SELL KISSES TO
AID SUFFRAGE
Hubbies Also Deprived of Meat on
Sacrifice Day.

Washington, Aug. 1.-August Is has
been proclaimed Sacrifice Day" by the
suffragists of Washington. On that
day the women will sell suffragist
kisses, their husbands will be depriv-
ed of meat and the money will be
given to the campaign fund.
But the pretty and vivacious younger
suffrage workers protest that this dis.
tfibution of kisses is not such a great
sacrifice after all. At the headquarters
of the Congressional Committee Of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association they merely describe these
kisses as "the suffrage kiss-the kind
that is different" The younger mem
bers, when asked about them. pucker
up their lips and insinuatingly suggest
Wouldn't you like to try one?"
They absolutely refuse to give the
recipe. They say it is brand new
one. The kisses are to be sold al
candy stores, drug stores, at all amuse
ment places about Washington, and a
generous share reserved for "private
distribution"

AN IRISH BULL
"rm Dead" Says Rescued Diver From
Bottom of River.

New Orleans, Aug. Herman
Schnell, the Algiers diver whose life
has several times been all but snuff
fed out while pursuing his dangerous
calling, had another narrow escape
from being suffocated in his diving ap-
paratus Wednesday while cropping
about on the river bed 60 feet below
the surface of the water in search of
an anchor and 80 feet of chain that had
been lost from the steamship Usage.
When in response to his desperate
signals to be hauled up, the diver was
laid unconscious on the deck of the
pumpboat, his head was greatly swol-
len and blood was trickling from his
nose, ears and mouth.
Heroic measures by DR.. A. ]. Babin
soon brought Schnell to his senses.
'Tm done for-I'm dead" was the first
utterances of the diver when consci.
BUSINESS began to return to him. He
was almost fully recovered from his
terrifying experience when seen at his
home in Slidell avenue, Algiers, Thurs.
day morning.
"This is not the closest shave have
had with death under the water, but
was close and terrible enough" said
Schnell in describing his experience
"As soon os l felt the air escaping
from my apparatus I gave the signal
to hoist me and tried to prevent the
air from leaving me too fast. AL
though the water pressure against my
body was terrific, it was nothing com
pared with the choking sensation IN
my throat"
The blowing out of plug in one o.
the air pipes under the strain of
pressure of about thirty-fve pounds
to the inch was the cause Of the acct
dent. Even before Schnell signaled t.
be drawn up Willie Crilly, who hat
charge of the pumps, felt the jar tha'
told Of the accident and instantly be
gan hauling the diver up. Crilly's cool
ness did much towards preventing
more serious consequences to Schnell

Estate LAW GOVERNS
STREET TRAFFIC
CITY HAS ORDINANCE EXTENDING
STATUTE OF THE CITY OF
HATTIEcsURe.

Careless automobile drivers did not
know that they were violating both a
state law and city ordinance when
they fail to observe the simple rules
of traffic about meeting and passing
other vehicles and pedestrians" said
Mayor Batson today.
"The editorial in The News Of yes
terday called my attention to the need
of city ordinance to COVER traffic on
the streets and l at once took the
trouble to look the matter up. I find
that there is state law, namely, No.
4412, code of 1906, relating to roads,
ferries and bridges, which makes 1t
a misdemeanor to wilfully fail to keep
to the right on meeting another vehicle
or on being overtaken by a vehicle
The same law places a fine of IS for
each offense and makes the wilful
violator liable for whatever damages
may be incurred as a result of his
violation. There is also a city ordi.
nonee (No 267). which extends the
statute to the municipality as WE'LL"
"I am well aware of the violations
Of the traffic rules and that serious
damage may result by failure to OBJ
serve them and person may expect
little clemency at my hands If he is
brought before me for breaking them,
said the mayor.

Y. NC. A. Bids
All Too High
For Directors
SPECIFICATIONS WILL BE RE-
visED AND NEW BIDS
CALLED FOR.

The bids of the contractors for the
construction Of the Y. M. c. A. build
ing were opened today by the board of
directors and all were turned down be-
cause they were too high. The con-
tract will not be let now until new bids
can be submitted. The new bids will
be opened on August Is.
It was declared by the meeting of
the board which was held at the Com
mercial Club that new specifications
will be made by the architects and
after they are approved by the board
will be the basis for the new bids.
There are certain economies which
can be practiced, which will in no way
effect the permanency of the e'building
itself, but which will greatly reduce
the total cost.
None of the bids today came within
the total amount which is the limit set
by the board of directors to be expend-
ed in the construction of the new
association building. The directors
acting on the advice of competent men
decided that the fault was not with the
contractors, but with the specifications
as they now are and action will be
taken at once to have them revised
so as to come within the limit
The directors say that none Of the
important features of the building will
be sacrificed and that the changes
,, will be unimportant except in appear
ances.
Four contractors submitted bids
, The bids were returned to the contrac
tors without disclosing to anyone out
side the board what was the amoun'
of the bids. The same contractors will
be asked to bid again.
