 Neither tho bill, nor the dcmocra- tic eleventh hour amendment mak- ing it optional for the states to hand the former rulers lump sums as pen- sons has a chance Of securing the required tWo-thirds majority, so that it is probable the matter will go to g plebiscite.

 To Be Retarding Women

Washington, April 2S LF-While scientific research and new inven- tions in the commercial and indus trial field have shifted and in some cases retarded employment oppor- tunities of women, the womcn's bureau of the labor department has found the net result to be expansion of the occupational area open to them.
 As one example of the shift in om- ployment of women. the bureau, in report today sites the artificial silk or rayon industry, Here, tho discov- cry of a substitute for the silk worms process of manufacture has taken women Who during the war helped make explosives from cellu- lose substances similar 10 the silk worms yiscosc secretions, into the manufacture of thread.

45 PERSONS DEAD
This Is Toll Thus Far During Past
 Week in Religious War in Cal

Calcutta India, April 2S P>--Spo- r2diC riOting between Hjndus and MOhammcdans. which has been go- ing on for the last week, has cost th" lives of 45 persons thus far. The total number injured is cstimat- cd at 37a.
 For tho first time since the riot ing organ, the affected areas were tnj"t this morning and the situation vas regarded as much improved. Tho Improvement is probably due to the reinforcement of police by mili- tary drafts and by q general round- m of known bad characters.
 Tn" immediate problem which now faces the authorities is the re. moyal of garbage which has been allowed to accumulate in the streets dnring tho trouble. In the present warm weather the unSanitary rOndi-s lions caused are feared as highly conductive to the outbreak of dis ease.

STILL COUNTING VOTES
IN BOONE AND RALEIGH

Charleston, Dec, 1.-TWO alterna-
tive writes of mandamus granted by
the supreme court today on petition
of Republican candidates threw new
element into the two close election
races waiting to be determined on
the result Of recounts now in prog
ress.
In one case E. T. England, candidate
in the Sixth Congressional districts
seeks to have the canvassers in
Raleigh county ordered to abandon
what he calls a second recount, be-
cause Of Representative J. Alfred
Taylor's request for time to get
affidavits about two precincts IN
that country, and to have them GER
tify the figures reached by the re-
count on November 20.
In the other case Walter S. Halla-
nan, candidate in the eighth State
Senate district, asks that the Boone
county canvassers be ordered to re-
iect ballots from one precinct which
he claims were not signed by the
Republican poll clerk, thus sub
tracing 26 votes from Senator
Clyde B. Johnson's majority in that
county.
Both writs are returnable We'd
nesday.
