ANCIENT LADIES ALSO H.:
HAD THEIR WAR PAINT
(By United Press)

London, Dec. 27.-Women who
danced for and with the Pharaohs put
on the war paint just as enthusiastic
cally as the lady Of today. -, a....-.
L A collection of the vanity-pots, of
an Egyptian lady Of quality, rescued
from the tomb which held here mum
niifed corps, has just been brought
to London. In it, wonderfully blown
glass took the place of the silver tot
let accessory of the present time. :.
Some of the glass pots are beauti-
fully Understandable to the inroads
made on the pots by the acid in the
stibium with which they were filled,
and with which the Egyptian beauty
painted her eye-lids and eyebrows.
The collection included henna pot
still containing traces of the dye with
which feminine Egypt Of the leriod
hennaed her finger nails---as Lon

Believed That Second Meeting
Would Bring Greater Cuts
in Naval Armament !
HUGHES FAVORS ANOTHER
IN SIX OR SEVEN YEARS
Limitation Of Land Armaments
Predicted as Big Question
for Next Farley
(By United PreSs)

Washington, Dec. 81, (By Carl d..
Groat) .---A second arms limitation
conference within the next decade,
to make greater cuts in naval arma-
ments than will probably be agreed
upon by the present conference, now
seems pro6able. AS a continuation, of
the present parley, the other meeting
has already been formally discussed
by delegates and several have given
it their general approval. 80 81
Limitation of land ornaments it
predicted as one of the questions to
be taken up before the next confer
ence. The battleship armament would
be cut further, and, should the pres
ent conference fail to agree on sub
marine and auxiliary craft tonnage,
this would also be brought up.
One group would have the second
parley IN ten years, while another
would have it in six or seven. Hughes
is reported as wanting it in six or sew
en- years so that any revision or re-
placement to the present program can
be undertaken in good season,
That discussion has actually &C.
CURED with reference to another con-
ference became known today when
the tivc-power disarmament commit
tee was dealing with the perplcxing
topic concerning submarine tonnage.
Postponement until tomorrow was
made upon Frances request. A meet
ing OF the cabinet is being held in
Paris today to consider the Hughes
submarine plan.
Out of this, it is expected, there
will come Instructions as to how to
proceed regarding the allotment Of
3 500 tons Of submarines as Frances
portion in underseas craft. 1t was
expected also that the Japanese del
egates would hear from their govern
mcnt regarding the allotment of 3D.
600 tons. Nothing so far shows any
yielding on the part of France and
Japan.
Secretary Hughes is reported as
holding fairly elastic viewpoint. 1t
has already been indicated that he
considers this topic relatively un-
important as compared to the capital
ship tonnage.

B. H. S. ALUMNI DEFEAT
HIGH SCHOOL REGULARS
Recent Graduates Take Present
Students Into Camp BY
Score Of Al to 10

That the Bemidji high school has
graduated a number of basketpan
players who can still play the game,
was clearly demonstrated when the
alumni team took the high school
squad into camp at the new armory
Monday night by a score OF Il TO "
The scoring ran in about 3-to-l ra.
ito for the bulk of the game, while
the last part Of the second half IN
creased the alumni lead. The first
half ended with the score 6 to IL IN
favor Of the graduates, most OF whom
are playing basketball this year on
college squads. .,s>,,,..;; /, ID. -
The alumni started the scoring
and at no time was their lead in
doubt. They played a fast, clean
game and displayed exceptional team
work, considering the fact that they
had never played together before.
Higbe and Tommy Simons led tie
scoring for the alumni, Higbe scor-
ing eight field baskets and three, free
throws, while Tommy Sinlons scored
seven field baskets. John Simons
scored two baskets from the floor,
Opsahl one and LORD one.
Neumann and Davis showed up the
best for the high school boys, each
scoring one field basket. Davis made
four out of six free throws. Smith
completed the scoring for that team
with one field basket I, >-~>,. -. XIX XII.
Considering that the high school
Equint is practically new organization
it played hard and tried to- keep the
alumni from running up top-heavy
score, However, five players were not
enough to keep the graduates from
scoring regularly. =.
Tommy Simons and Higbe, for
wards, John Simons, center, Kenfeld
and Opsahl, guards, started the game
for the alumni, while Neumann and
Davis, forwards, Henry, center,
Boyce and Smith, guards, started the
game for the high school. -
Substitutions included Robert Nay

