NESTING Of suffraaIsts.

Tha state suffrage convention,
which opened In Madison, listened to
tho address of Mrs. H. M. Youmans,
Waukesha, president, and variety OF
papers on many phases OF the SUI
frage problem.
The speakers urged the Importance
of federal amendment and increased
educational work, to induce President
Youmans to accept reelection. She
was offered a secretary to tighten her
work.
The resolution for the amendment
to the constitution was presented by
Rev. Olympia Brown Of Racine, in her
address On "The National Question, y
in which she said that an amendment
was the easiest way and the most Sc
cure method of securing the ballot for
women in all the states.
A resolution was adopted that ev-
cry party be asked to put suffrage
plank in it's platform.
Mrs. Henry M: Youmans, president,
in her address, said:
AT the last election on woman suf-
polled $4,000 votes. The opposition
polled 10000 more than we did, so
that, at that time, we needed nearly
$4,000 more votes than we received
to win. When our next election on
woman suffrage rolls around, some OF
our friends will have passed away;
possibly some will have had the bad
taste to change their minds; the pop
ulation OF the state will have in
creased. We shall have to convert
$4,000 or 10000 more men in Wis
consin to a belief In our cause before
we women of Wisconsin can win the
ballot.
1--WE have our task then laid
down for us here in Wisconsin-the
education of $4,000 or 10000 men,
and as many or more women. Who is
to conduct this education? You and
/. How. By all the hundred ways
known to the ingenuity Of women
We cannot go into details.
"In general, we know we must keep
the question constantly before the
public mind-get the public used to
the idea"

PARIS CLOCK TICKS HEARD
Transmitted by Radio Signals From

This Country.

Washington, Nov. 24.--Three weeks
of patient experimentation culminat-
ed in success when the United States
naval observatory here heard the
beats of the Paris observatory clock
as transmitted by radio signals from
the Eiffel tower TO the great naval
radio station at Arlington. The
beats were compared with those of
the Washington clock for some min.

The American and French COM
missioners who are conducting these
experiments to determine the differ

Washington and the velocity of
propagation of radio signals through
space, we're greatly encouraged by
their success. They announced that

spheric conditions are best for work
Is now coming On and that their work
will proceed as planned.

Honor System at Waupun.

That the honor system" adopted
by Warden Edward Allen of the Joliet
Illinois) state penitehtiary has been
in use in Wisconsin for more than a
year was the statement in an inter
view by Warden Woodward of the
Waupun prison. Warden Woodward,
before his appointment by Governor
McGovern to the head of the Wau-
pun prison occupied a Methodist
Episcopal pulpit, and probably enjoys
the distinction of being the only par
son warden" in the Ueited States.
Woodward said that the honor
system" as applied to road camps had
not been tried out in Wisconsin, but
that it might be attempted during the
next summer.
I'VE have had no experience with
the honor system as applied to road
work of convicts,' said Warden Wood
ward We may try that out next
year, If any county asks for convict
labor l expect to visit convict road
camps in other states within the next
few weeks and get better under
standing of the methods.
However, the honor system has
been used for long time along other
lines in the Wisconsin prison. Since
July, 1912, TRUSTEES have been sent to
the prison farm, a distance Of more
than a mile, without guards.

Needed British Warships.

London, Nov. 24.-Lord Cowdray
who has large oil, railway and other
concessions in Mexico, said in an in
terview that he had learned with
great interest from the newspapers
that a British warship had been or
dered to the Puerto, Mexico, terminus
of Tehauntepec railway, which he
owns, because that line is running.
The Mexican government lines which
join it have been cut and therefore
several thousands of employees for
whom he is responsible could only be
aided by a warship.

Mark Twain's Occupation, According
to Little Daughter, Would Have
Been Brief

Mark Twain. about the time that he
was working hard upon one of the
earlier books that brought him fame,
sailed for a tour of Europe with his
family.
He kept up his writing on shipboard
and only left it at intervals for brief
recreation.
One day an approaching storm drove
him inside the cabin and he went
back to work, leaving word with his
daughter, then very little girl, to ex-
plain his absence.
eff they ask for me-" he said to her,
"say that 1 won't be LONG, am only
going to write an anecdote."
A little later the child was accosted
by a passenger.

the inquiry.
"He won't be long," lisped the child.
"He saith he it'll only going to ride a
nanny-goat."

PICK Architects for Meet.

PICK Architects Tor Meet.
The Wisconsin chapter of the Amer
lean Institute OF Architects will send
A. C. Eschweiler, Hugh Guthrie and
Henry Rotier as delegates to the an
nual convention to be held in New
Orleans, December 2, 3, and 4. Al
ternates chosen are William H.
Schuchardt, Armand Koch and Peter
Brust
This convention will be the most
important to the people outside the
profession Of any that has been held,
according to a local architect, who is
authority for The statement that the
status Of the government fine arts is
to be discussed. He said that the
profession at large is of the opinion
that the standard Of the government
architecture has fallen far below that
of the best private work in the coun-
try and it will be the endeavor of the
institute to correct this state of af
fairs.
Architects say that since the repeal
of the Tarsney act under which the
government was permitted to employ
the best architectural talent of the
country and since the resignation of
James Knox Taylor, formerly super
vising architect Of the treasury de-
partment, government standards have
sadly deteriorated.
The prospective convention is the
forty-seventh annual meeting.
Decrease in Game Law Violation.
An increasing respect for the game
laws is evident in the records of ar

Warden /. H. Boomer, who is super
vising the wardens in northern Wis
consin, has reported the arrest this
week Of Charles Waite, Ben Butler
and A A. Crenbell of Sawyer county;
George Austin, John and Bert Till and
Bert Ward OF Douglas county, for VIC
lations of the deer hunting laws.

Bear Batting In OIden Days.

So popular was bull batting in olden
DAYS in England that riots followed
the attempt to suppress it in the large
towns. Bear batting was more popular
still, if that could be. In various
places, Liverpool, especially, it made
part of the festivities at the election
of the mayor, being held before his
worship started for church. Ladies
commonly attended in great numbers.
There was a famous bear at Liver
pool which showed such grand sport
in 1882 that certain fair admirers pre-
scented it with garland, decked 1t
with ribbons and carried it to the the
alter, where q special entertainment
had been commanded" which bruin
sat out in the front of their box. But

there is no end Enthusiastic lovers
of Shakespeare read with interest the

The Earth's Journey.

Our worlds journey in space is a
long one. if we are to accept the con-
illusions of DIR. Turner of the Univer-
sity observatory of Oxford and Profess
sor III. C. Plummer, royal astronomer
Of Ireland. Recent astronomical work
suggests that the sun and its planets
form a single unit in a vast system,
the stars in which, though separated
by enormous distances. have a COM
mon center of gravity, and in response
to gravitation all move in unison like
a stupendous machine. The paths of
these stars, instead of being nearly
circular, like those of the planets
around the sun, are much like the oscil-
lations of a pendulum. The calcula-
lions show that on this elongated
course our sun must travel 400,000,O00
years before completing revolution
and that it passed near the center less
than a million, perhaps not more than
100000, years ago and is now on the
outward stretch.
