WOMEN MAY SMOKE
Pittsburgh, Pa, Chief of Police Says
He Doesn't Care.

So far as being molested by the
police is concerned, women may smoke
in the streets of Pittsburg, Pa, if they
wish, but if they do they will drop in
the estimation of Police Supcrintend-
ent Calhoun.
"There isn't any law preventing
women smoking in the streets" he said
recently, but / believe our Pittsburgh
girls think too much of themselves to
do anything so common. A girl who
would do tha twouldnt do it for any
pleasure she would get out Of it, but
simply to be bold and shock other
people.
II have never received any reports
from our officers that women smoke
in the streets, although they do
smoke in automobiles while standing
along the curbs. We could not stop
them if we would, but if we think a
girl is under twenty-o one, we can ask
her where she got her tobacco and If
she doesn't tell we can detain her until
she does"

- Although there are now more than
5000 Russian refugees in Paris, ac-
cording to the figures Of the police
prefecture, says a special cable dis
patch to the New York Herald from
Paris, Paris cannot claim the title OF
the Russian foreign capital Berlin,
with 100000; Warsaw and its environs,
which are said to harbor 100000, and
Prague and Vienna, into which cities
thousands are pouring in every week,
all have more than Paris. 1t is esti-
mated that if the soviet lifted it's bans
more than two million cmigrants would
seek their old homes. These represent
all political creeds, but the monarch
lists in Paris, regardless Of their own
differences, insist that the dominant
hope among them is FOR the return OF
cZarism.

formally defined in the rules. 1t was
forbidden last year but not Defined
creating some confusion. The defini-
ton reads as follows: Throwing the
body from behind across the leg or
legs (below the knees) of player not
carrying the ball This. however. does
not apply to close line play The
penalty is fifteen yards from the spot
where the ball was put into play.
Unnecessary roughness has been
more clearly defined and an additional
power put into the hands Of the off,
cials. 1t was made more clear that the
officials should be stringent in hand
ling it.
Relating to substitution, a player
taken out in one half cannot return
in the same half, but a player who has
been removed in the first half may
return in the second half, not neces-
sarily at the beginning of a period.
Another change is that interference
with the defensive side on n forward
pass entails a loss of fifteen yards
and down. Time taken out after the
third request by a captain entails a
two-yard penalty; that is, the stakes
are not to be moved as formerly.
A minor change in the Kickoff rule
provides that the winner Of the coin
toss shall have the choice of goal on
kick off, and that these privileges as
to choice shall be reversed at the be-
ginning of the third period.
The reference is permitted TO shorten
the playing time at intermissiOn if
he should decide that darkness is
likely to interfere with the compile
tion of the game. The declining OF
penalties has been made clearer. The
referee in the future will select the

CABBAGE SNAKES APPEAR
Consideration Now Reigns Among
Greenwood Cabbage Consumers.


Greenwood Cabbage Consumers.
After several years of obscurity. the
fearsome cabbage snake has returned,
says a Greenwood dispatch. A speci-
men of the uncanny serpent, believed
by some to cause instant death II
eaten, has been captured and Gagged in
peanut butter jar here, where 1t Is
being watched with fearful interest by
cabbage consumers. Some insist that
to eat the thing means death by
poisoning. A few years ago, the cab
bage snake caused considerable COM
motion among vegetarians of certain
districts of this state.
The newly discovered pest is q
long, sallow, thread of q worm that
appears to be weary of life. Some
think it is merely an attenuated earth
worm that got into cabbage in it's
youth and faded. Others vchcmently
insist that it is true cabbage snake
and they issue solemn warning against
eating cabbage. SO CONSERVATION
rcigns among cabbage consumers and
even kraut is tabooed in places.

loan and note would be cancelled and
the government would pay to the ben
eticiary named by, or to the estate of,
the veteran the face value of the GER
tifcate less the principal of and inter-
est on the government loan.
The certificate of a veteran would
be cancelled only in case he failed to
redeem it before its maturity or if he
failed to make any payments when
due and such default continued to his
death.
New Land Plan Inserted.
The land settlement aid option of
the house bill has been stricken out
and the Smith -IcNary reclamation
,bill substituted. Under that measure
veterans would be given preference in
employment on reclamation projects,
and in obtaining homesteads on land
reclaimed. They would be required,
however, to pay for such homesteads
without further government aid, on the
same footing as other homesteaders.
Settlement would be open to all vete-
rams Of the World war, the Spanish
American war and the Philippine in
surrection and irrespective OF whether
they had received any compensation
from the government under the bonus
bill or other legislation.
The veterans choice among the op-
tions proposed would be made by ap-
plications filed with the secretary of
war, If he were serving in, or his last
service were with the military forces;
or with the secretary of the navy if he
were serving in or his last service
were with the naval forces. Such ap-
plication might be made at any time
after the passage Of the bill and would
have to bc made personally by the
veteran, except in the case of physical
or mental incapocity, IN which event
1t would be made by such representa-
tive of the veteran and in such man.

Is for Japanese or English or French
