Government Dare Not Kill
 Such Women As Mrs. Pankhurst
Three Are Now Being Forciby Fed in Prison Almost to Point of Death and They Are Enduring It As
 Did Early Chris an Martyrs.

The party which comes into power in England when the liberal ministry falls, if it falls, will have three
 months or whereabouts of peace from the suffragettes. But, if at the end of that time it shows no signs of giv- ing women the vote--then will come the deluge.
 Miss Margaret Hodge and Miss Dorothy Pethick, who arrived from Liverpool on Sunday on the White Star liner Philadelphia, said at the Hotel Martha Washington in New York city that the present crisis was the suffragettes' opportunity, and they would make the most of it. Miss Hodge and Miss Pethick have been ranked as non-militants, Miss Pe- thick being a sister of Mrs. Pethick- Lawrence, who broke with the Plank hursts on the ground that their poli- cy was too extreme. But admiration shone in their faces when they spoke of the militants and their deeds and more than once they aligned them selves with the militants by the pro- noun we"
 There is sure to be a new elec- tion soon,' Miss Hodge said, "and probably the conservatives have learned their lesson from watching
 the liberals squirm. The liberals won't admit that the militants have worried them, but they have been terribly worried. The conservatives won't want to be harried like that. And we shall see to it that votes for women is an issue in this election, so the new government can't ignore it on the ground that it isn't an issue. As they'll go in on a small majority they can't be very independent, and all things considered, I think they'll give property owning women a vote. But, if they don't yield"
 Ready to Die For Cause.
 '1f they don't" said Miss Pethick, when they've had three months to consider, we'll make them as uncom-' forta ble as we've made the liberals" Miss Hodge said that militancy had been necessary in England, but she doubted the wisdom of continuing it farther, because it was so difficult for the women, themselves.
 ''The government has shown that 1t will go any lengths in dealing with them," she said Tt doesn't dare Kill we'll known women like Mrs. Pank- hurst to be sure, but when the vic tims have no friends to make an out cry it doesn't care what 1t does to them.

CRIMINAL PATTI
 PICTURE AT FOX'S

''The Criminal Path is the big picture at Fox's theater today.
 Jim Jepson has served five years in prison for bank robbery, but fox fifteen years has lived straight lifn With his wife and daughter. Then misfortune overtakes him and hia daughter is forced to work. At this crisis Jepson meets Doc Burns, whc was in prison with him, but is dodg- ing warrant from the west wherS he is badly wanted.
 Jepson is persuaded by Burns to resume his former occupation. The two rent an old house, next to ;L bank and tunnel through the cellar to the vaults, while Mary, ignorant of the fact that her father has gone back to the criminal ,arn, is night cashier in a restaurant.
 On her way home she is saved from insult by Bob Darrell, de- tective who recognizes the Worm" a notorious crook, lettering in the vicinity of her house. Darrell, who arrested Jepson and Burns twenty years before, and Is now trailing Burns, follows the Worm and is convinced that a bank robbery is be- ing planned. Believing Mary an ac- complice, Darrell has her discharged from the restaurant so she will br home when he raids the place. Mary is apprehended as she unlocks tho door, Darrell and his men descend to the cellar, follow the cracksmen through the tunnel and capture ther as they are blowing the safe. Jep" son denies Mary's complicity, but she is sentenced to a short term while the others are sent to prison for ten years.
 Mary is released from the pene- tentiary Sick and starving she ia tempted to steal purse, but i3 saved from her first step in the criminal rath when hymn reaches her ears. She seeks refuge in a mission and faints from hunger and exhaustion. The clergyman, Rev. John Horton sends her to a hospital where he visits her frequently. On recovering he gets her a place with his sister, Mrs Blair. His interest irl Mary ripens into love, while Richard Blair, his brother law, annoys; Mary with his attentions. Jepson es- capes from prison and Darrell be- lieves he can capture him by watch. ing Mary He is right because Jep- son seeks his daughters aid in leav. ing the country.

ture, well no one knows how they bear it. A spirit like that of the early Christian martyrs keeps them up. I heard Mary Richardson, not long before she slashed the Rokeby Venus, assert her belief that women must die to get the vote in England, and many others feel like that
 Miss Richardson. by the way, cher ishes an inflamed appendix as a weapon in the warfare.
 She had appendicitis after pris- on experience and forcible feeding" Miss Hodge said, "and the doctors ad- vised an operation, telling her she would have trouble as long as that appendix stayed in. She refused. That appendix is too useful she said. Some woman must die in pris- on and my appendix may be the means"
 Miss Richardson is a wonderful woman" Miss Pethick said. Tt is absurd the fuss that was made about the cutting of the Rokeby Venus-a picture no one heard of before. It's future claim to fame will be the fact that it was slashed in the fight for woman's freedom
 Christabc1 Still Militant.
 Miss Pethick said the rumor that Christabel Pankhurst wished to drop the militant policy was untrue.
 "She was never more militant than now And never were more militant acts committed than now. Many Of them don't get reported; indeed, l heard a young militant complain not long ago that she was quite tired of burning houses that weren't report ed. On the other hand, the police sometimes plant bombs and lay it to the militants. That was the case with the bomb that was put in St. PauIs cathedral and another in a hotel. When things are done that endanger human life, you may be sure the militants haven't done them.
 Never was a more spiritual move ment than the militant movement. A woman who saw Mrs. Pankhurst car- ried unconscious into her home on stretcher after her last hunger strike, told me her face was like an angel s it was so purged of everything ma- terial And there are two thousand women in England animated by that same spirit, ready to go to the same lengths in this war;
 Miss Hodge, who was identified with the enfranchisement of women in Australia, has been travelling through that country explaining mil itancy to the women there. ..r.a "Such lies are cabled to the col- onies about what the militants do, she said: 'I want to set them right

