Women in the Hall of Fame.

Two steps. separated by eighteen
years. have been required to wipe
out the invidious distinction between
men and women in the Hall of Fame
at University Heights. In 1900. when
the Hall of Fame was established, it
was exclusively a male institution.
Women were ignored. There was no
provision for their election. In 1904
they were admitted to the outer pre-
cincts of the temple by the setting
aside of special corridor. kind
of annex, for those who might be
chosen by the electors. This half ad-
mission, with it's careful segregation
of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Lyon
and Alice Freeman Palmer from
George Washington, Abraham Lin
coin and Horace Mann. gave a semi
comic aspect to the hall and was the
cause of regular jesting by visitors
who suddenly came upon the rather
forlorn looking group of women so
obviously excluded from the main
tent.
The last barrier has now been re-
moved by abandonment of the sepa-
rate section for women and of all
discrimination against them in future
elections.-New York Post.

Setting the Worlds Clocks.

The Annapolis naval radio station
has succeeded in sending a time sig
nal around the earth. In an expert
ment a few days ago it flashed the
correct time to Australian stations,
the waves reaching the antipodes
from all directions. Time elapsed
between the sending of the signal
and it's receipt on the opposite side
of the earth was one-fifteenth of a
second.
1t is possible now to set all the
clocks in the world from one time

Retiring From Politics.

Gov. Sproul, it is announced, will
at the end of his term at Harrisburg
retire from politics.
Doubtless he feels that way now.
He has had marked success in Penn
sylvania affairs. His name has been
at the top at home for some time. His
friends mentioned him for President
two years ago. He has appointed two
United States senators, and might
have taken one Of the places for him
self.
His recent indirect defeat, therefore.
in the Pennsylvania primaries must
have Jared him considerably.
But he will probably recover. AS
politicians are reckoned, he is young
man-much too young to be thinking
Of the shelf, or Of permitting others
to be thinking Of it for him. He will
try again when the present smart has
eased off.
The fact is that a man who has
succeeded in politics, held high office,
improved opportunities for studying
public affairs and mastered them, owes
it to the public as well as to himself
to keep on keeping on" His expert
ence and the capacity deriving from
it are valuable to the public.
The lure Of politics is strong, and
maybe is stronger now than for years
past. There is so much in the scale,
and so much Of it is new and of large
and wide import, men who know the
processes Of government and have
helped to make the wheels go round
feel an unusual interest in political
questions and are eager for opportu-
nifty to try their hands at shaping
things.

The problem Of finding space In the

OF public hearings simultaneously is
one requiring early solution. The pres

proved none too large to accommodate
the crowds of tenants. lawyers and in

important hearings in the past. With
possibly two. three or more of these
hearings progressing at once. the prob

81 ,000, 100000 FOR SODAS
IN AMERICA THIS YEAR

The American soda fountain will
collect a tribute this year of about
$1,OO0,0 100000 which makes the money
spent for most luxuries seem trifing
by comparison. The soda habit has
been growing steadily for years, and
prohibition has served to leave it
practically without rival
There are. more than 100000 soda
fountains in operation throughout the
United States.
The appeal of the soda fountain is
attributed by some to the fact that
the public, deprived of alcohol, nat
urally Graves sugar in some form. A
great variety Of sweet drinks and
dishes which appeal both to the palate
and the eye, has been contrived to
meet this demand. Even in hot
weather the thirst-quenching drinks,
such as old-fashioned lemonade, are
not popular. 1t was predicted before
prohibition that a variety of drinks
would be devised for men to take the
place of alcohol, but these have not
endured.
To the surprise of the soda water
purveyors, the greatest demand has
been for ice cream or drinks and
dishes in which it is an ingredient.
New Workers probably are the great
est consumers Of ice cream per capita
in the world, for the annual supply is
about 300,000,000 gallons.
