LEAGUE APPROVES
ANT|-WCE REPORT
Resolution Asks Nations to
LegiSIate to Prevent
Traffic in Women.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September ia re.c--c-
zion recommending the abolition ! OF
licensed houses in all countries was
adopted by the League OF Nations AS
eembly today at session which took
up report on vice conditions.
Lord Cushendun, British delegate,
after presentation by two woman dele
gates of a report on traffic in women
and children. declared that the govern
ments should consider whether their
Jaws are sufficiently stringent to prevent
the commercializing and encouraging
Of vice.
Senator Racul Dandurand. Canadian
delegate, presented report on queS-
lions calculated to promote child well
fare The report was unanimously APP
proved.
Mrs. Wilson Present.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was among the
auditors at today's session.
There was also small sensation yes
terday due to a report that China might
resign from the League because she
had been denied reelection to the
council.
The report was that the Chinese
delegation had wired to the Nationalist
government at Marking advocating the
resignation.
The opium committee recommended
that the Philippine Islands be included
In the territory to be visited by the
proposed committee of experts which
would study in the Far East the ravages
of opium smoking and the background
of opium smuggling. There is still
some doubt as to whether the investi-
eating commission will be appointed.
Imposition to the project has been
based on the subject of expense.
Debate on Hague Court.
There was a spirited debate in an
other committee as to whether the
League council should seek the clarifi-
cation of the rules concerning advisory
opinions from the international Court
of Justice at The Hague. Many dele
gates believed that American adher-
ence to the court would be fastened
If the rules we're cleared up. The doubt
Is as to whether the council must vote
by majority or unanimously to obtain
such opinions.
The discussion showed that the great
powers were opposed to any action on
this matter They seemed to believe
that each case should be handled on
ITS merits and that only the most I'M
portant should require unanimity on
the part of the council. Switzerland
had proposed that a majority vote
would be sufficient. The United States
attitude Is that no opinion should be
rendered by the court on matters al
fecting American interests unless the
Washington Government consents.

CHINESE DESTROY IDOLS.
Temples Are Being Turned Int
Libraries and Museums.

CHENGCHOw. China (P.-Destruc-
ton of all idols in the temples as car
ried out by the authorities has caused
much resentment among the people
hereabouts. Theoretically, under the
new regime, there are no idols for pub
lie worship anywhere in Honan province
and large numbers have actually been
destroyed.
Many Of the temples have already
been converted into libraries or mu-
seums. The walls of these buildings
have been covered with posters and
pictures issued by the government
propaganda department, some being
anti-foreign and others anti-imperia-
Iistic. A great many of the posters
were designed with the view OF teach
ing hygiene, economy and other mat
tiers which might improve the home.

LOOKING GOOD

Burleigh county has q crop ma
turing as good as that Of 1927 and
in some localities better.
That is the verdict Of A. c. God
dard after q motor trip over the
county yesterday.
"Grain is king fine" Goddard
said today. "There is no rust. We
made careful examination in several
fields going down to low land,
where the growth was particularly
lush, but found no traces Of rust.
Corn is . bit backward because wet
weather prevented getting into the
fields to cultivate, but rye is gener-
ally looking good. Burleigh county
has a good crop coming on, as good
if not better than that. of 1927"
