SMASHED COSTLY WINDOW
 AND WOUND UP IN JAIL

PARSONS, w. Va, Feb. 22.-Ben- Iamin Harrison Bishop, twenty-four, took a sudden aversion to plate-glass windows the other day, so he gathered LID a handful of "doricks," commonly known as rocks and started down main business street smashing costly windows along the way.
 The cops started out after him. but he eluded them. Then the aversion returned, and Bishop started out to smash more plate-glass windows in stores and offices. This time the of- ficers took him in charge. He is now in the county jail serving sentence for malicious destruction of property In addition, he has been held for the grand jury under like charges.

MORE JAP IMMIGRANTS
 TO SOUTH AMERICA

TOKYO, Feb. 22.-Japanese eml- grants to the number of 325 sailed from Kobe recently on the Chicago Maru, to make their homes in Brazil This is the largest number of Jap- anese emigrants to leave on one ship for South America since the restora- tion of peace. Owing to the indus trial boom and consequent high wages in Japan during and after the war the Japanese preferred to remain at home.
 Because of the combined encour- agment of the Brazilian and Japan csc governments a number of Jap nese are planning to leave for the South American State later. to en- gage in commee raising and other agricultural work. Nose of the emi- grants on the Chicago Maru were from Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukuoka and Wakayama.

PEN NAME BARRED

A typical case was that of news paper woman, affiliated with the Lucy Stone League, who applied for a passport under her maiden name, which is also her pen name. She in- sisted that it was her legal and only name The State Department refused to deviate from the long established custom, however. The young woman protested vigorously when the pass port was presented to her by the de- partment official, saying that her own name was descriptive of her person and rsonality" and that she had every legal right to use it as she saw fit. She explained that she had never used her husbands name and is not known by that name.
 "The question at bar statement by the women's league says, "1s not the number of kinks it may tie in so- cial customs and usages, but the strength of legal right each individual has in the same name he or she bears"
 The women have only begun their fight, and the State Department is preparing to defend itself against the verbal assault of the amazons.

VISALIA, Cal, Feb. 22.-Fish with as good eyes as any of those which leap for a trout-fly, but which came from 1,5OO feet beneath the surface Of the ground, are being given a chance to live and grow in Lindsay. They were pumped to the surface through 1,445-foot casing of an oil-rig now drilling there. The little fellows are hardly an inch long, and three of the four pumped up are still alive and growing.
 Several years ago blind fish were numped from an artesian we'll near Angiola, but these newcomers nave eyes, which is considered quite un- usual.

C0-EDS IN FURY OVER CAMPUS
 JOKE BOOKS

First co-Ed - What are you
 going to wear to the prom?
 Second co-Ed-i don't know.
 I've decided on nothIn.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-It is such jokes as this in campus magazines that grossly misrepresent" the fair cO-eds, according to the co-eds themselves and who should know it if they shouldn't?
 At Northwestern University 300 CO eds held a mass meeting to protest against the literary output of the cam pus publications, the chief offenders, according to the young women stu dents, being The Purple Parrot and The Daily Northwestern.
 Members of the faculty readily agreed with the co-eds. Prof. Frank lin Bliss Snyder said, "The Purple Parrot is insane and not humorous" and that he couldn't get laugh out of any of the suggestive jokes.
 THESE ARE JOKES
 Some of the squibs printed in the latest issue follow:
 She-What are you thinking of?
 He-the same thing you are, dearie.
 she-I won't let you, and if you try to I'll slap your face.
 And this
 According to Prof. Pooley some of the students are so ignorant they think the Battle of Brandywine was fought in barroom."
 And this one, which the -co-eds in sist in grossly" misrepresentative.
 First Co-Ed-You've been drinking whiskey.
 Second Co-Ed (amateur distiller)- Thank you.
 CALLED TOO sNAPPY
 President Walter Dill Scott, who has received letters from alumni pro- testing against stories as "too snappy'' and too highly sophisticated an, nounced that some action will be taken in the immediate future. James W. Egan, a senior, business manager of the Purple Parrot, pro- fessed unconcern about the furor the publication has created.
 Watch our smoke" he said. "They haven't seen anything yet"

MORAL ISSUE CITED

The State Departments answer is based on a moral issue and points out the embarrassment that might be caused an American consul abroad if he were called upon to assist, for in stance a man who is travelling with woman who does not use his family name yet claims to be married to him. It would make for sorry confusion in the issuance of passports, the State Department holds, and therefore, it has refused to grant the request of many women that their maiden names be used in the making out of pass ports.
 But the women have not surren- dered. Persistent efforts are still be- ing made by large number of wom- en artists, authoresses, actresses and others - to have the State De- partment in issuing passports, recog- nize "the legal right" of married wo- men to travel out of this country under their Christian or family name.
 Several test cases within the last month have effected no change in the departments attitude.
