WOMEN IN CHURCH
WILL START FIGHT

ATLANTA, Ga, April 22.-The wo-
men of the Methodist Episcopal church
are going to take an active hand in pol
itics in the future, but not as advocates
Of suffrage, although numbers of them
are, no doubt, individual champions OF
the na,lot for women.
As an organized body they are going
to campaign for the enactment and en-
ICfcerIent OF legislation to carry out a
social service program which they
adopted yesterday at the closing ses-
sion in this city of the Woman's Mis-
sionary Council of the Methodist Epis-
Copal church, South. There was some
tendency among conservative member.
Of the council to oppose the adoption
Of the program on the ground that it
involved participation in politics, but
the forward-looking element was yery
largely in the majority when the mat
ter came to vote.
The program adopted by the council
Has a direct bearing on laws already
eaacted or under discussion, in prac-
tically all the Southern states. The
principal items of the program are:
First, uniform vital statistics laws
in all states; second, the abolition Of
child labor by enactment of uniform
laws; third, abolition of illiteracy b.
enactment of compulsory educational
laws; fourth, establishment of iuven-
lis courts; fifth, censorship of motion
pictures; sixth enforcement of the fed
eral anti-narcotic law and enactment
aid enforcement of laws against intox-
icants and cigarettes; seventh, estab,
lishment of state institutions for the
teeble-minded; eighth, adjustment of
recognized and segregated vice, and
compulsory reports to health boards Of
Venereal diseases; ninth, prison reform
aid abolition Of convict leases and con-
Wet labor; tenth, cultivation of a bet
ter understanding between the races.

Mr.. PERRY NOW OCCUPIES
NEW HOME ON JACKSON ST.

Mr.. ]. R. Perry and family are now
pleasantly domiciled in their new
hcme on Jackson street, next door TO
the Presbyterian church. Before re-
moving from their home on Lee
street into the present one, Mr.. Perry
had put it through thorough course
of remodeling. Inside and out it has
been painted and renovated, so that
now it is one of the most desirable
AID attractive homes in the city.
Mr.. Perry has been a citizen of
Americas for forty-two years and
when he came here the land on which
his house now stands was the center of
big corn field. Thus time passes,
and Americas "do" grow.

CRISIS IN SULPHUR IN
ITALY BY GOVERNMENT

ROME, April ga crisis in the
ST. lphur production of the mines of
Italy has become subject of grave
concern to the government. This
trouble is partly due to the increase
in recent years of the American mine
production, partly due to the increase
in recent years of the American mine
production, partly to a reduction in
the output through technical mining
difficulties, and party to the lack of
manual labor. The whole of Italy's
product averages 2 ga million long
tons, with the mines of Sicily consider
ed the richest With the price of sui
phur increasing from $11 ton in
1895 to nearly 500 in 1914, the output
il the latter year fell below that of
1895, being but 1892 long tons, the
lowest output in a period of 81 years.
In the same year the United States
product almost equalIed that of Sicily
it being 327,634. tons valued at So
954,236.

JEWS GET CHANCE
ON AGRICULTURE

BREST-LITOVSK, Russia, April %.
For almost the first time in history
of the Jews this district have an op-
portunity to show whether or not they
can become agriculturists.
When the Russians evacuated this
city and set it on fire they took with
them many thousands of the Jewish
population. Great numbers died, 9th
ers kept on ahead of the retreating
Russians, and still others hid in the
woods and then, penniless and hungry,
streamed back into Brest-Litovsk
again.
For time the Germans attempted
to house them in the ruined city. But
they have all now been sent out to
abandoned farms, where their work is
regularly inspected by German offic-
ials. Every possible assistance is Civ
en- them in the hope that they may
raise good crops and do their share
toward helping out the need in Poland.
The land in this section is fertile, and
with proper cultivation and care
should bear big crop.
The city of Brest-Litovsk itself still
remains the next thing to city of the
dead. Five sixths or thereabouts of its
houses are nothing but gaping walls
within which stand only the remains
of the remarkable Russian stoves
which stand even after chimneys
crumble and fall.
The Germans stationed in Brest
have done wonders in cleaning up the
city. Each ruined house has been
thoroughly gone over. The debris has
been removed or neatly piled up, and
each object not tterly destroyed by
fire and which is still disable in one
way or another has been rescued.
The forts, which the Russians blew
Up with dynamite and which were val
ued at three hundred million francs
approximately $6O,O0OOOO) are still
heaps of cement and stone, broken
ard crumbling There is no activity
observable that would indicate that
the Germans are attempting to restore
the Notifications for their own pur-
poses.

At ANTA IN FOR ANOTHER
FIGHT ON COMMISSION

ATLANTA, Ga, April 22.-Atlanta
is in for another commission govern
ment fight that will stir the city from
center to circumference. The call for
charter reform that was sounded by
Mayor Woodward a few days ago in a
message to general council mas been
taken up by the newspapers and prom
inent citizens who have long advo-
Gated a change in the form of munich
pal government and already the clans
are gathering for the fight.
Within the last five years Atlanta
has been through several hard-fought
struggles involving fundamental
changes in the charter and each time
the advocates of reform have been
put to route by the office-holders and
politicians, who have a well entrench-
ed organization that bitterly resents
ard resists any semblance of an at
tempt to separate them from their
hold on the city government.

