MISS HOOPER MADE
HONORARY MEMBER

Nashville, March l6.-In honor of
the fact that Miss Annie b. Hooper is
the youngest suff'ragist in the nation TO
openly declare herself in favor of the
ballot for women, the members of the
Nashville equal suffrage league today
voted to make the little 9.years.old
daughter of the governor of Tennessee
an honorary member for life. The ac-
ton was taken following an address
- the little girl made before meeting of
he local members of the league at Car
negie library this afternoon.
The child has become interested in
the question through hearing it dis
cussed in her home. She wrote little
"piece" about it several days ago and
the members of the Nashville Equal
Suffrage association asked her to
"make an address " before the league
today, which she did. Annie b. was
accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Ben
w. Hooper. The little girl spoke with
perfect poise and ease of manner, and
her pretty blue eyes shone with a good
deal of fire as though she really might
mean what she said.
On being introduced by the president
Mrs Guilford Dudley, the very Iittest
suritagist in America came forward
and said in an even little voice clearly
and distinctly:
"Mrs President and Ladies: II gives
me much pleasure to COME before you
today. I am too little to know much
about woman's suffrage, but | am
learning more about it every day. I
hear it discussed by many people, and
read about it. Mama was against wo-
mans suffrage until she heard Miss
Panhurst. Daddy has never said he
was for wOman'S suffrage yet, but |
think when get through with him he
will be all right. expect to know as
much as my brothers when we are
grown. l will know rs well how to
Vote as they will. My two little broth
ers say they are going TO be farmers,
but am going to be lawyer. 1t will
be twelve years before am old enough
to vote, and / hope by that time we
can vote in Tennessee, if | can't will
go to California where | can vote"
Little Miss Hooper wrote her address
all by herself, neither the governor nor
his wife helping her in the least.

POSITIONS FOR
The GRADUATES
How Boys of Glass of IL
Are Spending the Summer.

With less than two weeks passed
since the class of 1912 of the high
school bid their beloved Alma
Mater Alden" it has been found
that the male members, with about
five exceptions, are actively engaged
in the different industries located at
the present time in this city. The
ambition of the boys is shown in
the cases of several who started
working the morning of commence
ment day. One of the number came
home from work too late to be ready
for the carriage which was to take
him to P%roctor's theatre where the
graduation exercises were being
held.
Showing such a praiseworthy spir-
it, 1t is not at all surprising that the
youths OF the class have easily pro-
cured work. Most of the boys are
going to college next year and are
now paving the way so that their life
there may be spent as it should be.
The minority are now started in the
paths of life and may remain in the
employ of their present benefactors
for many future years. These of
course expect advancement. Some
of them are standing the test of
hard work, which does not necessa-
rily mean that they + doing man
ual abOr. Ten or eleven hours of
slight mental strain will tire one,
and there are many who are work
ing these long hours and do not feel
inclined to hide these facts either.
The Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany in Maurer seems to employ
more of the boys than any one other
individual concern. John Toolan,
Douglas Grant Couden and Barney
Dudley Browning are now in the
employ of that firm. William ellis
is working for the Roessler & Hass-
lacher Chemical Works; William
T~herkelson has been learning the ell

NEARLY DRAWN
into ROLLERS
Amos R. Richards Saved by
HW Presence of Mind.

A narrow escape from being
crushed to death was the experience
of Amos f. Richards, of Market
street, superintendent of the rolling
mill department of the c.. Pardee
Works yesterday afternoon. Rich
ards, who is an expert machinist,
was in charge of repairing one of
the large rollers. While tightening
a bolt on the inner casing of the
machinery the power was applied
and his hands were caught. In an
instant he was being drawn into the
clutches of the rollers.
The rollers gradually drew both
arms of Richards in as far as the
elbows. Realizing that his body
would surely but slowly be crushed
he yanked both of his arms out, tear
ing the flesh as he did so. DR.. G. w.
Fithian, the attending physician,
says the mans presence of mind
saved his life. The physician is of
the opinion that both of Richards
hands will be saved.
