MRS. HASKELL
WORKING TO
HELP G.. A. R.
Declares She Went to Legis-
lative Session Session to
Help Improve Conditions

Olympia. Wash. Feb. Mrs.
Frances NJ. Haskell, "the lady from
Pierce county," the only woman
member Of the 1919 Washington leg
islature. came to the session. she said
recently, to try to help improve the
surroundings Of the members Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic who
must rely upon the state for their
living.
Help beforehand rather than
after" is the creed Mrs. Haskell de-
clared she follows in her work for the
veterans. Il hope to do things for
the G. A. r. homes n also help in
public welfare work"
Mrs. Haskell lives in Tacoma. In
politics she is Republican and ac-
cording to her friends and fellow
members of the lower house, her
brand of Republicanism is regular"
Speaker Fred A. Adams made Mrs.
Haskell chairman Of the house pub
lie morals committee and also APP
pointed her to the committees dele
gated to handle appropriations, edu-
cation, state soldiers and veterans
homes, state library, medicine, surg
cry. dentistry and hygiene.
Mrs. Haskell made friends on the
opening day of the session when she
introduced a resolution intended to
permit the men of the house to smoke
during the sittings. A Washington
rule makes it necessary for a resolu-
ton to be passed before the legislat-
ors can smoke while at work making
laws. None Of the men wanted to in
troduce the resolution because Mrs,
Haskell was present, so she intro
duced it herself.
In her G. A. R. work Mrs. Haskell
speaks with authority for she is a past
president of the Tacoma branch of
the ladies' department Of the veter-
ans organizations.
She has been active for some time
in politics in Washington. When
Charles F.. Hughes ran for the presi-
dency She organized women's clubs
for him throughout the state. AT
present she is president of the Pierce
County Womcn's Political club.

.FORTIFICATIONS
AROUND PARIS MAY
BE DEMOLISHED SOON

Paris, Ian. 1o.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press.)-The ques-
ton of the demolition of the ring of
antiquated Notifications which sur
rounds Paris will be brought up be-
fore the municipal council during the
course of the next few months. This
is not as a result of the armistice or
because of league of nations which
is expected to put IN end to wars for
ever or because of the fact that with
modern artillery the Notifications
would be useless. The matter has al
ready been brought up before the
council. 1t dates back from 1884.
The plan, however. would have to be
referred to parliament by the mu-
nicipal council after it's adoption.
Louis Dausset, an alderman of the
city of Paris, is sponsor for the pro-
5ect: He argues that the benefits to
be derived are a closer, easier contact
with the Paris suburbs. elimination

Paris through the various gates and

The Island Pharos

The chain Of islands which forms a
natural breakwater to the coast of
Dalmatia is broken into two groups

tie farther SOUTH. The southern
group lies south Of the harbor of
Spalatto. and includes Sofia. Brazza,
Lesina. Curzola. Meleda. the more dis
tant LISA, Bust. and Lagosta, and a
few small islands which belong to the
Republic Of RaEusa. The interest Of
these varies a good deal. Most of
them have historical memories. reach
ing from the dawn of history to times
which are within the memory of
many now and some Of them are re-
markable for their geological forma-
ton or luXuriant southern vegetation.
Iesina was once a Venetian arsenal
and station OF the fleet. The vegeta-
ton is s~ub-tropical. Rosemary fills
the air with its aromatic scent. clean
ders. lemons, lofty palms. carob and
bay trees are continually met with.
II was the island Pharos of the
Greeks. a colony from the Aegean

free republic. Coins which have

to be Pelasgic. From 221 b. c.. it be-

FURTHER CONCESSIONS
no AMERICAN TASTE.

The hotels and restaurants have
also made further concessions to
American taste, or lack OF it, by in
stalling jazz orchestras m banjo
bands. a big restaurant is advertis-
ing a series OF American balls.
These things are not being done to
attract Americans. because the num-
her OF u countrymen in London
now is too small to justify any such
effort. The explanation lies in the
simple fact that London p%urveyors Of
amusement have come to the conclu-
sion that the English people are IN
terested in America and all things
pertaining to America. That the Lon
don public Is pleased may be taken
as n more bit of evidence Of the
growing feeling of good will for US.
So far Is the visitor can see. Lon
don on the whole is very gay and
light-hearted. Great as was the feel
ing of relief in America when the war
ended. it was naturally far greater
here. where the people have had to
suffer more than most Americans
realize.
Prices are high in London; fully
as high as In New York for most
things. n higher for many. The
good old days OF buying articles Of
excellent value for very moderate hg-
ures are gone. perhaps forever. The
quality of English made clothing is as
genuine "a ever. but one can buy as
eheaply at home In America. The
newspapers print articles every day
Or two warning Of still higher prices.
