FINLAND: WHERE WOMEN
WON VOTE BY HELPING
SETTLE A STRIKE

Victory for woman suffrage in the
United States adds interest to the ex-
periences Of Finland, where women
won the franchise by their part in quiz
citing labor troubles similar to those
which now assail the United States.
incidentally, Finland was one Of the
frat portions Of the old Russian en-
pire to set up constitutional govern
mene-
The advent and progress Of suffrage
in Finland is described in communi-
cation to the National Geographic So
ciety by Baroness Aletta Korff as fol-
lows:
"From an educational point of view
the women Of Finland have been very
fortunate, as there are many excellent
schools for girls and a number of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the university examinations. Girls
were admitted to the university in
1873, and, until the war interviewed,
Monkey Bread.
Monkey bread comes from native
tree of tropical Africa and the East

/ iansonia. The fruit of this tree is
about the size Of citron. and the
bruised leaves are often mixed with
the food of inhabitants of tropical AZ
Hca for their medicinal value.
Wearing Of Gloves.
a Gloves were used as far back as the
time of the cave dwelers, but they
were rot worn by al classes Of people
until Che sixteenth century.

MILLIONS OF GALS.
 OF WHLSkEY HELD
Kentucky Distillers Left With
 sf.as Big Supply

Louisville, Ny. Jan 16.-kentuclly distiliers still held several million gallons of liquor today: the last day before constitutional prohibi was initiated. notwithstanding attempts to export il. Last unofficial figures were that 35.00O,OO gallons valued at ap- proXimately S40O. O.O0Q.000 remained in bonded warehouses It's fate was in some doubt. Unless connscated by the government, it was said, much of it proba bly, will be sold for medicinal purposes.
 Nhiskey interests of this state waited until carly December in the belief that the president, the supreme court or congress would lift the war time prohibition ban. When the su- preme court held the law constitu tional and neither he president nor congress raised the ban, they pre- pared for shipment of their stocks to foreign countries. but were said to have been only nominally successful.
 About that time some Kentucky in- t>rests announced. following a simi- lar announcement in Chicago, that they would institute a suit in the court of claims, Washington, late this month or early February in an eff fort to secure reim bursemcnt from the government for the whiskey that remained in the country after today.
 One almost immediate result of the permanent ban clamped down today may be the closing for good of the 300 Louisville saloons that survived the wartime law by conversion into soft drink dispensories. number of the proprietors declared today that they cannot operate under present [ r. I-.- -s,, new businesses.
 Meantime. the real work of prohibi- ton enforcement officers began to- day. They were said to be ready to suppress all violations of the law in this state.

WATERSHED PROBLEM AGAIN
Grcatorcx Threatens to Sell Timber on His Property Unless City Takes Steps to Purchase at Once.

George GreatoreX, owner of large stretch of land on the West canal watershed, has written to Mayor Quigley to notify him that unless inn mediate action is taken by the city in the way of purchasing that prop erty, the option now held by the city will be withdrawn. If the option IS withdrawn, GreatoreN plans to place the property on the market for the sale of it's timber When the land is stripped of it's timber it will no longer be of use as watershed. The matter has been discussed several times at meetings Of the board Of finance and taxation but action was held up. Mayor Quigley has approved the purchase by signing check for the city but as it has not the ap- proval of the board of finance and taxation. the deal is yet incomplete.

MORE ABOUT THE
 ROCKET TO THE MOON
Admiral Sims Believes One Will As ccnd in :. Vacuum and Writes
 on Subject.

New York. Jan. 16.-Eear Admiral Wm. <. Sims today announced his belief in the possibility of a rocket reaching the moon from the earth. In answer to an editorial expression or incredulity to the powers of the device invented by Prof. R. II. Goddard of Clark college and tested under the auspices of the Smithson- ian institution the admiral wrote to a neWSpape" q little essay about what q projecticle will do in vacuum.
 When he was in the naval aca denny his class was asked the following question in examination:
 Twill rocket ascend in vacuum: Ii so. why; if not, why?' Feeling ran high on the subject. Advocates of both sides paraded with banners reading. Tt will go up," and "It won't go up."
 Then the professor proved with a water bottle the lctcr says, that a rocket would ascend in a vacuum for the same reason that q gun would Kick If fired in . vacuum and that the propellinS force of a rocket Was nothing but a continuous kick.
 If this is true,''' the letter con tinues. "the rocket referred to will ascend after. passing above the was correct in his assumption that an explosion from his huge projectile would produce a kick while circling the moon and thus release it from the attraction of that satellite..''

NEW ANAESTHETIC
 COMING INTO USE
Discovery Will Aid in Dentistry Operation and Obstetrical Cases:
 Produces No Harmful Effects

Wilmington, Del. Jan. 16-De- velopment of a new anaesthetic which eliminates pain without loss of con- sciousnesS and produces virtually no nausea was announced here today by F. I. Du Pont de Nemeurs and Go. The discovery, it was claimed, would permit elimination of pain and not only in obstetrical cases and dressing of wounds but in dentistry.
 The -anaesthetic was described as a new type of ether-highly refined and modified by addition of. certain gases which give to it the new and desirable characteristics.
 Its ability to produce insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness opens up an entirely new field of use fuIness, including the large class of operations which are now performed without any attempt whatever to eliminate pain," said the companys announcement.
 "The most common of these are in render painless such operations as nerve treating. removal of roots and drilling and filling of teeth and in obstetrical cases where only a small amount of ether is required to re- lieye the pain.
 Tt is also especially suited to re- lieving suffering in such painful prac- tices as sewing of wounds, opening and treatment of a abscesses and chang ing of packigs and dressings. Tests which have been conducted with the new ether at various hospitals and clinics have demonstrated that it is practical and that it's use is followed by no undesirable effects"

SEARCH FOR CAUSE
 OF NEW HAVEN FIRE
Inquiry to Investigate start of Blaze Which Destroyed Chamber of Com mcrcc Building.

New Haven, Jan. 16.-An inquiry into the fire of yesterday in the Cham Der of Commerce building was begun by Coroner Mix today. based on the deaths of Charles w. E,VartS, county health officer. from molle. and Got tardo Raschetti. an engineer The building was temporarily closed to tenants, of whom there are some three hundred. in addition to several scores of students in two business schools. Fire Marshal Perkins also looked into the fire cause.
 Tho sprepmlnarN survey of the base ment indicated that the fire started among materials in the stock rooms of one Of the stores. The supposed explosion of boiler proved to be merely the explosion of an auxiliary heater Whic!i supplied running hot running water to offices. If there was any fire in the elevator shafts it was merely d flare which followed the grease on the mecha nism and cears of the elevator cages, and did not last more tran a minute or two. The smoke. however. was very dense and it was drawn to the upper floors. Had the basement door to the elevator shaft been closed it is likely that lit tie smoke would have found it's way to the offices. and the fire would have been kept within the concrete walls of the basement,
