TEUTONIC WOMEN
 TALK BIRTH RATE

Correspondence of the Associated Pless)
 Vienna, Austria. June 16.-Almost obscured by the tremendous military events, the leading women of Ger many, Austria and Hungary, assembl- ed at tho ninth convention of the As sociatipn of Austrian Women's or ganizations, have been busily attack ing after-the-war problems and lay ing plans for their work in the fu ture.
 Hardly noticed by the general pub lie. feminine leaders of three coun tries, spent three days interchanging views, discussing the manifold pub lie questions and of determining what their part shall be in the up- building of their states when peace comes.
 Frau Mariaana Hainisch, Bertha Suttner's successor as president of the organization, was the chairman of the convention.
 The retrogression in the birth rate was one of the first problems dis cussed and the women attacked the laws which make celibacy compulsory for women in public cffice. It was unanimously agreed to work for the abolition of existing rules and laws and for the creation Of laws doing away with the "celibacy clause"
 Considering how the housewife may become economically more valuable, the delegates discussed and approved measures which shall result in Of- fical, recognition of the work of the housewife as a calling just as other kinds of work, and that in conse- quence of such recognition the state may be induced to further housewife efficiency along definite lines.
 The convention approved enthusi- |'astically the creation of obligatory domestic school courses for girls be- yond public school age, the introduc- tion of educational courses for the care of children in girls schools. and enrolment in them of girls who have outgrown school age, and the much discussed one-year service for women to correspond with the military ser vice demanded of all men. The delegates discussed and ap- proved the creation of organizations of women, the object of which shall be to teach women how to raise do mestic animals especially the smaller kinds, and shall instruct them syste- matically in vegetable and fruit gard ening.
 A suggestion to increase greatly the present number of women factory in speters,. and other measures in the general interest of feminine health were approved and the association
 went on record as favosing any effort l that has as it's ohjet the freeing o1 ] women from the bondage of fashion.'

WOMEN'S VOTES
 MAY ELECT THE
 NEXT PRESIDENT
National Suffrage Associa- tion Advises Candidates to
 Look Out for the Women.

Lookout for the women in the ap- preaching presidential election! This is the advice to the politicians of the National American Woman Suf- frage association. Some of the off cers of the association have been com piling statistics about previous cleo tions. They have discovered that at least six presidents of the United States were elected by a smaller num- Der of votes than those which woman suffrage states will control in the next electoral college.
 In round numbers, there will be at least 4,O00,000 women eligible to vote in the presidential election next Mo- vember. The statistics are based on the census of 1910, which estimates the female population above 21 years in the voting states at 3,666, ,445. By computing the increase during the last five years at one-half, the ap- proximate female population at the present time is estimated to be A. 4O0,114.
 The states now having woman suf- frage will cast upward of 90 votes in the next electoral college. Statistics show that Presidents Adams, Jeffer- son, John Quincy Adams, Taylor, Hayes and Cleveland were elected by a majority of 37 votes or less. In other words, in six presidential cleo tions the nations chief executives were elected by a smaller number of votes than the woman suffrage states now control.
 In 1796 John Adams defeated Thomas Jefferson by two votes. In 1900 Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr each received 173 votes. The choice then devolved upon the house of Representatives, where Jefferson received the votes of 10 states, Burr four and two voted blank.
 In 1924 none of the candidates for president received enough electoral votes to elect, and the choice again devolved upon the house of represen- tatives, when John Quincy Adams was chosen by the votes of 13 states; An drew Jackson received the votes oi seven states, and w. H. Crawford the votes of four states.
 In 1886 no candidate for vice presi- dent received a majority of the votes l of the electoral college, the election devolving upon the senate, which elected R. N. Johnson by a vote o1 B to 16, his opponent being Francis Gayner. As the vice president would succeed the president in the event o1 the presidents death or impeachment the election was potentially as signi. ficant in respect to the importance o1 a few electoral votes as an election

