Rules Governing Procedure of British ^ ' House, of Commons- Will Have to Be Radically Revised to w' Fit New Times. Members of the British house of commons stand self-accused, and women are beginning to understand why i - there was so much opposition on the question of their being allowed to sit in parliament. "The bouse of commons is not a fit and proper place for respectable women to sit in," said Sir Hedworth Meux, making a speech in rega/d to the prok "osal. "I .oppose this resolution," he 1 ntinued, "not because I do not love A e female sex, but because I adore A bmen. But is it a proper thing for ^oraen to be sitting here until 11 o'clock at night? When we sit until | v 2 anr$7 in the morning the historic cry * KrvrwnV wtl) Y\??ff\ir\?? 4WHA VI f? 11U gvra 1IV11IC i nm utwun. Hi?v r will take me home?'" In the future the big strangers' gallery will be open,to women, as well as men, but the ladies' gallery will still continue to be restricted to the exclusive use v of women, so that whatever of privileged sex position still remains in oarliament will be to the advantage I <>f the gentle sex. Thus are the tables I i turned. I / Many amusing queries are being put Iwto perplexed politicians. The concenIMferated wisdom of a thousand years made rules, and the rules have for men only. HE One thing that becomes a problem Jpis the etiquette of the hat. A rule in I this connection is that if a member wishes to address the house he must I remain "uncovered/' Male members I now have visions of the new woman I member standing up and removing her I latest Paris creation. Of necessity she I mmst have a mirror to arrange her I disheveled locks. Another point of etiquette decrees that when rising to speak in debate the member must be "covered." Will p she in her hurry grab the hat off the Iueaa 01 me nearest victim su as iu uc in order? The hat problem becomes more and ^re complicated as matters proceed. When a member is ivferred 10 in a ppeech by another member?especially in the case of a compliment from a minister (and tbo male members gloomily foresee that women will'get the lion's share of . these)?he acknowledges it by raising his hat. liy the time the female member has finished wrestling with hali* a dozen hatpins tlie minister will be through wiih his / GH'S best values to be foi monstrate our willing v. applies to every depa g Skirts in a Wide yjj, Styles- On, ese wonderful new son s pecial groups.

The phrase "gone west," used' so mwh during the war, is not^a new one in the language of the Maori, though he does not say it quite in that way. The Maori religion provides no such place as hell. A person gets his or her deserts in this life and afterward ?roes bv "the broad nath of | Tane," i. e., the track of the setting ! J sun, to a huge meeting place where I i are gathered the souls of all the de- i I parted. There they will wait till mem- | hers of all the tribes and hapus and j families who are still on earth have joined them; when all will move on fo whichever heaven they are bidden to go. There are 12 heavens in the Maori's mythology. And the course which leads to any of them is the west. Quinoa Substitute for Wheat. There has* long been cultivated on j the west coast of South America ?* } plant called "quinoa," which botanists j | and eeral experts believe may prove an i excellent substitute for wheat, in fact | preferable to the substitutes no\r in j use, says the November Popular MeI chanics Magazine. This plant, now at- j ! tractinir oarticular attention because ! of the shortage of foodstuffs, has been cultivated in South America in more or less primitive fashion, since preTnea days. The department of agriculture has imported several lots of j auinoa seed and seed of related spe- j cies, and is making experiments with It in the hope of finding suitable soil and climate in this country for its cultivation. ?

"Judge, he hasn't worked for about six months," testified an elderly woman in an Indianapolis court recently. She was testifying against her son, age seventeen, who had been arrested on a charge of vagrancy. "How does he spend his leisure j Mrrni?" tha nrr?sonntnr_ tllilV V*?V "Sleeping," was the reply. When the boy took the stand he denied that he had been out of employment for six months and said his mother had erred as to the length of time, as the last work he did was1 "about four and one-half months ago,." "How many hours a day do you sleep?" asked Judge Pritchard, to which the defendant replied that he didn't sleep all the time, but just when he felt like it. "Eveiv been in jail?" said the judge. "No." ! Avell, they have regular hours over there and I believe regular hours plus a few days' work on the roads will do you good. T will fine you $15 and costs, and you can pay it out in jail." i No Wonder. At a recent county institute in Indi-' ana one of the teachers made an an-, nouncement.

Perigeliy, hand-. writing expert in a recent paper, of- c fers some valuable advice in the draw- . ing of checks. His first suggestion is to. take enough time for the process to be sure of doing a good job.^ In filling In the space for the amount itf numerals, write in legible figures, beginning close to the printed dollar mark; don't lefcve space for the insertion of another figure. Then write the amount in words, preferably beginning with a capital, at the left-hand end of the line; don't write it so that the amount stands in the middle of the line; hav ing written the amount properly, draw a heavy line from the last letter to the word "Dollars" at the right. As he says, "block the words in" so that additions cannot be easily made either at the beginning or at the end. When ine words are written cieariy ana witn an initial of unmistakable identity, the check-raiser has little opportunity for his work. Another safeguard Mr. Pengelly suggests is the writing of the amount of the check, either in figures or words, in red ink, above or within the signature at the bottom. In his experience he has found this to be a successful safeguard against fraud. But the all-important things are legibility of handwriting and proper location of the written amounts. Don't be in a hurry in writing a check. It is a haste that makes trouble,?Columbus J)ispatch. LIKE OTHER ORIENTAL TOWNS JoDna Since Earliest Historv Has Been More or Les? the Plaything of Conquerors. In the tribute lists of Thothmes III. king of Egypt, who held his court on the banks of the Nile, some 1500 years before the Christian era, there figured the town of Joppa.
