State Operation Of Six Months Schools Biggest Topic Ahead Of Assembly This Week; Other Bills (CONTINUBU FROM PAOB ONE i organisation, who said a policy Which maintained no relation be tween the amount spent for schools and the taxes paid was unsound and feared loss of local Interest. State Supt. A. T. Allen, who did not speak also warns that if the six month law proposed Is adopted, many small dis tricts now operating eight months with equalizing and extended term aid, will be forced to reduce the terms or levy more taxes. The mat ter of revenue is worrying some leg islators. The educational commission’s eight months school bill has not ap peared, but the Butler bill Introduc ed would provide an eight months term, 40 days of which the county board of education could suspend, if attendance went low, It would require the state to raise $20,000,000 and that a state-wide tax rate of 23 cents per $100 property j valuation be levied and collected by | the counties, the proceeds turned in-, to the “state school fund” in the | state treasury and salaries and ex-' penses be paid from this fund by ] order of the county boards. The 1 state board of assessments would be' authorized to raise or lower the 23 cent rate as conditions warrant. J Teachers would receive their present j salaries under the state salary sche-. dule for two years, less the last in-! erement earned through training j and experience. Extra pay for teach -1 ers may be raised by local taxes, not1 to exceed 5 per cent of the total teacher budget. a Dili iniroaueea mui wouia cur, teachers salaries 10 per cent was the subject of an exchange of letters ' between State Supt, A. T. Allen and Governor Gardner, the former ask ing If the latter favored a cut for, teachers. Governor Gardner replied that he did not favor a cut for teachers alone, but knew bil's would be Introduced cutting them and con cluded that If one should be cut, all public employes should be treated nli'-p. He estimates that $4,000,000 will be raved the taxpayers and states that others have received cuts In salaries to that extent or more. A break, or near break, between Governor Gardner and Lieutenant Governor R, T. Fountain, president of the senate, has developed over President Fountain's appointments on the committee to consider Gov ernor Gardner's administrative re organization plan, Including the “;hort ballot.” Inference is that the committee was "stacked" with mem bers opposed to the governor's plan. Governor Gardnfr holies, however, that his plan, including the appoint-1 ment of all officers created by stat ute by the governor, will have fair! Consideration. * The Parker bill, not exactly the governor’s proposal, would abolish] the present highway commts'fon. | creating a commission of five, nam ed by the governor, with legislative approval, who would create five dis tricts, with chairmen of county road boards, elected by the people, as members of the district commis sions. It would have the commission take over county roads. v Other bills Introduced nnd of gen eral Interest follow: Abolish the state highway patrol Require a driver's license of all automobile operators, costing $1 for two years for regular drivers and $2 each two years for chauffeurs. Making the colors of automobile tags those of the state university, white and light blue, alternating these colors between background and letters each year Allow deputy sheriffs,'us well as sheriffs, to lay off homesteads.

Two reasons, outside of the east ern political psychology, are given for the predomlnence of leadership in the east, one that, President K. T. Fountain, Who names the senate committees, and Speaker Willis Smith, who appoints the house com mittees .are both easterners, as a re sult of the alternating offices, and would naturally name more eastern men; the other that more shifts were made In the west In the last election, resulting In more new men, while the choice plums went to the more seasoned politicians of the east.

Booth s Kin Assails Modern Girls • • • • • • « • • Victoria Demarest Says Sports Tend to Unsex Moderns, Al though Last Year Sweet Unaffected Maidens Carried Off Many Athletic Honors.

But up to now noth ing very serious has occurred save | to Gertrude Ederle who attributes I her deafness to her Channel swim. ! But whether we agree or disagree i with the latest attack on the ath ■ letlcally , Inclined woman there Is much of Interest in what Victoria Booth Demarest, has to say about jher. Mrs. Demerset is the grand daughter of William Booth, found er of the Salvation Army and she has been a keen student of her sex both in Europe and this country. She believes that met! do not ad mire tiv; "steel-muscled, flat-chcst ed channel-swimming marathon running Amazons" that the colleges and athletic societies are turning out today. And she says that man Is becoming cynical in his attitude' to the sport-loving masculine wom |«n who makes the winning of ah] athletic title her main goal and do-1 I'- . . • ■ ___ .. ■ ,1 sire. Surely, however, the description applied by Mrs Demorset to our athletic maidens cannot apply to girls who have carried off athletic honors last year. There is lovely Helen Wills,who is womanliness arid daintiness personified. And there’s pretty Betty Nuthall, the young English girl who earne her and cap tured the national tennis title of the United States. To meet her, Is to meet a sweet, unaffected young miss whose whole manner and demeanor is that of a healthy, jolly girl, well educated and refined And she is al ways surrounded by a circle of de voted swains. Glenna Collett, too, is a shining example of the well-pois ed, graceful young woman able to shine in society and yet mix with the crowd. Gertrude Ederle is built on the athletic type, but she is a regular girl, charming and full of fun. And Helen. Madison, of Seattle. Wash., is another champion mermaid who is both charming, girlish and real. Suaanne Lenglen has always been a charming young woman, graceful and clever. She has never lacked admiration from the male sex and is also most popular with women. She is now operating her own dress making establishment in Paris and and has shown that she has a dis tinct flair, both designing and busi ness. Mrs. Demerest also flayed the' cigarette-smoking girl. She believes that she is sinning against genera tions as yet unborn and declares that she would be better off If she smoked a pipe or a cigar. The pres ent Styles of dress were also criticis ed by the English evangelist as well as the tendency of almopt every young girl to use cosmetics to cover her youthful complexion. Mrs. Dem erest declares that French women do not merit the criticism leveled at them and remarked that the line of demarcation between the good woman and the bad is more clearly defined in Paris than in New York. She also spoke vehem ently against birth-control and re marked that modern woman Is wasting her .vital forces. The granddaughter of William Booth has gained fame as an evan gelist, speaker and writer on wom an and her problems. Her address was given at the Madison Ave. Meth odist Episcopal church, New York City, and she spoke on ‘‘Woman and love.” Governors Study Welfare Problems Reads of seven Eastern States gather ut Albany, N.