Have fully four quarts of water boiling rapidly in tine kettle. Add a half teaspoonful of salt and the rice and cover until it boils again, then partly uncover or it will boil over. Keep the water at a galloping boil. In ten minutes be- gin to test, lifting out a few grains with a fork and rubbing them between thumb and finger; when tender to the center (which will take about twenty minutes) the rice is done. Turn into a colander, cover with cloth and let steam in the oven for five or ten minutes. Serve with a sauce or cream and sugar. Steamed Fish-This is an appro- priate way to serve any large, firm feshed fish, and will be found more satisfactory than boiling. Wash and dry the fish, dust it well with flour and wrap it in a dampened and foured square of cheese cloth: lay on plate and steam until the flesh draws away from the bones. After scrap ing off the skin, transfer carefully to a hot platter and garnish, it is usually best to serve the sauce separately.

KEENEY PATRONS f
 ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

keeney patrons are getting more en- thusiastic every day over the artistic dancing of Mile. Santi, a. chic little Parisian miss, who is furnishing one of the features of this weeks show. This clever little lady introduces series of barefoot dances in which she exhibits grace and skill. She offers the Hungarian tango, some intricate Grecian gyrations and closes with the sensational Egyptian death dance. In the latter number she is at her best and her interpretation of the weird spectacle is most impressive. Her act is splendidly staged, the mag
 nificent scenery which she carries making beautiful settings for the diff ferent numbers.
 From spectacular standpoint there
 is nothing in the acrobatic line that
 approaches the speciality in which the
 Tausts, daring aerialists, make their appearance. The pair perform num-
 Der of original and thrilling feats on
 the trapeze and rings and win great applause for some of the sensational
 features of their program.
 The Harmony Bellies have a pretty
 singing number. They introduce sev- eral popular and semi-classical soMgs rendering each in entertaining fashion. The belles have good voices and the mixture produces true harmony. "A Little Love, A Little Kiss" sung by one of the quartet, is probably the ! most popular number on their pro- gram.
 Harrison Stewart and a company of ten negro entertainers make their bow in The Boss Barber musical comedy that has several features of merit. There is plenty of good comedy In the piece, besides entertaining sing ing and dancing numbers. The Ryan Sisters find favor in a pianologue with eccentric dancing and rube burlesQue as attractive fea- lures.

 Girls" by Clyde Fitch, will be the attraction for the coming week. This was originally produced in London and was so popularly received that the engagement extended over two years. In offering this attraction Man. ager Birch has acceded to great demand for a revival of the attrac" tion. The demand has increased since the coming of Miss Skirvin and MT. Blackmore.
 In the authorship of this play MT. Fitch wielded his facile pen most cleverly. He steered clear of the common comedy situations and evolved entirely new situations. The scene in which Pamela Gordon" and her girl friends pledge their solemn OaCn to remain DdCnclOr SlIlS, lOl' lowed quickly by the sudden and un- expected intrusion of Edgar Holt" has always proven most pleasing.

The blouse that gives vested effect is a favorite one and this model shows the vcstce portions slightly full SO that they are especially adapted to net and other dainty materials of summer weather, and it includes also sleeves that are scwcd tc it at the dropping shoulder line. In the illustration, it is made of one of the em. brodered silk crepes with collar and cuffs of plain material and vestec of net, but the model could be used quite as sue. cessfully for an eItire net blouse or for chiffon and for tl:e much simpler cotton fabrics, for there is no feature of the season more remarkable than the use of the same design for the dressy blouse of fine ma terial and for the useful one of plaincr fabric. Cotton voiIe is always pretty
 both for dresses and for separate blouses and this one could be made of that ma terial with collar and cuffs of bright colored silk, as orange or cerise, to be ex. ceedingly smart, the vest portions being ot marquisette or cotton net.

Household Notes

A solution which will remove stains from the hands, at the same time softening them, is the following: Put into a bottle two ounces of gIyc- erin, two ounces of water, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and a few drops of carbolic acid. Shake we'll and after washing and wiping the hands, rub little of this mix ture into them.
 Potato omelet is delicious. Take a large, freshly baked potato and scoop out the inside. Beat this until smooth and mix with it half salt spoonful of paprika or white pepper. one-half teaspoonful of salt a dessert spoonful of lemon juice and the yokes of four eggs. A minute or two be- fore the omelet is fried fold in the whites ofTthe eggs beaten to froth. Fry in a well-greased, very hot pan and serve in a hot dish.
 Pots and pans should receive the most scrupulous care. For instance, skillet which has been used for fry ing should have two washings, the last in boiling-hot soapsuds. The saucepans and pots should undergo the same treatment, and when the vegetables or soups or cream sauce have been put into their respective dishes ready for tue dining room, the pans should be filled at once with warm water; they will be much easier to wash.
 The kitchen range can be man. aged in way to save fuel. Upon rising in the morning, turn over the grate, open the draughts for a few minutes. When the coals begin to brighten the draught should be shut off. Then breakfast can be prepared and the fire used for an hour after ward without replenishing. This method can be repeated at each meal. The oven heats more easily if the fire is clean and the fire box not more than half full of coal.
