M ALEAUTOCRACY IN LAST STAND Ministry Only Calling Wo men Have Not Invaded to Any Great Extent. Chicago, Sept. 15. Male autocracy '.-..it once ruled in every part of life - making: its last stand In the minis- y. Miss M. Madeline Southard, presi- , i.t of the International Association of w .-.men Preachers, told its annual con dition here tonight. Miss Southard led the struggle in the Methodist Kpiscopal general conference ist year that obtained license for wo- v. n to preach. Her home is in Win ,1,1, Kan. Women preachers of a . .m-.hcr of churches, for the association - ion denominational, heard her ad- Our pood friends in this land who ppose woman's admission to the min- . i v seem to be serenely unconscious : it thoy are the spiritual descendants J those who once held women as chat :s. who later shut the schools in their ;.-nes, denied them the ballot, and re : S'-1 thorn equal wages for equal work ir.-;'ite the fact that thousands of them .n the family bread winners," Mian Semihard said. She then reviewed ar--:: :;ts against women preaching. The time was when fin appeal to - ptiire settled the whole thing, men . ;' ouirse doing the iuterpretlng," she "We have gone far from that : , v. for every woman's voice heard in Christian Endeavor. Kpworth League Sunday school is a direct violation :' the 'keeping silence in the church,' :-.;; if women did no teaching both s-uKic schools and Sunday schools s r.iil suffer considerable loss. Another once, overwhelming argu- t was that woman was not mental .a'.ab'.o of presenting the weighty :-i s that must be dealt with in the .';::. Hut since we have had a single -. ration of educated women we hear . tie more of that. A-ain it was once seriously claimed at woman was unequal physically to strain of pastoia! wbrk and "that 1" children and did all thhe work for : i! We know of one woman who in ( Hooky Mountains covered a circuit T.o miles and developed charges, ;; h I heard her district sperintend . declare, 'were now able to support , man as pastor.' One still hears occasionally that the lination of women will feminize the ': v:rch. Hut that is impossible, for a : M-nvmopolv of the pulpit has already nmphshed it. .Many of the arguments once used -. --linst women's preaching have had to handoned. But the opponents still ::-'lt to one. the pet argument of 'wo- tii's sphere.' Of necessity many wo- . . 1 v are not mothers' and must seek thtr vocations, while many thousands mothers are forced into the incUss ni.il world to support themselves and heir children. Indeed many of those who remain at home give about nine tenths of their time to industry and no-tenth of their time to children. A woman preacher would have much lore time for children than many hous-j-wives. "It has not been proved that preach ing is in any way inimical to mother hood. I know a number of preachinng mothers and I wilk put their children up against any of the same number that any group of families desire to '-ring forward. "Woman will bring no new Gospel, just the woman's vision of the old yet ever nrw Gospel. And there will be no rivalry between her and her broth er, but as in other fields as in this, each will reinforce and strengthen the other. For the man's mind and the woman's mind are ever complementary and only the blended wisdom of the two can give wholeness and symmetry, whether in home or state or church."

I I Letter W UKSP LusyJmmePrice Xew York, Sept. 15. For a long time Manhattan has glowed with pride especially when visitors were about and they always are over the unceasing quantities of its taxis. W'c land safely on the other side of . the street, mop our brows, breathe a prayer of thanks at our escape so far, and then beam upon our companions. "Do you suppose there are so many taxis anywhere else in the world?" Well, there are not. And what was a boon has become a problem. It's much like the story of "Pigs is Pigs." Finally the Fifth ave nue association has appealed to the commissioner of licenses to find a way to get rid of some thousand or so of them. There are 11,000 licensed taxis in the city, it seems; and really that does count up in such an agile thing as a taxi. Moreover there ai; stands for only 5,000 of them. The rest just have to cruise forever. And a constant ly cruising tai gets in the way of more people than two or three standing quietly at a stand, they find. Rut New York as a whole rises up and cries, "Cut out one of all these 11,000! Never! Duild more stands if necessary. There's Central Park still left unoccupied; and we don't at all need such large en trance halls to pur apartment houses." The children of New York are going to have a theatre all their own, unless present, plans go awry. The Story Book Theatre it is to be called, a per manent repertory theatre for juniors. Well known dramatists, musicians and dancers will contribute to the programs, which will include pantomimes, ballets, one-ast plays, operattas, travelogues and story-telling. There will also be motion pictures, especially adapted to youth. The performances will be given Friday evenings and Saturday after noons. The venture is under the direc tion of Mrs. Josephine Clement who has done much the same sort of thing in Chicago. BAR ASSOCIATIONS PUT UNDER STATUTE When tea-dancing takes its place in our hearts and our days, the season is truly open once more. What the first green leaves are to the orchards, such is tea-dancing to the city with its re versed seasons of life. And now this week it has come gayly into our midst once more. Does romance die and stay dead in the winter time. Here is good authority for that some experience to the con trary. A ' fortune teller well Known in the shore summer resc.fts about New York, surprised a friend of his the other day by walking into his office and applying for a position. "I thought you told me a month ago that you were making all kinds of money," the business man said. "I did say so, and I was," explained the psychic. "But the summer is gone and winter is no time for fortune tellers. There is no romance in the winter. There are no canoes or warm moonlight nights on the piazza. No one wants his fortune told unless there's a romance in the offing. Can you give me a job until the first day of spring?" Two thousand people at one wedding teems completely overwhelming to me. I didn't suppose anyone in the world had that many friertds or friends' friends. And if they did, I didn't sup pose they'd ask them to any one wed ding they might have. But 2,000 invita tions went out to the marriage of Elsie Parsons granddaughter cf Henry dews to Morehead Patterson, which took place the other day. And most of the 2,00ff appeared. From time immemorial, dogs have chased cats. It's one of the taken-for-granted facts of life. But in a crowded city, not even that natural recreation can be participated in without lead in;? to complications, and becoming a news Item. The other day a large St. Ber nard chasod a small but strenuous oat in Renwick street. Somebody tried io stop the chase and it became all the more intense. The somebody els3 called Patrolman Cassidy, it bein a moment of surcease from any holdups or auto accidents on his beat. Ho. broke his nightstick on the dog and then stum bled and hurt his aikle. Both he and the dog at that point lost interest in the chase but not the populace. A pedes trian decided it was a mad dog ram page and sen in a riot call tohe Beach street station. Altogether it was a crowded and excited norning, and proof of what simple pleasures New York can make much of. LUCY JEANNE PRICE. HOHENZOLLERNS ARE BECOMING MORE JOLLY Doom.

