Americas motorists will take ad-
vantage of this, the first bright Sun
day in quite a while, for joy ride in
the country and scores of cars will
thus spin over the few roads upon
which riding is pleasant
The Plains and Ellaville roads are
the only ones open to machines their
full length, although good stretches of
several miles are to be found on the
Leslie, Smithyille and Oglethorpe
roads.
For many weeks the car owners here
have been denied the pleasure of long
Sunday rides, as the result of the
wretched condition of nearly all the
highways, and it will be source Of
rejoicing indeed when, with the perm
anent return of good weather, the
roads are put again in their former
prime condition.

of the United States may think
they have some problem to work
out when they ask themselves:
what are we going to do with
our ex-presidents ?"
> But that is mere sack of to-
bacco compared to the problem
that is now agitating this coup-
try.
+ What are we going to do with
our suffragettes? Not our ex-
suffragettes! There's nothing ex
about suffragette.
A mere ex-president can be
chloroformed if things come to
the worst, but how can we chloro-
form few thousand energetic,
and 1ight-minded women?
Down at the old Bailey JAIL,
there are over 100. suffragettes re-
manded for trial for breaking
windows last Friday. They are
being ted bread and water, and
ought, by all the laws of reason,
to be subdued. But they're not,
and neither are their friends out
side.
Yesterday, the imprisoned suf
fragettes expressed a wish to see
their leader, Emmeline Pank-
hurst. The request was refused.
Whereupon those 100 suffra-
gettes, in their one hundred cells,
promptly smashed the windows,
tore up the bed clothes, and made
the lives of other prisoners in the
Jail miserable by singing the
Marseillaise to the aecompani-
ment of hideous din made by
banging their tin dishes against
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-03-04

Italian hands in.
First a squad of them paid their
regards to the principal stores in
Kensington and Knights Bridge
districts, and what they did to
the windows there was a-plenty.
Thirty of them were arrested.
On the way to the Jail, they sang
loudly and cheerfully, and made
promises as to what they would
do other windows when they got
out.
One excited suffragette show
ed her disapproval of the govern
ment this morning by trying to
set fire to the general postofice.
She threw a bag of burning, oiled
shavings into the postofice, and
if she hadn't been seen there
probably wouldn't be any postof-
flee worth talking about by this
time.
This afternoon, a suffragette,
armed with hammer, started
out on a gay tour around the
house of lords, smashing win
dows. She made holes of seven
of them before the indignant Gus
todian of the building overpow-
cred her.
A little later bands of suffra-
gettes visited the homes of Sir
Robert Loreburn, Lord High
Chancellor; the Earl of Crewe,
secretary of state for the colon
les, and Joseph A. Pease, chancel-
1or of the duchy of Manchester.
1t will cost fortune to replace
the windows they broke.
Tonight the sufragettes have
