Bar Italian Women
 From Public Life

ROME. March 20. - Italian women have been barred from 50 positions mostly in state employ by an official announcement just issued by the government. This order excludes women from appointment to the diplo. matic and consular service and from becoming members of the Council of State or of several courts.
 No reason is given for the declara- ton of this ban but Italian observers point out that evidently the author ities believe it none too soon to raise a barrier against the possible aspira. tion of Italian women for public of- flee.
 Professor Teresa Labriola. daught. CT of the distinguished professor of Sociology, has lately obtained the right to practice law before the courts and. after a struggle of more than seven years. pr. Adelina Pertici, has obtained permission to perform the functions of a notary. Those innova- tions have alarmed Italians who hold views on the appear ance of women in public life and to this is attributed in part the new bar against women set up by the go, eInment.

STOCKHOLM, March 20. - Swe. den's recent decision to join the League of Nations, was not reach,u without opposition in parliament Conservatives fought the proposal join on the ground that it would mean surrender of the country's independ- ence.

 The army and navy chiefs asserted that adherence to the league would not contribute to the eountrys mill. tary or political safety: but that it would impose responsibilities and burdens for which the guaranteed support of the league would not compensate.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Sharp ad vances in several of the motor shares 1 and related specialties monopolized the attention ot traders during today brief but very active stock market ses- sion. General Motors was the spectac. of 461a points at 39S on an enormous turnover and closing at 3SO, despite ex- tensive realizing for profits.
 Stutz Motor was next in favor at a net gain of 16 points to 220, a new high record and an advance f.77 points for the week. Stromberg carburetor. con- trolled by Stutz interests, helu the greater part of it's six point rise.
 The balance of the list was irregular or retactionary most of the time, but improved toward the close when steels equipments and oils were in demand with coppers and shippings
 Sales amounted to 675,O0O shares.
 Buying of metals resulted from re- ports that steps were under way for organization of a finance corporation to provide funds for huge exports of copper and other base metals.
 A moderate reversal in foreign ex- change seemed to exert little influence upon the stock market. The clearing house statements disclosed a deficit oS actual reserves. which was ascribed to heavy transfers of cash in connection with the weeks tax payment.
 Liberty bonds remained unsteady, but the general bond market was firm on fairly wide variety of dealings. Total sales, par value, $7,775,0OO.
 Old United States governments bonds were unchanged on call during the week except the 2's coupon registered, which advanced a half per cent.

TROTZSKY USES CHINESE REDS
 IN EXECUTIONS
Executions Regular Job of Orientals in Ranks of
 Bolsheviki

AMSTERDAM. March 20. - The corresoondent of tho Handelsblad who recently returned from . trin in Soviet Russia gives the following account of his Investigations Of the activities of the Chinese employed there by the Bolsheviki as execu- tioners.
 "Snoh horrible stories were hain 2 told in Europe about these Chinese that I thought it worth my while to learn more about them. AS a joke. l asked every one who asked my op- inion of tho Bnlshevil1i to show m~ some real man-killinr Chinese hu, I was always told that they couldn't produce any just now because they had all gone to the Denikine front.
 q was told the Chinese. if com handed by their own officers were excellent soldiers. but they ran like hares if their officers were killed Executions are now very rare in Moscow, but, in August. when thou. sands of 'counter-reyolutionar were slaughtered. it was carried ou, by the Chinese because the author ities feared the Russian soldiers would refuse To do the work
 The Chinese do this work ipdiffer- eilNIS, dS lDty uO all other WOTk they are ordered to perform. They arel blind. conscienceless tools in the hands of the men who feed them and pay them and who raised them from the position of coolies, in which they came to Russia to the rank of sol dier. of the guards.
 If the 'Boltsjak.' his name for Bolshevik orders something. the Chinese does it. and he does it. in his typically practical way. He first makes the victim dig his own grave 1 and then shoots him with his revolv- CT. He is not cruel about it, just | practical.
 When the Boltsjak says kill. then he kills with an unperturbed face. 1 And when BOltsjak says you may stop now With the same cool face he lets his victim go."
 The correspondent after some | weeks in Russia left when he was re- fused permission to make investiga- tions freely as he pleased.

