Monday CI,autauqua

The Hoosier Male Qaartetle
gave the prelude yesterday al
ternoon and a full concert last
night, which vas very much
emf oyed by all present. Each
member of the quartette is a
sololst and did good work and
their ensemble numbers were
especially good.
Their repertoire included
operate, comic, classical, popu-
lar, sentimental and patriotic
numbers.
The lecture of the afternoon
was by Miss Fola LaFollette on
"The Democracy of Woman
Suffrage" Miss LaFollette is
the daughter of Senator Robert
NJ. LaFollette of Wisconsin.
She possesses a persuasive per-
sonality and a splendidiy train
ed voice.
She brought forth several
cry good arguments in favor
of Womans Suffrage and an
swered several questions put
forth by the Anti Suffrage side.
For instance, would the men
all agree for just the rich men
to make all the laws for rich
and poor alike, or would they
permit the poor men to make
the laws?
Home is not mothers mono
poly but partnership owned
by mother and father. For
centuries home meant the in
side of four walls and the cell
ing, but since carding, weaving
etc has been taken out of the
home and placed in factories,
home has grown to mean the
community. Therefore woman
interests have gone outside the
four walls, for she must take
an interest i'm the milk and va
ter supply and other things
pertaining to home life.
For centuries woman's con-
tribnfinn to the home was i'm
service, but that is no longer
possible SO she must go to the
office or factory and then make
her contribution in dollars, in
order that the family may en-.
JOY the things worth while
There is one woman out of eve
ry five, who earns her own liv-
ing wholly or in part.
La speaking of states grant
ing women the right to vote,
she said that the final outcome
would be a constitutional
amendment granting it to all

A sweat shop is a home where
the factory work is taken and
done. There are no laws gov
erning hours, or child labor in
the home, hence very small
children can be made to do
work in this way. Oftentimes
contagious diseases are carried
about in ready made clothing.
The Consumers League snd the
Union League are the only
guarantees against sweat shop
work. 1t is a known fact that
epidemics of scarlet fever have
broken out in rural communi.
ties when the children changed
to winter clothing. A germ is
the most democratic member OF
society.
She drew a very good com.
parison picture when she gave

There is even threatened
raise in the price of p hitting
paper. 1t is time the govern
ment took a hand TO see wheth-
er these inflated prices are
necessary or are only caused
because the money barons have
an excuse to raise the prices.
Some of the things which have
raised in price may come from
the territory now affected by
the European war but there is
a feeling among the people
who pay the bill that the 3D.
vance in price is simply a de-
sire on the part of those who
can make better than 100 per
cent on their products.

THE BASEBALL MASK.

tt Was First Used In q Yale Harvard
Game In 1876.
Frederick Winthrop Thayer of Co
hasset. Harvard '78. captain of the
famous varsity ninesA of 1876. 1877
and 1873. was the inventor of the
catcher's mask The days when Thayer
entered Harvard baseball differed
somewhat from the present. A pitcher
had to throw underhnnded and end
his throw with arm stretched out
Then that changed. and as conse-
quence the ball was thrown much
more swiftly. DR.. Harold G. Ernst, a
professor 10 the Medical school. was
pitcher on the varsity nine. and James
A. Tying was catcher. They made
wonderful battery.
Thayer noticed that the more free
dom given the pitcher the greater be-
came the risk Of the catcher One day
he let few into the secret. He was
going to make mask. A few days
before the Yale game of 1876 he came
on the ield with 1t. Save for the fact
1t was made more heavily, 1t was much
similar to the masks In use today.
Thayer attached 1t to Jim Tyng's
head. and from that moment the mask
entered baseball. at first the players,
other than those In the varsity, and
the spectators were inclined to ridicule
It. and 1t caused no end of comment
when 1t was worn by Tying at the Yale
game that year Harvard won. and
