SCOTS TAKE TO JAZZ
Bagpipe Is Routed by American
 Music.
Lassies Also Develop Love of the Trot, One-Step and Other
 Yank Dances.

Evanston, Ill.-According to K. J. Hollinshead of this city, secretary in an American Y. M. c. A. naval hut somewhere in Scotland, the canny Highlander is succumbing to the lure of the navy's jazz bands and in many q wee hoose on the heather" the bag pipe stands in the corner unused.
 Along with the craze for jazz there has naturally developed love of the trot and one-step. When Jack comes ashore he wants to dance. But in Scot land he didn't find much satisfaction Hi watching the lassies doing horn pipe, nor did the bagpipe seem like music to his "jazzened" ears.
 At one port where our navy men came ashore in great numbers the boys couldn't find a dance hall of any sort, so they came to Mir. Hollinshead of the Y. M. c. A. and asked his help. After securing the town he found the only available room was the upstairs of secondhand shop. With the aid of working party from the ship he was able to have the junk removed after four hours labor and the place was converted into a very usable ball. room.
 MT. Hollinshead then introduced the boys to a number of the nice Scotch girls of the town, the ships jazz band played American "rags," and soon the lithesome lassies were swinging into step and the first of a series of many dances was inaugurated.

 They have won the right to be heard by saving the nation--and the nation recognizes it.
 The war has brought British women the vote and the right to sit in the house of commons-sacred to the stronger sex throughout the history of the British empire.
 It is probable women's right to sit in the house of lords will be establish ed shortly, as well as the admittance of women to the professions ca an equal footing with men.
 The question of 'equal pay for equal work" has been met in instances, but largely 1t remains to be fought out af- ter the industrial change-over. Il Want Age Limit Lowered.
 Only women over thirty may vote, but there is already demand that this
 age limit be reduced.

Two Ducks Killed by Tire Blowout.

Kato, N. Y. - Leigh Hampton donned his rubber boots and drove his automobile to Sweet creek to wash the machine. He had worked nearly ten minutes when two ducks swam down the creek and under the car. When Hampton was ready to depart he discovered the ducks picking at the rear tire. Before he could drive them away the tire blew up. Both ducks were killed.

first woman to take advantage or rnls newly won privilege was Mrs. Walker. Kerr of Kensington, who formerly liv- ed in New Zealand where she had the vote for 25 years.
 English papers predict that women will add dignity to the commons, dig nified as it Is, and prevent "anti" mem- bers from hiding behind pillars and doors when a count is demanded.
 Already number of women have an- nounced they will be candidates in the coming elections-many of them on blanks dealing with reconstruction tasks.
 Mrs. Dacre Fox, one of the leaders of the intern lem all" agitation, made the following statement in connection with her intention to oppose Sir George Cave, the home secretary:
 "I will oppose him because his de partment placed every obstacle in the way of the internment of all enemy aliens"
 Here are views expressed by promi- nent women of England upon the new order:
 Mrs. Pankhurst: "The decision of the house in granting women the right to sit as members was the logical out come of getting the vote, but l think the vote is much the more important thing. I shall vote to get the right type of men into parliament rather | than to get women into parliament. l am very anxious that the strength of the woman voters-6000, 0,000 strong shall be given to help combat the very real danger of international bolshe- vism.'
 "Sex Makes No Difference."
 Lady Frances Balfour: "The sooner the nation forgets the sex of Its enfran- chised citizens, or it's members in pub lie work, the better for all concerned. Sex must make no difference in the binding obligations of those who form that great assemblage, the faithful commons, in the mother of parlia- ments."
 I! Baroness Rhondda (who as a peer ess in her own right is expected to l claim, as test case, the right of w0m- l en to sit in the house of lords): 1T l think it is just as desirable that wom- en should be in the house of lords as ] 1t Is that they should sit in the con- mons. The way for women in the lords will be made easier by the admission l of women to the commons"

The bill. introduced in Congress last
month. forbids the sale of liquor to
minors while aboard excursion steamers
while the vessel Is within the admiralty
limits of the United States This bill
was introduced by Congressman Adolph
J. Sabbath, of Illinois.
Passage of the bill which was in
dorsed today by United States District
Attorney Francis Fisher Kane and
other Federal officials, according to
settlement workers. means the death
knell to 'mashers" and others frequent
ly termed as excursion lizards" who

Rural Telephone System Good Bait, for Buyers;

l. mittee here was certain 1t had

sive publicity and selling from George
Il. Lloyd. District Attorney of tumber-
land COUNTY. when that resourceful
county chairman came here to explain
methods TO forty-six other county chair-
men in the campaign.
Here's what Cumberland County used
as bait to boost the patriotic sales:
The rural telephone system and It's
cluster of eavesdroppers about the coun-
trysldc.
The will of II rich woman with an
army of prospective heirs.
The school bell of Il country town.
which brought throngs of men who
thought there Was fire.
A kick on the shin to start applause
and warm up" an apathetic audience.
Talk, mixed with more talk and added
to more talk.
Gettiny an audience by these methods
seems to have been AN easy task.
The wcll-known propensity of rural
telephone subscribers to horn in" on
tnt community llHt "ltn lie btli
for another house was the first lure used
in the campaign. Taking advantage
of il. Mr.. Lloyd called up friend and
talked to him by the hour about the
war-savings drive. He was always as
sured a large and interested audience
of both men and women.
one day rich client called and an
nounced her intention of starting a war
savings fund society In her family, She
came to the puzzled lawyers rescue by
informing him she meant her twenty
nieces and nephews.
"You have my WILL" she said. Just
drop them a line that you want them to
enroll and that I said So
The attorney did, writing at the bot
tom of each letter the significant line.
"a word to the wise should be suf-
ficient."
on another occasion when an unap-
preciative audience did not respond he
tipped off, a friend to start the ap-
plause Under the spell of the county
prosecutors eloquence, however, the
friend, like many friends, proved false
and went to sleep. In the arousing of
the audience which followed the friend
came first, receiving vigorous and we'll
placed kick on the shins The resultant
, howl was calculated to awaken every
sleeper in the audience.
Accompanied by friend, Lloyd
visited a rural town. The place looked
dead. Suddenly his friend noticed a
twinkle in the attorneys, eyes, and, fol-
