Better Stick to Men.

Clara Smith Hamon, charged with the muir
der Of Jake Hamon, millionaire Oklahoma oil
operator and politician, has let it DO known
that she will surrender to the authorities on
condition that she is given trial before jury
Of women. 80
The tragedy has become a nationwide sen-
sation. The public has been given only one
sido of the story. That has come from the
young woman. The one from whom the other
side would come is silent. He b dead. He had
powerful \friends. but for some unexplained
reason most Of these are seeking to hush the
affair. ..
Evidently Clara Smith Hsmon believes that
she would be more certain Of Justice were her
case put in the hands of women for q decision
than we're it to be tried BY mep. Yet precedent
has shown that men are moro charitable to-
ward women offenders than are juries COM
posed of members Of the opposite sex. Women
will hold that Clara Smith Hamou, knowing
that Hamon had a wife and child, can blame
only herself for the predicament in which she
found herself when, after years Of association
with the oil mAgnate, he broke his promise to
divorce his wife and marry her and decided to
return to his own family. casting her aside,
firing of her as child Of a plaything.s
Men will hold that Hamon took advantage OF
his wealth and position to easaaRs girl when
he knew that he could not without blackening
her future. make good the reseate promises
that he held out 10 her. When woman kills
man somehow men side with the woman and
members Of her own SCI don't Men dant SYM
pathize with the man who pleads that he has
been vamped. Men dent like to hear men
make such weak confessions: On the other
hand. women are meEciless to those Of their
sex whose conquests are gained through the
Establishments Of the vamp It's an intsresdng
study. but you can't change humanity.

Washington. D. C.. Dec. 6.-The
national capitol 10 soon 70 have =
nsN statue sdded to IL collsetioa
Of immoPtals. This statue will be
unlike anything else in the capitol
In that 1t viii consist Of three
heads cut out OF the top Of one
block Of marble. leaving the lower
part Of the block for pedestal.
It IL further unusual because the
thres heads are Of women.
There is now only one statue in
the capitol to the memory Of q
woman. and that il the marble fig
ure Of Frances Willard. given by
the state Of Illinois to Statuary
hall in 1906.
The new gift to the. capitol ID q
memorial to Susan B. Anthony, Lu-
cretis Mott, and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, three women who hrSt
sponsored the then forlorn cause Of
women's rights. The idea Of i'm
mortalizing these women In marble
was really conceived long ago,
when it was planned to display
busts of them 1t the Worlds fair.
Adelaide Johnson. tho sculptor.
modelled busts Of Susan Anthony
and Elizabeth Stanton from life,
but tho time for q memorial seemed
not quite ripe then, with the fem
inists' aims unachieved. Now whom
the work to which the pioneers
gave their lives fs completed. =
memorial has greater Significance,
land Miss johnson has resumed
work on the combination statue on
Ia larger scale than was first
planned.
The national woman's party Is
raising $4,000 to pay for the ma
terials. workmanship. and trans
portation Of the stone. The ma
iterial is an eight-ton block of Ital-
ian marble chosen by the sculptor
at Seravezza. A Photograph sent
from her studio At Cara, Italy
| shows the statue in process Of
completion. The three heads stand
out above the huge base Of the
slab. They are arranged in q tri-
angle all facing one way.
The sculptor has promised that
the work will be finished and sent
to Washington in time for the
opening of the women's party coll
vention, February Is. AS that day
is the 101st anniversary of Susan
Anthony's birthday, the women
| are anxious to unveil the statue in
its place in the rotunda of the cap
Iitol, then.
| Red Tape.
Much red tape is necessary In
capitol affairs, even to make a
present. The library committee in
the senate is in charge of matters
of art in the building, and Senator
Brandegee of Connecticut, chairman
of this committee, has long beer
known as a fiery opponent of suf
frage for women. During the crisi;
in the Connecticut legislature thi.
summer, however, he saw that tht
suffrage amendment was inevi.a
BILE, if not by Connecticut, then by
some other state. He therefore
came out with letter urging Con
necticut to ratify the amendment
and since then Senator Brandeget
has so far become reconciled K
women in national affairs, that HI
agreed to use his influence to havt
his committee report favorably OF
the matter of placing the memoria
in the rotunda at the next session
iof congress. With this support

Probably you could get someone to

TRY to get as much diversion as
you feel YOU need. To live on a
farm does not mean that you should
bury yourself there, il you can af-
ford to do otherwise.
Farming is such a worthwhile
occupation. Has it ever occurred

need the education very much in
order to reach the goal you have
decided upon. Now you are imma-
ture, and although you write we'll
for a girl Of your age, your stories
would not take in print because
you could not possibly breathe into

Your inspiration ia splendid and
l wish you every success. So that
you may succeed, let me urge you
again to attend college. In your
English courses you will be given
any amount of opportunity to prac-
tice writing. You can put your
ideas into words and IL you succeed

there is nothing to stand in the way
Of publishing it.

1t isn't the girls place to "get a
boy to ask you to. 30 places" When
a boy sees girl he likes particu-

Press the sides of the nail to the

once or twice a day, shaping them
as you want them to go, you may
find that they grow in the way you
desire. 1t is difficult. however, to
change natures course in such a

Consult a physician about your

why it may get red. A physician
