They cut down the time they usu-

Perhaps they no longer exercise
Also they eat their meals hastily
and irregularly.
As a consequence being poorly
nourished and physically soft. they
fatigue easily. Nevertheless they
compel themselves to keep grinding

They sit up unusually late. In ed.

Inevitably their power OF brain

There Was a Shot, and
The Resort Pr0prietress
Had Her Protection!

A night or two ago, down on East
Larned-st., in front of a house Of dis
repute. three revolver shots were heard.
At the third shot a man fell dead.
II seems two men had appeared at
the door of the house Of iI-repute and
had been denied admittance.
They insisted upon entering and ere
ated a disturbance.
The proprietress appealed to the po-
lice-that is TO say, she appealed TO a
policeman who was in the place and who
had been there for some time, according
TO witnesses.
The proprietress conducts an Illegal
place and the policeman was illegally
there. so perhaps it was perfectly legal
that the policeman should have offered
the place protection when the proprie-
tress appealed.
The policeman, in plain clothes, went
outside.
There was a scuffe.
The policeman drew a revolver be
longing to the People of the City Of De-
troit, and fired 1t twice, according to his
story. with the idea of intimidating the
men-on behalf of the proprietress Of
the illegal resort.
Then, he says, the revolver was
grabbed by the two men and while it
was held by all three, it was discharged
and
The proprietress of the illegal resort
had her protection
One of the men who had disturbed
her in her illicit business. lay dead.
The coroner was called.
That is legal
An inquest was held.
That is legal
The policeman was exonerated.
He killed in self-defense, the jury
said.
To kill in seh-defense is legal.
The policeman has been suspended
from the force.
That step by his superiors is legal.
He may be prosecuted by the relatives
Of the dead man.
For the relatives to satisfy themselves
that the policeman was not to blame, is
a right of relatives that is legal
But the house of prostitution-THAT
is NOT legal
II is still In operation
IL Is still receiving police protection.
This house of prostitution, In common
with hundreds of houses Of prostitution.
and in common with thousands of pros

women of Michigan will vote for
prssident of the United States in 1920
II Gov. Sleeper affixes his signature to
the Damon bill, introduced in the senate
and passed by both that body and the
house.
The women of Michigan are coming
into their rights piecemeal, but they
score a victory in this instance that Is
greater than would appear on It's face.
Rep. Flowers resolution to submit to
referendum in 1918 the question OF
equal voting rights for women on all
matters met with approval in the senate
n Il did in the lower house of the leglsla-
ture, and in view of the greatly changed
ssntiment found in the legislature, which
u but the reflection of popular sentiment
in the STATE, is certain TO meet with the
approval of the ELECTORATE.
Women Of Michigan will vote for more
than president in 1920.
They win vote on ALL Offices and ALL
matters.
The victory is a victory for the home.
This victory for women is victory
ar men-no greater victory for man
