FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

Every now and then some old-fashioned
woman rises to the point OF protesting
against athletics for women, and then she
subsfdes under storm Of argument
from the members of her own sex. who
have found health and happiness in an
outdoor life. Now there are some old
fashioned customs which should have
been preserved, like obedience in children,
respect for age. and courtesy between
employers and employe. but We are glad
TO see the last of the sickly woman who
might be we'll and the woman who makes
life period of druggery
Women have always needed quite as
much fresh air as do the males OF the
family. bat they had to be educated 20
wholesome recreation. They had TO learn
to be companions to men in their sports
/ by competing with them. and possibly
they have been a trifle too jealous At
all events there are plenty Of them who
manage TO hold their own in play as in
work, and that is the best argument in

Do not be tempted to turn out those

LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE

board or keep house?

tons?

fort or inconvenience will work against

homework or else take advantage OF the
many lessons and lectures On domestic
ECONOMY from the moment she begins to
manage her own home. Otherwise it will
be impossible for her not TO waste to
some extent, Ignorance costs. Food will
be wasted because she does not know
how to cook II In a nourishing and appe-
thing way. Fuel and light will be vast

When Clyde Otto Lee left Pull
man, WASH, and his newly welded
wife three years ago, 1t was not
believed that he had forsaken the
one to whom he had so recently
pledged his love and support.
Last night Lee was brought to
the Spokane city Jail for safe keep
ing. In charge of Sheriff William
Cole, he is en- route from Seattle,
where he has been living with an
other woman. to Pullman, an un-
willing visitor to his wife and little
girl, now three years of age.
According to the statement of the
Whitman county official, the au-
thorities have been looking for Lee,
who was formerly employed on the
street car lines of Spokane, since
he deserted his wife, but he has
succeeded in eluding them.
Living the gay life in the cities
of the coast with a Mrs. Martin,
said to be former resident of Spo-
kane, he was finally landed by
Sheriff Cole at the Como hotel in
Seattle.

HOW ABOUT

SYSTEM, Ell?
Police and Fire Departments
Are Asking About It.
IN COMMISSION PLANS
Want It Incorporated in the
New Charter-No Pro-
vision Yet.

Not having been cared FOR in the
proposed city charter as far as it
has been written, members Of the
police and fire departments yester-
day announced their intention to
fight the charter If it should come
before the people in its present
form.
Earlier in the stage of the DELHI
eratiOns of the charter revision
commission selected by the mayor
the question of a civil service com
mission was considered and yo;ei
down, and the charter was left
Without any provisions along that

pared the final draft of the charter
now being considered by the com
mission has added no clause look

At the present time there is a
civil service provision concerning
the discharge of policemen and fire
men, but none regarding how or
in what name" they shall be
hired. In this way politicians can
fill the police force or fire depart
nent with their favorites, but they
cannot be removed without the fill
ing of charges and trial before
the police or fire boards.
1t seems that the matter of the
relation of the police to the pres
ent charter was sleeping quietly
until the last meeting Of the com
mission this week, when the draft
of the charter as thus far adopted
was placed in the vault at the pO'

The following day, when the copy
of the proposed charter was called
for. the police had it inspected fol
its position in relation to the pc

found on the subject. A quiet
storm of protest was then started
and it has grown right along evel
since, until there are a number Of
