WORKING WoMEN's LEAGUE
COMES OUT FOR WILSON
Working Women's Independent
Woodrow Wilson league. organized
Sept. 9, issues the following state
ment:
We, the undersigned working
women, pledge our support to re-
elect President Woodrow Wilson.
We pledge him our support:
Because Of his splendid record dur
ing the past four years in a most
critical period in the history of our
nation.
Because he has stood with the
common people as against the big
business interests Of the country.
Because he has placed human
values above property values and
stands for human freedom.
Because of his record of labor le-
gislation which was denied us during
other administrations, particularly
the enactment Of the child labor law
and the Clayton antitrust act.
Because Of his courageous stand
for the 8-hour day in the recent rail-
road controversy.
Because we believe that his action
in this case has advanced the cause
Of the shorter workday to such an
extent that we look to an early en-
actment Of 8-hOur legislation for
women in the various states and by
congress.
For these reasons we feel justified
in calling upon the working women,
regardless Of party, to join in our
campaign to work for the reelection
of President Wilson.

The woman prosecutor idea had
been suggested as the only means to
make it plain to a jury that the I'M
fortunate lady is not being persecut-
ed by men DULLES. Nothing to it,

SOME FORMS OF HYPNOTIsM
Many May Be Known to the Readers
While Others Have Flavor
That Is New.

HypnOtiZing hen is trick known
to most country boys. 1t is an old
experiment, first described by the Je-
suit Father AthanaSiuS Kircher, who
laid hen on the table, held it firmly
for a little while, and drew chalk
line in front of it's eyes, with the re-
suit that it remained as if in catalepsy.
In India it is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for a considerable time, either coiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to 4 board and
turned suddenly upside down goes into
a trance. Other animals are suscep-
tible to this treatment, some more
quickly than others.
If you pick up a crab and wave 1t
in the air it becomes immObile, a fe-
male bending her legs over her abdO-
men, a male sticking them out almost
straight. The same is true Of the
fresh-water crayfish, only this resists
for a much longer time than the crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-cOlh-
monty known as death ieigning"
common, and, according to Prof. Err
nest MangOld, the learned naturalist
is often a means of saving the life
of the insect.
