NO. oat JAPAN GOVERNMENT ORDERS 300 AIRPLANES FROM FRANCE PARIS, March 13.-Japan has placed orders in France for 300 airplanes, it was learned officially today. —s AS IT SEEMS TO ME NA SLEETH Y THE way, girls, here's a new name for that litte wad of hair you are tucking and wadding over your ears, It is a military title, probably brought back from the wars by some soldier gallant who had ex perience with the peasant girls in the occupation areas. The term is—cootie cages! that* nice? But, however silly these round wads of hair are, still they are an improvement on the spit curl of a few years back. And that reminds me of a true story that shows how expensive it ts to be fashionably up to the min ute. I know a woman who has enough hair on her head for all practical purposes—enough to give @ toe-hold to half a dozen hat pins, anyway. But last fall she decided that the new hair styles were too becoming to be passed by, and she d@idn't have hair enough of her Own, so she saved her combings, and saved, and saved: and picked up a nice remnant of hair here, and borrowed some yon, until she had enough for a very fine switch. And in time she got the switch, at considerable expense, and she Wore it downtown on a shopping Isn't And when she came home the Switch was in her hand bag, be- Cause the new hats fitted the head #0 closely that she couldn't wear ber new hair. So ail winter she alternated—one evening she wore the hat and left the new hair at home; the next revening she wore the new hair and left the hat at home. But it was ™ trying experience, and often she ‘would begin to worry in the mid die of 4 sermon, or a show, or something, whether it was the hair's turn or the hat's, because she has an eminently just disposi- tion, and she would never give el ther hair or hat the better of it if she knew it. I don't think a man has any troubles of that sort. Outside of Store teeth, he will usually be about what he seems. Of courre, there are wigs and toupees, but their wearers always insist that they sport them as a matter of pro- tection, and not at all to disguise their shortcomings, UT a man is in mighty poor business going pok ing fun at the vanities of women, because, in the first place, most of these outrageous fashions are devised by Men, and, in the second place, Women adopt them largely to please the men. The average husband will roar like the bull of Bashan if his wife @pends $20 on a hat, and also he will be ashamed to be seen with her if she doesn’t. ‘The average man will deride high-heeled shoes, and silk stock i | ings, and square-necked waists ) and then the son of a sea cook will i twist his neck nearly off admiring a the flappers who are decked out in these things, and will never notice a woman sensibly dressed. Not that women care to be stared at, but certainly they do not care to be overlooked, to be taken fas part of the landscape, like a stolid stump, or something. ts eee “ HE birds have a better * system. Among the 3 birds the male is the 4 fancy dresser. He does Bi the dressing and the vourting. He attracts the female by his fine manners, his wonderful voice, his beautiful feathers, and wooes her, and sits up nights sing- & to her on the newt. But we have divided our duties and have given to women the fine apparel, but to men the task of wooing. That's wrong. 1 don't say that the man should wear the fine elothes. Personally, I wouldn't care for French heels, rata, cor- sets, a lip stick, nor feathers on my bat But let the women do the courting, ays they now do the at tracting—return to the natural or- der and don't try to divide respon sibility, Vrom what I can see, leap year is working out very efficiently, and several young folks have started gas meters and electric irons go ing, with the girl doing the propos- Pj jf ia ing. Silly {dea that the man had to chase and club his bride into passivity; had to slip up on the blind side of her and get her when she wasn't looking. As if a girl wasn't always looking!

CASE MONTESANO JURORS DEBATING VERDI Wife Fights Court Martial Case Ends Late Last Seeks Freedom for Husband BY CLEM J. RANDAU GRAYS HARBOR COURT- HOUSE, Montesano, March 13.— Following the concluding session of the Centralia murder trial, which lasted far into the night, the jury today began deliberating on 4 possible verdict. An early agreement is not looked for today because of the large number of defendants in- volved. Three verdicts are powsible in all cases except that of Defendant Elmer Smith, who must either be found guilty of first degree murder or acquitted. | The others may be convicted of either first or se nd degree mur. der or found not guilty. Smith, Cen tralia attorney, was charged only as accessory before the fact. The case was finally submitted to the jury and A. R. Johnson, alter nate, excused from further service, | late last night, following a day of brilliant legal oratory The omission of a particular de mand of the state that the death penalty be inflicted was considered | significant, since the penalty is de termined by the jury qually | striking was the failure of the de fense counsel to play on the sympa |the wives of the accused men. | PROSECUTION ASKS FOR JUSTICE The final argument, given by | Prosecutor W. H. Abel, was a ring: | |ing appeal for canviction of all 10} | will be found guilty as charged.” Describing the present trial as one |of the most important cases in the | history of the country, Abel said the issue in the case was not as to who was the aggressor, but whether a conspiracy on the part of accused I. W. W. had been shown “Others besides Mrs. Grimm, the widow of Warren O. Grimm, who was ruthlessly murdered as a result | of the conspiracy of the defendants, are interested in this trial,” the pros- ecutor said: “Upon your verdict will |depend the right of Americans to protection from murderous, attacks. Shall we make the I. W. W. a shield | for murder?” A powerful | was made by derveer, who appeal for acquittal defense counsel Van. while admitting that | the accused men had armed them {selves and shot the soldiers, said that the men had only resisted a | felonious assault on their hall. | VANDERVE! FOR “ “The eyes of the on you today as t never will be again,” Vanderveer said. “The eyes of the people who are looking for the better and finer things are) looking to you.” Vanderveer took issue with Spe- cial Prosecutor Cunningham's asser- tion that a verdict for acquittal | | bor world are | | would in reality be the end of good | | fovernment in this country. ‘If, by your verdict, you stamp approval on raids on the halls of honest working men it will indeed be the defense counsel told the jury. A large part of the plea of the de- fense attorney was devoted to a discussion of the conditions existing | lin Centralia where, he said, the I. |W. W. had been denied protection jof the city authorities. He made a | powerful emotional appeal Based on the idea of “fair play for the under dog." Vand veer dwelt at len, alibi claimed by Defend: Barnett, Grimm Barnett, he contended, was clusively shown by the evidence of defense witnesses to ave been in the Roderick hotel when the state |claims he fired the fatal shot from | the Avalon hotel. | Altho a number of the defendants are married and several have large | | families no attempt was made to| | play on the sympathies of the jurors by mention of these interested parties. And only in two cases were relatives of the defendants called to | testify in their behalf, DEFENDANTS AGREED TO DEFEND HALL Altho he admitted that the defend. ants had agreed to defend their hall, Attorney Vanderveer claimed that they had a right to do so, At no time, hgwever, has he gone into the details"of the alleged plan which testimony showed included the sta- tioning of men in various places outside the hall.
