Last Thursdays Des Moines Regis
ter printed the pictures of five pretty
Iowa girls and one of them was
Miss Dagna Olson. daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. s. Olson, of the West
Side. The Register has been running
a b auty contest among Iowa college
girls. Miss Olson attends the Iowa
State Teachers College at Cedar
Falls, taking physical training
course. The Register had the follow
ing to say:
I'VE had just got through taking
off or hats to the girls from Ames
and Iowa who were winners in their
local contests for the Iowa college
beauty, when in strolled young
man from Iowa State Teachers Col-
lege with pictures of the pretty
schcol-marms-to-be exhibited. Will
they be school MAINS for long?
ONCE prophets say it isn't in the ma
ture of things We don't have biog-
raphical sketches for these young
women, but we do know that Dagna
Olson comes from DEBORAH, Anne
Crowley, from Winthrop, Carol
Stone from Cedar Falls, Mabel Hill
day from Webster City and Laura
Seyerson from Carpenter.
The young man who brought the
pictures in says they are, all regular
girls and that they're as strong on
Intelligence as on good looks"

Japanese-American Conference
Aims to Effect More Friendly

than anything else, and it will be
necessary for Japan to disabuse the
Americans of their unfounded
fears.
There Is no blinking the fact that
Tor many years America has been
casting a covetous eye toward China
and the Far East generally. From
Secretary Knox's Manchuria railway
naturalization question down to the
shantung question all such events
should be regarded as a manifesto
tion Of Americas efforts to impIant
her influence in the Far East.
Some Of the American papers go
so far as TO say that America will
not shirk war with Japan for the
purpose of establishing her infiu-
ence in the East. Al the same time
America has been sparing no efforts
2to curtall the interests of the Jap
anese in America.
Under such circumstances the
strengthe ming of her, defences in the
Pacific by America should be re-
garded as the precaution against
Japan"
In conclusion the Osaka Asahi
claimed that mo Japanese will be
rash enough to dream of war be-
tween Japan and America" How
ever. like the Osaka Mainichi. which
characterized the recent interna-
tional inso1ence of the Americans"
as "a world wide anathema," 1T in
sists upon diplomatic action on the
part Of the Japanese foreign Office.

Report.

Upon the action of the Senate
District Committee on the Mapes
bill abolishing the half-snd- half
principle of financing the District
depends the fate of the District ap-
propriation bill.
II the Senate District Committee
should report the Mapes bill and
permit a vote on 1t in the Senate.
there is a possibility that the dead
lock OF the conferees on the ap-
preparation measure may be broken
The House conferees insist that.
so long as the half-and-half prin-
ciple is the bone of contention in
the appropriation measure. the Sem
ate conferees are presumptuous in
expecting the House members to
take the initiative in calling fur
ther conferences when the Senate
has never taken a record vote on
the proposition.

Justice Bailey ,in Equity Court
yesterday ordered the District Mini
mum Wage Board, composed Of
Jesse c. Adkins. Ethel N. Smith and
Joseph A. Berberich, to show cause
why on May IS and 2s II should not
be restrained from prosecuting the
Children's Hospital for alleged vio-
lations OF the order OF the board re-
quiring the hospital to pay its
women employees a minimum wage
OF $3.50 a week until the court has
had time to pass upon the consti-
tutionality OF the minimum wage

The rule to show cause applies
also TO another petition for an in
junction against the board. involv-
ing the same question. filed by Mae
e. Ancrum, an elevator operator at
the Coneres Hall Hotel.
This order of the board becomes
effective on May 26, the petition
declares. The hospital claims that
II cannot pay q minimum wage of

The present scale OF wages. the
petition sets forth. is from S22.50 a
month and board to $35 and board.

earn as much as SIS and board.
The elevator operator seeks , an
injunction because. she claims, she
has been notified that her services
will be dispensed with on May 26.
She claims that the order of the
board interferes with her right to
contract with her employer and
makes her a ward OF the government
and in being q ward, she claims, her
