AN INTERESTING
Paper READ
AT The Crittenden County Equal
suffrage League Meeting Sat-
urday, May 18th, 1915.

Do you happen to know how
the women Of Colorado obtained
their vote!
About the time that equal SUI
irage was pending in Colorado,
there came ont from the east a
young couple in search Of health
for the husband. The wife nursed
him and cared for him, meanwhile
working to earn their living and
pay the expenses OF his hos
pital and doctors bills. But in
spite OF her sacrifice. the man died.
Three months later in Denver
hospital the woman gave birth -
little baby. When this child
vas only eleven days old. and the
mother still lay weak and i'll, the
husbands parents came from the
east and took her baby away
The mother protested, begged and
plead for the child. She told Them
she would soon be we'll and able 10
support and care for il. But she
yaS told that her husband. before
nj: death, had willed his unborn
'ahy to h's own people, and moi
to the wife who had sacrificed FL
much Tor his sake. The young
mother appealed to the law 70 re.
,over her chiid. but, to her horror,
she learned that father had a
legal right to will away his IN
born child.
The following year a woman
came into the suffrage headquar-
tiers and told her story.
Her husband had died. leaving
her with three small children ant
q large fortune. The court decid.
ed the fortune was too large for
a woman to manage and ordered a
guardian appointed. Soon after
the mother took the children tu
Philadelphia and put them IN a
school there. but the guardian or
dered the oldest daughter, a gir'
OF sixteen, to retrn 10 his home III
the west. The mother sent let
tiers and kilograms Of protest, bun
tho law gave the guardian, not the
mother, the right to choose a home
for her child, and the girl was
compelled to return west. The
Other daughter lay very i'll and the
mother was detained in Philadel-
phia at her bedside. As soon as
She was able to leave she went
west. only to find that her sixteen.
year-old daughter had been forced
into a marriage with her guard.

FRENCH BUSINESS SATISFIES HEADS
 OF TRADE BODIES

Paris, March .-PresTdents4 of seventy-fve French chambers of cofnmerce met here yesterday under the presidency Of David Mennets head of the Paris chamber. to discuss the general commercial situation. All were agreed that the conditions which exist are as good as a state of war will permit. The volume of trade it was asserted, gradually is increasing and certain districts even are enjoy ing unusual prosperity, notably those in which are factories working on army. contracts and those beginning to manufacture products hitherto ob- tainable only in Germany.
 It was decided that the Paris cham Der should gather data regarding ar ticles imported from Germany both by France and allied and neutral countries which could be made in France.
 Speakers declared that slow and un- reliable transportation facilities were hampering large scale operations more than credit difficulties and a resolution was passed favoring a re- turn to the practice whereby courts had the power to relieve the transpor- tatfon companies of liability for loss or damaged goods if such loss was at tributabIe to a. state of war.

Smooth Performance ot Clever Play Adds to Stock
 Company's Popularity

A play that was clever and refresh ing, a meritortous production and, a. setting that was extremely artistic were found at the Lyric theatre last evening when 'sHer Husbands Wife was given by the CaIburn players with Miss Eleanor Cleveland in the title role The setting. living room at the Randolph's, Saratoga, was one of un- usual beauty. Attractive furniture, and a harmonious color scheme gave a. festfuI and charming effect while through the open windows a view of a. June garden, with it's rhododendrons in full bloom, was obtained. This, with the production itself. which was en- tirely smooth and well given, made the audience feel the hand of the new director, Kendall Weston. although he did not appear in person
 Miss Cleveland was extremely good as Irene Randolph, the wife. The part was played with the cleverness and efficiency with which this littel woman has won the hearts Of So many local theatregoers.
 We have never seen Miss Violet Bar ney look pfettier or more demure than as Emily Ladew in the first act when Hshe wears simple dark, sailor suit and an exceedingly youthful hat. She plays the most interesting character part in the play with much skill which tadds anew to her popularity in this lcity.
 Miss Beverly West, who has effec- tively demonstrated her ability to play important roles during the past few weeks, has the part of Baroness yon Hoffman in which she depicts a much folder woman than she has before at tempted. She is quite as charming as usual land portrays the Baroness with much finish. Miss Emma DeWeale has the lpart of the maid.
 Lowell Sherman is good as John Bel den. uncle of Irene, Fred Roland has lthe part of the husband in which he todes some especially fine work, and Edward Darney is Richard Be1den, "a irole to which he applies himself with his usual earnestness and good work I These three masculine parts are quite ievenIys balanced.
