WOMAN JURORS DON'T BLINK
 AT GIVING DEATH PENALTY

Los Angeles. Cal. April 17.--Are women jurors more prejudtced against the infliction of the death penalty than men
 This question, left to the individual criminal attorney to answer at his own hazard when women were first drawn to act as jurors. has apparently been solved by time and experience.
 Within the past year more than a score of persons have been placed on trial in Los Angeles criminal courts charged with murder. In each case there have been women on the panel from which the jury was finally se- lected.
 4 comparative list of those who have been excused from jury duty becuse of conscientious scrupIes against the infIiction of the death penalty reveals that the so-called weaker sex have no more qualms over decreeing the death penalty than men.

 London, April IT. The next war-a subject which brings shudders to every Eng1ishman-will be one of un- told horrors from the skies.
 This the prediction which Is freely made here by military author1- ties who are urging that Great Brit ain must augment her air force and no longer depend upon her navy for protection.
 ''The defense of these islands is en- trusted to the Air Force. and aircraft is powerful enough, if sufficient in quantity. to defend our shores from invaSion," Captain Guest, Air Minis ter, delayed. Although he admits that it may be a flight of imagina- tfon,' he points out that in the next war powerful aircraft will pro- excessively expand the areas in which enemy ships cannot move with i'm punity."
 Speed of 200 Miles Hourly.
 Two hundred miles an hour is the ordinary speed of an aeroplane of the latest type. Captain Guest stated, and there is no mechanical limit to the size and carrying capacity of the aeroplane of the future.
 Possibilities of controlling un- manned surface craft or pilotless air machines from other aircraft or from the ground cannot be ignored. he stated in pointing out that the great est devastation of the next war may be from unnamed weapons of war, controlled by a single hand miles dis tant from the enemy.

Washington, April 17-Despite the ilmltat1ons Of the Naval Treaty, Eng land and France are on the verge of navy building competition more intense than any existing before the Washington conference, naval authori- ties now studyig the post-conference situation stated today.
 With battleships prohibited both countries are expected to direct their naval efforts to outbuilding each oth- CT in submarines and light auxiliary ships The situation as viewed by authorities here is this:
 England failed in her efforts to abolish the submarine. France, smarting under the occurrences at the against England by building every submarine she can lay down, naval officials here believe.

 Students of the situation see pos abilities of another limitation con- ference eventually. They point out that Japan is likewise free to engage in competition with the United States with considerable effect, as with sub marines and aircraft that country can control her mandated areas, and the Far East is already open to her by reason of the treaty. Should this develop it is stated, the Americans would be compelled to build submar-

Denver. April r. The first United States, it is believed, will be erected here atop the Federal GUS toms building. Purchase and install 1ation of the plant will begin as socn as formal approval of the project Is received from Washing ton.
 E.. H. McClena-han, prohibition director and enforcement officer for the district of Colorado, announced that the radio system is to be em- pioyed principally for the detection and capture of "booze runners
 We are anticipating some bold attempts to bring bonded liquor in to Denver this Summer" McClena- han said. There is practically no bonded liquor in the city at this time. Booze running in Winter from Canada is almost impossible because of the hoavy nows in wyoming. When spring begins to show up the Northern trails, however, there probably will be rush of booze from Canada.
 The radio will enable us to get many tips of impending excura ons into the United States and into Co., lorado over the Wyoming line from Canada"
 Numerous prohibition agents scattered throughout Colorado will be equipped with small portable

Gandhi's Career
 Is Picturesque

Calcutta April IT - Gandhi, the Indian leader. who now 1anguishes in jail under charges of sedition, has gone through changes of character and manners of living most pictur- eSQue and unusual.
 Not so many years ago Gandhi, silk-haIted and beSpatted, was a law student in England. For many months past he has been almost pen niless, having given, his fortune to the cause of a free India. He has walked the blazing hot streets of In- dia barefooted and has eaten only rice and taken only water as a bev- craze. For many months he has slept on a hord wooden bedstead. All as pennance, as an essential of self purificatfon, which. according to Gandhi, is a root-principle of Hin duism.
 Gandi, a quiet little man. is a deep thinker and intellectual and has abo bout him a suggestion of saintliness which has led to the natives calling him s.MahaIma," which means "saint.''
 This Indian leader inherited a deeply religious temperament from his mother, who educated him in his early years in the ideals of asceti- cism. To him the service to~human- ity is the highest ideal, and the servance of the VOW of truthfulness and nonresistance to violence
 The secret of Gandhi's spell over the people of India has been his per sonality. Soft spoken. almost musi- can in his speech, when he addressed the natives he swayed them. Though he may languish in jail Gandhi will ever be an idol of the Indian popu- lace, and no jail term is apt to break down his ideals.

