SEEK TO GUARD SERVANTS
FROM BORROWING BOSSES

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 20.-The
justices Of the peace Of the Argentine
capital have appealed to congress to
enact laws protecting servants from
employers who neglect to pay them
or who borrow from their cooks to
pay for the elaborate dinners they
give in order to maintain Their social
positions.
The justices allege that many who
i've surrounded by servants i'll uni
form and who give great dinners and
whose names are prominent in the SO

to these methods in order to keep up

10 MILLIONS FACE
OLD MAIDS DOOM
War Cause OF Condition Among
Women OF Emope-Compe-
tition For Mems Jobs Seen

LONDON, Sept. 23.-There are
100000 women and girls in Eu-
rope condemned by surplus of their
sex to support themselves through
life and die spinsters.
This conditioI, aggravated by the
war, is resulting IN strenuous compe-
ution by women for mems jobs.
Tie situation is especially acute in
the British Isles, where the first pre-
hminary reports Of the 1921 census
show tire females greatly outnumber
the males, the city population vastly
exceeds the country jewellers.
For more than 100 years there has
been an excess Of females over males,
but never in anything like the pres
ent proportion, l,095 to 100.
Total Figures
The total number of people in Eng
land and Wales is 37,885,242, of
whom 18.O82,22O are males and
10 ,803,022 females. This is an excess
Of 1,720.8O2 famales, compared with
I,l79,27G in 1911.
Aside from the regular excess of
female over male births in England
and Wales, and aside from the loss
Of population by immigration, the
great disparity this time is caused by
the huge losses of men durin" the
wa.

Growth of Cities.
But the growing city population of
Great Britain is Just as alarming to
the social economists. One hundred
wears AGO England and Wales were
self-sustained as to food.
Since then the population has tire.
mendously increased and the total
Of foodstuffs grown at home has
probably decreased.
The result is that Great Britain
is huge workshop which must buv
re daily bread and meat from
abroad and pay for it in manufac
tured goods.
The present census shows that in
the urban districts of ENGLAND and
Wales the population was 30.034,385

districts. The peoples concentration

STERLING MAN FOR
LAND OFFICE POST

Washington. Aug. 15-Nomina-
tions sent to the senate by President
Harding today include that OF Edgar
T. Conquest to be register OF the
land Office at Sterling, Colorado.
Mr.. Ccnquest's nomination had the
sanction Of both Senators Phipps and
Nicholson Of Colorado. II the ap-
pointment Is approved by the senate.
Mr.. Conquest will probably assume
Office about Sep. /. The term Of A. F.
Browns expires August 26. Mr.. Con-
quest has been resident Of Sterling
for mere than ten years having for
a number Of years been engaged In
the laundry business here. He is
vice president of the Commercial
Savings Bank Of Sterling. Sterling
Advocate.
Some time ago announcement was
made that Conquest would be receiv-
er OF the land Office and w. H. Pound
CT Julesburg register.
That announcement seems to have
been premature, and we are not ad-
vised whether the other position goes
to Pound or not.
We did notice some little protest
from Holyoke paper about the dis
position Of these appointments, but
the criticism seemed to hinge on the
nuber d Offices being filed from
Sterling, so that objection would be
the same whether Conquest received
one place or the other.

Judge Norris Bake Married

County Judge Norris c. Bake of
Sterling, whose pronouncements oft
en- have been as the threshold to nup-
tial bliss in romances of others, today
was himself scheduled to approach
the alter as one Of the principles in
a wedding ceremony. Details Of the
wedding were not impaired tc friends
and relatives here when Judge Bake
Tuesday deserted his desk and his
bench and with suspicious smile an
nounced that he was going to take
vacation.
But II Is known that the details
have been carefully considered and
that they include Judge Bake meet
ing Miss Esther Banks of Portland,
Ore, at Denver, a quiet wedding, with
perhaps Miss Banks brother and
Judge Bakke's sisters, Mrs. L. ]. Ken
nedy and Miss Ella Bake, and his
mother, Mrs. Carrie Bake, In attend
ance. and then the wedding trip tc,

Miss Banks and Mr.. Bake began
their acquaintance as students at the
University Of Chicago and since their
school days Judge Bake has taken
the pains to 60 to Portland at least
cnce to renew the acquaintance. The
time Of their return to cterling is one
OF the less important details that
Judge Bake failed to disclose when
he quietly slipped out OF Sterling
