this way. II the merchant could only
have taken the salesman's place, the

made the various awards. kept the
Rathenau medal TO the last. When
Mrs. Edison stepped up 10 receive it
she was greeted by a storm of ap-
plause from the well-filled hall.
The Rathenau medal was placed at
the disposal of the American Museum
of Safety last summer by the Allge-
meine Electricitaets Gesellschaft, of
Berlin. to be awarded annually for
the best device or. process in the cleo
trical industry for safeguarding the
life and health of workers.
Mr. Edison's invention has wider
scope than its use merely in mines.
1t is in effect the invention of a
storage battery, locked and compact.
which can be used without fear of
the escape of a spark in mines, tun-
nels, work under water, in factories
where explosives are made, in pow
der magazines and in places where
explosive gases are generated or in
use. The Rathenau medal was origt-
nally presented with the Fluctuations

of Berlin, the man who introduced
electric lighting into Germany One
medal is to be struck each year from
the original die for the museum to
award. DR.. Rathenau. who is a
close personal friend of Edison's,
sent cable message to the museum
congratulating it on it's choice of a
recipient for the medal.

Equal Suffrage
Up in Commons


LONDON, Jan. 24.-The critical
stage was reached this afternoon in
the forty-hve years struggle to OBJ
tain votes for women, struggle
which was started in the House OF
Commons by John Stuart Mill in
1867
Alfred Lyttleton Immediately after
"uuestion time" moved the amend
ment to eliminate the word male
from the franchise reform bill The
movers arguments were along fa-
mil,ar lines. He urged that the trend
OF. recent legislation was to call wom-
en- into the counsels of the nation.
Already, he said, women had been
called to assist in numerous depart
ments.
Lewis Harcourt, secretary of state
for the colonies, who has not forgot
ten the attempt made some months
ago by the suffragettes to burn down
his ancestral home at Nuneham Park,
made a bitter assault-on woman suf-
frage and on his colleagues in the
cabinet. Sir Edward Grey and David
