Militant
SUFFRAGE SISTERS
Methods of English Women
Looked Upon With
Favor Here.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Shivers
of apprehension ran up and down the
spines of government officials and
members of Congress today, when it
was learned that the American
Woman Suffragists, whose national
headquarters are here, do not look
with entire disfavor upon the mill
tant methods employed by their sis
ter suffragettes in England against
the officials of the crown and the
members of parliament. Mrs. Clara
Bewick Colby, one of the prominent
suffragist leaders. told a crowded
meeting of the Federal Women's
Equality Association that the win
dow smashing, police-fighting Eng
lish suffragists had made possible the
advancement of the cause in the
United States.
1.-The English women have been
driven to their militant methods, and
we should not blame them, said Mrs
Colby. "They always stop at the
actual taking of life, and, while L be5
lieve in peace and would not advo-
cate the militant methods for the
United States, We must realize that
the work done in England has had
the effect in America"
The Rev. Olympia Brown, of Wis
consin. president of the association,
does not hold the same view as Mrs.
Colby. She blames the extreme suf-
fragists fer the recent defeat of
woman suffrage in Wisconsin.
Proposals of marriage are being re-
ceived in almost every mail by two
pretty stenographers at the national
headquarters, as the result of the
publication of a photo of the two
young women, showing them clad in
the marching costume adopted for
use in the parade of March 3. None
of the proposals has been answered,
however, the young women declaring
they are welded to the 'cause."

NEED MORE MONEY
FOR DENTAL CLINIC
Bill Permitting Appropriation
to Exceed SIS, 900 to Be
Acted On.

The need for a larger appropriation
for the maintenance of the free dem
tai clinic, and the introduction of a
bill in the Legislature to provide this,
were discussed by the justices and
officers of the Newark Free Dental
Clinic at an informal dinner last
night at the Essex Club, which was
given by DIR. George F. Reeve, presi-
dent of the clinic.
Under the present act the city is
not allowed to appropriate more than
$4,000 annually for such work, and
the bill which will be introduced will
make it possible, but not mandatory,
to appropriate a greater amount, the
maximum of which has not been de-
cided upon 1t was suggested that
the miXimum be $4,000, but it was
pointed out that should the work in
crease it would be necessary to go
before the Legislature again. 1t was
therefore decided that the bill should
not mention any figure.
Another feature of the bill will
place the age limit of patients of the
free clinic at 16 years. it being the
opinion of the members that persons
older than that should be able to
pay for such treatment.
City Counsel James r. Nugent and
Alderman Patrick c. O'Brien, chair
man of the Common Council finance
committee, were present and had the
bill and the workings of the clinic
explained to them.
The measure will probably come
before the weekly legislative confer
ence in Mayor Haussling's office ON
next Monday, and after receiving the
sanction of that body it will be in
troduced by one of the members of
the Essex delegation in the Assem-
bly,,
DR.. Wentworth Holmes reviewed
the work of the clinic and DR. Her
bert L. Wheeler, who has charge OF
the oral hygiene departments of the
Allied Hospitals of New York, and
who is president of the First District
Dental Society of the State of New
York, explained his work in connec-
ton with New York hospital clinics.
Rabbi Solomon Foster was another
speaker.

Physical Director Declares Students Are the Heathest and
Best Proportoned of Any CoegePoints to Records as
Proof of Her Assertion

SEATTLE. Wash. Feb 7.-Girls in
the University of Washington are
healthier and better proportioned
than those in any other college in the
country.
Never mind who says so. Figures
prove it.
OF course Miss Jessie Merrick, the
women's physical director at the
u. of w, thinks so, and sincerely
hopes so. But modesty prevents her
giving voice to the fact.
THE most perfect feminine figure, "
said Miss Merrick, depends on the
person who does the Judging l know
many girls whom l consider beauti-
fully proportioned. but that Is just
my idea.
Figures, statistics and averages
count for nothing continued the
supervisor of COED health, IF clay
model should be made according to
the average measurements of all uni
versity girls, it would be the funniest
looking contortion act off the stage.
Men are most interested in the
height and weight of girls. Women
are concerned with girth measure
ments. Neither have any bearing on
the physical condition of the indi-
vidual That which counts is the
lung capacity and the size of the
muscles"
The breathing space E The average
university girl is 1923 cubic cent?
meters. This is two-hundredths of a
centimeter greater than the average
University of Oregon girls. That's
not much of a margin. However, the
Washington maiden can expand her
peek-a boo eight centimeters more
than the average girl who attends the
University of Michigan.
The average Washington girl
weighs 40 pounds and is feet >
inches tall.
This compares very favorably with
Annette Kellerman, the noted "mer-
maid" who weighs 126 pounds and
poses at height of feet 4, and
Annette is called the perfect
woman"

CONGRESSMAN FLAYS
SHERMAN TRUST LAW

BOSTON, Feb. THE sherman

probably will continue to be crises
in the stock market after each new

uel w. Mccall said at the annual
meeting of Williams College alumni
here. There is a general tendency
at the present time to override the
laws of nature with statute laws, -
the congressman added.

the University of Washington is Miss
Lovina Wilson. She registers 1870
pounds and is feet inches Her
home is in Olympia. Miss Wilson,
her friends claim. has Annette look
ing like Dr. Mary Walker when it
comes to a question of physical per-
lection.
Its not my fault" Miss Wilson
will tell you demurely. perhaps my
interest in athletics has done it,
Miss Lovina Wilson has played on
four varsity teams, baseball, basket
ball. hockey and tennis. She is en-
titled to wear the cherished W.
This is really an honor, too, because
only ten out of the 800 or more girls
at the university have this privilege.
Miss Wilson possesses what is
thought at the university to be the
most eomely figure.
