: Iowa City. Nov, e5--Bscause cooue
attacks did not cease with the signing
OF the armistice, the work Of the Iowa

continue with growing force until the

This is the declaration Of Mrs, Char
lotte whitney Eastman. secretary OF
the Iowa association.
On Sunday. Dec. 1. 10000 anti
vermin garments will be treated at
the laboratories Of the University OF
Iowa and will be shipped immediately
to the Sandstone Division in Fran'S
All towns in the state which have sup
plies OF finished garments on hand are
expected to have them at the univer-
sity to be dipped at that time.
EVERY haystack and house In the
war zone Is infested with coolies, Mrs,
Eastman declares she has heard au-
thoritatively, so that now the cootie
garments which were designed purely
for trench wear are needed constantly,
especially as sleeping garments.
The Thirty fourth or SANDSTONE
division asked the Iowa women to pro-
vide them with anti-vermin garments
before they sailed. but only 1000 were
available at that time. Now since the
war department has promised the
Iowa association immediate shipment
Of all garments. the Thirty-fourth will
soon possess suit for each Of it's

of the army will see to the re-treating
of the garments when the chemicals

Des Moines, Nov. 26--lt probably
will require special legislation on the
part Of the next general assembly to
untangle legal predicaments at Water
loo which have come about thru the
Establishment and operation OF u
municipal court and the annulling OF
the old Justice Of peace courts which
the Iowa supreme court now says was
all premature and therefore illegal
and void. Yt
The municipal court has been in
operation in Waterloo since May l. 1t
has passed on many cases and had ia
do with important litigation. Now
comes the Iowa supreme court in an
opinion brought to test the legality OF
the appointment by Governor Harding
Of a Judge Of this court in which II
says that under the law authorizing
the establishment Of such courts the
judge or judges must be elected at the
next city election and that the process
OF the creation OF a<municipal court Is
not completed simply when it Is voted
to establish it. The election Of judge
or judges must take place in order to
complete It.
without having gone into the mat
ter Attorney General Havner said to-
day in response to an inquiry that If
the supreme court has declared that
ne court was without standing in that
the full processes Of the law had not
been followed out in its establishment
1t would require some special legis-
lative enactments to legaize whatever
work has been done by the court.
Under the supreme court ruling IL
is expected that the justice Of peace
courts will be established to their
status before the municipal court was
opened.
After reviewing the evidence in the
case Justice Evans, who wrote the
opinion for the high court and which
is coneurred in by the other justices
says:
municipal court of Waterloo can not
be deemed to exist in complete sense
until the election of its officers at the
next regular municipal election and
that it was the legislative intent that
the election OF officers at such election
should be a part of the process of crea-
tion and should complete its creation
in q concrete bense.
While The functions of life are
saved in the old courts they are with
held from the new. When the old
courts cease, the new begins its func-
tionss Bnfilssuch time there can be nc

Ames, Nov. 25.--The Quarantine, was
partially lifted today in Ames city but
not in the Fourth ward, or college sec
ton, where the military authorities
fear influenza will be brought to the
school from the outside. The public
schools opened today, and the health
board decided to permit churches OF
the city to hold services Sunday and
Thanksgiving Day. Moving picture
theaters and other forms Of public
amusement will have to await further
Developments.

of the disease reported to the board
of health during the past three days,

the utmost precaution for members
did not wish to shoulder the respon
sibiity Of lifting the quarantine and
then be compelled to place the lid on

1t was pointed out that other cities

again. 1--WE don't want such thing

still dependent upon influenza condi-

This statement means that it is still
necessary to enforce quarantine regu-

I'VE are practically straight here
now" said Major Lincoln and there
is good reason to think that when the
Ames situation is all right, we will be
able to lift the quarantine out here.
| However, we are not governed by the
actions of the city of Ames. we are
governed by local conditions" -
THE question of going home is
settled largely by conditions out in the
state" said Dean Stanton. Shall we
transfer the terrible conditions which
exist in some towns->Sn Iowa. back to
the campus AGAIN."
IS. A. 7. C.Imen are planning on
receiving passes for Thanksgiving.
We have orders to issue these passes
if conditions warrant it" said Major
Lincoln
| II do not wish to make any promises
in which there is doubtful defini-
ton" said Dean Stanton, but We want
to get the campus out from quaran-
tine as soon as possible. Just as soon
| as Conditions warrant it, the quaran-
tine will be lifted. We are simply
awaiting conditions"
