BILL FOR WOMEN FAILS
 IN UTAH STATE
Bill Providing for Minimum Wage for Women and for Minors Also Fail to Pass
 in Legislature.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 1S Women members of the Utah Leg islature had much success with meas ures they were to a measure, re- sponsible for, at the Thirteenth Bien. nial Legislature, recently adjourned Individually, however, their bills did not fare so we'll As members of committees on health and education the work of the women legislators at the most recent session may be considered successful.
 Four women occupied seats in the session just passed. Mrs. Hayward introduced number of bills in the Senate, but the measure upon which she worked consistently-p providing an eight-hour day for women-was killed during the session. She was successful in having passed and signed by the Governor, however, a bill placing the matter of the em ployment of children under the State Industrial Commission instead of the Juvenile Court. The resolution me morialiZing Congress to pass the Su san B. Anthony suffrage amendment to the National Constitution, which was passed, was offered by Mrs Hay , ward
 Mrs. Piercey's principal bill, pro viding for a minimum wage for wo men and minors, met defeat. A meas ure providing for hours of employ ment of women in certain classes of work, became a law however, and credit for this measure is due to Mrs Piercey. A similar measure intro duced in the Senate by Mrs. Hay ward, was lost because, it was said it was too general in it's terms. Mrs. D. w. Blakely, another mem Der of the lower house, was the au thor of several bills, two of the i'm portant ones being killed. A measure providing for support of widowed dependent mothers, of which she was the author, became law, however. Dr. Airey, who has served in for mer Legislatures, was prominent in Committee work, but bills of which she was the author did not fare we'll three more or less important meas ures of hers being killed, one through an "error," a clerk failing to include the enacting clause when expressing the bill, which had been passed. It provided for the establishment of a home for fallen women.

FLOATING MINES ARE
 PROVING DANGEROUS TO
 BOATS IN DARDANELLES

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 23.I- Floating mines in the Dardanelles and Sea of Marmora still constitute great danger to navigation. Several ships have been lost since the ar mistice through mine explosions. The armistice required Turkey to indicate all mines, but it has not been possible in all cases to give their exact position. Mine-sweepers have been at work for some time, but naval authorities say it will be many months before vessels can pro- ceed through the straits with safety.
 No navigation is permitted at night. On passenger vessels lifeboat drills are held regularly, just as in days when submarines menaced the seas.

annexed a sufficient number Of points
to take the game without playing any
further, their end of the scoreboard
showing twenty-three when the ff-

make but ten points during this
period and nine during the last half,
