I ing a bill to call a special election at which the people would vote on the question of whether they want a consti

convention law was unconstitutional.
Bv the way. in this connection, the
attorney genera! has found a way b
which the various counties may legall
pa the expenses of the registration of
women voters for the special .election that was to have been held next September to elect delegates to the constitutional convention. When the supreme court knocked out" the convention there was no need for the registration to continue. And it was thought that there was no legal way by which officials could be paid for the work they had d'mes and the help they had hired to do the registering. Buf the attorney general has given an official opinion to the state board of accounts in wirfvh he says that the decision of the supreme

Mr. Bowma said .that were there facilities for getting at a person who goes down in the water there might be a chance to save them by using' the pulmotor. Mr. Eowen today injuired as to a supposed drowning at Pine Lake yesterday. "There is no systematic scheme of life saving at Pine Lake. Not the least sign of community co-operation. Life savers, preservers, and even grappling hooks are absent. If four or five boals were, employed in dragging where a person went down they might be able to bring him up in time for the puimotor to do some good," said Mr. Bowman. Pine Lake resorter9 are out to get the
money and pay little attention to safety devices. The conditions are different in Lake county.
