Know your Lumens, Watts and Hour ratings. The Lumen measures how much light to expect; the Watt measures the power used by the bulb; the Hour rating tells the average life of the bulb. These ratings are printed on each package. A 100-watt bulb with a high lumen rating will burn brighter than a 100-watt bulb with a lower rating .'. . but it won't burn as long. Use the higher rated bulbs for the kitchen and for reading. Be wise ... if you don't need as much light, save your money and use lower lumen bulbs. A 60-watt bulb burns for 17 hours for the same money it takes to light a 100-watt bulb for 10 hours. Housecleaning Tips As the days get shorter, more costly energy is required to light and run the home. Joan Bonnett, University of Illinois Extension family economics specialist, suggests several ways you can conserve energy f - yet keep the house bright and I cheery. --•J -Think about repainting walls with lighter colors to reflect more light and reduce lighting costs. A light room is also more cheerful on drab wintry days. -Keep all lighting equipment clean. Dust and soil reduce lighting efficiency. -Check lampshades for discoloration. White reflects more light. If the insides of shades have darkened, clean, reline or replace. -Draperies, kept closed, will help keep out cold air and reduce heating costs. On bright days, open them to let in the sun's heat. -Fall cleaning means heavy laundry chores: bedspreads, curtains and bedding. Be sure to use full washer loads to conserve energy. With heavily soiled fabrics, use hot water. Warm or cool water is suf­ ficient for most other articles. -Enjoy warm breezy fall days and conserve energy by opening windows instead of using air conditioners to cool off. Once cold weather sets in, however, replace screens with storm windows to help keep in the heat. -Change furnace filters every two months. Clogged filters in a hot air system can increase heating costs sub­ stantially. Some filters can be cleaned by tapping them and vacuuming gently or by washing with a hose or under a faucet. Others are disposable. -Clean electrical baseboard and hot water units. Dust collects on the metal fins surrounding the heating element, reducing efficiency. Remove baseboard cover and clean fins with a vacuum. Even if you did this as a part of spring housecleaning, dust may have accumulated over the summer months. -Lubricate electric motors, fans and pumps according to the manufacturer's directions. Use oil sparingly once or twice ® a year. -Check all belt drives for proper tension. You should be able to press belts together one half to one inch when properly adjusted. Replace cracked or frayed belts. Numerous Indictments Returned On Tuesday Numerous indictments were returned to Judge James H.

WITH JOHN H.KFISER HISTORIAN SANGAMON STATE UNIVERSITY WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ILLINOIS » Ratification of the woman suffrage amendment to the US Constitution in 1919 by the Illinois legislature was an anti­ climax. The real battle in the Prairie State had been fought and won with passage of the Presidential and Municipal Suf­ frage Bill in 1913. ; Woman suffrage did not come easily. The first woman suffrage association was organ­ ized in Earlville in 1855. The Civil War provided impetus for the movement when it forced many of the state's women into new and sometimes pain­ ful roles. With their husbands and fathers away at war, women discovered themselves capable of functioning as effec­ tive, independent, individuals. Thus, Mother Mary Bickerdyke and Mary Jane Safford went inlo battle as army nurses, and Mary Thompson was named head of the Chicago Hospital for Women and Children. During the war years, Chica- goan Mary Livermore hired a housekeeper to care for her family so she could devote full time to the Chicago Sanitary Commission. Her previous ex­ perience had included teaching and editing her Universalist minister husband's newspaper, New Covenant, and she saw war work as an opportunity for the "regeneration" of the state's women. With Mrs. Jane Hogue, Mrs. Livermore was ,put in charge of the Chicago Com­ mission in 1862. Sanitary Com­ missions throughout the North raised funds for hospital sup­ plies and provided extra food and clothing for Union troops. Mrs. Livermore personally helped organize 3000 local groups throughout the upper Midwest. During her war work, Mary Livermore declared that wom­ en would be overjoyed to re­ turn to their proper place in die home as soon as the emer­ gency ended. Her personal ob­ servations, however, gradually convinced her that poverty, prostitution, and alcoholism could not be ended until wom­ en had the power to vote. Her experience is typical of many 19th century feminists who be­ came advocates of the rights of women as an offshoot of their reform, social, or charity work on behalf of all humanity. In 1868 Mrs. Livermore or­ ganized the Illinois Women's Suffrage Association. The group met in Liberty Hall, Chi­ cago in 1869 and elected her its first president. She founded a women's rights newspaper, the Agitator, and was elected vice president of the American Women's Suffrage Association at its organizational convention in late 1869. After the war women began actively organizing art, music, and literary societies which be­ came more involved in social reform by the 1890s. More was at stake than just the vote. At the close of the war Illinois women had virtually no civil rights. The age of consent was 10 years, and a woman's legal identity was suspended with marriage. Such professions as law were closed, and women had no legal right to equal guardianship of their children or to control of their earnings. By 1900, those restrictions had been lifted one by one-often as a result of lobbying by members of the Illinois Woman Suffrage Association. Women were made eligible for some appointive offices and for such elective school offices as the University of Illinois Board of Trustees. The" 1913 bill was the same one brought to Springfield ev­ ery year since 1890 by IWSA legislative representative Catha­ rine Waugh McCullough. The 1913 session of the House con­ tained (for the first and last time) 26 Progressives and three Socialists - all of whom voted for the measure and provided the margin of victory. Al­ though more Republicans than Democrats favored the bill, it was not a strict party line vote. Illinois was the first state east of the Mississippi and the first in the Mississippi basin to extend suffrage to women. The precedent was an important one in generating national sup­ port for the 19th amendment by which all women got the vote.

