WAR WILL REALLY
 BENEFIT EUROpE E This Is Conclusion of New School of Economists at
 Washington.
IMPETUS TO PROGRESS
Contend That Survivors, Extra Eiiorts Will More Than Make Up for Wars Toll, and Point to Re-
 suits in Indiana.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Following the dismal prognostications concerning the tremendous destruction of capital and property as result of the Euro pean war which were voiced in many quarters sCon after the outbreak of the struggle, Ia new school of econo- mlsts and political scientists has aris- en i'll Washington, the scholars of Which place rosier complexion upon world affairs.
 Instead of years and possibly de- cades of hard labor to recover what has been lost on account of the war, Europe will progress more rapidly than ever, is their claim. They have no sympathy for those who mourn for what is lost but are looking for ward to newer day in which greater things will be accomplished than the world yet knows.
 This is the way they figure it out. Take ten men who constitute a given community, and who know that their livelihood depends solely upon what they produce. The work is appor- toned among them, each bearing a portion, some perhaps less and some more. Each one has discovered that by working eight hours day the community is adequately served. Then remove by death or disability, one of this group of ten. The remaining nine, aware of the removal of the tenth one of their number, immediate ly become solicitous for the general welfare, fearing that the loss of the mans work will menace seriously the Well-being of the community. Each one has been working eight hours a day-comparatively easy task Real izing that all must work harder to make up for the man who is gone, each one adds two hours to his work ing day. This means that each of the remaining niue men works ten hours a day or total of ninety hours day The ten men when all were working eight hours a day totaled in hours of work only eighty hours a day, there fore, the death of the one man has caused an increase in output.
 Now these economists take one pf the European nations at war, Ger many for instance, and work out this iyproblem. Germany has d population of 65,000 000. Her force now under arms aggregates about 4,0O0,O00, a tre-
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-12-20

mendous army, in comparison to pop ulation, yet only one sixteenth of the total population of the state. Should Germany lose 100000 men in the war, that would remove but one thir- ty-second of the population. Women work in Germany as in almost every European state, in the fields, in the mills and at nearly all other kinds of labor.
 Figuring on this basis, at least half of the German population is engaged in productive economic effort. This would bring the war loss back to one sixteenth of the working population. The workers, appalled, at the loss of 1 2 ,OOO ,OOO men in the war, would add to their output by the equivalent of at least two hours day and many would double their output. Working eight hours day, the producing pop ulation would put in a total of 2oO,- 100000 hours daily. With the 2,OOO,- GOO fallen warriors removed, and with at Washington university, St. Louis.
 the remaining population working ten hours each day, a total of 315, ,O0O,0OO hours would be- put in. This would be a gain of 55,0oo,0o0 working hours daily The increased production which this would bring about would 1 immediately wipe out all traces ol economic loss incident to the war.

looks after the babies of the mothers who must work all day. There are six babies under two years old, and they are brought to her early each morning and receive a mothers care. The children more than three go to the kindergarten which has been established on the place, and when they are too old for that they go to the school. When the school is fin ished they may choose their own vu- cation, and Mir. Page will see to it that they have the required training.
 There are grandmothers there, too. MT. Page thinks no home is complete without grandmothers and babies. They butter about the place all day, helping with the dishes the sewing and the babies, rocking the babies to sleep and telling them stories, just as all grandmothers do.
 Romance is not absent from "Wid- ows' Row." It is encouraged.
 Every woman needs a home," says Mir. Page. eff they can pick out some good man who can take care of them and their children let them marry again.
 But they don't take any chances. One of the widows has already made an unfortunate marriage, and the others are safeguarded as much as possible. Every adnirer must be pre- sented to the matron and must have her approval before they can become steady" Also the calls must be made in the sitting room in the mat ron's cottage. One or two budding romances are expected to result 1n weddings.

its theory with examples. Take Indi ana, they say. Indiana sent one man out of every ten adults in the state to the American civil war. In spite of this, the agricultural output of mdi ana during the struggle was nearly doubled and the ratio continued so long as the stress brought about by the feeling of necessity endured.
 This is just one of many typical examples given. The new school of economists points out the increases in production following every great war in the history of the world and finds no exceptions to the rule.

2223 18th St, N. w, Washington, D. c -' Some time ago l suffered terribly from rngworms. They broke out in small blisters and the head became scaly. So bad were the ringworms that the hair was completely eaten away, the scalp became tender and lrritated so much so that aft er being touched sores began to spread. After few weeks the head became a solid mass of sore erup- ion. In some instances the irritation was so severe that 1t was a!mast impossible to rest.
 "These ringworrl,s had been running for two or three months and numerous remedies, home and prescribed, were tried but to no avail. Some one hit upon the idea to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment as we had been using it in the family for the babies. Upon tue first application relief was afforded in two months an entire new growth of hair had come forth and after continuing the treatment for another month 1 was completely healed Of the ringworms.

OWENS MAKES FIRST MOVE IN
REELECTION CAMPAIGN
County Judge Owens fired the first
shot in his campaign for reelection
yesterday by removing all election
judges and clerks in the First Ward.
Owens reasons are obvious. 1t is
common talk that Aldermen Kenna
and Coughlin will not support Owens
this fall. So Owens, who is boss of
the election machinery in Cook coun-
ty, evidently intends that the First
Ward polling places will be manned
this fall by his friends.
Naturally, the newspaper bosses
are standing with Owens and against
Kenna and Coughlin.

