GIRLS SCHOOL OF ECONOMY
University Of Nebraska Gives In
struction as 10 How to
Spend Money.

A good many schools have Depart
ments where girls are taught domestic
science in more or less theoretical
way, but ii remains for Nebraska TO es-
tablish at its state university a course
in which young women may be in
structed in the art of spending money
to advantage. Every woman, of course,
knows how TO spend money in the
sense of paying it out for something,
but it is the belief OF good many men
that she is SO anxious TO get rid of any
funds she may have in her possession
that she does not receive their value.
1t is TO show her how to make her out
lay wisely and judiciously that the new
department is to be established.
1t Will require a fund of $4,000, and
some cynical persons aver that this is
TO be used in furnishing a miniature
department store, where lessons in bar
gains can be given. This is probably
not true. but however the task is 10 he
performed, whether with or without
object lessons in the shape of actual
goods, it is proposed TO equip the girls
with a knowledge of values in meats,
groceries and dry goods, how TO distin-
guish between cotton and wool fabrics;
in short. TO teach them that large
share of the science of housekeeping
which consists of judicious buying.
Possibly this art may be taught in
schools. Perhaps the professors-those
of them who are married men may be
able to impart TO the students the Sc
cret of the value of money, even il they
have not been able properly 10 con-
vince their wives that they (the pro-
fessors) know all that is to be learned
on the subject. 1t may be that girls in
large numbers will flock to this school
for the purpose of finding how to make
a little money go long way, but there
is reason TO suspect that this will not
be the case, but that the majority will
continue to follow the time honored
method of learning how 10 economize-
namely, by marrying men of small in
comes.

PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT.
Interesting Particulars Concerning
Salaries of Senators and
Representatives.

The salaries OF officials OF the United
States government have been increased
several times since its foundation, ana
necessarily. for the relative value OF
money has declined. For instance, in
1889. the salaries OF senators and repre-
sentatives were fixed al six dollars a day
and six dollars for every 20 miles or
travel In 1895 these sums were In
creased TO seven dollars each. rn 1916
the salary was made $1,000 per annum
In 1918 IL was raised 10 eight dollars
day and eight dollars for every 20 miles
of travel In 1856 the pay was put at
$4,000 and mileage as before. and in
1866 the salary was raised 10 $4,000 and
of the speaker to $1,000. as these are now.
The salary grab act Of 1873. which in
creased the pay TO $500 for senator's
and representatives aroused an indig-
nant protest, not because of the increase
in itself. but because the raise was made
retroactive only in the case Of congress.
and that feature was concealed under a
raise Of salary of the president from S25,-
600 10 $50 600 a year. and Of the chief

act was repealed the next year. and all
the salaries, except those Of the pTesi-
dent and justices reverted to the old
standard.
These salaries should be now in
creased moderately and the bill for that
purpose introduced into the last con-
gress ought to be passed; but no increase

penditures commensurate with those

HOW TO WIN IN BATTLE.
Method of Procedure Which Enabled
the japanese 70 Vanquish
Russians.

According 10 the Corriere della Sera,
OF Milan, Gen. Oku, commanding the
Japanese Second army, which mas
played a conspicuous part in all the
battles In Manchuria since IL defeated
the Russians under Gen. Stackleberg
at Vafangow early in the present war,
issued on February 20 last the follow
ing general orders: ARTILLERY fire is
the best method Of preparing an at
tack: but. even when heavy guns are
used firing at the enemy's position is
alone comparatively useless, so long
as il is not taken advantage OF for an
infantry advance. The infantry must
always move forward, no matter how
slowly. Positions once occupied must
never be abandoned. II strong coun-
ter attack is expected, prepare for it
with machine guns and hand gren-
AIDES. The former are especially use
full in some cases, but they require
perfect cleanliness and oiling and
constant care 70 effect small repairs
at once. even in the hottest OF the
fight. Pay especial attention 10 the
oiling cylinder and the loader. Ma
chine guns must never be alone.
Troops advancing 10 the attack
must carry sandbags to construct
defensive positions, as at this season
the frozen ground cannot be broken.
When strong positions or machine
guns are met with, a small force of
Artillery, preferably of mountain guns,
must be brought up without horses.
If the attack is along a greatly ex-
tended front, the village must be used
as fortified points TO economic men,
and thin line only must be kept be
tween them. The reserves will thus
always be strong and serviceable.
whenever new positions are occu-
pied, a report on the enemy's disposi-
ticns, and the nature Of the ground
must at once be made. Constant study
of these two things is of the utmost
/ importance as a means 10 victory. The
greatest attention must be paid, above
all. 10 the movements of the troops
/ cooperating on the tanks; you must
constantly yourselves Judge of the
situation and act accordingly. Sol
diers who think Of their own inter-
ests. not of their comrades, do not
understand the art of war.
When troops remain long time
in one place useless objects accumu-
/ late in the soldiers personal kit, and
| this interferes with swift movement.
Let everything unnecessary be thrown
away Your aim must be TO move
! rapidly. Never, in any circumstances,
give arms or ammunition up to the
enemy. If you cannot carry them
away destroy them, even at the risk
of your lives"

