LEAGUE TO OPPOSE
LAND D|SARMING
Special Commission Will Re-
port That Political Reasons
Are Drawback.
COMMITTEES ARE NAMED
Working Organization Formed for
Sessions of Third Assembly.
Blockade Promises Lively Issue.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, September 5.-A brief
MONDAY session constituted the first
part of today's program of the league
of nations assembly, with selection of
a steering committee as the main
business. This committee will In
clude the presidents of the six COM
mittees chosen yesterday, together
with the six vice presidents to be Sc
lected today.
A general discussion of the league
work in connection with the report OF
the secretariat was scheduled for the
afternoon session. The first item in
this report deals with the registra-
tion of treaties which may give rise
to a discussion as to the amendment
of article eighteen, fixing the status
Of treaties and their value between
the dates of signature and resgistra-
tion.
The questions to follow concern
blockade and amendments to the
covenant. In regard to the latter the
assembly leaders have agreed that
no amendment shall be considered
this year, not even the Canadian pro-
posal to eliminate article ten.
Committees Are Named.
The blockade question, however.
may give rise to an interesting de-
bate as to the system of putting the
economie weapon into effect, which
has never been clearly defined.
In planning the work of the ses-
sion. the assembly decided to distrib-
ute the labor among six committees,
as it did last year. These commit
tees are: Constitutional and iuridi1
questions, technical organization, re-
duction~ of armament, finances, So
cial and general questions ani politi-
cal questions.

DANGEROUS PRECEDENT
SEEN in RAIL INJUNCTION

Talk Of action against the railway
executives persists, but mostly on the
theory that the government will en-
deavor to even things up by appear
ing at least to be as strict with one
side as the other in the controversy.
While there is no certainty that a
federal court would grant a tempo
rary injunction against any railway
executives, the hypothetical discus
sion is based on the idea that the
Interstate Commerce Commission hav-
ing reported that locomotives and
railway equipment is not normal, a
restraining order might be asked for
enjoining the roads from running any
Daugherty in his address to the fed
eral court in Chicago last week
stressed the abnormal condition of
railway equipment, and this more
than any other circumstance has
given rise to the speculation that the
Department of Justice was planning
some sort of action to prevent danger
in the operation Of trains.
Incidentally the attitude of those
railway executives who have, contrary
to expectation, failed to rejoice over
the Injunction against the shopmen,
sirable, Is no longer puzzling people
here. To a certain extent they are
right in their supposition that the in
junction process would be a stimulus
to labor and help the shophnen. Up to
a few days ago the railway execu-
tives felt that they were slowly crush
ing the morale Of the strikers and
would soon bring them to terms.
All Labor Reused.
\ The interjection of the Injunction
issue has aroused Samuel Gompers
and the whole labor world and made
it easier presumably to collect funds
to support the striking shopmen than
might otherwise have been the case.
Mr.. Gompers has made the issue q
broad one. affecting all OF labor, and
IL exhorting the entire labor constitu-
ency in America to help the strikers.
Talk Of a general strike was prob
ably an effective way Of advertising
the importance of the issues involved
so as to bring all labor together in
the moral fight against the injunction,
but while the chance Of ordering a
general strike is remote, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has already
accomplished its purpose by the ru-
of its members and given the striking
shopmen cause to believe they can
continue their strike with unlimited
funds to support them. That's am
other reason why Mr.. Daugherty him.