Percy ARTICHOKE The artichoke is a remote relative of the Syrian thistle. Ar­ tichokes grow on stalks of plants three to four feet high. Usually eaten after boiling, artichokes have a delicate, sweet, nutty taste. They are rich in iron, mineral salts, and iodine. Dip each leaf into melted butter, hollandaise sauce, or oil and vinegar for gourmet delight. SUPERSHOPPER Surveys reveal today's super­ m a r k e t s h o p p e r i s m o r e dissatisfied than ever before. The main grievance is food costs. Product shortages and food quality are also main concerns of inflation-plagued shoppers. Throughout my eight years in the Senate, I have advo­ cated Federal assistance pro­ grams to promote home own­ ership among low and mod­ erate income individuals and families. These programs--specifical­ ly the Federal Housing Ad­ ministration's mortgage insur­ ance and subsidized housing plans--are as conceptually sound today as when they were first created in 1969. But they have been misman­ aged. There is clearly a need for reform to help assure that these programs serve the con­ sumer rather than special in­ terests. Federal housing programs are popular as well as sound in concept. In Illinois nearly 400,000 home owners (3.5 per cent of the state's population) have purchased homes with Federal assistance. Outside the Chicago metropolitan area almost 170,000 Illinoisans hold FHA-backed mortgages. Reports of widespread abuse and even fraud in FHA pro­ grams are common. Recent newspaper reports have charged abuse and fraud in Chicago, and similar reports have claimetF mismanagement of FHA programs in Detroit and New York. A common theme dominates these re­ ports: homeowners are un­ protected against unscrupu- lous mortgage companies. Congress should act now to correct this serious deficiency in FHA programs to protect home owners and safeguard future home buyers from sim­ ilar abuses. I recently introduced the Home Buyers and Home Owners Protection Act to re­ form and revitalize FHA's housing programs. The bill directs the Secretary of Hous­ ing and Urban Development, who has ultimate responsibil­ ity for FHA programs, to take specific actions to better serve housing consumers. Specifically, the Act creates ! an Office of Consumer Affairs *, in HUD to act as a consumer advocate. The Office would serve as a mediator between home buyers and developers and between home owners and mortgage companies. The goal of this Office would be to help assure home buyers and home owners a quality prod­ uct and fair financing. The Act also provides for a neighborhood counseling serv­ ice to help home buyers and home owners locate, acquire and maintain their property. All too often, new home buy­ ers are unfamiliar with the financial obligations that ac- company home ownership. Neighborhood counseling serv­ ice offices would be located in areas of high mortgage in­ surance activity, and would provide assistance to home owners who face default and foreclosure proceedings. The Act also provides pro­ visions to guarantee FHA in­ sured homes against certain structural defects for five years; establishes a program to protect home owners against default and foreclos­ ure due to personal economic hardships; informs home own­ ers of any sale, resale or as­ signment of a mortgage; and directs the Secretary of HUD to recommend legislation that would discourage purchase of mortgages by out-of-state in­ terests. These consumer-protection measures are entirely justi­ fied. Consider the government costs (to say nothing of per­ sonal loss) that result from default or foreclosure of FHA- backed housing. Estimates show that HUD loses an aver­ age of $13,000 on every FHA foreclosure. Mismanagement of the FHA insurance pro­ gram has cost taxpayers $4 billion over the past six years. Reform of FHA housing programs can help reverse this troubling trend in gov­ ernment-backed housing. Con­ gress must assure that the re­ sults of FHA mismanagement are not repeated in thousands of communities in Illinois and throughout the nation.
