WOMEN WANT
MORE OF THEIR
SEXASPOLICEMEN

OAKLAND, May 14-Appropriations
Tor policewomen for Oakland are TO
be included in the next budget of
The city of Oakland if the women Of
several organizations interested in the
matter have their way.
Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells, the first
policewoman of Las Angeles, who has
proved so efficient, made addresses in
20 California cities during March un-
der the auspices of the State w. G..
I. L., and as a result policewomen
are being demanded in many cities.
San Francisco women are demanding
three.
1t is the belief of those interested
in the movement that policewomen
are needed just as the law requires
women matrons of the county jails
and women to accompany girls to the
Whittier school, and just as women
probation officers handle girls I'm the
Juvenile Courts They believe the
idea that men may handle women
and girls is a back number and in
bad taste, to say the lest.
The policewoman is not thought Of
primarily as an arresting officer at
all, but her special duty is to watch
over the girls in the city and the
temptations and pitfalls which lead
girls astray.
II is said that no one in Los An
geles more heartily approves the in
stitution of the policewoman than the
policemen themselves, who wonder
how they got along under the old
system.

SAYS FINGER TIPS
ARE HOME OF GERMS

NEW YORK, May 14-This is the
age of germ theories, the ago when
We are all suffering from an overdose
of bacilh, and no medical practitioner
of a theorizing tendency is entirely
satisfied until he has evolved some
interesting doctrine which makes us
uncomfortable and suspicious Most
of us have observed from time TO
time that the surface of our finger
tips is made up of thicened skin.
Naturally we have assumed that this
thickness comes from constant use of
'he hands or fingers, and we have
supposed that piano playing, type
writing and kindred occupations may
be easily responsible for this thick
ened surface.
Not at ALL replies Or. Theodore
Miller of New York.
And to show that he is in earnest,
and that We are grossly mistaken in
our conclusions, DR. Miller goes on
TO declare that these thiclnesses are
the result of the operations Of fierce
germs which are imbedded in the
flesh Of the finger tips and sides and
on the base of the nails. This inter-
esting discovery comes from investi-
cation with a specially prepared mi
croscopa which has revealed the
germs in all their ferocity.
Or. Miller clinches his arumgent
with "A few illustrations Of a highly
pertinent if not impertinent. nature

Bates 'have regular corns on the sid;
Of their finger tips"
Here is where the revolution in
manicuring comes in. The scrub
woman has her hands continually in
soapy water. and if there are any
germs where the soap penetrates the
skin they exist only in a modified
form He argues further that thG
hang-nail is a partly detached germ
'insuffciently nurtured." The soar
that penetrates the skin partially de-
stroys it, and the tail end hangs away
from the head and partly imbeddeC

THE MEM PENSION BILL

BY vote of 81 to 16 the Senate on
Friday night rejected the Sherwood
dollar-a-day pension bill, which had
passed the House, and enacted the
Smoot general age and service pen
sion law, which it is estimated will
increase the pension roll by 100000.
600 annually during the next five
years.
The Sherwood bill was estimated to
involve an additional pension expendi,
ture averaging s56,OO0,O00 a year for
FIVE years. The Smoot bill was the
substitute offered by the pensions
committee.
The bill requires beneficiaries to
have served ninety days and provides
pensions ranging from $13 to $50 a
month. instead of a siXty-day mini
mum and SIS to $50 pension, as in
The House measure.
The Senate added provisions that
would prohibit attorneys fees and
that would grant $50 a month to
former soldiers disabled by service,
wounds or disease, the latter being es-
timated to add $2,500,000 to the annual
outlay under the bill.
The entire negative vote on the fin
al passage of the bill was cast by dem.
ocratic senators from southern states.
The northern democrats voted with
the republicans for the bill.
During the debate Senator Over
mans reference to the burdens of the
southern people because of pension
legislation brought pointed reply
from Senator William Alden Smith, of
Michigan.
81 remind the senator that this en-.
tire pension burden could have been
avoided by the South if it had been
loyal to the Union" said Mr.. Smith.
81 cannot remain silent and hear sen.
ators from the South complain of bur
dens our government has been called
upon to bear because of your own
unwillingness to live with us under the
same flag and in a united country"

Forgotten Fund Found.

Clarinda, April 2.-Special: A
pleasing discovery has been made
here that in one of the city banks Is
a deposit of $500, which has been
there for twenty-nine years forgot
ten. The money belongs to the pub.
lie, and the accumulated interest has
increased the deposit to a little more
than $1,100. Twenty.nine years ago
the sum of 5000 was secured by pub
lie subscription to build a soldiers
monument. For some reason the
project was allowed to languish and
the money, placed on deposit by the
Treasurer of the committee, was for
gotten" Recently however, the matter
was brought to public notice again,
and then it was shown how the
money had grown. With this nucleus
the old soldiers went to work, and
have secured total now of about
$4,000 to be used in the erection of
the monument, the plans of the local
G. A. r. post being to increase the
sum to $4,000.

Seed Corn Expert Says Farmers Must

Iowa farmers must depend upon
Iowa seed; first, because home grown
seed gives better results, and second,
because other states, with the excep.
ton of Indiana, are in worse condi.
ton than Iowa and will have none to
spare.
Every ear, of corn intended for
seed should be testsd. 1t Is simply a
business proposition. There is abso.
lutely nothing to lose and everything
to gain. The tests this year show the
seed to be unusually freakish. Many
ears are dead on one side and alive
on the other There will be big patch.

the rest of the kernels are strong.

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE
PRIMARY,

Now and then some Jealous friend
OF a candidate will enquire why the
Herald does not come out and declare
itself in favor of the best men for
nominations to be made at the pri-
maries in June. If the questioner
would stop to think he could readily
see that such move by local paper
would be suicidal.
After nominations are made it is
the privilege and the duty of party
papers to support the men selected by
the majority of the organization
which the paper champions. This
can be done without giving offense
hscause it is generally understood
that the considerations governing
such favoritism are purely political
and in no sense personal.
But before the nominations are
made, any preference expressed or i'm
piled must be based on personal
grounds, and it is not the province OF
a newspaper to be governed by its
likes and dislikes. Such a course
would be fatal to its influence and
usefulness. Besides a newspaper is
not invested with authority to pick
on candidates. Under the primary
system the whole matter rests with
the individual voter who is supposed
to be acquainted with the several
candidates and their respective mer.
it's and claims.
II any candidate feels that he is
not we'll enough known to the mass
of voters to rest his case with them
without publicity or argument the re-
course is open to him to buy news
paper space and advertise himself
and his purposes. This kind of ad-
vertising is every whit as legitimate
as the advertising of any commodity
and if judiciously done is just as
certain to produce results. 1t does
not give offense to other candidates
for these realize that the advertiser
speaks simply for himself in his own
interest and that the same oppor.
tunity is open to them on the same
terms. II the newspaper, on the
other hand should exploit the quslifi-
cations of certain candidates to the
neglect of others 1t would be guilty
of unfair discrimination between
citizens and would possibly put I'M
deserved humiliation upon worthy
men. II will be plainly seen from this
that the only proper course for a
newspaper to pursue in local contests
under the primary arrangement is to
keep hands of and allow every aspir.
ant for nomination an equal chance.
If candidate chooses to exploit him
self that is his business, and II Is
entirely proper that he should do 50.
