NO. 22 HOUSTON AIDING FARMERS' WIVES WOMEN TAUGHT EFFICIENCY Value of Home Conveniences Demonstrated by Agents of Department of Agriculture—Data Show Amount Spent and Outline the Visible Results—Work is Just Started. Washington—Secretary of Agriculture Houston is going to try to solve the problem of unrest among country women by improving their condition. "The chief objections of women to country life," according to a statement issued by the department, "are usually the generally small returns from farming, the drudgery of farm work and the social isolation. "Data taken from the records of the department and relating exclusively to work of this kind in the thirty-three northern and western states show the following distribution of funds: For meetings and movable schools, at which demonstrations are given in cooking, sewing, household conveniences and for the organization of women's clubs to study home economics, $81,555; for canning clubs to teach girls and women how to prevent many of the wastes of the farm by canning and preserving fruits, vegetables and meats by cheap and rapid commercial processes, $56,197; for county agents who help farmers and their wives to Photo by American Press Association. SECRETARY HOUSTON. increase the net income of the farm and thus make possible the introduction of labor saving conveniences and other improvements $1,027,312. "Extension work designed to be fundamentally helpful to farm women seems to include within its scope certain matters, as follows: "First—Plans to increase the net income of the farm. Farm women need more money for home purposes. The purchase of home conveniences, the installation of water, sewerage, lighting and heating systems, kitchen and other conveniences and the bringing of literature and music into the home are, in the majority of country homes, dependent upon greater net profits in farming. Knowledge of these conveniences and other desirable things is good, but money to buy these desirable things is a vital necessity if country life is to be made as acceptable to women as town life. "Second—Plans to teach and demonstrate efficiency in farm home management. These include such matters as wholesome food properly prepared and served in adequate supply and variety throughout the year, the care of the home and the family linen and wardrobe, the care and management of children and sometimes the handling of certain farm enterprises like poultry and eggs, milk and butter, the garden, small fruits, etc. Efficiency in farm home management contemplates the maximum of accomplishment with the minimum of effort to the end that the farm family may find satisfaction and contentment in the home and that the time of the farm woman may be conserved. "Third—Plant for leisure and development. The farm woman needs time for reading, self development, child teaching, social life and recreation. "In the development of home economics demonstration work there needs to be kept in mind the point of view that the problems of country women must chiefly be solved by country women. The county agent movement in some sections of the north and west started out primarily as a city man's movement, but it has succeeded in exact proportion as the farmers of the county have taken hold of the work and made it their own." Monument Set Up For Ape. Summit, N. J.—The grave of a pet monkey which was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Humphreys of New York and was buried here a short time ago on the estate of Mr. Humphreys' mother, Mrs. T. St. John Gaffney, is now marked with a handsome headstone. FINDS WIFE BY TAPE. Worcester (Mass.) Scientist Declares Unhappy Marriages Need Not Exist. Boston—Incompatibility in marriage is soon to be a thing of the past, according to Dr. Max Baff, the Worcester scientist and former fellow in psychology at Clark university, who announces that he has discovered how to measure temperament. With nothing more than a tape measure, he says, it is possible to find one's affinity and be positively sure that one is marrying the right man or woman. Dr. Baff has had under observation Massachusetts' best known bachelor, Governor David I. Walsh. He recently announced the kind of a wife the governor should find in order to be assured of perfect happiness. Here are the specifications, the result of scientific observance: She must