SLAIN GIRLS FUNERAL
CONDUCTED BY KHAN
NELLIE HALE'S BODY BORNE
THROUGH THE CROWDED
STREETS OF ST. JOSEPH.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo.-What old time
residents here declared was the largest
funeral within their recollection took
place today when the body OF Nellie
Hale. l4-year-old girl, killed Friday
night by shot supposedly fired by
police, was borne to the cemetery
through streets lined by thousands OF
spectators.
A crowd estimated at 5000 waited
in the cemetery for the cortege, in
which marched 500 members OF the
ku klux khan, robed and with their
hoods raised
The funeral was under the auspices
OF the khan. No uniformed police were
to be seen. Klansmen handled traffic
in the streets with rapidity. Two
klansmen and SIX girl friends OF the
victim were pail bearers. At the grave
hundreds OF klansmen stood at atten-
ton as the body was lowered.
The crowds began forming in the
streets long before the hour set tor
the funeral and grew rapidly despite
drenching rain.
The funeral was the only develop
ment today in the police situation,
which reached a climax last night
when 1900 persons attended an open
mass meeting OF the bu blux khan held
in down town park and demanded
the retirement OF the police board on
the ground that the police department
has failed to take precautions for the
preservation OF lie.
Nellie Hale is the second person
accidentally killed here since last sum
mer while police were attempting to
make arrests.f She was riding on a
country road with her two brothers
when killed According to her broth
ers a police car raced down the road
in pursuit of another car, the officers
firing as they came. Their sister lean
ed out OF the car and was struck by
stray bullet.

THE LIGHTING OF STREETS
ONCE DREW A PROTEST
New England Village in 1916 Object
ed to illumination of Highways.

CHICAGO.-Street lighting, now
adopted in almost every city, village
and hamlet OF the nation, brought out
a storm Of protest in one New Eng
land village when it was proposed in
1916, according to the Illinois COM
mittee on public utilities.
Artificial illumination was an at
tempt to interfere with the divine plan
of the world, which had preordained
that it should be dark during the
night time, the local paper pointed out
editorially.
Doctors of the village said emana-
tons OF Illuminating gas were injuri-
Gus. Lighted streets would induce pe0-
pie to remain late out of doors, thus
leading to an increase OF ailments by
colds.
Others declared the fear of darkness
would vanish and drunkenness and de
pravity would increase. They argued
that horses would be frightened and
thieves emboldened.
Many argued that if streets were il
Illuminated every night such constant
illumination would rob festive occa-
sions OF their charm.

After dates. licorice root is the chief
export from Basra. Practically the en-
tire supply OF both Tor the United
States comes from Mesopotaillia'
which the Arabs now call lrak. Next
in value, according to the local ship
pers, are sausage casmgs and dog
chips, the latter used for tanning the
fine leather OF gloves.
Extravagant Reminder of the War
Basra is much changed since the
time OF Sinbad or even the recent
DAYS before the war 1t was surround
ed bv camps of English and Indian
soldiers, and miles OF swamps when
made it pest hole have been h!led
in. Substantial buildings, memorials
OF military extravaganza, are now
used for Offices by the commercial
concerns which remain. One OF these
is the River Front hotel, an ornate
deserted building on land reclaimed
bv standsucker, the bricks alone
brought from England at an expense
of $6OO0O. Now it is advertised TOR
sale. as the lease has expired and the
owner OF the marsh wants his, land
back, the purchaser to remove build
ing and filled-in land.
"The Mespot' campaign was eX-
pensve for Great Britain, but its al
termath was extremely profitable Tor
those who purchased the remains. The
fine military road OF 474 miles which
England built in Persia fromN her-
manshal to Teheran at a cost OF 500
100000 was one example OF the cost
of war. In March of last year, when
Great Britain withdrew from Persia, 1t
was suggested that Persia pay $40
100000 toward the expense OF the
road. Persia made the counter ,propoS-
al that the expedition take the road
with its other baggage and kept 1t
for nothing.
With ali its temperature Basra IS
a CHEEKY place. There is hospltaoIe

