ECONOMY, WHITMAN
PLEADS TO CHARITIES
Governor Tells Delegates They
Should Devise Plans to
Save state Money.
WASTE CHARGES DENIED

ALBASY. Nov. 16.-Gov. whitman was
ference of corrections and charities he'd
here. The Governor made u plea for eco
noinical administration, saying:
II should like to urge In the strongest
possible manner upon all the delegates
10 this conference. and upon all those
who are Interested in any of the state
institutions of any character. to do your
utmost to aid In working out economical
plans for the construction and manage
ment of State institutions There Is lit
tie II any basis for the loose talk about
Wholesale eN. ravagauce and wholesale
waste In the management OF these
branches, at least, of the states bust
ness. The low per capita cost both OF
construction and OF administration Is a
sufficient reply to any such vague and
general misstatcments.
II am convinced, however. that n great
deal more can be done than has been
done in deyising economical types OF
construction, Ia utilizing the labor or
inmates IN certain classes OF inst'tu-
tons. in planning with a view to econ
ony in administration. In using the large
farms connected with the institutions to
far better advantage. and in promoting
ti,e exchange Of farm produce and man
ufac,ured articles not only as between
ins,i,u ions but as W different
classes of Institutions"
Mr.. Whitman pointed out thai the
necessity for enacting the widows PEN

S,b,e poor Law as a whole has meas.

lie amended to make II more elastic ans

SCHOOL CHILDREN
WORKING On FARMS
IN AUSTRIA HUNGARY

VENICE, March 31.-NeXt to war,
Austria-H Hungary is devoting her
greatest energies to agriculture. "If
we can only obtain sufficient labor
says the government, "the next harry
est is secured" Consequently every
thing possible is now being done TO
provide for the spring work on the
land. Tens of thousands of boys and
girls have been released from attend
ance at school; married women and
girls are being pressed into service,
and adult male workers are eagerly
sought after as are recruits for the
armies in the field.
By special decree the Austrian
Ministry of Education has directed
that in the country districts all chill
dren in the three higher grades, that
is OF twelve, thrice and fourteen
years of age, are to be excused from
school in order that they may work in
the fields or at home. The school au-
thorities are instructed to organize this
child labor in a systematic manner, So
| that the best results may be obtained
by employing them in districts where
help is most needed. They will be
formed into groups in sort of mill
tary manner, the elder boys acting as
under Officers. 1t is thought that this
will encourage the children in working
besides inspiring them with patriotic
sentiments.
Practically all country children have

WELSH REGIMENT.
ADOPTS THE LEEk
As OFFICIAL BADGE
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March Slater a Ions
dispute as to the comparative claims
of the red dragon, the leek and the
daffodil as the emblem of the new
Welsh addition to the Grenadler
Guards, the decision has been made in
half of the leek. This vegetable, de-
scribed by Shakespeare in Henry v.
as an honorable badge of service, has
been long associated with the Welsh
troops, and was worn recently by
Welsh soldiers in their caps on ST
David's Day.
Other points settled are that the
red dragon shall appear emblazoned
on the regimental colors, and the mot
to shall be "Cymdu am Byth," mean
ing Wales Forever" Wales is the
last section of the United Kingdom to
be honored by regiment in the Bril-
gade of Guards, whose duty it is to
guard the royal abodes in peace times.
England, Scotland and Ireland form
the other regiments.

graf Of twenty dollars each and will
do the same with harvesting machines
when the crops are ready.
The field work of last fall is said to
have been very satisfactorily perform
ed, and now it is hoped that by all
these expedients the problem of the
spring work will also be solved, 50
that in the end the next harvest will
not fall far below the average,
From the official reports of the vi
emma markets, it appears that many
of the most important articles of daily
food have more than doubled in price
since the outbreak OF the war, seven
months ago. Flour now costs eight

cents a pound, and dried peas eleven
cents, compared with four cents last
July. Split peas cost fifteen cents.
Lard costs forty cents a pound, which
is exactly double the price when the
war began. Eggs now sell at three
and four cents each, instead of two
cents. Beef costs anywhere from
twenty-six to thirty cents a pound, ac-
cording to the cut and pork from
twenty-four to forty cents. Horse
flesh, the consumption of which is now
steadily increasing, cannot be bought
for less than ten to sixteen cents a
pound, as compared with eight cents
last summer. Sugar has risen very

been brought up to work on the land,
and there are endless ways in which
they can be useful, from picking cat
erpillars aft the fruit-trees to guiding
a plough and a yoke of oxen. Farmers
declare that the modern plough is 50
lightly built that sturdy boy of twelve
years can quite easily work it. Then
as to the girls the little ones can look
after the babies at home, while the big
ger ones cook, and iron, and carry
meals to the workers in the field.
So many peasants have been called
to the army that there is very little
adult male labor left in the rural dis
tricts. And the few men whro are
there show no great inclination to go
to work, and so far have steadily re-
fused to enter into the usual contracts
for harvest work hoping by waiting to
get considerable higher wages. The
land owners are furious and threaten
that the government will compel them
to work when the time comes. And as
a matter of fact the state has already
empowered local authorities to orce
able-bodied men of all classes to work
in the fields in case of necessity, for
wages at the current rate IN the dis
trict.
In addition to securing all the labor
possible, the government is doing its
best to encourage the use of machinery
on the farms. The Ministry of Agri-
culture has already agreed to subsi-
die seed-sowing machines with a

little, costing now eight or nine cents
a pound, scarcely half cent more
than before the war.
Bread however has gone up consid-
erably and costs now from four to six
cents a pound. The quality is miser
able, as it contains only fifty per cent
of -four the remainder being a mixture
of corn, barley and potato meals.
Petroleum is quoted at eighty cents
gallon, as compared with twenty-six
cents last July; and soft coal has
risen in the past week to $40 ton.
Both these, and especially coal, are,
often difficult to obtain at any pric ,,
owing to the lack of transportation.

