Tasmania May Secede From
 Australia

Sydney, N. s. w., April 20.-The possibility of a request by Tasmania common wealth was indicated today at gathering which assembled to bid farewell to the retiring governor, Sir William Allardyce, following contin- ued complaints by Tasmania of the unfair treatment she is receiving from the commonwealth.
 T. Murdock M. L. C., declared that unless there were radical alterations in TaSmania's financial relations with the Commonwealth, His ExceIlency would probably find a deputation re- questing the Imperial authorities at London for relief. He said that the commonwealth is drawing about B. OOO.0O pounds yearly from Tasmania, which was compelled to share the cost of all federal public works for the mainland, which did not benefit her, and that she received. hardly anything worth mentioning" in re-

 MT. Robinson said yesterday: '"The coming drive demonstrates that while we might be far apart on political questions, when it is a question of community interest, such as the Com munity Chest Campaign, it is a very easy matter for us to get together for the common good. It has always ap pealed to me that this is the nice feature of American politics; that while we may differ strongly and

Iowa Will Soon Go To Davy's
 Locker

Philadelphia, April 20-Preparations are going forward at the Philadelphia Navy Yard toward placing the old battle ship Iowa in condition for the day shortly when she will be sent to Davy Jones locker some place off Cape Henry.
 Besides having the reputation of an old fighter, the Iowa may be better known as the radio controlled vessel |, or the ship without a crew. The radio-controlling apparatus is being removed from the Ohio, the Iowa's s mother ship. and being placed aboard the destroyer Dickerson.
 Escorted by the Dickerson, some time the latter part of this month, the Iowa under her own steam, VIII take her place in view of the whole Atlantic fleet, it was stated. and then be sunk. The idea of disnantling a vessel that has held its own at sea is to navy men just as gruesOme as an execution. Sinking a ship in it's own matter and when the Iowa takes her last long dive into the deep there will be no mourners.
 It has not been determined exactly how the old man of war is going to be sunk, but it proba ply will be done with big guns from the dreadnoughts of the fleet.
 Tests of the armor-piercing Qua1i- ties of new projectiles and new guns are to be made in addition to the tests is slow and to a certain extent un- wieldIy.
 For two years the Ohio has been the control ship of the Iowa but with the little Dickerson usurping her place. the Ohio will be stripped of all re- movable parts and probably placed on sale with others of the fighting ships that were

KNOCKERS HERE FOR
AMERICUS COLE Girl

And why not? Knockers are the
very latest, craze of the sports girls,
Of the metropolitan girl, of the ath-
letic girl, and why not for the love-
ly Americas women who have already
affiliated with the Americas GoB
club and intend to go into golf for
the very best that is in it.
Nothing is more practical for the
sports than a nifty Knicker suit.
Built along lines that are decidedly
new, after the soft clinging fashions
of the last few years fashions that
introduced frills and furbelows and
lace and all the dainty femininity
which a girl loves if she is to play
an exciting game of bride in pref
tily decorated sun parlor on an en-
chanting afternoon, as she daintily
sips tea and munches on a delicate
sandwich. But not so for the jolly,
rolicking, swiftly moving women on
the golf links. They must have per-
feet freedom of movement, untram-
elled with laces and flowing sleeves.
A stunning Knicker suit, just the
thing for first appearance of the ath-
letic woman on the golf green which
is being rapidly put into shape by the
management of the Americas Golf
CLUB, is being shown in Americas for
the first time. Just out of it's New
York wrappings, this nifty sports suit
is now being displayed in the show
window of the Pinkston company,
where it has become the instant adj
miration of the passers-by. Built
along lovely straight lines, fashioned
of the newest sports material, this
Trelaine Knicker suit is jolly re-
minder of the delightful hours to be
spent in the open. The jacket lends
slimsness to the figure. Tailored
stitching outlines the inverted pleat
down the back, accentuating further
the dominant note of snugness. Belt
ed at the normal waist with a mar
row leather belt, clasped with a silver
buckle, an odarble femininity is the
patch pocket which adorns each side
Of the coat.
And the Knockers! That is the
