CURIOUS State
Of AFFAIRS
IN HUNGARY

Budapest. July 24.-The lure OF the
United States as land OF opportunity
and wealth to the people of Hungary
has brought about curious state of
affairs in Kerisova, near Lugos. which
at the last census had a population OF
$500 souls. One by one, the male resi-
dents OF Kerisova felt the call across
the water and they emigrated in
patches until such times as the mayor
was the only adult male to remain.
Finally he also succumbed to the re-
ports OF good wages and golden
chances in America sent back by his
fellow townsmen. and, packing his
trunk. he made his way to the emigrant
ship at Fiume.
AS a result OF this exodus OF males,
the women Of Kerisova have just elect
cd a young woman to the position Of
mayor and other female residents have
been elected to fill the remainder OF the
municipal offices. The statutes in
Hungary provide that no female shall
hold public office. and according to the
letter OF the law the presence OF the
women I'm Office Is illegal.
