They thought l wouldn't last &c

satisfied. l have done nothing for two
years except ride fast. In another six

the whole 20 rounds and l was not hurt.
The cut over my eye is only one reopen
ed: it was received in training. l believe
had the best of practically every round.
THE blow that really hurt was one on
my nose and for this Johnson was warn

son gave me. l shall return to my camp
and train for another fight. My manager

ident Marshall. pressed to take more
definite stand on the question, nalVely
animated that his wife would not let
him: and Sec. Bryan, waylaid by an
enthusiastic suffra gist as he was pass
ing through the CapitoPs corridors TO
discuss affairs of state with Senate
committee, took refuge in an elevator.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, president
of the National Woman's Suffrage AS
ISOLATION; Jane Adams of Chicago,
and Mrs. Desha Breckenridge of Ken
lucky, vice presidents. pleaded their
cause TO both Vice President Marshall
and Speaker Clark.
Mrs. Breckenridge, a granddaughter
of Henry Clay, said she hoped the
Vice President would help the woman
suffrage cause. The Vice President in
terupted.
I'VE got to remember my wife,, he
said. and | don't want to get sepa-
rated from her"
This remark was interpreted by the
Suffragists to mean that Mrs. Mar
shall is opposed to the movement.
Asks Action by Congress
Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Chicago
said the the delegation wanted their
petitions sent to the senators by mes
sengers.
Il will do that for you" said the
Vice President and calling pages he
ordered the petitions be distributed.
DR.. Shaw told both the Vice Pres
ident and the Speaker there was de-
mand for woman suffrage throughout
the United States.
The method of securing universal
suffrage, state by state, is too slow,
she said, IAN dunless we can get Con-
gress to encourage the movement IL
will beg realty delayed Therefore we
are demanding that Congress shall
pass some form of law. We are not
STIMULATING what the law shall be, but
we desire some law that will give
the states the support of Congress-.
Miss Adams pointed out that in
Chicago there were municipal questions
of Importance on which women voted
More than one-third of those ell
gible to vote" she said, have exer-
cised that privilege"
Clark Commits Himself
You are going at this thing in the
right way" Speaker Clark told the
suffragists. IF you women are going
to run the world l hope you will i'm
prove on the efforts of the men.
MY own judgment is that you can
get results quicker through the States.
At the rate you are going now 1t looks
to me as if you might get it in three
four or five years.
My own position, and I might as
we'll make that clear to you now, be-
cause have got to do it sometime, is
that | think women should vote. When
ever it is submitted in Missouri am
going to vote for it"
Miss Genevieve Clark, the Speakers

Records of Business Research
Bureau of Harvard School
Show That Branch of Trade
Has the Lead
SYSTEMATIC STUDY
SEEKING A REMEDY
Cooperation with Grocers Along
Lines of Recent Investigation
Into Retail Shoe Trade of the
United States

Cambridge, Mass. June 2s.-More
failures occur in the retail grocery
trade. according to the business re-
search bureau of the Harvard School
of Business Administration than in
any other line of business. One
fourth of all the commercial failures
of 1913 were in that trade. Because
of this fact the bureau, it was an
nounced today has begun a systematic
study of the trade in cooperation with
the grocers themselves, along the
lines of work by student researchers
some time ago in the retail shoe trade
In that investigation, the bureau es-
tablished a uniform system of &C
counting, which has been adopted by
many dealers who make regular con-
fidential reports to the bureau of their
figures under 20 headings of expense
and profit. This study is now being
extended to the marketing of shoes by
wholesalers and manufacturers.
In many respects the research work
parallels that done by the Credit As
sociations and so-called business doc
tors, who have made systematic
study of retail mana gement with a
view to increasing the retailers credit
through added profit.
Opportunity for student work in the
grocery trade was disclosed by some
preliminary Investigations by instruc-
tors and second year students at the
school. A student who had examined
the books of an apparently prosper
Gus firm found that the business was
being conducted at a less-unknown TO
the proprietor, who had to be con-
WINGED of the real situation.
The purpose of these studies is to
train students and obtain material for
use in teaching.

nand and his wife, the Duchess of Ho-
henberg. The Austrian ambassador left
the race course Immediately the news
was received.
From a sporting point of view the race
was of unusual interest. Never since
1854 had the winners of the English and
French Derbys and the Prix de Diane
competed for the blue ribbon of the
French turf. The brilliant records of the
entries and the consequent short odds
against them made the aggregate betting
on the race this year somewhat smaller
than that of last year. The machine to-
day took in $3sS,S24 as against sSss,Ooo last
year
Sardanaple holds the record for having
won as three-year-old colt the sum of
s1673O5.