GOLF IN SPHINX'S SHADOW
Have Many Difficulties to
Contend With.

Not only in Egypt, but all over the
old world, the English are always the
leaders in sports" writes an Egyptian
traveller 1T is so afloat and ashore. In
Egypt the English visitors get up polo
matches. tennis, croquet. golf and bridge
tournaments, fancy dress balls smok-
ing concerts and organize gymkhanas.
Those who know the difficulties of keep
ing up a golf club in green and we'll

manent residents TO pay the dues,
can readily conjecture what must
must be the difficulties, in a dry
and desert country, where the
only permanent residents are Arabs
and donkeys and where the golf play
ers come only three months in a year.
Yet there are not few golf clubs in the
land of the Pharaohs.
There are many humorous things
connected with golf in Egypt There
are what might be called eXtra-hazard-
Gus hazards; for example, at one links,
in Upper Egypt, the golf course wound
it's desert way past an oasis on which
was a luxuriant field of clover. A SHE'D
ball was extremely apt TO hide itself in
this clover. The following new rule was
made by the Arabs: Nobody in boots or
shoes could enter the oasis limits to
search for balls; only barefooted peo-
pie otherwise Arabs were allowed to
enter. Every day We found large pop
ulation of Arabs around the oasis wait
ing for golf balls TO 90 TO grass. Some
times, fear. they were assisted there.
1t required much backsheesh to get
them out.
AT last there were so many lost balls
that an investigation was made by the
greens committee. An old woman was
discovered hiding near the clover haz-
ard When you made a fine long APP
proach the old lady grabbed the golf
ball and took 20 her heels. She regard
ed the balls as her legitimate spoil and
offered them freely for sale. to the
original owners at cut prices. 1t took
an enormous amount of time and labor
10 convince her that she must give up
her practice"

SWIMMING POOL REMEDIES.
How the Boy with His Head Full if
Water Was Suddenly
Relieved.

"Golly, my heads full of water" said
boy al the public bath as he stood on
the side of the pool and pounded his
temples with his open hands.
Put rock on your ear" yelled a
country lad who was treading water
in the middle of the pool. "ThatIl
draw out the water"
The city youth tried piece Of brick
that was lying in the corner of a dress
ing room, but ii did no good. Recipes
for drawing out the water were hurled
from all parts of the room.
Here, I'll show you how to get il
out, said boy who had been making
spectacular dives and was therefore
competent TO prescribe. Here, now
stand on your right leg and put your
left foot on your right knee. Now hold
your nose in your left hand and your
left ear with your right hand. Shut
your eyes and hop"
followed directions and began to hop
dangerously near the side Of the pool.
The boy who was trying TO cure the
patient suddenly pushed the hopping
boy into the pool. He fell sprawling
and hit the water with a big splash
He came TO the surface smiling. It's

Roughly speaking, seventy-fve years
are required for the oak TO reach ma
turity; about the same length of time
for the ash, larch, and elm and about
eighty years for the spruce and FIR.
After this time their growth remains
stationary for some years, and then
decay begins. There are, however,
