 In nearly every case 1t is that com 2 bination of characteristics known as "domesticity." Men like women who know how to make things "homey ana comfortable for them. Men grow up having their mothers find their neck ties, tell them when to change their underwear. what socks to wear ana when to have their ears washed.

CAMPAICN FUR CITY
 MOTHER IN PHOENIX
 WILL BEGIN TO-DAY

The campaign for a City Mother to supervise the public dance halls will be launched today when Mrs. r. B. Stevens. one of the four minute speak CTS, makes an address before che mem bers of the Home Missionary society of the Methodist church.
 This will be the initial four minute talk of the campaign, which will be carried on until the matter is formally presented to the city commission for action. Mayor Plunkett, with whom Mrs. Stevens held a conference yester- day. is in sympathy with the move mont, it is said, and has promised his cooperation.
 The plans were definitely outlined at meeting of the w. C. T. U. yes terday, Mrs. Stevens, the president. acting as chairman. It was agreed that the dance hall would exist until the establishment of a recreational center in Phoenix and that in view of that fact the only course was to secure supervision of the amusement places It was decided to bring the matter to the attention of the public through four minute speakers, as suggested by Mrs Stevens several days ago, and the list of speakers was partially arranged, Mrs. Stevens lending her services.
 Educate the public to see condi- tions as they evist in Phoenix" will be the only instructions given the speak CTS, who, it is said, are familiar with the local situation. It is undeniable, they say, that certain girls are not ex- srcising any discretion in the manner in which they meet men. They pick up" with any stranger in the dance hall. which the women declare is the favorite rendezvous for girls and men who make a practice of having that sort of an alleged good time"
 On unfrequented roads one sees cars at a standstill, and others not so par ticular will spoon" in car on any public highway.
 "The time for reform has come" Il is claimed. and the club women have volunteered to join Mrs. Stevens 1T seeing that it is carried on.

The danger of the pink bollworm crossing from Old Mexico into the United States is alarming the com mercial interests and cotton growers in Texas. The infected part of Old Mexico is the rich Laguna district, q section of territory on the boundry line of the states Of Durango and Coahuila containing 1000 square miles of aera, entirely surrounded by mountain ranges and but 250 miles from the Texas border. This section of Mexico is one of the most fertile farming regions in the world, the chief crop being cot ton. Almost the only known way to l wipe out the pest is to stop planting cotton for several years.

HUGE SPIDER PREN.s ON BIRDS

1O0E 0TlGEn FnE 0 ON Dlnb0
 One of the latest additions to the New York ZOO is a huge spider, com ing from Eastern Bolivia, South Amer tca, which kills birdsl Its name is 'Avicularia." When stationary, with its eight legs covered like its body with bristles that irritate the human skin like a nettle, it occupies a cir cumferential area equal to that of the closed fist. Living in burrows or hollow trees during the day, he sallies forth by night to prey upon insects or young birds, taking the latter from their nests. He possesses hollow teeth, which distill a poison into a wound in a manner analogous Co that of snake-poison. This lethal fluid is SO active that 1t kills in an instant creatures of far greater size than it. self. Spiders, as rule, are beneficial, rather than the reverse, since they eat insects which would otherwise be destructive to crops and life. Several of the larger spiders are poisonous in their bite.-Carrington in Leslie's.

Ure DenOunces
Campaign Trick
Republican County Chairman
Condemns Effort to Raise
Religious Issue.

Wide and persistent circulation of
an anonymous circular, attempting to
raise a religious issue in the presi-
Dental campaign, has led w. G.
Ure, republican county chairman, to
issue a statement denouncing such
political tactics.
Efforts have been made to have it
appear that the circular was being
distributed in behalf of the republi-
can party, Mr.. Ure said.
An anonymous article sometimes
typewriter and sometimes clipped
from newspapers, apparently copned
from The National Catholic Regis
ter is being surreptitiously passed
from hand to hand in this campaign
and purporting to be circulated in
the interest of the republican party.
"In the first place thert is no such
publication. The article is cam
paign canard, sailing uader false col
ors and is evidently gotten out by
enemies of the republican party and
for the purpose Of damaging repub-
lican candidates.
"In the name of the republican
party, l wish to denounce such tao
tics. The republican party stands
for religious liberty and does not
stoop to such methods in any cam
paign."