be from five feet three inches to five feet six inches tall. She must weigh from 141 to 146 pounds. She must be tactful. She must be cheerful at all times, especially before breakfast. It is essential that she have a mezzosoprano voice. FAVORS STUDENT CAMPS. Secretary Garrison Will Ask Congress For Appropriations. Washington—Secretary of War Garrison has not abandoned plans for the establishment of camps for the military instruction of college and university students. Comptroller of the Treasury Downey has ruled that there was no warrant for the expenditure of government funds for regular officers and troops at such camps. A reconsideration has been asked by Secretary Garrison, and if this is unfavorable the secretary will urge legislation by congress authorizing appropriations. GERMANS CONTINUE TO BUY AMERICAN HORSES GERMANS CONTINUE TO BUY AMERICAN HORSES How They Send Them Home Is a Deep Mystery to Dealers. Lincoln, Neb.—Representatives of all of the principal nations at war in Europe are combing the west for horses for the armies. Several of the horse buyers bear titles; the majority of them are men who have been at the head of great establishments in Belgium and France, which formerly supplied America with draft horse stallions. One who was recently in Lincoln was paid $2 a day and expenses for his work. Before the war he drew $10,000 a year as manager of a great breeding stable in Normandy. How the few German buyers get their purchases through is a mystery, and they refuse to elucidate. They make it plain that that is their own business, and they keep on buying. Some of the largest dealers in this section have been asked to bld on a 25,000 head shipment for the German government payable for drafts on New York. In the beginning speculators and business men jumped into the game, taking large contracts or subcontracts. The ruling prices for the grades desired were $150 and $175, subject to inspection, which was very rigid, and a large portion of each shipment was rejected. Rather than carry these back to the west the dealers sold them at the points of shipment for what they could get. That there are horse traders in Europe and dealers with sharp eyeeth was proved by the fact that a number of these rejected animals were shipped to Europe, the purchasers being government agents, who took this means of showing American dealers some tricks in horse buying, purchasing in the guise of contractors who desired the animals for the northwest. The fact that the greater part of the supply in the west has already been purchased or is in the hands of speculators, holding for the raise they feel certain will come with a continuance of the war, has led to a letting down of the inspection bars. Hundreds of animals that formerly would have not received a second look are now going through. The stable boys say that the fat ones are given the preference. White and gray horses are taboo because they are shining marks on the battlefield. The one thing the buyers are particular about is the wind. They require swift galloping for a block or two before the inspector decides. HIS NAME NOT NEWLYWED. However, He wouldn't Fire at Burglar Lest Baby Be Waked. Scottdale, Pa.-Rather than waken the baby by firing his revolver, Frank Welss, a tailor, sat on a stairway in his home and watched a burglar ransack the dining room. The intruder's movements were plainly visible through a transom. When the burglar found a pocket- book in a drawer and transferred its contents to his pockets Welss' grip on the revolver tightened, but his wife tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him not to shoot. Mrs. Welss, after four hours' ordeal with a fretful baby, had succeeded in getting it to sleep when the burglar came. BUILT TOWN FOR WHEAT. Kansan Wanted a Market and Breton Became It. Colby, Kan.—Because he raised 150, 000 bushels of wheat in 1914 and needed a place to market it without a long haul Ben Foster, a large landowner, built a town of his own. He erected an elevator, lumber yard, coal yard and store; also residences for his employees. He named the town Breton, and now it is getting away from his first idea. Other people are moving there, and Foster is in a good way to become the proprietor of a thriving country town. He refuses to sell the lots, but rents them on long leases. WATCHING THE SITUATION.

