English suffragettes continue their
outrages. Several officials at a recent
election in John Bulls land were
severely burned by acid which some
of these misguided women tossed
about with the hopes of destroying
thousands OF ballots which had been
cast. Women who conduct them
selves in this fashion have no claim
to equal rights except those which are
accorded to the inmates of jails. 1t is
such acts as these which hurt the

FROM OTHER PENS

TURKEYS NEW DEVELOPMENT
The new regime in Turkey promises to
be of more than sentimental interest in
the United States. The development OF
the country offers opportunities for sue
cessful American enterprise. Modern
methods of agriculture, with the use of
n achinery, will render profitable great
tracts of land. Much mineral wealth
also awaits development. Inland towns
need railways and wagon roads. Con-
stantinople, a city of nearly a million
Inhabitants. has no electric lights or
railways and no telephone. 1t has in
adequate Waterworks and only a poor
ice plant. Capital is invited to make
large concessions and franchises. There

the bridge between Galata and Siam
boul, a distance of one-third of a mile.
Lack of transportation has hindered
the development of mineral wealth. AL

through Asia Minor to the Mediterran-
can. If this concession be granted, it
is reported that rich mining region

HERE COME THE BRITISH
TAILORS.
Those melancholy days have come.
in some respects the saddest of the
year, when the English tailor reaches
out yearningly to make the American
man. There are already plates in the
papers of the threatened British
styles Condescendingly we are told
that Americans are really. though
gradually, learning how to dress. An
approach to the feminine wasp waist
is suggested in the London fall de-
signs as step further in the right
way.
Just why we should be accused of
haphazard dressing wherever we fail
to follow the lead of the English pat
tern makers appears chiefly to those
professional gentlemen themselves.
William Archer, the London critic,
has expressed himself pleasantly on
the American freedom from the hard
and-fast rule of evening clothes for
the theater-a rule regardless of any
mans condition of mind, haste or
business. There have been other
words from English friends, but not
from tailors. equally kind to our
sartorial customs: And on the score of
haphazardness many travelling obser- |
vers agree that the clothes worn in |

Roadway Experiment.

A unique experiment is going to be
tried when the new highway is built
between Washington and Alexandria,
Va. A number of leading manufacture
ers of road building materials will enter
a contest to see whose process will
make the best road under actual trial.
The competitive or test roads will be
constructed under the supervision of
the National and State road experts and
the manufacturers have been assured
that the foundations of these roads will
be placed in the best possible condition,
which will guarantee to all competitors
fair and equal chance. Those who
have accepted the proposition are the
Road Department of the Standard Oil
Company, the Indian Refii ing Com
pany, Barber Asphalt Paving Company,
the Wadsworth Stone and Paving Com
pany, The. Robson Process Company,
and several others. These companies
have indicated that they would like to
build at least 1000 feet of road in
order to make the test decisive The
companies have agreed to furnish the
materials for the test free, and in some
cases to do the construction work them
selves.
