Privilege of Voting Will Be
Grafted Before the General
Election of 1918.
DEPUTIES FAVOR THE CHANGE
President of Commission Has Re
port Ready for Presentation
to the House.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS. Dec. 6.—Probably because
the F'rench women have never for a
•Ingle moment thought of using mil
itant methods, the women of France
•re certain to receive the privilege
of voting before the new general elec
tion in 1918, for the number of friends
of woman s suffrage Is rapidly grow
ing in the Senate as well as In the
Chamber. Only a few days ago, M.
Louis Andrieux pointed out in the
latter House “that universal suf
frage is a sham as long as the half,
and the best half,’ of the population
Is left out.”
The Frenchwoman,” said another
Nationalist Deputy, “is the most eco
nomical of housekeepers,the most de
voted wives, the most vigilant of
mothers and the most ardent of pa
triots. Those are the solid qualities
which our women will bring to the
ballot box. when suffrage becomes
tea 11 y universal.”
Altogether, there are about 200
Deputies quietly working for wom
an's suffrage.
The Socialists, of course, are fem
inists to a man, but they only num
ber some 70 or 80. The rest are
drawn from all sections of opinions,
and include names of the highest
•landing in French political circles.
M. Ferdinand Bulsson, president of
the commission, has his report ready,
end is only waiting for the opportune
moment to present it to the House.
He is wise enough not to be in a
hurry in order that the question may
be thoroughly gone Into. The Prime
Minister is of the same mind.

‘Wit’ Entertains by
Taking Piano Apart
Insistent Hostess Punished When
Amateur ‘Monologist’ Declares He
Can Not Repair Instrument.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Dec. 6.—A Paris wit, M.
Galipaux, is w’ell known for his amus
ing monologues. Recently at an even
ing party his hostess was particular
ly pressing that he should entertain.
M. Galipaux at last consented.
“I must have a hammer and a
screwdriver,” he said. "I will give you
a monologue on the way in which
musical instruments are made.”
The tools were brought, and the
humorist began to take to pieces th*
grand piano, keeping up a running
stream of amusing patter. At last
the piano lay a tangle of wires and
keys on the drawing room floor. The
applause was sincere.
“The only thing is,” whispered M.
Galipaux to his overinslstent hos
tess, "I have not the faintest idea
how to put it together again.”

Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Dec. 6.—The Kaiser is
determined to stop the recklessness

has been sharply criticised in prac
tically the whole German press.
German law imposes no speed limit
on members of the royal families,
but the Kaiser has ordered all the
members of his family to keep with

sixteen miles an hour. Any infringe

punished severely.

How to Make
Better Cough Syrup Than
You Can Buy
A Family Supply, Saving $2 and
Fully Guaranteed.
A full pint of cough syrup—as
much as you could buy for $2.50—
can easily be made at home. You
will find nothing that lakes hold of
the ordinary cough more quickly,
usually conquering it inside of 24
hours. Excellent, too, for spasmodic
croup, whooping cough, bronchial
asthma and bronchitis.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar
with pint of warm water, and stir
for 2 "minutes. Put 2Va ounces or
Pinex (fifty cents' worth) in a pint
bottle, then ad/i the Sugar Syrup. It
keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
This is just laxative enough to help
relieve a cough. Also stimulates the
appetite, which Is usually upset by
a cough. The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup
on the inflamed membranes is well
known. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
white pine extract, rich in guaiacol
and other natural healing pine ele
ments. Other preparations will not
work in this combination.
This Pinex and Sugar Syrup rem
edy has often been imitated, but the
old successful mixture has never
been equaled. It is now used in more
homes than any other cough remedy.
A guaranty of absolute satisfac
tion, or money promptly refunded,
goes with this preparation. Your
druggist has Pinex, or will get It for
you. If not, send to The Pinex Co.,
Ft. Wayne. Ind.
Whips Girl Typists

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Dec. 6.—Almost unbe
lievable conditions were exposed here
in a police court recently, when two
voting girl typewriters accused Jo