CH|VALRY IS NOT
DEAD EVEN NOW

FRANKFORT, Germany, March 3l'--
Chiyalry still persists in modern war
fare. as is proved by the experience OF
. non-commissioned officer in BaoeA
regiment, who was wounded in the re-
cent fighting at LaBassee between the
Germans and the British. In one OF
the repeated charges by which the cell
ehrated brickyards changed hands so
otto, the non-commissioned officer led
his squad to within fifteen yards OF
tbe British trenches, where he fell
wounded by six bullets. His comrades
who were forced to fall hack to their
own trenches fifty .ards away, tried 10
carry off the body of their supposed
dead leader but were unable to do So
owing to the heavy firing. Twenty-four
hours later the British discovered that
the wounded officer was still alive and
called to him to come to their trenche
promising him good treatment, He was
unwilling to do so and instead raised
himself on his elbow and called to MS
friends:
Come get me. l don't waat to be a
prisoner of the English"
The Germans shouted TO the British
a request for permission to bring N
the wounded man; the British prom
ised not to shoot and two German sol
diers ventured boldly out of their
trenches, crossed the intervening space
and carried the wounded man back, MOI
shot being fired and both Brltlsr
and Germans joining in cheers, Tht
story is printed with approving com
meut in tie German papers.

MANY A PUZZLE
FOR WOMEN IN
GOLF TOURNEY
Prizes Finally Distributed
at Fox Hills, and Well
Divided, Too.

The generosity Of the Fox Hills Golf
Club in providing wealth Of prizes
and the rule OF the Women's Metro
politan Golf Association that no player
may take home two trophies brought
about perplexities in the one-day tour
nament yesterday in Staten Island.
Chief honors Of the day went to Mrs.
A. /. Calm, Of tue Century Country
Club. She led the field for the score
prize with o5 gross, setting a new
womens record FOR the course. She
decided to take tho special prize Of
fered for new record.
The next best gross score was OF,
made By Mrs. II. Reeve Stockton, OF
Plainfeld; Mrs. Lloyd Wimpfheimer, Of
Hollywood. and Mrs. A. \. Rossin, OF
Century. How 20 decide the tie was
another problem. for a special mixed
foursomes competition had been ar
ranged, and play-ofs were troublesome
under the circumstances. SO u was
decided 20 match the cards against
boyle. and Mrs. Stockton became the
winner
Instead Of the usual solitary net
award. the club offered three, the first
going 70 Mrs. J. A. Mayer, OF Deal, with
g9-l2-87; the second to Mrs. Albert
Mcdonald, Of Plainheld, with lO3-l5--
SO, and tho third to Mira. Wimpfheimer,
with 97-5-92.
Concident with the medal round q
bogia competition was run of, and the
winner proved to be Mrs. Sidney We'll,
Of Fairview, who finished 8 down 20
the colonel.
A departure from the usual order Of
things was the mixed foursomes after
the Scotch style. members OF the clubs
offering themselves as partners for
each Of the women who took part. Only
nine holes were attempted, and in or
der 90 make the trip convenient the
play was over the first seven holes, the
tenth and the eighteenth.
One-quarter Of the combined handi-
caps were allowed, and after all Of the
puzzles Of tho day another tie re
suited. Miss H. Wolf and H. L. Wy
att. with 44-5-39, and Miss A. Al
laire and William " Richardson, with

The tournament was one OF the
larges. Of the season, no less than
sixty-four players teeing up Mrs.
Stockton had an excellent opportun-
ity TO lead the field. but she required
eleven strokes on the long thirteenth
hole. Mrs. Calm, who is now credited
with a women's competitive record

,SlOsson Gains on De Orc
in Three Cushion Tilt

OF stroke was better than on the open
ing night and he oyercame his propen-
sity 20 put too much English" on the
cue ball.
Al this stage Of the match. however
Slosson apparently became careless and
played so fast that he began 20 miss
frequently, a. tho same time leaving
the worries well set up for his rival.
De ORC, who knows no master when IL
comes 20 safety play, was quick 20 see
the yulnerability OF Slosson's style and
started 20 play safe, only going after
the points when success seemed certain.
The old balkline expert, on the con-
trary. was 30 anxious 20 Increase his
lead through the medium OF another
long run that he threw caution 20 the
winds and almost entirely neglected
safety play. De Orc cutting down his
lead steadily.
In the SEVENTEEN inning Slosson
played a deliberate safety. De ORC
Followed suit and then his opponent
again played safe. Coleman F. Madden,
the referee. thereupon announced that
Slosson had lost point under the new
ruling adopted last spring, which pen
allies two successive safeties.
Slosson did not seem 20 understand
the rule. which would have taken one
point off his total and added one 20
De Oro's. The latter gracefully de-
clined 20 take advantage Of the ruling,
however. and Slosson did no, lose a
point. although his opponent was cred
tied with an extra button.
In the two nights play De Orc to-
tailed 100 points and Slosson o. The
match will continue tonight. to-mor-
row and Friday. with every indication
that II will be hard fought 10 the end
owing TO Slosson's improved form
