Chicago, May 15.-Charles H
brown dean of the Divinity
school of Yale university, in an
address here yesterday, held up
Margot Asquith as a horrible
example of what one ought not
to be-"
"A person may be free from
vices and yet be lacking IN the
Qualities that make up the gen

Mrs. Margot Asquith. She is a
dutiful wife, and behaves well
in church. But her diary out
RACES the finer senses of all
classes in England and the
United States and was exceed
Iingly vulgar. And she did 1t tol
/ paw! Poor woman. she lost hel
way"

Los Angeles, May Is. = Edward
H Morrisey. president of the Los
Angeles Association of Optome-
trists in announcing today plans
for the entertainment of the dele
gates to the Western Congress Of
Optometry, to meet here in a cou-
pie of weeks, said that the congress
would have an important duty in
the discussion of a new affection of
the eyes and the means of correct
ing it The Importance of finding q
remedy lies in the fact that the dis
disease is held responsible for a
number of traffic accidents and
quire it to loop the loop at the
slightest provocation.
1T is ocularis delectare,' d..
Morrisey said, "and this is a dis
ease peculiar to men. They get il
from trying to drive automobiles
and at the same time trying tG
watch fiappers climb curbs and
street cars.
Fact-Not a Joke.
"It is a fact and not a joke
There is a growing tendency to
ward muscular error in the VisioI
of men and optometrists assign il
to the loop the loop convolutionS
of the eye that watch the road ant
the girls simultaneously"
More than fifteen hundred dele
gates from 10 western states ar
expected to attend he congress ant
when they plunge into their dis
cussion of ocularis delectare th'
scientific and medical world will
wait expectantly for the clearin!
of a path looking to the arrest of ;
rapidly spreading malady but tn
strange part of the whole thing i
that the, sufferers from oculart
delectare have no desire to b
cured and will fight the treatmen
to the last ditch-or high curb.

west of Tucson.
Carried Dynamite.
The body of the slain bandit,
whose hands were encased in rub
Der gloves, was recognized by
Sheriff Mcdaniel of Pinal county,
! as that of a Tucson poolrOom
habitue. Beside the bodyswas found
a sack of dynamite with which the
bandits evidently intended to blow
i strong boxes in the mail and bag
gage cars.
A red fuse, a railroad stop signal,
was used by the gang to halt tn"
limited at an isolated spot midway
between Jaynes and Cortaro, at / ~
o'clock this morning.
Seven Men Escape.
Three masked men boarded the
engine and a fourth stood guard
over the passenger coaches. When
Stewart saw that Conductor Made
Lgan was in danger he killed with
one shot the bandit who had fired
at the conductor, then sent another
bullet at four robbers who were
advancing on the baggage and mai
cars. One, apparently hit, stag
gered and shouted to his comrades
Then all seven sped away in thel
cars.
1t is not believed there were am
tri-city people on the train. Pas
senger agents in the three cities TO
day had no records of residents o

WOMEN TO PARTICIPATE
 IN HAWAIIAN POLITICS

HONOLULU, T. H., July 17-Nine. teen women have been chosen as delegates to the coming Republican convention which will draw up plat form for the party in Hawaii. This is a considerable increase over the number of women ever sent to a pre- vious convention and is taken by poli- ticians here to indicate rapidly in- creasing strength in the female vote.
 Changes in the Organic act to per init women to hold political office in the territory are now pending in Con- gress, and the likelihood of woman being sent to Washington as delegate to Congress in 1923 is now seriously considered.
