California, made a bitter attack yes

Knowland declared that President
Wilson had promised Sir Edward

The house of representatives con
sumed several hours yesterday de-

the Presidents repeal policy and
seven members opposed to it. The

BERLIN. Germany. March 20.
Melt Beese, the only aviatress
in Germany. has designed a hy-

to use it in making a trip across
the Atlantic ocean.
Miss Beese has obtained much
note here for her daring work
in the air and she is the only
woman in the German empire
who has attempted anything of
the sort. her plan to cross the
ocean in a machine of her own
make is attracting wide atten-
ton.
Soon after it was announced
that there would be an interna-
tional race of flying machines
around the world, in 1915, Miss
Beese declared that she believed
that she would try to make
trip across the ocean. She be-
gan the study then of the most
improved hydroplanes made, and
now she asserts that she has in
vented one that is perfectly safe.
1t is so arranged, she says, that
she can alight in midocean, and
make necessary repairs while
riding on the waves, and then
rise into the air and continue
her tourney.

Volcanic Eruptions
Change an Island

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20
Trans-Pacific steamers have brought
reports of severe volcanic eruptlons
in the South Pacific ocean. 1t is
reported here that the whole face
of Ambryn Island, New Hebrides,
has been altered as the result of
the volcanic eruption last month.
The site of the mission hospital
now is fathoms beneath the sea,
while there are two miles of hilly
country where there was previously
sea. During the eruption the sea
was boiling and turtles and fish
rose to the surface cooked
DR.. Bowie, principal missionary
on Ambryn Island, says one by one
the mountains burst into flames,
until ten volcanoes were emitting
molten lava.
There was no panic among the
natives, who numbered $500 in the
threatened districts.
Natives were drawn into the
streams of lava and others were
blown away in the boats in which
they had taken refuge and were
drowned or boiled in the sea.

Woman Would Sell
Husband for ST, 900

BOSTON, Mass, March 29.-Mrs.
Agnes Evelyn Jones Bedell of Quin-
cy, who offered her husband for sale
for $1,000, declares husbands S value
snOuid be determined BY his ability
as prOyider and companion. Mrs.
Bedell, who insists that her hus
band is a good companion and will
make any woman kind and consid-
crate mate, says she will never
marry again if she succeeds in max
ing the sale.
Mrs. Bedell advances number Of
unusual theories. For one, she de-
clares "it is more honorable to sell
ones husband than to pay witnesses
in a divorce suit TO lie and expose
family rows that should never be
known TO the outside
She assert she does not believe in
affinites Ion the sly" and doesn't
want any married men giving her
% hats, 500 furs and coats, "and
giving his wife 80 hats and sl5
coats"
While Mrs. Bedell is telling of her
beliefs, her husband, William Bedell,
who is willing to be sold, thinks
out loud for himself. He says he
knows exactly how much a man or
woman is worth, and knows how
to compute their value.
"a woman" he says, is worth
just twice as much as a man; blonde
women are one-third more valuable
than brunettes. Men between 20
and 80 years old are worth $500;
between 80 and As, $1,000; and be-
tween 45 and so, $4,000
Bedell prefers to be sold to a
blonde woman and for that reason
SAYS his wife should reduce the
price of $1,000 to one-half that
amount if the proper golden-haired
woman comes along.
Il am willing to be sold for $500
to blonde he says, for l think
that blondes are more faithful than
brunettes. They make better house
keepers and do not possess the
temper cherished by the average
woman Of black hair and eyes. l
would also like this blonde to be
plump and tall; like tall women

that he wanted to appear like
