.R|NGL|NGS GIVE
JOY TO CR|PPlES

More than 5000 of Chicago's Grip
pies andI orphans laid their touseled
| heads on pillows last night to dream
OF whole armies of pretty lady riders
trapeze performers, strong men, elep-
hants, tigers, camels, monkeys, clowns
and what not, running in every direc-
ton and all chased by clown police
man. They must have dreamed
something of the sort, for yesterday
was their day at the circus. During
three happy hours the unfortunates of
the city laughed until their little sides
ached or stared wide.eyed with won
der as guests nf the Ringing Broth
ers. The Coliseum resembied one
vast nursery. Not vacant seat was
visible from floor to dome. Those who
attended the children said it was the
largest gathering of the kind ever seen
in Chicago. They made the most oi
the holidays. Not an act escaped them
though three big rings, the stages
the rigging and the hippodrome
track were peopled all the
time. Barring the clowns, of course,
the base ball elephants won the juve-
nile vote. PUT her over here en-
couraged one youngster as seven-ton
Nero of the ''jungle white sox"
swung the bat. "D'y'ever play one
old cat?" called another. The Ring
ling clowns never worked harder.
Their stunts seemed endless. But sud-
IDENTIFY all disappeared. A little later
the clown police patrol wagon came
galloping down the hippodrome track.
It was piled high with peanuts and
popcorn and was followed, in the
estimation of the children, by all the
clowns in creation. Filling their arms
with the goodies" the funmakers in
vaded every part of the Coliseum, dis
tributing bags and boxes as they
went among the eager youngsters.

Simon Schwartz, formerly resident
OF this city, is in Baraboo for short
stay and tells of a thrilling experience
be passed through during the recent
floods. He was a passenger in one of
the trains on the Big Four railroad in
southern Illinois when the Wabash
river was on rampage and states
that the train was compelled to stop
on account of the high water along the
right of way. Mr.. Schwartz states
that the train reached the top OF the
grade it was climbing, beyond the
reach of the water, and there for three
days and two nights the passengers
were compelled to remain until they
were finally conveyed to safety In
boats. While marooned in this way,
the passengers secured food from a
farm house that was situated on q
knoll out of danger.

Equality Association.
SUCCESS is PREDICTED

"On to Michigan" was the battle cry
raised yesterday at an enthusiastic
meeting of the Federal Woman's Equal
ity Association ir the red parlor of the

the Speaker; Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO. and a number of local suffragists
delivered addresses urging the women to
concentrate their efforts en- gaining the
ballot in Michigan. The suffrage amend
ment will be voted upon by the State
Legislature on April !.
Previous to reading her original poem,
entitled Here's to the Friends We
Love-" Mrs. Clark predicted that woman
suffrage would come in her own State of
Missouri by 1914, and that before another
Presidential election many new States
would be added to the list where women
enjoyed equal rights.
THE only argument which the anti
suffragists advance against woman suf-
frage,'' said Mrs. Clark, lis that we
can't carry gun and fight. and l am
not convinced that we can't fight We
are fighting for a cause now and I am
sure that We will win. No party or
candidate can AFFORD to ignore the claims
of three million voters and denounce
woman suffrage"

Colorado and urged the women of the
country to concentrate their efforts on

tinue until the end of the world" said
he. "Much needed legislation in many
States will never be enacted until after

living WAGE" SOUGHT
BY 1000 GIRL STRIKERS
South Side Mill Workers of Pittsburg
Plead for Enough Money to
"Stay Straight."

Pittsburg, Pa, March 13-Eight hun
dred girls Joined the strikers to-day at
the South Side mills. There are 1000 out
now. Two hundred remained at work
We want to live-and be good" is the
message the girls sent to the mill owners
to-day. This plea concludes the requests
the girls make for an increase of cents
a thousand on threading bolts. The girls
say few of them make more than $3.50 a
week, and some only II cents a day. This,
they say. Is not enough to enable a girl
to live decently. The strikers have no
leader. They are not organized. Most Of
them are Slavs and Poles. Mary Dravak,
one of the most intelligent of the strikers,
addressed the communication to the COM
pany. She told why the women had re-
volted

ten years ago and am not now connected

talked with the president of the company
over the telephone and he informs me
that the girls on strike earn from a
minimum of .3S per day up to SOS, and
that the published statements about the
conditions under which they work are
absolutely untrue. In fact, / know so
little about the works that I was not
