FIVE NEW WAR HOS
PITFALLS AT BUDAPEST

Venice. April 19-One of the
finest of the new war hospitals
which have sprung into being all
over Austro-Hungary during the
past eight months, is the Zita Kur-
haus in Budapest. 1t consists of ~
wards, each a separate building.
The site is large tract Of land on
the edge of the city. formerly the
property of Bulgarian truck farm
ers.
The whole enterprise, originally
designed to house the incoming flood
of Polish refugees, was completed in
three weeks. and che Hungarians
point with great pride to this &C
complishment of their engineering
experts. I'm peace times" they say,
! "such a work of construction would
have taken at least six months"
In the center of the Kurhaus
grounds there are extensive gardens,
in which sine remarkable tree
planting has been done.
The Kurhaus accommodates over
$500 patents. II has been hlled
from the start. No unframed
nurses are employed, but volunteer
workers, many of them women of
social prominence in Budapest, are
used in the kitchens and offices. The
Countess Telecki for instance, has
acquired a considerable reputation
for her work at the pastry machines,
and one of the most popular pastries
in Hungary is now known as the
Telecki plum-tart.

CHALK MINES PLANTED
WITH VEGETATION TO HIDE
:. :. :. THE TRENCHES

llavre, April 19-An ingenious
use of the arrival of spring is be-
ing made by gardeners in the trench
es in the chalk districts of France.
1t has always been very difficult to
conceal the exact line of the trench
es in this district, because the white
chalk was laid bare wherever the
soil was disturbed. The gardeners
are now being employed to sow the
chalky ridges with mustard and
other small seeds. These seeds, be-
ing very small, gather in the sur
face of the chali- and quickly cover
them with vegetation.

Municipal

While there are severs. cities Ill

eminent there is only one which mas
tried the city manager plan. Lane
land had a city manager. but after
ono wear of service he was released
The following correspondence ap-
neared in the St. Petersburg Times
under a Lakeland date line:
Although the charter under which
tho business and municipal anairs
of this city are conducted, provides
for a manager, there is no manager
He was released on January l. aitei

eight thousand people, has been I'M

government, such as in vogue in the
successful and growing and thrlV-

This state of affairs is purely ac-
cidental That is, the method oi
conducting the city's affairs came
about in an accidental manner
When the city manager was releas-
ed and he was an expert in his line
too. there was no one to take MS
place. Now the people and taxpay'
ers are glad of 1t. After the ser
vices of the manager had been dis

in number, agreed among themselves
to look after the several depart

been so eminently successful that Il

COLLEGE GIRLS IN NO
HASTE TO MARRY
New York, April 17-Does the
college girl marry?
If not, why not?


college girl marry?
If not, why not?
The newest follower of St. Paul
to raise these questions and to an
swer them in the-woman-did-it-Lord
tone of voice is Prof. Robert j.
Sprague, of the Department of Econ
omics and Sociology in the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College. Quoth
Prof. Sprague safely the other day:
college girls are not greatly
sought as mates to share in the worn
of getting a living and founding a
family, because they are not prepar-
ed psychologically and technically
for the jobs of cooking, sanitation,
nursing and embarrassing.
How do you know" some skec-
teal alumna doubtless asked the
professor.
Back he came with the response
that from statistics from four we'll
known women's colleges" the aver
age number of alumnae who marry
is less than SO per cent, and that
for every graduate there is an aver
age Of less than half child.
And what is the logic with which
the professor accounted for the
minus marriages and the fractional
child? He found 1t in a catalogue
of Wellesley College. He pointed
out solemnly that out of ia profes
sors and instructors 100 were WON
en-. Out of the 100 women SO were
unmarried.
This" he DEGRADED with finality
"does not enable the girls to ge
the right attitude of mind towart
home life and motherhood. How
much better it would be If these 81
women instructors were married ant
had families"
Wherein Prof. Sprague and tn
New York Board Of Education do no
agree, proving that there is NOR
than one kind of pedagogical Bur
bon.
But it is really true that the cir
in the cap and gown aslo wears
sandwich board inscribed mo Inten
lions, Matrimony?" Personally,
never knew one so encountered. Blu
! decided to consult person o
wider experience, and I selected Mrs
Charles Austin Bates, for severa
years president of the College Won
ems Club and graduate of the frs
college founded for women in thu
Middle West.
ION just what standards do you
find the college woman lays empha
sis?" / asked.
"She insists on the single STANDARD
of morality" replied Mrs. Bates
"She will not recognize any neces
sity for the existence of double
standard. She will remain unmar
ried rather than accept as her hus
band a roue, a man with past
Why? Because she has been educat
ed to know that sort of man is no
the one she wants for the father o
her children.
Mentally, the college woman de
mands an equal, If not a superior.
And the clever man is beginning
to appreciate the clever woman
Really, the stupid girl has no chanc
nowadays. Even If a man takes he
in to dinner he forgets all the man
ners his mother taught him an
turns away to the clever girl on tn
other side. And when it's Ques
tion of matrimony he marries wha
he thinks is the brightest. clever
est, most cultivated girl of his ee
quaintance. If he wants to cook h
hires one: he doesn't find it neces
corv m wod her"

