Who Is Interested
In The Home

The interest of the woman in legis-
lation of this country is equally as
great, and in some particulars great
er, than the interest of any man can
possibly be. Even on matters of
finance, and in hundred other ways.
If this country is well governed, and
governed in the interests of the mass
of the people, and equal opportunity
afforded to all people to go on in this
world and enjoy life of happiness
and prosperity, it leads directly down
to the home. Who is more interested
in the home than the mother of the
people of the country? The men of
the country? If we have unjust laws
and unequal opportunity, your chill
dren and mine are going to suffer
for it. Whose heart is appealed to
more closely for the welfare of the
future Of its children than the moth
er's? The fathers? Never; not on
your ife.-Senator Lane of Oregon.

will carry into their life work splen-
did example of the duties and the
privileges Of suffrage.
At present, half the children born
die before they grow up. If all these
could be saved, the net result would
be the same as if the birth-rate had
been doubled.
One way to reduce the infant death
rate is to give votes to women. Mrs.
Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale said
at a meeting in Pennsylvania, as re-
ported in the Philadelphia Ledger:
'eThe infant mortality is lowest in
the world in three countries where
women vote. New Zealand, Norway
and Australia, where they lose IS, 81
and So babies out of every 1000, re-
spectively. In the German Empire
where woman's place has been defined
very strictly as with the church
kitchen and children, they lose 49,
babies out of every 1000. In England
they lose 40.
There are no vital statistics in this
country for babies, but in the Scotch
English province of Ontario, where
conditions of life are at least as cas-!
as in Norway but where women d,
not vote, they lose lit babies in eacl
1000"

REGULATING CHILD LABOR.

When the parliamentary suffrage
was given to the women of the Isle
of Man, before they had had the
chance to vote a delegation of mem
bers of Parliament sezt for a COM
mittee of leading ladies and asked
them what changes they wanted in
the property laws. In my own state
of Oregon, where women have not yet
had the chance to vote at general
election, the legislature has shown
great anxiety to pass such laws as
women desired. I have not COM
pared the laws of the different states
in the, respect Of children, but the
Parliamentary Union a few
years ago did so, and they put on
record that the laws of Colorado re-
lating to child life in its various as
poets of education, home, and labor
were 'the sanest, most humane, and
most progressive laws to be found on
any statute books in the world" Very
soon after women obtained the ballot
in Colorado Mrs. Harriet G. R.
Wright, a member of the Colorado
house, secured the passage of law
prohibiting the labor of children IN
der ID years of age. It was the best
legislation up to that time, and in
1911 Mrs. Wright assisted Mrs. Louise
u. Jones, a member of the legisla-
ture, to prepare and carry through a
law said by Representative Taylor to
be ''the most wise and complete law IN

On the other side of the world, on
that rainy Friday morning, Miss
Adams was pleading for peace for all
the people of all the world. And on
this side, where the people of many
nations had congregated to make a
new home in a new world, her quiet
influence being exerted through the
work that she started in America and
which has grown to such wonderful
proportions.
Let US suppose that in year Miss
Adams and her co-workers influence
one hundred persons to higher con-
ception of the duties and the privi-
leges of life what marvellous force
for good. But when we realize that
not one hundred persons, but many
hundreds of persons come within the
radius of that influence, think what q
tremendous force for better citizen

HULL HOUSE AND. WHAT
IT STANDS FOR

If Hull House stands for anything
in the world, it stands for Better
Babies. When Miss Jane Adams first
conceived the idea of this great set
element, which has become the centre
of settlement work in the United
States, it was because she realized the
growing need of the immigrant chill
dren-the little citizens come from all
parts of the earth, to grow up with
the country.
Miss Adams realized, and brought
others to realize, that there was a
very grave responsibility resting upon
the United States, whicf was receiv-
ing each year many thousands of i'm
migrants, many of whom were of the
most ignorant classes, even of their
own country, and who here, in .
strange world, had hardly fair fight
ing chance.

Crashes Through Window In
kOkOSing Flats
At An Early Hour Saturday
Morning

The sharp report of a revolver and
the crash of glass awakened Mrs.
Mary Liggett of the Kokosing flats
at $3.50 o'clock Saturday morning.
She beheld q large hole in the bay
window of her apartments, while
glass was strewn over the floor of the
room.
All of the occupants of the flat
were aroused by the noise and rushed
to Mrs. Liggett's room. The bullet
was found on the floor near the win.
dow. The glass had either stayed its
flight or it had glanced back from
some metallic object on the other side
of the room.
Mrs. Liggett stated Saturday morn.
ing that she heard no noises in the
street and was of the opinion that the
bullet was stray one, coming
through her window by accident. The
other occupants of the flat likewise
heard no disturbance below on the
streets.
Opinion on the streets Saturday had
it that fight occurred early Satur.
day morning in front of the Ringwalt
store, thus accounting for the broken
windows there. 1t was also pointed
out that if revolver had been pulled
in such fight and shot in a northern
direction, it could easily penetrate
Mrs. Liggetts window. There seems
general tendency to connect up
these two accidents as arising from
common source-a fight.

