GIRLS CONDUCT!
SHOCKS SINGER
Nine. Luella Melius Scores Ac-
ti0ns of Sophisticated Bobbed
Haired Women

New York, Oct. 6.-(F)-Mme. Lu-
ella Melius, prima donna of the
Chicago Opera company and cham
pion Of unshorn locks, is distressed
over the conduct of sophisticated
bobbed haired women at sea.
Returning from Europe yester-
day on the French liner Degrasse,
she said:
"There were only ITO men in the
cabin, and they were mostly elderly.
The majority Of women were young.
or they looked young. and nearly
all seemed to be bent upon captur-
ing q man. The older men were the
favorite marks for the flappers.
"A scientist in Vienna informed
me that q woman who bobs her hair
loses her power of concentration.
The bobbed hair women on the De-
grasse retained their powers Of con-
centration SO far as the men are
concerned.
Girls Show Progress
II never saw such display Of legs
calves and even thighs. And ]
never saw such female sophistica-
tion. Our bobbed haired rising
generation Of girls is showing
progress, if you can call that
progress.
Il saw them seated in postures
that could not in any sense Of the
word be termed - st. And the
men were easy. Oh, 50 easy.
II thought I knew something
about the art Of attracting men, bit
/ find ! am = novice 1t It despite
my stage training"
Mime. Melius wears her hair long,
and that fact percipitated clash .
year ego between her and Mary
Garden, who rcaintaineu H.. I women
who wear long tresses were fools,
and furthermore, had microbes in
their hair.

TOLEDO NEEDS
ONE MORE GAME
Victory For Mudhens Today
Will Give Them Little
World Series Title

Toledo. Oct. 6.-tP)-Thc Buf-
falo Bisons, champions Of the Inter-
national league, stood at bay today
with defeat in the "little world
series" lowering over them, holding
only one victory out of five in the
conflict with the Toledo Mudhens
of the American association. Toledo
needed only one victory today to
take the class A baseball champion
ship.
-Irs,e injury Of Bill Huber, Bison
third baseman, who sprained Or
cracked his ankle while sliding into
second base yesterday, brought a
difficult decision squarely before
Andy Cohen, the Bison's brilliant
shortstop. His team needs his
strength badly, with an already Grip
pied infield, and yet today is the
day his ancestors handed down to
him as sacred, Yom Kippur. Man.
ager Clymer Of the Bisons left the
decision entirely up to Andy, who
began his faithful observance of the
day yesterday at sundown.
Toledo Players Confident
Already lingering the winners
share of the players pool Of about
81 100 each, the Toledo players went
into today's fray with added con-
fidence that Emilio Palmero, one of
the best southpaws in the association,
would be able again to turn back
the Bisons nd wind up the series.
Jess Barnes scored his second vic
tory Of the series yesterday when
Toledo won, 3 to 2.
The Buffalo pitching choice is un-
decided yet, resting between Profit,
who scored Buffalo's only victory
last Sunday, and Hollingsworth.
The gross receipts, exclusive OF
war tax for the five games in which
the players share, was $68,876.4O and
the players divide about Ga per cent
of this, or $26,448.53 to the winning
club and $18,532.36 to the losing
club. Each club will split its purse
into about % full shares. The Sat

SCOTCH HOME RULE

The question of selfgovernment for Scotland, after
the manner of Ireland Canada, is up again. The
latest of many home rule bills is introduced in the Brit
ish Parliament by Glasgow member backed by a
group of Scottish labor members.
This measure is thorough-gong Scotland would
have parliament of its own with 14S members, and
withdraw from the British Parliament. 1t would be
linked to the Empire only through the foreign office
and the military establishment, having its post
its taxation system and treasury
Efforts in this direction to be expected after
Ireland given autonomy. 1t would be far
serious blow to England if Scotland were divorced
from her.
Fortunately for Great Britain there no such like
hood. Scotland has been too long integral part of
the Kingdom and played too big part in the Empire.
Fortunately for Scotland too. The Scotch seem to
have much self-governnlent now as the English
have and section of the government any par
tcular time is likely to show Scotland governing
England England governing Scotland.

TIE DENVER CONFERENCE

IF at first you don't succeed try again.
The old question might be applied to the Denver con-
ference which for the second time has "ad dourned"
for breathing spell and the opportunity to grid up
its collective oins for another try at the Colorado
river problem.
Although on the surface the second session of the
conference did not accomplish much the fact that it
did not breakup altogether, possibly with outspoken
anlmoslty among the delegates indicates that there is
still chance for the states to get together
this important question.
The next session is to start November Z, Just
month before congress convenes. Possibly the dele
gates get together in that month"; and reach some
sort Of agreement that will strengthen the position of
the SwingJ Johnson bill when up before
gress.
While there is little to feel too optimistic
about the course pursued at Denver, there also
necessity for considering it a waste of time and
effort. The delegates willing to try again, and
supporters of the Swing-Johnson bill wish them bet
ter luck next time

oations of the California Seed Act.
Numerous complaints regarding the
quality of seed sold in the valley

make a thorough check of all places
in the county where seed is sold.
Wilkinson is working in connection
with the horticultural department

! Several prosecutions have already

Wilkinson points out that under
/ the state seed act of 1921, it is re-
| quircd that anyone selling seed place
label on such seed giving state
ment of its quality.> The three i'm
! portant facts regarding the quality
are the percentage of impure seed,
! the percentage of pure seed, and the
percentage of weed seed. The germ
mating ability of the seed should al
sc be given, and any noxious weed
seed contained in the stock specified
by name.
! Prosecutions for having no label

by Wilkinson against several con-
Germs, and if the situation is not i'm
