The commencement recital. whose
audiences are usually composed of
fond parents, dutiful aunts and
other relatives, has found in radio
a new opportunity to attract at
tention.
Last night we heard the artist.
pupils of the A. Y. Cornell studios.
Of New York, in what bore all
the earmarks Of the old commence
ment recital. playing and singing
their pieces from the studio of
WEAF.
There was the added interest in
that the Cornell pupils are con.
siderably above the average of
musical students and many of their
numbers proved very meritorious.
We trust. however that we will
not be subjecteH to a steady radio
diet Of commencement recitals
from now until the middle of June.
Especially pleasing last night
were the voices of Ruth Ely, Claire
Lampman and William Spittal.
The radio interview, which We
had never regarded as of much
especial interest to listeners-in
turned UP In a somewhat more in.
teresting affair last night when
Nanette Kutner interviewed Phil
Baker. accordion artist of the Music
Box Revue.
Phil, in addition to answering
the stock questions, performed on
his accordion and brought in one
OF his pals to sing Coal Black
Nanny" to his accompaniment.
Incidentally, Phil got away with
some Of the best lines yet in the
series Of interviews.

At the convention just closed of the
National Guard Association IT was
resolved to support the need OF the
District Of Columbia National Guards
men In their f1ght for adequate armo-
ries. and also to assist in the fight
that men employed in the Federal
Government departments be granted
leave from their work to attend the
National Guard encampments. The
support of the National Guard Asso-
citation to the District. of Columbia
suardsmen In their fight for new
armories will mean much.
Brig. Gen. Milton A. Reckord of the
Maryland National Guard was re-
elected president of the association.
Lieut.. Col. Leroy Pearson of. the
Michigan National Guard. was re-
elected secretary. Brig. Gen. J. c. r.

was elected vice president, and Brig.
Gen. Charles I. Mclean, Kansas Ma
tionai Guard, treasurer. Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan, commanding the Dis
trict of Columbia National Guard and
the 2sth National Division as well,
was elected vice president for the
Sd Corps Area.
The reserve officers are starting in
to make plans for the coming Sum-
mer training camps. There Is much
speculation as to who will be the
commanding general at Camp Meade,
Nd, where the officers from the
States of Maryland and Virginia and
the District of Columbia encamp. AS
Brig. Gen. Harold B. Fiske, u. S. A..
has been in command there for three
successive years, 1t Is not expected
that he will be the commanding gen
eral there this year. Among the
general officers that probably will be
assigned to Camp Meade are La Roy
S. Upton and Charles ]. Symmouds,
and there is some talk of Paul Il.
Malone being assigned there. At the
present time Gen. Symmonds is on
duty in the Philippines. He is con-
sidered a very strong military man
for duty in connection with the
CMTC. Odds are in favor, at the
present time at least, Of the assign
ment going to Gen. Upton '.
In order to correct the belief that
no more applications will be received
for commissions in the Officers Re
serve Corps, Col. John Scott states
that the change made on November
IL only concerns officers OF the World
War who previously had ben per-
ritted to come into the reserve corps
with the same grade and rank that
they held during the war. They were

Prud'hon's dilemma has been trans formed into 'trilemma; housewife, stenographer or courtesan-which shall it be? Housewife? Impossible, unless one becomes the domestic of thoers. Stengrapher? The market is already filled and overflowing and in France especially, salaries are very low. Courtesan. A profession very difficult to learn and one re- quiring a natural disposition.

URGES THAT WOMEN FIGHT NEXT WAR
 TO EQUALIZE NUMBERS OF THE SEXES

PARIS, Nov 2S.-The women should fight the next war declares Clement Vautel in Cyrano, a new weekly review which has just made it's appearance in Paris.
 ''If I were a delegate to the League of Nations I would make a handsome speech proposing this very thing continues the writer. Nothing is more just and nothing more necessary Since the world was born it has always been the men who have done the fighting. Your turn now, fair ladies. From the ramparts we will sit back and watch you at war in the plains, re- serving our rewards when you re- turn"
 That there is more truth than fic- ton in this idea no one will deny Everyone agrees that there are too many women. In every country, es- pecially in the Old World, it is the same cry, there aren't enough hus- bands to go around and most women go begging. Statistics show that in all of Europe there are twenty or thirty millions of women in excess France alone has two millions more than she needs. Result: The women are disgusting their sex more and more and taking on masculine char acteristics. They have cut their long locks, taken to smoking and voting and aping mere man in every way.
 But these tricks are not going to help out much," says Monsieur Vautel Tn fact, in the end, they will only turn the old world topsy- turvy. A society in which a woman is no longer an object to merit and conquer is society in danger The struggle for woman has been the beginning of all great efforts toward success and fortune.

