by side with her husband in this revo-
luton.
She speaks at meetings, votes, leads
and writes for the scores of little
newspapers that have sprung up all
over Russia, juts is if she were an or
ainary male human being. In the
imple, child-like Russian mind, no
question seems to have arisen as to
tie rights of women. When asked
whether she would vote in Russia,
yhe Russian woman realized immedi-
ately that was either an English
man or an American.
"Why, theses no question about it."

things in Russia to fight for than the
hight to vote. We've fought side by

With no question Of sex involved. We
nave gone to jail and we've died and
we've even taken our turns at assas-
siuations. Only an Anglo-Saxon, if

approached four of the women
&ho sat at the various committee
sables around the duma building and
plainly put to each one of them this
question:
MADAME, have you ever been in
jail?"
They had, all four of them. They
told their stories with proud smiles
They had not been prisoners in the
Cat and Mouse fashion in which the
1ffragettes Of London had been jail
ed, nor in the spotlight manner in
which Mrs. Sanger and The birth-con-
.rol advocates in New York have lin
gered for a few weeks at time be
hind bars-but in the way of the
Russian czar, with cold, dark cells
and silence; little food and long,
lonely hopeless years of waiting.
"Has any woman in Russia ever
been put into jail for demanding wo-
mems rights?" I asked one of these
women who had been.-jaiIed for part
in the stolypin assassination. She
was sitting in the office Of the new
national peasants union, presiding
over the book in which the incoming
pedhdnt "Vf, ts.------s--. avery mart of
Russia were entering their names.
Never never" she said emphatic
ally. That's one crime that has
never been charged against the czar.
But we Russian women haven't been
ike the American and English wo-
men. The rights Of all human beings,
men and women, have been at stake
in Russia and the men and women
have been fighting side by side for
Shem. All of us, men and women,
have considered ourselves as human
beings. without any sex differences.
Now that the revolution is won, men
and women are still side by side. No
body has raised the question of wo-
mems rights in the revolution until
you American and English newspaper
men came along"
"But are you women sure that you
will be allowed to vote in the new
government"
"Why, just as sure as the men
are. The question isn't even raised,
tell you. 1t hasn't occurred to any
body that women might not vote.'

Good Roads Movement
Nav Get Setback

Very little is heard Of good roads
propaganda nowadays, and on the
other hand there is a prospect that
serious crisis will develop before long
that will operate against the move
ment. for many miles of road have
been built with funds secured by the
sale of 2s-year bonds which will be en-
tirely worn out in ten years, and the
communities will be burdened by inter
est for fifteen years on roads that have
ceased TO exist.
The condition arises from two causes:
First. because the public does not learn
that it is equally as important TO pro-
vide for the maintenance Of road as
TO build il; and second, because many
Of these roads were built under the SUI
pervision of politicians who know moth
ing Of road building, and who care only
for the perquisites they extract from
the contractors. Thousands OF miles OF
roads have been accepted by county
officials that appear beautiful 70 the
eve when new, but which have wnolIy
inadequate foundations, and are con-
structed Of improper materials. d,
In many cases, moreover misdlrected
enthusiasm has led officials TO build
more miles than the funds available
Justify, with the result OF himsy CON
struction that cannot be expected 70
last. The obvious remedies are 70 ellm-
mate the politician, build less mileage
at a time, but build that substantially,
and, most important Of all, provide Tor
con slant maintenance of periodic re-
building Scientific American.

German Lauds Rival Filters

In recent interview with Dutch
journalist, General Won Hoeppner, COM
mander in chief of the German air
service, stated that the German avia-
tors have won the supremacy over their
enemies. although the Entente airmen
on the Western front were numerically
superior
On the Eastern front, however, Ger
many is rather stronger, while in The
Balkans the balance is again in favor
Of the enemy. The British, ne said,
showed in air fights that they are OF
the Germanic race, for they seek fight,
and fight until either they or their
opponents are killed. German aero
plsres generally are better than those
Of the enemy, though the new English
Sopwith triplanes are excellent. The
technical preparedness of the French
he described as middling, and that of
the British inferior. while we Ger
mars consider every flight as a mill
tarv act" stated the general, "for the
British flying is but sport, and, when
il comes TO a fight, good sport The
German is a soldier first. Our German
military training cannot be outdone
by Britain's three years war waging."