-uoo III ql!eJ GI1e7 s!V uopueqe ol science existence after death in q celestial city of God, throughout a never-eAding eternity.
 The founder of Levelism Insists that there is nothing of historic value in religion that cannot be explained on a basis of natural law, ill which the divine has no part whatever. He says that there is but one kind of life, and that is natural. and the diff ference between the life of a man, a tree, an animal and a locomotive is one of degree and not of kind. When the body dies, there can be no personal conscious existence in some mysterl- ous, attenuated spirit world, and the doctrines of orthodox Christianity are confronted with ilsuperable ob- stacles when careful, conscientious study is made of them. tF Sponsored. by u former head of the Episcopal diocese of Arkansas, these amazing doctrines will undoubtedly attract much comment and discus sion in the orthodox press and pulpit

"Three-quarters of tn, privately owned land of Mexico is owned by persons outside of Mexico. Absentee landlordism, as with Ireland, has been the great cause of Mexican un- rest"
 This is the statement of Luis Bossero, Mexican citizen now in the United States, who is sometimes call ed the mouthpiece of Carranza, but who denies that he has any official connection with the de facto govern ment of his country.
 "The great source of Carranza' $ strength is his program for restoring Mexican land to the Mexicans," says Bossero. "Ask any revolutionary soldier what he is fighting for and he will answer, For my land
 "While large tracts of Mexican land have always been held in feudal ownership by political favorites, it ras only under Diaz that alien own- ership became source of oppression and it was then that the so-called community lands, held by each will lage for the use of all, were broken up and appropriated.
 "These lands were generally seized by judicial chicanery, aided by Diaz soldiers. Left without land of his @1Rn to cultivate. the Mexican was

forced to work for the foreign cor poration for a few cents day or to starve or turn bandit.
 "Carranza's land program, an- nounced a year ago, is as follows: There will be no confiscation, but an equitable distribution of the lands which the government still possesses, a restoration of tracts of which com munities have been illegally dis possessed. As the constitution per- mits no special privileges, all lands whether in use or not and whoever may be the owner, will be subject to a proportional tax upon just re- valuation.
 "Mexicans have learned their best lessons from the United States We have closely copied your constitution and we revere Lincoln, who com- pleted the freedom of your country anl who saved Mexico from the threat of Austrian intervention. Your slogan is America for the Americans.' Ours is Mexico for the Mexicans.'

or the demobilized troops into the in- terior makes 1t difficult to combat the spread of the disease.
 Ihe remarkable feature of the enj oemlc Is the reliance that is being placed upon the efficacy of one of the sacred ikons, or images of Christ The lKon or St. Barbara of Nicomedia. in Asia Minor, has been brought with ev- cry pomp and circumstance from tbe ancient church of the convent or Daphni, near Athens, and set up in the Church or Chryssospiliotissa, in the quarter where the smallpox is taking its heaviest toll.
 All morning, during the transporta- tion or the holy ikon, the bells of every cnurch Tn Athens and the Piraeus toIIed at regular intervals The processjon crept. afoot. along the sun-na rchsd road that for five miles lies shade1sss across the Attic p1ain-the ancient
 sacred way" so graphically described oy Cnateaubriand. The black robes or the priests were slowly whitened hv the dust and little streams of sweat made irregular lines down the gray races of those who formed the cortege bearing the sacred image.
 The belief in the efficacy of tba ,ror Of Saint Barbara is very profound among the simpler Greeks. Especially IS this true of the artillerymen and fire. men, whose patron saint St. Barbara. is venerated not only in Greece but in other countries as we'll where her day is celebrated on December f. St. Barbara was virgin martyrized in 235 A. D.. ouring the prosecutions which charac- terized the brief reign of the Roman Emperor Maximin; or, according to an other version. her head was cut off by her own father who had failed to per- suade her to renounce Christianity. in the year S06. under the Emperor Ga- 1erius
 Still further evidence of the belief in the power of ikons is seen in the prep- arattons for the annual pilgrimage to the shrine of the Virgin of Tinos which will be made on August 29. It is a belief current among the ordinary Creeks that the virgin saved the life or King Constantine I last year when he lowered between life and death aft CT an operation at the hands of two ia nous German surgeons. At a time when hope had practically been given up 1t was decided to bring the sacred ikon of the Virgin of Tinos to the bed : side of the sovereign. All along the entire route peasants gathered and knelt at the roadside as tho sacred image passed; and a minister in the sntcchamber of the royal palace marked on special map the progress of the procession. while outside the palace thousands of humble Greeks gathered, many weeping with hysterical emotion.
 Finally the image arrived and was

