Russians Wait For
Floods To Subside
Activity at Present Confined to
Strengthening Positions In the
Carpath ans

Petrograd, April 21.-Apparently
the Russians everywhere have sus-
pended the offensive until the spring
floods subside and conditions are
more favorable for maneuvering.
In the Carpathians their activity
will for some time be restricted to
the Notifications and extension OF
the new positions tsey have occupied.
At present the chief center of the
conflict is along the Stryj Munkacs
road, which forms the pivot of the
Russian forward movement. In futile
attacks along this route the enemy
suffered immense casualties. They
many times exceed those borne by
the cars armies. Altogether the
losses Of the Austrians and Germans
during the last attempt to roll back
the wave Of the Russian invasion
must have amounted to several hun
dred thousand men.
Vienna, via London, April 21.-The
war office today issued the following
official communication:
The enemy has discontinued his at
tacks against the most important sec.
tons in front of our positions which
protect Ondewa, Laborcza and the
ing valley.
In the wooded mountains between
Laborcza and the ing valley the
enemy again attempted, despite heavy
losses to break through by advancing
against our extreme wings. This
caused severe fighting in the upper
Czircka valley near Nagypolany,
which lasted for several nights. The
Russians suffered severe losses in
killed and wounded. We captured
5000 unwounded prisoners.
The Uzsok pass is still in our pos
session.
Berlin, April 81. by wireless to
sayville, N. V Various dispatches
published in Berlin today announce
the complete evacuation by the Rus.
slams some days ago Of their posi-.
tons at Tarnow, in Galicia, 1876
miles west OF Lemberg. This was
done to avoid the effects OF the fire
OF the heavy Austrian artillery. Rus
sian soldiers come into Tarnow TO
make their personal purchases only
at night.

THE LIFE OF A MOVING
PICTURE ACTOR

There is a widespread and growing
impression among young people who
see moving pictures, that there is a
wide and easy opening door to for
tune as a motion picture actor.
John Bunny, said to be the most
popular screen comedian in the world
was few years ago playing a small
part in Way Down East" He
thought he could make good In mo.
tion picture acts, tried It out, and to.
day his face is familiar to every NOV
ing picture fan The big money he
and others have been getting look
easy to good many people. Mr.,
Bunny has been critically Ill for
some days, and the publicity being
given to his very remarkable career
will start a good may ambitious
young people along lie trJCk he tray.
ellsd with such marvellous success
The spectator imagines that most
of the films were taken in comfort
able steam heated studios, where
there are no greater hardships than
the voice of an active stage manager
Actually a great many OF them are
taken in conditions closely approx
mating TO the tragic and perllous con
ditions they are intended to portray.
An actor was drowned not long ago
while trying to enact a rescue In a
real river. Many of the fire and rail
road scenes must involve a good deal
OF peril to the players. So many OF
the plays are laid in wild life, that
taking these pictures is no affair of
the fats around New York There
must be many rough and arduous
jaunts over rough country.
A moving picture actor needs to be
a very versatile person, Not merely
must he be very clever In the almost
forgotten art of pantomine, but he
should be able to dance. swim, run

highly desirable) ride a bucking

TELEGRAPHY AS AN
OPPORTUNITY

Much used to be said about teleg-
raphy as a chance for young men to
earn good living. One hears less
to the same effect nowadays. Presi-
dent Newcomb Carlton of the Wes-
tern Union told the Commission on
Industrial Relations at Chicago a
few days ago that telegraphers are
underpaid lie said Morse tele-
grapher now gets 1923 week while
women get SIS, and he claimed that
good telegrapher should geet So
day.
1t was only few years ago that
writer in the Independent inter-
viewed lot of telegraph operators,
and found that they were earning
only low pay. One of them said that
his ambition would be satisfied when
he reached SIS a week.
Telegraphy calls for a certain quail
ity of mind not possessed by every
one, with accuracy, swiftness, fex-
ibility Of thought, and nervous poise.
Very heavy responsibility is placed
on many telegraphers, particularly
those in railroad work. Everything
considered, the wages paid are not
high for the service required.
Probably the payment is kept
down by the competition of women.
In due time as women enter CONNER
cial fields more thoroughly, this dis
parity will not exist so much If wo
men find themselves paid beneath
their real value, they will go into
enterprises on their own account and
will relieve the less skilled trades OF
the pressure of women applicants.
But for the present, telegraphy seems
~ be a field where women earn bet
ter pay than they can get as steno-
graphers and bookkeepers.
In the readiness and adaptability
of thought required in telegraphy,
women certainly excel men. Wheth-
err they would bear the serious re-
sponsibilities Of railroad telegraphy
we'll might be questioned. But
IN commercial work their alertness
and speed should make them super
Tor.
Young and ambitious men capable
of doing telegraph work can probably
enter more profitable employments.
Many women could better their po-
siuon by entering this field. The
telegraph is not likely to be super
coded by the telephone. For certain
definite messages 1t will always be
the cheapest method.

