think he is mistaken. ViVisection is
never kind, just nor necessary. 1t
is not kind to inf1ict suffering upon
another When that person or ami
NAL has never injured you or any one
else. how can the treatment accorded
it be called Just?
The suffering inflicted is usually
the most excTuciating agony and is
repeated over and over as long as
they can keep the animal alive. There
is not only the shock Of the opera
ton to overcome, but also the nat
uraI healing of the injury. Anesthet-
les are not ordinarily used, as they
cost money and trouble. The agon-
lied movements of the animal are
stiIled by a drug, which does not pre-
vent pain, however, but rather in
Creases it.
Can this be called kind? And is
it kind to repeat for experimental
purposes operations already per
formed by and reported by their
highest surgeons and which are in
general knowledge as recognized
facts?
The man who has seen much pain
is kind he says. NO. A butcher is
by law not entitled to sit on capital
punishment jury cases, for the law

The soldier becomes callOus to hOr-

to sit on certain juries, either, be-
cause he has seen much pain" and

 LONDON. June 20.--Women's suf- frage was adopted in the house of commons today by majority Of thres hundred and thirty votes after pro- longed debate. The measure was passed with practically no decided re- sstance and the adoption of the bill was foregone conclusion.
 Then tenor of thought of the mem- bers on the question was clearly demonstrated by the failure of an amendment against the proposal to grant the vote to women which was defeated by vote of three hundred and eighty five to fifty six.
 The measure as passed by the house confers the franchise on women on the same basis as men.

ONLY WOMAN BOSS IN BASEBALL WANTS
 ID SELL FRANCHISE
Mrs. BrittOn, Owner of the Cardinals, Lost S1OO,OOO by Failure to Make
 Sale

Mrs Helena Robison Britton, the only woman club owner in organized baseball, is willing to dispose of her holdings in the St. Louis Cardinals If responsible parties can be found to make her an offer. Mrs. Britton did not attend the recent meet ing of the National league In New York, but was represented by an attorney. The latter said several persons had tried to secure an option on the Cardinals, but were denied when it was learned they in tended to hawk the stock on the street. It is fully expected that the club will change ownership before the present sea- son ends.
 It became known last week that the Cardinals almost changed hands during the settlement of the war between or ganized baseball and the Federal league. Harry Sinclair, principal packer of the Feds" offered $35O,000 for the club, in- tending to turn it over to James A. Gill; more, the Federal league president. Sin clair increased his offer to 5000 but Mrs Britton refused to sell for less than s40O.0 GOO Recently an effort was made by friends of MT Britton, from whom Mrs Britton was recently divorced, to buy the club for him. but all they were able to raise was s250,0OO. and the deal fell through.
 It cost Mrs. Britton probably $lOO,0O0 for her failure to accept Snclair's offer last year, for with an international crisis threatened, it will not be so easy to find a purchaser for the club. Mrs. Britton realizes she is out of place as baseball magnate

WOOD AND DWELL ARE MENTIONED IN APROPOSED TRADE Deal May Be Arranged Between Cleveland and
 Boston American
 League Clubs

Just now it appears that Joe Wood, ranking star of the Red Sox a few sea- sons back, will be in harness again soon. Smoky Joe is in New York now He had a chat day or so ago with Pres ident Harry Frazee. but nothing definite was done toward his berth for 1917. The two are to get together again shortly for the purpose of figuring out plans for the season.
 For several months rumors have been floating around to the effect that Wood may join the Cleveland club. It was suggested that an exchange of Wood for but swift denial was flashed from Cleveland on such trade.
 The Indians have asked permission to dicker with Wood and it has been given. If Manager Fohl can arrange terms with Joe he will then face the proposition of arranging a satisfactory trade with the Red Sox. Wood says he knows of no ar engagements whereby he Is to leave the Boston club.
 Only one condition stands in the way of landing Joe a berth in short order. Is his arm in shape? If there were any positive assurance that his good right wing has fully recovered it's strength nice con- tract would be waiting him with the Red Sox. But there is no way of telling just what he may be able to do. He says his arm never felt better and believed that he can pitch as well as ever. Meantime a reasonable doubt will exist until he has had opportunity to pitch again.
