Lady Assistant \ Made at Meeting of Norwich Equal Franchise League— Message of Sympathy to Mrs. Asher H. Wilcox—Read- ing Entitled “An Anti-Suffrage Monologue” Given by Mrs. J. Eldred Brown. A good meeting of the Norwich Equal Franchise league was held Thursday afternoon at the Buckingham Memo- rial with Mrs. William A. Norton pre- siding. The usual reports were given and resolutions of sympathy were pre- sented to be sent to Mrs. Asher H. Wilcox from the league. Mrs, Edward J. Graham, who with Mrs. J. Eldred Brown and four young women workers helped present the cause of equal suffrage before the com- mittee at Hartford last week told of the first day's session and the able speeches given by the several suffrage workers, and the strong arguments they brought forward. Both mothers and working women find changed con- ditions. In addition to the suffrage workers, _representatives from two men’s labor organizations spoke in favor of the amendment and ‘several other men favored it on the ground of simple justice. Mrs. Charles A. Hagberg gave an a count of the second day in_Hartford, which she and Mrs. Herbert R. Branche attended. She told of the, way in which the antis set out to flatter the commlittee and the amusing arguments they brought against suffrage. The men who spoke for them did not flatter them any, but hit hard in thelr attitude on the inefficiency of women. Their own speakers made many good suf- froge hits and one of them got more applause from the suffragists than she did from her own side. Mrs. Branche added a few words of encouragement. Mrs. Grosvenor Ely solicited food and assistance for the food stle in the Thayer building. Mrs. J. Eldred Brown then gave a clever reading entitled An Anti-Suf- frage Monologue which was extremely amusing. The author, though disdain- ing logic as unfeminine, still gives her arguments in couplets. ' Either woman will not use the ballot when she has it or she will spend all her time there. It will make her just the same as her husband, or, 1f you like, will array her against her husband. Women are an- gels and should not vote; they are so depraved that they should not. The: cannot understand politics; they woul occupy all the poiitical positions; they are not capable of organization; they would all hold together in a sex war. The ballot is much overestimated; the ballot is what makes man, man. She was willing to be convinced, but not by facts, statistics or argument—these are not womanly proofs. Woman's place isin the home. Everything else has been taken out and as something must remain in it, of course the woman must, espectally since the telephone has come in. No present conditions shoulq be altered. If there is misery in the world, God put in there for dis- line. There should be no interfer- ence. Those 60 nurses who went into the tenement district and saved thechil- dren were interfering with the death rate. Get your way by teasing, nas- ging or tears—but never by the ballot, that would not be womanly. A femi- nine ballot would lure men to destruc- tion. _She feels so strongly on the sub- ject that she cannot think. JESUS THE WORLD'S GREATEST WORKINGMAN. Topic of General Secretary Hill Shop Talk. General Secretary Edwin Hill of the Y. M. C. A. spoke at the noon shop meeting at the plant of the Hopkins & Allen company Thursday at noon, tak- ing as his topic The World's Greatest Workingman. Mr. Hill said the great apostle Paul wrote concerning the Man of Nazareth, “wherefors God had high- ly exalted him and given him a name Which is alone every name.” Without any question, Jesus is the most noted man in history, and though he lived on earth 2,000 years ago, his influence is just as powerful as when they said of “him, “Never man spoke like this man,” and therefore the vast army of laooring men will do well to listen to his message, which is at once practical and uplifting. Jesus early learned to labor, and even after he left the car- Dpenter’s bench his life was crowded full of activity and he was always in a real sense a man of toil. Because he was a workingman he knows your needs, and I ask you to listen to one of your fellow workmen as he says “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” He knew what it was to be tired; so do you, and when at night you go home, weary with the day’s toil, re- member that your friend, tae world's greatest workingman, is interested in you and is in full sympathy with you all. 'This master workman had great confidence in workingmen as svidenced by the fact that he selected several of his disciples from the laboring class; his inner circle included three men of toll—Peter, James and John. 1 know of no men in the world who deserve the confidence of the people more than the large army of honest toilers. This great leader is anxious to en- roll you in his army, and you will do well to enlist under his banner. Na- poleon sald: Alexander, Caesar and myself founded empires on force, but Jesus alone founded his empire on love, and his empire alone survives. He will not force you to enlist, but lov- ingly entreats you to do so. As someone has said, Christ is not a creed, not even a church, not a the- ory, nor an opinion, but a great lead- er,—a king, a teacher, a prophet, a Saviour, and when you link your life to_him your final success is assured. Think of him as your shopmate and consider him your partner. BOZRAH ST.

