THE HUMAN
 FLY" FLUNKED

Did you see the Human Fly climb to the top of the Masonic building last night? Well, if you did your eyes were surely good. When a crowd of several hundred men, women and children gather on the corner of a prominent street, and after melodious music by the band are rewarded by seeing man climb to the top of a window sill by holding himself tight, and come down completely exhausted, one is tempted to speak words not permissible in the presence of ladies. It was great, that stunt Of the Human Fly, and the citizens of Malvern were surely pleased with this great feat on the part of the fly. The main trouble, with the fly was, his wings were clipped, and the only thing he needed to climb to the top of the building, was a good long ladder.
 The public will please forgive for what this paper said about the fly yesterday. We were de- ceived by newspaper write-ups, which looked genuine, and it was not our intention to intention ally inislead the public. As a climber of buildings, in Malvern at least, the Human Fly, was q complete, absolute and disap- pointing failure.

PAPER READ BEFORE
 COUNTRY CLUB
By Mrs s. P. Garden

The suffrage movement, with all that 1t implies with freedom for self development is clarion call to the woman of today. It bids her stand up and think for herself and meet the responsibilities of a full grown being and take her share of making the world about her. Walt Whitman said, T see her where she stands less pro- teeted than ever, and yet more pro- teeted than ever" More protected be- cause there will be less need of shield ing her in world that has been humanized by woman's untrammeld influence. This is the day for woman's movement for which the ages have waited. How swiftly in a blinding flash of gun powder has been brought to pass that which before was only a dream of the far off future As the cities and cathedfals of the past are being laid in ruins, so is the social order of yesterday being razed in a revolution that must be followed by q reconstruction. Imagine the effect up- on men, had they from infancy been subjected to the narrowing ossifying processes applied to women for centuries past; mental and moral muscles grow flabby from disuse, just as physical muscles do. Woman's suffrage will tend to make women talk about things that men like to talk about, and that men will not have to leave home in the evenings in order to discuss these things It will give women better idea of mans work and q better appreciation of it. The dignity of women in the home will increase when she is given the vote. 1t will assist her iii training her children in their highest duty-that of being a proper American citizen. The doors of shop and factory and labora- tory and study have swung open as if by magic and the women have en- tered. There are hundreds of thou sands of women in Europe in the fields and factories. They are mining coal and handling freights and cleaning the streets. Thirteen hundred licensed women chauffers are operating taxi cabs in Paris. Motor trucks, omni- buses and street cares are now run
 by women. In England, Germany, France and Russia they are rapidly replacing men in the railways, the telegraph, telephone and mail service. London, Paris and Berlin have thou sands of women police. All the lead ing banking institutions of Germany are employing them. The demand for women doctors on the battle fields is even exceeded by the demands for her service in the hospitals. 1t is said the women drivers, parters and packeres who came to their duties pale, and weak, are now ruddy-faced and grow
 ing more robust with each days work. The street cleaners are benefited in health due to out door employment, and the streets are beneftted-they are cleaner. At a recent annual con- vention of the Tenn. Equal Suffrage Association was luncheon given in honor of MT. and Mrs. William Jen- nings Bryan at the Hotel Hermitage where covers were laid for 268 guests, including the members of the Legisla- ture. The principal speaker was Mrs. Bryan. In introducing Mrs. Bryan, Mr. Bryan paid her most beautiful

tribute. q can give you an example that will entirely disprove the point that suffrage takes woman from her home ties and family life". He told of Mrs. Bryan's caring for her ln- valid mother and blind father and the rearing of three children without much assistance from him. He said if they turned out well she was the one to be praised, and if they did not he was the one to be blamed. Mrs. Bryan has been a practicing attorney and it is said she has helped Mr. Bryan in the preparation of many of his famous speeches. Women have no desire to take mans place; they want to work beside the man and help to do the things that he fails to do. Many civic and reform movements have been solved by women. where the men have failed. simply because women are so that they see things from different angle from men,.
