NEW YORK. Nov. 2. An Interest-

by the Womnn'rt Political Union for
watchers at polling places where tho

Here are a fow:
'"Don't wear fluffy ruffleB." .
"Don't ask Inspectors to sharpen

"Don't talk; keep your eyes and

WORD "MOTHER" RESTORES
THIS SOLDIER'S REASON!
LONDON. Nov. 2. Tim w6rd "moth
er" which saves lives and spareB the
honor fif innocents in the melodrama.
has actually restored reason to a sold
ier In France whose mind had been
left a' blank by shell shock.
A concert party had gone over from
England to cheer up the sick and one
of their number a well known tenor
sang tho old favorite "Mother Macb
reo". Anion ir the audience was a
nerA-e shattered soldier who came out
of a bombardment not only blind but
nlmnst an idiot lie could understand
nothing babbled meaninglessly and
had to be treated liKe an iniani. nv
was still blind when taken to the con
cert The word "mother" recurred in
the song and the soldier :augl't at
it. When the song was nnisned ne
wan still mutter In ir the word to him
self. But It nroved the key to his
memory. He began to recall detached
incidents about himself ana later re
covered both his mind and his sight.
Rineers visitlnc the hos51tals say
that tho wounded like Jolly songs
either absurd or of the old fashioned
rollicking kind. They have a partic-
ular dislike for the purely patriotic
song tnat has no numor in it.

re
Rounded with arguments for and
'against the plan. Chicago and Cleu-
jlnnd adopted settlement ordinances
which eliminated for the time being
nt Irtist municipal ownership. In San
Francisco and Senttle only a conipnr-
atiey Binnll proportion of the mil-
eage la owned nnd operated by the
people. 4
To carry.'tho plan must receive a six-
ty per cent affirmative vote.
For years all efforts of the local
traction compnny to obtain new fran-
chise grants havo failed. Ah a result
while the population has Increased
with great rapidity Btreet car service
hnB not kept pace and tho referendum
therefore Ib snld to have aroused the
personal Interest of most of the vot-
ers. The lines have been operating for
the most part on n day-to-day agree-
ment with ticket selling seven for n
((unrter at nil times except during the
two rush periods when eight for-a-iiuartcr
tickets must bo honored. Only
on n few miles of track on' tlio old
Plngrco threo-cent fare lines are tho
eight for-a-quarter tickets good at nil
hours.
If municipalization enrrtat tho
traction system will he managed ' by
tit reo commissioners serving without

til recently vice-president of tho Ford
Motor Car Co.; John p. Dodge of tiit
Dodgo Motor Car Co. nnd Jnme
Wllkle of tho I'arko-DavJs Chemical
Co.
Criticism of the plan Includes opin
ion that It will mako n political foot
hall out of tho lines. To this anBwcr
Irt made that the commission will have
complete power that tho mayor Is
plodged to retain In office the com-
missioners named and that tho com-
missioners havo agreed to stay in of-
fice. Labor organizations havo ob-
jected on two grounds namely that
the plan will Invalidate the arbitra-
tion ngreement between the compnny
and the union and that the civil sct-
vlco proviso of the plan will weaken
if It does not disrupt the union.
That tho votere do not know pre
cisely what the lines will cost Is an
othor objection raised. An appraisal
of tho lines by Prof. E. W. Hemls gnvo
tho value of the property as Jlv.ooo-
ouo. At one time the company declin-
ed a municipal offer of 523.285.000 toi
the lines. According to me present
plan the valuation will be fixed by the
circuit court of Wayne county (De-
troit). Tho plan provides that a rate
of fare sufficient to meet all obliga-
tions shall be charged and It haB been
argued In 6orae quarters that this
might result In a higher rate.
