votes Of the 435 members almost in

A sub-committee of
the rules committee has outlined a
feasible plan which has the approval
of Speaker Clark and Majority Loader
Underwood.
The proposal for a voting machine
was made by Representative Walsh, of
New Jersey, an expert in electrical
appliances.
Rollcall in the house now requires
45 minutes, and is tesorted to when a
filibuster is declared by the minority.
The new scheme would eliminate this
from legislative procedure.
The sub

Will Serve Loganberries
On S. P. Dining Cars
Salem—A. B. Simon, head of the
commissary department of the South
ern Pacific company, has notified the
Salem Commercial club that he will
serve loganberries in the dining cars
of the company the coming season.
He said that he had frequently
heard the berries praised and had
thought for some time of giving them
a trial. The announcement, the dub
officials believe, solves the problem of
obtaining an adequate market for the
fruit A much larger acreage than
ever before has been planted to berries
in this county this year, and there was
fear that the growers would suffsr for
lack of demand.
Mr. Simon said he would give the
dried as well an the fresh berries a
trial on the dining cars.
Fred 8.
By non, secretary of the Commercial
club, sent him a 25-pound box of the
i dried berries for trial.
Fashions Play Havoc
With Health of Giris
San Francisco —• Mrs. William E.
Magee, head of the women’s depart
ment of physical education at the Uni
versity of California, was emphatic In
saying that the physical training of
women is neglected to an appalling de
gree, and that the dictates of fashion
are destroying the old ideal of wo
manly grace.
Other Instructors of the department
concur in thia opinion.
“Five out of every six women en
tering the university,*' said Mrs. Ma
gee, “when examined thia year were
found to be allllcted with flat feet or
broken arches. This Is due directly to
the high-heel shoes which fashion do-
erees.
«
“Last year we had an epidemic of
deranged internal organa, cauaed by
tight lacing.
“Curvature of the apiñe la common,
and, while it could be easily prevented
by exercise and aenaible dressing, it
takes a year to correct even a minor
case.
“Girls coming to the university to
day show a decided increase in such
deformities as crooked necks, crooked
spines, round shoulders and flat cheats.
AU of these are imputed at once to the
slouchy pose which is fashionable.
The new way in which women have to
stand to tie fashionable is dangerous to
their health."
