The closeness of the latest election Is probably one factor In the recent un-precedented ousting of the President.

Washington. "The unusual situa-tion of the President of Chile attempt-ing unsuccessfully to resign, and In-stead being sent by congress on a six months' leave of absence, draws atten-tion to that country's constitution, which In many ways is the most In-teresting In Latin America," says a bulletin from the Washington head-quarters ot the National Geographic society. President Arturo Alessandrl, to whom reference Is made, is now living In Argentina while bis country Is In the hands of a military and naval com-mittee and a new cabinet formed un-der this "Junta." "The Chilean constitution," con-tlnu-the bulletin, "has existed since 1833 and Is the oldest constitution of a republic In the Western hemisphere except that of the United States. It Is an Intimate mixture of the govern-mental principles of the United States and those of Europe.

A sort of connecting link was established between the Executive and the legislature In the form of a coun-cil of state made up of the President the cabinet, five additional members chosen by the President, and six chosen by congress. "The constitution has had only slight modifications.-- .The provision establishing the Roman Catholic church and prohibiting other forms ot public worship hus been amended to permit other religions to celebrate their rites In their own buildings and civil marriages are now recognised. The provision setting up property qualifications for voters has been con-strued liberally until now literacy Is the chief test ' "In late years, however, the more llbernl parties have gained strength steadily, and It was an alliance of such a complexion that In 1920 elect-ed the recently ousted President What the President stood for when he took office Is Indicated by the principal rec-ommendations in his message of June, 1921. He advocated Improved legal status for women, labor welfare, com- - seemed to be steering Chile toward a real parliamentary system; but the coup d'etat appears to have been la the opposite direction. "Under the Chlleon constitution of 1833 the American system of three separate functions executive, legisla-tive and judlclul was adopted; but unlike the United States, Chile Incor-porated a system of federal centralisa-tion which Is probably more extreme than In any other republic. The Presi-dent appoints the 23 lntendants, who correspond roughly to our governors. With the lntendants nominating them, he also appoints the 82 governors who rule over districts such as might be formed by groups of counties In the United States. The governors appoint euhdelegales to administer what might roughly correspond to townships, and the subdejegates In turn appoint In-spectors for small precincts.

"The constitution of 1833 provided for the indirect election of the Presi-dent for five years through a sort of electorul college; the Indirect election of senators in the provinces for six-yea- r terms; and the direct election of members of the lower house from the districts for three-yea- r terms.

Presumably the amount In-volved Is not staggering, but Just Im-agine whet the totals would run to If every Lucy Stoner defies Comptrol-ler General McCarll For example, there's Mrs. Helen Hamilton Gardener, who Is, according to the Congressional Directory, one of the three civil service commission-ers and receives $5,000 a year. But that n and Justly famous collection of autobiographies, "Who's Who," says that Helen Hamilton Gar-dener (no "Mrs.") has been the wife of Col. Selden Alden Day, U. 8. A., since 1901. Nevertheless, Mrs. Gardener or Helen Hamilton Gardener or Mrs. Day should know what she is doing, for she's a graduate (1872) of the Ohio State Normal school. She has spent many years In travel In 20 countries, collecting pictures and data on social and political conditions. She's a mem-ber of clubs In Washington, New York, London, Paris and Rome. She's the author, since 1890, of six works. She's a member of the executive board, vice president and vice chairman of the congressional committee of the Nation-al American Womun Suffrage associa tes ders used to say that Lucy "first really stirred the nation's heart on the subject of woman's wrongs." Any-way, Lucy was the first American to hang on to her own name after mar-riage. At thirty-seve- n years of age she married In 1855 Henry B.

