About TWO SINGERS.


Mrs. Collingwood Tucker and Mrs.
Floy Little Bartlett are both men-
toned in the New York Sun in re-
view OF the musical season:
From letterbox of one musical
season a stray note now and then
tells story. Thus, Mrs. Floy l. Bart
lett noticed favorable comment on

by Lois Ewel1, and wrote to re.
viewer: The only sad feature is that
you credit Homer Bartlett with the
song, and l rejoice to tell you that 1t
belongs to me- l attended the recital
and I thought at the time that, IT
anything was said, he would probably
be credited with it, because am SO
new in the field that 1 have to make
my own place. Mrs. Co:.Hgwood
Tucker wrote of her own concert:
This is my first time in New York
and I am praying that l haven't more
courage than common sense. am
not full-fedged professional, but
have more steam than l can use up
at home, so singing is my safety
valve; just as bridge or crocheting
keeps loads of other women from
blowing up And may the heavens be
your bed If you will be mercifup."

Suffrage In California.

seek to defeat suffrage at the polls
June 5, have been centered upon the
alleged failure of equal rights in other
states. Colorado and California have
had to bear the brunt of the attack.
If the opinion of the leading news
papers of those states are any cr1-
terion, the defamatory tactics Of the
.antis" are without grounds. In this
respect the following comment In the
Los Angeles Times will be Of interest
to those who are trying to arrive at
a decision from an unprejudlced
standpoint:
"The Times frankly admits that
much of the opposition TO woman's
suffrage is pure prejudice: that many
of the fears anticipated have not
materialized; that the women OF Cali
fornia have so far used their powers
as wisely, as conservative1y as the
men; that their political partisanshtp
is about as equally divided. On all
the big questions which have come
UP for vote since the women were
enfranchised in California the women
have shown intelligence, responsible
ity and entirely commendable, sense
of the fitness of things. They did not
vote solidly for prohibition, for non
D9II1SdnSuIp, iOE lSi-loot ShCCIo3 Iva
abolition Of prize fights; they have
not shown penchant for radical re-
strictive legislation, for wild finan-
cial schemes, nor have they been
swayed by a preference for good look
ing candidates. irrespective Of merit,
as it was frequently contended they
would do. On the contrary, the wom-
ems clubs of Los Angeles have shown
a marked disposition to discuss ques-
tons earnestly from all angles, to
insist upon hearing both sides of
every controversial measure and of
forming their own considered opin-
ions and voting accordingly, both
ways.
mo homes have been broken up
over controversial political questions,
no families are known TO have died
of neglect while mother was at the
voting BOOTH
States have been adopting suffrage
in this country since 1869. Perhaps
the best thing that can be said of it
is that no state has ever taken the
ballot away from its women.

Great interest was taken this morn- ing in the tryout of the new smoke stack of the Wild Goose heating plant at the foot of Lanes way At first smoke poured from the top of the stack. Then the tar the whole length of the stack began to smoke giving off acrid fumes which caused every body in the neighborhood to take mo- tice. Some thought there was fire and in moment there was one. Tn few moments the assembled crowd saw the base of the stack just above the concrete begin to get red and then white with heat. As the wooden wall next to the stack was only eight and a half inches away from the white hot stack it naturally began to smoke a bit. The crowd was now getting deep ly interested not to say excited. Capt Steinmann rushed for the phone in
 Hills drug store but the line was busy as Al Lomen had beaten him to it. Al told the fire department that they had better send up man as fire seemed imminent. Then the wall began to burn and the flames ran to the caves. Councilman Poteet start ed on a run to summon the fire de- parement, somebody yelled fire" and the excitement and the size of the crowd increased. In a moments time the chemical engine emerged from the fire house and reached the incipient blaze. A few squirts put out the flames and a good drenching was add cd to make the job a perfect one. Many of the bystanders united in say ing that the company ought to pro- tect the wooden wall of the building by thick coating of asbestos with an air space between. This popular yer dict agrees with the plans already made by the manager of the Wild Goose plant to insure absolute safety. so that part is all settled The real cause of the fire was not the heat from the boilers fires as is supposed but from burning wood inside the con crete base. This wood was the frame around which the concrete was laid and it was not removed by the con- tractor. When it caught fire, it caused the white heat in the base of the stack which will never be so hot again
