SUFFRAGE DEFEATED In MAINE
Vote 2 to | Against 1t. 1907
Voters Say "No"

AT the special election yesterday in
the State of Maine, woman suffrage
was defeated by a vote of 2 to l.
Returns from ABS election pre-
cincts out of 635 in the State gave:
Yes, 1905; no, 81 ,S07.
The voters went to the polls at a
special election to cast their ballots
on the question of ratifying the con-
stitutional amendment submitted TO
the people by the last Legislature
The Maine Equal Suffrage League
and the Suffrage Referendum League
of Maine have conducted an active
campaign for the amendment. The
opposing forces have been led by the
Maine Association Opposed to Suf-
frage for Women. Leaders on both
sides said they felt confident of vic
tory.

Weather Unaffected by
Firing in Europe

Finally comes the question, rs the
heavy firing on the western front the
cause of the excessive rains of last
year?n The answer is no. no more
than ii is the cause of the drought of
this summer The dates of heaviest
firing have not been accompanied nor
followed by unusual rains either in
the zone of fire or within moderate
distance.
The rains seem to have come and
gone without regard to the firing
Naturally one will associate any
stormy weather occurring near the
date of a battle with the battle, but
may easily overlook that in some
cases the rain begins before the fir
ing Or again. rain falling within two
or three days of a battle is attributed
to the battle when. in fact, the rain
area can be traced far to the west
several days in advance. A notable
instance of this confusion of event
and cause is the battle of Gettysburg,
often quoted as directly causing rain.
The first three days were clear,
while rain fell en- the fourth day, or
after the battle was over. A slight
study of weather sequence in that To-
cality will show that such sequence
is entirely normal
In the past three years there has
been unusual opportunity by explo-
sions in munition plants and depots
to study the confessional theory of
rain making. and evidence adverse to
the theory steadily accumulates. A
close watch has also been kept on
some other problems such as the au-
dibility of gun fire and the alteration
of the sound with different atmos-
pheric conditions. A cloudy sky. for
example. appears to be more favor
able for the travel of sound than a
clear sky.
Along the coast of England the
sound of the guns in France can be
heard more distinctly when light
northerly winds prevail than when
southerly winds are blowing. al
though one would epect the opposite.
1t seems that at such times there are
south winds higher up in the air and
the sound waves are refracted down
ward Such a reversal of air cur
rents is found as rule in advance of
rain. Under such conditions when
distant gun fire is heard and is fol-
loed in short time by rain, the
nearer naturally connects the rain
with the gun fire. whereas it is
question of the structure of the at
mosphere. 1t is the juxtaposition of
the air streams and not the conclusion
that results in rain Scientific
American.

NAVY HAS HELLO GIRLS
Instead OF Male Operators At The
Exchange

Male telephone operators at the
Naval Academy have been eliminated
from this branch of the service here,
and girls have been substituted :
The male man" is needed in other
lines of work and the female woman
is fast encroaching upon his preroga-
tives
At the Navy Exchange the men
have been recently eliminated and two
young girls have been appointed tele-
phone operators.
Among the recent appointments are
those of Miss Hambruck and Miss
Mary de Saints, both of whom are
now filling these positions.

"A rule compelling the pitchers TO

Guam, Put EN- On!

Shall the names of-the present
city commissioners be placed on
the cornerstone of the new mu-
nicipal garage?
That is the question which the
mayor and commissioners have
been called upon to decide, and
a delay. on their part In arriving
at a decision means a delay in
the erection of the garage.
While Mayor j. II. Simmons
and the members of the COM
mission are not averse to- hIv-
ing their own names on the
piece of granite that will serve
as a cornerstone, they want the
names of good men there.
And thereby hangs a tale. The
mayor tells it.
zone time" he began, "they
wanted to name the streets of
an addition which was taken in
as part of an Oklahoma city,
after a man. They didn't know
what kind of a man to name 1t
after until someone. suggested
that a dead man was the only
kind to name street after.
"'You see, said the Willing
Suggestor, If you name it after
live one and he doesn't live right,
! then the streets name gets IN
bad. So the best thing to do is
to name 1t after dead man,
and then no one will take ex-
ception.
The mayor called the attention
of the commissioners that he did
not mean to infer that any of the
city commissioners were dead
ones, but it is hard to erase

HIGH HEELED SHOES
PUT C0RNS ON TOES
Tells women how to dry up a
corn so it lifts out
without pain.

Modern high heeled footwear buckles
the toes and produces corns, and many
of the thousands of hospital cases of
infection and lockjaw are the result OF
woman's suicidal habit of trying to
cut away these painful pests.
For little cost there can be obtained
at any pharmacy quarter of an
ounce of a drug called freeZone which
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus without
the slightest danger or inconvenience.
A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness and shortly the entire corn. root
and all, lifts right out. 1t is a sticky
substance, which dries the moment 1t
is applied and thousands of men and
women use it because the corn
shrivels up and comes out without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or.skin. Cut this out
and try It If your corns bother you.
