Suffrage Movement
 Gains in Bulgaria

SOFIA, Jan. 29-The move ment for extending universal suf- frage to women in Bulgaria is now so advanced that at the next general election women will put as many candidates in the field as men.
 Women play prominent part in the public life of Bulgaria More than half of the Bulgarian school teachers are women. In the government departments most of the officials are women. Wom- en associations are organized along strictly American lines. There are public welfare organi- cations in almost every city and village.

TWO CASES OF SMALLPOX ARE
 FOUND DL0CALLY
Health Officer Announces Existence of Smallpox
 in the Community

The existence of two cases of smallpox in this community was made known today in an official announcement made by Dr. H. C. DeVighne, Territorial Health Com. missioner and City Health Officer Those affected are Kenneth Kim brough and F. B. Smith.
 Both men are under the care of physicians at the Kimbrough home on Twelfth Street. They have been ill and receiving treatment for about one week, but it was not until last evening that the illness was definitely pronounced to be smallpox. Dr. DeVighne said.
 So far as could be learned, he added, these are the only cases in the city. Every possible precau- ton is being taken to prevent ita spread, but it was admitted that there was a chance that other cases might develop as a number of visitors were received at the Kimbrough home during the past several days and were in contact with the patients.
 All of the direct contacts, Dr. DeVighne said, have already been vaccinated and will be carefully observed. The Kimbrough resi- dence has been quarantined and both men isolated. To guard against ressible contingencies, the Health Commissioner advised that all persons not now vaccinated have that done at once. There is an abundance of fire s h vaccine points here for all needs.

Suffrage Seems Nearer
Just word here about these Japanese
ladies. One seldom meets them in the
course of social rounds such as we
have been making on our tour. But
they have a very active social life never
theless. and are rapidly coming out"
into political society. Many of them
are members of organizations. Some
are busy workers in charities. Some are
AFFILIATED with International movements.
There is in the air here a decided
futter of preparation for definite
"woman's movement" and I am in
clined to think that in the course of the
next decade the Japanese government
will find that 1t faces the question Of
suffrage.

works for the aid of the families OF
soldiers. They felt that 1t was a pity to
scrap the organization they had effected
so they went on with charitable enter
prises. At first they held their meet
ings," or sales, twice year, in the
Spring and in the Autumn. but after
the earthquake and fire, which precipi-
lated the most urgent charity necessity
Japan has ever felt. they met every day.
For an entire year they continued thus
in their daily endeavors to relieve the
sufferings of the stricken people of
Toxic. They then went on a weekly
basis, and that is the present status.
Posters Tell Of Results.
On the walls of the room-in the
home of one of the members-where
the weekly sale is held are posters which
state the results of the work of the club
during the past several years in terms
of donations to charities. In passing
let me say that the 1926 list includes
an item OF gift for the relief of the
sufferers from the Florida disaster of
that wear. / made a copy of the list
for 1928, as follows:
Ofukai creche, 300 yen: Toxic Y. W.
C. A, 100 yen: Kure Sailors Home, 200
yen: three leper hospitals. 200 yen each;
a leper home at Kusatan, 200 yen;
Garden Home at Nakano, 100 yen; set
Element house at Yurin-en, 800 yen; aid
of Korean girl students, 400 yen; Home
for Aged, 80 yen; free dispenSary, so
yen. That made total of 2 400 zen,
or approximately $3.50.
That may seem like small sum for
a whole years work But 1t is to be
remembered that this is only a small
group of women and that their resources
consist merely of a percentage of the
proceeds of the sales of the garments
brought to them for such disposition
If they got all that was received from
these sales they would be able to con-
duct a far longer list of charitable
donations, and in larger units.
These garments, many of them of the
highest quality of materials and the
finest workmanship. and all of them of
irresistible attractiveness, are brought
or sent for sale by ladies of the upper

however.
The luncheon was, as usual. a CASTRO

wonderfully here in Japan. After lunch
we went through the rooms and saw the
treasures of art and were guided into

at work painting small panels. Before
them were spread several of these little

souvenirs from this collection, thus made
for us almost literally while we waited.

square, went a fan. My panel shows a

Selection an Ordeal.
confess that the selection Of
kimonos ano haori coats for the home
folks was an ordeal which I could not
have passed but for the good advice
and the kindly guidance of Mrs. Neville.
1 had seen at the hotel some of the
purchases made by members of our
party from various sourceS-there are
numerous ways of conducting trade
here in Japan-and had marveled at
their temerity IN choosing. My own
case was an easy one, with such expert
aid.
1t is not for me to describe my pur-
chases. My hope is that they will prove
satisfactory to those for whom they are
intended / may add that one of the
most interesting items on the list of
possible acquisitions is the obi. or sash.
which forms SO important feature of
the dress of the japanese woman.
Sometimes these obi are quite as costly
as THE kimonos themselves. BY the
way, the word kimono, am told,
simply means garment" or Clothing"
1t has come to mean the flowing, vari-
colored dress that one instinctively
associates with Japan. 1t may be in
bright hues or in black. The black
style is called the haori coat, for either
men or women. 1t is distinguished by
the fact that on the shoulders and on
the back appears the small circle OF
individuality, the monogram or Sign"
of the house in white.
But as to the obi. They are not, OF
course, to be bought by Westerners for
use as sashes, for save in fancy dress
they would not be serviceable. They
are, however, useful as Grapes and run
ners" for tables. mantels and for walls.

BASE BALL PLAYER
GUILTY Of MURDER
Samuel "Red" Crane Faces
Prison Sentence for
Staying Girl.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the AScoclotcd FreSS.
HARRISBURG, Pa, September as
Samuel (Re0 Crane, one-time big
league ball player, today faced 10 to
20 years in jail for staying a girl for
whom he sacrificed his diamond career.
He was convicted last night OF muir
der In the second degree by a jury OF
four women and eight men for shooting
to death Miss Della Lyter in q hotel
room here when he found her in the
company Of John D. oren. a brick sales
man, who had Supplanted him IN the
girls affections. ..
Crane is also under indictment for
with q ukulele after the base ball player
had shot the girl.
The defense commended Crane was so
completely under the influence of liquor
at the time of the shooting that he did
not have normal control over his INTEL
1ect.
Crane In 1918 was with the Green's
boro club of the North Carolina League.
Later he played with the Philadelphia
Athletics, the Washington Senators,
Brooklyn and Cincinnati. In the minor
leagues he played with Richmond, Bal
timore, Buffalo, Reading, Seattle, Min
neapolis and indianapolis and became a
shortStop sensation in the. American
Association.
He played his last base ball in 1927
with the Reading International League
team. After the close of the season he
met Miss Lyter, and, he testified during
his trial, tore up his 1928 contract with
the Buffalo Internationals to remain
here with her.
