SO WHY NOT BUILD SWIMMING TANKS IN
 CAPITOL BUILDING?

A bill for the remodeling of the cap llol building Is being prepared by Col onel Ingalls,, adjutant general The proposed legislation would not have been suggested, or rather, it would not nave suggested itself, except under sucn cllmat1c conditions as have prevailed Tor the last two weeks.
 With the weather what it has been, and Is, and is likely to be for some time unless a storm intervenes and breaks the backbone of the summer, Colonel Ingalls, looked upon that great well in the rotunda of the capitol build ing as space that might be put to much use. It is probably 25 or 30 feet in diameter and serves no other purpose than that of a vista from the fourth floor to the basement. There is noth- ing about the scenery that justifies such waste of space
 It then occurred to Colonel IngaJ1s that three commodious swimming tanks could be installed, one for each of the floors. Each could be given a depth of six or eight feet.
 Each of them would be large enough to accommodate all the attaches of the offices on each of the floors, those of the basement or first floor being ad-

mitted to the tanks of any of the upper floors. Another advantage Of this arrangement beside the promotion of comfort, would be the encourage ment of the attaches to come to thelr work in bathing suits, one-piece or otherwise, to the saving of other more expensive clothing. The representative elect of the legislative district in which the capitol is situated is expected to introduce this bill and successfully carry it through the committees and it's various readings, if he ever expects to be elected to any other office.

The stars tremendous following is certain to find it every Dit as interest compelling and thrilling as her recent triumph, Sahara"
 Louise Glaum plays the role of So- mia, beautiful young Londoner reared by a stranger in ignorance of the fact that she is the daughter of the Lone Wolf, and now the victim of the schem- ing Prince Victor, leader of band or desperate plunderers because of an ancient feud between the prince ana The Lone Wolf over her mother, one- time wife of the prince. At the princes home she finds a good friend in Roger Karsla1ze, posing as a secretary but in reality a Scotland Yard man seeking to trap the bandit chieftain and his fol- lowers. Karlake has brought Sonia to the home of the prince. who claims to be her father in his scheme to ensnare the Lone Wolf Through the aid of Karslake, who has grown to love Sonia, the princes crafty enemy is installed in Victor's home as the butler.
 That night the prince is summoned to the Limehouse rendezvous of the band and, Sonia disguised as a Chinese maid, accompanies him as messenger There she learns of Victor'S plottings to enable Karslake to assemble his men for a roundup This is accomplished but not until after a series of thrilling gun fights in which Prince Victor is killed and a battle with flames in which Sonia, trapped on the roof of the fire swept structure, is rescued by Karslake with the aid of a derrick from a pass ing steamer

remote possibility. When l think of
the progress made by the cause
since 1912, it seems more wonderful
than a tale out of the Arabian
Nights.
Mrs. Clark is fighter. That is
made plain by the work she has done
in the interest of suffrage and by the
advice she has given its leaders
Take, for instance, this incident, as
related in her own words:
"In 1912 l was one of the few
women in the Democratic ranks who
dared to stand up and be counted
for suffrage. At this time Mrs. Ly-
dia Wickcliffe Holmes, now a leader
in the fight for ratification in Lou
isiana, was the wife Of a member OF
congress from that state, which was
considered the most conservative
state in the union. She asked me to
tell her what argument she should
use to induce the southern men to
be favorable to suffrage. My re-
ply was:
"'Tell them suffrage is coming
whether they want it or not and they
may as we'll get used to it; that they
may get up and denounce suffrage at
the demand of their districts, but
no man who is running for president
on either ticket will thank any man
in his own party to rise up in con-
gresss and slap a million voters in
the face, and every man of them
(when the women of their district
vote) will be vociferous for suf-
frage.'"
Mrs. Clark may be called the dean
of women in politics at the national
capital, for her experience covers a
period of twenty-five years or more,
and her remarkable sense of humor
has equipped her for keen enjoyment
of political life. For instance, re-
ferring to the rapidity with which
suffrage has advanced in popularity,
she said:
ut has been going by leaps and
bounds but every time it leaps or
bounds it can look sidewise and see
the two faithful old parties leaping
and bounding too.
1T was certainly sight for the
gods to see not long ago in Sunday
supplement picture of a daring Re-
publican member of the West Vir-
ginia legislature who posed for a
photograph, flying to vote for rati-
fication of suffrage"
Mrs. Clark refuses to appropriate
to herself any of the credit for the
success of woman suffrage in recent
years.
"If l were asked to name one wom-
an who has done the most to ad-
vance suffrage in recent years. said
Mrs. Clark, 81 would have to choose
between Mrs. Wadsworth, the wife Of
Senator Wadsworth, and Miss Alice
Paul. Each one has assisted in
peculiar way along contrary methods
to attract attention. That was all
that was necessary, for when one
stops, looks and listens to arguments
for or against suffrage the audience