COUNTRIES To ACT
ON TARIFF MATTER

LONDON, April 22.-The recent tar
if agitation, growing out of the move
ment to cut off Germans trade activ-
jties after the war has been checked
by the announcement of Prime Min
lister Asquith in Parliament that the
conferences of the Allies going on at
Paris would not deal with customs af-
fairs, these being left for government
al action by each country. 1t had been
expected that the conference would
take advisory action, in line with the
recent movement of British Chambers
OF Commerce, for tariff giving spec
ial advantages to trade among the AL
lies and Colonies, reasonable conces-
sions to neutrals, and a solid wall
against Germany But the premier's
announcement is taken to mean that
While joint action against Germany is
open to discussion, each country must
be left free to form its own tariff
laws without any commitment on a
tariff scheme devised at a conference.
The London Morning Post, one of the
most active in the recent agitation,
urges that the Prime Minister'S an
ouncement arraigns the political
against the business interests, and
that the latter should press forward
their movement.
1t says: with a tariff wall round
the British Empire we shall be in a fit
losition to come to terms with our
friends and to defend ourselves
against our enemies. These questions
are urgent and burning: they have
been raised in practical and pressing
form by the exigencies of war. We
believe it to be true that we must set
tie them or perish There is every
sign that the country now desires pro-
lection. No Free Trader dare stand up
and say in the face of the lessons of
this war, that our present system of
free imports shall be continued They
all make concessions to opinion, and
many of our best Free Trade business
men have been ashamed to announce
their change of mind. 1t is the Free
Trade politician who remains stub
bern and unconverted. We are GER
tain that the producers should be able
to place before that able but some
what elusive politician convincing
proofs of the justice and the power of
their cause. There is no time to be
lost; if our industries do not dig them
selves in now they may be overwhelm-
ed by the new dangers of peace"

WAR CAUSES FAVORS IN
THEIR COLLEGE COURSES

VIENNA, April 22.-Thousands of
university students who are serving
at the front have just learned that the
Austrian ministry of education has de-
cided to grant them special privileges
il. the way of shortening their college
comse. IN the faculties of philosophy
and law the men will be allowed t.
count their time at the front as uni
versity year But as for medical stu
dents the authorities say the RESPONSE
Lllities of doctors to the community are
too serious to be lightly dealt with, and
so these students cannot be credited
with time like their fellows in other
departments. But through more in
tensive lecture courses and possibly
beipg permitted to take their examina-
tions a little sooner, the medical stu
dents will be given some compensation
for their army work. Their situation
is the harder on account of the compe-
titlon of the women students who have
remained at home, pursuing their reg
Hlar studies and so gaining on their
male colleagues of the same class.

Z TERE are three OF my models FOR tie coming
RI season that will show few of the fashion
tendencies. reserve for my page next
week a much fuller description.
Note the tea dress shown In the larger photo

sleeves and the long train. The dress itself is OF
white tulle with border OF blue and silver lace
The flowers on this dress and in the hair are in
shades OF old blue. rose and green. The long coat
is of wolfe. bordered and piped with Saline. An
old blue belt goes around the waist.
Next Is the charming little. simple dress-one
that is always good" This is OF two shades Of
chiffon. The bodice and body Of the skirt are OF
the paler shade and the hem and the belt darker
The plpings are OF Saline. and the flowers OF the
neck are IN dark shades Of gray, green and purple,
with brilliant citroncolored leaves.

Members of Prison Board
Have Difficulty in Find
ing Right Man for Post,
Although Many Applied.
NO PRESENT OFFICE
HOLDER TO BE NAMED
Positions of Guards Open to
Aspiring Democrats, but
Few Seem to Be Looking
for That Kind of Work.

The selection of the new warden of
the state penitentiary is proving to be
one of the most difficult tasks of the
incoming Democratic administration
No man has so far been decided upon
for that office. The successor to War
den Shook will be named by the new
board of prison commissioners COM
posed of Governor Alexander, Secretary
of State elect w. r. Dougherty and
Attorney General-elect T. A. Walters
Before the old board passes out of
loffice, it is understood that Warden
fSnook will tender his resignation, but it
IL announced he will remain at his
Ipresent post until his successor has
been named, qualities and becomes ac-
Huainted with his duties.
j. sHERIFFs-ELEcT BARRED.
There have been several prominent
democrats over the state mentioned
ISor the office, but number of them
tare sheriffs- ELECT and the governor
has taken the stand that an official
detected to office should serve and not
Iexpect appointment from the state ad-
ministration. One of the prominent
lsheriffs- elect mentioned is F. M. Ken
dali of Twin Falls county. 1t is said
that were 1t not for the fact Sheriff
Kendall had been reelected sheriff
he would be among the men most
likely to secure the wardenship ap-
pointment.
There have been a number of other
prominent Democrats mentioned as
prospective timber, among them being
State Game Warden Jones, former
ahnriff Of aJe
said that County Commissioner Nc
Bride of Bonner county is among sew
cral prominent Democrats of the north
who might consider the appointment If
1t is rendered him.
FEW APPLY FOR GUARDS.
The appointment of a warden, how
ever, is not the only problem that the
penitentiary presents. There arc be-
tween 10 and 10 guards there who will
probably be replaced but there does not
seem to be a land office rush on the
part of Democrats to apply for these
positions. In fact, there appears to
be very few of these places in demand.
Time is growing short and there is an
opening, it is said on excellent author
fly, for Democrats who desire posi-
lions of this kind.
In his biennial report Warden Shook
will show that the prison population
has increased 4S during the past year.
There were PSI prisoners received and
s31 discharged during the biennium
while SO were paroled. No less than
80 per cent of the paroled prisoners
made good. The warden will recon-
mend an opropriation of 1000 by the
next legislature for maintenance and
$25oe for improvements as we'll as ad-
ditional employment for the prisoners
who cannot be worked on good roads
,r at the penitentiary farms.