Britain S Force in
War Line 100000
Figures Given by Chancellor Cause
Surprise In England, Where Opinion
Was General That About Half az
Many Men Had Reached Front

London, April 21.-The British
expeditionary force in Belgium and
France, which at the beginning of
the war consisted of six divisions,
las been increased to more than
thirty-slx divisions or roughly speak
ing, 100000 men, according to a state
ment made by David Lloyd George,
chancellor of the exchequer in the
house of commons this afternoon.
The chancellor added that the place
OF every man who had fallen in bat
tie had been filed and that the army
was adequately equipped. But he re-
iterated the need for a greater sup
ply OF munitions, declaring that dur
ing the battle of Neuve Chapelle
more ammunition was used than in
the whole of the South African war,
which lasted nearly three years.
The interesting information also
was given that the output Of the mu-
milton factories had been increased
more than nineteenfold since the
outbreak of the war, but the call was
still for more, and as Mr.. Lloyd
George continues to hold the opinion
that consumption of liquor is inter.
fering with the work he promised leg
islation to deal with this matter.
German Attacks Repulsed
The figures made public by the
chancellor as to the size of the Brit.
ish army in France and the expendi-
ture of ammunition has caused great
surprise in England, where the opin.
ion has been general that about half
that number of men had reached the
front, especially as there has been no
sign of any decrease in the number
of khaki clad men training in this
country.
1t is likely that many OF the new
men have already been under fire,
as the Germans are making repeated
attempts to recapture hill 60, near
Ypres, which the British took on
Sunday and have, according to Field
Marshal French's report, been re.
pulsed with great loss.
Gain Made by French
The French official statement to-
night says of the fighting In the Ar.
COME:
Our gain OF the last few days thus
extends over continuous front OF

mile). The enemy left more than 800

FIND USE FOR
TREASURED FINERY

No longer are old laces and hand
embroideries stored away with law
ender in grandmother's cedar chest.
The practical woman OF today thinks
that romanticism in cedar chests does
not pay, and she is digging up such
treasured bits of finery and using
them in all sorts OF charming ways
for her own immediate benefit.
A real lace and sheer embroidery
handkerchief that was perhaps part
of "a trousseau will make pretty
collar and when applied to sheer lin
en- a set Of the smart turnback cuffs
or the entire wide border Of hand
kerchief can be used for rolling
collar. The material may have to
be cut bit to be shaped, but clever
stitching can do wonders. Exquisite
boudoir caps can be evolved with the
help of flowers and knots OF ribbon
from old lace handkerch.efs or the
larger kerchiefs.
Larger lace collars and berthas
are being used on blouses of net and
sheer linen or batiste. Now that
blouses are open in front 1t Is quite
possible to use some handsome old
piece OF lace without cutting 1t, as
the rolling collar can continue down
the front, or It can be used to form
a sort OF waistcoat popular equally on
thin gowns and blouses.
A charming little handkerchief
gown noticed recently had bertha

was arranged loosely in the front,
then fastened down under a dark
blue satin girdle and shaped below

wash buttons were used.

