WHAT ONE TOWN DID.

 Some time ago complaints were voiced that certain improvements were desirable in the place. Prob ably the same complaint has been voiced in hundreds of towns, only Ossea buckled up it's belt and "went to it. more efficiently than it's neighbors. .siail
 It decided to build large new sehoolhouse. Thousands of towns have done the same thing, of course. But when Ossea's. sc4oolhouse was finished it contained an opera nousv. art gallery, moving picture theatre, a pubic library and a gymnasium-in addition ty the school rooms.
 The town go. the six for the price of one. The building, instead O.; being idle most oi the time and only used when the children are at school is the social center of the entire community
 Besides, it has a lot of influance e that mould the characters of s,,lts citizens directly under it's own con- trol. It can use these for education and entertainment.
 It merely indicates that modern ideas in town development do not leave things to chance, as used to be the case. By putting a little bralr power behind plans for the future taxpayers not only get more for thei
 money, but they are building for tn future at the same time. 1 At the same time they are beautl flying life.

THINE BLUFF PROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND VICE.

The Remonstrance is the organ of the Massachusetts Association Op- posed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women. It is issued by women, and is stubbornly opposing the cause of the suffragettes. In a recent issue, the Remonstrance undertakes to show that giving the hallot to women will not improve conditi ons, such as exist in New York's Chinatown. In substantia- liDn of the argument, the Remons trance says that "the Chinese quarter of San Francisco furnishes horrors quite as tragic as Chinatown in New York; and that no city in the coun- try of equal size has worse reputa- tion for immortality than Denver. Yet these cites are in suffrage states and womtn's votes have not changed these conditions"
 The Remonstrance might give the suffragettes a little time before be- klAul1lE tO OlOW. SOIOiouO "OAiANiA have had the ballot for 21 years, it is true, but they have had long hard, uphill fight. California women have had the ballot only since 1911. The conditions complained of existed long before Colorado or. California women had suffrage. The evil was deep-rooted, but the women are mag ing progress toward improvement It must not be forgotten that Denver produced Judge Lindsey. The fact that there is evil in Denver and San Francisco as we'll as in New York and other large cities, does not offer reason for withholding the ballot from women.
 Though we do not agree with the Remonstance as to suffrage for wom- en. we do think it is near the truth when it says:
 Another fact to be borne in mind The young women who are found when Chinese opium dens are raidec in most instances have not beer taken there by violence. They have gone there voluntarily. Whether that is the first step in their ruin, ol a later step does not affect the fact And the causes which lie back of tnis moral tragedy are not causes whicf are due to defective legislation bu to the absence of home training ant restraint.

away. When these means prove futile
they prescribe diet calculated to
force the spirit to leave his victim In
fear Of losing his caste. The unfortu'

soup made OF toads. etc, When these
abominable nostrums fail the use OF
medicated oils and OF indigenous
herbs and drugs is resorted to-"
The medical treatment OF the insane
sometimes takes the following forms:
"The mud taken from putrid tanks
is plastered on the patients head. or
aloe pulp is mixed with water and ap-
piled in the form OF an emulsion. A

China Needs Weather Bureau.

The need of a weather bureau in
China Is emphasized by C. d. Jameson
in his report to the American Red
Cross on the measures which his per-
sonal observations In China indicate
should be adopted to ameliorate the
food and famine conditions Of that
country. There are at present practi-
cally no rainfall statistics for the river
basins most subject to floods, much
less any organization for flood predic-
ton. Torrential rains sometimes ocr
cur in this region. In June, 1910, a
local downpour in the vicinity of
Szechow, lasting some AZ hours, is es-
timated to have amounted to "a inches.

Kamerlingh-O -Onnes of Leyden has dis
covered that at certain very low tenn

of resistance to the current and be-
come what he calls "superconductors. :"
Tho finest wires of tin and lead do not
become heated under the highest cur
rents. 1t is strange that when the
critical temperature Is lowered even
slightly the superconductivity ceases
and the metal behaves as at other low