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, d. G., Oct. 23.-Of-
fetal Washington is interested in re-
ports that former Secretary Of State
Robert Lansing may reveal an ''in-
side story" of the events of the peace
conference in a book of his personal
experiences. The book, it is under
stood, will be based on diary kept
by him at Paris.
Mr.. Lansing, who is now practic-
ing law in Washington, admits that
he intends to publish a book, but
says it is not yet ready for pablica-
ton and that he is not working on it
just at the present time. He is re-
luctant to discuss its exact nature
or whether it will disclose any Sc
crets of the peace table.
There has been, as yet, no book
written by one of the members OF
the American peace commission and
Mr.. Lansing's story is looked for
ward to with more than ordinary in
terest. The fact that Mr.. Lansing
took issue with the president in his
testimony before the senate commit
tee on foreign relations and his feel
ing toward the peace treaty as in
dicated in the testimony of William
Bullitt, makes it possible that the
former secretary OF states book may
cause a sensation.

Foreign Diplomats
Are Allowed to Bring
Liquor Into Country

Washington, Oct. 23.-The Gus
toms service receded from its posi-
ton with respect to the importa-
ton of liquor by the diplomatic rep
resentatives of foreign countries.
Officials of the service said that
not only could the diplomats them
selves bring liquor into the country,
but that liquor consigned to them
on shipment would have to be ad-
rhitted. Such consignments to diplo-
mats already in the country, how
ever, can be removed from the port
only by diplomat or member OF
his household, it was held.
Conflict in the laws renders the
customs service powerless to carry
out the provisions Of the prohibition
enforcement act as far as foreign rep
resentatives are concerned, officials
said. The enforcement act prohi-
bits the importation of liquor, it was
pointed out, but another law prohi-
bits the holding OF tie person or be-
longings of a representative of a
foreign country.

An Omaha airplane pilot and his
passenger narrowly escaped serious
injuries at 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon when the plane in which they
were riding fell to the ground near
the Ak-Sar-Ben field.
The pilot gave his name as w. R.
Jones. Minton Prall, COOS Lafayette
avenue, was the passenger,
The flyers were only scratched
and bruised, according to Mrs. A. H.
Ashmusen. They walked from the
scene of the accident to the street
car, she said.
According to the pilot, pulley
wire jammed. At 1900 feet above
ground the ship went into tail
spin. The aviator came out of the
mishap successfully, only to have the
jammed pulley wire cause the ma
chine to go into second spin.
Once again the pilot Strengthened
out his machine, this time at al alti..
tude of 200 feet.
The jammed pulley wire, how
ever, continued to make the machine
unmanageable and the, ship dafted
toward the earth in a nose dive.
The plane was badly damaged, but
not beyond repair, according to Mrs.
Ashmusen. Fiat
Minton Prall, the passenger, is a

If Cox should carry all the states
listed as doubtful he would have

As a matter of fact. he is not like

Harding's chances are reported bet
ter than ever in Maryland, Missouri,
Utah and West Virginia and good
in Colorado and Montana.
The division of strength between
the two parties is such that ordinar-
lily a democratic candidate. to be
successful, must carry either New
York, or large block of western
states. President Wilson demon
strated this in 1916 when he lost
New York, and his own state, New
Jersey, but carried all the northern
states of the far west save Oregon
and South Dakota.
This year, however, the Cox man
ayers have no hope of carrying
either New York, or more than three
or four OF the far weston states
landed by Wilson. That measures