PRUNING THE YOUNG
TREE WHEN SET

The future usefulness of the or.
chard very largely depends on the
wisdom OF the man who prunes 1t
advises the Utah Agricultural Col
lege. Not only this but the actual
life of the newly set tree is depend
ent upon its being properly pruned !.
In the removal OF the tree from the
nursery the roots have been more
or less broken or bruised and in fact
the largest part of the root system
may have actually been left In the
nursery row. All the torn and the
bruised roots should be cut back leay-
ing a clean cut which will heal more
readily than ragged one. All the
long struggling roots should be short
ened back to about six or eight inch.
es from the trunk of the small tree
With the root system SO severely cut
back, the equilibrium or the balance
Of the tree between the top and the
roots has been very much upset. II,
In this arid climate, the trees were
left without pruning the top, many of
them would perish, due to the fact
that the very much abbreviated root
system would be unable to support
the unpruned top. Therefore, the top
of the tree must be pruned back to
enable 1t to withstand the shock of
transplanting. Not only is this to be
considered, but we desire to begin
the shaping Of the orchard tree at
this early date. The actual pruning
can be done after the tree is planted.
The head should be started low for
several reasons:s First, to prevent sun
scald. The low headed trees are
much more conveniently and cheap.

SPRING CULTIVATION TO
CONTROL ALFALFA WEEvIL

According to DR.. e. G.. Titus, head
of the Entomology Department of
the Utah Agricultural College, the
first crop Of alfalfa should be kept
growing as rapidly as possible SO that
1t will nearly or quite reach matur-
ity before 1t needs to be cut on &C
count of the injury by the weevil.
The difference of week or ten days
In the cutting of the first crop spells
success or failure. Thorough discing
or spring toothing as late In the
spring as possible will break up the
hard soil, divide the alfalfa crowns
and give the plant an opportunity
for growth several days earlier than
1t would receive under ordinary con-
ditions. This will also aid by kill
ing many OF the grasshopper eggs
and alfalfa butterfly pupae that are

GOLD DEPOSITS IN
AlLEGHANY

The mines in the Allegheny dis
trict, in the southwestern part of
Sierra county, California are of in
teTest not only on account of the eX-
IRENE richness of the ore, some Of
which may contain as much as 500,
600 ton in gold, but also because Of
the problems they offer in the study
of vein formation. The mines In this
section were visited by Henry G.. Fer
guson, of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, and his report has been
published BY the Survey as Bulletin
5s0-I.
The Allegheny district lies within
the Tahoe National Forest, but its
more accessible parts, though once
heavily timbered, have been almost
completely denuded. Difficulty OF &C.
cess has been serious handicap to
the mining industry. Nevada City,
the nearest railroad station, is 20
miles distant in an air line but about
40 miles by stage road.
This district was among those first

ouARReLs BETWEEN
PUBLIC MEN

The recent episode occurring when
ex-President Theodore Roosevelt anc
William H. Taft met as pail bearers
at n funeral has revived discussion al
to the personal relations OF these two
famous men. Accounts Of that par
ticular incident vary. Some report
ers have IL that the hand shake was
purely cool and formal while others
see enough warmth in 1t to suggest a
revival of their former intimacy.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt said
some severe things about each other.
But the capacity of public men for
overlooking the rough and tumble of
public debate seems marvellous to
the average man.
Ninety-nine out of hundred peo-
pie are too sensitive to criticism.
The moment anything Is said in the
local community adverse to their
personality, ideas, or manners, they
fiercely resent II as a malicious at
tack. H.i .,.
Yet there is very little personal
malice in daily life in either person
al or business relations. Criticism
Is the saving salt of life. Without 1t
private life would go stale and pub
lie life would be rotten with corrup-
ton.
Most public men soon learn to steel
themselves against ordinary person
al attack. They find out that they
can learn much more and gain much
more help from opponents than from
friends. The friends fiatter and con-
ceal criticisms. Their opponents re-
veal real weaknesses. A wise public
man notes these revelations of the
flaws in his own ideas and his own
record, and corrects his course to
meet them
Wherefore the feuds of public life
are far from lasting. A debate may
rankle with denunciation. Yet be
taken In Pickwickian sense.
The TaftRoosevelt row went deep.
Wounds Of former friends sink far.
But these two are big men. The
passing years soften many wounds,
and it's fair guess that they may
heal this one. There's something
wrong when two men can't differ rad.
ically on politics, and yet unite in
personal friendship.
