Within short time, that is,
at midnight on September 80,
the electrified lines of the Penn
sylvania Railroad between Will
mington and Chester and Phila-
delphia will be put into opera
ton, and there will be the final
test Of work that has been go
ing on for two years. The cleo
trio cars will operate under the
new schedule which goes into eff
feet with the passing Of day
light saving time. The railroad
officials believe that from five to
eight minutes will be cut from
the running time of the trains
between the three cities. Of
ficials of the company declare
the new service will be much
more dependable than the pres
ent and will be much cleaner.
Evidently it is regarded by the
company as a large improve
ment. The operation Of the
electric cars going out Of Will
mington will mark the compile
tion Of the first step in the
Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's comprehensive electrifi-
cation program that is expected
to cost about S1OO,OOO,OOO. The
new method will be awaited
with much interest by those
who travel between Wilmington
and Philadelphia. The electric
system has proved satisfactory
in other directions.

ing Questions

London, Sept. 27.-(AP)-How
do you vote, my pretty maid, is a
vexing question in Great Britain.
Five million little Joan Bulls, new
ly enfranchised by the "flapper''
vote act, will cast their first ballots
IN the Forthcoming general election
sometime next year. British pc.
litical strategists say the election
will be won and lost on women.
A curious prejudice against the
woman party worker on the part Of
women electors continues to BATTLE
party leaders. The ordinary voter
the sauciest "flapper" thinks she
knows as much about politics as
anybody.
The task is to overcome this feel
ing. Party leaders admit they never
will get enough men workers to
argue and convince all the women
electors Of the country.
Each party, the Conservatives,
Liberals mad Laborites, has divided
the country into areas, and set up a
woman's organization in each.
Megan Lloyd George, fighting for
q seat in Parliament beside her ia
nous father, former premier David
Lloyd typifies the liberal effort.
All sorts of devices already are
being used to capture the interest
and allegiance Of the elusive FLAP
per" voter. There arr afternoon
teas, sewing classes, entertainments,
evening functions, all with dash of
politics thrown in.
The best brains of the parties are
at work on special vote-getting
literature, masses of which are be-
ing prepared for women.

Setsuko's father, the former am

Belgians Centuries ago is now emf
phatically endorsed by no less a
modern authority than X. Q. Phil
Kaplan. who ran afou1 of a descend
ant of those hardy ancients last
night at Madison Square Garden.
Philip, one OF our most industrious
and effective middleweights, en-
countered Rene De, Vos In a To-
round fistic duel. In the second
round the Belgian, who Is the Euro
pean champion of his class, crashed
4 terrific right hook and a left to
Phils chin, flooring him. At the
end of the fight both of Kaplan's
eyes were nearly closed, his nose
and left ear were bleeding and his
face was puffed up like a man who
has tried to blow the indicator up
to 90 in one of those Coney Island
lung testers.
In truth our Philip was jolly
well licked by DE VOs. but to
his credit It can be said that
when showers Of gloves assailed
him he pressed forward to the
attack and gamely attempted
to outscOre his tantalizing foe
with vicious twO-handed yOlIeys
to the body.
KapIan made a brave showing
and was by no means disgraced
He was whipped by probably the
