But a New Race of Amazons Will Run the World By Logic 'brniESitEA Queekt or the Amazcns X QZJ&3 JOHSXZOXI W I A world where drudgery of everyday tasks is completely eliminated by the use of robots, an age when human intelligence has advanced so far that the now complicated Einstein theory will be discussed and understood in primary schools, and when 75 years "old" will be regarded the bloom of youth. According to Owen Johnson, famous norelist and author of the book "The Coming of the Amazons," that's the kind of world we'll have 2S0 years from now. But there's a catch to it. Mr. Johnson goes on to say that this wonderful world will be ruled by a new race of Amazons powerful women who will ran governments and industries. The man of this wonderful age wUI occupy t similar position to the clinging vine type of female which we now associate with the early Victorian era. And if man wants to avoid bis fate, says j Johnson, be'll have to do' away with wars; for they always relegate the male to the minority. Xew York. Nov. 14. Things are fast coming to a pretty pass for men. and for such women as prefer the world pretty much as it is, if the predictions of Owen Johnson, novel ist and cosmopolite, have any basis in fact. "If things keep on going as they are now." says Mr. Johnson, "it will take only 250 years to do away with war, solve punishment, and elim inate competition in business. By that time the average intelligence of students will be raised to the point where the despairs of mathematics in our day will be child's play; the Einstein theories, long since explod ed, will be taught in the primary schools as scientific curiosities, and communication with Mars and the other planets will be as common as the use of the telephone is with us. Work will be done by intelligent robots, and people will have leisure to live as they choose, while 75 years old will be the bloom of youth." All this sounds like the golden age? Yes . . . but there's a catch in it. If you're a man you won't have half as good a time as you do now. For Mr. Johnson says we are com ing to a new Age of "Woman. In his new novel of prophecy, "The Coming of the Amazons," Owen Johnson tells what he imagines women will do to men once they have a chance. The family gone, children raised in State nurseries, men will no longer even have the vote. Their place, they are told, is in the club, where they spend their hours beau- Cortes to Vote Upon Alfonso's Imprisonment Guilt Committee Urges life Term With All Property Seized A Number of Arrests Madrid Life imprisonment has been decreed against Alfonso, last of the Bourbons, who was indicted for high treason by the "guilt commit tee" of the Cortes, which presented the report Thursday. The supreme penalty, the report declares, should be demanded of a king who was responsible for disas ter to the Spanish arms In Morocco in 1921 in the war against the Riff chieftain. Abdel Krim, and who bears the burden of guilt for destruction n the country when a military coup d'etat placed Gen. Primo de Rivera in power two years later. In response to requests, however, the committee recommends Alfonso's penalty be commuted to life impris onment with confiscation of his pal aces, industrial stocks and personal property cf all kinds found on Span ish territory. All of the ex-King's holdings, it is proposed, will be said and the pro ceeds applied prefeiab'y to alteviat- tifying themselves for the marriage market, with women now in the strategic position. Mr. Johnson even goes so far as to visualize his bro ther of 250 years from now, beauti ful of figure and of complexion, launched into society much as a Park Avenue deb is today, while seven foot Amazons, relaxing from the work of running their purely logical government, pay him court and buy him Jewelry to indulge his "mascu line" frivolity. If these ideas of Owen Johnson seem too fantastic to be taken ser iously, it may be convincing if not exactly comforting to take a look backward. It has happened before. Once, men weren't even allowed to lire in an Amazonian society in Asia Mior, where once a year, to prevent their race dying out, the Amazons visited a neighboring tribe. The male children resulting from the visit were put to death or deported, while the female children were kept and train ed in welfare or agriculture. Am azons were found even as near home as South America 400 years ago. If men are to save themselves from this perpetual feminine role Mr, Johnson says they will have to do certain things very quickly, among them restrict the world population before it grows to a point where it must go to war to make room for it self again. For when men have de stroyed themselves by war, says the novelist, women will be here, ready to take things over, and then their day will come." ing distress caused "by' his immoral administrative policy." Not only Al fonso but his entire family are de prived of titles and dignities in the indictment which now has been voted on by the Cortes itself. After ward the sentence must be approved by the Government. Notification of the sentence is to be published throughout Spain and sent officially to all foreign nations. As it was not known that the docu ment was to be communicated to the House, only 100 deputies were present when it was read out. When the reading terminated there was loud applause. Meanwhile there have been a number of arrests Including Senor Jose Antonio de Rivera in connec tion with an alleged monarchist plot in the capital. It is officially ad mitted, however, that the charges are baseless and the son of the late dictator was liberated after a few hours confinement.

Wind and rain swept parts of Minnesota last night and early today, causing some prop erty damage and indirectly two deaths. Lester T. Gilbert. 37, Prior Lake, was killed by electricity as he touched a wire that was blown down.

