FEW WOMENJFILE TAX LISTS Only Fifty Out of Fifteen Hundred Hare Replied. - MAY SEND THEM IN BY MAIL t'oaatr Aeaesaor Cvasmaa Estrada tfce Tlaae Oa rk to Acoom not( Thow Who Might Wilt to Vote. Brcauae only fifty out of fifteen hun dred women who received personal prop erty assessment UaU have returned these lists to the county assessor's office signed, qualifying them to vote for Board of Education candidates. County As sessor Harry Counsman haa extended the time for closing the lists for one week. "Several hundred ought to have signed the lists," said Mr. Counsman. "I sup pose ffley will, if given time. I can very well keep the lists open for another week." These Jlsts are for women who have no property scheduled .for assessment, nor children of srhool age. If a woman has property In her name on the tax books, or has children of srhool age, an oath to thta effect before the election board on election day entitles her to vote. Moat He Over Fifty The county assessor haa refused to ' Wept any personal property lists below $50. The, women who hava "signed up" generally list their "Jewelry, silver, etc.," as valued at M These lists will go on the tax booka for the coming year and a state and county levy will be made against the property. Committees from women's clubs and slate-making organisations secured a large number of these lists and distrlb lted them, but of the fifty returned to the county assessor's office the majority came from women who had no knowl edge of the slate-makers' campaigning. Mr. Counsman has arranged to accept these lists by mall during the week. He believes this will help soma women to the ballot who may not have time to gv to the court house and preoara a list. Bossie May Take Bad Milk Cases to the Justice Courts Failure to secure convictions of violators of the city pure milk ordinance haa prompted Dairy Inspector Claude Bossie to abandon rollce court complaints and appeal to the state for aid. "We cannot suspend or revoke permits to sell milk until we have secured three convictions In police court," said Boasts. "We can't secure these convictions. Some of the dairymen are selling rotten milk and we can't stop It because the police Judga refuses to convict." The health department would pour the bad tnilk In the street If possible, said Inspector Bossie, but samples must first be taken and examined by the city bacteriologist. Mr. Bossie may secure a commission from the state and Btart prosecutions in Justice court Enrollment of the Public Schools is Showing Big Gain Enrollment in th. public schools has Bhown an Increase of 1,344 over the records of two years ago.

Tin Whistles Are Spreading Disease in Public Schools Tin wlstles are spreading diphtheria In schools, according to Pr. Millard Iang feld, city bacteriologist, who, after in vestigation, finds that hundreds of whistles with tubes leading from the nos trils to the mouth are used by children and then "tried out" by other children. "This la simply horrible," said lr. Tngfeld. "The authorities ought to pre vent the sale cf such Instruments. My son bought one of them and when I In vestigated and found that some times one of these whistles would be Mown by a dorcn youngsters." tr. Iangfeld said these whistles are the most certain way of spreading diph theria. A second case of diphtheria In the Clolrt ateln home, 1107 Pouglaa street, has been reported to the city health department. Helen Tetera, 8 years old, Forty-first and Pratt streets, Is also III of diphtheria. Physicians are acting promptly In all diphtheria cases and a large amount of anti-toxin Is being used because the dis ease is appearing In its most virulent form. The health commissioner Is warning parents to call In a physician at the first symptoms of diphtheria. More Trouble for Peters Family, with Oldest Daughter 111 Trouble always comes In great big bunches for Mrs. Henry Peters, Forty first and Pratt streets, widow of the man who by Jumping Into the river ridded himself of his family burden. Mrs. Peters' latest grief is caused by her oldest child, a girl 7 years old, who Is now ill with diphtheria. The young ster was taken down yesterday and is in a critical condition. . The plight of Mrs. Peters Is a particu larly sad one. When her husband took hia own Ufa the eef, rendered a n00 In surance policy void, and his wife and six children were penniless. In poor health and in need of iood. Inside of a week the stork brought another Infant Neigh bors and kind-hearted oitiaons who read of Mrs. Peters' predicament rallied to her support, but only temporary relief was given. One misfortune followed another for the little widow who Is making such- a hard fight for existence, and trouble seems to be keeping up. There la a "Un. Peters' fund" at the City National bank, where a nucleus for a home waa started for her, but this fund la attll far to small, since from time to time it must be depleted in order for Mrs. Peters and her family of Infants to exist The Busy Bees Kl.N'Q AK-SA1!

On Its banks an) the ruins of beautiful castlea and vineyards. Be tween Blngen and Coblenx tho river Is very narrow and deep. There are many cliffs ther In th Rhine. The hlgheHt cliff Is called th Urel( cliff. I'mler this cliff thr was said to bo lung ago a caxtlo made of pur glass. In this casllo ther lived a water nymph called I.orelel. Lorelei came out at night wh-n the moon was shining brightly and ullnihed the Lorelei rock. She had a comb of gold set with Jewels. While she was combing her hair she would sing the most wonderful song. The other water nymphs could enjoy the beauty of tho song. Many fishermen would come to listen to her beautiful song and would forget where they were, for what they cam snd all their relations very soon. Once bold young flHherman resolved, that ho wanted to sec the Lorelei or die In the attempt. , Ha scgled the rock and titer was Lorelei, more beautiful than he ever dreamed.. She held out her bands In welcome. She told him about the se crets of the !lilne, and on night he did not come back;. They dragged the river, but they did not find his body, but Lorelei pang her wonderful song long after thut. Prince Lndwig came next to see the I.orelel. lie forgot himself and eriilied against a ruck. He foil into the water and drowned. He was th only son of thu Count Pulatlne. When Palatine heard of the death of his son he sent four brave men to kill the Lorelei. He was) very angry. Father Rhine saw the knights around his daughter, so he raised his water and drove Ixirclol away in a chariot. Lorelei never came out and sat on the rock and never played with her hair any more. Hut they still heard her slmOng her song. Wonders of JVatnre, "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Tor kins, "you have no idea how Instructive nnd interesting It Is to go to market!"
