LEGISLATURE CONSIDERS
WORKING HOURS FOR WOMEN
CBy United press.)

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov %. "A 49,
hours Of labor a week law for women
Will be placed before the Oregon
state legislature when it meets the
second Monday in January, by the
Consumers league of Portland.
This act provides that women may
not work for wages more than 4S
hours week It does NOT, however,
limit their labor to eight hours a
cay The idea is that women may
work more than eight hours Of five
days a week. so they may have half
holiday on Saturday.
The law is modelled generally after
the California law. Father OIlara a
prominent member Of the Consumers
league, says a bill similar TO this viii
probably be submitted to all the state
legislatures assembling this year.
Another bill to be presented to the
Oregon legislature provides that own

to halt the practice Of storing perish-

FAR-REACHlNG DECISION
IN REGARD TO ALlMONY

A question involving alimony has
been passed upon by the supreme
court Of appeals in the case from
Roanc county OF Smith against Smith,
in which writ Of error was dis
missed. IN connection with this cause
the court, in an opinion written by
Judge George Poffenbarger decides
that though a decree for alimony con
stitutes a lien on the real estate of
the party against whom it is pro-
nounced and may be enforced by exc.
cution, it is decree not merely for
the payment Of money. but for the
payment of money in discharge Of
the high martial duty of maintenance,
wherefore it may be enforced by at
tachment for contempt also
The court further decided that
writ OF error does not lie to a judg
ment Of contempt for disobedience of
a decree requiring payment Of ali

a CROSS OF GLORY
FOR COOKS AND MAIDS
(By United Press.l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--Delia has
come into her own-and Mirandy and
Sarah. For loyalty 'below-stairs" is
to be recognized, and cook" is to be
rewarded.
A movement is under way here
TO award medals or testimonials OF
faithful service to all domestic ser
wants of proven worth. The move
pient is sponsored by Washington
club women, as step in solving the
servant problem, and combating the
extremely "ephemeral, and mercurial
characteristics of domestic help"
The badge. or cross of honor will
rot be valued by cook" for its in
tyinsic value, but will be treasured
as a mighty good Reconnaissance a
sort Of carte-blanche, as it were.
Faithful servants will thereby not suf-
fer under the stigma OF their shift
less co-workers, and will never want
for good place" The longsuHer-
ing mistress will, it is hoped, awake
to new emancipation under the new
regime.

Just remember, the New Mitchell gives a

We would have said so too, only eight short

is something NEW in motor cars. 1t gives a
value and performance which just DIDN'T
EXIST before last June, when the first New
Mitchell came through. We don't blame you
for not believing it-all the past years of COM

let us SHOW you. Let us take you up this hill
in New Mitchell and SHOW you.
Power Isn't Everything
Other riding qualities are just as important
as power The New Mitchell rides restfuly
There is a buoyant ease about it which is dis

extreme but TRY it, and if you DON'T feel
