[ ,' s JOMEN OF INDIA " KRB MERB SLAVES “ dows Worked Half to Death, ‘Il-Treated and Despised, _ Used to Kill Selves. 'CHILD MARRIAGE IS BAD “There are 60,000 ‘temple prosti- tutes’ in India,” declared Miss Daisy Wood, missionary in Calcutta, India, : who spoke yesterday morning at the Pearl Memorial Methodist church. . “These prostitutes are employed to ~ support the religion of India. Think of the difference between such a re- ligion and the Christian religion. The latter has emancipated woman and raised her to a plain on an equal with man. : “The condition of the women of India is indescribably wretched. Child marriage is one of the blights. The Brmsh‘governmcn( has made a law that children cannot be demanded by their husbands until they have reached the age of 12 years. The betrothal takes place when they are mere in- fants. One day a baby was brought £ to our mission. We were told the . mother had died and her age was 11 years. T “After marriage the women of India are not allowed to see a-man. On the streets of India you see nothing, no women. They are immolated in their - own houses. M they get sick they cannot see afloctor. Nearly half the © 315,000,000 people of India are prac- '~ tically prisoners. ¢ Widows Ill-Treated. Widowhood is a still more horri- ble thing in India than wifchood. There are 23,000,000 widows in that eat land. The lot of the widow is rible. She is worked half to death, ill-treated, despised. Before the gov- nent prohibited it, most widows erred to commit ‘suttec’ which fasisted of burning themselves alive the funeral pyre where the hus- 's bodies were cremated. Many - of the widows of India are children ranging from a year to 15 years of ge, for a child is considered just as uch a widow if the man to whom . is betrothed dies before she hes the. age of 12 years as if he fter that time. e vast difference in the posi- of women in Christian nations in pagan nations is one of the ug'fllnns endorsements of Chris- 0 % irge number of the congregation d pledge cards for regular con- utions to foreign missions. ssians and Poles ke Run on Another - Bank in Chicago >» go, Sept. 17.—Russians -and “in Chicago's West Side foreign , panic stricken by failure of 1 tgri\me banks, jammed and eir way today into a state ok in that district and created a run | the institution. bank was that of Schiff & Co., has more than $2,500,000 in de- and is believed to be absolutely in the West Side foreign fter are opened here for a few '8 on Sun. ng.

Washington, Sept. 17.—Division of | the world into economic strata gepa-| ratéd by tariff walls and classified as allies of the British empire, friendly neutrals, unfriendly neutrals and enemy neutrals is urged by the Lon- don Chamber of Commerce. To clear the ground for this world reconstruc- tion the chamber concludes in a spe- cial report,.a copy of which has just been received here, that abrogation of all “most favored nations"” treaties, in- cluding that with the United States, is inevitable, Free trade would be abandoned and a series of graded tariffs proposed in line with the present war groupings of the nations. All imports-would be divided as follows: Wholly manufactured goods; semi- manufactured goods and articles sole- ly used as raw material in industries; manufactured . foodstuffs, and raw foodstufis, English Favored. _ All parts of the British empire and its allies would pay minimum duties; friendly neutrals which allow the United Kingdom more favored treat- ment would pay twice as much; other neutrals, giving. preferences to other powers and including neutrals which might be swung into the Teutonic commercial system, would pay a still greater tax; and all “enemy neutrals would pay the maximum duties, run- ning up as high as 30 per cent. Rough!y it is estimated in the report that this chan?c from free trade to protection would net a yearly revenue of about $375,000,000. g Every precaution is urged in the re- port to assuage neutral nations to prevent them from making commer- cial alliances with enemv countries after the war. The difficulties are spoken of as follows: Must Abrogate Treaties. “It must also be remembered that our allies have tariff arrangements abrogated before ] trade arrangements can be made with the British empire as a whole. In ad- ' anarchist, very well presented by Miss | dition the United Kingdom has ‘most | favored nation’ clauses with certain ! foreign countries, including the United | States. These it is assumed would | have to be terminated, with or with-| out compensatory advantages. “Britigh trade . domination also would be furthered under the cham-| ber's plan by a reorganization of the| consular service anti-dumping laws, the formation of a ministry of com-| merce, with a seat in the cabinet, and the founding of a large central credit bank. i Enemies Licensed. In addition to the discriminatary tariffs, subjects of countries now at war with Great Britain would not be allowed to live or trade in England except under license. American trade experts are expected to show the keenest interest in the chamber’s recommendation, The chamber’s report has been called to Secretary Lansing's attention.

