In the Shadow of the Factory One Woman Who Made the . British Empire “Sit Up" and Pay Attention. She W Mn. Pankhursl. and She Will Be Welcome in America —the CounlryThat Also Made England "Sit Up and Take Notice" a Little More Than a Century Ago ■Copyritfbt, 1913.) We are told that Mrs. Pankhurat, the determined, fighting English woman, Is coming to America Good news. This country will be glad to see her, welcome her, and to honor her. Mrs Pankhurst, a frail woman ol middle age, has proved by her own oourage, and her own acts, the folly of those that object to woman’* suffrage She has demolished the arguments" that prejudiced men and milk and water 'clinging vine” women of fer against justice to women They said that women ought not to vote beoause they had not the courage to go to war. they didn't have the warlike qualities of men. Mrs Pankhurst showed them that SHE had the oourage to go to jail. In addition, she had the courage to starve herself repeatedly until the Britiih Government did not dare keep her longer in j*il. When she came out of jail, too feeble to walk, she had the eourage—splendid, moral, spiritual courage—to continue her fight for women a rights and her denunciation of injustice. Idiots say that woman suffrage is opposed to the home and the proper bringing up of children Mrs. Pankhurst is the mother of daughters heroic and de voted like herself. She has brought them up well, and they, like their mother, are making a brave fight for womanhood, and for justice. Those who oppose suffrage declare—without knowing any thing about it—that women have not the intelligence to under stand publio questions, and, therefore, should not vote. Mrs. Pankhurst and her daughters, and the good women as sociated with them in the English movement, have proved that THEY understand public questions, and know how to CON TROL public questions. Mrs. Pankhurst, repeatedly arrested, dragged to court, judged and condemned by a man sitting on the bench, and by twelve men in the jury box, was able to conduct her own case as well as any lawyer And while the men condemned her and jailed her, she made every arrest, and every Imprisonment that she suffered, the text of a splendid talk on the rights of women that went all over England and increased the suffrage movement. Those that have misjudged Mrs. Pankhurst in this country do not take into consideration the different conditions in England and in America. Remember that in this country you can convert to suffrage ONE STATE AT A TIME You can gain your States one by one, making your fight in one place, then another, and thus spreading, Bnt in England, all the laws for all England, and for the whole Empire. ARE MADE IN ONE PLACE, UNDER THE BIO CLOCK, IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS The women of England have got TO MOVE ALL OF ENG LAND AT ONCE, OR NOT WIN AT ALL. What do yon suppose the women of America would have to de if it were necessary for them TO CARRY EVERY STATE IN THE UNION THE SAME DAY? They would have no hope at all—THE ONLY POSSIBLE CHANCE WOULD BE TO WORK AND TO FIGHT DETERMINEDLY AS MRS PANKHURST WAS DONE The women of Illinois would not have the right to vote to day if it had been neoessary that they should carry the whole United Staten st once In the United States to-day there are about TWO MILLION child workers UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE. Flowers will not grow in the dark; children cannot grow in the shadow of the factory. Give the little ones a chance in the sunlight. The greater the State, the greater the shame of child labor. When the Star Comes Back Mrs Pinkhurfft is a woman of wisdom, of character and courage 8he knew that for centuries women might remain classed with idiots and children unless something was done. SHE HAS DONE IT. The oourage of that one woman, physically feeble, but spirit ually a giantess, has made it absolutely certain that the women of England will vote on every question, and that the great re form will come while the daughters of Mrs. Pankhurst are still alive, even though their magnificent mother may not live to see the day. Honor to such a woman 8he will be welcome indeed in this iintry. PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS Everyone His Own Photographer, Thanks to the Latest Device, a “Vanity” Ma chine. Sit in Front of It. Ar range Your Expres sion. Drop a Coin or Press a Button and There You Are. By GARRETT P. SERVISS A French inventor has con trived an improved means of flattering human vanity, in the form of an suto-phographic machine, with whose aid the sitter can chose his own pose and ar range his own expression, with out the intervention of a third person. All he has to do is to place him self on a stool before the machine, look into a mirror, fix his hair and his necktie, and graduate his smile to suit bis mood or his fancy, and then drop a coin in a. slot, or, if it is a private machine owned by himself, touch a button, where upon the mechanism sets to work, takes his photograph, develops it, transfers it. to a card, fixes it, and at the end of three minutes, de livers the finished photograph, in a permanent form, in a box at the bottom of the apparatus, and is ready for another pose. The entire process is effected by means of a system of electro-mag nets, and nearly ail the steps are visible to the sitter, who can amuse himself by remaining in his chair and watching the operation through windows in the enclosing box. Lights and Shades as Del icate as if an Expert Did It. The machine also possesses a system of lighting which imitates the effects produced by the photog rapher's shades and reflecting screens, so that the subject is prop erly illuminated, and the photo graph comes out as delicately mod eled with regard to light and sha dow as if an expert poser bad superintended the operation. Few persons are quite satisfied with the proceedings of a photog rapher, or are willing to admit that, notwithstanding all his experience, he can choose for them the exact pose and lighting which they would prefer, but with this machine all can arrange such things to please themselves. One often says to himself when looking into a mir ror: "Now, if I could only get THAT expression and THAT lighting in a photograph, how much better it would be! But I can’t see how I look when the photographer has posed me and I don’t know how T am going to look until the picture is finished " It is to avoid this kind of disap pointment that the invention da scribed has been made The pictures are made on th* regular platino-bromide paper and lack nothing but the phot.ogra pher's touching up of the negative, which often does as much harm «* good. They are also made on pre pared post cards. in its usual form, the machine le intended to he placed In public places, like those that deliver candies, hut it can also he used without the device of dropping money In the slot, and then the mechanism can be set in motion by simply pressing a button. Not a Detail, It Seems, Has Been Missed in Its Making. Thus it becomes a private photo graphing apparatus for the home. In such countries as France, where photographs are often demanded on “cards of Identification" for many purposes, its usefulness is apparent. No detail seems to have been neglected in the automatic action of the machine. As soon as it has been set in motion, a bell rings, and thereupon a placard appears before the sitter reading: “Attention! Fix your expression In a few moments another sign appears: “Don't move!" Immediately afterward* the pic ture is taken by instantaneous ex posure, whereupon a third sign makes its appearance: "Thanks. The silting is finished. In three minutes you will find your por trait in the box at the bottom." After that, as before said, the sitter can watch many of the automatic proceedings of the ni. chine through the window* if it is a public machine that i* used, the sitter's coin remains in plain sight until the moment when the portrait is delivered. Your Coin Comes Back If the Machine Pails to Work. If for any accidental reason the apparatus fails to work through to the end, the coin falls Into an outer bowl and can be reclaimed by th* sitter So, as the inventor truly claims, his machine is “strictly honest." or. as he might hare said, automatically honest, in which respect it may be regarded a* a scientific Instructor in square deal ing.
