FIRE ALARM TO
 CALI OUT. GUARD
New Lsnsen- Has Adopted Call For
 Quick Mobilization.

Arrangements have been made for the employment of - the fra alarm system in New London in calling the members of the National Guard com panies to the New London arrnory. in the event Of sudden order for nobi- Hzation.
 The. alarm to be struck will in all instances begin with the sounding of seven strokes In case both compan- ies are to report to the armory the cz1I will be 7-1. Tn case only the Tenth company. IS called the alarm will be z-z. In case the First com pany alone is wanted 7-3 will be sounded.
 h. other words. when the alarm of seven. strokes is r heard it will be knewn to be a military call.s When it is followed by a single stroke every Su4rdsman Is to report. When the succeeding number to the seven is tro it will mean that the Tenth com peny has been ordered out alone. When three. strokes follow the seven the signihcance win be that the First company Is to report but not the Tehth.
 The TafranGement has been figured outS as being the speediest possible way ofs notifying the members of the cotnpany that their presence Is re- quffed atsthe point of mobilization.

"PALACES OF HELL."-I am a
young woman of "A and have had six
years experience in the show busi-
ness with burlesque and musical
comedy companies. I have been
from coast to coast and have had
stunts of all kinds tried on me by all
sorts of men.
l came to Chicago four weeks ago,
and as l had no work l thought 1
would try to enjoy myself. went
with a girl friend to a big dance hall
on the South Side and was never
so surprised in my life as I was at
the conditions which existed there.
There are two separate places, one
where liquor is sold and the other is
supposed to be better, though failed
to see it.
There were any number of prOsti-
tUtes mixed up with the young, de-
cent girls who did not know who
they were mixed up with. Young,
drunken gallants would go from hall
to hall, making vile remarks to the
girls, trying to make later dates with
them.
l had several spring now hot air
wrinkles on me, but as I am no
greenie 1 found them very amusing.
I cannot understand how a large city
like Chicago will stand for anything
so raw as this place. Across the
street are several hotels, and as there
are railways depOts nearby it is easy
to see where they get their trade.
Young girls and boys sit at tables,
drinking, cursing and putting on
rough stuff. Walters make. strange
couples acquainted. I have been in
all kinds of joints from the Barbary
Coast in Frisco to the BOWery in
New York. Usually the places are
bad or good, but these mixed Palaces
of He'll are the worst.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. - Last
evening I talked with a young lady
who has come to Chicago to prepare
for a part with a moving picture
company. She is forced to live in the
loop and to take her meals down
town. She tells me that the leading
restaurants in town refuse to serve
a woman who is unescOrted, except
ing at certain hours.
Now what l fail utterly to under
stand is why a woman, capable of
earning a good liVing-a woman who
must necessarily come in contact
with all sorts Of people of both sexes,
who is desirOus of taking her meals
in a high-class restaurant and who
has good United States money with
which to buy her foOd-shOUld not
have the privilege, so long as she
conducts herself in a dignifed man
neT, Of choosing her dining place,
without the escort Of a man. Does
the mere presence of a man at your
IdBIC give lIlC WOuldll IllC 41S1J "
take what is hers by right of the
free laws of our country?
The writer fails to see how laws
can be made so unjust for the wOm-
an. The very male presence which
makes it legal, lawful, respectable
and dignifed for woman to exercise
her rights as a citizen of the city and
of the United States is the very thing
that year by year is forcing woman
into the commercial world to try to
earn for herself the living which
most men are unwilling or incapable
of earning for her. 1 am not dyed
in-the-wOOl suffragist, but I am a
woman who has earned her own liV-
ing in Chicago for eleven years, and
I know that there must be, in this
city of ours, hundreds of women who
