Indians Like Spectacle5.

Members of the Ute tribe of Indians
in Utah have recently acquired the
habit of wearing spectacles, much TO
their own delight and to the profit OF
an optical salesman who was in their
vicinity. A chief started the style by
purchasing a pair of yellow-lens glasses
from the white man, and in a few days
so many Indians demanded similar
adOrnmcnts that the drummer SUI :
ply was exhausted and he had to send
for more, says Popular Mechanics mag
azine 1t is said that there are nearly
200 men, women and children in this
tribe who now possess speetaeles. Some
indicate their social position BY wear
ing three pairs at time. Glasses witt
heavy tortoise-shell rims have proved
popular. These Indians were on their
way to attend powwow in New Mex
leo, and it is thought that they want
ed their new adornment especially foI

CALIFORNIA PROVIDES

SAN BERNADINO, Cal, March 2.- Methods of protecting the cotton in- dustry Of California from insect pests
 Which might be introduced through smuggling cottonseed into the state in violation of the quarantine laws, in- spection of nursery stock and handling of nursery stock shipments by motor trucks were under discussion here to- day at a conference of horticultural commissioners of the counties south of Tehachapi.
 The almost universal use of the mo- tor truck in handling nursery ship ments in the southern part of the state had made it difficult for inspectors to locate every shipment in order to make an examination for injurious insects and plant diseases, according to George H Hecke. state commissioner of horticulture.

cultics In Safeguarding Them When
They Fall to Cooperate.
WASHINGTON. November s.-While
tho government Is doing all possible
to safeguard women who are taking
the places Of men withdrawn from
industry to serve In the war, 1t Is
imperative that the women themselves
should cooperate with the Depart
ment of Labor.
At recent conference of State off,
ciais charged with the enforcement
of State labor laws, which was held
In washington. it was brought out
that in many cases women choose
night work and prefer long hours
Both Of these tendencies are easily
explained. Night work enables women
who have household cares to look after
their homes. and they know that their
children are safe in bed while they are
working. Moreover. they have time
for necessary shopping and for recrea-
ton. Long hours mean moro pay and
women In industry have been always
paid less than men. 30 that 1t is neces-
sary to give added time and strength
in order to obtain equal pay.
