School Directors Ask
Changes In State Law
OLYMPIA, Dec. 11—The executive
and legislative committees of the
State School Directors Association in
joint session here for the considera
tion of proposed legislation affecting
schools, passed a resolution Satur
day favoring amendment of a law to
authorize all graduates of the Univer
sity of Washington, Washington
State college and of four year
courses in state normal schools to
teach both the elementary and high
schools of the state.
Under the present law graduates of
the State university and of the State :
college may teach only in high I
schools, while graduates of normal
schools may qualify only as elemen
tary school teachers. Should the
legislature act favorably upon the
resolution, a considerable number of
graduates of the state institutions
would be affected immediately upon
the law becoming effective.

ized protest against the public inspec
tion of income tax returns was launch

club’s authority to apply for leave to
file a brief, a friend of the court, to
any suit the attorney general may
bring to test the publicity provision

Police Are Stopping
Kidnapping in Japan
TOKYO, Dec. 10.—The kidnaping
business is a profitable one in the
Japanese empire. For the most part
they keep one guess ahead of the
nimble, besworded Japanese gendarme
for only a month or two and then
they are given a long stretch of un
occupied time behind rusty gratings
to ponder over their one bad guess.
One man, however, who was as
sisted by his wife, succeeded in dodg
ing the police long enough to kidnap
77 women and girls in a country dis
trict not far from the capital. Their
(practice was to entice their victims
into moving picture theatres, drop a
(little powdre in the tea which is serv
ied between reels, and sell the uncon
scious victim to restaurant and tea
house keepers.
They guessed that they would take
a chance on the credentials of the
stranger who said he was a tea-house
proprietor and offered to buy their
78th vcitim—and now they are guess
ing how long it will be before they
see another movie.

knife. After an examination of the
premises the police stated that rob
nery had not been the motive for the
killing.

UNIFORM METHOD
MEASURE YACHTS
LONDON, Dec. 11.—The continua
tion of the existing international rule
of yacht measurement was considered
recently by a conference of the Inter
national Racing Union, presided over
by Sir W. Burton, vice president of
the Yacht Racing Association, who
said there was a universal wish to
evolve a rule that resulted in a whole
some boat without unnecessary under
body. He was delighted to see an
American representative present to
give firsthand information about their
universal rule
Prof. Poor of New York said he
considered the American rule supe
rior to that of the union, as in his
opinion it produced a better all-around
boat and not one built to one partic
ular strength of weather only.
Johan Ankor, Norwegian designer,
said he thought it was generally
agreed that the International rule for
yachts up to 12 meters had so far
been satisfactory and proposed that
it be continued. This proposal was
carried.
Capt. von Heidenstam, Sweden, pro
posed a committee of delegates—one
from Great Britain and one from
Sweden—be appointed by the confer
ence to confer with Prof. Poor for the
discussion of both rules, and that this
committee should have power to deal
with the question at their will. This
was agreed to.
Other propositions wrhich were car
ried included a proposal that the mea
surement rules be extended for fix
ed periods of three years from De
cember 1, 1925, a denunciation of va
lidity to be made at least three years
before the end of such period, the bow
and stern tax for old yachts under
clause 20 should cease to operate for
six and twelve meter boats on Decem
ber 31, 1925, and eight meter yachts
be allowed to carry three hands in
stead of two and that each national
authority have power to reduce the
number to two as originaay if they
desire. The number of persons on a
6-meter boat be limited to five and
the w'ord “ladies” be omitted from the
present rule.
Considerable discussion arose on
the question of scantlings and after
expert opinion had been given it wras
decided to increase the scantlings in
the 8, 10 and 12 meter classes.