PLAN ROTATING FUND /, J..
FOR NEEDY VETERANS
Those Who Do Not Need Bonus
Would Contribute to Fund
Ii to Be Loaned to Needy

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 27.-Plans
for big rotating fund to provide
loans to sick and wounded ex-service
men in each state are being worked
out at national headquarters of the
American Legion here
Ex-soldiers who do not need the
ready cash that would come to them
from the governments payment of
adjusted compensation would con-
tribute their bonus to the rotating
fund. Service officers of the Legion
in each state would loan the money
without security and at nominal rates
of interest to needy veterans.
The principal benefciaries of the
loan fund would be sour buddies who
are broken in health" that they may
take care of themselves and their
families and "keep their self-respect
while battling through red tape for
their Just disability compensation,
according to Hanford MacNider, the
Legion's commander, who originated
the plan.
There are hundreds of instances in
which sick and wounded eX-service
men, unable to get government aid,
have had to depend upon charity
while their claims were being review
ed, the Legion reports show. Tuber-
cular veterans who owe their condi-
ton to poison gas or to exposure have
gone to sanitariums in the west, there
been denied INN ediate treatment or
admission and have become public
charges, it is declared. Other young
veterans, unable to work because of
their wounds or sickness and unable
to satisfy the demands of government
bureaus for their compensation are
in a pitable condition and their de-
pendents likewise are suffering, the
Legion shows. ,
Many of the older element of ex-
service men already have made known
their intention Of assigning their bo-
muses. to the fund if the adjusted COM
pensation bill becomes law during the
present session of the congress.

HEALTH MEASURES NEEDED
IN RURAL COMMUNITIES

Country life does not necessarily
insure hygicnic living conditions. Sc
rious overcrowting, lack Of toilet ia
cilities, water supply exposed to pol
luton, absence of facilities for pre-
natal and infant care, and improper
feeding Of infants, are among condi-
tions described in a report entitled,
maternity and Child Care in Sc
lected Rural Areas of Mississippi,
just issued by the department of labor
through the children's bureau. Three
or more persons per sleeping room
were found in nearly half Of the white
families and more than. two-thirda
Of the negro families visited. Fifty
one per cent of the population ST.
cured water from dug wells open to

ALABAMA SOLONS FACE HUGE TASK
 BEFORE QUITTING
House Refusal to Accept Sen ate Amendment on Good Roads Bill Holding Up
 Adjournment
By FRED H. GoRMLEy Montgomery Bureau. Tho Age-Hernid 221-2 First National Bark Building

Montgomery. October 23.--(Special) As members of the legislature be- gan returning to the capital Sun day night for the fourth week oi the extra session of the Legislature the opinion was general that the work cannot be completed by Satur- day night unless there is a burst Of speed unprecedented in Legislative annals of Alabama.
 A huge task Is faced, and oue which probably could not be com pleted in the week. even if there were not to be an interruption of legislation for one day, Wednesday when the entire membershjp of the legislature and all officers and em- ployes will go to Birmingham off cially to greet President Harding, who will be the guest of the state on that day.
 The bill which brought the leg islature into extra session. and which proposes the resubmission of con stitutional amendment for a s25, ,000.- 900 bond issue. Is not law and cannot be until the house accepts a senate amendment which reduces the amount that must be spent in each county from s300.000 to $250,000, or until the senate recedes from it's amendment. This question will come up Tuesday for final disposition. 4 ma jority of 64 will be necessary.
 Advocates of good roads beltevs the house will concur in the amend ment after It understands that a county cannot be guaranteed more than quarter of a million dollars because of the provision of the fed eral appropriation bill which requires all states to use e-sevenths of the total amount expended on roads in the construction of interstate highways which will connect all the states This is the only reason the senate is insisting on q guarantee of only a quarter of million dollars.
 Some of the most active advocates of the bond issue in tite senate wouli like to give the counties s300,000 each because they reside in the snlat counties, which would reap tnc greatest benefit. but they are argl- ing that this cannot be done, and at the same time retain the assurance tisat the federal approprition VIII De available.
 Of course, many members of the two houses would like 10 adJourI the extra session as soon as the bond issue amendment Is finally submitted. (Continued On Page Two)