For he has bearded the married maidens In their den, the Lucy Stoners In their hall. This sounds a bit mixed, but it's Just exactly what he has done. And, what's more, he has run right smack up against the serried runks of the National Woman's party, led by Alice Paul and Legal Research Secre-tary Burnlta Shelton Mathers, march-ing at the double-quic- k for the fray. Comptroller General McCarl, In short, has made the ruling that a mar-ried woman employee of the federal government who wishes to be carried on the government payroll must en-roll under her married name. He quotes various marriage laws and then lays down this ultimatum: The law of thla country that th wife takes the surname ot the husband Is at well settled as that the domicile of the wife merges In the domicile of the hus-band. A wife mlsht reetde apart from her husband, but ae long-- as she re-mains his lawful wife she has but one legal domicile and that Is the domicile of her husband. So it Is wltli the name. Ehe may have an assumed name, but she has but one legal name. Now, why did McCarl do ltt He's been a married man since 1905 and lias presumably learned not to rush In where angels fear to trend. Prob-ably the poor man Is Just playing safe. For, you see, as comptroller general he's bead of the general accounting office and It's his business to watch all disbursements of the public funds to the lust penny. So, of course, If the Lucy Stoners are being Illegally paid that means trouble for him. For Uncle Bum be It whispered when It conies to the pnylng out of real cash Is Just a bit near, as they say In Cul-vl- n- Coolldge's neck of woods. Comptroller General McCarl Is s lawyer and he may be right about the law In the case. Nevertheless, here's the other side: The National Woman's party has pointed out In the brief submitted that none of the cases cited by Mr. MoCarl has any bearing on this case; that no statute or court decision exists In any stats supporting the principle that a woman must take her husband's name; that contracts, decrees, deeds, made In the maiden name of a married woman ars everywhere valid at law; that the law allows any one, man or woman, to aeeum any name he or she chooses. The casus belli, so to sieak, Is the case of a nurse In St. Elizabeth's hos-pital, under the Interior department, who married lust summer and refused Evidently she had found the transla-tions of those texts all wrong, for 'that same year she delivered from her brother's pulpit at Gardner, Mass., the very first lecture on woman's rlKhts. The next year she lectured In New England, the "West" and Canada for the Massachusetts Anti-Slaver- y soci-ety also on woman's rights. Aftet her marriage she became still more energetic. In 1809 she founded, with Julia Ward Ilowfe, the American Woman Suffrage association which later merged with the National Wom-an Suffrage association. It took these devoted women end their successors 51 years to obtain the suffrage by constitutional amendment. The Lucy Stoners seem to be getting along fulrly well aside from Comp-troller General McCarl. They can get life Insurance In some companies. They have little trouble with realtors and with landlords, with butcher and baker and candlestlckmaker. The postmaster general Is Indifferent and the Income tax people don't give a whoop. But hotelkeepers are s bit nervous. The State department soys when It comes to pussports that they can use their husbands' names or stay at home. And of course the mothers Invoriobly say, "my married daugh-ter, Mrs. tlon. And, finully, she was appointed to the civil service commission In 1920 the first woman member Is It' likely that a woman of her experience and official position would take $410.60 every month from Uncle Sam con-trary to law! McCarl certainly Is right as to the "domicile" part of the law, as he lays It down. And here's a pathetic case that proves it! Miss Doris Stevens was permanent chairman of the recent election con-ference of the National Woman's party, at which the delegate decided to cut loose from the whole tribe of male polltlcans, to elect 100 women to congress this fall and to establish a woman's bloc In the house. The delegates begged and Implored Miss Doris Stevens to be one of those 100 candidates. And that Insistent demand brought out this pitiful story: It appears that Miss Doris Stevens in private life Is Mrs. Dudley Field Mulone; that Mr. Malone had estab-lished a legal residence In Paris; that Paris was therefore her legal resi-dence; that she and her husband had been restored to American citizenship but hud not resided long enough In their American home to have even a vote.

Plan New Ways to Use Corncobs waste cobs could enhance materially the value of near-wast- e coal ; much experimental work has been done. "When cobs are digested for about two hours with steam under 135 pounds pressure per square Inch, with a very little sulphuric acid, a dif-ferent product results, furfural. "It can be obtained also from oat hulls, bagasse, bran and other vegeta-ble substances. Its use has been lim-ited because of the high cost by meth-ods heretofore employed. In 1920, possibly 50 pounds were used In the United States, only as a laboratory reagent ; the price was about $30. "In France and Germany furfural has been made si In the manufacture of alcohol from wood waste. The Miner laboratories of Chicago, by Independent renearch, de-veloped a process for furfural from oat hulls In large quantities. Annual production Is now thousands ot pounds, and since 1922 the price has been reduced to 23 cents. Precssses Worked Out "Research workers of the Depart-- 1 ment of Agriculture, continuing their Investlgathn at the Arlington Farm, Virginia, have worked out practical processes and equipment for furfural from cobs In large quantities, at still lower cost. On a scale of SO tons of cobs a day, yielding four and one-hal- f tons, furfural could be produced for about 8 rents a pound, making no si-- , lowance for Income from Furfural can now be made at much lower cost than formaldehyde, and can replace It In a number of acids. "Attention has turned to discovery of additional uses for furfural and en-largement of Its market. More than sixty patents on Its production and utilization have been Issued, mostly within the last Ave years. In the United States and' other countries. During the war a shortage of acetone could easily have been met by distill-ing cobs. "There Is a promising field In the manufacture of resins similar to bakellte, suitable for parts of elec-trical Instruments, for printing plates and various other molded articles. These phenol furfural resins are In-fusible and insoluble: they have high i Methods Are Devised to Avoid Waste of 20,000,-00- 0 Tons Yearly. Washington. Science bas found a way to avoid the yearly waste of tons of corncobs In the corn belt of the United States, according to a report of research work pre-pared by Frederick B. La Forge and Gerard Mains of the bureau of chem-istry, United States Department of Agriculture, and O. R. Sweeney, head of the chemical engineering depart-ment of Iowa State college, for Engi-neering Foundation. The Foundation, in commenting on the report, said that chemists and engineers appear to have opened a path to new Industries based on waste products, which deals with the discovery of new processes for making the corncobs commercially avalluble anl reveals their value. "One county In Missouri grows a certain kind of Indian corn because Its Urge cobat make good tobacco pipes," says the Foundation. "Some cobs are burned as fuel on farms. A 'maple sugar flnvor Is made by boil-ing cobs with water. Meat smoked with cobs has a flavor said to be bet-ter than that from hickory. There are other minor uses. "But what use can be made of the 15,000,000 or 20,000,000 tons of cobs wasted annually In the corn belt!
