Mrs. Wyman's Argument

Mrs. Wymau OF Manchester head
OF the State suffrage organization,
was called to the platform after Ma
yor Burke had closed his remarks In
a speech so clear and comprehensive
that il would have done credit to a
lawyer, Mrs. Wyman stated the sui
frage cause from the standpoint OF a
resident OF Vermont. She frankly con
coded that owing to the fact that a
constitutional change is necessary in
this State before a bill permitting
women to vote in State elections can
be passed, the Vermont Legislature
cannot possibly confer suffrage on
the women OF this State sooner than
1923. She explained, however, that a
bill to permit women to vote in town
and city elections might be passed
as soon as the Legislature could be
brought to agree TO il. She also call
ed attention TO the chance that COM
plete suffrage in Vermont might
come at any time by an amendment
of the national constitution provided
such an amendment could pass Con
gress and be ratified by thirty.six
States.
Mrs. Wyman's speech was particu-
larly effective in the part in which
she explained the shortcomings and
injustice of certain of our laws reat-
ing to married women, particularly
those which give the father the com
plete ownership and disposition of
the child.
She declared fatty that it was for
the home that women wanted the bal
lot, not in order to escape from the
home. She laid il down also that won
an will never evolve out of her natur-
al sphere of mother and home-keepec

ord Of the supreme court OF the Dis
triol of Columbia.
Judge Miles's letter was very
clear argument in favor of women S
suffrage. In the course of his letter
he said The right to vote is an in
herent right, dependent upon no con-
dtion. or it is no right at ALL and
therefore argument that women do
rot want it, and would not use it If
they had it is specious and not sound
If not used, like the sentinel upon
the tower, its influence is felt by him
whose duties fall within its range.
The union OF the councils of men and
women will make a perfect whole,
from which must come harmony in
the law as affecting both; and the
right is coming and soon will be With
us in Vermont"

TreeIess Falkland Islands.

There are no trees in the Falkland
islands. consequently the country pre-
sents a bleak appearance. In the
autumn the long grass. turning some
what grayish. imparts disagreeable
and monotonous aspect TO the hillside.
On the return OF spring the ranchers
used TO have a glorious time of II in
literally setting the camp on fire. This
was done by simply striking a match
on the saddle pommel and casting it
into the midst Of the withered grass.
No coaxing was needed, as the mate
rial was withered and dry as finder.
Presently the mountain side would be
fringed with one long line of raging
flames and curling smoke. Thus was
the pasture renewed. Although no
trees grow in these islands. there is
ample evidence of the land having once
been thickly wooded.-Chambers' Jour
nal

all the gentlemen twice. and each man
had been equally enterprising. Mary
Stuart danced the Volta" though

ANCIENT MEDICAL HUM0R.
Specimens From the Rome of Nearly
Twenty Centuries AGO.

WcNtJ centuries ago.
That there was no lack of medical
humor in the classic days of Rome is
made sure by the ancient epigrams of
Martial Of nearly 1000 years ago. The
London Lancet shows that the poet
bore a grudse against the specialists
Of Ills day. Tor 1t seems they had this
variety of practitioners then and pokes
fun at the oculiSts and at the surgeons
who INDUCED in clinical teaching. OF
the latter he has n patient complain In
good Latin. and this complaint has
been made over into current English:
! la ill. but soon Symmac hus sought me
With a class Of hundred young men,
Whose hundreds cold paws have brought
me
The fever / lacked till then.
The journal of the American Medi-
cal association calling attention to the
medical ways of the ancient city notes
that diseases due to luxurious habits
had multiplied greatly in Rome What
was called gout-that is. pains and
aches in joints and muscles and the
vague conditions that we now call
rheumatiSm--had also greatly increas-
ed. Pliny, who was an older con
temporary of Martial, says, scout used
TO he an extremely rare disease. not
in the times of our fathers and grand
fathers only, but even. within my own
memory" Although the equity were
usually rich and of luxurious habits.
some of them evidently We're not good
pay. An evidence of this is thus given:
Diodorus. while he sues in court.
ON equity feet can stand.
But when the lawyers bill is brought
The govt sets fast his hand.

RINGS OF AIR.
How to Blow Out a Lighted Candle
Twelve Feet Away.

How 10 Blow Out lt9htco Janus
Twelve Feet Away.
The distance from which an average
man can blow OUT candle rarely ex-
cce,ls three feet. m he o. an adept at
blowing smoke rings, however, can
die may be eNiinguished at twelve feet.
OF course the smoke isn't necessary.
IN ordinary air ring will DO and has
the added advantage Of being invisible.
Simply pucker the mouth as You would
90 blow a smoke ring aud eNpel air in
a quick. sharp manner IL takes n
good deal Of practice 10 do IL.
An easier way 20 show the effect II
one is doubtful is 10 place a sheet of
cloth or canvas over the open side OF
box otherwise closed. making a
small. round hole in another side.
Then tap in sharp manner on the
canvas and invisible air rings win be
produced II the hole is pointed at a
persons face and the rings are made
he will feel them as they strike his
face. Only a few trials are necessary
TO extingush candle nc twelve feet.
To render the rings fvisible smudge
may be burned in the box, or a small
dish Of ammonia may be placed side
by side with a small dish Of hydro
chlorc acid. the combined fumes Of
these liquids making a dense smoke.
The explanation why one can put out
the candle at twelve feet is that the
energy Of expulsion is conserved and
practically all retained in the smoke
ring. while simple blowing has TO
set in motion whole stream Of air
and is therefore wasteful. 49, Chicago
