dered along ahead Of the horse drawn
apparatus. bells changed and sirens blew
and the crowd cheered. II was a
thrilling sight. &0ld the oper<ors Of the
cameras said that the films would be
perfect
But there was more Of realism in
the pictures taken OF the police de-
partment Bobby Waite, of the Acad-
envy Of Music, acted as prisoner, and
made such a good getaway that Bicycle

Declares Peoples Desire For Better
Living Makes Them Spend Beyond
Means

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
There is one expression used nova
days that should be studied by every
body. I refer TO the term. Giving be-
yond our means" All over the country
there is the same complaint namely,
that people are trying to have the use
"f more things than they have the
money to pay for
Department stores. installment houses
AMI various agencies are doing all they
can to induce people to live up to or
beyond their incomes. In every State
millions of dollars are yearly lost and
thousands of country stores have to
consider the credit losses of their busi-
ness serious thing
The lesson to be learned from 1t is
this: That we do not lack facilities for
doing business, nor the products to deal
In or exchange. but We do lack a suffi-
cient volume of money to do the best
business, or satisfactorily exchange our
products. and in consequence We see
the evidence on every hand, where peo-
pie are living beyond their means'' in
the sense that they are trying to have
a decent use Of things that are so
plentiful. while money is so scarce in
comparison. r. LODGE.

Woman Asks Heflin TO Help Women
Who Support Selves.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
J. Thomas Heflin. of Alabama. in his
speech at Falls Church. Va, anent the
much discussed question Of suffrage
struck the keynote of the situation OF
today when he said, "As has been said
a million tunes, the place of woman is
at home-by the fireside. and in the
bosom of her family" Who is there TO
deny this? Not ], For | would make
that assertion reach the million and
one mark, and say it is true.
Buff all women who heartily agree
with Mr. Hefiin would carry out their
inclinations; drop their masculine tasks
throw duty to the winds, tell those who
were depending upon them that they
were tired OF leading a mans life and
doing mans work. and henceforth
were going TO be feminine because "a
woman is loved for her femininity,'

could additions be made to the aims
houses of the country fast enough to
accommodate the army Of would-be- wo-
manly women who are compelled
through circumstances. not choice, TO
lead a mans life with the exception
of casting this much talked Of vote?
Does the honorable gentleman from
Alabama think that to give woman
the right to vote on questions that will
help better her own condition would
make her any more masculine? All
honor to the women who not only sup
port themselves, but often an aged
father or mother. or who help educate
their young brothers and sisters and
prepare for the battles yet to come.
Shouldn't such women, even though
they should dare to want that one ex-
ira masculine qualification-the power
to vote-haye the admiration instead OF
the sneers and jeers Of the stronger
sex? ..s
Mr.. Hehin divides the human race into
two classes-"the woman who IL to look
after the home;" ''the man who is to
build and furnish that home and do
the voting for both" Where will he
class the woman who does look after
and make the home which she has also
bought and furnished?
There is only one solution to this
complicated situation that occurs to me,
and that is TO have Mr.. Hefiin introduce
bill in Congress to create a fund for
the support Of all these much abused,
misjudged women. who are unfortunate
enough to be the head Of the family
but who would like nothing better than
to stay in that home that she loves
and yearns for and give up the unequal
struggle between a woman without a
vote and man with one II ]. Thomas
Heffin could succeed in passing such
a bill he would probably occupy a more
enviabIe position in the hearts of these
terrible 81 suffragists than he does at

Merits of the JOnes.W0rks Bill.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The merits of the Jones-Works bill
are on every tongue looking for better
conditions.
The avowed purpose of the Jones'
Works bill is in support of sober ciu-
Zenship that will annul the cause that
creates riots and crime wherever that
cause exists about us.
The bill is advocated by the FRIENDS
of the home for the safety of the boys
and girls growing into citizenship To-Day
as our future rulers.
, The passage of the Jones-Works bill
will curtail the liquor influence, elim-
nate the legal liquor business, ana sNe
a fuller lease of protection to the chill
dren as they journey to and from tnelr
schools and their homes in their physical
and moral growth as citizens
las provisions will strengthen the
Christian influence in the church anu
in the school and reflect the views Lead
ing to better conditions for our boys
and girls and for all people.
The passage of this bill will secure
marked relief from the temptations TO
our boys and girls by closing the dram
shop, with which they now are proush'
into daily contact.
Every saloon contributes its share OIL
disorder wherever il exists.
Churches and schools and saloons
have no right in the same square:
The church and the school have pri-
ority of right in nature and are entitled
to their place as true reformers.
Whatever works against morality ana
reformation has no right to exist much
less to face or the same square In any
civilized community where liability OF
contact is imminent.
The best evidence of the purgatiNe
effect Of the passage OF the Jones'
Works bill is the fury with which the
bill is attacked by the liquor men them
selves.
Would they lay awake nights to de-
wise plans against the bill II 1t was IN
their favor? The scant pattern of pro-
lection afforded on the street Where
schooIhouse and saloon face on the same
square are eloquent reminders OF man!