The girls said they were required
to take an “oath of obedience" to
their master, that they were required

considered they had done wrong, he

French Flier Tries

Special Cable to The American.
PARES. Dec. 6.—It is seldom that

Merchants and Manufacturers
Get Ready to Extend Commerce.
Good Feeling Prevails.
By FREDERICK WERNER.
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Dec. 6.—There is not tho
slightest doubt that German mer
chants and manufacturers are ex
ceedingly well pleased with the new
customs tariff of the United States
and that it will stimulate them to
make strong efforts to extend the
German market in the States.
It is impossible to read a German
paper without noticing the new spirit
of good will toward America which
the revision of the American tariff
has created. It has entirely taken the
wind out of the sails of the Pan-Ger-
manistic movement and everywhere
you hear the opinion expressed that
there is really no longer any reason
why the relations between the two
countries should not be most cor
dial In every w’ay.
Germans fully realize how isolated
they stand in Europe. They are per
fectly well aware that their country
does not possess a single friend here
and that every effort should be made
to win the respect and confidence of (
America. It is especially hoped that
the two countries may find a way of
working together in the Far Ea3t,
where both are interested in coun
teracting and keeping down Japan.
In the opinion of our most up-to-
date and energetic merchants and
manufacturers, the commerce of the
world is bound to fall into the hands
of Germany and America,' whose
methods are more progressive than
those of the more old-fashioned Eng
land and France. Germans know
that Americans will be their most
dangerous competitors, but every
where they have already met them, :n
China as well as in South America,
they have found them fighting fair
and their relations have remained
friendly.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Dec 6.—Now that the
tango has been banned and barred
by maoy cities and has been forbid
den to Catholics, it is interesting to
note the progress the new dance has
made in England, where it hA» be
come a craze among all classes of so
ciety.
Even the dignified London Times
devotes a column or so to it daily.
Society has gone stark, staring m id
over It. and professors are cropping
up from every corner of the earth to
teach it.
E. Emile Jacques Dalcroze Inaugu
rated his School of Eurhythmies at
the King's Hall, Covent Garden, only’
a fortnight ago, and already he has
nearly 1,000 pupils.
"The object,” the Inventor said, ' :s
to teach people to realize the rhyth
mic melody’ of life. The new science
is based upon the natural Instincts
of the human species.”
Says The Times:
The “Times’” Comment.
“We may fairly ask, then, to what
sentiment of our own time the tango
responds It Is certain, for one thing,
that it has only become as popular
as it is because dancing in general
has become more popular.
“This may be laid to the credit of
the Russian dancers. It is due to
Pavlowa. who has succeeded in con
vincing the general public that danc
ing is true poetry, and to Mordkin and
others, who have persuaded them that
a male dancer does not necessarily—
as Southey thought—deserve to be
ham-strung for effeminacy. This re
vived interest in stage dancing is one
of the reasons why people are anxious
to perform in the ballroom a dance
like the modern tango, which is
adapted to the theater.
Tango a Pageant.
“The rage for the tango is, in fact,
part of our new sense of pageantry.
The latter days of the waltz In Lon
don were days which saw’ few pomps
except the Lord Mayor's Show. Much
has changed since then. The last two
reigns have given us a revival of roy
al ceremonial.
“At the present moment feminine
apparel has a note of exotic fantasy,
w'hile the staid yellow and brown
bricks of our streets a.- being dally
r°olaced by Babylonian palaces with
majestic columns. The dances of a
spectacular age must likewise catch
the eye. That is the secret of the
tang<j.”
It It “Restful."
And one critic thus describes the
new dance:
“No longer will it be permitted, as
in the drawing room Lancers, to seUe
a lady round the waist and whirl her
violently off her feet.
“The practice of gripping a lady by
the throat, or twisting her round and
round, after clutching at her back
hair, as performed in the Apache
dances w’hich were so popular in
Mayfair last season, will be discour
aged by those dignified and gracious
courtesies of the tango.
“It is the dreaminess, the absent-
mindedness of the tango, which ap
peals so much to Its devotees, and ii
so restful after the violence and Jerk-
iness of the turkey trot. A man maj
compose poetry or say his prayers
while he dances it.

Prince Henry of Prussia There
Incognito to Feel Pulse of
the Public.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Dec. 6.—Prince Henry of
Prussia has Just arrived in Paris on
an incognito mission of a curious
kind, if an as yet undenied story be
true. He has been sent by his broth

to put it. He is sent to feel the pulse
of the French people.
Wilhelm has great desire to visit
Paris. Since the Franco-Prussian
War, German sovereigns have not
been especially popular this side of
the border. Wilhelm has sent Henry
to learn whether the Kaiser ever may
come here as a welcome guest.
