ECONOMY RULES ADOPTED Senate KeiM Attempt to Give Ad juiniMratioii of Mothers Pen' fcion Act to School Boards. OLYMPIA. "Wash.. Keb. 20. (Special.) rndtr the eyea of a gallery repre sentation from all the women's wel fare organizations of the tate, the sen ate today resisted an attempt to place administration of the mothers' pension act la the hands of school boards in stead of county commissioners. The change was proposed In senate bill sponsored by Senators Wray and Hast ings. Alteration of the mothers' pension act was re Ms ted by the welfare orpaniza tions generally on a theory that it would turn disbursement of pension al Iowa net-s over to school teachers. Advocated for the change argued that hoot teachers had the best oppor tunity of observing whether children were properly clothed or fed and their Teports on these conditions to school boards would afford the quickest means of applying relief. Senator French took a reef out of this con tention by observing that the teachers would he. off the job three months in the year. Senator Loo mis supported a suKtrrstion to amend the present mothers pension act to allow its bene fits in cases of abandonment or im prison merit of a father and Senator ifall finished the new bill by moving its reference back to the judiciary committee for the substitution of "a new bill preserving the present pension act and providing for deserted chil dren. Appropriations Repeal Blocked. Before adjournment Senator Smith Introduced a bill applying the mothers pension provisions to wives abandoned one year who can satisfy, a judge they have made the required legal efforts to locate missing husbands and to compel support of the children. The present pensio act provides $15 per month for the first child under 16 and $10 each for others as to a total of $50. By quick work in the senate today action to repeal appropriations by which armories have been authorized iom Aberdeen, Walla Walla and Ever ett was delayed still further and prob ably blocked entirely. A point of order raised yesterday against repealing the appropriations acts on th ground that they have not yet become laws and cannot until !0 days af tr the session has adjourned,. was overruled by the judiciary com mittee, which action apparently opened the way for Immediate repeal of the Jhree appropriations, amounting to $325,000. if the economy forces had the vote. Hefore the economy forces could take advantage of the situation Senator Cornwall of Walla' Walla moved that tiie armory bills be referred back to the appropriaions committee pending final anion and the motion carried. Senator Smith of Kverett, one of those most In terested in sustaining the appropria tions, is chairman of the appropriations committee and now has the bills In his keeping, together with various other appropriations all senators are more or le&s interested in. Savins; of Millions Expected. While no official statement has been1 Issued as to results of Acting Gover nor Louis K. Hart's economy confer ence lat night with leading publishers i of the state, the acting governor today jaid he believed it would save the state several million dollars at least. It is understood this will be accom plished bv the newspapers' demands for only necessary appropriations. As the main appropriation pro gramme has been taken care of and the omnibus bill, carrying" the state's outlay of cash for the biennium nearly ready for submission, the lobby rowd has fallen into a pessimistic frame of mind and is beginning to dis integrate. As a result of legislative investiira- tion of the boy's training school at Che Jialis, two reports likely will be sub mitted. The house today passed the Increased automobile license bill which already had passed the senate amending it by exempting from license collection vehicles operated by state, county or municipalities for other use than carry ing passengers. Representative Hull of King, opposed the bill on a showing that of $2,000,000 revenue to be raised biennially truck owners will pay $427, 000 as compared to their total previous license cost of $182,000. The bill passed b ya vote of 76 to 14 and is ready for the acting governor's consideration. The senate receded from an amend- ment cutting a deficiency appropriation or .4.jt down to ---:. rne iuii amount now authorized represents t shortage in auto license department op era ting expense. Representative Phil S. Locke of Grays Harbor today introduced H. B. 2t7. des ignated to place logging companies under regulation by the puolic service commission. H. B. 26ti, introduced by the house insurance committee, is drawn to pro vide state police machinery expressly to cope with "arson ring" incendiarism, which sta,te authorities generally hav o combat periodically. The bill cre ates the office of state fire marshal, who is charged with the investigation of all fires for the particular purpose of detecting evidence of incendiarism and of carelessness. Authority to examine witnesses under oath and submit the evidence to prose cuting attorneys is provided. A penalty of $50 is fixed for resisting investiga tions by the fire marshal. His salary is left to the legislature. BIG VMS' UNION DUE SOLDIKRS ASKED TO WAIT UN TIL OVERSEAS MEN RETURN. Oregon Commander Says- Spanish War Veterans Have Vet Made No Affiliation. SALEM. Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) State department commander arvey Wells of the United Spanish war vet erans issued a statement today o the effect that the organization which he represents has no connection whatever with the United, American war vet erans, which has been made the sub let of investigation ty a committee in Portland. Mr. Wells warns scoldiers not to affiliate with any organization until the men are generally home from overseas and then to abide by their wishes. In a statement today, Mr. Wells said: Veterans of all wars are on the eve of a friffantic organization which will be interna- lonal, if nut world-wide, in Its scone and will embrace the veterans of all the wars in which the Lnlted btajea has participated. ilea an organization In the United States lone will have a membership of upwards of 4.000,000. It will embrace the Veterans in civil, Indian, Spanish-American, China relief expedition and the present world's campaigns at arms. They will represent he highest ideals of Americanism and good tizenship and will wield a tremendous power for good government. The tirand Army or tne Hubiic and the nited Spanish War Veterans have exer- ised a great influence for good during their existence. It is presumed that many of the urviving members of these two patriotic organizations will join in the membership of the major organization, yet to be founded, but there is no inclination or likelihood of the dtwbandmnt of thefe organizations. Taken all in the all. however, they stand iHdivldually and collectively for the protec tion and upholding of the principles of free dom, humanity and justice for which they have wrought and must be reckoned with in all future matters along the lines of re construction and rehabilitation in prospect , for the nation. SOLOWS IS DEFEATED Argument That Experience Is Aid Fails in Idaho. ANNEXATION MOVE LOSES Measure Inrtodnced to Create Sen 's ate Commission for Legali .' zation of Boxing. BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 20. (Special.) Refusal of the house of representative to pass an amendment to the constitu tion to lengthen, representatives' terms of office to four years, efforts to block a general county division enabling act to remove from the legislature tne problem of creating- additional new counties, the recommenaation by the senate that there be created in Idaho state constabulaary and the intro duction of a bill to create a senate com mission in that body to legalize box ing, were the outstanding moves in the legislature today. Experience Argument l"sed. The term legislative resolution re ouires a two-thirds vote to pass. A majority voted for the measure. In attacking the resolution one member declared he would not be mean enough to force a second term in the legisla ture o nany one. The argument for the measure was that more experienced en would make the states laws.' No bills were introduced in the house as Wednesday was the 45th and last day allowed for doing so, except from committee or by unanimous consent. The state affairs committee modified its report on the feeble-minded in stitute at Nampa. Wednesday it rec ommended that no appropriation be made for the institution. Today it recommended that no appropriation be made for new buildings only, but that funds for maintenance be allowed. An effort to have all reference to the sanitarium stricken from the report failed. Annexation In Defeated. A lively fight took place in the house 'over the defeat of the Nash bill pro- nosing an enabling act to permit rest dents in a portion of Ida county to be annexed to Franklin county. Hon son of Franklin county, championed the bill declaring all the residents in the territory were anxious for the an nexation. Hall of Oneida, charged there was a "nigger in the woodpile' and said all Franklin county wanted was part of Oneida county s forest re serve. He said Oneida county had been cut up until it had eight children and many grand children, but Franklin, one of them, had been the "hardest kid of them all to wean." The bill was defeated by a vote of 27 to 24. One of the oddest of Jails is at Clif ton, Ariz., which lies in an important copper region. This jail comprises four large apartments hewn in tne side or hill of solid quartz. The entrance in a boxlike vestibile built of heavy asonry and the gates have three sets of steel bars. fete rrr.T iii i mm n fflM liliji RHEUMATISM Mustarine Subdues the Inflam mation and Eases the Sore ness Quicker Than Any thing Else on Earth.

OTIOX picture schools of acting and playwrlting are finding; con dition exceedingly adverse to the successful disposal of their ques tionable wares these days, and aspiring players and authors have had emJugh advice to cure them of a profitless" and often costly experiment. But the schools do flourish in Los Angeles, the center of the film-producing world, as well as in other cities, which is re sponsible for the comments of a Los Angeles observer, who writes under the -name of lino gene Levore. "Girls, don't be deceived by these whool announcements purporting to teach you how to become movi act-res-ses," advises Miss Devore. "They're as impoible as the mail order institutions professing to teach you how to write successful plays for niovteland. It is a grand old scheme in this town to take your money for tuition and then give you a 'course in the art of motion picture acting. All is grist that comes to the mills of these sharks. The domestic hands over her money in return for fair promises as readily as girls in higher walks of life. "You would be surprised if you could visit some of these so-called schools. The enrollment embraces the high and the low, the rich and the poor. The society lady with a husband and five children seemingly is just as anxious to become a movie sta as the next one. The schools play no favorites. They put 'em all through a certain line of work and then inform the victims that they are ready to accept employ ment at any movie studio.' Of course.! it is up to the graduate to get the employment. "To you girlies who are ambitious to become movie actresses, I would say, don't. The woods are full of movie actresses, real and near. Every studio has a long waiting list composed of those experienced in both dramatic and motion picture work, and what chance has the lone amateur against such ex perienced competition? It has become an uncertain life, too. Directors are engaging by the picture these days, and the halcyon period of stock com panies and long-time contracts has gone by.' Screen Gossip. G. E.