nedy, twenty-four prospective jurors out of a. total of seventy-two were ex- cused because of objections to the death penalty.
 Of this number only nine were wo- men, The fact that more were not opposed to the death penalty may have been due to the comeliness of the defendant and also because wo- men are harder on their own sex than is chivalrous man. However, in cases where men have been on trial for death-pena1ty offenses the ratio has been "fifty-ffty."
 Recently there were six persons on trial at the same time charged with murder. Of that number only two verdicts have been returned so far. In all the instances but one the jury was made up of four women and eight men. In each case where one was returned the verdict was man slaughter, despite the fact that the defendants were charged with mur- der.
 According to the results of recent murder trials, it is apparent that the woman species' is no more deadly than the male, nor any less when serving as a. juror.

 Since he returned to Athens from exile many countries, including France and Great Britain, have refused to recognize him. Other countries, most ly neutral during the war, have rec ognized Greece's King.
 Recently a mass was celebrated for Pope Benedict NV, to which the Dip lomatic Corps was invited, as well as the royal court. The Protocol Ser vice for several days could not think out a way of having both present without obliging them to meet each other The King, in order to reach his seat had to pass before the Dip Iomatic Corps. means of avoiding the meeting was found by the erec- tion of a huge screen between the diplomats and the King.

Nervous disorders are on the increase. Men and women compelled to go out into the world to battle for a living quite often neglect their health to such an extent that a breakdown Is the inevitable result.
 Such neglect is criminal; In many instances 1t leads to fatal consequences. When you have moody spells, feel depressed, begin to have dis. taste for business or social duties, when you cannot sleep at night-these are sure signs of nervous ailments and should be checked.

LA FOLLETTE'S
PLAN in TALK

Senator La Follette's proposal to
subject Supreme court decisions to
congressional approval and considera-
ton was strongly denounced by w.
A. Garfield at Wisconsin Rapids on
Tuesday night. ''Progressivism" not
"radicalism" was the keynote of his
speech. In no uncertain words he
branded La Follette's proposals as a
dangerous step in the direction of
state and national anarchy.
Ours is a government of laws rath-

said. There are some things a ma
jOrity can not do. The majority can
not take away my life except for
just cause and according to due pro-

KINGSFORD is
GOOD AS A
CAMP AICNER

Among the candidates who visited
Kendall so far was A. G. Kingsford of
Baraboo. candida e Tor The Repupli-
can nomination Tor congress in this
district Mr.. Kingsford was here
Thursday and devoted what time he
had TO getting acquainted with as
many OF our people as possible.
The gentleman believes that the
better way TO campaign is to come
into personal contact with the voters.
Therefore he does that in preference
to brief street speech where only
a limited number of people can be
got together at this season of the
year.
Above ALL. he doesn't forget the fact
that the women are a factor now in
the political game. He met a number
of Kendall women in their homes and
il is believed made a very favorable
impression. Among other things, he
told them their newly acquired right
to the elective franchise has brought
to them new esponsibilities-that
they should familiarize themselves
with the candidates and the issues
and vote-for him if they think the
best interests of the people will be
thus subserved.
Mr.. Kingsford is not a politician
and has not been known heretofore in
political circles. Among educators, he
is known as one of the strongest men
in the state. He was born October 13,
1871, and reared on farm. After
passing through the common schools
he was graduated from the Normal
school and from the University of
Wisconsin in 1898 He has been SUI
perintendent of the Baraboo city
schools the past IL years.
There's a 12-year job that only the
best kind of a man could hold.

Beck, lives. and where Mr.. b. is so
well known he can't carry his home
