PRODIGY AT IOWA CITY.
Five Year Old Girl Has Mentality Of
Ten Years.

Iowa City. June 2S.--At years, lit
tie Elizabeth Benson solves problems
containing fractions. reads ponderous
books. and In every way displays the
intelligence OF a child twice her years.
While attending the women's confer
ence at the University OF Iowa. her
mother, Mrs w. Benson. of Des
Moines. had the little girl examined at
ths psychology laboratory and found
that she could answer all the questions
and solve the problems of the normal
child at the age Of 10 years and one
month. The Blnet- Simon Intelligence
tests were givons the youngster In ex-
amining her. These tests are in no
way dependent upon the schooling or
training Of the individual but are
strictly tests OF the intellect.
Little Elizabeth Is beautifully devel-
oped physically as well as mentally.
Psychologists at the university advis-
ed her mother to discourage her from
study and hold her back as much as
possible. The child amuses herself
during the summer con ference by sit
ting about the campus chuckling over
huge books. She started to school a
year ago and made three grades in nine
months. She meets strangers easily
and has the poise of a erown-up. Her
mother is the editor of the Peoples
Popular Monthly.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June es.--rhat the re-
apublicans and democrats are becom-
ing ardent courters of the women Is
evident in the political moves being
made these days. The democrats are
assidiously organising a committee OF
women to work with their state CEN
trail committee and the republicans are
planning for a similar organization.
The calling of special session OF
the legislature to pass on the matter
OF ratification of the national suffrage
amendment is looked upon as good po-
litics on the part of the republican
party. 1t is the party in control In
this state and should the legislature
promptly ratify the national amend
ment the republican party would get
the credit for it,
II is also apparent to both republic
cans and democrats that the womens
votes in Iowa next spring for presi-
dent and vice president will cut con-
siderable figure. The last Legislators
granted them the right to vote for
president and vice president. That
right has been granted in many other
states. SO any favors shown the
women now may bring return or
favors at voting time next year. ~
New Legislation Possible.
Just what the special session of the
legislature next winter to pass on code
revision will do in the way of enact
ing further legislation is now sub
ject Of speculation. There are those
who believe that this special session
will make some further changes in the
present primary election law.

sion and experienced in the matter Of
drawing up statutes may draw up a
primary election law to take the place
of the present law and put 1t up to
the next Legislature to act on.
1t is also probable that laws 'previ-
ously enacted which are not popular
may be repealed. In fact when a ses-
sion Of the legislature convenes there
are always many subjects being
brought up on which action Is urged
so that 1t IL possible the special ses-
