MAIL CLERKS ARE
ANGRY OVER ORDER

Cedar Rapids, March 22.-Railway
mail clerks who make this city theil
headquarters are up in arms over the
recent order of the postmaster gen
eral in changing the mail system SO
that it will be necessary for them to
live at Boone.
Local business men also are much
peeved because mail for Chicago and
eastern points which used to leave
here on the Northwestern at 1915
O'Clock now does not get out until 2:3O
the next morning, and because of con.
nections which this train must make
at Omaha with the Union Pacific, it is
frequently very late when it reaches
this point, thereby putting the mail
into Chicago too late to be delivered
the same day.
About twenty-one mail clerks are af
fected by the order and in the hope
that 1t may be rescinded none of them
will arrange to move to Boone until it
is definitely learned that the change is
to be permanent.

fifteen pound pail Of candy, one-half
box OF oleomargarine, some canned

CHANGES ARE MADE
IN FOOTBALL RULES

| New York. March 22-New regula
lions to curb the carrying of instruc'
| tons from the side lines and the
elimination of the field goal from a
multiple kick formation are the out
standing features of the new rules
adopted by the football rules com.
mittee for the 1917 season. The com.
mittee at it's annual session, instructed
the secretary to prepare corrections
and additions to the code to cover the
following changes.
Must Keep Silent.
A substitute player entering game
must not speak to any other player on
the field until after the ball has been
put into play. In case any change in
the positions of the player is neces-
sary. the incoming substitute must
give information through the referee.
In case the substitute takes the place
Of the player giving signals he may
give the signals for the next play, but
cannot speak to any player until after
the ball is put into play. The penalty
for violation of this rule is the loss
of fifteen yards.
Many Fail To Report
In order that the present rule may
not work a harship considerable lee
way has been given the referee in the
matter Of inflicting penalties for the
failure Of substitute to report to the
game officials before entering the play.
The new addition to the code makes 1t
discretionary with the referee whether
or not the penalty shall be imposed
when the incoming substitute fails to
report but does not interfere with the
play or speak to the players prior to
the ball being put into play.
No Multiple Kick Formations
1t was further ruled that goal from
the field could only be scored by
place kick or drop kick, and the fact
was emphasized that place kick was
made with the ball resting upon the
ground, which would appear to bar the
use of multiple kick formation as now
in vogue. as the ball is held suspend
ed few inches above the ground
when kicked.
The use of artificial tees for kick
off at the beginning of periods also
was barred.
Change in Forward Pass Penalties.
Other changes include the giving of
the ball to the offended side where
there is illegal interference with the
player receiving forward pass. at the
point where the foul is committed. In
case the foul is committed behind the
goal line, the ball goes to the offended
team on the one yard line A penalty
of five yards will be imposed in the
future for running into kicker and
fifteen Yards and disqualification for
the penalties to be imposed
from the point where the ball was put
into play.

RELAYS DRAW
FAST ENTRIES
DRAKE EVENTS EXPECTED TO
PULL STARS OF WESTERN
'S7OOHoS

! Des Moines, March 22-Four weeks
from Saturday the athletes OF the
middle west will contest in the Drake
relays for the sprinting and distance
running relay championships of the
west. With the meet Of the Big Nine
at Evanston. the indoor season will be
ended and the attention of all the
teams will be turned to the Drake
event, the first of the outdoor competi-
lions Of the year.
With better understanding OF the
teams which will compete, due to the
! indoor relay meet Of the University Of
Illinois, it is certain that the contests
Of the present year will be up to the
standards Of the last two or three
meets. Last year at this time the half
mile university event was doped to be
on open event with none of the teams
especially strong, but four teams fin
tshed in bunch, with the leaders max
ing the fastest time ever set In this
event. Other events were just as good
and the entire meet was of class the
west can be proud Of.
Just now, q month before the relay
the possibility seems to be that the
mile university, which is the conclud'
ing event Of the program, will be the
best, that is, II the schools with good
mile teams all concentrate on this
event. At least four good teams exist
in the west and probably five. Better
yet, all Of these teams have been seen
in action and all belong to schools who
will be at the relays in the hope OF
winning the highest honors, due as
much to former reverses as to present
ability. One of the good mile teams
can be placed in the field by the Uni
versity Of Chicago. Another is a pos
sibility from the University Of Michf
gan. Notre Dame beat the Michigan
team indoors and Chicago defeated
Michigan. The fourth from east Of
the Mississippi is Northwestern With
a mile team which filled the cup Of
the purple to overlooking by taking the
measure Of Chicago in a dual meet
last week. Then from the Missouri
valley Missouri has a quartet of double
furlong men who must be respected.
The strength of the other Missouri val
ley teams is not known.
The half mile is certain to be filed
by good teams, but whether 1t will be
the class Of year ago or not remains
to be seen. The two mile will have at
least one star team in the Notre Dame
squad which already has stepped the
distance close to even time. Chicago
is in the lead at present, according to
the dope for the four mile, with Michi. (,
gan and Ames, which finished next to
them in the Illinois meet, as near IA |
vorites.

IOWA WOMEN TO
VOTE ON SUFFRAGE
CONTINUED From Page ~

The referendum would in no name!
be binding upon the thirty-e1ghth as
sembly. It would not be In any sense
= legal election. It would constitute a
& straw vote. Nevertheless, it would be
the deciding factor in the action or the
th1rty-eighth assembly.
Two Battles For Women.
The importance Of the referendum
should not be overlooked. It means an
extra battle for the suffragists of the
state. They will have to 60 out and
battle with the anti-suffs in the refer
endum. It will be battle Of women
against women directly with the wo-
men deciding the outcome and not the
men. Senators predict a bitter contest.
II the suffragists win, it means the
thirty-eighth legislature Is morally
bound to pass their resolution and sub
NIT It to a vote of the people. 1t will
also give the suffragists the strongest
talking point Of their Iowa campaign
ing = that the women have publicly
declared they want the ballot.
II they lose, the legislature Is Just
morally bound to refuse to pass the
outrage resolution. From the time the
legislature orders the referendum. the
question that will decide the fate OF
suffrage for the present years at least
will not be whether they should be
given the right to vote but whether
they want the right.
1--WE are highly ,elated with the out.
come in the senate" declared Rose
Iawless Geyer, in charge Of the suf.
fraee lobby. 1--WE have complete
state organization and we are sure that
when the referendum vote is taken, we
will win out by big majority. We
know the majority of the women are
with us. We are prepared for the cam
paign."
Opponents of womans suffrage evi.
IDENTIFY believe the referendum will
show the opposite stand. Senator
Thompson, declared on the floor
Of the senate yesterday afternoon that
he believes two-thirds Of the women of
the state do not want the ballot and
that a referendum would show it.
Therefore, the ants have cast their
battle into the Crucible Of the refer
endum.
Arguments on the resolution were
not complex. Senator Parker fought
the Kimball amendment because he
thought it would rndanger the validity
Of the entire resolution. Senator Kim.
ball insisted upon the referendum be.
cause he declared that voting is duty
and that the duty Of going to the ballot
box should not be foisted upon the wo-
men unless the majority want 1t.
