GIRL STUDENTS TO
ADOPT SIMPLE LIFE
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.l

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRB,l
San Francisco, Jan. 23.-Here is what
the Associated Women Students of the
University of California have decided
to do:
They will attend as many social af-
fairs as formerly.
They will stop wearing costly bou-
quets.
They will forego riding in taxicabs.
They will dance in halls that are
bare Of decorations.
These sacrifices, they declare will cut
down the high cost Of learning and yet
allow for all the pleasure possible in a
university career,
Such course was decided on last
night at meeting of the Associated
Women students, which more than 500
co.eds attended.
"Get down to the simple life" was
the slogan Of the meeting.
Miss Jessie Harris, vice-president of
the Associated Women students and a
member Of the Delta Delta Delta Sor.
ority, started the simple life movement
when she offered a motion to discard
flowers, decorated halls and taxicabs.
The motion was carried unanimously.
As result the male students are
breathing easier. They indorse the
movement.
"Tho girls of the university have
been appalled, by the useless extrava-
gance of formal affairs of the univer'
sity life, " said Miss Harris today. ''We
decided to put a stop to it and through
our initiative we are confident that the
men students will save many dol
lar"
1t was originally intended to cut
down the number of social affairs, but
the women students decided that thC
cutting down the expenses Of affair
would better work out the problem.

DISPOSITION OF MONEY
VESTED IN COUNTY COURT
Editor Capital journal:

Editor Capital Journal:
'This office is in receipt Of numer.
GUS letters asking if the road bonds are
voted, where the money will be expend-
ed, and what system Of roads will be
improved. The committee in charge Of
the matter can satisfy many inquiries
by making some showing along that
line.'
The above editorial comment in last
nights Journal gives occasion for a
word or two on the subject Of the pro-
posed road bond issue.
The committee has not and cannot
state where the money will be expend-
ed nor what system Of roads will be i'm
proved, because the disposition Of this
money is by law-General Laws of Ore
gon, 1913, chapter 1O3-vested abso-
lutely with the county court. 1t is
their province to decide the location,
the variety and the cost of such i'm
provements, and to specify to such on
the election notices and upon the bal
lots.
Naturally, the court will not take the
matter up until it is officially called
to It's notice by the petition for the
election. When the election is ordered
the court will decide as to where the
money win be expended, and as to what
system Of roads will be improved.
In passing, it might be remarked that
the court has at its disposal the assist
ance Of the skilled engineers of the
state highway commission, which have
all the data and years Of experience in
scientific road building. Further, there
is no more cause to fear selfish or un-
fair disposition of the money raised
from the bonds, than there is to fear
for tho disposition Of the money raised
each year by the general road tax levy.
The county court will, of course, act in
its best Judgment for the benefit of
the county as a whole.

STATE NOT TO PAY


Harris had no authority to euter into
n contract with the Allied Printing
Trades council and was not directed to
involve the state printing plant in such
an agreement without the sanction Of
the state printing board. They further
allege that Harris was not authorized
by any Official member of the state
printing board to bind the printing
plant and its employees to the Allied
Printing Trades council and that the
action on the part of Harris in taking
such steps was unfair and entirely H.
legal In every respect.
Would Stop Pay,
The complainants were granted their
prayer that a temporary restraining or
der be issued against Harris aud Olcott
restraining them from drawing any
moro warrants in payment of salaries
in the state printing plant pending the
completion OF the litigation. The plain
tiffs further ask that the contract en-.
tered into between r. A. Harris and
the Allied Printing Trades council be
declared null and void and that the
temporary restraining order be made
permanent in the event the agreement
is not dissolved by the courts.