HONEYMOONERS WALK ACROSS THE COUNTRY Took Pair Two Years to Make the Long Trips. Harrisburg, Pa.—Journeys across the continent twice on foot within a period of two years marked the unique honeymoon trip taken by Mr. and Mrs. John Broxman, who live near here. In the twenty-four months that they have been away the young married couple have traversed the parched sands of the semitropical countries of the south, the fertile valleys of the middle west and the rugged mountain paths of the far western states. They are happy and have returned to their home without reporting a mishap. In making their long journey on foot Mr. and Mrs. Broxman have won both fame and fortune, for not only were they cordially welcomed in all the towns and cities through which they passed, but as the result of their long hike they have been presented with a large sum of money by a brother-in-law of Mrs. Broxman in California, and henceforth they will make their home on a farm which has been purchased by the bridegroom near Harrisburg. Mr. and Mrs. Broxman were married two years ago and had planned to spend their honeymoon quietly in the east. But Mrs. Broxman's brother-in-law in Santa Anna, Cal., told them that he would present them with a substantial sum of money if they would take as their honeymoon trip a "stroll" from Harrisburg to California and back again. They decided to try to win the prize held out to them, so immediately after the wedding ceremony was performed they started on their long hike. Pet Collie a Hero Wallace, Ida.—Were dogs entitled to receive medals a six-month-old Scotch collie owned by Horace Langdon would be entitled to recommendation for such honor. The cabin occupied by Langdon and Charles Bare was destroyed by fire. Langdon was roused by the dog frantically clawing and scratching his neck and shoulders. He hastily broke a window and, grasping the dog, jumped outside and awakened Bare, who slept in an adjoining room. SITUATION IS COMPLICATED Forty-eight German Ships In American Waters Would Have to Flee or Be Seized—This Country Would Probably Give Them a Chance to Get Away and Land Where They Could. Washington.—The precise legal status of many hundreds of millions, perhaps of billions, of property in this country and others would be brought into question if the United States were to become involved in the war in Europe. Vast properties in the United States of European ownership would be liable to confiscation. Great properties, though much less in aggregate value, owned by Americans in Europe would be in the same position. American corporations would not be permitted, it is assumed, to pay dividends on securities held by citizens of the countries with which the United States was at war. The German ships now interned in this country would be under the necessity of leaving American waters at the risk of being captured on the high seas or else being confiscated in the ports where they are now held. In all the history of warfare there has probably never been so complicated a financial situation in international relationship as that which would ensue between the United States and Germany if the two countries by any chance should engage in hostilities. Germans have long been large investors in the United States, particularly in securities of railroad and industrial corporations. It is now pretty well known that these investments were to a considerable degree liquidated in the last year before the war began. During that period Germany was systematically turning its investments into forms most available for quick use, and the conversion was made so skillfully and quietly that the world of business did not fully realize what was afoot until the war had actually broken out. Consequently it is impossible at all accurately to appraise German holdings in this country today. It is believed, however, that they are largest in railroad securities, then in industrials and finally in real estate and miscellaneous forms of property. On the other hand, American property interests in Germany are larger than is generally understood, because in recent years a number of American industrials have been forced to establish plants in Germany. It was estimated that $2,000,000,000 worth of various alien owned investments in both countries would be involved if the two countries should go to war. What would be their standing? This question is decidedly important to people on both sides who have such holdings. But it is easier answered than the next one. With the two countries at war unnaturalized Germans in this country would become, before the law, "alien enemies." No matter how loyal to this country or how determined that their conduct toward and in their adopted country should be exemplary, that would be their legal position. This class of people own great aggregates of property in this country, and to involve them in any general conflagration measures would be so farreaching in their effects that it is recognized as quite impossible that any such would be undertaken. The declaration of war between two countries has the effect, under long established international practice, of suspending, but not wiping out, debts of a state or its citizens to the citizens of another state. The reasons are manifest. In the first place, to pay debts to a foreign state during war would be to furnish the sinews of war to the enemy. In the second place, if the debtor declined to pay, there would be no chance to enforce collection, because the debtor, an enemy alien, would have no access to the country's courts to enforce payment. The forty-eight German vessels interned in this country, appraised as worth nearly $200,000,000, are in a peculiar status. Interned here because the United States is a mutual friend, they would suddenly be found to be in the complete power of a new enemy. It is explained that the peculiar obligation which the United States has assumed toward them raises questions not before broached—whether it would be violating a very special and unusual faith to appropriate the ships now if this country and Germany were at war. The procedure which the authorities believe correct would be to notify the vessels that they must leave American territorial waters and to give them a fair chance to do so. After that they would be liable to seize by American war vessels or by the vessels of America's allies. Or, if the Germans preferred, they could decline to leave, the United States government could take possession of and formally confiscate the vessels and let the whole business be settled after the war's end. Defective Page Landlady Kept it and Had to Pay $102. Anthony, Kan.—The famous Harper county umbrella, which has been in litigation for several months, became the undisputed property of Mrs. Mary Schoeneman of Harper a few days ago when a jury in the district court assessed her $2 for the property rights attached thereto, together with the costs in the case, which have mounted to $100. Mrs. Schoeneman is the landlady at a rooming house in Harper. Mrs. Lille Smith, with her daughter and two grandchildren, contracted for a room with the Schoenemans. Mrs. Smith says the contract price for the bed for four was 50 cents. Mrs. Schoeneman says it was 75 cents. Mrs. Smith would pay only 50 cents when she left, and it was accepted. She forgot her umbrella. Mrs. Schoeneman held it for the twenty-five cent balance. Mrs. Smith sued. The justice court gave her a verdict for $3.50 and $7 attorney fees. Mrs. Schoeneman appealed to a jury, and it found again for Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Schoeneman paid the costs and quit. 2,065,000 MEN IN THE ITALIAN ARMY Statistics Show That Naval Fighting Force Is Also Strong.

