LEGISLATURE CLOSES
1922 SESSION coMEsTo END SATURDAY

The 1922 session OF the Mississippi
Legislature came to q close Satur4
day. During the week the leglsla-
ture passed an eight mill State tax
levy and after much wrangling and
blowing succeeded In cutting the
salries OF the state officers sI3. 700.
It has been fairly estimated that
many times the amount saved in
this cutting WAS expended In the
time taken up by the Legislature In
discussing 1t.
The Legislature fought many hours
away over the revenue agent, but
he was left at the close as he was at
the opening free to exact his 20 per-
cent from al collections.

 Report Is Held Up

Mrs. Lucia Searles, aged fl years, wife of R. R. Searles of 1b3 Harri- son street, died early this afternoon at the New Britain General hospital, of ruptured lung. sustained at about II o'clock this morning.
 In some unaccounted manner, Mrs. Searles fell from the third story of her home, and was found by George Strickland, who was passing the house at the time. She was removed at once to the hospital, where everything pos- sibe was done for her.
 The facts in the case were given to Medical Examiner Waterman Lyon. who started an investigation shortly before press time today. He was, at that time. unable to give a definite statement as to the cause of death.
 Mir. Searles is the wife of the vice president and general superintendent of the Fafnir Bearing company, and with her husband came here to re- side about 12 years ago from Phila- delphia.

NOtre Dame Convent De- stroyed-Religious 'Pyr0-
 maniac Believed Culprit

Montreal, April. 19.-Police today redoubled their search for religious pyromaniac following the burning last night Of the historic Notre Dame convent here-the third important Catholic cdifice in Canada to be de- stroycd in less than month.
 The trail of the suspect first was crossed April 14, when fireman well as that a week earlier, which de- stroyed the church of the Sacred Heart here with a loss Of s500,O00, heard man in the crowd Of spccta- tors cxcaim:
 "St Bridget's will be the next, and then it will get the rest"
 The man escaped, but an invcstiga- tion at that time convinced the police a scientific fircbug specializing in crossed electric wires, had caused the church Of the Sacred Heart fire as well as that a wek earlier, which de- stroyed the famous Basilica of Ste Anne de Beaupre, housing the famous shrine of Ste Anne which was known as "the Lourdes of America" :
 In both cases, the fires were found to have been started by crossed elec- tric wires. Further investigation showed that man posing as an cleo trician had sought admittance to St. Vincent de Paul's refuge and the deaf and dumb institute, both oper- ated by Catholic nuns in this city.
 He obtained entrance to St. Vim cent de Pau's and a fire was avert ed there shortly afterward by the timely discovery of crossed wires, The superior at the deaf and dumb institute became suspicious and re- fused to admit the electrician" to that institution.

situation, the Genoa conference, the servant problem and her own chill dren, six in number.
 "The only remarkable thing about me is my six children" she said, holding to the arm of her husband, Viscount William Waldorf Astor.
 Lloyd George still has his head above water, and it's some head too," she replied to a question.
 Lady Astor said she wanted to make it clear that she was not in America on a mission. She is here, she said, because she received an invitation to attend the convention at Baltimore to discuss matters of interest to women all over the world. After that she is going to Virginia, where she was Nancy Langhorne, and then to Wash ington and Chicago and one or two other cities before returning home to her children and her job in parlia- ment.
 Speaking as a Virginian does, with out a trace of British accent, Lady Astor said she was still an unrecon- structed southerner."
 And when l hear Dixie, some thing happens" she added
 Her children she described as "mongrels" ls"-three -fourths American.
 As to women's place in the world she said those of her sex were just as individual as men.
 "One can't say women do this, and women do that" she remarked, be cause they don't do things alike any more than men"
 "I'm just symbol, not a leader" she declared. when someone spoke of her position at the head of the mod ern women who are taking capital roles in the affairs of the world.
 At this point her husband cut in cess just shows what can be done"
 Sure" she remarked, If I, just an ordinary woman. can do it, then think what we can expect from ex- Fraordinary women.'
 The clothes nearly all women are wearing nowadays are unfortunate rom her point ot view, Lady Astor said.
 Nothing lets the sex down like l -unning about half naked" she went on, "There is no use of talking | about equality. if we only use our iberty to show our hideousness. | .ast night I wore dress I have used | ince 1918. If you keep your eye on your body all the time, you can't keep { on your soul

 Their clothes are unfortunate but hat is their mothers fault. The first hing a woman ought to teach her hidren is obedience
