For you, Mr.. Reader, there is in The Sum

The merchants on Sunday morning can
see the bargains that each of their competi-
tors has offered, and on Sunday evening in
THE TIMES they can DO A LITTLE BET
TER
When you read the advertisements in The
Sunday Evening Times you get the Oery
latest and best bargains.
For the children, there are the amusing pic

THEY are going to have
women on the juries out
in California.
Hurrah!
They grow big ideas in Cali
fornia as well as big trees, don't
they?
Women on juries? Why, of
course! Why not?
What man on earth would con-
sent to be tried by a jury Of
women?
Why should women want to
be tried by a jury Of men!
Pretty women? Oh, well, of
course, no elderly man who ever
sat cooped up in a jury box ever
lived who could resist a pretty wit
LESS. But that isn't the sort of
woman who wants justice, and
doeFn't care whether she gets :.
or a pretense at it by being pretty
or by being plain.
AS a matter of fact, it's as ridic-
ulous to try case with woman
in it before a man jury as it would
be to make a man cook wear pet
tiskirts just because he is doing a
woman's work.
Ne man on earth really under
stands a woman, and no woman on
earth can ever really deceive an
other woman.

Hunt for that smelling bottle
today. You will have trouble
finding it, and nine chances to ten,
when you do find it, it will be
twenty years old, handed down
with the family album and the old
what-not in the corner with the
shell Great-Uncle Amer brought
home from the South Seas, and the
picture frame Aunt Abigail made
of pine cones dipped in glue and
gilded that summer she wasn't
very well and TOOK her cough to
the Piney Woods.
Smelling bottles are no longer
the mode. No one would know
what to do with the: il they had
them.
The modern woman doesn't
faint, and she doesn't go into hys-
terics, and she doesn't shut her
self up in the house and "pine
away" the way fathers sister did
when the man sic was engaged to
sent word that it was all mistake
and went out and married the rosy
checked girl in the candy shop.
She cries a little, no doubt, when
she is alone, but it doesn't take
her very long to ,alize tat she
owes Rosy-cheeks rather a big
debt of gratitude, after an. And
if she isn't courageous and self
forgetting, really, she does her
best to make peopli think she is,
anyhow
Hurrah for California!

The Modern Woman Just As
Sane and Steady As
n Man.

That sort of woman went out
with the hoop-skirts and beau
catchers. She is as out-of-date as
the old-fashioned buggy with the
red tires and the whip in tie sock
ct tied with a red ribbon.
The modern woman is just as
sane and just as well balanced
and just as sensible as the modern
man. That may not be saying
such an awful lot, but, such as it
is, it's perfectly true, every sylla-
bic of it.
The old-fashioned woman who
was jealous Of every other woman
on earth and never could bear to
hear any praise of any one but
herself, is as extinct as the fur
bearing seal, and quite as unpleas-
ant to remember-teeth, fiippers,
Shiny creepings ov.r Shiny rocks
and all.
Don't remember what your
grandfathers told you or the
things that your -reat-grand-
uncle, who was at the same time

q great ladies' man and a terrific
woman-hater, was always saying.
They didn't mean half Of it, and
what they did mean isn't true any
longer. / know dozens and dozens
Of the prettiest girls in the world,
and they are clever and good
patured and sensible as well as
pretty.
And l know dozens and dozens
Of girls who are not pretty at all,
but they are sensible and broad
minded and tolerant. You couldn't
get one Of them to make fun of
another girl because she was jeal-
Gus Of her to save your life.
Women ar, through with that
kind Of petty smcliness. They
haven't time for it any longer.

Twenty years ago every woman
on earth who had monev enough
to keep her own pocketbook had
some kind Of a smelling bottle

she bought it herself or some one

to faint every once in a while
just as she was expected to be
small-minded and jealous, and in

BIGGEST "oFF YEAR" ELECTION
GETS AWAY WITH A BANG!

GETS AWAY WITH A BANG!
Balloting started briskly, promptly
at a. m. today, in what was sched-
uled to be the biggest "Of-year"
election Chicago has ever had. In
spite of the war situation, hot fights
between the City Hall-Tribune-Gas-
Traction crowd and the honest alder
men they are trying to displace
wrought the city to a white heat pO-
itiCally.
Never before have there been so
many issues. Each party, clique,
ward and newspaper has its object in
view And the religious bOgy is
being shaken about again in some
wards.
The scrap for and against good
city government centers about the
18th ward, where hackers of Aid.
Charles E. Merriam, rated as one Of
the best citizens Chicago has ever
had, are determined to sink the ship
Of William Fetzer, Thompson candi-
date.
The struggle in this ward will at
tract national attention among stu
dents of local civil government be-
cause of the attempt to be made to
re-elect Aid. Merriam by asking the
voters to write in his name, with a
square and cross in front of it and
the words For Alderman" above.
The panic in Fetzer headquarters
during the past week has convinced
Merriam hackers thattheir man has
a chance and they are anxious to re-
elect him now because of the public
utility fights to be waged by the
council during the next two years.
The scrap is at a fever heat in this
ward because thousands of the best
class Of citizens who have never
mixed in ward politics before, beyond
casting their own ballots, are out
making an active fight for Merriam
because of claims of his close adVis-
ers that he was robbed of the nOmi-

anu-InOmpSOn canudaJeS since the
City Hall became a factor in politics,
is the scene of a bitter ballot argu-
ment in which George Tiff, Demo-
-crat, opposes Fred Patterson.
A similar Matte is on in the 33d,
where the City Hall displaced Rob't
Buck, anti-public utility man in the
council with its own candidate, Irwin
Hazen. D. l. Jarrett, Democrat, has
the support of all anti-ThOmpsOn
factions.
Because of the heat of the argu-
ment, special efforts to prevent poll
frauds and fights have been made by
County Judge ScuIly with the aid of
States Atty Hoyne, Chief Schuettler
of the police force and the Citizens

Trouble is being watched for in the
18th, 2dth and 21st wards. In the
