SUFFRAGE As CHECK
ON "MUSHY" SENTIMENT.

We Futurists are in favor OF suf-
frage. As far as II concerns Tho bal
lot we do not care. We want women
TO be on an equal footing with men.
A oma IL merely a man, but because
Of her social position we have made a
goddess OF her. When she comes down
on the same footing politically with men
all this mushy sentiment will disa ppear.
Men and women will become conidants
the same as men become conidants.
Men will not hesitate TO speak out to
women as they do now. . They will
treat women as equal and speak to
them as they would to men. Our love
will become like the love OF the cave
men and cave women. All mushy senti-
ment will go and the whole thing will
be more healthy"

Futurism as It applies 20 painting. Mr..
Dabo drew diagrams to illustrate the
application OF the new philosophy to

art aims to show movement. Nature is

movement should be shown. Said Mr..
Dabo:
The newspaper cartoonist who illus

lines through the air that shows the
course the cat has and is taking. That

Economic accuracy means the elimina-
ton of those minor details for which sci
entists are great sticklers. 1t means the
attaining of the same beneficial results
in a businesslike manner. Such was Mr..
Fischer's method in the construction or
this machine. and il required the most
exhaustive search among all kinds OF me-
chanical devices. Such work was neces-
sarily slow. Plan after plan was drawn
and discarded. The process of forcing a
liquid into and out of a graduated vessel
as we'll as the loading and unloading or
balance beams were considered and given
up. and Mr.. Fischer finally devoted his
attention TO the chain method. Though