SUBMARINE
Device Invented By A BuCy-
rus Man

Charley Nyquist of Bucyrus, has
invented safety appliance for sum-
marines which will prevent a repe.
tition of the horror which recently
took place in the Pacific, when the
United States submarine F-4 sunk
near Honolulu.
The device consists of cable drum
which is mounted in the submarine
with sufficient cable for all purposes.
On top Of the submarine is mounted
drum about four feet in diameter.
Should the crew of the submarine
lose control of the boat and should
it sink, a dog on the cable drum is
released and this allows the cable to
unwind. The drum thus remains on
top OF the water even though the sub
marine goes to the bottom.
On top of the drum are two signal
lights which are used as signals of
distress and the lights are furnished
current from the power outfit of the
submarine.

BLAME
This Wet Weather On An
Old Saint

The fact that it rained in this sec.
tion of the country on July 10, and
has rained almost every day since
that time, has aroused renewed inter.
est in the ancient legend of st. Swith.
in. The legend says that if rain falls
on ST. Swithins Day, July 10, it will
rain for forty days thereafter.
This legend is supposed to be based
on the fact that st. Swithin, who was
bishop of Winchester, England, about
S52 A. d., was very humble man,
and when an effort was made to trans.
fer his bones from their resting place
in graveyard to the place of honor
in the Winchester cathedral, after he
had been canoniZed in 962, the saint
objected to being thus set above 9th
ers and in some way procured rain for
forty days, delaying the project for
that length of time in the hope that it
would be abandoned.
Those who have observed the mat
ter agree that if it rains much about
the middle of July, there is likely to
be wet season of about six weeks
duration. Many of these old-time
legends are the result of the accumu
lated observation Of generations OF
men who did not undertake to find the
cause of facts they observed, but were
satisfied with the simpler methods OF
ascribing them to some supernatural
influence. The legend of st. Swithin's
Day and the rain is one of the Oldest
and most interesting instances OF this
disposition of the simple mind in the
middle ages or in all ages, for thai
matter.

RACES GOOD

When A PAGER Is Held Down
In First Heat
After Storm Of Indignation
Went Up From Crowd
Summary Of The Events Of
Thursday Afternoon
Summary Of The Events Of
Thursday Afternoon

Experience was sought by r. E.
Glaze of Centerburg for his mare,
Miss Cuba Clay, when he entered her
in the 2:25 pace at the county fair
Thursday afternoon, but his action in
holding down the PAGER the first two
heats to avoid marking her brought
such a storm of indignation from the
crowd that Starter Woodland forced a
London taking Mr.. Glazes place. Miss
Cuba Clay won the third heat with her
new driver, who was ordered to let
her out, but the judges leniently gave
the time as 2:19A, although several
stop watches in the crowd caught it
at 2:14A.
This little mare looks like a sure
conner and when she gets ready for
big races will probably meet with
great success. 1t was said at the
races Thursday that she is compare
lively green, the present year being
her first on the turf She took second
money Thursday afternoon. One on
locker claimed that Miss Cuba Clay
could go at 2:12 pace without great
difficulty and, on mile track, had
made the circuit in 2:07h.
The entries in Thursdays after
Moons events werelargely horses from
this immediate vicinity, so the very
large crowd found a local interest at
tached to every heat. But one of the
races. the 2:25 pace, proved exciting.
The remaining two events were rath-
er of the cut-and-dried order and,
though some good stepping was done,
furnished few thrills.
An unusual item in the 2:18 pace
was the fact that all four entries I'm
ished in exactly the same places three
times in succession. 1t is due local
driver, Mr.. Lee Thrailkill, to state
that his entry was an accommodation,
according to statement made by him
Friday. Mr.. Thrailkill remarked that
the mark of his horses was 2:21A and
that it had not been raced for three
years. There was one heat in this
race. the second, in which three hors-
es finished practically abreast and it
was only after some hesitancy that
the judges announced their decision.
The 2:l7 trot had three fast horses
in it. but the Newark entry, The Katy
Did. had the others bested from the
start and it was foregone conclusion
that the owner, G. L. Smith, would
take the money.
The crowd Thursday assumed the
proportions of normal fair gathering
and manifested interest in the races
throughout the afternoon. The sum
