STATUTE GIVES
 US CLEAR RIGHT
 TO BOND BALLOT"
Says Mrs. William T. Hfncks Discussing City Attor-
 ney's Opinion.

e'Perhaps this may be a question of bonding rather than 8 question reiat- Ing to education or to schools" said Mrs William T. Hincks in discussing <<fhe opinion of City Attorney William H. Comley in which he says that no women are qualified to vote at the coming special election on municipal bonding measures. Additional high asked for and bonds of $2o0.00o for new school houses in addition to the I min tax for the purpose allowed by the board of apportionment. Speak ing further of City Attorney Comley' s opinion. Mrs Hincks said:
 T cannot agree with Attorney Conn lev that women are not qualified elec- tors. Women to vote, must qualify for the franchise, just as men do City Attorney CulliriAzn Stswo years ago held a different opinion from City Attorney Com1ey. The statute under which lwo- men are permitted to vote reads as follows:
 ss Every woman who has attafne ed the age of 21 years, who shall be a citizen of this state or of the United States and who will have resided in this state one year and in this town six months, and can read the English language, shall after having been duly admitted, have the right to vote TOT any of1eer of the schools and upon any <1flestien relating to education or to schools
 *sIt is under the last sentence of this act. that we claim the right to vote. If bonding for schools is a matter re- Iasing to education or schools then we clearly have the right to vote on the matt ,s

Tie first at tempt at a type setting machine was that of Herman. patented in England. 1 in 17e4 Church, a Connecticut in ventor, invented the keyboard prin- ciple in 1922 Beginning about 1S4O, several English. French and Amerf- can inventors took up the work Tn 1s42 James Young, an EngIishman. perfected a machine on which several numbers of the Family Herald were set up. Timothy Alden, of Tar mouth, Mass. invented a machine in ed by his cousin, Henry Alden, and used in the Tribune office for several years.

The Human Procession

f perpetrated on the natives of that part of Africa in order to fill the Bel gian royal treasury are now dark memories of the past. The present. King is said to be a model husband although there have been rumors to the contrary-and he does not share his predecessors taste for risque en- tertainments in which the feminine participants were. like Lady Godiva, clothed only with chastity.'s Indeed. King Albert is said to have been ex- tremely shocked by the decollete dress and slit skirt of a lady who at tended the court ball last month, and instructed the court marshal to gently politely but firmly remove the offend ing woman. That dignitary, accord ing to the report, bowed to the under dressed lady and said: 's His Majes- ty noticed that you had torn your dress up one side and requested me to escort you to your carriage, so that you might return home and have the damage repaired.''
 The home life of the King and Queen is very quiet, and the home loving Belgians. find this a vast relief after the scandals and numerous love affairs of old King Leopold, the Fickle.'s Queen Elizabeth was Ba- varian duchess when she married AL bert in 1900. The royal pair have l two sons and a daughter. Albert's early education was not of the char acter usually given to future rulers, for there was little thought that he
 
 his father, the Count of Flanders and his elder brother, Prince Baldwin, were still alive. The death of both before the passing of King Leopold made Albert the heir to the crown.

JIM THORPE NOT NATURAL
 PLAYER, CRAWFORD CLAIMS

Boston, April Jim Thorpe is far from being a. major league base ball player as yet, according to the opinion of Sam Crawford, who went around the world with the famous Indian athlete.
 Thorpe's speed is all that commands him, according. to Sam He is not a particularly good fielder and he can not hit He is not a natural hitter at all, but he gives the bat a little upward chop as he swings at the ball in a way that Crawford never saw any man do before
 Furthermore, Thorpe doesn't seem to have that baseball instinct that is so necessary for big league player. says Crawford. He is a very chesty fellow for man who has yet to prove that he is of big league ca1iber, is the assertion made by Wahoo Sam.
