CHINA GIVES HINT
 TO WOMEN VOTERS

Masculine members of American society take warning! Since women have the vote there have been many curious persons who have wondered just what the members of the dead Her sex were going to do with it.
 Dr. Yamei Kin, founder of the Pei Yang Women's Hospital at 1ientsin and the first Chinese woman to grad uate from an American college, spoke yesterday before the Women's Muni- cipal League of New York. In illus trating the personal touch which Chinese women give to their home affairs and the extremely important position the family has as a unit in China, Dr. Kin told the story of a degenerate Chinaman who had been dragged into the hire of hopeless de- gredation by the use of opium.
 Finally the family gave up all hope of his redemption. Ln the manner of Chinese families they held a counsel to determine the fate of the erring
 one. After due deliberation the fam fly counsel decided that the opium fiend was no good to himself his fam
 fly or society. They also decided that the best thing to do was to kill him Whereupon they drew up a contract ' in which they solemnly agreed to care for the family of the worthless one and urged him to commit the Chinese 1 equivalent of a Brodie off Brooklyn | Bridge. This the obliging disciple O. 1 Confucius did.
 charming lady who attended tht | Women's League luncheon seemed l much interested in the recital of thi 1 Chinamen's life and subsequent death After Dr. Kin had finished the lady i in question remarked quite placidly 1 'Why, what a perfectly nice,. prac 1 tical idea"

During President Wilson's illness, Vice President Marshall has been ad- dressed on all sorts of matters, from petitions for federal pardon to ap- pointments in the consular service, the people supposing that somehow he was the Presidents office assistant and substitute. But it is pointed out, especially since the Lansing incident, that the Vice President has walked an absolutely correct course, calling a meeting of the Cabinet only when especially invited to do so by the President.
 People with long memories are now recalling that the country was once wrought up over 'the problem of aS- similati ting our 100000 soldiers"

MAKES NEW USE OF ECHOES

"Heaving the Lead"

An inventor In Oakland. Cal. has
found new and practical use for
echoes. and as result the time may
come when the practice OF "heavlng
the lead" Mt sea will he known only
in historical novels and old maritime
history. The marimeter, rs the new
device is called. sends e sound from
the keel Of the ship to the bottom OF
the sea; the sound comes back as an
echo. and the journey. automatically
recorded on diaphragm, Is translated
into terms of length. The report shows
the depth of water between keel and
bottom. calculated from the known
speed of the sound-wave in salt water,
and the knowledge may be acquired at
the rate of four soundings a minute,
which Is very much faster than by the
older methods. The marlmeter, To be
sure, has only recently gone to sea.

DOING THINGS BY WHOLESALE
Easy to See Many Advantages in New
Methods Rapidly Being Brought
to Perfection.

Heretofore we have bought medical
service at retail. Now Glasgow is try
ing out plan To sell medical service
wholesale.
What Glasgow is striving to do Is
this: Divide the city in districts ana
provide free dispensaries and free doc
tors to all who need medical attention,
1t Is claimed that such scheme VIII
reduce the death rate, because many
poor people now skimp their families
In the matter of health precautions.
And the doctors like II, also. They
work fewer hours and q standard pay
Is guaranteed.
Withal, the Glasgow plan of whole
sale doctoring Is said TO be cheaper
than our old-fashoned retail method,
"Girard" writes in the Philadelphia
Press.
American cities have made half a
step toward such doctoring of the peo-
pie In wholesale lots.
We have boards of health ana health
bureaus. They administer in n gen.
eral way and they administer in whole
sale doses.
An order goes out and il goes for
all the people. II is economical ana
wise, as every one knows, during such
an epidemic as the "nu" was last
year.
Doctoring by, wholesale saved mil
lions OF lives in that one calamity.
Uncle Sam did the insuring of his
own soldiers by wholesale in the last
war.
Public schools supply education In
wholesale quantities.
Our spiritual wants are supplied IN
fashion wholesale through tie
churches.
So wholesale doctoring Is only an
other days march in the general di-
recti0n of socialistic empire.
