RIVER TODAY

When the oil tank steamship Cush-
ing steamed up the Delaware river to-
day the officers and crew wondered
why they we're attracting so much at
tention. They had made numerous
trips TO Philadelphia before without
any special notice. II was, not until
they docked at the Atlantic Refining
Companya wharf at Point Breeze,
that they learned that the vessel had
been placed in the eyes of the world

made on her in his note dealing with
the destruction of the Lusitania and
the torpedoing of the Gulhight
While the crew made light of the
attack from a physical standpoint,
they were boiling with Indignation at
the insult TO the American flag, which
was flying from the flagstaff at the
stern when the attack was made. "rhe
attack was inexcusable," said one Of
the officers I'VE had y new, large flag
flung to the breeze, ard the name of
the vessel as you can see, is painted
in letters large enough 20 be read at
considerable distance"
The Cushing left Philadelphia on
April II with a cargo OF oil tor a
Scandinavian port. which made her a
neutral vessel with a neEtrsl cargo

ever. did not protect her. on April

rectly over the steamship and the sec

ANTI-SUFFRAGE NOTES

The suffrage play "Your Girl and
Mine" gives throughout an entirely or-
roneous impression of the laws in re-
gard to women.
A slide shown between the reels
says: "New York courts recently ruled
that a married womans earnings be-
long 10 her husband" They have done
nothing of the kind.
Under the New York laws o woman
may work and earn money and do
with il as she ploases.
She may own real and personal
property, and may sell or dispose Of
II as she pleases without her hus-
bands consent. The husband cannot
dispose of his real estate without his
wifos consent.
She is not Obliged to pay her hus-
bands bills, even though they are for
family expenses. The husband must
/ pay her bills.
] If the husband fails to support her,
| he may be arrested and prosecuted
criminally. No matter how wealthy
she is. or how sick or poor he is, the
wife cannot be compelled to support
him.
The decision of the New York courts
to which the slide mentioned above re-
fers. was in a case where creditors
sought to reach property which the
debtor had conveyed TO his wife to
avoid the payment of his just debts.
The man had got into financial diih-
culties and had transferred his prop
erty 10 his wife on the ground that II
had been bought with money earned
by her The judge decided that as the
earnings OF the wife had been mingled
with those OF the husband, with no in
dicatlon by her that they should be
kept separate. the property could not
be transferred out of reach of the hus-
bands creditors.
II is quite true that a contract by
a husband to pay his wife for house
hold services is void against creditors,
and property transferred to her under
such tract may be reached TO pay a
just debt contracted by the husband
Would women. If they had the vote
make it legal for a husband to pay his
wife salary and thereby defraud his
creditors? There is no limit TO tho
salary the husband could pay his wife
} except the limit of his income, anC
no limit to the fraud that could thus
be perpetrated.

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruh at once, and
that is to dissolve it. then you destroy
it entirely. TO do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need, apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruif will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of IL. no matter
how much dandrun you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly. and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft. and look and
feel a hundred times better.

ASKS ABOUT THAT DEBATE.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir: My attention was attracted
last winter TO several editorials and
letters appearing in your paper the
outgrowth of a visit TO your Office Of
our Rev. George A. Cooke. with the
purpose i'm view OF having you cease
publishing the International Bible
Students Sunday school lessons edit
ed by Pastor Russell, the above mem
toned Rev. Cooke, making the charge
that Pastor Russell's Sunday school
lessons we're out of harmony with the
religious views of the minister's union
and the Bible, and their influence
would lead to vice and crime Your
mastery editorial making plain that
your paper stood for religious liberty
must have been appreciated by all
fair minded people. whether or not
they are interested by the Internation-
al Bible Students Association.
This controversy finally developed
into proposals for a public debate be-
tween the Rev. George A. Cooke and
a representative of the I. b. S. A. What
has happened to this debate? I have
lately been informed by one of Pas
tor Russell's friends that the failure
in the debate coming off was due to
Z Mr.. Cooke or the minister's union
which he represents.
Now Mr.. Cooke will tell you that he
is one Of the Lords shepherds de-
vinely appointed TO look after tn,
