N|OMAN'S VO [
FIGHT ON IN
COMMONS

LONDON, March SO.-Equality
Of the sexes was the subject OF 4
''wise-cracking" debate in the House
OF Commons last evening when the
second reading was taken OF the
franchise bill giving women 2,OOO'-
900 more votes than men in Great
Britain.
The measure is certain to pass
the Commons as il has the support
Of All parties.
Philip Snowden, in behalf Of the
Labor Party, Endorsed the bill. De-
scribing IL as ''the contamination
OF go years OF valiant work on the
part of the woman's suffrage move
ment." He added:
sit will bring a truer comrade-
ship between men and women in
the common task Of graphing with
our great national questions"
Sir George Cockerill moved the
rejection Of the measure. He pro-
testeds that women in Great Britain
are seeking not merely equality,
but superiority. He said that he
objected to giving women predon1i-
nance in constituencies where men
produce nine-tenths Of the revenue
and women only one-tenth.
Sir George asserted that man is
. higher organism than. woman,
although he admitted that women
reach maturity earlier than men.
He said:
ssBut the higher the organism,
the longer the period Of infancy"
Citing Lady Astor's statement
that the existence Of the majority
OF women is ian unfortunate pro.
vision Of nature" Sir George de-
scribed woman as zone OF natures
agreeable bIunders" and expressed
regret that boys are more difficult
to rear than girls.

HAWKED AND SPIT UP
PHLEGM EACH MORNING

"A person with bad cough is
fool not to see their doctor right
away" declares Mrs. d. r. Shad-
we'll. IT coughed in church, in the
office where I worked and at the
movies so bad people would stare
at me. Mornings / was nuisance
around the house, coughing up
phlegm and mucus. At night |
breathed through my mouth and
mornings my mouth was dry and
tasted awful.
SAW HER DOCTOR
sOur old doctor met me on the
street and noticed I coughed every
minute or so. / told him 25c
cough remedies did no good and /
couldn't take cod liver oil. He
laughed and wrote down the
name 'Linonine' and told me it
was a nice-tasting Flax-seed mix
ture with Eucalyptus, etc.. far
better than Cod Liver Oil and
quicker, too.
WONDERFUL RESULTS
"Only the bigger downtown
stores had Linonine but it's worth
going miles to get. My cough
loosened up and vanished almost
like magic. Since then dozen
friends who were wheeling and
coughing around have taken Limo
nine and even the kids in the
neighborhood like to take it when
they get a cough or cold. 1t
builds you up, too"
A cough is nasty, annoying
thing to have and dangerous, too,
this time Of year. A Soc or $1.00
bottle at home does the work. Well
stocked druggists have Linonine,

Charges ID. c. Police With
Tyranny Over Citizens

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Please accept my thanks for the very
timely and well written editorial which
appeared in The Evening Star for Au-
gust 20 under the title police Vandal-
ism" There is one statement in that
editorial with which the writer desires
to take issue, however It is to be in
ferred. from the wording Of the last
sentence, that the citizens Of the Dis
trict of Columbia will not tolerate"
the wanton destruction Of their prop
erty by the members Of the Police De-
partment. Perhaps it would be well
for the writer of that editorial to state
the means of redress which the citizens
of the District of Columbia have against
the repeated assaults upon their per-
sons and property by the members of
the Police Department, or indeed,
against the very free killing Of any OF
the citizens whom 1t happens to please
the Police Department to summary
dispatch The writer, during the ten
years OF his residence in the District
of Columbia, has very carefully followed
to its conclusion every case tof which
the number is legion) of unlawful
slaughter or of unlawful assault upon
the person and property in which redress
hiss been sought and which the news
papers have reported, but 1T appears
that the lives and property of the I'M
fortunate citizens of the District Of Co
lumbia are subject to the arbitrary
whims of the members of the Police
Department, and that particular per-
son has not as yet been brought to
complete realization of that fact is due
to the auxiliary fact that. with popu-
lation Of nearly 100000, the Police De-
partment has not yet been able TO reach
that particular person for the execution
of its tyranny upon him. Not any one
is immune from such a condition OF
tyranny as has been established by the
Police Department Of the District of
Columbia and from which the helpless
citizens have not any means OF redress.
The statement that the citizens of the
District of Columbia will not tolerate"
the vandalism of the Police Department
appears to be an ill-timed attempt to
be humorous.

The Dump Fire Nuisance.

/ In his annual report the supervisor
/ of disposal Of city refuse urges the pro-
vision of incineratorS for the consump-
ton of bufnable waste. rs q means OF
Kidding the District OF the nuisance OF
odors arising from the dumps" where
trash of this character is deposited.
Mir. Hacker recognizes that the practice
of piling this form of trash upon va
cant spaces IN the outskirts of the city
is n bad one. His recommendation will
be heartily Endorsed by the community,
In several places in and around the
District these dump fires are constantly
burning. sending their fumes out over
a wide area and greatly annoying thou
sands of people. The waste materials
are used for the filing of low ground
They are picked over by scavengers who
derive subsistence from their findings.
The ultimate waste is piled and fired,
and at night these blazes dot the land
scape and at all hours their malodorous
emanations drift with the wind for
miles beyond.
This is a relic of the past period Of
municipal Encouragement that should
be speedily cast aside forever. 1t should
not have persisted as long as 1t has.
Incinarators should have been installed
for the disposal of worthless trash along
with the establishment Of garbage re-
duction plants. Some time ago the Blu
reau of Efficiency. in the course OF Its
survey Of District conditions, recon-
mended the provision of three incin-
orators in different parts Of the city for
the consumption Of refuse of this char
actor. Nothing was done about the
matter. Now the proposition has been
laid before the Commissioners by The
supervisor Of disposal of city refuse, in
terms which should cause them to seek
the provision Of funds for this purpose.
This branch of the District government
turns in revenues from the sale OF
grease from garbage reduction, OF sal
vaged materials and of hides from dead
animals. Last year nearly $4,000 was
thus charged TO the credit Of the nlu-
nicipality as an offset against the cost
of collection and disposal. Assuredly a
small part of this fund can be used for
keeping the atmosphere surrounding the
Capital clean.

more than the author OF the Kellogg
! treaty, that a solemn declaration against
| war or removal of the word war" from

repeat, that firm decision never to
have recourse to aggression must be

resist aggression. But every act
which can contribute to diminishing
bitterness and distrust between peoples

BY France. BY attesting through
this new gesture that her army is To be

without weakening her material force,
can increase her moral force and con-
tribute 10 European conciliation.
II might be argued that NJ. Painleve's
proposal Ia eliminate the word war
from his title might logically be followed
by the elimination of other symbols of
war. and that the French army, If it
is To be devoted 10 peace, should turn
in its rifles. baysnets, artillery and text
books on strategy in battle, Such an
areumant has always been the chief
deterrent TO the successful elimination
of movements similar to Mr. Kellogg's
anti-war treaty. The world, brought
lid on war. has always admitted that 1t
is licked before it starts when it comes
to aboiishing war. 1t has always &C
ceptea war as inevitable. and war has,
therefore. always been inevitable, Mr.,
Kellcga's treaty and NJ. Palnleve's pro-
posal does nothing more than question
the nfallibility of the doctrine that
war is one of the necessary visitations
Of evil upon the earth, This in itself
is hopeful. That is all that anybody
claims for II.
