State Insurance Commissioner Wells
has received some odd information rel
ative to the occupations of those who
are writing fire insurance in Oregon.

writer was a soda fountain clerk, one

to the insurance commissioner to deter
mine whether or not the above are quail
fled to transact insurance business. The

On account of the failure of the Ore
Washington Railway & Navigation
company to report an accident at Hind
man. as is required by law to the public
service commission, that commission
took the matter up with the attorney
general relative to prosecution, and the
attorney general this morning referred
the matter to w. S. Leven, district at.
torney of Baker county, who is re.
quested to take up the matter under the
cIlmludl laws OI inc SIdIe.
Under the new law accidents have to
be reported to the commission by tele-
graph, telephone or in person as soon
as possible after they happen. 1t is a
misdemeanor if this is not done. The
rublic service commission asked the at
tcrney general to proceed to prosecute
under the law, but as there was no pro-
ceedure provided for his office to han
die the case it was referred to the dis
trict attorney of the county in which
inc accident happened.

hind the French front.
Women have tried since the begin
ming OF the war to enlist in the auto
mobile service. The Club Feminin
Automobile was the center of this
group, and 1t had secured the signa-
lures Of several hundred of the thou
sand women In Paris who hold licenses
TO drive motor cars. The passive re-
eIstance OF the different war bureaus
held them back until now.
The women are obliged TO enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
scrupulousIy, TO military rules and dis
cipiine. They win In the beginning
replace motor ambulance drivers In the
foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services Later
on they may replace men In other an