D., had nine degrees above zero this fore noon. World-Herald. SNOW FALLS IN THE WEST San Francisco From southern California to the Arctic circle win ter, had laid an. ermine mantle over the western mountains that was ac companied by copious rainfall in the valleys and along much of the coast. A. yVv- Stevenson of Great- Falls, Mont., pilot for the National Parks airways, crashed west of Ogden, Utah, during a Minding snowstorm. He. escaped injuries, but his plane was badly damaged. Of the fifty or more persons tem porarily marooned' In the mountains of California, all had been rescued with the exception of four men at Echo Lake inn, in Eldorado county. These men may have to be rescued by airplane, but meanwhile it is Le lieved they have shelter and plenty to eat. Montana, Wyoming and Idaho shared in the snow, which ranged in those states from a few inches to over a foot. Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Utah shared In the rain. The Yukon river, in Yukon territory, 2.200 miles long, stopped running at 7:30 a. m., with the temperature at 27 degrees below zero. The main river and all tributaries are frozen solid and presumably will remain bo until next May." Ketchikan, Alaska, reported the coldest day of the year in southeastern Alaska, with a tem perature of 17 degrees above zero. GANDHI TALKS OVER SEA London Mahatma Gandhi talked across the Atlantic ocean over a tele phone for the first time in his life Tuesday. He bestowed his blessings on the American people and said he would visit them "in God's appointed time." He was hurrying to keep an ap pointment with Lady Astor when the phone rang and the operator an nounced that Chicago wa3 calling. The Rev. Fred Fisher, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church at Ann Arbor, Mich., and a former mis sionary 1n Calcutta, was on the line and he wanted to invited Gandhi to come to America. "But God has not yet cleared my way," the Indian leader said. "Be sides, I feel that nothing important hangs .on my going to America at present." Gandhi, heartened by a talk with Prime Minister MacDonald, recon sidered his decision to leave for In dia Thursday and agreed to remain until the round table conference ended. Lord Sankey, chairman of the conference, decided to prolong the session another week after sev eral delegates had protested that the views of the principal representatives must be heard before a constitution could be drafted for India. , HOOVER KIN WILL BE TRIED WITHOUT JURY Santa Monico, Cal., Not. 16.

Sioting afch at CEDAR GREEII SDriCAY, Nov. 22 Turkeys. Geese and Ducks Shells Sold on the Grounds Sheep Feeding in State About as Last Year Late In shipments Serve to Reduce ' Standard cf the Larger Ship ments of Summer. The number of sheep on feed in Nebraska November 1 was about equal to the number on feed a year ago according to E. V. Jones. Asst. Agr. Statistician. Reduced inship ments during October offset the large inshipments during the period July to September. Shipments into the twelve north central states for the period July to October inclusive, are considerably larger than during the same period in 1920. Shipments of sheep inspected through markets into Nebraska dur ing July and August this year were more than twice as large as those of a year ago and shipments during Sep tember were somewhat larger than those of last year but large reduc tions during October, usually a month of heavy shipments, offset the in creases shown in the early part of the season. Complete records for the period July to October are not yet available but present indications show the number on feed November 1 to be about equal to the number on feed November 1, 1930. Although Nebraska's corn and feed supplies are short, ' it appears that feeders hav maintained sheep feed ing operations and reduced cattle feeding operations. Operations in the Scottsbluff district of Nebraska have been on a reduced scale but this re duction has lieen offset by increases in the eastern sections of the state. Shipments, inspected through stock yards markets for the four months, July to October, into the north central states were about fif teen per cent or 250.000 head larger than for the corresponding period in 1930 and the largest for the period since 1926. Direct shipments from range states into the north central states during the four months were also larger this year tha nlast. Reports on the situation as it had developed in Colorado to the end of October indicate a volume of feeding in northern Colorado somewhat smaller than last year, a decrease In the Arkansas Valley of twenty-five per cent or more, and for the rest of the state a decrease of thirty to fifty per cent. NEBRASKA IN THIRD PLACE Kansas City The Tanbark arena was empty in deference to the Sab bath, but thousands of persons crowded the American Royal live stock and horse show, featured by announcement that Iowa State col lege had won the annual college live stock judging contest. Animal blue bloods from the far corners of the nation on exhibition greeted admir ers from an agricultural section will ing to give homage where homage is due. Officials of the show pointed to an approximate 20 percent increase in entries as evidence of the interest being shown in improved livestock. Iowa State, the judges announced, won the judging contest from four teen other colleges. Joseph R. Ca puto of Iowa State also won indivi dual honors. Second team honors went to Michigan State. Nebraska was third, Kansas State fourth, Oklahoma A and M., fifth, and Missouri sixth. Benjamin P. Franklin. University of Nebraska, won second high individual honors and John Falloon, University of Mis souri, won third. First honor in cattle judging went to R. C. Munson. Kansas State. Ern est Palmer, University of Minnesota, was high in judging of horses; Jus tin H. Doak of Missouri won the hog judging and Falloon could best ap praise the good and bad points of sheep.

HEADS OF RAILWAYS MEET Chicago Presidents of the na tion's western railroads met secretly in Chicago, reportedly to discuss rec ommendations concerning employ ment stabilization to be presented Thursday at a meeting in New York between labor leaders and represen tatives of the railroads. Railroad ex ecutives who attended Tuesday's meeting refused to divulge officially the reason for the conference, or even to tell where it was held. It has been reported, however, that several of the presidents would request that em ployes accept 10 percent wage reduc tions. Commenting on the stabilization project, E. D. Moore, general chair man of the Railroad Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers and secre tary of the Federation of Railway Shopmen on the North Western Line, said that shorter working hours and more pay is the only solution. He said that only 2,000 shopmen are employed on the North Western at present, compared with 12,000 in normal times. LIQUOR SYNDICATE TRIAL Peoria, HI.
