That is one of the questions the

If the court gives its approval to
this ancient method of discipline, An

In 1906 Miss Kelley was teaching in

WASHINGTON little while after
w automobiles had come into gen.
aral use, those newspapers which con-
Germ themselves more with fancy than
with fact began to worry in their
columns about what they termed "the
automobile face" They had cartoons
,howing faces lined and marked. with
squinted eyes.
These came, the papers said, from
he habit of speeding cars The papers
figured that when a motorist gripped
he wheel and started ahead at the
strip of dusty road that was spinning
1nder the car, there was so much
tension that the lines and squint came
without the drivers being aware of
hem.

about that now; for such papers do

High School Debating League Formed.
The organization of a state high
school debating league which was be-
gun some time ago at the University
of Kansas has been completed. The
league is being fostered by the school
here and its functionary department
is under the supervision of Prof. r. R.
Price, head of the University Exten-
sion department. The plan at present
is that each district into which the
organization is divided, shall arrange
schedule of debates between the high
schools in their division and later in
the spring series of final arguments
will be held at the university. At that
time the winners in, each district will
contest for a number of medals and
loving cups offered by the university.
The state officers of the league were
chosen and are as follows: President,
H. L. Miller, superintendent of schools
of Kansas City, Kan; secretary and
treasurer, Prof r. R. Price of the Uni
versity of Kansas. The executive com
mittee consists of the above named
officers and State Superintendent E. T

SGT rs up to you," said the suffragists
i to congress, and it took so auto
mobiles and a ton of paper to carry
the message to the capitol Those who
expected to see suffragette demon
stration, as often occurs in the halls
of the English houses of parliament,
were disappointed.
With banners af1oat and finery af1ut-
ter, in a procession of taxicabs nearly
mile long, the suffragists moved on
Capitol hill and presented to congress
400, 900 individual demands for votes
for women. The mammoth national
petition was divided into little ones,
each nicely tied with a bit of yellow
ribbon and grouped into little bundles
of just the convenient size for suf-
fragette to carry under her arm.
Senators and representatives from
every state received some part of that
petition.
Some of the Iowa delegation were
frightened when they heard some
members of the house had refused to
present the petition. They sent for
Senator Dolliver.
Il would advise those members to

on the afternoon of April 20, 1909, as
Young's train was switching across

old, carrying an umbrella, walked on
the track ahead of the train and was
knocked down. The first axle passed
over him. Young, who saw him fall,
dashed under the freight car, seized
the senseless boy by one hand and
with the other arm grabbed a brake

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeths
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch

torture. My hair was long and tan

scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. 1 was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places so that my
fnger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.

Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. I COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp / used about one half cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time took six or seven bottles of Gu