EXPECTS MUCH
FROM SUFFRAGE
Mrs. Champ Clark Gives
Views on Votes
for Women

WASHINGTON. - Disappointed
yet elated.
This is the rather unusual state of
mind of Mrs. Champ Clark with ref
erence to the suffrage situation
The wife of the veteran Democrat
ic leader and former speaker of the
house, and herself a pioneer suffra-
gist, gave her views to an inter-
viewer on things in general and suf-
frage in particular. She admitted
she was disappointed that the
amendment giving the vote to her
sex has failed as yet of ratification
in the thirty-sixth state, and added:
But feel immensely gratified to
think we came so near the achieve
ment of what l considered at bets a

usually decides for the amendment,
and where the vanguard halts to-
day the rear will halt tomorrow -
Too practical to expect immediate
hesults, Mrs. Clark firmly believes,
nevertheless, that ultimately the CO.
operation of men and women will
lead to better things. She said:
I'VE need not expect the milleni-
UNI as the result of either the Chi
cago or San Francisco conventions,
so far as women's participation in
these conflicts is concerned. The
world was not built in day, and
women as we'll as men have their
limitations; but even look-in by a
few women delegates, assisted on the
outside by the determined pickets,
will have an influence in the right
direction.
What / very much desire to see,"
Mrs. Clark continued, lis unity of
work between men and women, who
work together for the economic, CIV
il and religious welfare of the race.
/ want to see women in political life.
I want to see them actively engaged
in perfecting legislation which will
provide better municipal housekeep-
ing. An organized and formal effort
on the part of women would add but
one more witness to those who have
urged more vital international rela
lions between governments.
81 think the lesson taught by the
war is written so large that he who
runs may read. That is, no nation
has monopoly on all the virtues
and all of the patriotism, and never
in history has there been so great a
need for the exercise of tolerance to-
ward those who may differ from us
in opinion.
"No, I am not expecting the mil
lenium to be ushered in, no matter
which party IL victorious in Novem-
Der. But do believe in the unit
mate decency Of things, and have
faith that the women and men work
ing together will evolve a better way
of settling disputes than the exter-
mination Of each other"

DOUCHB0Y BESTS
PARIS LANDLORD
Has Last, Best Laugh
Over Slick House
Owner

PARIS. - Gerald Kiley, former
Chicago Examiner reporter, then
member of the A. e. F., then dance
king of Paris, and now head Of the
Dixie Ice Cream company, which
has the monopoly for the sale Of
American ice cream in France, has
once more sprung into the limelight
by putting his landlord in Jail.
Thousands of evicted tenants in
America may want to know how the
trick was pulled. Here it is, then,
in Gerald's own words:
II have an apartment at No. IS
Rue des Danes. During the war
my rental remained at pre-war figure
1900 francs. Last year 1t was
raised to $500, to which raise I sub
mitted because the increase in prices
generally justified it.
"A month or so ago, however, my
landlord came to me again and said
that as my lease would be up in May
would have to pay 5000 francs a
year or get out. He talked such fast
French l couldn't get him, so l
asked my friend Suzanne Gauthier,
the opera singer who lives in the
same building, to help me out. Su-
zanne advised me not to pay.
THE day l was to be put out the
landlord came around and told Mile.
Gauthier that if l would pay him
bride of 1000 francs l could have
two-year lease at 1000 francs.
Promising to pay him we went down
to the bureau Of frauds, who gave us
two detectives. Posting them behind
the door entered the landlords Of
flee and handed him 5000 francs, the
number of the bills for which had
been previously taken by the de-
tectives, and received in exchange
the lease.
When he had put the money in
the safe the landlord turned to me
and grinned.
"'You fool Americans he said,
that lease gave you isn't worth the
paper it's written on. 1t isn't legal.
! can throw you out tomorrow.
Just a little mistake you've
made told him, as the door opened
and the cops walked in. It's the
fool American who's going to do the
throwing-he's going to throw you
into jail
"The detectives opened the safe,
found the money, restored it to me,
and the next day the judge gave the
landlord four months to think it
over.
Now I've got two-year lease for
nothing"

JOKE 5000 YEARS OLD
CRACKS-ITS FRANIER
TOO DEAD TO LAUGH

LONDON.-A practical joke plan
ned by the ancient Egyptians which
has taken 5000 years to come to frui-
tion is revealed by Professor Flinders
Petrie the famous Psychologist.
While we were trying to find a
way into queens pyramid" he
said, I'VE discovered on a rock face
a door which was so beautifully and
exactly fitted that it was difficult to
see the joints. We Immediately set
to work on this thinking that we had
found at last an entrance to the
inner chambers.
After a considerable amount of
work we removed the door and found
solid rock!
1T was carefully arranged blind
to balk anyone who wanted to find
the entrance into the royal tombs,
and it had been made about 5000
B. C. by someone with a sense of
humor."
