TOPIC FOR SUFFRAGE ASSN

Any woman has a right to be a

Any baby is legitimate.
Members of the National American
Woman Suffrage assn sat up in their
seats and gasped last night when
Prof. w. l. Thomas, Chicago univer-

of wedlock was honorable. Some
openly took issue with him. Others,
including DR.. Anna Howard Shaw,
mothered his radical ideas.
Prof. Thomas preached for open
motherhood and open instructions to
women on the ways that may be en-
ployed to restrict the birth of chill

"The world is no better than in the
so-called days of savagery," he said.

Good fishing can be enjoyed just
north of the Lake st. dam in the Des-
PLANES river, east bank preferred, as
the west bank is plastered with signs
prohibiting fishing and trespassing,
but south of Lake st. the Desplaines
river during low tide is rival of Bub-

towns bordering on the river use it
for the disposal of their sewage.
A good days outing may be had at
Desplaines, H., whether in the lake
or river downstream from the pump
ing station, or would suggest trying
Romeo, Ill, on the Joliet electric line,
where there is good fishing in the
Desplaines river and small lakes
which dot this section.