WOULD HAVE CODY
AND POWELL JOIN
BASE BALL LEAGUE

C.. A. Baston, manager of the Base
ball Committee of the Worland Com
mercial Club, writes the Enterprise
that a movement is on foot in the
basin to organize a leauge to be
known as the Big Horn Basin
League, and composed of teams from
Cody, Powell, Worland, Greybull,
Thermopolis and Lowell.
So far Cody and Powell have failed
to respond to the invitation to be-
come members of the league, and, as
Mr.. Baston remarks, it does not seem
like it would be complete without
teams representing these two towns.
The organization of a league would
assure the Basin Sunday and holiday
games throughout the entire season,
and it is the intention of those most
active in the plans to end the summer
by sending a representative team
from the league, with at least one
Post Tournament. Their idea is not
to send any one team to the tourna-
ment, but to pick the best material
from the league with at least one
player from each team. The men will
wear the uniforms of their respective
towns, so that the advertising derived
from the trip will be distributed over
the entire Basin. The mixed uni
froms will be a novel idea, and will,
no doubt, draw a great deal Of atten-
ton.
Some local action should be taken
in this movement, 81 that our city
would be represented in the league
assuring the Cody fans some good
fast games, and the Basin some very
beneficial advertising.

STATE Department
WOULD CLOSE CODY
FISH HATCHERY

viii the Wyoming State Game and
Fish Commission close the local fish
hatchery and waste the half million or
more fish nov on hand?
This question has aroused consid-
cradle concern among local sports
men, and no effort will be spared to
prevent the hatchery being closed.
r. r. Rousseau, local game and
fish warden has received orders to
plant the half million fish now at
the hatchery, this being n of a
cries Of actions recently taken by
the state department in its efforts to
reduce expenses.
To plant the fish mt this time would
be to lose practically all Of them, due
10 the high water and to the fact that
the fish arc barely a month old. The
Cody Rod and Gun Club has passed
a resolution and are circulating a pc
ntion against the closing of the hatch
cry, and the Cody Club was asked to
present a resolution against this ac-
ton to the state department immedi-
ately, in an effort to keep the hatch
cry open at least another month, OF
until such time as the high water sub
sides and the fish become more ma
ture.

MEETEETSE FOLK
SEEK STATE AID IN
ROAD MAINTENANCE

The inconvenience tolerated by the
business houses of Meeteetse and the
country people of that community
due to the bad condition of the Cody
Meeteetse road during the past whit
err were brought to light by Mr.. Chas.
March and Mr.. Gene Phelps in ad-
dresses before the Cody Club at the
regular meeting of that body at the
Irma Monday, when the Cody Club
was requested to petition the State
Highway Department for some extra
maintenance men to be put or the
road at nee.
Mr.. March gave some very interest
ing details of the unusual conditions
which existed the past winter. ex-
planning that the Meeteetse Mercan-
tile Company has spent more than
$3.50 since the first of January in
keeping the road open. He also ex-
planned that this road is Meeteetse's
railroad over which all of the needs
of that community must be transport
ed, and that his firm alone hauls more
than a million pounds of merchandise
annually over this road.
"Twice this winter" Mr.. March
said, 1--WE have been without mail ser
vice for periods of six days. 1t has
taken an average of six hours for our
trucks to make the trip one way. All
this retards the progress of not only
the community as "A whole, but the
progress of individual business insti-
buttons such as the stores, banks, ETC.,
because of their inability to carry on
their regular business thru the mails"
A resolution was framed up by the
roads and transportation committee
of the Cody Club, to back up the pc
tition prepared by the business men
of Meeteetse and forwarded to the
State Highway Department request
ing that relief be given immediately
thru the authorization of additional
Because of the fact that THE Nee
teetse country represents an unusual
ly large inland population, it is hoped
that the State Highway Department
will see fit to not only give the as
~sistance desired at this time, but also
to plan for such improvements on
the Meeteetse road this summer that
will prevent such conditions in the
future as have existed the Past
winter.

SEWERAGE PLANS
BEING FORMULATED
BY TOWN COUNCIL.

Another step toward the completion
of a feasible and possible sewerage
system plan was taken by the city of
ficials at the regular meeting of the
town council last Monday night when

scented by Mr.. Howard F. Bell, city
engineer.

Kimball Engineering Company, Cas-
per, vas unable to be present to sub
nit a proposed plan, and the Bell
plan was given consideration, but no
definite action as to its acceptance
was taken.
The city officials went out Tues
day morning to view the proposed
site for the sewerage disposal.
The general feeling is that there
exists an urgent need for a sewer
system in the town, and il is general
ly believed that if some plan can be
designed whereby n system that will
be adequate for the present time, and
that will come within the means of

ton, such n plan will meet with no
opposition at the city election in May.
