their duties in excluding Mrs Pankhurst
trrih1lno


The department of labor. acting under
instructions from the President, speedily
reversed the action of the immigration
authorities here in excluding Mrs. rank
hurst. AS The Tribune pointed out on
Sunday, the officials of this port nave,
construed the moral turpitude' clause
of the immigration law with unintelligent
rigor. the consequence being that in ali
the most important test cases affecting,
casual visitors they have had 10 be re-
versed either by the head of the depart
ment at Washington or by the federal
courts.
1t was a straining of the letter of the
law to shut Mrs. Panishurst out-a point
which President Wilson quickly fecog-

liberal Interpretation which we adyocat-
ed has been sustained. Mrs. Pankhurst
is under both moral and legal obligation
to conduct herself here discreetly. Many
Americans will want to hear and see
her, and she may learn much from con-
tact With American suffragists and their

His Song for Her Waking.

Ills dawn in the sky of the world,
tbs dawn in the sky OF my heart,
And earth is the bud of rose
Whose petals are trembling apart
So | come to your door in the dawn.
And | breathe YOU my life in a word
You would SMILE YOU would lean ftonl
your window, my queen,
II you heard-if YOU heard.
The air is all throbbing With fire,
And | am a pulse of the flame.
All breathless the universe beats
Like n heart that is tuned TO your
name,
As the stars in their courses last night
Kept time to each breath that you
drew.
But our passion is dumb-o, my love,
you would come
If you kuew-if you knew.
You would glow in the flush of the dawn
You glitter so coldy above;
You would lean like a rose to his cry
Who yearns to the lips of your love:
You would raise him who faints at your
feet
To height that his hope never dared;
You would warm the poor clod In Your
arms to q god.
Ii you eared-if you cared.

markable historical interest for the

history of 500 years since the first

course that there should be some
hunters who would resent being made
to pay a larger tax and who would
show this resentment by not coming
to Maine to hunt, but after they have
made their protest and satisfied their
feelings they will be back. The same
thing happened when the hunters tax
was first enacted. InGeed at that time,

SOME WONDERFUL ESCAPES

An acrobat, who performs on trap
eye attached to balloon, recently fell
a distance OF 1900 feet into the lake
of Zurich, just missing death by few
yards, for If he had not jumped from
his seat when he did he would have
been dashed to pieces on the rocky
shore of the lake. He escaped un-
hurt.
Several instances of people falling
from incredible heights and surviving
to tell the tale can be quoted. Al
Brighton, England, an actor, known as
Lieutenant Daring, who was playing
the part of a naval officer who is at
tackled by brigands in a moving pic
ture play, and who was supposed 10
slip over the ciiff-in reality, however
to stand on plank which had been
placed below the edge to make the
illusion complete-missed his footing
and fell ninety feet into the sea, es'
Gaping with sprained wrist.
An even more miraculous escape
after a fall over n cliff was that OF a
seven-year-old child who had been
gathering flowers on Culver cliff, neal
Sandown, Isle of Wight, who slipped
and fell 200 feet. She was only
slightly injured, bottle which sn'
carried being unbroken.
Often the merest accidents prevents
death. A Cardiff laborer some TIM

COPPER PENNIES ARE PURE

The copper cent is product OF
electricity. Almost pure copper Is
used to make this the only copper coin
issued in the country. This pure cop
per is secured by an electric process.
In the old days it was very expen-
sive process to refine copper ore. and
the resultant copper was far from be-
ing pure. Now this refining is done by
electricity, much the same way as
electroplating is accomplished. The
copper ore is placed in tank near the
positive plate of a battery and the
electric current turned on. The cop
per is rapidly broken up into minute
particles, which are carried through
the water by the passage of electricity
and deposited on the negative plate OF
the tank. The result is known as
"electrolytic copeer.' which is the pur-
est known in the metal industry.
