WOMEN TO RULE
 WHEN WAR ENDS7
 SAYS A PROFESSOR

CHICAGO. March 24.- After the war is over it is within the range of possibility that society will reorgan- ize It's classifications of human beings to Include heveral intermediary stag es between men and women. They will be enrolled according to their mental functions. not simply physical differences"
 Professor Robert Morse Lovett Of the University of Chicago made this statement before the Chicago Equal Suffrage Association.
 Looks For New Arrangement
 Many women whose minds and tendencies are masculine" he stated. "are classed with women on account Of the accident Of sex. which is real ly minor matter in their construc- ton. After the war. f it keeps up long enough. there will be few mas culine men left. and @ reconstruction or society will be necessary. It is not possible that society will take advantage Of these facts and realize human beings with several intern, d. iary sexes or classifications.
 "You all know women who have Che minds and the capabilities Of run n.ng banks better than the men at their heads at present. Their whole process Of thought is masculine. Some rsaiignment will be necessary after the war and is at least within the realms Of possibility"
 Women To Choose
 Tn mentioning the rise of women to economic and social equality. after the war he said:
 After the war women win be al- lowed to bear children under condi- tions chosen by herself and not thrust upon her by economic conditions.

Washington.-His career ended at

penitentiary sentence of anywhere up
to fifteen years when he is tried at
San Francisco for counterfeiting. But,
while he may drop out for time, he
will have left behind him a lot of wis.,
iting cards-in the form of the most
nearly perfect counterfeit 81, 50 and
$40 bills ever showed across counter
in payment for a small purchase, ac-
cording to the secret service.
Wilken was arrested at Santa Cruz,
Cal, by secret service men, who claim
to have obtained a confession during
subsequent trip to San Francisco,
where he is held for trial. When he
landed in Jail secret service men, from
Chief Flynn down to the newest oper-
ative, heaved a long, deep sigh of re-
lief.
Wilken is young mans Where he
started the police do not know. The
first time the secret service ever heard
of him was when particularly excel

the treasury from banks all over the
country, which had accepted them as
genuine. The chase for their manu-
facturer started. 1t led the secret
