TOLEDO sswILD WOMAN
 REFUSES TO PAY FINE

Toledo, Aug. 14.-Police here got
 a. new version as to what wild wo-
 man is when they were compelled to
 chase all over town in an attempt to
 arrest Helen McCarty, 24. for driving
 a machine while she is alleged to have
 been intoxicated. With her bobbed auburn hair flying in the breeze, honking her horn, shrieking wildly, racing at 40 miles an hour in the south end and making pedestrians scatter, Miss McCarty was finally brought to a standstin when the police machine was driven in front of her own, according to oh1- cers.
 The patrol wagon was called and she remonstrated against riding in 1t by kicking out glass in the rear door on the way to the station. In Police Court she answered not guilty to all charges and claimed po- lice had a grudge against her. Whats your name?" asked Judge
 Young.
 That's none of your business" she shouted
 The judge then fined her s25 for | driving while she is alleged, to have
 been Intoxicated and S15 on a disturb ance charge. She refused to pay and | told the court to go where it's hot
 She was taken to the Detention Home | to think it over. Unless the fine is | paid she will have to go to the work | house.

Good Russian
 Crops Will Not
 Help Poor Jews

Odessa, Russia.-Jews of America who have contributed to the work of the American Jewish Joint Distribu- tion Committee in this country are warned by Dr. Joseph Rosen. their representative here, against accepting the favorable crop reports from cer- tain sectors of Russia as an assur- ance that their task has ended.
 In a. statement today pr. Rosen de- clared that even if enough grain were harvested to provide bread for every person in Russia the suffering among the Jews would be acute for some time to come.
 Tt must be remembered" he said, that the peasants in rural districts will have the grain. It will improve their condition without question, but what of the great majority of the Jewish population? These people live in the cities and more congested d towns and are without funds with which to buy bread when 1t becomes available.
 And the scarcity of food is but an incidental consideration. There is great need for clothing and shoes. Ninety per cent. of the Jewish popu- laton is in rags. At this time of the year scanty clothing means cNnfort rather than hardship, but Russian winters are severe and unless such supplies are provided our people will not survive"

 g know about our own women, but in America you have so many k1nds- very active and modern ones in New York, who are not bound by the old cust oms and anticipated ideas, and ana strangely reacionary, seriously rel1g- ious ones around old Boston, and still another kind in Washington.
 'T can't talk about them all, there are So many. At least, you never had the kind of militant sufrag1sts in America that we had here in Eng land" And all the old quarrel of the Women's Freedom League. of which Mrs Nevinson is a member, with Mrs. Pankhurst and her followers, sprang forward.
 I'm not with most of the femin- ists who are trying to put through silly laws either.
 'Do you think, then, that getting suffrage for women in England was worth wfile?' asked.
 Certainly it was. It was only a fortnight after we won suffrage that the paternal maintenance Of 1lleglu- mate children was doubled. It was only a few months after sunrage came that women sat on the bench in England and the Lord Chancellor, who had been most unjust to women previously, seized the opportunity to state that the rights of women are as important as those of men, All politicians in England agree with him now that women have votes. We have changed many un. . just laws, and we will change
 At this point my friend, Mrs. Pat rick H. Hepburn, better known III England and America as the Austra- Han poet. Anna Wickharn, interrupt ed to ask Mrs. Nevinson if she in tends to stand for Parliament in the next elections.

 She suddenly changed the subject by showing us patchwork cushion i'll. Remnants of a good old-fash- toned age, I thought. But she told us with great satisfaction that her son, c. R.

As we rose to go she mentioned the Russell divorce case that IS oc- cupying the minds of all London.
 'SThink of the cleverness of that little woman,' she chuckled. "They say that His Honor, Sir John simon, counsel for MT. Russell, is turning white haired through his effort to compete with her."
 She fairly gurgled with the thought of one of her own sex thus confound- ing the male dignity of the courts, and so, too, did we.

Bankers To Have Protection Against
 Uninvited Guests

New York, Aug. 12-Conventions attract crowds but there are always many uninvited guests. Three au- thoraties for this in New York are the William J. Burns Detective Agency, William J. Lahey, inspector of police and Guy Emerson, vice president of the National Bank of Commerce and executive manager of the forty-eighth annual convention of the American Bankers Association, which will be held in New York, October to 6.
 .sIf a convention drew only those in tended" said MT. Emerson, who be- gan actively to prepare for the bank CTS meeting several months ago. there would be no complaint, but it is the element which preys on society and which finds large gatherings fertile field for it's operations that causes the trouble" Police records show that a. convention is a maget for pickpockets and all other classes Of petty thieves and as well for gen tlemen'' crooks and society pilferers, whose only tools are evening clothes and a suave manner, and whose ob- jectives are diamonds and pearls Mention of them in the same breath with pickpockets would deeply insult them.
 success of @ convention depends on ! the precaution taken against these i nniscreants Adequate protection will | result in nothing more than the sus- picious characters being recognized, ! which recognition from the law, is all they need to make them model citi- zens for the time being at least IT not recognized, or more specifically, if no one is there to recognize them, they will flock to the center of actlVi- ties like flies around a jam jar.
 The bankers convention will be the biggest business gathering in the Uni ted States this year. It will attract as delegates about 5000 bankers from every section of the country.