JAPANATTEMPTSTO ID CHANGE: FEELING IN BRITISH COLONIES Mission Sent to England and DominiOns to Stem
 Race Hatred BILL WOULD CREATE WOMEN CONSTABLES Officials of Scotland Yard Oppose Step, But Suffragists Are De- lighted-Party Feelings Mani
 fested in Social Life

London, May 30-The Japanese govern ment has become so seriously concerned over the anti-Japanese spirit that Is be- ing cultivated in Australia, New Zeland and Canada, that missions have been sent to England and the dominions named to counteract the feeling.
 In Australia the antagonism against Asiatic immigration is even more bitter than in New zeland, Canada or the western states of North America. It is believed that the Japanese have designs on Australia. It is for this and no other reason that conscription has been intro duced to the dominion and the start has been made in building a navy Among the stories current in Australia is one to the effect that map of that country IS hung up in every schoolroom in Japan to which the attention of the students Is directed as being that of a land which should form a part of the Japanese empire. The Japanese deny this and say that the only Justification for the inven- tion is the cry of ITO the South Seas, which is often heard in Japan, but which means nothing more than a movement of commercial expansion and has no politi- cal significance
 - The feeling of antagonism of which the Japanese complain is not confined to Australians and New Zelanders. English men visiting these dominions are infect ed with 1t. General Sir Ian Hamilton, inspector general of odessa forces, who is paying an official visit to the antipodes, referred to it in a speech that he delivered at Wellington, New Zeland. Answering the question why extraordinary precau- tions were being taken in Australia and New Zealand he said it was because of the shortening of distances caused by the advent of electricity and aeroplanes and of high explosives. The Pacific, he said, was the meeting ground not of nations, but of continents, where it might be de- cided whether Asiatics or Europeans T" i'id guide the destinies of the world.
 asons no less obvious were under

 ge-evolving chaos, resemblying

Want Seamen to Quit Drink

While it had been suggested that the British admirality follow the example of Secretary Daniels and prohibit the use of wines and liquors In the navy, a move ment is afoot to induce the men to give up drink.
 Admiral Sir G. King-Hall speaking of this movement said that temperance in the navy was making progress all along the line, but there was still room for much improvement. He condemned the practice of giving out grog and said 50 per cent of the men would give 1t up If some small addition to their pay were sub- stituted. He hope some first lord of the future would take up the matter with wisdom and boldness. It would mean adding only another $3o0.000 to the pay of the men to bring about the reform, which would lead to increase In efficiency all around.
 In the Indian army the progress of temperance is remarkable. According to officers back from India, about 50 per cent of the British soldiers there are total ebstainers.

May Have Women Constables

bill to enable the police authorities to enroll women constables is to be intro duced in the House of Commons by Lord Henry Cavendish Bentnck, unionist mem Der for South Nottinghamshire.
 The officials of Scotland Yard have de- clared themselves as opposed to the measure spokesman said bluntly, We are against the suggestion. We employ special women for special pur- poses, such as vigilance work, and in all cases Intimately connected with women or young girls, to "a far greater extent than the public realizes. Moreover in all our police stations women are employed to look after female prisoners and whenever there is female prisoner a woman is constantly on the premises. Then, again, we work in close touch and sympathy with the many excellent societies that employ women detectives and watchers and we step in with our constables on a hint frop them. So that. on the whole women constables are not only unneces- sary. but objectionable, because they i. would inevitably lead to what one may \call specialized enlistment"
 Mrs. Dacre Fox, of the Women's Social and Political union thinks the idea an excellent one. There should be no spe- cializing between men and women; she said. ''the community should have the pick of the best of both sexes. The doctrine of physical force and the sex question apply less in this respect than any other as policemen only exist by the mora force behind them.'' s4

More Privileges for Women

The liberal government has promised to introduce two new measures which if carried by Parliament will make 1t pos sible for much larger number of women to become eligible for election for town and country councils in England and Wales. and for town. county. and parish councils in Scotland.
 As the law stands only electors arc eligible for these bodies and as only householders may exercise the municipal and local franchise, comparatively few men are eligible. The new bills will make 1t possible for anyone who has resided in the district for one year to stand for elec- ton in that section. The practical effect of this law will be that married women and other women living In the homes of their relatives may become members of these local bodies.

Sex Hygiene Is Barred

ucation committee of the London ft<- ouncil has decided that under no circumsta ices should sex hygene be in troducST into class teaching in the ele- menta.,y schools This decision was reach- ed .Ster a long investigation and the ex- aminatf5G of a large number of teachers.
 The evia~~re was almost unanimously against the proposition. Dealing with the objections to the inclusion of such sub ject in the curriculum, the report of the committee mentions, in the first place, that the Knowledge of such matters amongst children depends very largely upon the type of home from which they have been drawn. It is pointed out that where, as is unhappily common in many districts, the parents and children live in one room in which all the events of life and death take place the knowledge of the children must be very different from that of children who come from home where they are carefully guarded and who may obtain no information of this kind until they are over IA years of age. It would be a task of the greatest diff ficulty to reach the subject satisfactorily in class, since. while to some children the facts are already known, there are oth- CTS to whom the knowledge rNght come as a shock. Then a method of treatment of this subject might benefit one child. might harm another. In the second place. speaking of these subjects in class must tend to break down the children's natural modesty and reserve. Neverthe- less. the report agrees that some such instruction might be given 10 children over l4 in the higher schools and evening in- stitutes, and if is suggested that pamphlets dealing with the subject should be given to girls leaving the elementary schools.
