added to the store of knowledge is the
product of similar unceasing applica
tion and untiring search for that something which the embryo genius
believed could be found if the effort be persistent and the seeker patient. Perhaps the most devoted men, men who forget in self seeking the good of their fellow men, are to be largely found working out the problems of better health for their fellows and in this quest the hazard of life has not been denied. Too often has it been true that life has been given- in exchange for a discovery that has been witheld from the one who gave the life and has come to glorify the name of some subsequent seeker who began where his predecessor laid down the unfinished task. The secrets of the laboratory are those that seldom find their way beyond the limited circle of a chosen few. So much hangs on the outcome of an experiment that one must be absolutely sure of the conclusion reached; there must be no
possibility of error where human life
is at stake, hence over and over again
must the various stages be worked
only to find perhaps ttmt the entire edifice must be thrown down and the
work started again from a now basis

MRS. PANKHURST.
For Inciting persons to commit
damage, Mrs. Pankhurst, liable to a sentence of fourteen years, was given
three years' imprisonment.
The table says there is no possibility of Mrs. Pankhurst serving her
sentence of three years. It is expect
ed that she will be released as soon as she has starved herself for a few days, under the Home Secretary's new bill
permitting ticket-of-leave.

A man bought a lot on Calumet avenue. lie looked forward to the erection of

Other people have bought residential property- onlv to have stores or saloons
built next to them. Frecmentlv a neighbor, with a false sense of economy, erects a

Business houses are excluded from Kenwood; there is a twentv year restric

In short, Kenwood excludes the anarchist, the man who refuses to conform to
certain restrictions that are conceded to be in the interests of the community as a whole. If you believe in orderly, uniform development and want to be protected from the man who does not buy in Kenwood. Roscoe E. Woods, President. Frank Hammond, Secretary,

little sportsmanship, no humanity and economy. Why he doesn't know what the last word means. In speaking of this reckless and murderous slaughter, this wanton taking of life, an exchange says: "The great flights of migratory birds take them from the gulf to the north of us and back. Ducks become the unwilling guests of murderous hosts when they alight in Indiana and Illinois In the spring. The states to the north Wisconsin and Michigan protect the blrda until they have mated and reared their young ones. Their business judgment and far sight, aside from their humanitarian attitude, count for much, but need the abetting of the states where the ducks, must first pause. - "The killing of every pair of birds in the spring means the loss of twenty more. At the present rate of slaughter ducks must become extinct, and before that time
will bring prices that none but the very rich can pay. "Sportsmen have agreed that It will be safe to take the limit off the bag In the fall if the spring shooting Is abolished. To state It another way -all ducks cannot be exterminated if allowed to mate. It is said that this necessary inhibition will increase the flocks tremendously in two years. "Already several species have virtually disappeared. Give tne remaining families their rightful chance for perpetuation and there may be a reversion to the situation of some years ago, when it was
possible to buy a mallard for 50 cents." Give the poor duck, the noblest of the water fowl, half a chance for his white alley.

THE GENIUS. It is not entirely the fault of the mascs that they have been taught to look upon a genius a3 a person who by sheer force of individuality leaps full panoplied Into fame. So little tipace is given to the being who ha3 won the title and so much to the task that has won the attention of the world it is not to be wondered that
the world only years afterwards begins to interest itself in the method by which the genius forced his way to
the front and found fame waiting there to place the crown upon his
brow.

USELESS SLAUGHTER. It is quite common to hear of duckhunters complain about the scarcity
of ducks and water fowl. They la
ment in tearful voices the good old
days when ducks were plentiful and
wholly forget and ignore the fact that
the scarcity Is due to no one else but
themselves. No one is to blame for the growing scarcity of the spring duck but the duck hunter. The bird has nothing to fear from anyone else
but a duck hunter.
The fact is that the lament of the
hunter is an indecent thing to one familiar with the situation. You have all seen him returning from the hunt gorged with his slaughter. The
more ducks he can slaughter the
greater his braggadocio.

To Editor Times:
The definition of "a live issue" I take
to be "A movement (generally a reform movement) which because of the demand of a paper's constituency is' given constant and prominent attention
In Its columns." Corollary: Votes for Women Is "a live Issue" In our section.
And "A Mother" who has evidently
given little thought beyond her own
desires la thanking President Wilson'
with tears In her eyes for refusing (if he has done so) to assist the six million working women In the United States to better condition. There are many thousands of mothers who are compelled to enter the industrial world in order to maintain households widows, women whose husbands have fallen down on their job and deserted the family, women whose husbands are habitual drunkards or who for other reasons
refuse to support wife and children.
These women are our sisters, whether
we will or no; and are we to leave them
to struggle under man-made laws?
Enactments affecting the welfare of
women and children have received little or no atention from our legisla
tors hertofore. In one respect alone.
allow me to quote:
"The .enfranchisement Of women has resulted in every case in a lowering of the rate of Infant mortality. The Improvement In this respect has been far greater in countries where women vote.
as for example, Australia, where the rate
has been lowered from in per 1,000 to 77 per 1,000, than In the states and countries where women have strenuously exerted indirect influence In favor of the babies. In every one of the suffrage states laws have been passed for the protection of infant life and for the better care of the children.

strength, the more of life itself to
