The Slate Highway commission, since 1917, has lifted the leet

onto a network of continually expanding pavements to the tune of
approximately $392,000,000.
This pavement has been built out of a magic mixture of ladips
lipsticks, cosmetics, jewels, mink coats, whisky, gin, gasoline and

leaden to their noble efforts,
The great political purge, t h e
great revitalizing of Ihe whole
American governmental process
which giving the vote to women
was supposed to produce never
materialized. It has turned out
that women really' don't give
much of a hoot about voting. I'
they do get around to It, It's us

The great social and economic
liberation which political free

the gals has been Ihe other way
around. What little political I n

at first. And those freedoms have
been won more by auch crusad

League Sounds Tocsin
The exceptions such as Mar
garet Chase Smith and Helen (ia
nagan Douglas have been too
rare over the years to prove any
thing except their rarity.
Proof of all this can he found
In the big new program of the
League of Women Voters which
has Just been launched here. A
spokesman for the league calls
it, "the most ambitious drive
this organization has ever under
taken. The official announce
ment explains It as "a series of
eleven regional conferences t o
train leaders of the league 1 n
ways to arouse women voters to
accept party responsibility."
Miss Anna Lord Strauss, nat
ional president of the league,
sounds the following keynote:
"The connecting link between
you and your government offic
ials Is the political party. High
government oflicials will makp
the final decisions on problems
of peace and prosperity, but it
is the political party that deter
mines who these officials shall
be. Vou can take an active part
in the political party If you wish.
'Politics is everybody's busin
ess'." The big excuse that the league
gives today for women failing to
lake a significant place In U. S.
politics Is that It's Ju.it too tough
Jor them to get started In the
game. This drive, apparently. Is
to cure that by showing them
how to get started.
A pamphlet called "What's the
U. S. to Vou? a Quiz." Is to he
the Bible and guide of the lea
gue's drive. The publication is
unique In that none of the ques
thins are supposed to be so chal
lenging to the female mind that
they send the reader off In hot
chase for the answers. Then

Plea Of Insanity
Made For Slayer
OGDE.V, Utah. Oct. 12. (.Pi
Richard Dix Pack of Pocatello.
Idaho, Monday pleaded Innocent
by reason of insanity to first de
tree murder charges.
His attorney, Wade Johnson,

ed Pack and found him Insane.
Pack is accused of the slaying
of Shirley V. Scott. 29. Scat lie.
whose nude body was found In a
cheap hotel closet Aug. 19. She
had been strangled.
"We are not going to prove he
ia so Insane that he doesn't un
derstand what ia going on in this
court," Johnson said, "but we
are going to prove that his men
tality Is such that he could not
have premeditated this crime."
Johnson added that he was pre
pared to withdraw the innocent
plea If the charge were reduced
to second degree murder. He fur
ther requested that the court
name two alienists to examine
Pack and that a sanity hearing
be scheduled as soon as they pre
pare their report.