In the headline place on the bill of vaudeville at the Davis theatre on Thursday for the midweek change of Dill was the special comedy sketch put on by Henry Wyatt & company, four people, who showed what a lot of fun they could .bring to their audience by their clever presentation of their win- ning act, which had special settings. With the accordion and their skill in whistling, Anthony and Adele made their musical act a novel one that earned them a good hand, and Billy Morse was a favorite in his line of Southern songs and stories given in his blackface act. The photoplay feature was David Higgins in His Last Dollar, a dramatic film a thousand feet long and full of thrills. The Mutual Weekly and Char- lic Chaplin in a Keystone comedy were also on the picture bill -88.75 .87, 8708 Short Calendar Session.

Ut t an adjourned hearing given by the public utilities commission in the union station at New London Thursday af- ternoon in the matter of the construc- tion of a highway bridge over the tracks of the New Haven road at Lords Point, in Stonington, the com- missloners ordered the building of an overhead bridge in accordance with plans prepared by the railroad engi- neers, which were acceptable to the town counsel, Attorney Frank N. Hinckley, and the selectmen. Another design had been prepared by Civil Engineer George K. Crandall, acting for the town of Stonington, ich differed from the railroad plan chiefly in the construction of the abut- ment on the south side. In Mr. Cran- dall's plan heavy masonry was spec fied. Engineer Spencer of the New Haven road stated that according to his estimate the town's plan would in- volve an additional cost of $2,500 to $3,000. He estimated that the bridge will under his design entail an expen- diture of about $13,600. Instead of ma- sonry, Engineer Spencer substituted a skeleton steel pier. The bridge is sim- ilar to that at Groton Long Point. Counsel for the New Haven called attention to the division of the cost of building the structure between the railroad company and the town. The statutes explicitly provide that each shall pay one-half the cost of a rail road “crossing,” but a question has now arisen ‘and is to be tried out as to whether the term ‘“erossing” includes any part of a bridge and its approach- es not within the company’s right of way. The construction of the Lord’s Point bridge will proceed as rapidly as pos- sihle and the railroad company will order the steel at once. It is hoped to have it finished in time for summer travel. The question of dividing the cost will not interfere with the com- mencement of work, but will be adjudi- cated later. ON CHILD'S CARE. Valuable Pamphlet Just Issued for the Public by Children’s Bureau of U, S. Government, “Infant Care” is the title of a pam- phlet just issued by the children's bu- reau of the United States department of labor. It is the second of a series of popular pamphlets for the use of mothers on the care of children. The new publication takes the baby from birth through its second year, dealing with such questions as feeding, cloth- ing, bathing, sleep and exercise, or in other words, with the questions which all mothers must face, sooner or later, in the care of the baby. The book is written in simple, non-technical language, easily understood by the average American mother, The pamphlet will not, of course, take the place of the advice of a phy- sician, but it includes a section on how o keep the baby well, which describes the minor ailments of babyhood and the symptoms indicating the onset of more serious illness. Special emphasis is placed on the damger to infants of whooping cough and measles, The pamphlet was prepared, under the direction of Miss Julla C. Lathrop, chief of the bureau, by Mrs, Max West, who also prepared the pamphlet on Parental Care, which was the first of the Care of Children serles. Infant Care, like all the other publications of the bureau, may be obtained free of charge by addressing a postal card request to the Chief of the Children’s Bureau, Department of Labor, Wash- inggon, D. C. BEFORE JUDGE GRENE, Application of Dr, Paul Robinson for Alimony Reduction Heard.
