FORCE WOMEN TO PACK GUNS

BY United 4zsss.
Chicago, Jan. 13-Women walking
the streets with six shooters in their
belts may become spectacle here If
plans of some of the women's clubs
are realized. Prodded to action by
the daily recurrence of hold ups, rob-
berries, and assaults, one of the prom
inent clubs, the Englewood Woman's
club today discussed the desirability
of their members carrying weapons
on their shopping and other tours
away from home. -"
The plan is for each woman to car
ry small pistol plainly visible on a
belt.
Mrs. H. Heffernan, president of the
club; Mrs: Sarah: McGranery, vice
president, Lakeyiew Woman's club;
and Mrs, Smith, a prominent Raveh-

The race at the roller rink last
night was won by BERTHE Backlhnd
Two of the entries failed to appear,
but Lloyd Tanner and Berthe raced

Backlund gained a lap in the first
five and Tanner withdrew from the
race. Arrangements will be made
for a race between Backlund and
Ellsworth Ramsdell. Ramsdell has
raced at several places in Minnesota

POST ZONES NOT SAME
Higher Latitude Makes Smaller the
Degree Of Longitude in Actual
-. = Miles, Says Official.
NORTHERN CITIES LOSE OUT

Washington, Jan. 13-"The people
Of GAINESVILLE should remember the
scientific fact that the higher the lat.
itudeethe smaller the degree of lon.
gitude: in actual miles,. said an ot1ic.
ial Of the rasta aace department Sat.
urdaf night, III reference to the com.
plant from JanesvilIe..hat the parcel
post map for that city isswrong.
"The law specifies that the parcel
post zones shall be measured by thir-
ty-minute. squares. Therefore the
zones in the southern states are
larger in actual distance, measured
in4miles, and they decrease In diam
eter III the northern state, which are
nearer the north pole"
This official said that GAINESVILLE is
not the only city that has made a
complaint of inaccuracy Of the par
eel post map for that particular city
Detroit, Mich, made the same COM
plant to the department Saturday,
and it was answered in the same way
as the GAINESVILLE complaint is above.
Minneapolis might have made the
same complaint had someone noted
the distances accurately said the
official quoted above. &
Postoffice officials also said Satur.
day afternoon that a number of COM
plants that the new parcel post zone
maps were in error were founded on
a misapprehension by which the
country was divided into districts. 1t
was said patrons frequently overlook
ed the fact that some cities are not
situated in the exact center of unit
and labored under he misapprehen.
sion that the first zone Of approx
mately fifty miles should be described
with the city as a center, when the
fact was that the geographical cen
ter of the unit in which the city was
located was made the center.
Thus it happened that city in the
extreme corner of unit might be
only forty miles away from a neigh
boring city, and yet the neighboring
city would be in the second zone, in
stead of the first, because the circles
limiting the zones were described,
not from the city, but from the CEN
ter of the zone in which the city was
located.

GRAND RAPIDS DEFEATED
Big Bemidg" Team Scores Another
Victory By Winning With
Score of,21 to 8.
THE VISITORS ARE oUTcLAssED

"Big Bemidg, Bemidji's city. bas-
ketball quint defeated Grand Rapids
Saturday night By 2 score Of 81 to 8.
The game started 81 with rush and
for the first few anutea Of the game
it appeared that Bemidji would be
defeated by big score. Grand
Rapids made three scores the first
few minutes of play but the Bemidji
boys cooled down and did not let
them make fourth during the game
The visitors were much larger than
the local boys and were confident of
victory. Both sides played rough
game and several times Coach Carson
was forced to warn members of the
teams to stop the dirty work or leave
the floor. During the first half one
of the visitors found an excellent
hand hold in the vicinity of Bran
don's eye. and the game was delayed
for several minutes. Brandon was
unable to see out of one eye during
the remainder Of the first half.
Neuman shot most of the field bas-
kets and three fouls. Peck shot the
first field basket for Bemidji.s Neu-
man shot three field baskets and
Brandon srot two. and three fouls.
Bemidji was awarded one point from
a foul by Grand Rapids player. The
Grand Rapids players were fast but
showed lack of practise and were un-
able to break up sBemidji's team
work. : They took their defeat in
good spirit, however, admitting that
Bemidji had the faster team. -=7
After the game both teams and
several young people from Grand
Rapids and Bemidji, gathered in the
Odd Fellows hall where dance was
given by local team. The game was
wen attended and with the proceeds
from the dance which will be given
during the coming week the boys be-
lieve they can clear the debt which
they now owe. A manager will be
appointed this week and from now on
the boys will endeavor to keep out
of debt. Ii 49, IT,
Cass Lake will play here next week
and later games will be played with
faster teams. Duluth and Superior
have written for games and are will
ing to come under almost any condi-5
tions. These teams will probably be.
brought here if the local team con-
tinues to defeat the. smaller towns.

titled with much Of the most valuable
legislation enacted during the SEES
sions in which he has served.
When selected as the progressive
candidate for speaker, Mr.. Rines an
nounced that he had made no pledges
or promises to secure support and
that he would make none. That he
has been true to this his colleagues
generally believe. and his organiza-
ton of the house will undoubtedly be
progressive in character and will
stand for legislation demanded by
the people of the state and of benefit
to them.
One of the scandals of the last ses-
sion of the legislature was the extrav-
agance in the purchase of supplies,
including fountain pens,,;s, gilded
shears, jack knives. etc. This scandal
will not be repeated. The secretary
'of state and chief clerks Of the two
bodies purchased these supplies in
former sessions, but now all supplies
will be purchased by the committee
on legislative expense, and this COM
mittee will surely earn their salary,
judging by the way they have started
in. For instance, tney hav.: purchased
files for the re, esentatives for $675

ones in 1911. They bought seventy
lockers for the members coats and
hats, and will thereby dispense with
two cloak room keepers at IS per day
the cost of TIE lockers being only
1856.
Another important change for the
better in the house will be schedule
of public meetings for the committees
so that all may know beforehand
when and where they will meet. This
will make for greater publicity in
committee meetings-a consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished-and will
enable persons who wish to be heard
before committees on matters of leg
islation to learn without trouble
When to appear. Publicity in COM
mittee meetings is vital progressive
principle, and the progress made in
this direction by the session of 191 l
and in the present session is very en-
couraging indeed. The schedule. of
! committee meetings will be arranged
by the chairman of the standing COM
mittees, which have not as yet been
| announced.
Hon. J. A. A. Burnquist, the new
presiding officer of the senate, is, like
| Speaker Rines, progressive, clean,
| fearless and able. He is native of
Iowa and has practiced law at st.
Paul for a number of years. He served
in the Minnesota house in the SEES
sions of 1909 and 1911 and stood for

of the house two years ago but was
defeated largely because of the blum.