House Used as Ambush in
Barcelona Demolished
by Cannon
Government Confident
Premier Dato Says He Be-
lieves Order Will Be
Restored Soon

MADRID, Aug. 15.-Premier Dato at
noon to-day announced that artillery
had been used in Barcelona against a
house in the Paseo de Gracia, from
which hidden revolutionaries had fired
upon and killed Captain Justo Fer
nandez and wounded three soldiers.
The house was demolished and a num-
Der Of its inmates were killed or
wounded.
Artillery also was used at Sabadell,
in Catalonia, ten miles northwest Of
Barcelona, where two civil guards were
killed and three wounded and a large
number of strikers were killed or
wounded in the fighting. Reinforce
ments have been sent 20 Sabadell.
Premier Dato said the general strike
had been a failure, since the revolu-
tionaries had been unable 70 bring
about the paralysis of any public ser
vice. The government was confident,
ne said, of the support of public opin-
ion. and he believed order would be
rapidly restored.
The Premier added that the police
had captured secret codes used by the
revolutionaries to communicate with
the different provinces and other
papers which gave the key to the entire
movement.
The city was more calm to-day than
Yesterday.

Hun Aeros of Many Hues

Writing recently Of the German fight

"The Daily Express" states that the
Germans are resorting TO the most vivid
hues in cannonfaging their machines,
at is like going out to fight birds OF
paradise" he was told by one of the
R. F. c. pilots. who complained face
tiously that the dazzling tints Of the
Albatros and Aviatik machines nearly
blinded him.
Never has there Deen such an orgy
of kaleidoscope effects on the earth or
above it, The Hun has taken TO daub-
ing his machines Enthusiastically, after
the manner of savage who hopes to
brighten his foe TO death. A child let
loose with a box of paints could not
achieve more lurid results. One Brit
ish aviator who went out one morning

red body and wings that were green on
top and blue underneath. One German
squadron encountered recently was
composed Of machines painted white,
red and green and one Of khaki color,
with greenish grey wings.
Individual fiers have included n
green aeroplane with a yellow nose,
another with a red body. green wings
and yellow stripes, another with a
green body and yellow wings, another
with a scarlet body. brown tail and red
dish brown wings, with white crosses
on a bright green background; another
with a yellow body and red wings, with
light white markings; a machine with
one green and one white wing, and
others with silver disks. yellow noses
and blue tails.
at seems just possible that the boche
pilots are experimenting with colored
aeroplanes" remarks the editor of The
Aeroplane" in commenting on Mr.. Phil
Iip's dispatch, "to see whether varying
eolors have any effect upon the range

whether the use Of brilliantly varie-
gated stripes cramps their vision in

Nations Housewives
Urged to Can Foods

Mrs. Housewife, are you canning
and preserving perishabie fruits ana
vegetables now?"
That is the question sent out from
the nations capital by Secretary Hous-
ton Of the Department Of Agriculture.
"The Department Of Agriculture re-
allies it is the desire Of every woman
in the country to serve the nation IN
this great crisis" said Secretary HouS-
ton, land | wish therefore TO suggest
particular ways in which women can
render a definite national service. l
urge not only that every home assist IN
the conservation of the surplus perish
able fruits and vegetables by canning
preserving, picking, drying and stor,,
ing. but also that every experienced
woman place her knowledge at the dis
posal of her neighbors.
"At the beginning of the war the
farmer and gardener responded prompt
ly 20 the appeal issued by the Presl-
dent, and nature has been bountltIl
Now is the time for the consumers 70
do their share.
Specifically. may | no, suggest that
every woman take steps 70 do her share
70 call meetings Of members OF organl-
cations TO which she belongs for the
discussion of the subject OF the con-
servation of perishable products Al
these meetings those members OF the
organizations or others who are known
70 De skilled in canning. preserving
etc. might be invited 20 give demon

community generally may benefit by
these gatherings, | suggest that through
local newspapers invitations be extend
ed 10 the public to attend, and that the
local press be asked 20 report the
meetings. so that the propaganda may
be spread among those not present
More than one meeting should be held
In fact. during the next several weeks
when the harvesting season IS at its
height, frequent gatherings of this kind
would be helpful.
1T seems to me desirable also that
women's organizations should cooperate
