Numbered its cheers.
Gen. Pershing spoke TO three meet

Nothing MILITARY" IN
Pershing's OUn Smile

Unflinching gray eyes. the famous
"steel.trap" jaw. ruddy. tanned
checks, hair just tlnged an iron
gray, a common nose and bristling
mustache-th Gen. Pershing. But
there's one quality you rarely hear
OF. Generally Pcrshing is pictured
as the epitome OF discipline. Every
one imagines him as a stern, fierce
war lord. Yet in his eyes there
beams n light that kindlcs kindly at
the sight of friend or comrade as he
speaks. And the Pershing smile.
There's nothing Of harshness. OF mil.
itary RICHNESS. In that smile. It's
nearly as warm as the look In his
eye.

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
first portions Of the old Russian en-
pire to set up constitutional govern
ment.
The advent and progress Of suffrage
Ii Finland Is described In a com.nuni-
cation to the National Geographic go
ciety BY Baroness Aletta Korff as fol-
lows:
s'Trom an educational point Of view
the women Of Finland have been very
fortunate. as there are many excellent
schools for girls and number Of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the university examinations. Girls
were admitted to the university In
1S70. and, until the war interviewed.
