BAD CHECK LAW
WORTHLESS CHECK NEASIRE
APPROVED BY MERCHANTS

Merchants of the state generally
approve the bad check law recently
passed by the South Dakota legisla-
ture.
The law makes il a misdemeanor
for anyone to give as legal tender a
check on a bank in which the person
drawing the check has no funds. Ii
Is punishable BY a fine or Jail sen
tence or both.
Merchants believe the law will put
a damper on the operations of per
sons who have been ruthlessly de
frauding them with worthless
checks.
Within the past year or two many
people have made a business of go
ing through the state cashing worth
less checks in small amounts. rang
ing from perhaps So TO $40. or more
On account of the smallness of the
amount merchants have frequently
pocketed their loss and made no at
tempt TO prosecute the offenders.
The new law will have a tendency
TO eliminate the bad check and also
furnish a means of directly prose
cutting the offenders.

THROUGH SLEEPER
 SERVICE TO PHOENIX
 HELD NOT FEASABLE
H. C. Hallmark of Southern Pacific Expresses Skeptic- ism About It's Being Paying Proposition.

Bisbee and Douglas hope for a through sleeper service to Phoenix is likely a val hope, according to H, C. Hallmark, assistant general freight and passenger agent for the Southern Pacific, Tucson. Arizona. Hallmork was in Bisbee yesterday with the Fl Paso boosters.
 He expressed regret over rumors that merchants in the southeastern part of Arizona were looking with fay or upon the Santa Fe. He said he had wrestled with the problem of putting on a sleeper between this section and Phoenix for a long time and found it not feasible from a financial stand point. By stopping the car at Tucson he said, the passengers travelling to Nogales as we'll as, those travelling east on the Southern Pacific were benefited in being able to sleep on through the night undisturbed, where as they would have to pile out about 3 a. m., should the service be contin- ued to Douglas or Osborn.
 Even the present sleeper service al ways had been operated at loss un- til recently, he said. and he attributed the recently stimulated business to abnormal situations and abnormal prosperity. He said however, should such prosperous time scontinue. the people of southeast Arizona might get better service-he couldn't prom ise it. however, he said.

CHINA TO HONOR MEMORY
 OF JOHN HAY, AMERICAN.

WASHINGTON, March 22-Chine is preparing to honor the memory oi John Hay, founder of the policy oi the "Open Door" as no other foreign CT living or dead ever has been honored in China. Dr. V. K Wellington Koo Chinese minister here, was advised today by one of the leaders of the Chinese senate that a bill had been introduced in parliament and was vir' tually assured of passage for the erection of a monument to the former American secretary of state in the Central Park of Peking
 John Hay is regarded by the Chinese as one of the best friends that coun- try ever had. In the last years of the nineteenth century there was a scramble among the European pow CTS to secure concessions of territory, spores of influence and exclusive com mercial rights in China from the de- cadent Manchu dynasty. At the crf- tical moment Secretary Hay, by de- claring that the United States stood for the integrity and independence of China and for equal rights to all, put halt to the movement

BUREAU OF MINES 10 TRAIN WOMEN IN
 FIRST AID WORK
Wives and Daughters of Min CTS All Over Country To Be Given Opportunity to Learn Helpful Art.
(By Review .Ledsed Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The bu- reau of mines is preparing to do it's bit for national defense by opening to the wives and daughters of miners an opportunity to train themselves under expert instruction for first aid work.
 The bureau maintains eight first aid cars for emergency use in mine ac- cidents and for some time has offered a course of first aid training to miners. Under the decision to extend this privilege to the wives and daughters of the men, officials say that hundreds of thousands of women can secure free instruction at home. They be- lieye that such training would be a valuable asset not only in a national emergency but in ordinary times, be- cause it would greatly augment the facilities for caring for those injured in mine disasters
 To set an example, all of the women connected with the bureau here en- listed today and took their first lesson in the training course
 The bureaus eight cars are scatter ed through the mining districts and all of their time not occupied with re- lief work is devoted to training min CTS in first aid methods. About 5000 men have heen trained since the serv- ice was created.
 Under an arrangement with the American Red Cross. those who com plete the course hereafter will be giv- en certificates both by the bureau and by the Red Cross.
