Paris, Jan. 25.-President Wilson told a delegation representing the working women of France who called upon him today to urge that the peace conference include woman suf- frage among the points of settlement, that, much as he synlpathized with their cause, he felt that it was entire ly a domestic question for the several nations.

WANT MORE EGGS?
 FOOL THE CHICKENS

Lafayette, Ind, Jan. 25-Electric lights in the GOODS tC lengthen the working day for chickens will in. crease egg production, an experiment now under way at Purdue university has shown. The lights are turned on at 6 o'clock in the morning and kept burning until o'clock. In' the eve ming the lights go on at o'clock to 8 o'clock. Observation las shown that the fowls wake up earlier when the lights are on, and stay off the roosts later in the evening. They get mora exercise. eat more, and hence, lay more eggs than birds which are not fooled.
 Two pens. of 95 white ieghorns each were used in the experiment starting November I. The hens were nullets. laying about the same. number of eggs at the time. During November those in the lighted pen laid 446 eggs and those in the unlighted' coop laid 356 eggs. Figuring"the eggs at 6 cents each. which was less than the market value at the time the bullets in the lighted building produced $5. 40 more than the others. The electricity cost 6 cents day. the total for the mcnth being $1.S0, leaving net profit of $3.6O.
 In December the difference was more marked, The bullets which were fooled" laid '59S eggs, and the others 490 eggs.
 "It took seven days for the light to beein to show an influence, but the lights matured the bullets two weeks earlier" said Prof. A. G. Phillips, head of the poultry department. "The other evening I was out at the farm as,d at o'clock those in the lighted pen were scratching in the litter for grain while those in the dark pens had been on the roost for an hour and half or more." ::
 Results with pen of Barred Ply mouth Rocks were better. as thls breed apparently responded to the lights more readily than the White Leghorns!

The Razor In Civilization,

Busts of the Caesars show them to have been clean-shaven. Men in the eighteenth century relied still further on the barber's art, for they shaved their heads as well. Hogarth has painted beau ofathts period who by some chance had his wig removed, which gives him the look of an elderly baby. The uncouth appearance of the barbarians, which shocked the Romans, was due good deaf to the neglect of these wild mon to dress their hair.

Poets Take to War
IFrom the st. Louis Times1

tFrom the st. Louis Times1
What power have the sacred Nine
over their loved ones to make poets
take to war?
Sidney, writer of deathless lines,
died a gallant soldier.
Dante defended his tenets in arms.
Byron contracted a mortal fever
helping to free Greece from her
tyranny, and Burns was a member
of Scotch Dragons, with no oppor-
tunity arising for heroics that
marked him soldier. He was, how
ever, valiant, and left what is prob
ably the greatest war poem in all

And now out of the great defend
ers of humanity in the war just being
Strengthened out comes DAnnunzio
Italy's bard, fighting the fight of a
captain who will hold out "if it lasts
all summer!
Joyce Kilmer sleeps in France.
Allan Seegar is proud "a few brave
drops were ours"
And Robert Service was at the

Anti-SubHdrine Inventions

[Admiral Sims, in Worlds Work
Those were the days when the
American press was constantly call
ing upon Edison and other great
American inventors to solve this
problem. In fact, inventors of
part of two hemispheres were turn
ing out devices by the thousands. A
regular department of the Admi-
ralty, headed by Lord Fisher, had
charge of investigating their pro-
duct; in a few months it had re-
ceived and examined not far from
10000 inventions, none of which
answered the purpose, though many
OF them were exceedingly ingeni-
Gus. British naval officers were not
hostile to such projects; they de-
clared, however. that 1t would be
absurd to depend upon new devices
for defeating the German campaign.
The time element was the import
ant consideration unless the
U-boats were checked in two or
three months the Germans would
have won the war. Should Mr.. Edi-
son or any other genius invent an
antisubmarine device 1t could not
possibly serve their purpose, be-
cause long before It could be per-
fected and installed the shipping
situation would have forced an Al
lied surrender.

Whining of the Hun
IHarvey's Weeklyl

While Germany is clamoring for
ships and credit and aid in rehabil-
itation, and some sentim entail paci-
fists are favoring a worldwide first
aid to the injured" movement in her
behalf, Mr.. Morgenthau, formerly
Ambassador at Constantinople and
later head of the Commission of In
vestigation in Poland. pertinently re-
minds us that Germany came
through the war a perfect dynamo
of strength" that her human mill
tary power is practically as great as
ever" and that at the end of the
war "she withdrew in good order
to a place of safety, where the war
had not ruined her factories and
where everything was ready for re-
sumption of the industries of peace"
That is quite true. Germany is to-
day economically and industrially
far better off than either France or
Great Britain, in some respects even
than America. All her whining and
pulling a poor face is camouf1age
intended to make sentimental fools
imagine that she is unable to pay
the indemnity which has been as
sessed against her. The Blond Beast
has been scotched, but is still for
midable, and is entitled to no SYM
pathy.

HISTORIC LEAGUE PROPOSALS

1t. 1t was to embrace the nineteen
powers which he proposed, or at
least hoped would, in his time, form
the future European republic"
He drew UP five articles as the char
ter by which these nations could be
federated.
A century before Rousseau, in the
early years of the Seventeenth Gen.
tury, no less a person than Henry
~, king of France, a chivalrous and
benevolently disposed monarch, pub
licly proposed a plan for abolishing
war by the institution of an Euro
pean Congress-" or as the French
authors styled it, a Pacific Repub-
lic." in which delegates from the
several nations, then existent, were
to act as a court of arbitration in
disputes that might arise between
nation and nation.
More significant yet. is the fact
that Thomas Paine, the fiery and
patriotic phamptleteer of the Amer
lean revolution, advanced in his later
writings, after his remarkable ex-
periences in the French revolution,
the idea of a league OF nations. He
maintained nothing of a reform ma
ture in a political world ought to be
held improbable; the intrigue of
courts, by which the system of war
is kept up, he wrote, may provoke
a federation of nations to abolish it,
and an European Congress to pat
ronize the progress of free govern
ment and promote the civilization of
nations with each other. This, he
predicted, is an event nearer in
probability than once were the rev.
olutions and alliance of France and
America
