Dutch Parliament Unanimously Re-

This means that women will no

because they are women. A revision
of the electoral law. however. Is
necessary before the actual granting

POSTAL SAVINGS
LIMIT NOW $1,000

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the postof-
fioe," reads an official bulletin OF
the department at Washington just
received by Postmaster Gregg.
"This Is made possible by an Inn
portant amendment to the postal
savings act. A postal savings de-
positor may now have an account
amounting to $1,000 upon which In
terest will be paid. Formerly 5000
was the maximum amount he could
lave to his credit. This enlargement
Of postal savings facilities will be
very gratifying to thousands OF de-
positors who have already reached
the old $500 limit and are anxious
to entrust more OF their savings TO
Uncle Sam.
Another feature OF the amend
ment that will avoid further embar-
rassment to the public and to postal
officials Is the doing away with the
limit on the amount that could be
accepted from a depositor monthly.
Under the old law only 500 could
he deposited in a calendar month.
"The amendment abollshes this
restriction. while the postal saw
ings system has already proved a
signal success as is shown by the
fact that more than 100000 deposit
tors have over $50. 200. 900 standing
to their credit. still II has fallen
short OF meeting the full demands OF
the public because OF the restrictions
which have now been eliminated.

DRAINAGE DISTRICT
DECLARED LEGAL

The supreme court of the state of
oregon this week handed down a
decision favorable to the Nyssa-
Arcadia Drainage district and con-
firmed the legality of the organiza-
tion OF the district. This clears up
all doubt as to the legal standing OF
the district and ends for all time
any doubt that may have existed as
to the right of the district to go
ahead with the work for which IL
was organized.
The decision was the result OF
friendly suit brought to test the
validity OF the organization OF the
district. which was appealed by
plaintiffs from the circuit court for
Malheur county.
Tho decision Of the supreme court
was received with satisfaction by
Secretary Frank ID. Hall and she dis
trict supervisors, as II gives the dis
trict solid legal foundation and
confirms the right OF the district to
sell bonds.

ty court for hearing objections to

The Yankee in Mexico.

Mexican politeness, like Spanish po-
likeness, is of the perfervid kind. Thus,
one of the flowers of speech which the
law of courtesy commands Mexican
host to use when he welcomes a guest
is a phrase to the effect that his
humble house" belongs not to him
self at all but wholly to his guest, and
that the latter may do with it what he
will.
Once this phrase cost a Mexican
some worry. He met an enterprising
Yankee, who was in Mexico drumming
up business, and, inviting him to his
home, told him that the house and
all it's belongings were his.
And the guest took the host at his
word. He bad his baggage moved
from the hotel to the Mexican's man
sion, proceeded to occupy that man
sion as his own, and after a few days
had passed generously notified the be-
wildered Mexican gentleman that the
latter might remain in the house for a
reasonable length of time, a couple
of weeks, perhaps, until he-the Mex
lean gentleman--had found a new
dwelling to his liking. And-impossi-
bly,, but it happened-it took legal pro-
ceedings to GUST the Yankee usurper
from the premises of the Mexican ca
ballero, who may surely be called a
martyr to his national virtue of civility.

Worlds Oldest Museum.

The museum in the city of Nara, the
former capital of Japan, is said to be
the oldest in the world. All the ex-
hibits, too, are equally ancient, or
rather more so, for, since its founda-
ton in A. d. 756, no addition has been
made to its collection
DR.. Otto Kummel, who tells us about
the queer old museum, is one of the
few Europeans who have been per-
mitted to visit it. Its doors are opened
only once year, when a special COM
mittee inspects the collection. The
museum contains about three thousand
articles, which are said to be the most
beautiful specimens of decorative work
ever done by the human hand. Where
the greater part of these treasures
came from, nobody knows. Some came
from China, others from Korea, but
most of them appear to have been
brought from a greater distance. They
have been in their present home for
more than eleven centuries, so it is
no wonder that their origin is un-
known l--Chatterbox.
