point of scientist and educator the

Stake of Women in Public Affairs"
After Voicing his belief that most
of the women before him Will live TO
vote, and after a severe arraignment
of both the Democratic and the Re-
publican party, he expressed a nope
that women will use their right OF
franchise to take politics out OF poll
tics. The things which concern the
noclSetbook were pronounced of the
least importance, while the good of the
entire body polite and a fair show Tor
each and every city, whether male or
female, rich or poor, was declared OIL
supreme value.
Among the subjects to which women
were counciled to turn their attention
were the abolishing of war and the
furtherance of education, temperance
and municipal sanitation. Woman
activities as a home maker, it was SAID,
fit her to act as guardian of the pup
tic health, TO institute and carry out
health and pure-food reforms and 10
insist upon conservation of the nation S
natural resources. The speaker be-
lieves in boycotts, for the simple rea =
son that they set people to thinking,
and, following a similar line OF argu-
ment in. the matter of votes for women,
he holds that when women vote they
will then be led to think about the
things that men have been considering
for a long time.

be 1.-THE Physiology of Violin Playing. "
A protracted illness forced Mr.. Wy

chamber concerts until his strength
should be fully regained. His lecture
on the 10Th is designed to show why
the violin has the reputation of awe
inspiring difficulty and how it can be
reduced in this respect to the level of
other standard instruments.
