By MIS-. sakburst and tho small min
GRITTY OF American suEragists who seem
disposed 20 approve OF the policy Of the
British "sursraGettes" should have

something peculiarly repelIant to the

cause of feminine suffrage.
The vital weakness in this propa-
gan6a Hes in the fact that it does not
command anything like actual approval
among tho great body of intelligent
women. IF it's champions want to
mako Roadway they need to address
their appeals not to the men, but to
their own sex.
And If they expect to inspire a grow

to the idea which they preach they
should stop depicting violence and law

follows that this policy, so far as the
present generation is concerned, will
bring them very much nearer to their

toward the other in the United States

LONG LIVED OLIVE TREES.
Groves That Have Been Productive For
Many Centuries.

Groves That Have Been Productive For
Many Centuries.
The longevity of olive trees is extraor-
binary. In Syria have been found some
remarkably ancient olive trees whose
ages are established beyond question.
A trust deed exists which relates to an
orchard covering 400 trees near Tripoli
Syria, the trust deed having been is
sued in the year 141O.
Though the trees look aged, they still
bear fruit of fine quality in abundance
and are likely to maintain their pro-
ductiveneSs for many hundreds of
years. An olive grove near Beirut
is admitted to be the third largest
olive farm in the world. Syrian fruit
farmers are extending olive culture
with much zeal and effect
Under European systems of culture
the Syrians make the olive tree bear
each season, while in the old days one
crop in three years was thought to be
all that the trees could produce. The
low cropping capacity Of the trees was
due to the native method of thrashing
the fruits from the branches with
sticks, which seriously injured them.
The methods of grinding the olive
for oil and picking the fruit are pecul-
lar. Neither the grinders nor pickers
receive wages. but are paid on per-
centage. The pickers receive per
cent of the actual fruit picked. and the
grinders get 10 per cent of the fruit

at the very least, $7s50O.000 is expend-
ed yearly by the old school system on
children that arc carried of by con-
sumption before their 18th year. It is
to stop that waste of life and money,
as well as to prevent contagion, that
that the outdoor or "open air" school
has been brought to this country from
Germany, according 10 Edwin Bjork-
man in the December Van Norden Mag
azine.
Providence, r. l., which established
the first special school for deficient or
backward children in this country,
was also the first city to test and prove
the value Of the opeu-air school. Two
woman physicians. Dr. Ellen A Stone
and DR.. Mary S. Packard, took the in
itfative, and they gained without diff
Guilty the approval and active coopera-
ton of the school and health authori-
ties of the city, as we'll as the full sup
port of the Providence League for the
Suppression of tuberculosis. That
first school was opened two years ago.
Boston came next, less than a year
ago, and was followed by New York,
Chicago, Pittsburg; Brookline, Mass:
Hartford, Conn, and Asheville, N. c.
Charleston, Mass, was the first city
known to have a special "open-air
class" for the delicate children in one
Of its schools. At present Baltimore;
Columbus, Ohio; Dallas, Texas; Phil
adelphia. and Detroit are preparing
for open-air schools, while Boston is
planning to enlarge the one it has, and
Chicago is talking of adding three new
ones to the one already in use.

ONE MORE ALLEGED
VICTIM OF TOM CLARK


One more victim Of Tom Clark,
the alleged bunco steerer, charged
with completely in the robbery Of
ELI Chrisvich at the Midget bar
three nights ago, was found today
when Adolph Pearson, q Swedish
resident of Cripple Creek, Colo.
came to the police station today
with a story of how he was bun
coed out of $15 by Clark last Sun
day night.
Pearson says he was resting at
the Northern Pacific depot after
an exhaustive journey here from
Colorado. when Clark came up to
him and asked him to exchange q
$50 bill for smaller money. Pearson
said he did SO to accommodate him,
and on first counting the money
given him by the bunco steerer
found that he was 81 short He
called Clarke's attention to the sup
posed mistake, he states, and was
given a silver dollar more, after
Clark had looked over the bills he
had given Pearson first.
Several minutes later Pearson be-
came suspicious, and taking the
roll of small bills from his pocket
again, he counted them and found
that he had but S. all told. Clark
had evidently slipped the remain
der of the money from the roll
when he recounted 1t on his vic
TINS complaint of having received
but $19.
Pearson was taken to the city
Jail, where he positively identified
Clark as the man who had beaten
him on the change, and his evil
dence will be used against him
when he comes up for trial charged
with grand larceny in the case of
which Chrisvich, the Austrian, is
the complaining witness.
