By BELLE FLICELMAN

M 1MEN of France, of all
wv women in the world in
vested with personal
charm, surrounded with
romance, basking in chivalry, and, ac-
cordlng to tradition, radiating a sort
. Of spiritual patriotism that is their
heritage from the Maid of Orleans,
are to-day holding their thumbs and
wondering what the French Senate
will do with the suffrage bill which
recently passed the Chambre des
Deputies and is now awaiting the ac-
ton Of the upper house.
In France, as In this country, as
in England, as in every country
where woman suffrage has ever been
an issue, the general discussion of
suffrage did not sustain a logical
plane. The kind gentlemen wanted
TO give the ladies reward for their
services to their country during the
war, and so they conceded to the
cid demands Of the women. 1t has
been freely said. however, that even
Ate snvairous condescension was
displayed with the understanding
that the Senate would kill the bill
when it comes up for consideration.
Despite the fact that the bill
comes at moment in France when
the electorate is reduced by two
million men, who were killed in the
war, and French politics are in an
abnormal state, the arguments in
the Chambre dcs Deputies did not re,
fleet the abnormal times. They were
the same old arguments that have
bean used year after year in state

der with a certain warranted scep-
ticism how it comes about that a
woman's going once or twice to the
polls in every four years will disrupt
the home. AS for having different
political opinions, there are cases in
the cities, and especially in the rural
districts, where there are three gen.

Isaac Levy, South Main street jeweler.
A special Venire of 200 men was or
dered to report Tuesday morning by
Judge ]. Ed Richards, Of First criminal
court, before whom the negro slayer Is
being tried. The regular panel had
not been exhausted. but Judge Rich
ards took time by the forelock, so that
the court would not be held up for lack
Of veniremen.
The Gholston case is regarded as a
cut and dried matter, because the de-
PENDANT already has confessed to police

he killed Levy. But a plea of guilty
can not be entered in a first degree
murder case. and testimony must be
heard before the jury can return a

CLASS WILL HAVE
WOMANS DIVISION
Character Builders Decide to
Enlarge Scope to In
clude Women.

A woman's division of the Character
Builders Bible class Of the Madison
Heights Methodist church will be or
gapized within a few weeks, with the
view of carrying out the same line of
activities for the women of the church
that the Character Builders are doing
for the young men. This announcement
was made by Joseph r. Hyde at the
annual ladies' day meeting OF the class
Sunday morning.
More than 200 young women visitors
greeted the announcement with great
enthusiasm. Each year the Character
Builders invite their women friends to
the class and there is always a spirited
contest to see which member can bring
the most visitors on that day. Sam
Jackson's team won the honors Sun
day, he having invited the girls OF the
State Normal school and more h 100
accepted his invitation. Special street
car service was provided to bring the
students to the class in a body. They
were met at Madison avenu and Clay
brook street by the dormitory men or
the Y. M. c., A. and escorted to the
auditorium of the church, the regular
. classroom proving too small to hold the
attendance. All former attendance rec.
ords were broken Sunday, almost 500
being present.
Mr. Hyde said thai the mothers, wives
and sweethearts Of the Character Build
ers have been showing great interest IN
the WOTh u lIt SlhHo LIN NOW SN~
demanding that they be given a part
in 1t. On account of there being no
suitable place for the women to meet,
no action toward organizing he new
division had been taken, but now that
the class has a new home assured
provisions will be made in the new
building for the young women's depart
ment. iii -
along the same lines as the Character
Builders, it will operate as a separate
unit with its own corps OF teachers
and officers. The Character Builders
WiU assist in the organization and help
with its finances until the woman's di-
vision is firmly established.
Plans for the building campaign are
progressing nicely. The financial cam
g. naien will be launched July Is. The, fol-
lowing division and team captains have