BELvA LOCKWOOD IN Pow.
ERTY

Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood has
been dispossessed by a court order of
the home she has occupied in Wash
ington for half a century and has re-
moved her effects to a little back
room, the only lodging she can now
afford, says the Syracuse Herald.
Such is the ending of the career
of one of the most noted women
in the United States. She is now
in her Gath year. She was born in
New York City, and Martin Van
Buren, was president of the United
States when she contracted her first
marriage-to Uriah II. McNall, a far
mer, who died in 1853. The next
stage OF her career is OF local interest
to Syracuse, for soon after her hus-
bands death she entered Syracuse
university, from which ST was grad
uated 81 years ago. In 1868 she mar
ried DR.. Ezekiel Lockwood, and was
again widowed in 1877. II was in the
early seventies that she studied law
and was admitted to the bar-a dis
tinction then very rare among wom-
en-and in 1879 she acquired a still
more notable distinction as the first
the supreme court OF the United
States. Nearly half a century ago
she was conspicuous as an advocate
OF woman's suffrage, even among such
distinguished contemporaries as
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B.
Anthony and Lillian Devereaux Blake.
Those who are old enough to remem-
Der the lyceum stage in the days OF
its greatest glories, 40 odd years ago.
Will recall Mrs. Lockwood as one of
its most gifted and popular speak
ers. She was the only woman who
ever ran" for the presidency of the
United States. In the memorable
campaign of 1884. when John p. St.
John. prohibitionist. and BENJAMIN F.
Butler. greenbacker. conducted a sort
OF political sideshow TO the battle
royal between Blaine and Cleveland,
Mrs. Lockwood impaired an additional
spice OF variety to the contest as the
presidential candidate of the national
woman's rights party.
Her present plight is due TO the fact
that she mortgaged her home in order
to carry on one of her political cam
paigns, and she was subsequently I'M
able TO redeem Il,

THE DOG IN THE MANGER.

The dog in the Manager" says the
Burlington Gazette, was an agreeable
and accommodating canine compared
with President Tearney of the Three
Eye league in his opposition to the
admission of Rock Island TO the Cen
trail association. II is quite true there
IS a rule IN organized baseball fixing
a five-miIe limit in which no other
rival organization under the associa-
ton can establish a team. But this
would scarcely obtain at Rock Island.
That city desired to enter the Three
Eye league and could not be accorded
a berth. Now the Three-Eye league
seeks TO bar Il from organized base
ball. The establishment OF a team in
Rock Island in the Central associa-
ton will not injure baseball in either
Davenport or Moline. II Will have the
effect of stimulating the interest. The
Central association should fight this
matter out and see how far Mr.. Tear
ney and his pals can go in depriytng
Rock .Island OF the game. An appeal

WEEKLY REST DAY UPHELD

The New York law requiring one
day OF rest in seven for workers in
manufacturing and mercantile estab-
lishments, the pioneer act of its kind
in the country. enacted in 1913 at the
instance of the Association for Labor
LEGISLATION, has just been upheld for
the second time in an important de-
cision by Judge Fish of the Niagara
county court.
The statute was attacked as uncon-
stitutional by the Niagara Falls Power
company, which had been convicted
in a lower court of not allowing Frank
y. Long, an electrical converter at
tendant, the required period of rest.
In affirming the conviction, Judge Fish
held:
81 think this act in question is a
valid exercise of the police power OF
the state, because 1t has a reasonable
connection with public health, welfare
and safety From time immemorial
il has been considered necessary for
the welfare of the individual that he
should have one days rest in seven,
and laws securing this have been held
constitutional. The state is interest
ed" continues Judge Fish, 'in build
ing up strong. virile citizens to till its
soil and develop its industries in times
of war, and. by appropriate laws with
in reasonable bounds, can guard the
health and welfare of the individual
from the cradle to the grave"
The extent of seven-day labor in this
country IS little realized. In 1907 a
special Massachusetts legislative COM
mittee estimated 221,9s5 persons, or Z
per cent OF the states population, as
working seven days a week. The Min
nesota bureau of labor reported 9S.-
55S seven-day workers in A groups of
Industries IN 1910, and in the same
year, the secretaries OF a number of
New York trade unions reported 35,-
TAP persons, or 10.6 per cent of their
membership. as engaged in this exces-
sive labor
The old type of Sunday law proved
inadequate to control the evil, and in
1913 New York and Massachusetts en-
acted the new type OF statute which
permits an employer to operate seven
days a week provided he gives each
employee one day of in the seven.
