GERMANS STILL CLING
 TO IMPERIAL TITLES
Imperial Vice Consuls Out of Ser
 vice and Others Clutter Up Cards and Documents.

Berlin. Sept. 12.-No country in the world. perhaps is as title-ridden as Germany. The nuisance has be- come so great that the federal gov ernment intends to take a hand and try and bring about some sort of simplification and unification of the titles that are being awarded by the various department of government, federal, provincial and state.
 Before the war every man who did something unusual or who rendered a personal service to his fellow men or to the emperor was given a dec oration and a title. Then came the revolution and all titles and decora- tions were supposed to have been wiped out. Holders of titles how ever, merely printed the letters "A. D." (ausser dienst, or out of ser vice) behind their former titles, so that one still sees visiting cards with such designations as Imperial vice. consul out-of-service" or minister of state out-of-service."
 Then the various state govern ments undertook to apply designa- tions to their officials as indications of rank in the service. In practice, these amounted to titles, so that Ger many now has multiplicity of titles never known before.

ARAB WOMEN ASK
 REMOVAL OF WELLS
Jerusalem Sees Agitation for More Freedom Among Women

Jerusalem, Sept. 12.-The stub born conservatism of the Moham- medan custom with regard to the social isolation of the women in Pa lestine may soon give way before the movement launched by Arab femi- nists for the removal of the veil. The Holy Land, backward in many respects, is behind such Moslem countries as Turkey and Egyut in breaking the shackles holding wom- en in seclusion.
 The movement for the enfran- chisement of Moslem women in Palestine is of recent origin and is traceable to the influx of people from the vest especially Jewish immigrants coming to settle in their national home.
 AS the first stcg towards their emancipation the women demand ec- clesiastical sanction for the removal of the dark veil from their faces. If such flying in the face of age lOuS CucIOHl uOtS liUJ VIII OIllIldi approval, some of the leading Ara b women of Palestine are determined to do what their Moslem sisters did in Turkey, where the veil has been entirely cast off, or at least in Egypt, where only light transparent veil Is still worn extending from below the nose.
 The ban on the public appearance of women has retarded the develop ment of the Arab drama, and it is the hope of the feminists that the admittance of Moslem women to the theatrical stage will follow the re- moval of the veil.
 Arab women of Palestine are keen not only on social emancipation but on participation in politics.

CAVE DISCOVERIES MAY
 LEAD TO BURIED CITY
Explorations into Famous Lehman Caves fin Nevada Point to Poss-
 ible Amazing Discoveries.

Ely, New, Sept. 12.-Scientists of the University of Nevada, in an ex- ploration party headed by Governor J. C. Scrugham, recently have read again the pages of the past in cavers near the famed Lehman Caves and found them rich in archaeological lore.
 Figuring found on the rock wall of cavern, said to be undeniably Aztec, leads Dr. B. F. Schappelle, archaeologist of the university, to believe the discovery one of the most important in recent years. The find- ing of pottery in the caves also moves the pottery line about 300 miles. further north than any ever before found.
 pr. schappelIe and Dr. Peter Frandsen, biologist. have employed six men to assist in the work of ex- cayatihg9 'a'he party found it diffi- cult in places to discern the hiero- glypAies, as .cloudbursts had washed much debris into the caverns. Hiero- glypffcs resembling both Aztec and Egyptian work have been found and members of the party are optimistic in predicting that a veritable under ground city will be discovered.
 A strong flow of water was discov- cred 90 feet below the lever of Baker Creek, and live angleworms were found at depth of 100 feet. A burial cave with an opening four by six feet at the surface. leading to large underground room, con- taining five human skeletons, the bones badly disintegrated due to extreme age.

LADY GHOST EVIC7S TENANTS OF HOUSE
Spirit of Crazy Woman Said to
 Haunt English Mansion

Chichester, Sussex, England, Sept. 12.-"The strange lady, is the name of a. ghost which constantly evicts tenants from a charming old coun- < try, house not from from this city. Families come and families go. Sometimes they stay for several weeks, sometimes they remain for , only few days.
 One modern, up-to-date woman who leased the house pooh-poohed the idea that it was haunted and carefully kept all ghost stories away from her three young children. With in q few weeks the children com plalned to their mother that they did not like to play in their nursery because "the lady" disturbed them. < Finally the up-to- date and skepti- cal mother also saw the strange wo- man. She was unwilling to admit it at first, but boy and girl of-16 and IT respectively, who were visiting her, complained that they also had seen her.
 This female ghost has been seen by 50 many persons, or at least so many persons have imagined they saw 1t, that 1t has become we'll known to ghost specialists in all parts of England. The legend told in explanation of the appirition is that the house was owned by a cava- Her who during the Civil War took refuge in secret chamber. His wife denied to the Roundheads that he was in the building. They set fire to the house and the husband was suffocated. His wife lost her reason through the shock, and her spirit is supposed to haunt the build ing in spite of the fact that it has been rebuilt and little remains of the old mansion.

CHILD WELFARE IS
 MADE PUBLIC DUTY
New Law Makes Swedish Parents Take Good Care Of Offspring

Stockholm, July 15.--compulsory removal of wayward or depravcd children from their homes into public custody. and subsequent supervision up 10 the age of IS, is provided for In new law for the care of children which has just been passed by the Riksdag. The law further provides for public care of children who are found to he exposed to undesirable in- huenccs and in danger of becoming dopravcd.
 Children removed from their homes by government inspectors and mat rons in compliance with this law are placed in government institutions, or in good private homes in the country. where they receive expert training and can grow up in healthful sur roundings. Social service of similar sort has been carried on in the cities of Sweden, especially Stockholm. for many years by municipal and state boards, who place the children in desirable homes far out in the conn try, and pay an annual compensation to these homes. In many cases
 
 tween these waifs of the slums and their foster parents, which culmi- mates in legal adoption.
 Under the now law every city and parish will have special board for the care of children, including local pastors and teachers as permanent members, while inspectors will travel all over the country for the purpose of observing and controlling individ- ual development. Thousands of coun- try homes receive the poor children of the city as guests during the sum- mer and send them back to their homes with cheeks round and rosy.
 Nation wide and energetic phlan- hropc work is also carried on by the 1 Swedish society Save the Children" the campaign eliminating in an an- nual Children's Day, when large sums | ire raised in order to provide sum- | ner vacations in chidren's colonies | oy the seaside, and in some cases on stands specially reserved.