Phone 4542. 23 tf Dayton, O., Sept. 15. The voluntary! State Bar Association of today is due to give way to an association created! under State statute to which every law yer is required to belong, according .o Daniel W. Iddings of this city, prasi- j dent of the Ohio State Bar Associa tion. The object sought is protection of the public and the legal profession i'rom the unscrupulous lawyer. The associa-! tions would have disciplinary powers. A definite movement to thi'j end which has already made considerable progress is reported by Mr. Iddings. He noted that North Dakota has made all lawyers of the State members or an association which is given broad powers to evolve such organization as it sees fit. The law went info effect Jfcly 1. In Florida, a more comprehensive bill recently passed the State Senate The Michigan Senate has passed a s-imilar bill and in Ohio one was introduced hi the Senate but failed to puss. The president of the Ohio Bar Association added that the Nebraska, Maryland, Minnesota. Kansas, Idaho, Iowa,. Illi nois, Indiana. Kentucky, and North Carolina associations were studying the subject. The plan of self-government for ' the bar is not new on this continent, ac cording to Mr. Iddings. It is in effect in Canada, he said, while the Inns of Court of England, which serve" as a model, have been in existence for cen tauries. "Only 17 per cent of the work of a lawyer is done in court, the other 82 per cent of his livelihood is earned away from the 'all seeing eye' of the judge," he said. "Self disciplin-i and government are required now as never before TRIED TO PATENT THE AMERICAN FLAG PUBLIC GIVES NEW HOME TO WIDOW NEW COALING STATION. Papeete, Tahiti, Sept. 15. Great Britain is preparing to establish a na val coaling station at Penryhn Island, a large atoll about 700 miles northwest of here, according to report received from a British warship that recently visited Tahiti. ' ' Penrhyn is famous in the South Seas as a rich pearl island. Buenos Aires, , Sept. 15. Complaint; has often been made by manufacturers ' and others that on entering South America for the purpose of selling their products they found that some enter-' prising person had appropriated their! trade marks and patent rights thus be ing able to prevent the use of the man ufacturer's own brands without "ad justment. " Probably the most curious. . case of such an attempt to appropriate a de sign was made here recently when an English firm applied for patent rights on the American flag. It was denied. New Orleans, Sept. 15. A home con structed of materials donated by build ers' supply men on a lot purchased with contributions from real estate dealers, erected by union workmen free of cost and furnished by furniture deal ers with no hope of reward, has been given Mrs. Frank O'Connor and her 'nine children. Frank O'Conner, the breadwinner of the family, was killed in a fall several months ago. When the famliy he left was on the verge of being evicted, The New Orleans Item heard about their plight. The public response was im mediate. jn. m. r :,' ft ' .... y. m x a. z . -y if c-, tL.m w -w- 3oor Gasoline is as LOStl v as rmiTF I -m-L-mr mj-ju, V-' -MJ Jl i JL V O M.JU.- avoidably waste some power. A motor in which a low grade of gasoline is used may lose as much as 90 of the potential energy of the fuel. Consistent use of a scientifi cally balanced gasoline, always uniform, will eliminate unnec essary waste. The fluctuating quality of poor gasoline causes a motor to function unevenly, often discharging large quan tities of uneonsumed or partially-burnt gasoline into the muffler. L rm eaKv i an& The improved "Standard" Motor Gasoline that discrimi nating drivers are " tipping off to their friends, is clean-burning; it's light and volatile. It produces greater mileage by eliminating waste. wIt is quick firing and releases a smooth, steady flow of power, much different from that produced by ordinary gasolines in which the quality is irregular. If you are .not yet using the improved "Standard" Motor Gasoline, by all means try it at once. There is some real motoring satisfaction in store for you. You might as well collect.
