"BROOM HANDLE" IS
 NEWEST PARIS CLUB
Women Members Must Be Five Feet 6 Five Inches Tall and Weigh Not
 over 13O Pounds

PARIS, March 15.-Fat men may be popular, but the fat lady is always awkward, especially in these days of straight, slinky clothes.
 The "Broom-handle Club" is Paris's s latest way of showing it's approval of the lean lady. Two conditions are ab- solutely necessary in order for young woman to join this club-one must measure at least feet inches in stocking feet and weigh not an ounce over 13O pounds.
 The "Broom-handles" in Paris num- Der about thirty-six and for the most part are young and pretty. Very few of them are married, for it appears that when "Broom-handles" are mar ried they soon lose their slim lines and are compelled to resign from the club. One year of married life changes the 13O pounds to 140.
 "Broom-handles" are much more popular than their sisters, the "petit pots," the fat, chubby creatures who are so difficulty to clothe in the mod ern dress. Fashion designers pick all their mannequins from the "broom- handles" for they know they will bring them the biggest sales.

OCEAN FLOOR IS

 ON PACIFIC COAST

SAN DIEGO, March 15-Submarine mountains and valleys, plains and plateaus, every geographical form, in fact, except perhaps submarine deserts, are being mapped out on the floor of the Pacific from Cordova, to Mexico, in Photographic surveys by the ocean bed in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands will also be sur veyed
 Three steamers, the Pioneer, the Discoverer and the Guide, are en- gagged in the work, which will prob ably not be completed before 1925. For the past four months the Pi- oneer and the Discoverer have been working along the southern Cali fornia coast, but are now en route to Alaskan waters, via San Francisco. On June 1, they will be joined by the Guide, now at New York having a sounding device Installed.
 One of the interesting discoveries made by the Pioneer is that surveys made in 1853 of Cortes bank, 90 miles west of here, were so accurate that few changes, if any, will be needed for present day charts. On the other hand, it was found that Bishop Rock, rock and clay pro- jection at the center of the Cortes Bank, on which four-masted ship was wrecked in the early fifties, is approximately one and one-half miles off position

WOULD BAR FL0ATERS
 BY PASSPORT SYSTEM

LOS ANGELES, March 15.-A sys. tenn of passports in effect between states would stem the tide of idlers and potential criminals which each Winter tax the resources and in genuity of the police of Los Angeles and other California cities, according to Captain of Detectives George K. Home.
 Ninety per cent of our floaters- potential criminals-are youths under twenty-five" said Captain Home "boys from farms, from respectable homes, who start out to see the world, travelling by the side-door Pullman route. Nomads, nondescripts their appearance keeps them out of the residential districts and they stay downtown, where they gradu, ally drift among the criminal chaff, not because they are vicious, but because they must eat and are un. qualified to support themselves.
 with a sort of passport system in effect between states we could keep these boys at home, denying them passports until employment is as sured in the city to which they wish to move"

COUNTIES ON EAGLES
 FOR PAST SIX YEARS

In six years, from January 1, 1917, to December 31, 1922, 15,645 eagles were killed and bounties paid on them, according to the official audit of the Territorial Treasury. From July 1, 1916, to December 31, 1922, 1,26O wolves were killed and bounties paid on that number by the Terri tory, according to the same author ity.
 The number of eagles actually killed during that period is undoubt- edly some larger than the official figures credit, as the eagle bounty is not always claimed, hunters who merely kill one or two of the birds while in the field after other game seldom claiming the bounty fee. The claim made by certain elements in the States that the eagle has almost been annihilated in Alaska is not substantiated by the yearly record contained in the audit report. In fact, the calendar year 1922 saw more bounties paid out than any other year since the law was passed. In that year, $1659 in bounties was paid out by the Territorial Treasury. This represents bounty on 3,31S eagles, 131 more than any other year. The number killed in the other years according to bounty records, was: 1917, 2,O97; 1918, 3,1S1; 1919, 2,641; 1920, 2,377; 1921, 2,131.
 Wolf bounties paid out by year were: 1916 (six months beginning July D, $5S0; 1917, $1,13S; 1918, $3,225; 1919, $3,63O; 1920, $3,42O; 1921, $3,515; 1922, $3,39O.

