WORLD LEAGUE IS
DO NG GOOD WORK
Washington. Nov. Z. r (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF TflE JOURNAL)-
One of the organizations of
the League of Nations which Is rap
idly taking, its place as a-' force in
the world is the International labor
- conference, designed to rectify some
of the conditions which in the
United States would not be toler
ated and which vitally affects the
flow of labor and the production of
goods that compete with the things
produced by the ' labor, of this
country.
r rresidenySfAWand of France rot long
,Hgo - desgjbed the international Jabor
office as "one of the crowning compen
sations of the war," and .said it could
do much toward securing permanent
peace by drawing together all nations
for the purpose of considering legisla
tion for workers. '
1WO COXFEREXCES I
"This is accustoming men to submit
to reason," said M liter and. He declared
thaV the French democracy expect to
utand behind it and he regard it as
one of the instruments which- will serve
hn causa of neaco most Usefullv.
. 1 There was received in Washington re
cently te agenda, or subjects for dis
cussion, at the third: international Jabor
conference at Geneva next .April, at
iv which each country ' belonging to the
League, of Nations j will be entitled to
. four delegates, two selected by the gov
ernments, one by employers and one by
employes. Keports will then be received
as to progress i made on the proposals
submitted by the first conference, which
Mas held in Washington 10 months ago.
The second session was at Genoa, Italy,
last June. . - . ' t
SUBJECTS TO CONSIDER
The first subject for the next confer
ence is ithe 'rules governing the interna
tional labor office, which Is the execu
tive body,'.' i ."
The second subject comprises agricul
tural questions, dealing with hours of
work, unemployment and protection ox i
women and children: measures fori
technical .education, living conditions,
rights of : organisation, ! and ! protection
against accident, sickness and old age.
A third group of subjects includes
the disinfection of wood infected with
anthrax, and the prohibition of the
use of white lead in painting.
A fourth subject is provision for on
day' of rest in seven in industrial and
commercial "pursuifa, that day to be
Sunday when' practicable.
8EAH5'S PEOBLEMS ,
The fifth and final group of subjects
concerns employment of seamen,, deal
ing with the prohibition of employment
of any person under 18 years as a
stoker, and the compulsory examination
of all- children employed on ; shipboard.
The method of placing these matters
before the various governments is, first,
adoption by ' the conference by- a two
thirds vote, then i submission to the
governments either as a- proposed treaty
for ratification by each or as a sug
gestion for enactment of uniform laws.
If any nation fails to agree by either
of these methods it has no further ob
ligation. !
Early; Bird Waited
At Church Steps .
To Cast His Vote
La Grande. Nov. 3. Roscoe West, local
well driller, made a special a trip from
Athena to cast his ballot and was found
waiting on the steps of the church as
the election board of his precinct arrived
at 8 o'clock. He left on a train at 1 :25
a. m. - ' . ! .
Sheriff Warnick, Democrat, who lives
just across from the courthouse, where
the voting was on, thought he would be
the first voter, but found that 34 had
been ahead of him, and it i was only
about 8 -.45. . . :
The day was cold, clear i and cold
with fog last evening. '

ELECTION PASSES
WITHOUT NOISES,
WITHOUT SHOUTING
, By Marshall N. Dana
Surely the woman, with this the
first day of her sex legally pass
ported to the polls ef the nation,
would have something to say. , I
edged nearer, 'or -she was one of the
isolated few In the great, unnaturally
quiet crowd whose lips were mov
ing. "Why hurry home?" she was saying.
"It's a long time till 11 o'clock and we
don't have to get home until then."
Not! a word about the "great day of
sex emancipation. Not a jubilant note
for the privilege of marching with the
men to the voting places and there cast
ing perhaps decisive ballots for issues
that might sway the world. Possibly
voting,' a novelty to her sisters in other
states, had become a mere routine to her.
Perhaps that worried looking man over
there on the curb might have something
on his chest.
HAT HIS COlTCEBIf
He did. With the utmost solemnity he
was averring, "First thing In the morn
ing I'm going to call, up Neil and tell
him to get me that hat Yes," he added
fiercely. Til bet you another hat that'
I win the hat off of Nell." ,
Could you beat it! , With a watchful
world i worrying (as we had been re
peatedly told) about the vox populi of
America, here was a representative of an
election night crowd watching the re
turns to win a hat!
I went bewilderedly to Interview the
policeman who was shooing away the
automobiles at one of the street corners.
"I was niver so alsy on a job in all
me life," says he. "Iverybody moinds.
Nobody jostles or roughnecks. I don't
know ! which way. she's slippin' but I'm
afther1 tellin' you, young feller, that she's
movinf -on ball bearings well greased."
MEMORY HAS 50 DUPLICATE
There was a' memory covering elec
tion, at least as far back as Cleveland,
and la that memory the echo of shouts
and torch lights and not Infrequently vio
lent encounters. There was a memory of
campaign slogans and feudism and lines
of demarcation (hat readily became
lines of cleavage. But there was noth
ing in memory to duplicate the quietness
of Portland's election night crown. '
The silence might have been that of a
conscience stricken America. It might
have been America's hush, as she let the
world know what she had done on the
second day of November, in the year of
our Lord.,1920. Or it might have Been
a consciousness ' that the real problems
of America will not be solved toy an
election, but by the way Americana live
and think in the Immediate future. Or
it might have been apathy. .'-.
The crowd didn't tell. The crowd was
a'ephlnx.
Psychologist flas

University of Oregon, Eugene, Nov. 8.
Dr. H. Rl Crosland of the psychology
department of the university has pre
pared a series of tests to determine the
kind and frequency of optical illusions

was overburdened with a stock of merchandise. He came
to us and offered the lot at a mighty enticingly low price.
We knew 'the merchandise he had was the best the mar
ket affords, because we have handled it in our regular
stock for years. We made him an offer, going below
the -price he hid quoted, and to our great surprise T15
finally agreed to it.
--This lot contained" many duplicates of our regular
stock, therefore it devolved upon us to reduce our regu
lar stock accordingly and to the special purchase we
have added '
