Yes, it was THEN.

But not NOW.
Women vote now, and serve upon

Why not? Which proves that things

ever so to be.
The prejudice against women hold
ing public office will take the self
same road as have so many other
venerable superstitions. Personally,
have no political ambitions in the Or
binary sense of the word. But should
like to see the time come when wom-
an will be permitted, unchallenged, to
enter any field of activity, for which
she is fitted, mentally and physically.
1t is safe to say that the war in Eu-
rope is doing more to break down
the charge of women's inefficiency
and unfitness than could be accom-
plished in hundred years of peace.
1t is an ill wind that blows nobody
good. Once women understand the
necessity Of collective ownership Of
the greater means Of production and
distribution, her long term of hopeless
servitude will be at an end. She will
then for the first time In the history
of the race, understand the true mean
ing of LIFE.
The foregoing explains why have

There must always be pioneers. Why
should not be one of them? l do not
want any one to vote for me, however

has been stubbornly disputed.
1t is but a few years ago since the
question Of the co-education of the
sexes was the cause of bitter disputes
and even riots. The first merchant
who employed a woman to wait on
customers was boycotted, and the first
women teachers were ostracized by
"self-respecting citizens"

she was viciously attacked, and after

FIVE AND FIFTY
Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
II fifty men did all the work
And gave the price to five
And let those five make all the rules
You'd say the fifty men were fools,
Unfit to be alive.
And if you heard complaining cries
From fifty brawny men,
Blaming the five for graft and greed,
Injustice, cruelty-indeed,
What would you call them then?
Not by their own superior force
Do five on fifty live,
But by election and assent
And privilege of government
Powers that the fifty give.
If fifty men are really fools
And five have all the brains,
The five must rule as now we find;
But if the fifty have the mind
Why don't they take the reins?

The Blue Ribbons went right after the Utica basketball team last night and cleaned up the New York State boys by s9 to 16 before a big crowd at Colonial hall The visitors were minus the services of IngHs and Cohn but they might not have been missed if Chief Muller had shown a little pepper for Utica. Muller has a great reputation but last night he did lit tie except stall and the fans hooted him.. Cohn recently was appointed to the New York police force and Ing home in Pennsylvania Barger sub stituted for Cohn and did well.
 The Ribbons exce1Ied the visitors in all departments of. the game and af- ter the first, half there was no doubt of the result
 In the first ten minutes Utica put U a desperate resistance making many spectacular plays which kept the fans cheering.
 Swenson and Leonard starred for the Ribbons. The light haired guard was up against a tough man in Se- dram but managed. to ring up five goals and held Sedran to three. Ed die Leonard made the renowned Chief Muller look slow. The Ribbon ex- pert caged five while Muller could only get one. Young Reich substi- tuted for Jimmy Clinton of the Rib bons, who was recently injured. Reich got two goals

COACH NICKALLS
 DROPS FOUR FROM
 YALE FIRST CREW

New Haven, April 21-Coach Guy NfckalIs Of the Yale crew has some ideas of his own on how to coach a crew. This is shown by the fact that the first two Yale crews which 50 cas- fly defeated Pennsylvania two weeks ago, and which were regarded as be- ing in first class condition, have been completely changed in their make-ups by the English oarsman. Four men who have been rowing on. the first varsity eight, and who seemed to fit admirably in the boat, lost their seats to men on the second crew.
 Adams. who has been stroking the second varsity eight this year. and who held a similar position in the Freshman boat last year, has rep1ac- ed Tony Morse as stroke in the first crew Adams is a heavier and stronger man, and seems well fitted for the position. Sheldon, Bennett and Coe, experienced aoarsmen. lost their places to Whittlesey, Munson and GilhIlan, who were promoted from the second boat
 The new first boat has better ball ance than the crew which defeated Pennsyl ylyaniaI so handily. It is slight ly heavier.
 The dropping of Jim Sheldon from the varsity eight came as a great surprise as he rowed on the Yale eight which beat Harvard at New London last spring, and has been re- garded as one of the most capable oarsmen at Yale.

BURMAN AND RESTA TO
 ENTER 800 MILE RAGE

Indianapolis, April 21,-Darfo Res ta, winner of the Vanderbilt and Grand Prize races at San Francisco, and Bob Burman, the worlds speed king, have been entered in the next Indianapolis 50O-ni1e race at the wheel of Peugeot COTS. A third Peu- geot has been named, for which the driver, however, has not yet been named It is understood that Arthur #Duray, runner-up in last years In dianapohs event, is in line for the job, though this report lacks official confirmation.
 The Peugeot team this year will be split two ways, with Resta doing the heavy work in one of the cars that coTnpetedsin last years French Grand Prix. This machine, measuring 274 cubic inches. is one of the fastest ever built, and may be expected to be in front from the start.
 The other cars, being of the "Baby'' type, like that which Duray handled last year, will be driven more conser- vatively. Capable of 1o5 miles an hour, with light weight, they will be heard from in a long race, where stops for fuel and tire changes count heavily.

Philadelphia, April 21.-Connie Mack took all of his crew to the club house just before the game yesterday and. poured a lot of chatter into the ears Eof his athletes.