Hosiery Bills LoWer Since
Short Skirts Haze Gone

Passing of the short skirts into the
limbo OF the pasSe has resulted IN 4
decided change in hose for many Wo-
men, dealers assert.
women demanded silk hose OF

months ago" declared a hosiery sales
woman in a department store as She
arranged a display OF PLAIN black "mer-
cerized" hose.
Hosiery bills of the average wO-
man amounted to more than twice as
much in a wear as her bill for shoes, "
estimated the clerk. Short skirts and
cheap hose were not a bit sociable.
The short skirts demanded the best

most beautiful, hose that the owner
OF the abbreviated skirt coufd buy, or

Enter long skirts, and what a
change! We may occasionally have
glimpses OF plain. rich silk simplicity
on the feet and ankles OF stylish wo-
men, but the hosiery is demurely and
modestly following the style OF the
lengthening gown.
Newest styles in hosiery do not
have the usual seam up the back, but
are fitted in the knitting, and will
stay snugly in place around the ankle.

Bones Show Prehistoric
Woman a Tree Climber
Experts So Decide After Examining
Remains of Bygone Ages.

Bones OF a prehistoric woman, be
lieved to have been a tree climber,
have been found in the bed Of the
River Cam, and are being submitted
to expert opinion in London, accord
ing to the London Daily Express.
The bones were brought to the sur
face by dredger within a quarter OF
mile OF the famous Fenland Inn,
"The Five Miles From Anywhere; No
Hurry"
The whole district is one vast for
est of buried oaks, which were in eX-
istence many thousands OF years ago,
before the Fens were formed, and 1t
is hoped to recover the complete skele-
ton.
THE find is a most interesting one,
said a fellow OF the Royal Society to
Daily Express representative.
The leg bones are undoubtedly
those OF a woman but they are OF eX-
traordinary conformation.

$4,000 SAVED TO
FARMERS BY USE Of
IMPROVED METHODS
Hermiston Station Finds Better
Ways of Utilizing Water
Which Works Big Economy.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis, March 27.-A saw
ing of $4,000 was made in the Una
tilla irrigation project in 1921 in
comparison with 1911 due to the spe-
cial methods of irrigation of sandy
soils, reports James T. Jardine, direc-
tor of the Oregon Agricultural expert
ment stations.
New methods of preparing lands al
so reduce costs to one half" said Di-
rector Jardine. This experiment sta
ton at Hermiston represents studies in
reclamation and management of sandy
lands under irrigation. No other sta
tion anywhere is working on prob
lens typical of the lands on the Uma-
tilla project. These problems are typ
ical of those on a number of projects
already under development in other
states consisting of large areas of ad-
ditional sandy lands that will some
day be irrigated in both Oregon and
Washington.
THE limiting factor in agriculture
in this section is water" points out
Director Jardine. In 1911 an aver
age of 9.7 acre feet Of water was used
In the Umatilla project. The average
has been reduced to As feet while at
the same time production has been in
creased"

ADVICE TO THE LOvELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

band failed her and shamed her in every conceivable way. But she stay ed on the pob. Today he is one of our country's big men, and he recog- nizes that the force which helped him to triumph over his own weaknesses is nothing other than a woman's will ingness to give her best where she had promised to "cleaye" until death came to part her from the man she loved.
 There's something heroic in the folks who go and on and never yieu1d to Encouragement or failure. There's something magnificent in their final triumph. But there's noth- ing miraculous in their ultimate vic tory.
 I dare say there's no one of us witha a normal brain and body who couldn't make good in the world if only we wanted to succeed.
 Don't cry out that every one wants to succeed Every one does-prov1d- ed it's not too hard a climb and too desperate an effort. Whoever wants a good time so much that he will remain out half the night carousing hasn't his best left to bring to the job next day. Whoever likes. to take 1t easy and coddIes himself with late hours in bed and giving no more than the re- quired and stipulated time to his job has no chance of forging ahead and winning recognition.
 Work is the sternest of taakmas- ters. 1t demands our best. None of us can live on chocolate cake and po- tatoes and keep our digestion or fig ure. That is plain as the nose on your face. But it's just as plain and just as clear and just as incontro- vertIble that no one can make good with any but the best he has.
 If you're ready to give your best, you cannot fail. Make up your mind to that
