PLANNING TO
 PREVENT WAR BY ALLIANCE
(By Associated Press)

DETROIT, June 2S-A resolution was introduced at the Socialist na- tional convention yesterday, which in vited all radical organizations in the United States to attend a conference next year for the purpose of forming an alliance to prevent the return of wars through threats of general strikes. The resolution proposes program following the points in opposition to war, restoration of political liberty, collective owner ship and the control of instruments of production of monopolistically owned; also an agreement for the use of both political and industrial means to these ends.
 The convention held that gen. eral strike is powerful weapon for working classes, but advocacy in the United States under present condi- tions would be folly"

STARTS REFORM ON DIVORCE
 LAWS

(By International News Seryice,)
 RENO, Nev.. June 28.-Picking out your favorite judge to hear the mer- it's of your case has been a favorite indoor sport of the divorice colony here. it is said, following a confer ence of Judges Moran and Lunsford and E. H. Beemer, the county clerk.
 The conference was made necessary because of the alleged arbitrary se- lection by certain attorneys of the judges to hear their cases. The prac- tice has grown to such large propor- tions that it has becom distasteful to the Washoe County judges; and has led to revision of the system used in assigning divorice cases after they were filed
 Up to the present time assignments to the two departments have automa- tically been made as cases were filed with even numbers going into one de- pertinent and odd numbers into an- other. It is said that some attorneys have held back cases of thei clients for several days in order that the next number on the register might be fav- orable and the case be set before the "favorite" judge. Attaches of the clerks office have been kept busy an swering telephone calls as to the next number on the register.
 The conference of the judges and clerk resulted in change of system which will make it impossible to fore tell which judge will preside when a case is called. Hereafter all cases as filed will be assigned by drawing numbers from box. Using this sys- tenn it will not be possible to tell which department will have case.

 AS MURDERER
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
 TWIN FALLS, Idaho, June 2S.- Mrs. Lydia Southard, who stands ac- cused of numbering the four husbands who preceded her present husband, a petty officer in the United States navy, has arrived here from Honolulu via San Francisco in the custody of Sheriff H. V. Ormsby, of this city, to await trial in the October session of the Twin Falls court. She is also accused of murdering her 26-months- old daughter and a brother-in-law.
 Mrs. Southard Is slender, color less little woman with gray eyes that lack anything but ordinary ex- pression. Her smile is warm and she carries herself gracefully. Mrs. Southard, those who have seen her agree, is the last person one would select as possible wholesale mur- deress.
 Mrs. Southard is anxious to escape interviewers. Throughout the long trip across the Pacific and up from San Francisco to this little city in the sagebrush country Mrs. South ard has maintained a perfect calm. "T am not worried" she said in an- swer to question. "Why should I be? I have a clear conscience and documentary proof of the cause of my husbands deaths and little Lor- aine Marie, my baby"
 Little Lorraine Marie was the daughter of her first marriage, her husband having been Robert c. Doo- ley, a Missourian.
 Mrs. Southard has asserted that her husbands died from disease, which she admits might have been contracted from her as carrier The charges against her allege murder by poison.

CAPITAL IS AC0C OVER WHO'S
 WHO
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service) WASHINGTON, June 28.-With the White House again the social center of Washington, there has broken out anew the ancient war over Who's Who in the national capital"
 Students of estiquete, socia, lead CTS and social climbers, diplomats and statesmen are all engaged in dis putting the question over teacups and cocktail glasses (yes, there are still a few in use in the capitaD.
 The president, of course, ranks everyone in Washington, even the first lady of the land. Official eti- quette demands that the president go first everywhere, and if you see photograph of the president pre- ceding the first lady of the land as they leave church or enter it, don't think the chief executive discour- teous. He has to do it, for official etiquette demands it, chivalry or no. Perhaps this may be a matter to be taken up by the feminists).
 The vice president ranks next to the president.
 So far it is very easy. But now comes. the moot question. Who ranks next to the vice president?
 Recently on White House dinner guest list the speaker of the house was ranked just beneath the vice president. Immediate consternation resulted. State department etiquette sharks took the matter up with the dictators of White House formality.
 A lengthy discussion followed and precedents were searched in the con- gressional library. The state depart ment sharps were victorious. When the dinner was served the secretary of state sat next to the vice presi- dent. This victory caused small sensa- tion and led to some protest from members of the United States senate who declared that had they been present at the dinner they would certainly have felt entitled to sit i, above any cabinet member, for they argue that the senate makes the cabinet, and it is only by senate ap- proval that cabinet officer gets his position.
 Then along came the members of congress, who declare that they are on social par with the members of the senate, for don't they represent the people just as much as the sen- ators?
 No one has really determined just where the justices of the United States supreme court fit in this scheme of rank.
 General John J. Pershing offers an- other problem to those who have the duty of seeing that all social preroga- tives are preserved and that no feel ings are injured.
 Certainly there will be social sen sation if the president, the vice pres- ident, members of congress, the diplomatic corps and the generals of the armies of the United States ever sit down at dinner together, for mo- body knows yet just Who's Who in the national capital"

with Us always. and because we so
frequently hear of its presence, a

The more spectacular disease, such
as smallpox. measles and scarlet

WhoOping cough 10. smallpox 3,

Nor is Oklahoma alone. In the
year 1920 Michigan had 1873 (S more

Practically all deaths occur in chill
