Bill Proposes to Prohibit All Vermin in Quarters of Mining

CARSON CITY, New, March 15.-A bill to oust cooties from Nevada bunk houses passed the Assembly today de- spite the arguments of Assemblymen that cootie cannot be controlled by law.
 The bill relates to mining camps and those devoted to construction works and other activities where laborers are house. Lighthouses must be clean, airy and free from vermin," the bill reads. Opponents of the measure declared that the law would prom ise something for labor that it cannot deliver.

CHICAGO, March 15. -- The visitor who laboriously pries and prods his way through the surging throngs of "the worlds busiest corner"-State and Madison streets-probably looks upon Chicago as the last word in con. gestion. And, too, many Chicagoans are almost startled to learn that in reality Chicago is a city where con. gestion extends little beyond the streets of its famous Loop" district
 According to official figures, one- third of the millions of Chicagoans live in onefamily houses or flats. In all there are approximately 750,000 such homes here.
 The report, which is incorporated in a survey made by the Chicago zoning commission, also reveals that another million of the population of this city live in two-family flats. Only one mil lion live in larger apartment houses and flats over stores.
 Onefamily homes here have a total frontage of 777 miles, the report shows. Two-family flats have total front age of ASA miles and apartment houses and aggregate frontage of but 263 miles.
 Alderman John Lynch, of Chicago, is still wondering how it happened. When visiting Paris the Alderman one day discovered his watch had stopped. He shook it, but to no avail. It was dead"
 A jeweler promised to make the ne cessary repairs, after expressing some wonderment that a man could be so indiscreet as to carry such a trinket with the Apaches' fingers itching.
 The Alderman lost his street guide. Also he lost the address of the jew eler to whom the watch had been taken. He told his trouble to the Pre- feet of Police, who, with many bows, informed him the watch would be re- turned
 Following his return to America Al derman Lynch one day received a bulky and official appearing letter. It announced that the Prefect of Police had found his watch, and that it had been returned. Then came notice from the customs officer here of the ar. rival of a package.
 The Alderman was somewhat bewil. dered when, on his arrival at the GUS 1 toms office, he found awaiting him a package containing clock eight feet tall and foot and one-half thick. To give women of Illinois laws pat termed after those of Wisconsin, "giv ing women every right that men have, will be the first effort of Mrs. Lottie ONeil, Illinois first woman member of the State Legislature.

 campaign to make all laws of the country fair to women because it is

 particularly serve the men of the flu ture because of the better opportuni ties they will have as children.
 Equal rights for mothers, wives and daughters in every State in connec tion with every law is what women must work for now"
 Wisconsin was pointed out by speak. CTS as the lone State of the Union now possessing laws granting women ab- solute equality with men. NrYYANk NKhy nIICT
