ONTARIO WOMEN TO VOTE.

THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1917:

Government, Through Premier, Indorses Equal Suffrage. TORONTO, February 28.—The women of Ontario were virtually assured the right to vote when the government, through Premier Hearst, indorsed last night the bill of J. W. Johnson providing for equal suffrage. The premier said the government would try to devise some plan under which women might vote at the next general provincial election. The opposition already has announced itself as favorable to equal suffrage, and now that the government has fallen into line the measure is expected to pass the legislature virtually without opposition. "Having taken our women into partnerj»hip with us in our tremendous task,” said Premier Hearst, in announcing the government’s decision, "I ask. can we justly deny them a share in the government of the country, the right to have a say about the making of the laws they have beer, so heroically Xrying to defend? My answer la I think not.” Jury Finds Woman Guilty. A jury in city court yesterday afternoon found Anna Armstror g, S5S*4 North Illinois street, guilty of keeping & resort and fixed as her penalty & fine of *10 and costs with thirty days in the Woman’s prison. Three women arrested in her house were fined 16 each. Henry Spaan and Ira Holmes were attorneys for the women. The cases were appealed. A "blind tiger” charge against the woman was dismissed.

REPORT MADE TO SENATE BY INTERIOR OFFICIAL.

ONE OF WORLD’S WONDERS

The Indianapolis News Bureau, 88 Wyatt Building. WASHINGTON, February 28.—Th«f purchaie by the government of at leist a part of the dunes region of northern Indiana for a national park was recommended in a special report to the senate today by Stephen J. Mather, assistant secretary of the interior. In his report, which was in response to a resolution adopted last summer on request of Senator Taggart, of Indiana, Mr. Mather asserted that no less than fifteep or twenty square miles of the dune's territory should be bought. The cost of purchase, he estimated, would be between $1,800,000 and $2,600,000. The cost of Improving the property, he estimated, would not be large, since the construction of four or five roads would be all that is required. The cost of yearly maintenance of the park would be about $16,000. ‘‘The sand dunes,’* Mr. Mather saijl, "are classified as among the finest in the world by scientists. I have never seen sknd dunes which equal them in any degree. They are readily accessible to 5,000,000 people, and, furthermore, they are ideally located with respect to the center of population of the United States. Interesting Study. “Contrary to the generally accepted notion, these sand dunes are not mere accumulations of clean white sand from Lake Michigan, with which the wind plays at will. They are deposits which constitute the action of the elements for ages past. The sand in hundreds of acres of this region has remained untouched for decades and perhaps centuries. Trees, large and small, have grown on the sand plies, and today form one of the scenic features of the dune country. Various vines, shrubs, reeds, grasses and hedges thrive In these areas which are not in the process of diminution or augmentation, and wild flowers are found in great abundance. “These dunes are beautiful at all times of the year. The beauty of the trees and other plant life in their autumn garb, as I saw them recently, was beyond descrip-

tion.

“Of surpassing interest to the visitor are the dunes which are in the building or are being destroyed by the winds. In these one may see the omnipresent battle of the sand and winds and plant life. Here the sand, swept by the winds, attacks trees and shrubs and slowly covers them and smothers them, while the winds lash them mercilessly, there a dune century old has gotten In the path of the gale, and is beaten and battered and finally destroyed, its sand carried away to furnish material for further fantastic work. Ofttimes when a dune is destroyed, great dead trees are wholly uncovered, indicating that the winds once seaeld

their doom.

l^leal Camping Site. “These are only a few of the many interesting and curious features of the dune country. They attract the scientist, the teacher, and the student, as well as the individual who merely seeks rest and recreation and communion with nature. They constitute a paradise for the artist

and writer.

“It is important that the Lake Michigan shore be mentioned. Here is a stretch of unoccupied beach twenty-five miles in length, a broad, clean, safe beach which in the summer months would furnish splendid bathing facilities for thousands of people at the same instant. Fishing in Lake Michigan d». rectly north of the dunes is said to be exceptionally good. There are hundreds

in the dunes.

As the dunes are situated between the cities of Miller and Michigan City. Mr. Mather suggested that the problem of what part of the dunes be preserved be answered by taking that part lying about midway between the two cities. This would solve the problem of avoiding urban real estate values, he said. It is improbable that the congress can act on the proposal to buy these dunes at the present session, but at the next session, the matter will be taken up and pushed by Indiana senators ond congress-

men.

Little Stories of Daily Life

Another Anti.

Henry A. Roberts, chief of the bureau of statistics, and Mrs. Roberts were joined at luncheon by Mr. Roberts's father, Thomas Roberts, who was in the city on business. The lunchroom was "crowded, and the three sat at a table where a woman was sitting. A mention of politics attracted the woman’s attention, she evidently believing Mr. Roberts was a senator or representative, and she introduced herself, proceeding to enlighten him on * state politic* and the vote she could con- I trol through the press. Mr. Roberts sought to divert her attention from him and have a joke on hi* I father. He told her he was an advocate • of suffrage, but his tether waa not Im- I

Thomas Roberts was kind enough to wait until they left the lunchroom before

turning the laugh on his spn.

How Anesthetic I* Administered. The question of having Robert's tonsils taken out was up for family discussion. Mother had said that she knew a boy who had had his taken out and that it did not hurt one bit. The doctor had given him gas and he never knew any-

thing until it was all over.

“Well, mother,” said Robert, in his slow way. “how do they give you gas?” 1 "Why. they put you in a gas stove!” ! exclaimed his brother Richard, age three, ! who is as quick at responses as the other 1 18 deliberative in his conversation.
