Wright, Wash. Among future plans of the de- partment is that of furnishing a course by correspondence during the winter months for those who attend the camps in summer, Win- ter training, in connection with the citizens’ military trainng camps, is now provided in law, but the de- mand has not as yet pushed it for-| ward to realization. Captain C, C. .Lowe, who is ac- tively military training camp movement, has on file letters from various parts | of the country, the great majority | of which are complementary to summer training. A group of wom- en's clubs, which had an impres- slon that the camps might be mili- taristic, conducted an investigation resulting in the statement that “for he first time in history, he United | States has a sane national defense policy.” The American Federation of | Labor, at its ElI Paso convention, | endorsed thé “C. M. T. C.” pro- gram. The natlon’s average enrollment for.the training camps in 194 was one man for each 3,225 of popula- | tion! Requests for Souvenir Coins Flood U. S.

All of the coins will be delivered to the association, which will use the proceeds of the | saleg, above the half dollar's value, to aid in completing the memorial. War Neglect Threatens Famous Ulm Cathedral Ulm, Jan, 80.—The cathedral of Ulm, thedral the largest Gothic house of worship in Germany, is in grave danger of collapse unless the struc- ture can be braced and certain parts replaced, The edifice was neglected during the war, the revolution, and the period of inflation. Ulm cathedral, which is capable of holding 80,000 people, was begun in 1377 and the work was carried on at intervals till the 16th century. It was by no means completed then, but for several centuries was left in its unfinshed state. Work was re- sumed in 1844 and completed in 1890, Germany, MACKAY &WALLIN 63 MAIN STREET Next to Methodist Church Specials Taken From Qur January Clearance identifled with the cltizens' | 80.——W¥h the | next to Cologne ca- | VETS WANT ADDITIONS Make Recommendations For a Hos- pitalization Program To Provide More Beds for Disabled Soldlers ‘Washington, Jan, 30—Recommen- gram to provide 6,166 additional beds for soldler veteran patients, based upon a survey of the varlous locality needs throughout the coun- try, have been presented Presi- dent Coolidge by the disabled Am- erican veterans, Frank J, Irwln, natlonal com- | mander of the disabled veterans, in {outlining the program today, sald it also contemplated removal of fire hazards at many institutions where veterns are patients.

England Respends Slowly To Pleas for Cremation London, Jan, 30.—Tt is the task of the Cremation society to popularize s making slow progress. In the past year there were only 1,986 créma- tions in Great Britain. The argument the society adyances is that musty, dirty, crowded Britain is no place for the final abode of the body, and that the country could | be made beautiful by handsome masoleums Instead of open spaces lin the citics being taken from the | living in for the use of the dead.

The whip-women are among the picturesque denizens that go along with this most ple- turesque market square, and for the last 300 years an unbroken line of members of thelr familles have checked the whips of the produce growers ‘who frequent this market. This concession of whip check- ing, which has supported many | familles, for so long a time, was | granted to six ancestors of the pres- | ent- day whip-women in the six- teenth century when Covent Gar- den was really a convent garden of the Monks of Westminster, outside which the farmers brought their garden truck to sell, In that cen- tury half a dozen whip-women took | charge of the whips of the farmers to keep them from the hands of thieves, and collected a penny from the owner at the end of the day. | The number of whip-women has grown to 12 because some women !left their share of the concession [to two daughters, buf even though the price of checking whips I8 now | three pence, the whip-women of to- day cannot make a living, they say. The women decided recently to ask the authorities to grant them the right to ask sixpence for their }cus{o«nannhm but the authorities | refused. At a meeting they decided to let the whip thieves have the up- per hand, Shortly the familiar figures of the | whip-women will disappear from Covent Garden just as the horse and the street criers have disappeared, |and in their place will be several | bobbles who are to be assigned to look after the safety of the whips. JAPANESE NOBLES - MAYLOSE POWER | Reform Bill Would Reduce Au- thority of House of Peers Tokio, Jan. 30,.—THhe reform of the House of, Peers probably will be the | most important problem to come be- | !fore the Diet at its impending ses- slon. The reform bill probably will | come up in March and, aceording to | the Japanese press, may create the | gravest crisis that the coalition gov- | ernment has faced. : At present the House of Peers has | virtual control of the Diet and can | block the lower house on any point | A change in the powers of the two houses will be attempted. The essen- tial objective, however, s a change in the manner in which the member- | ship of the upper bedy is selected. | At present half the members hold | oftice by hereditary right, and the other half is equally divided between | those appointed for life by the em- | peror and those elected by large | property owners. The propnsed re- form contemplates the reduction of the first half to about one third of | the membership, to be elected by | peers from among their ranks, and | reduces the imperial appointees to | the same number but for terms of | |only seven years. The | seats would be elective. remaining | Sale On Sale Tomorrow 8-Plece Living Room Suite—Cushion covered, | on both sides, Upholstered in attractive Baker's Cut Velour, Special at 4-Plece Walnut Bed Room Dresser. and Chifforette.
