Raker Epfsrammatic
In His Discussion of
The Suffrage Problem

The question of woman suffrage
should be brought before q spe.
cial committee because of the
Importance of the subject.
Women are among the earliest to
vote on election day in my State
and perfect order Is maintained
about the polling places.
Suffrage has come to stay, not
only in California, but in all
sections Of the United States.
In two years, at the latest, women
will vote in every State in the
Union.
cannot see any reason why one
half of the intelligence and abiI.
ity in our country should be de-
prfyed of the vote.
Women OF California go to the
polls and vote, then go home and
attend to their business.
The father holds the baby while
mother votes, then mother holds
1t while father votes.
The dinners are as well cooked,
the fathers eat them with the
same relish, and the babies are
as fat as before California
women had the right to vote.

TWO BIGGEST BABIES

Jumbo and Jumbina, Young EIe-

ousy of Old Dunk.

Babies are always cute whether
! they are little humans with red button
noses or baby pigs with beady eyes and
kinky tails, or baby chicks all covered
with down. but Washington is just now
the pOssessor of the two biggest babies
that ever crossed the District line. and
their combined weight is 200 pounds,
Y hich is more than a ton of cuteness.
Perhaps it should be stated that the
babies and their baggage aggregate that
much. for you see they are baby ele-
plants and they brought their trunks
along.
Jumbo is the younger and the big
ger. He is a cunning little mite that
doesn't weigh but $500 pounds and is
only two years old. though his leathery
wrinkled usage and piercing eyes give
him the appearance of being the POSSES
sor of all the wisdom of the East.
His Sister Is Slender.
Jumbina. his sister. is three years old.
but well aware that slim figures are
now fashionable. she has trained down
to 100 pounds, which for a three-year-
old pachyderm, is all that even the
most exacting fashion could desire.
