WASHINGTON, D. C.—Wide
spread misapprehension exists as to
the real point at issue in the discus
sion as to whether or not Tennessee
has really ratified the 19th amend
ment to the constitution of the Unit
ed States, thus giving the privilege
of suffrage to women on an eqnal
basis with men in all the states.
The question at issue now is not
whether or mnot a state can with
draw ratification once made. Pages

l\'oted to the action of New York in
Isuch a matter many years ago.
| It_is the contention of the anti
suffragists that Tennessee never did
ratify the nineteenth amendment,
)and-x that the proclamation by Secre
tary of State Colby was erroneous.
'This contention is based on the par
liamentary argument that a motion
to reconsider the vote by which the
lower house of the: Tennessee: legis
lature approved the amendment was
pending and not disposed of when
the governor certified to Washing
ton that the ratification had been
accomplished. It is further argued
that & resolution cannot be adopted
while a motion to reconsider it is
pending.
Citing the Authorities.
True it is that in aceepted parliu
mentary procedure a bill is not re
garded as passed if a motion to re
consider it is pending. This rule has
the authority of congress, and has
been invoked frequently by the
speaker of the house of representa
tives.
If this rule settled the case it
would seem clear that Tennessee
never® did ratify the nineteenth
amendment and that the proclama
tion made by Secretary Colby wasl
erroneous. Whether or not that proc
lamation could be annulled and thef
error corrected would then become
a nice question of law. :

’MOTHERS SELL CHILDREN TO
~ AVERT STARVATION FOR THEM
Few Francs Enough to Buy Little
One in Lille. Courts Threaten
Severe Penalties.
LILLE, France.—A widespread
traffic in little children has just been
discovered in the Lille region, the
police attributing it to the high cost
of living. Mothers who are unable
to buy the proper food for their
babies prefer to sell them for a few
franes rather than see them die, it
was said.
Six cases of this kind were discov
ered last week. In no instance was
more than sixty franes paid for a
child. Indeed, one infant, 2 months
old, was sold to a wealthy and child
less farmer for ten francs.
The courts are threatening the
most severe penalties unless this
traffic ceases. It was stated that the
authorities had traced the practice
of selling children to a colony which
arriyed here from the French Alps
since the armistice was signed.

LIGHTNING BAKES
1300 BUSHELS BELIEVED DE
. STROYED PROVED TO HAVE
| BEEN ONLY WELL COOKED.
| _ GRAPELAND, Texas.—Mrs. Jno.
P. Latham, wife of one of the most
:])rominent farmers of this section of
| the state, will not have to worry
'about ‘baking” her sweet potatoes
| this fall and winter, Nature has re
|lieved Mrs.' Latham of that much
| cooking, and it usually is a good
' part of the culinary art in the La
| tham home. Mrs. Latham estimates
| that she has about three hundred
| bushels of “yellow yams” already
' baked for the coming year., The
“baking” of these potatoes was done
!by a most unusual freak of nature,
‘according to Mr. Latham. Lightning
‘struck the entire potato patch and
‘the tubers were baked in the ground.
Now all Mrs. Latham has to do to
have baked potatoes for any meal is
walk out into what was originally
the sweet potato patch and scratch
out a few big juicy yams which were
cooked in the unusual manner.
According to Mr. Latham there
was a terrific electrical storm in his
neighborhood a short time ago. He
and his wife noticed that the light
ning “played over” the potato patch
for some time. Not only once, but
several times during the storm. Mrs.
Latham declares that at times the
entire sweet potato patch was liter
ally a sheet of flames for five min
utes at a time. She and her husband
commented on the unusual phenome
na then and arrived at the conclusion
that something in the sweet potato
patch must have been charged with
electricity of an opposite nature to
that contained by the atmosphere.
Vines Are Dead and Dry.
A couple of days.later they noticed
that the potato vines were dead and
drying up, according to Mr. Latham.
They then decided the blight of the
potato vines was due to the effects
of the electrical storm. It was about
time for harvesting the potato crop,
anyway, and Latham decided to
“dig” them immediately.
Imagine his surprise when with his
spade he turned up a handful of big
tubers. They were all baked to a tas
ty brown! He could not believe his
eyes, so he tested his discovery with
his mouth. His orbs had not deceiv
ed him. The potatoes were baked!
But Latham would not be convine
ed. He took a couple of the big yel
low yams to the house and his wife
examined them. She found they were
cooked as well as she could ever
hope to bake them in the oven of her
$125 range.
Together Mr. and Mrs. Latham re
turned to the potato patch. They
dug hill and after of the potatoes
and in every instance found the tu
bers baked. In many instances the
“honeyed juice was oozing out of
them,” and “candied yams” were
plentiful. Mrs. Latham found that
the potatoes were baked in such
elaborate manner that all requred
to make them ready for serving is
slip the coat off the meat and begin
eating. e
Many Visit the Field.
There was about one acre of the
patch which was struck by lightning.
Latham declares that judging by the
few vines he had dug under the
vield of the acre will be about three
hundred bushels. Latham declares
that he usually digs the sweet pota
toes and stores them away in a dry
place to prevent their rotting dur
ing the winter. He says this will not
be necessary this winter. He will al-
Jow them to remain in the ground
‘and dig them by the “mess,” that is
when he and his folks feel like they
’\\fant sweet potatoes he will go out
and dig enough for the meal. If it is
‘decided they prefer the tubers hot
Mrs. Latham declares she will warm
them up in the stove.
Hundreds of people have visited
the patch of “baked potatoes.” They
have sampled the cooked tubers and
say they are as well flavored as any
they ever baked or bought in the
best of cafes. :