Having your hair bobbed is just like
getting married-yop never know how
it'll turn out till after you've tried it
and then it's too late.
ITO bob or not TO bob" that is the
question-but Angelina, after much
debating pro and con, much we'll
meant advice of friends, and many
sleepless nights, finally decided to take
the fatal step and yield her tresses to
the BARRIERS shears.
1t couldn't possibly look worse than
some peoples she'd seen, and they
seemed to be existing-in fact. most of
them acted as tho they were really
enjoying life-thus she argued with
herself And, she continued, if the
worst should happen and she did Took
like heck" as her brother prophesied
she would, why she'd tell the CRITICS.
ing public that her hair was getting so
thin that she had to have it cut. And
hadn't her mother always complained
about the amount of time she spent
fixing her hair? Would bobbing it
put an end to that 2--And she could
sleep half an hour longer every
morning this winter, and if she didn't
have to get up SO early she could have
more dates.
Then how much cooler it would be
and how much more comfortable not
to have a dozen haif-pfns jabbing you
at all hours of the day.
And besides, bobbing ones hair is
just like finding the fountain of. i'm
mortal youth. For she argued with
so many girls right here in town who
were five or six years older than she
who looked like kindergartners be-
cause of their short hair?
Financial Argument Wins.
But it was the financial argument
that out weighed all others and won
the day for the affirmative. The an
nual loss in hair-pins would thus be
eliminated. At a very conservative
estimate the price of fifty-two hair
nets would be saved yearly. She'd
have it bobbed and then maybe, in
view of the fact of the great hair net
economy. her family would let her
get that new pair of party pumps she
longed for.
So the die was cast. The hair was
to be bobbed, but when? Taking all
things into consideration it was de-
cided that the most propitious time
was in the evening. Then, with the
aid of a hat, it would be less notice
able.
So the next evening when the shades
of night had fallen, with her mother
and sister as moral support, a rather
shaky-kneed Angelina, with her heart
in her mouth and a "do-or-die" ex-
preston on her face, sought out a
shop with a red and white striped pole
by the door, Casting covert glances
to right and left to rnake sure none
of her friends were near, she stealthily
entered.
Horror of horrors: The room was
full of men, some with fheir faces
white with lather, others looking like
mummies with towels wrapped tightly
around their heads. and still others
in various stages of a hair cut.
''Why won't, I absolutely won't, :
tragically walled Angelina, have it
cut off right before all these men. I
never knew it would be like this or
I'd never have decided to have it

NO AFRICAN CHINCH BUGS
Kansas Farmers Not Bothered With
This Kind of Pest.
-unateIy, Kansas farmers ar

Fortunately, Kansas farmers are
not bothered with african chinch
bugs,' The name, whilS not official,
is that applied by c. w. Miller, regis
ter of the United States land office,
to three huge bugs in his possession.
The bugs, resembling a beetle and
standing about two inches in height,
were presented to Mr.. Miller by Hill
p. Wilson. Jr., an engineer now in the
Belgian Congo, South Africa, and the
son of Hill p. Wilson, former assistant
secretary of state.
Mr.. Miller has been unable to find
anyone who could officially classify
the bugs, so he has named them him
self.
In addition to the three bugs, Mr..
Miller has a bird known as the Lucon
in his office in the federal building.
1t also was presented by Mr.. Wilson.
The bird has a beak six inches long
and four inches from top to bottom.
Mr.. Miller is a bird fancier and is
the owner of a valuable museum, now
housed in the Hays Normal building.
1t contains 500 different specimens
of animals. all except one buffalo
having been mounted by himself. The
specimens have been gathered from all
parts of the world, some rare birds be-
ing the gift of Prof. l. L. Dyche, who
obtained them when he went to the
relief of Lieutenant Peary at the time
he was held up by the ice in Green
land.

ton to any city, township, county, or
state office within thirty days after
each primary, general or special cleo
ton, to file with the city clerk, if for

if for a county or township office, or
with the secretary of state, if for a
state office, an itemized staten ent
under oath of all expenditures made
by such candidate or obligations con-
tracted or incurred by him or her in
eral or special election"
Many representatives, Secretary
Pettijohn informed the attorney gem
raj, are filing their expense accounts
with him, while others are filing
them with the different county clerks
The law requires the county clerk to
certify to the secretary of states Of
flee the vote of the representatives to
be counted and tabulated the same as

Pettijohn said his office has recog-
nized Representatives as state officers,