Seneca, Kan.—A community tabernacle was built here in one day. At 8 o'clock the business and professional men of the town gathered with hammers, saws, planes and nails and went to work. By 6 o'clock the immense building was completed. The tabernacle has a seating capacity of 1,000 people and will be used during the summer for the Sunday night meetings and for a community center for social affairs. The band boys co-operated in its erection and will use it for their weekly concerts. The ladies of the city prepared and served dinner at noon to several hundred people. The Rev. Charles A. Richard is the community pastor and one of the prime spirits in the erection of this tabernacle.

Girl, Given Away Because of Poverty, Now Knows Parents. Lacrosse, Wls.-Hazel "West," fifteen-year-old girl, who was taken away from Fred West, her foster father, by Judge Brindley because he had neglected her, has found her mother in a woman she has known all her life as a dear friend. Mrs. Fred Green, the mother, appeared before Judge Brindley and told the remarkable story of how she had given Hazel to the Wests when she was a baby because of her inability to care for the baby. A mysterious telephone call to the Home of the Friendless, where Judge Brindley placed Hazel, effected the reunion of mother and daughter. The message said that if Hazel would come to one of the downtown stores she would be given a heavy coat. Hazel went downtown alone and did not come back. Investigation revealed her at the home of Mrs. Green, who had met her in the store and told her the story of her parentage. In explaining the case to the judge Mrs. Green said: "I was the mother of another child when Hazel was born, and we were too poor to care for both of them, and at Mrs. West's urgent plan I let them take her. "Not a week has passed since that I have not seen her. The Wests were better able to care for her than I, and I have been happy in the thought that she was being brought up in the right way. But since Mrs. West's death I have been worried, and now that she has been taken away from West I intend to keep her." Mrs. Green is the wife of a railroad engineer. Hazel's father is dead. SAYS WOMEN DRINK MORE. Flight Against Liquor Stronger Except With Them, Says Bennet. Philadelphia.—In an address at the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the National Temperature union ex- Congressman William S. Bennet of New York, after describing the progress made by the fees of drink, said: Mr. Bennet said that in 1870 virtually every state was under the influence of the liquor interests, but that now only two, one eastern and one western, are so influenced. "Drinking has decreased in New York. Now the men who refrain from drinking at a banquet are in the majority. Few men drink during their business hours." BRITISH WOMAN WINS HIGH MILITARY HONOR Freed From Jail, She Builds Hospital For Wounded. London. Though Britain flung her into durance vile before the war, it is ooing its cap to Miss Louis Garrett Anderson, who now holds authority equal to that of a major in the British army. Her work has to do with great things for the wounded. She had been jailed for a suffrage demonstration, and in the early weeks of the war she and the British government felt mutually shy of one another. Her first hospital was opened under French authority. The shyness having been dispelled, the war office asked Miss Garrett Anderson to come home and make a hospital in London. Out of her own resourcefulness, experience and initiative she is making her hospital. It has 500 beds. It is to be in working order in record time. The family record is an extraordinary one. Her mother, Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, was one of the first of women doctors. She began her medical studies in 1860, and though the College of Surgeons and the College of Physicians refused to admit her to their examinations, she obtained a license to practice from the Society of Anesthesiaries in 1865. Parls had fewer prejudices than London, and, passing the medical examinations of its university, she received her M. D. degree. Later on, when England realized that she was not to be denied, honors were not lacking, and her daughter's degree is a London one. After a long career in London Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson retired to her native town of Aldsburgh and was elected mayor. NEWSPAPER IN AN EGG. Clergyman's Wife Finds News Item Wrapped Around Yoke. Sedalia, Mo.