MEXICAN ELECTION
 WILL BE HELD ON NEXT SUNDAY
These Have Been Postponed From Time to Time on Account of Internal
 Trouble in Nation

Juarez, Mexico, August 15.-(Correspon- denee of the Associated Press).-Through- out all Mexico, except in the capital where civil disturbances have caused short postponement. municipal elections will be held on Sunday, September S-a fact of more than ordinary importance for it marks the first step in return to civil control and an advance toward democratic government in the country.
 Municipal elections, in the Mexican sense, are not city elections, as the ''municipio" is district of a state anal agous to the American county. The large cities are. however, separate municipios' But neither they nor the country dis tricts have ever in Mexican history en- loved home rule Power for the various districts to manage their local affairs was granted by the reform law of Decemb CT, 1914 But First Chief Carranza has only now decided that the republic is suffi- ciently pacified to permit the experi- ment
 The second step in restoring civil gov ernment follows at date yet to pc announced, when governors and state leg islators will be chosen. The final act will be the balloting for President, judges of the supreme court, senators and mem bers of the chamber of deputies.
 Although enemies of the Carranza ad- ministration, such as the adherents or the Diaz regime, have not had the narui- hood to put tickets in the field, the constitutionalist party has It's 1actions and It's conflicting ambitions.
 In Juarez the factions are represented in two clubs. One Is named after the Indian patriot, Benito Juarez. The other, in reference to the Madero uprising. calls itself the Club Renacimeniento 191o-the rebirth of 1910. They have agents at work and frequent meetings in the theatre, quite like party organizations in the United States.
 Educational reforms, covering not only free elementary instruction for all, but establishing schools of industries and fine arts are given first choice In the Juarez club platform.
 A curious demand is for the restora- ton of the old free trade zone-a strip along the Mexican side of the border where all foreign prooucts used to enter free. This was abolished over 20 years ago at the demand of the merchants or Zacatecas and other trade centers Of those times The programme states that all the tariff ever did was to kill busi- ness in Juarez by driving its merchants to Fl Paso.
 The national issues taken up in the later elections will include agrarian re- form, realing with the distribution of land among the peons and the division of the old land grants. Equalized taxes public education, the one-term rule for all elective office holders and a genuinel separation of executive and judiciary. byl which political pressure will be removed from the courts, have also been indorsed in one form or another by most Of theI political clubs in Mexico.

Bank Deposits Increase

Washington, August 25.-Deposits in postal savings banks Of the United States increased more than 51 per cent in the year following the outbreak of the European war. At the close of 1915 fiscal year deposits aggregated $65,- 684,T0S, and depositors numbered 525.- 414, making an average of more than S125 for each depositor. The postal savings system was inaugurated Janu- ary 8. 1911, under Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock of Massachusetts,

Millions of Shoes Being
 Made for Allied Armies

London. August 2S.-orders for 2e,- 100000 pairs of shoes for the British Eervian. French, Russian, Italian and Belgian armies have been received by British manufacturers since the out break of the war.
 One-fourth of tho total, or more than 100000 pairs a week, have been alone supplied by the workmen of Northampton, the chief seat of the Eng fish shoe manufacture, an hours train ride northwest of London. The manu- facturers of this place are turning out . second insta1lment of S,000,000 pairs of footwear for the Russians, this time boots known as the Cossacks.
 Owing partly to their preoccupation with army contracts, partly to deple- ton of their staffs of male operatives, and partly to restrictions imposed by the government on the disposal by tam ners and merchants of leather suitable for army purposes, boot and shoe man. ufacturers are finding considerable diff ficulty in supplying the demands of the civilian market.