Boyd: “Truxton King.” Brandels: “Ramona” (photoplay). Empress: Vaudeville and photoplays. Gayety: “The New York Girls."” Hipp: Kri Vaudeville. Thotoplays. Orpheum: Strand: “Truxton King” at the Boyd. Having saved the kingdom and throne of Graustark, and wedded Princess Yetive and Lorry Grenfall, it wasn’t much of a job to provide them with progeny and thus continue the dynastic succession. But Atropos, the inflexible, nipped her shears, and the fond lovers passed on, leaving a boy to be reared by the American friend of the father and a fine old chief of police. They brought the prince up as a good, healthy boy, but became so engrossed in f\im they overlooked a former enemy of the throne, who was both wicked and en- ergetic. This count planned well to overthrow the government, murder the little prince, and take over the crown for his own. He had all set for the occasion, and only awaited the, coming of the twenty-sixth of July to spring his trap, Riglit here is where Truxton King came on the scene. He is not quite s0 resourceful as Lorry Greenfall, but he's some American, at that. He pies up the wicked count’s scheme by win- ning the heart of the young woman chosen to toss the bomb loaded with T-NAT, or something equally sudden, into the carriage of the prince, and between them they thwart the anar- chists, save the prince and the throne, and one is led to bélieve that in some future tale. by George Barr Mec- Cutcheon they will be found happily wed, or, maybe, their descendants will be aiding® other rulers of Graustark to hang onto the throne of their fathers, Grace Hayward's dramatization of the novel is good. She has filled her Rlly with many little touches of ome, life, contrasting interesting scenes with the little boy prince as the central figure, with dismal dun- feons in which bloody-minded vil- ians round out their plots and say "Ha, ha!" as they think of the twen" ty-sixth of July and what it means to Ir i ¢ H | them.

Three attractions share the headline position on’ the current bill at the Orpheum, but it was Sarah Padden who struck the popular fancy of the Sunday evening audience in an in- tensely dramatic one-act playlet, "The Clod." Miss Padden portrays a peas- ant character living on a farm on the border line between the north and the south during the civil war. No patriotism, no love of country occu- pies herVmind, and she regards the warring soldiePs as nuisances and pests which interfere with her sleep and comfort. Only the insulting southern soldier who called her cof- fee “poison” aroused her spirit suf- ficiently to protect a wounded Union warrior who sought safety in her home. Miss Padden portrays the slovenly character with a listiessness that seems reality. Her company is excellent and the playlet carries the “punch” that wins. \ Claire Rochester, prima donna, who fearlessly intermingles the classical with the popular, introduces herself via the moving picture screen, show- ing her at the wheel of her automo- bile, in which she made a record trip feom coast to coast, and then appears on the stage in her car to sing several numbers in excellent voice. Ralph Dunbar's - Maryland Singers sing songs of the sixties, and,’ closing the bill, held the audience to the end. l7|ohnuy Cantwell and Reta Walker ave an unusually gingery song and | dance act that is a sure-fire hit.

The old maid speaks: “Ah, how I envy married women. “What a wonderful thing it must be to have the love and protection of a husband, to have some strong arm to stand between you and the world, some buffer between you and the hardships of existence. “How sweet it must be to have a hushand to love and cheerish you, to feel that you are the one woman in the world to him. and that as the years go b s affection grows ten- derer and more chivalrous,»and .to know that in his eyes, at least, you will mever grow old and homely, but always. be the fair young bride he married. “It must he wonderful to watch of an evening for the coming of the step of the master of the House, and to think of the long evenings of perfect companionship that you will spend with the v who is literally your other half, talking over together all | the little happenings of the day, se- cure in a perfect companionship and understanding. ‘The Voice That Breahes O'er Eden’ at weddings. Marriage is Paradise regained for a woman._ “Of course, I'm not so badly off as things go for old maids. ample income for all my needs, ana plenty of interests to keep me alert and alive, and hosts of good friends, and affectionate relatives, but I am alone. I have no man to stand be- tween me and the world. I must fend for myself and look out for my own interests. “I've got no husband to tell me I'm still young and beautiful when I'm fat and forty; no footsteps to listen for of an evening; no loving lips to praise all that I do or leave undone. “That's why 1 envy married woman who breaks up,a bridge game or rushes’ home from a tea or the mati- nee to see about dinner for ‘et husband. The married life is the only life for woman.” “No wonder the organ peals out! I have an'! AS IT REALLY IS. The married woman speaks: “I wonder what makes any woman fool enough to get married! | “It's slavery. That's what it is. | Nothing but tlavery, that an idiot of |a young girl gives herself into with- |out knowing what she's doing. I'll i wager that if marriage licenses had | return coupons attached to them that there isn’t one bride in a hundred that | would not be back in her girlhood | inside of three months. “They talk about a husband pro- | tecting his wife. Huh! There's one | person he doesn’t protect you from, tand that's himself. So far as I can | see, the chief thing a man gets mar- | ried for is t8 get somebody that he ican vent all of his ill temper and | grouchiness on. | “1 know my husband talks to me in a way that he would never dream | of speaking to any other human be- ing on earth, and especially as he'd never speak to anything else that wore skirts. He's polite and affable and gracious to men he has to do bus- iness with and chivalrous to women éin society, but one of the unwritten laws of matrimony is that you don’t ‘have to show any good manners to- tward a mere wife. | “Companionship—that’s what every | girl really marries for. Not one hus- band in a hundred ever holds a real conversation with his wife. He goes to the club of an evening, or else drowses over the paper and grunts | when he is spoken to. If you'd sub- | stitute a store dummy for the average i husband his wife would never find out the difference. | “Perhaps there are husbands that | pay their wives compliments, and still | take an interest in holding their hand after the first year of matrimony. “Marriage is no picnic for a woman. | How I envy the old maids wno have , their own pocketbooks, and their own’ latch keys, and nobody who has a legal right to tell them of their faults and criticise their appearance.” i Y RUNNING FREEA I OUR car pays no toll to friction or the repair-man; every road is a freé road to the motor smoothly lubricated with POLARINE The Standard Oil for All Motors Polarine means less friction, less carbon, less depreciation.
