A. J. Dougherty, member OF the

$3.50 per day at that price and threw

a square deal for .the committee "a

PRED|CTS EARLY
VICTORY FOR
sUFFRAG|sTs
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, Noted Eng
lish Worker for Cause, Now in
City. Says Parliament Will Pass.
Suffrage Bill This Year.
Well Pleased With Progress Of Move
ment in United States--Wil
Lecture Here Tonight.

That the equal suffrage movement
Is showing very satisfactory progress
In the United States, Is the opinion
OF Miss Sylvia Pankhurst. the noted
English suffragist and daughter OF
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, who has
been a leader In the equal suffrage
movement In England for many years
She also predicts q victory for the
suffragists In England before the end
of the present year.
Miss Pankhurst arrived In Detroit
Saturday noon, from Lansing, where
she gave a public address In the house
OF representatives, Friday evening
She was the guest OF the Mems Equal
Suffrage league at luncheon In the
Elliott Taylor Woolfenden Co.'s cafe.
She speaks tonight in the Church OF
Our Father.
II can tell that the movement is
advancing In this country from the
way am, received in places where my
mother found there was but little In
terest in the question when she was
over here Is months ago" said Miss
Pankhurst to The Times. In Califor-
MIA, Kansas, Oregon and Nevada they
are submitting the question to the peo-
Pile. A resolution providing for the
submission OF the question to the peo-
pie has just passed the state senate
in Illinois. A similar resolution
almost passed the Iowa legislature,
and the same thing happened In
Michigan, so that the question In
these two states seems to be hanging
in the balance, with very good pros
poets OF success later on.
"All this shows a splendid advance.
and | think the outlook for equal sun
rage I'm this country is most promising.
The hardest fight. OF course, will be
in the east, particularly In New York
and Boston. where the people are very
conservative.
I'VE expect to win our fight in
Britain this year. The only reason
our bill has not passed u that the
cabinet has refused to give us time.
But both houses are favorable to the
measure and our bill has very good
place this year, so / can see no reason
why II should not go through"
Rep. Charles Flowers, of Detroit.
chairman OF the committee that re-
ported favorably on the equal suffrage
resolution and who made strong plea
for its passage in the house, says
there Is a possibility that the resolu-
tion will be brought up again before
the legislature adjourns, In which

You Are a Parent?

Your child in school a certain num-
Der of hours each day, using the eyes
constantly.
Each year the lessons become hard
.er, books are taken home, studies are
continued in the evening, the eyes
are being overtaxed, the delicate mus
cles are strained. Nature has not
provided for the excessive use of the
eyes in childhood; yet perhaps no
thought is given to helping the eyes.
Great injury results from this neg
lect.
We must realize that, if there is
cause for eye strain there must
be a remedy; the remedy most nat
urally would be rest for the eyes
this rest can be obtained by wearing
resting glasses. Come and get my
advice. Come and let me explain to
you scientifically why resting glasses
should be worn.
