Men as Vain as Women, According to Photographer Man Who Has Snapped More Than 2,000 Famous Eng lishmen Says Lloyd - George Best Sitter. London, Feb. 10.—No longer need men smile smugly and derisively to themselves when they catch their womenfolk tldlvating and "making tip” before the mirror, for, in tlie opin ion of Walter Stonehani, who has photographed more than 2,000 famous I'rltlsh persons, from King George downwards, and altogether some 23, 000 others, mostly men, they are quite as vain as women. In a lecture «o the city of London branch of the T. M. C. A. he gave si me intersting And amusing dtoec dotes culled from his many years ex perience as a society photographer. "What would you think?" he asked his audience, "If you opened a dress ing room door one morning to find within the high officer whom you were about to photograph, standing in front of the mirror removing the curling pins from his mustache? "Men talk about their womenfolk ‘touching up,’ etc., but I can assure you that men are just as bad.” Referring to the famous people that he had photographed, Mr. Stoneham said that best of all sitters M-as Mr. Lloyd George. One must admit that his was the face of a genius. Although he has photographed over 25,000 persons, he had never come across two faces absolutely alike. American Who Saved Hundreds Is Honored Capt.

London, Feb. 10.—The Ku Klux Klan probably does not exist In Eng land, but It Is said to have been the Inspiration of a secret society which is reported to be flourishing In sea port towns. England’s counterpart nf^tlie Ku Klux Klan Is known as "The Secret League of the Lash." It is said to have been formed by Englishmen who have taken Into their own hands the punishment of those who qffend the moral laws. "The Secret League of the T.ash” Is most secret, but It Is reported that its purpose is to prevent men, not Of the white race, from mingling with white women. In Cardiff and other seaport towns, where men of all races come down from the sea, there has been a growing tendency on the part of women to forget the color line, and. In fact, there have been several scandals which have aroused the people of the country. Ignore Color line. In London the Investigation of Scotland Yard relative to alleged Bale of narcotics has led to many state ments which tend to show that the color line is not being strictly drawn. The English secret society which has taken It upon Itself to deal with offenses against the moral laws of the country and to establish Itself as an I Inter racial social arbiter is patterned after the Ku Klux Ivlan and has for ' its symbol a dagger surmounted by three •‘K's,” yet It la denied that this I organization has any connection with the Ku Klux Klan. Lodges of "The Secret League o/ the Lash" are said to have been es j tablished In London, Cardiff, New ! casle-on-Tyne, Liverpool, Swansea t and Glasgow. Offenders Punished. In several ports of England it is understood that "The Secret League of the Lash" has meted out punish ment to persons offending against its own codes, and several racial riots which have occurred in seaport towns may have been the result of action taken by the secret society. Thus far the operations of the se < ret society have been well covered, if It exists and is in operation as re ported. and it has not crossed the path of the government. Scotland Yard Is reported to be conducting an Inquiry Into the organization, — — Thousands of Wild Ducks Are Fed on Shelled Corn Joplin.

No Change Noted from Woman Vote KvciJJquor Issue Not Visibly Affected, Says Ohio Professor. Columbus, O., Feb. 10—Advent ol the woman voter has not charged p<v lltical conditions, according to Prof. Walter J. Khepafd, department of po litical science, Ohio State unverelty. ‘‘Ther is little or no perceptible difference evident so far In the char acter of the vote since the advent of the woman suffrage amendment," de clared I'rof. Shepard. • "Women do not vote differently from men, as they are subject to prac tically the same Influence* as th* men. They divide the Issues along lines similar to the males.” he con tinued. "Even on the liquor issue the ex pected did not happen. In Illinois, where it was possible to tabulate the women's vote, woman suffrage did not work to the advantage of the dry cause, at least to the extent that had been expected," said Prof. Shepard.