—That a hen may swallow a news item and live to immortalize the digested information in an egg memoranda was shown when Mrs. J. A. Jared, wife of a clergyman, who corroborated their sensational breakfast, wrecked a boiled one and read the truth, or at least read the truth as near as a newspaper ever gets it. The fragment of newspaper, about a yoke and a half wide, was wrapped around the egg under the shell instead of the usual thin white shawl that protects the white of the egg in most instances. Mrs. Jared carefully removed the newspaper and found that every letter on it was readable and in fairly good English. $2.40 PER YEAR. WAR MAKING MAN OF ENGLISH HEIR Prince of Wales Serving at Front With His Regiment. MUST NOT BE CAPTURED. Life In the Open With Responsibilities Is Rapidly Developing the Slight, Rosy, Boyish, Twenty-year-old Prince. Litthe and Young, He Has Done His Twenty-five Miles a Day. London.—The Prince of Wales, the twenty-year-old future king of England, faced Earl Kitchener in the war office one day last November and demanded that he be allowed to go to the front at once. Three months previously, at the very outbreak of the war, within a week of receiving his commission as a lieutenant in the First Grenadier guards, he had made the same request, but the secretary of war Photo by American Press Association. THE PRINCE OF WALES. had refused it on the ground that the prince's military training had only just begun. For a second time the lithe and slender subaltern stood before the great field marshal. He had thrown himself into his work with such enthusiasm and patriotic fervor that now, after only twelve weeks, he was fit and ready for active service. He had been so reported by his commanding officer. Earl Kitchener listened to what the young man had to say. The British warlord is stern and unbending, but human. He knew the prince's spirit and talked with him as one soldier with another, not from a personal but from a national point of view. It went without saying that the prince was eager to fight and would do his duty just the same as any other officer, taking his chances of being killed or wounded with the rest. That was not what was worrying Kitchener. He would mourn if anything happened to the Prince of Wales, but he knew that if the heir apparent did get killed there were plenty of other people to come to the throne of England. What concerned Lord Kitchener was this: If the Prince of Wales were taken prisoner and held as a hostage by the Germans very serious embarrassment might be caused to the allies, and their plans for the final settlement of the war would be gravely hampered. This Earl Kitchener pointed out in his usual direct and forcible manner, but the young prince was not to be denied, and when he left the war office it was with the promise that he would be attached to Field Marshal French's staff at the headquarters of the British expeditionary force in France. On Nov. 16 the Prince of Wales crossed over from Folkestone to Boulogne and proceeded at once to St. Omer, where the headquarters' staff was then located. From that day till April 10, when the Prince of Wales arrived in London bearing dispatches from the British commander in chief, he has regularly performed the arduous and dangerous duties of a dispatch rider. The Prince of Wales is a slightly built and very high strung youth who looks two or three years younger than he really is. There is nothing in his uniform to distinguisht him from any other staff officer. Nearly four months elapsed from the day the prince reported for duty till Field Marshal French gave him twenty-four hours' leave. This was early in March, and instead of spending his time in the big white house in which he lives the prince ordered his car and, leaving the noncommissioned officer behind, took his brother officer and was on his way to Paris as fast as his car could carry him. On his arrival he went to an old fashioned hotel in the Rue de Rivol, facing the Tulierles gardens, and sent word of his presence to the British embassy in the Faunburg St. Honore. When the Right Hon. Sir Francis Bertie, the ambassador, had he at it once wired over to Buckingham palace, but the king and queen evidently decided not to interfere. So the ambassador called upon the Prince of Wales and took him round to lunch with President Policare. THE DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."