90 YEARS OLD, HE
 GETS PRISON TERM
Aged Man, Deprived of His Farm Threatens Son-in-Law Who
 Redeemed Mortgage

WALLA WALLA, Wash, March 15. Thomas Robertson, 90, serving sen- tence of from six months to five years in the penitentiary here for threaten ing the life of his 76-year-old son-in- law, is believed to be the oldest man ever incarcerated in a State prison.
 Robertson was sentenced from San Juan County, in the northeast corner of the State. The long trip to Walla Walla was so hard that the was con- fined for some time in the prison hos pital for medical attention.
 Prison records show the aged con- vict is a "second timer" He was sentenced for second degree murder on April 26, 1902. The sentence was commuted August 1, 1908, for good be- havior.
 A dispute with his son-in-law over the possession of a farm caused his present trouble. Robertson formerly owned the property, but mortgaged it. His daughter and her husband re- deemed the mortgage and assumed control of the farm. The old man, however, could not reconcile himself to the fact that the place was no longer his and started trouble which resulted in his being sent to the San Juan County Farm.
 He broke away from the County Farm, was captured, but again es- capped. He returned to his daughters home and threatened the life of her husband. A 50-year-old grandson pre- vented bloodshed, and the Superior Court brought second conviction.

RENAL SWEARS T0RECAINL0ST
 TURK FREEDOM
Vows Over His Mother s Grave He Will Restore
 Independence
ATTAINMENT IS UNCERTAIN
Moslem Leader Once Defied German War
 Lords

SOFIA, March 15 - Mother who gave me life and energy and will, I VOW at your grave that I shall not cease my efforts until our common parent, our dear fatherland, is con- pletely re-established as free and in- dependent state.'
 Mustapha Renal Pasha hero of the Turkish nation, recently visited the grave of his mother at Smyrna. Amid a drastic silence, his voice throbbing, Mustapha raised his hand and swore this oath.
 Today that oath has become a watchword throughout Turkey. It may be regarded as the expression of na- tionalist spirit that has seized upon the entire Turkish people, and in it may be found the explanation of Tur- keys firm stand against the Allies in the present Near East crisis.
 Fearless Leader
 Interesting incidents in the life of Mustapha Kemal Pasha are being re- counted throughout the Near East since his rise to power. Tales of his fearlessness and his adamantine will have spread throughout the Turkish nation and have served greatly to en- nance Kemals prestige as the great est Angorite of the day.
 It has been revealed that Renal is not a Turk at all, but Pomack. which means a Moslemized Bulgar. He is a native of the small Macedonian town of Prilep and was an officer in the company of Macedonian revolutionar- ies that brought about the fall of Abdul Hamid. It was there that he learned the military tactics that en- abled him to lead the Turkish forces victoriously against the Greeks.
 Kemal's fearlessness and firmness of purpose are illustrated by the story of his defiance of the German kaiser when the exile at Doorn was boastful- ly proclaiming himself as the saviour of Turkey.
 Defied German Power
 At banquet given in honor of the former kaiser the German warlord de- clared that under German generals Turkey would be restored it's lost pres tige. Kemal, then a young lieutenant, despite the knowledge that defiance of the kaiser might result in his deg radiation, dared the wrath of the "All Highest and replied:
 Turkeys regeneration is to be eff fected only by a son of that same Turkey, and that man is I, myself!"
 His insolence cost him dear, for the Turkish army then was under control of German officers. Kemal's military genius, however, could not go unrec- ognized, and he triumphed despite the intrigue of his German superiors.
 Whether KemaIs boast that he would restore the independence of Turkey will be fulfilled and his oath on the grave of his mother be sancti- fled by accomplishment is still uncer- tain. The qualities that inspired the boast and the oath, however, have made him the idol of his followers and have convinced large numbers of the Turks that he is the nations greatest statesman, organizer and general.
