There were eight proposed &C -
tional amendments pending in III II
eral Assembly on Monday mo- z,
and from all appearances they WI he
still pending at the end OF the Week.
II is natural that the house holdoack
on senate measures, and for the SEN
ate to delay house measures Which F.
have been passed on to it, to try and |
force the other to act first. The hn-
ate sent a land tax amendment to TIE
house last week, and the house read
it twice the first day and referred It
to a committee that will not organize
until this week. The house then made
up for the time the senate was taking
a Saturday off, by sending several of
its measures to the senate, where they
will be just as accommodatingly re-
ferred to a committee.
And while all of this is going on the
trainers of constitutional amendments
which are to be initiated by the people,
have been exceedingly busy, and it
would not be at all surprising to see
filed with the secretary of state the
required number of signatures to place
the measures for increasing the pow
ers of the people under the Initiative
and Referendum, for the issuance of
bonds for municipal purposes, and the
one increasing the number of mem
bers of the Supreme Court, on the tick
ct at the next general election. If
this is done, it will shut out all of the
amendments proposed by the legisla-
ture, and the Legislators will then be
forced to pass the bill for consti-
tutional convention to get their meas
ures passed upon.
The constitutional convention bill is
fathered by Senator Walker Smith.
The most attractive feature about the
bill is that it allows the members only
$500 per day for their services. The
question of per diem will not influ.
ence the sort of men necessary as a
member of constitutional convention,
to make it a success. To make at
tendance at the convention compensa-
tion to him, the per diem would have
to be we'll up in the figures. The man
who looks to such a convention for
compensation, will hardly be attract.

be if the figure was boosted to $500
or $1,000 per day.

In their inaugural addresses two
governors made the same request for
the women of their respective states
Pennsylvania governor said; "Wo-
man suffrage should not be political
issue. Two years ago | asked you to
submit the question of an amendment
to the constitution permitting women
to vote. You did so. The amendment
was defeated Since then a great ma
tional election has been held and wo-
men have more largely than ever ex-
ercised the franchise. They should be
allowed another opportunity to lay
their claims freely and fully before
the people and | request that your

that ''the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment for equal suffrage

Kansas parents have conceived the
idea of building homes for teachers as
adjuncts of public buildings. These
dwellings are small but very comfort
able and are surrounded by five acres
Of land upon which the teacher can
grow vegetables and other necessary
crops. These teacherages will no
doubt attract the finest and best of
instructors and Kansas will have the
cream of the teaching force from
which to select those who are to edu-
cate her citizens.

Editor Star-Mirror. Dear Sir: 1t
is hard for an average guy to follow
the reasoning of the man who won't
Hooverise because the boys at the
front smoke. One might understand
if the tobacco were made in France or
England, or could be used for bread.
But no amount of abstaining from to-
bacco would supply Frances need of
sugar or flour.
Talking of tobacco as a poison and
stimulant is all right-so it is: So
is tea and coffee, and beefsteak. AS a
matter of fact you can't diet a man
without a stimulant Sugar is an
alcohol! Anyway let our friend get
into trench with a few score rotting
Germans lying around and no sanitary
conveniences and such hell of a
noise that it sends men literally in
sane in thousands of cases, and then
listen to his anti-everything argu-
ments. No sir If you are in hell you
must have smoke-and that's just what
the trenches are. Yours,

WASHINGTON-Gar sanitation
is the cleaning up of all vegetable
rubbish from the garden and destroy
ing the portions which have been dis
eased even though crops were pro-
duced
1t seems like great waste of vege-
table matter to burn the dead tomato
vines, bean vines and other plant tops
which have been diseased, but this
should be done because to save or
compost these for fertilizer would
simply be maturing and saving mil
lions of disease spores which would
attack the crops next year. More than
this, clean garden appeals to the eye
and to the pride of the owner as a
winter landscape.
Corn stalks, cabbage leaves and
stumps, beet tops, if not canned and
other healthy plants should be saved
for ,mulching or be added to the COM
post heap.
In planning for the early garden,
the earliest planted crops like peas,
turnips, spinach and potatoes should
be placed together at one side and
the ground for them plowed or spaded
in the fall. The object of this is
to have this ground in planting con-
dition early in the spring. If plowed
in the fall it will dry out and be in
shape for planting much sooner than
the unplowed portion could be worked.
This plowed part can be fitted with

