Mrs. Warburton Calls en

"Ooed morning. Are you en your

This Is the question directed te
every woman iltlcn in Philadelphia
tedny by Mrs ISarcluv II. Warbur

phia. "In order te vote," said Mm.
Warburton, "jeu must register,
Registration day is September 7. Hut
In order te register you must be
assessed. If your nnii.e Is net en the
assessors' list, jeu enn have It placed
there by calling at your polling
pince today.
"Hemeinber, nil previous registra
tions nre void. Every woman must
be aflaessed by this evening te cast
her TOt In November."
Again the old adage "love laughs nt
locksmiths" comes true.
Hut In this case it required the money
of a llnstnlth, Harry Lnhreehnr, t.i
make it come true. He has forgiven
his wife Kvelvn. the Gloucester tele
phone opernter. who eloped with Walter
Hntr.el nnd In her prison cell tednv told
her he would furnish the bnll which
would open the prison doers.
And te make the forgiveness complete
there will be n big dinner In the Lab Lab
rechnr heme when its eloping mistress
returns te pick up the domestic thread
which she broke abruptly te lice te New
Orleans with n mnn whom she thought
she loved.
Ah dawn filtered through the window
of .Airs. Lahrocher's cell, her husbnnd
clasped her in his arms nnd told her
nlT Wils forgiven.
She went upon his shoulder.
Tien slie murmured:
"Where Is Dixie?"

"I knew jeu'd want te see him,"
said Lahrochar." but I left him home

Tills appeared te npnease Mrs. Lah
rochar. She smiled when assured that
the deg was safe.
"De you bathe nntj feed him?" she
nsKcil.
Assured that this had been done, Mrs.
T.nbrechar's happlnesa wus complete.
Mho smiled nnd kissed her husband
ngi'ln.
Lahrochar left In jubilant mood nnd
said he was assured of getting the
necessary bill. Then he arranged te
have n dinner worthy of the return of
the mistiess of the household.
Hut Hal.el. who has been In lail
since he wis bn. light back fiem New
Orleans, vvlieie he and .Mrs. Luhrecliar
were arreted, was in somewhat gloomy
mood teda.v. He heard of the recon

Dr. Spltzkn. In defiance of popular
oninien. testified thnt Guitcnu was of
unsound mind. , .
Like his son. the elder Dr. Spitzlm
died of apoplexy In 1UH, ami ins ui.im
was turned ever te Dr. Kdward An An
teony Spltzka for examlnatinti. Tlie
son weighed, measured nnd made draw
ings of Ills father's brain. The elder
Spltzkn's brain weighed 1400 grams,
which Is 100 grams heavier thnn t ie
average human brnln. Although the
elder scientist died suddenly of apo
plexy, it wns after a prolonged Illness
nnd several operations for necrosis of
the jaw, and his son said that In nor ner
mnt health Dr. Spltzka's brain would
have been appreciably heavier.
At that time the younger Dr. Spltzka
tinned the brain ever te Columbia uni
versity for pieservatien, te be examined,
be said, cither after his own death or
at such n time an n brain nnntemlst
might appear who would be competent
te de the delicate work required. Dr.
Kdward Antheny Spltrka expre-scd the
desire thnt his own brain might be ex
amined with his father's, and the mens
ureiucntrt of the two compared.
Dr. S'pllzka's connection with Phila
delphia ended shortly nfter his fnthcr s
death. II" went te New Yerk te take
up l he elder man's llfewerk In neu neu neu
lolei'y nnd brain anatomy, and nddcel
his own collection of the brnliis of
famous men te the collection his father
had spent many years In forming.

Tlie dinger Spitka became prosecter

Authority en Electrocution
Th SpitzKas. father and son. were
nmeng the i-inllest authorities en elec
trocution. The elder Spitzkn directed
the first electrocution In New 'ierk, and
afterward expressed horror nt whnt he
Intel teen. He advocated the guillotine)
as the most merciful way of ending the
life of n man condemned te death, pine
ing electrocution second and hanging
third. , , ., , .

tlie effes-t of electricity cm the liumnn

hnd been hnnged could be resuscitnted
by the expert use of electricity If his

,"The enemy's offensive toward'

from our troops, who repulsed fresh
attacks. The number of enemy killed
and wounded exceeds 10,000. Out
forces retired in order, destroying com cem com
mulcatlens. "Tlie enemy 'has net yet occupied
Eskl-Sliehr, although the town hat
been evacuated five days.
The mnssnercB nnd persecution of the
Christians in the evneuntcd districts
continue. A censldera'de number of
refugees ere following our retiring

In general the military situation Is"
regarded In official nnd ether circles as
continuing te improve mid the position
of the Southern Greek forces nt Ala

Constantinople, Aug. 23. (By A.
P., delayed) With tlie excitement
ever the Greek threat te invade Con
stantinople barely subsided, a new
menace against the capital has arisen.
The danger no longer comes from the
Greek side, but from Ismid, where the
Turkish Nationalists under Mustapha
Kemul hnve concentrated an army of
mere than 10,000 men whose avowed
purpose is te march en Constantinople,
drive out the Greeks und claim the
ancient metropolis In the name oil

In anticipation of nn offensive by
the KemnllstH thu Hritisn nre with
drawing nil their troops from the Clint
aldjn lines, where they recently were
sent te keep back the Greeks nnd
their places will be taken by the
French. The British troops will be
ued te forestall nny forward move
ment by the Keninllsts en the capi
tal. Ismid, which Is" an Important sup
ply base of tlie Turkish Nntlennllsts,
Is less than 100 miles from Constanti
nople, nnd it is pointed out that the
only formidable obstacle the Kcmal
ists would encounter en n march to

long-range lire of the allied fleet in the
sea of Mnrineru.
