To Be Married
Before 1000 People

Delta, Colo, Aug. 19.-The officials
of the Delta County Fair have an
nounced that couple has consented
to be married before the large Thurs
day crowd. which last year numbered
about 1000 For this they will be
given handsome prizes by various
stores of this city.
The officials are keeping the names
of the couple an absolute secret, as
they want the thrill to be at the max
imum height when the minister says
the word which will make them man

Urges Home Life
for German Women
By JOHN GRAuENZ.

Omitted Press STAFF Cores pondent)
Berlin. Aug. 19.-"Women ought to
be taken out of the labor market just
as much as possible"
This is the opinion OF Frau Won
0ierke of the German National party,
chosen after the last winters revolu-
ton. In an interview she declared
she believed women ought to take
more and more part in internal poi
tics, but decried any attempt to have
them in high government places. She
said that they ought to be in the
home rather than the factory or the
onice, and that where circumstances
positively will not permit them to
have home life, then they ought to be
trained for the professions.
Il don't believe women should be In
cabinet positions" she said. That
would only make the cabinet femi.
nine and weaker, and what is needed is
strong manly forcefulness in positions
such as the cabinet posts.
However. in internal politics, il is
different. There, woman acts as a
balancing spirit, and takes a fine.
wholesome interest in welfare work.
Women's inclinations in politics are
likely to be more positive than mems,
for women are generally either en-
tirely conservative or entirely radical.
las for voman's part in labor,
will say that believe womankind
should be brought back to Its natural
destiny Of motherhood and education
OF children. 1t is extremely unfor-
tunate that women have become more
and more the competitors OF men in
the labor market, for labor amongst
women is the enemy of family life. II
is impossible to be a workingwoman
and mother at the same time.
I'm my view. industrial conditions
ought TO be so readjusted that men
will have better opportunities for
marrying and for supporting families
Then it win be possible for more
women to enter their natural sphere
OF family life AS for women unable
to marry, more opportunities should
be opened for their education for pro
fessfonal lines"
Frau Won Gierke. as a Conservative
does not believe in "equalizing every
thing as she puts its. She believes
that the German educational system II
adequate. but holds that the ."KuItur'
mat comes Of family life and TRAINING
ought to be developed.

the river in accordance with standing
instructions from the War Depart
ment at Washington authorizing such
punitive expeditions when there is

Today's crossing of the border by
Col. LaDghorne's men is the ninth
time such action has been taken dur
ing the last two years. There is no
undue military activity at Fort Bliss
and no movement of soldiers into
Mexico on large scale is expected
The hunt for the bandits will be
through the bad lands below Big Bend
and will probably be over today or to
morrow.
The pursuing troops consist princi-
pally of mounted guard led by Capt.
Matiock, and are the same which es.
corted F. NJ. Fennell. Maria banker,
on his mission TO secure the release
of the imprisoned aviators by the pay

Capt. Matlock returned safely with
the aviators

of the request, made by the county at
torneY or the county superintendent,
the matter will be submitted to the at
tOrney general for his opinion, which
will be furnished Immediately. In no
case should teachers or school officers
write to this department on propositions
of law without first consulting the coun-
ty superintendent and the county at
torney. Letters asking for a construc-
ton of the school law must be written
to this department and not to the at
torney general"