WASHINGTON-Clean up the gar
den, and SOW rye.
Now that the garden crops are all
gathered with the exception of a few
late plants that are not blighted by
light freezing, it is time to plan for
the 1918 war garden by sowing rye
for a cover crop.
First gather up and remove all
vines, dead plants, corn stalks and all
other vegetable trash. If any of the
plants were killed by disease, such as
the blight of tomato, blight of melon,
cucumber or other vine, rust of as
paragus, these plants should be burn
ed to kill the spores of these various
diseases
1t is not a good plan to leave the
ground barren over winter. Soluble
plant food will be leached away and
the richest surface soil may be wash
ed off by the rains. The garden should
never be idle. While it is resting up
between crop gathering time this fall
and seed planting time next spring,
it should be growing a crop to cover
the ground this winter and then to be
plowed under next spring.
The best crop for this purpose is
rye. The seed should be sown at
once at the rate of one pound to a
strip of ground so feet long and 10
feet wide. If the ground is rough or
hard it ought to be cultivated just
before the seed is sown, and then be
cultivated again to cover over the seed.
Sow the seed between the rows of
crops not yet gathered. Rye is hardy
and stands rough treatment and will
sprout even if there is frost nearly ev-
cry night.
Besides protecting the ground during
the winter, the rye develops into a
crop of green manure, to be plowed
under in the spring. At cost Of
about five cents for a pound of rye
seed, a garden 10 by SO feet can be
treated to an application of green ma
nure. The green rye plants soon decay
when plowed under and answer the
same purpose as a light dressing of
manure.

GRAVEYARD FOR AUTOS
STOLEN CARS DUMPED INTO
LAKE IN INDIANA.
Chicago Prosecutor Declares He "Has
the Goods" on Sixty Thieves in
Four States.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Down at the bot
tom of a lake, just across the Indiana
boundary line, today rest scores of
wrecked automobiles, S 'eshed, rusting
and falling to pieces, abandoned
cars of timorous automoi lie thieves.
The graveyard of missing motors
was revealed as Prosecutor Hoyne an
nounced that he had the goods on
so thieves in four states and two SER
geants of the Chicago detective bu-
reau as members of the 81 100000 auto
thief trust.
The discovery OF the watery bury
ing ground for machines came with
the statement of an attorney who has
represented various members of the
thleving gang in court.
IF that lake was dragged it would
turn up close to 800 machines and no
end of scandal in some Chicago fam
ilies," said this attorney. Most OF
the cars were sent there by members
of the thieves organization. 1t was
thus they would dispose of dangerous
cars-cars too definitely marked to
be easily disguised and which, there
for, We're a menace.
"Overhanging this lake is cliff.
To this cliff the condemned cars were
driven. The wheel was dashed and
the motor started. The driver leaped
from his seat and the riderless car
sped to its end.
"This lake is known to all the
thieves. 1t became so notorious that
it finally reached the ears of the ever
growing number of men who see a
chance to collect insurance on miss
ing cars. Numbers of them have sent
their cars to the bottom of this lake
and have collected the insurance"

Washington, Jan. 31.-A warning to
Americans not TO take passage on
ships armed by the enemies of the cen
trail powers is expected here soon
Whether the warning will be conveyed
to the state department through the
American embassy in Berlin or through

For several weeks the German gov
eminent has been submitting represen-

cases wherein it is asserted merchant
ships, armed ostensibly for defensive
purposes, have attacked German sub
marines.
Reports that Great Britain and her
allies were considering placing still
heavier armament upon their merchant
ships have been regarded in German
quarters as fOrecasting fights 10 fin

NAVAL BOARD BACKS GRAYS0N
Nominee for Rear Admiral Admits He
Withdrew" From Examinations
as Too Hard.

Washington, Jan. 31.-In spite of the
predicted fight the nomination of DR..
Cary T. Grayson as a rear admiral was
voted upon favorably by the senate
committee on naval affairs. OF the ten
Democrats on the committee all voted
for the nomination save two, who We're
absent. The only Republicans of the
seven members of that party present
were Senators Lodge and PoindeXter
Both opposed the nomination.
Doctor Grayson himself appeared be-
fore the committee and was asked
many questions by Senator Poindex-
ter.
1t developed that Doctor Grayson
once withdrew" from an examination
for acting assistant surgeon. He said
he presented himself, but the examina-
ton was more than he anticipated, and
so he Withdrew" He applied then for
examination as hospital steward, but
this examination, too, seemed little
hard, especially the chemistry" So he
withdrew from that one, too. Later
on he was commissioned acting assist
ant surgeon in July, 1903.
Senator Poindexter said he opposed
having an officer jumped over the heads
of 40 others. The senator said the
confirmation of the nomination would
be fought in the executive sessions of
the senate.
