The dust, heat and humidity of

removed by Il new system which

calculated to cool car from 10 to

humidity from the air, the effect on
the passengers will be even more re-

Shakespeare Shown as
Master of Observation,

How fortunate it is for US and for
all succeeding generations that
Shakespeare wrote down what he
had learned by his observation of
men, women and children.
Ben Jonson knew Shakespeare in
timately. Apart from his immense
respect for Shakespeare's literary
genius-JOnson placed him higher
than all others, past or present-he
said that Shakespeare had charm
ing disposition. kindly, friendly, gen.
erous, open and free from malice.
1t is as certain as anything can be
that Shakespeare was at home with
all classes of people; he knew royal
personages and he knew gutter
snipes.
Browning said the business Of po-
etry was to chronicle the stages OF
all life, and that Shakespeare was
the greatest poet because he report
cd accurately more phases of human
nature than any other writer. His
plays are not only beautiful works
Of art, they are guide books to hu.
manity; they tell us the latest news
of human nature.
He said himself that the purpose
of his poetry was to hold the mirror
up to nature; and whenever we
open any one of his plays we see
IN accurate reflection of the hearts
and minds of men.
There is no art so important as
the art of living. In reading great
literature we are learning life itself

HERE is many a paradox

The sources, however, from which his
convictions on the great issue largely
sprung, have not been hitherto re.
vealed. 1t is the purpose of this book
to show Lincoln's personal contacts
with slavery which gave him a first
hand knowledge of the peculiar in
stitution' that he could have acquired
in no other way.
Lincoln and Mary Todd were mar
ried in 1912 and soon afterwards Lin
coin was elected to congress, his first
appearance upon the national stage,
a position which brought him into
more direct contact with the all-im-
portant question was so soon to be
shaking the nation to it's depths. OF
the Importance to Lincoln'S political
future of his marriage, Mr.. Townsend
writes: $50 it happened that the lit
tie wife who went to live with Lin
coin at the modest Globe Tavern Tin
Washington, through her girlhood ex-
periences in Lexington, was peculiarly
fitted to share in the great task which
would make the man she married i'm
mortal. She had been taught every
phase of the great question, which
finally came to be nearest his heart,
by the very man whom her husband
regarded with the most admiration
(Henry Clay).
at may have been that gentle Ann
Rutledge, or portly, complacent Mary
Owens, or youthful, light-hearted
Sarah Richard would have endowed
the tall Sycamore of the Sangamon with
a richer measure of marital bliss, but
never did a young wife bring to a
husband, interested in statecraft and
anxious for perferment, such wealth
of first-hand information on a grave,
moral and political subject-such
fruits of intimate association with
great public men of her day as did
Mary Todd to Abraham Lincoln"
One of these great public men was
John G. Breckenridge, a childhood
friend of Mary Todd Lincoln in Lex
ington, later a United States senator,
vice president when Buchanan was
President and the candidate of the
pro-slavery Democrats in the fateful
campaign Of 1860. One of the most
dramatic incidents in Mr.. Townsends
book is the story of how it fell to the
lot of this friend of Mary Todd's girl
hood to declare the election of her
husband to the Presidency. He tells
the story as follows:
On February IS, 1861, the two
houses of congress met in joint ses-
sion to count the electoral votes for
President of the United States.
For days rumors had flown
thick and fast that Vice President
Breckenridge would refuse to an
nounce the election of Lincoln and
thus give the signal for the seizure
Of Washington by the overwhelm-
ing number of southern sympathiz-
ers within its gates. General Scott
had directed that no person should
be admitted to the Capitol building
except senators, representatives,
government employees and those
who had tickets signed by the
speaker of the house or the presid-
ing officer Of the senate. Armed

Darrow is to appear before the
Indiana State supreme court in
behalf of Stephenson, who now
is serving a life sentence IN the
Indiana State prison for the mur-
der of an Indianapolis young
woman.
Seeks to Break Writ
The famous Chicago attorney
will seek to dissolve a temporary
writ of prohibition which the
Supreme Court issued to prevent
Judge Harry L. Crumpacker, Of
the Laporte county Superior
Court from acting on petition
for a writ of habeas corpus, by
which Stephenson hopes to OBJ
tain liberty.
The grizzled barrister, as usual,
Is interested more j the defense

personality of the former khan
chieftain.
Interested in Law
In Pittsburgh, where Darrow
went to address the National AS
sociation for the Advance Of
Colored People, he discussed the
Stephenson case. He said:
81 am interested only in one
legal aspect of the case, that
is that the Supreme Court has

"NOt only do the masculine

This, however, is changing and
Senor Madariaga points with
great pride to such notable Span

one of the most brilliant women
in Europe, has been named by
the new government as director

NEW YORK, July 7 G.N.S).
An outbreak of a new war be"

police today as the aftermath Of
the killing Of Charles Entratta.
Three men who entered the
office of a bottle company and
shot Entratta may have been
agents of the AL Capone gang. in
Chicago, police said.
Authorities leaned to the theory
that Entratta'S death was linked
to efforts of Chicago beer sellers
to muscle in" ON the business

Entratta was a henchman Of

SpainNeedsNoL LucyStone,
SAYS Ne1u Ambassador

There is no Lucy Stone League
in Spain.
And furthermore, says Don Sal
vador de Madariaga, the newly
arrived Spanish Ambassador, there
never will be one. For Spanish
women legally retain their names
when married and only use their
husbands through courtesy.
For example. the wife OF Am
bassador Madariaga, daughter Of
a brilliant British Indian civil
official, is still Constance Archi-
bald and so signs all documents,
checks and legal papers. Her
daintily engraved visiting card
bears the inscription Constance
Archibald de Madariaga but that
is not her legal name.
Universities Open

Madariaga, is making rapid

The universities and colleges
have always been open to women

Gently they have not availed them

Senor Madariaga recalls an in
cident several years ago when one
daughter of old Madrid, refused a
degree at one of the leading uni
versities, successfully invoked a
medieval law granting her sex uni
versity privileges.
