Disarmament of Women

"Why should 1 be? There's no place
for a woman"
Speaking her mind on women mur-
derers, suffragists and other females OF
the species, she said:
''WOmen who murder get off too easy.
They're not judged according to the
same standards as men who murder, but
you don't hear the suffragists demand
ing equal rights for the men, do your
No. the suffragists want equal rights
for women with special privileges.
Men are not so bad. Women declare
them cruel and unjust, but they are
not. 1t should be remembered that men
who are bad had women for their
mothers"
But to disarm only the woraen-that
would be unjust It was suggested.
There should be compulsory dfsRfIa

COMPARATIVELY.
FOR PLANNING.

FOR PLANNING.
So far there has been no provision for
a levy for the city planning commission,
which under the planning law would be
included in the general fund levy. Mr..
Prvson said that the general fund levy,
as estimated today, while 1t does not
include a specific levy for city planning,
has been made high enough to produce
about $40. 900 over the estimated require
ments Of all departments drawing from
the fund.
The total estimated expenses OF de-
partments operating under the general
fund is $3,96s,00O. The levy Of 81 cents
would produce S3660,000 The fund will
receive approximately S350,000 from mis-
cellaneous sources making the total esti-
mated amount which would be available
in 1922, S4,021 900, or about $4,000 more
than is needed. If there is no special
city planning levy the financial needs of
the commission could be met with part of
this $4,000 the controller said.
An exact total Of the 1922 estimate of
the finance department was given by the
controller He said $272,S4S will be need
ed as against 1928, ,s91.90 in 1921. The re-
duction of $3.50, ,543.90 is chiefly due to
the fact that 1t will not be necessary to
retire temporary loans next year as it
was this.
BONDS TO BE
RETIRED.
The u cent increase In the city sinking

PEKING'S WALL OF DRAGONS
Mythical Creatures In TiIes That at
First Sight Appear surprls-
ingly Lifelike.

One of the unexpected treasures Of
Peking is the dragon screen. 1t Is
barely mentioned In some Of the guide
books and not mentioned at all In
others. 1t is hidden behind hillock
in the winter palace grounds. and nine
tenths Of the visitors to Peking walk
within a hundred yards OF it and
never dream of its existence.
1t is a wall perhaps 20 feet high
and a hundred long, faced completely
with tile cast to represent nine life
size dragons In bas relief, Of various
colors-yellow, purple, buff, maroon,
orange, dancing gayly above emerald
pillows, againsta pale blue sky.
Doubtless one should not speak OF
"llfe size" dragons, but these creatures
Of the screen are the allvest dragons
one may ever hope to see; they give
rise to the feeling that If a dragon
lived he would be exactly like one OF
them.
Most sculptured Chinese dragons
are llfeless, angulafS beasts but here
there is an almost un-Chinese vigor and
addacity in the spring and twist OF
the 1.-the bodies. They leap, whirl
lunge and writhe until the spectator
steps back, half afraid that they will

MORE MEN THAN JOBS.
Farm Bureau Has Long List of APP

There are more joI&-hunters regis
tered at the Farm Bureau office,
than there are farm jobs to give them
employment. The supply is any

of the demand. and if the rain and

the jobs viii be likely to remain
scarce until harvest time. If by

GRAND CHANCELLOR HERE.
Head of K. P. Lodge Says Excellent
Things Of Blackfoot.

Hon. Perry w. Mitchell, former
state senator from Nez Perce county,
and now grand chancellor of the
Knights of Pythias of Idaho, visited
Blackfoot, Tuesday and Wednesday,
on his annual inspection tour. He
was taken for long ride out
through the surrounding country,
and on his return said that "Black-

will, and have"
Mr.. Mitchell was here about a doz-
en- years ago, to Pythian conven-
tiOn, and came again seven years ago.
He speaks of the vast improvement
that is taking place from year to
year, and he commends Blackfoot in
no measured terms for her enterprise.
The lodge held a big meeting,
Tuesday night, with a few invited
guests, and a feed such as hungry
men haven't been believing there
was left in the world. 1t was a red
letter day in Pythian history.