SAYS WOMAN is A cHATTEL
British Husband Bases Divorce Dam
age on Claim Woman Has No
Legal Status

London.-It is q basis Of q hus-
bands claim for divorce damages that
his wife is still in fact II not in law
a chattel Of his. This was the theme
Of an interesting argument before JUS
tice McCardie in the divorce court.
arising u of a case In which dam
ages were sought against the co
respondent by the husband. Counsel
for the petitioner said that up to the
matrimonial causes act Of 1858 a
woman was regarded as a chattel and
the jury had to award damages ac-
cording to her value to her husband.
His lordship then asked when had q
wife ceased to be regarded as a chat
tel. Counsel for the petitioner SAID
he had not suggested that this idea
had gone.
Judge-You say she is still to be
regarded as a chattel?
Counsel-Yes, with slight modifica-
tons. The question in assessing DAM
ages is what she is worth.
Judge-Then you call her quasi
chattel?
After some further discussion JUS
tice McCardie asked if as the result
of counseI's researches he could show
that a wife could bring action against
the seducer of her husband.
Counsel said there was no such case
and that there could not be such an
action because a woman had not the
same legal status or the same legal
rights as a man.

MUST MELT BELL IN TOWER
Only Way It Can Be Removed From
St. Louis City Hall ls In
Bucketfuls.

st. Louis.-The twO-tOn bell which
hangs in the tower of the city hall has
made the tower unsafe, but the bell
is SO large it would be dangerous to
try to take it down, so it is to be melt
ed right where it is with acetylene
blow torches, such as are commonly
seen in use by workmen, repairing car
tracks.
Building Commissioner McKelvey
pronounced the tower unsafe as long
as the bell remains, because the steel
supports have become corroded. More
over, he said, an attempt to lower the
bell would be very dangerous, there
fore the decision to take it down a
bucketful at q time.
The only time in recent years that
the bell has been rung was h day
of the armistice celebration. 1t was
rung when the building was construct
ed in 1904. The bell cost about 81
600. The expense Of removing 1T will
be about $500. 1t is six feet high
and four feet in diameter at the base.

JAPAN HOLDS ON TO COTTON
Government Decides to Prohibit Send
ing of Yarns and Tissues Out
of the Country.

Tokyo.-The japanese government
has decided to prohibit the expectation
of cotton yarns and cotton tissues in
order to check he advance of prices.
Owing to the shortage Of supply
against the ev~er-increasing demand,
the price Of raw cotton has gone up
1877 per cent.
It is alleged hat this is in part due
also to speculative dealings of cotton
yarn brokers, who have taken advan-
tage of the buoyant market and the
fast falling supply to deal in futures.
The government has decided also to
exempt from customs duty cotton
yarn and cotton tissue imported from
abroad. Several large spinners IN
Osaka and elsewhere have ordered
cotton yarns from the United States
and China and many Japanese cotton
mills will augment their manufacture
ing capacity with spindles and other
machines imported from the United
States.

RUM LIES IN CORNERSTONE
Ohio Congregation Entombed Liquor
Considered Their "as Respect
able as Water"

Cincinnati, Jan. 15.-Long after the
last cellar has gone dry and the last
drop Of whisky consumed there will
remain a bottle Of liquor that, accord
ing to tradition, is entombed in the
corner stone Of the Universalist church
at Montgomery, Ohio. None other than
William Swain, aged seventy-two, vii
lage historian and former schoolmas-
ter of Montgomery. is authority for
the tradition that a quart Of liquor
is concealed in the foundation Of the
church, which was built in 1887.
'In those days liquor was as re-
spectacle as water" say Swain.
Preachers drank it just like other
folks did. It was customary to place
liquor in a cornerstone for the same
reason that folks drink each others
health in liquor"
Swain recalled that in the good
old days" whisky sold for three cen
a drink.
