te NF AS Baw aA GRRS BOUVR SD ~— THE MODERN WOMAN ick the same female changes when the ae rushes her from a male-suffrage State inter an ekal-suffrage State? “Then wouldn't it jar your cerybellum to see that they’s wimmen like Katheryn Bement Davis, that’s got head enough to oss it over all the jailbirds of New York, put when thieves and thugs pitches their chains off, they're fit ter vote, and she ain't. Then, too, if an American woman ina fit of sentimental dementia marries an frishman, an Englishman or a German, she ain’t an American citizen no longer. Nope; she’s s'posed to be so tickled to gita man that she’s willing to give up her hull native land fur him, And what's more, her na- tive land gives her up without a qualm, and if she’s rammed by warships or bombed by aeroplanes, it’s up to her husband's coun- try to yell fer damages. And I ask you, Hiram Stubbs, ain't it kinder tough to be shoved inter matrimony and shoved out of patriotism at the same time? Nobody but a bride, and she don’t count ’cept as a ninny, would find any man worth giving up a hull country for or ekal to a State, let alone a hull nation. It’s putting too big a price tag on a furrin spouse to please wim- men, reckon. So I should think men ‘ud feel right comfortable and to home if when wimmen gits the vote they do put a few funny ones over. Nothing like gitting what you're accustomed to. But, land sakes! Ididn’t mention the queerest things of all —the laws men has give us’’. But Hiram, he looked some alarmed, and calkerlating he had an engagement, he beat it fur home. Suffrage Snapshots By IDA HUSTED HARPER 'HE COURTS of Missouri have decided that a husband cannot be arrested for burning up his wife's clothes, as they are not hers, but his; but after his wife learned of this decision, the man soon found him- self in jail for disturbing the peace. A big office building is to be built by women in St. Louis, run by women and oc- cupied by women. ‘There doesn't seem to be any special reason for this, except to show that it can be done. Women nowa- days seem to want to take every ‘‘dare’’ that is offered. fa} The first jitney bus driver in San Fran- cisco was a woman, and others all over the country are becoming ‘‘jitneyettes."" A Protest is now in order against women usurping men’s work, just as they say about typewriters, The Keith and Proctor circuits forbid any burlesquing of the suffragists. That's right, and the anti-suffragists give their own continuous vaudeville performances. Wellesley College has 110 students from States where women vote—enough leaven to make the whole institution rise up for? The Agency of a United People Astriking comparison between a homo- geneous country and a_ heterogeneous group of countries is obtained by placing over the map of the United States the map of Europe. These represent the same area —about 3,000,000 square miles—if a few of the remote provinces of Russia are omitted. Europe has the advantege in popula- tion, with more than four times as many cople as the United States; in the num- t= of large cities, with two and a half times as many cities of over 100,000 population. Yet the United States, a comparatively young country, has outstripped Europe in the diffusion of civilization, because of its wonderfully greater means of communi- cation between all parts of its area. The United States not only excels in transporta- tion facilities, but it has nearly three timesas manytelephonesasEurope, orabout eleven times as many in relation to population. By the completion of the Transconti- nental Line we now talk from one end of this country to the other, while in Europe the longest conversation is no farther than from New York to Atlanta, and even that depends on the imperfect co-operation of unrelated systems. Europe, with twenty-five countries and many different languages, serves as an il- luminating contrast to the United States, with one language and a homogeneous people, despite the fact that our popula- tion has been derived from all parts of the world. During the last forty years the steadily extending lines of the Bell System have contributed in no small measure to this amalgamating of different races. The latest achievement—the linking of coast to coast—has given greater force to the national motto, “E Pluribus Unum.” AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES ; One Policy One System Universal Service My $3.00 Exerciser Reduced fo Until further notice I will send one complete \ MUSCLE BUILDER OUTFIT =; 5. to any reader of Jupce upon receipt of $1.00—just one-third the reg- e.
