WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Odessa
was bombardcd last night and Amer
lean property was destroyed, accord
ing to a State Department dispatch
from the Petrograd Charge today
This information was based on a
report from the American Consul at,
Odessa. The amount OF property de-
stroyed was not stated. 1t was as
sumed in official circles here that the
bombardment was done by the Turks.
The message announcing the bom-
bardment was dated at Betrograd at
! o'clock last night, and indicated that
the bombardment had occurred Weds
nesday night. There was nothing
about the message, however, to show
whether any notice of bombardment
had been given in advance.
Because OF the destruction of
American property this Government
today made inquiry concerning the
subject OF previous notice. In case
OF movable goods damages might be
recovered, provided no notice had
been given. Recovery of damages,
however, in any event is admittedly q
difficult proposition. That the situ>I
ton, as far as this Government ID
concerned, would not go further than
to seek monetary reparation was the
belief here

An interest audience attended the
lecture on women's suffrage given

Mrs. Harley Thomas, of White Lake.
This was the first appearance of Mrs.

she made q most favorable impress

listeners while she made her plea
for universal suffrage. ~ i
The meeting vas presided over by

the accompaniment.
Mrs. Thomas introduced by Mrs.
Myra Pepper. Weller, vice president
of the league. Mrs. Thomas began
her SSaddress by recittng the status of
the women III The. state where sufs
frage is extant. Among other rea-
sons given, Mrs. Thomas ENLARGED
upon the property laws in South Da-
kota, as we'll as the laws relating to
the control of children. So
The speaker used decided terms in
considering the necessity for women
taking part in civic reforms of the
day, along lines of sanitation. by

direction of the young. The fact that
times have changed. that the former
duties of women such as the manu-

Marble Windows.

Remarkably beautiful effects are Sc
cured by the use Of marble as a
means of transmitting light instead OF
glass. This has been accomplished
by a new process which has been de-
vised by an engineer Of Hamburg. w.
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates Of marble no more than three
millimeters in thickness and for the
use designated it is available up to
20 millimeters thick. The suitability
of marble for this purpose was real
lied some time ago, but the fhculty
encountered was that of securing the
marble in slabs of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit OF the passage Of
a greater amount Of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time i'm.
parts to the rays a much pleasanter
color. Most opal glass imparts to the
light an undesirable greenish tinge,
while the light which passes through
the marble has a reddish violet which
is much pleasanter. After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
thickness it is subjected to an INNER
sion in oil under high pressure, and
the effects secured in this manner are
said the superior to those of stained
glass.

story:
"Once upon a time, began. little
hole was born; and 1t looked around
to see where it should take up its
abode.
'It first decided on a window, but a
man came straightway and put in q
new pane. 1t next choose a chair seat.
but the housewife sent for Gamer.
and in jiffy a new seat was put in
the chair. The hole now selected a

pleased that 1t began to tear the rat

crazed with fright, had Just time to
escape. 1t threw itself, more dead
than alive, into the first thing that
came to hand. which happened to be
the sock of a suffragists husband.
There. at least. the hole seems to
have found a real home. Its peace

ginning, six months ago."
