If a man is going to commit a crime during his lifetime the chances are that he will do it at the age of twenty nine. It is a curious fact that statis- tics have shown that man is more dan gerous at this period of his life than at any other.
 The general suppositiOn is that men have attained the highest development of their mental and physical powers at twenty-nine. and they are supposed to be able to distinguish between right and wrong and to realize the conse- quences liable to follow the induIgence of either.
 Next to the age of twenty-nine the greatest number of criminals have been aged twenty-one, twenty-seven or for ty-fve years.-London Answers.

Death Warning,

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his protest against the custom of telling a person who does not actually ask to know that he cannot recover. As that loving observer of mankind asserted, so must every one who knows whereof he speaks assert that people almost al- ways come to. understand that recOv- cry is impossible. It is rarely need- fll to tell any one that this is the case. When nature gives the warning death appears to he as little feared as sleep.

The Word Expire" "

Expire" ill its literal sense is breath ing out. Inspiration and expiration to- gether constitute respiration.

"In the light of these facts the

No More Wars, Cox Says
Governor Cox said an individual or
nation progresses in proportion to the
resistance that must be overcome. III
the success of suffragists is to be in
proportion to the resistance they had
to overcome, he added, many golden
days will be ahead of them.
He recalled that at the beginning
Of the present war nobody had a
clear understanding of the issue, but
that ii no longer is obscure. II is a
struggle for human liberty, he con-
tended, God Almighty, he predicted,
will discharge the official jailer of
the world and throw the key away.
When kings and potentates are dis
charged there will be no more wars,
he aYerred.
Women are as intent as men," he
said that the Stars and Stripes shall
not be stained with dishonor.
Unfortunately, he declared, "the
hearts of mothers will be infinitely
more than the emotions of men. And
when peace shall have come, 1t is the
mother heart that will give what we
have left to the widows and orphans
of the vanquished. That is the kind
of humanity that is sweeping -he
earth"
Cox declared that the issue now is
whether mothers who give their sons
and their all" shall have a voice in
the government that sends their sons.
adding il is unthinkable they should
be denied this right and that there
is no use in anybody trying to OBJ
scure the issue.
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, presi-
dent of Ohio suffragists, said: 'NeV-
er again will the women of the Uni
ted States have to get down on their
knees and beg the great national po-
litical parties to indorse suffrage.
These parties in 1920 will ask us to
write our own plank and will vote for
it unanimously"
Prtsiding at the meeting was for
mer Judge William Littleford, Gin
cinnati. president of the Ohio Mems
League for Equal Suffrage. He said
he believed the women of America
will have the vote before the war is
ended.