Profit On Their Birds.

Meridian ranchers will furnish
their share and more OF the birds
for the public's Thanksgiving Day
dinner this year over $1,000 was
paid out for turkeys shipped from
here this week. in addition to those
raised in this Vicinity and kept for
home consumption or sold earlier to
buyers from Nampa and Boise
II A. Shellenberger OF the Boise
Valley Cooperative Creamery com
pany and George Deck of Meridian

shipped from here. The old livery
barn on lower Broadway was ntiliz-
ed as a receiving station and dozen
men were employed there dressing
and packing the birds in crates for
shipment.
Ranchers were paid Ia or Is cents
per pound this year, and it Is esti-
mated that the 1000 turkeys in the
car loaded here the past week aver
aged $500 apiece in returns to the
growers. The shipment from here
was sent to the Spokane market.
Buyers state that turkeys are more
plentiful this year, not only around
Meridian, but throughout southern
Idaho, than in previous years and
that there should be no scarcely OF
them any place in the northwest on
Thanksgiving Day.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES
(Rev. R. q. Williams, Pastor.


The indication of storm last Sun
day night proved the degree or sem
STIFFNESS the long period of good
weather effected. A mere indication
of storm will not scare folks from
lattending church service after they
have gotten accustomed to a sea-
soning period Of winter The large
attendance Of young people, however,
made up for the absence OF some old
err folks.
The young people, upon the sug-
gestion OF the PASTOR met at the par
sonage Tuesday evening to consider
the advisability Of beginning a week
ly study-class for the winter period.
There was a good attendance and a
social time enjoyed as well as fav-
orable decision reached concerning
| tie proposition. The first meeting will
be at the. parsonage next Tuesday
night to which all young people who
might be interested are cordially In
vited. The subject TO be studied will
be: Wesley and the events OF his
life, relative to the origin OF the
Methodist denomination.
Don't be afraid OF meeting with a
cold atmospheric welcome in the
church when the weather tempera-
tire Is uninyiting without That con-
dition has been remedied. Now there
Is warm welcome for all, void of
the smoke element
The indication Is, the new finan-
cial system is to meet with a favor
able response. The treasurer is also
systematic. He's proving himself a
choice selection
The union Thanksgiving service
for next Sunday night has been fully
announced. The regular service of
preaching of the Methodist church
will be dispensed for the occasion
There will be the regular Epworth
League service, and Sunday school
and preaching in the morning. The
theme for the morning will be: THE
True Doctrine of Predestination, or
the Divine Selection" A cordial well
come is offered.

What would the Christian churches

Would they be force for good,
Or would they be but stone or

II all went meetings just like you,
How many s'pose there'd be to go?
Would there be just one seat,
Or would the number be complete?
II all gave just the same as you
Would the church its mission do?

The matter comes direct to you.