Doomed To Hang, He Writes Letters To Fool Mother Canon City, Colo.—A doomed murderer scratches away hour after hour in the Colorado state prison here in a strange race to complete the writing of 132 let ters before he goes to the gal )ows during the week ending January 31. The writer is John Walker, 42. one of three men doomed to die in a triple execution for killing a deputy Sheriff pear Eads, Colo., after a bank robbery last March. The others are Claude Ray, 24. and Andrew Holliday, 22. »Ray and Halliday smoke and Idle away their last days, but not Wal ker. Seated on the edge of his brink and bending over a soap box for a desk, he is determined to complete the letters before he dies. Every one of them is addressed to his 70-year-old mother, Mrs, Julia Rhodes, of Joplin, Mo. But each let ter carries a different date. There is one for each month of the next 11 years. That is why there are 132 of them. The letters are to be entrusted to a friend in Canon City, who will mall one to the mother each month for the next 11 years. In that way she will be misled Into believing her son still is alive—that he merely is serving a 20-year prison sentence, a sentence that can be completed in 11 years with good behavior. By this deception. Walker hopes to save the life of his mother, for she is seriously ill. When her son was sentenced to hang, she was told he had received only a 20-year sen tence, as doctors say announcement of her son's fate would be fatal to her. She is not permitted to read newspapers. Then came the supreme court de cision that the slayers must die. How then could the deception be continued as the mother would ex pect letters from her son. So he de cided to write enough letters to last 11 years. The crime for which the trio must die took place while they were fleeing after robbing the Manter tKan.) State Bank. Speeding west ward into Colorado, they were pur sued by Undersheriff Coral A. Hick man, whom they shot. After a sensational chase in which 10 airplanes, bloodhounds and a pocsee of 250 took part the trio was captured at Jetmore, Kan. “It's hard to think up things, years in advance, to put into let ters,” says Walker. “But mother will not mind some duplication. I'm do ing my best.” stolen Tag*. j Local officers on Saturday ar rested Leander Ho vis. colored, on the charge that he had in his pos session two sets of new automobile tags believed to have been stolen.

Rules to Follow on j the Road to Health ——Simple, and Within Yoi~r Power to Obey Take Stock of Yourself Once in a While, Resolve to tfanish Those Health Shortcomings, Urges Dr. Copeland, Listing a Few of the '"Don’ts By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, New York City. I T is a good thing to take stock of ourselves onca in a while. After a Summer out of doors, we come back to city and town with brown faces and good health. Those are the result ox nav ing lived a more natural existence than we do the rest of the year. Probably, if we were to ask the av e r a g e person hew many hours a day he spends out doors dur ing the Winter months he would be ev as PP COPELAND :vo on me subject. as a matter oi fact many persons do not enjoy good health because they are not enough out-of-doors. There are certain health rules that all could follow with good re sults, if they would. Most persons are so busy they really do not give enough thought to ruies of health. Of course, the less we think about disease tbc better for us. At the same time It is needful to map our day so that we shall be doing the things that make for good health. Supposo we consider today some of the rules that should help us along tlio road of good health. You know them as well as I do. but somehow or other they are not ob served as they should be. There is something about human nature that makes us resentful of rules and prohibitions. We are willing t* be ted but not driven. Dut bear with me if I remind you of your shortcomings. Vou may write and remind me of mine. Then wo will be even! As regards the eating rules—have you any that you really observe? Or do you ns regularly as sunrise eat too much food? Honestly. Is that the reason you are taking on weight? Overeating is one of the common faults of mankind—and this Include* womankind. An excess of proteins —meat and eggs, is as great a fault as the taking of too much of the sweets. To havo good health, some of the bulky, raw foods should be con sumed every day. Cabbage, lettuce, apples and celery are some of the things that come to my mind. Eat slowly, enjoy your food, get its real taste. Drink lots of water, not at meals, but between times. Taking an abundance of water aids the elimination. It helps to keep the intestines clean. The waste materials and poisons are carried away when there is plenty of water in the system. Tou know as well as anybody that plenty of sleep In a well-venti lated room is essential to health. Impure air and insufficient rest are responsible for many Ills. Light, loose, porous clothing wilt Increase your well-being. Men are given to wearing too heavy clothing. A reform in this ^matter would be an aid to health, Oct out of doors all you can. Hold your chin up, your stomach in and your spine straight. Walk vig orously and act as tf living were a Joy. Then you will be fit company 1 for kings and common men! I ^Answers to Health (^uencBj C.
