 One hundred and fifty-six of us were placed under arrest in July, 1914" he said. There was no proof that was in sympathy with the Jugo- Slav propaganda, but the authorities suspected what was in my heart. Six teen of the men arrested at that time were condemned to death. The death penalties were not executed, because of the remonstrance by the King of Spain, but the prison sentences were all made effective
 T went to prison on July 26, 1914. My cell was a small one---a mere cage, and I was kept at hard labor. In October of 1918, the people of Bos- nia-Herzegovina, as in other Jugo- Slav provinces of the Austrian Elm pire, anticipated the debacle of the empire, and organized a National Council for the conduct of affairs.
 "As soon as the Austrian army fled this council came into full executive power and the men wrongly impris- oned were liberated. I was released rom prison on Nov. l, 1918, and al- most imm mediately was chosen by the National Council as president of the government of Bosnia-Herzegovina

SCARF SWEATERS,

Almost any one can knit a scarf from the tin;est youngster to grand ma herself. Many people consider the scarf a necessity with the sports suit, but few have ever considered the possibility of using one as a sweater. Yet it can be done with very little trouble.
 To begin with, knit your scarf at least ten inches wide. You might feature stripes of certain width to Insure smartness. Then one has noth- ing to do but knit in the plain ordi- nary stitch for about three yards or more, according to your size. Sup pose you have done so, now for the sweater.
 Find the middle of your scarf and bind it girdle-wise about your waist. At the back cross it and bring an end across each shoulder. With a huge crocheted button, the two inner ends may be fastened together. A tassle CT ball of wool may be used to weigh down the other ends.
 Any number of color schemes are possible. Old blue, with black and white stripes. would be very effective. A white scarf, in which Roman stripes run riot, would be a happy accessory to ones wardrobe. A love ly combination can be obtained in pastel shades. Make the scarf proper of buff and use stripes of turquoise, rose and pale green.

What cannot the United States do
when she tries? Before the war Ger
many practically controlled the texS
tile industry of the world, supplying
four-fifths of the dyes used. The
United States paid Germany every
year $25,O00,0O0 for the dyes she
imported. When this trade was cut
off the American textile manufacture
ers were in great perplexity. Expert
mentation began at once, but for a
long time above counters of dress
goods and in every department Of
the great stores were displayed the
signs: colors guaranteed fast"
Now these signs have disappeared.
Good Americanmade dyes in fast
colors and all beautiful shades have
been produced, and we shall never
again need to depend upon Germany
for our dyes,

WOMEN IN ELECTIVE OFFICES.
First Woman Elected to Office in
Iowa in 1869.

The first woman to serve in an
elective office in Iowa was Miss Julia
G. Addington who was elected county
superintendent Of Mitchell county
IN 1869, according to the author of a
volume on the Legal and Political
Status Of Women in Iowa" which has
recently been published by the State
Historical Society of Iowa. A ques-
ton as to the eligibility of wonmen
immediately arose, but Attorney
General Henry O'Connor decided that
the law provided for this office did
not specifically exclude women, and
lie therefore ruled that Miss Adding
ION might serve. This decision was
questioned in 1875: but before the
Supreme Court had decided the case,
the General Assembly, in March
1876, passed law opening al!
educational offices TO women.
Four years later women were made
eligible to the office of county Ne
corder. The only elective offices in
Iowa to, wlRch women may not be
admitted by similar legislative acts
arezthose of State Senator and rep
resentative: the Constitution pro-
vides that only male citizens may
bold these offices. Women are eN
Guided from other State offices b.
the general rule of judicial inter
probation that only voters may hole
! flee unless the contrary is definite
| ly provided by law.

COMMON CAUSE
COMING TO LYRIC
First IL & After the War Screen Pro-
ductiOn to be Seen i'm Decorah
Beginning Next Sunday,
March 16
ONE OF THE BEST PHOTO
PLAYS EVER MADE
Shows How the American Marines
Turned the Tide of the War at
the Battle of Chateau
Thierry

''The Common Cause" the first
big ''after-the-war" screen product
ion to be exhibited after the signing
of the armistice that made the world
safe for Democracy" is to be
shown here, at the Lyric Theatre,
for two days, beginning on Sunday,
March 16.
Manager Ellen B. Larsen, of the
Lyric, says that this screen sensation
which is the latest triumph of J.
Stauart Blackton to be brought be-
fore the public by the Vitagrap1
Company, is, in her opinion, one Of
the most artistic and appealing
photoplay dramas that has ever been
booked for Decorah. Herbert Rawlin-
son and Sylvia Dreamer, two ex-
tremely popular young stars, are
featured at the head of cast which
includes Huntly Gordon, Lawrence
Grossmith, the famous musical
comedy star; Charles and Violet
Blackton, children of the producer;
Philip Van Lorn, Louis Dean and
Mile. Marcel, well-known French
actress.
The drama has a prologue and
epilogue, in which appear five famous
women of the stage-Effie Shannon,
Julia Arthur, Irene Castle, Marjorie
Rambeau and Violet Heming. They
represent, respectively, Belgium,
Italy, France, Columbia and Britain
mia.
One manager. discussing the
Common Cause" as a production
and an entertainment, says:
"This is one of the best-made
photoplays l have ever seen and it
certainly has everything about it to
make it the greatest screen enter
tainment that has come out in many
months. 1t covers the war from tho
time Belgium was ravaged until the
present time, with the American and
Allied arms victorious; and yet it is
not what would call war picture.
1t tells the story of Allied aims, the
reasons for the entrance into the
struggle of Britain, France, Italy,
America, etc., and shows how the
American marines turned the tide OF
the war at the memorable battle OF
Chateau-Thierry by turning the
Huns off the road to Paris. There is
splendid novelty in the form of an
animated diagram showing this
phase of the war.
"There is beautiful love story
running through the picture and
some splendid battle scenes showing
the tanks in action, the big guns and
the battleplanes, but there is total
absence of the horror that has
characterized the war itself and
many of the pictures depicting it.
Zone of the outstanding features
of "The Common Cause" Is the fine
comedy that is introduced. Law
renee Grossmith, the famous Eng
lish commedian, is the leading fun
maker, and he, with poilu and
French girl, produce some Of the
most legimate comedy the screen has
ever seen. The picture would be
worth seeing for the comedy alone.
Miss Larsen says she expects "The
Common Cause" to prove one of the
most satisfactory entertainments
ever given to the patrons of the
Lyric and intends to make It's
presentation one of the big events in
the history of the house.
