Europe Has Difficult Social
Problem as Result of
Continued War.

Vienna. Austria. Oct 96.-Whether
or not Europe will be obliged TO change
its marriage laws as the result of the
war, is question which has recently
occupied socioloeists in the central
states. Most of them are of the opin-
ion that material notifications must
ensUe; some think that localized p5lyE-
amy must be established in order to
provide for the surplus Of women
which two years Of warfare has made
one of the problems Of all Europe.
The total population OF the states
At war the nOn-Arian elements Of
Russia excepted, is roughly 373. 900. 900.
or -Which- according to best sources
lSN,oue,UoU are women and 1S5.0OU.r0O
men For the countries of Europe
where exact statistics are available. the
proportion is lo5 males TO 107 females.
For Europe this leaves in normal times
an excess Of 5000. 900 females of which
number = third would be manageable.
9.OOO,O0O to BE Provided For.
To this million Of women who at
present can find no husband for the
reason that nature. while ensuring an
excess in the birth of males permits
more. of them to die in infancy, viii be
added al least 100000 whom death on
the battlefield and incapacitating
wounds have also deprived of mates
Europe, therefore, is face TO face with
the question of how these 100000
women are to be cared for
At the conclusion of the 50 years
war. similar conditions prevailed. Il
was met in many Of the central Euro
pean states by making polyEamy legal.
When the proportion of males and fe-
males had been readjusted by the COM
ing Of later generations these laws
were repealed

FIVE-CENT LOAF OF BREAD

Plainview. Texas. Oct 26.-The five
cent loaf Of bread in Plainview Is no
more. Local bakers have raised the
price TO 10 cents increasing the size OF
the loaf TO 20 ounces. They say they
can bake the 10 cent loaf as cheaply
as the five cent loaf. the only difference
in cost in two five cent loafs and one
ten cent loaf being in the cost OF bak-
merly two Il ounce loaves eyre sold
for 10 cents. The high cost Of flour
and other breadstuff is the cause given
for the raise

DEATH TRACED
 TO EMBARGO
BRITISH REFUSAL TO ADMIT RUBBER GLOVES CAUSED
 DEATH OF MANY NURSES

NEW YORK, Jan. 6-"Papa" said che of my young sons to me to- cay as he counted up his Christmas treasures and missed one familiar name among those who had remenl- hered him; "papa, why did the English kill sister Emma?"
 Sister Emma," as she is known was known-in her beautiful walk of help and comfort (Emma Duen- sing, to give her the name under Nlhich she moved in the ordinary y,rold) was for a number of years one of the best known and most be- loved of New York's trained nurses.
 When in 1900 there was a call for
 urses for the American army in the Philippines, sister Emma re- sponded
 When the present war broke out Sister Emma felt that her eXper- fence laid upon her the duty of a. gain volunteering for work among the wounded. In September she sailed for Europe under the direc- tion of the American physicians ex- petition committee, as head nurse of a relief unit. Before the month was up on duty in the town of Op- pelin, Silesia, she had contracted infection from wounds of one of the soldiers she was attending and on November 5 she died.
 Her death was directly due to the fact that she was obliged to work without rubber gloves, which the British Government refused and which it still refuses to allow the American Red Cross to supply to it's workers in German lands,, rub Der being contraband of war.
 For several months Miss Mable Boardman, president of the Ameri- can Red Cross Society, had in vain endeavored to persuade the British Government to adopt a humane course.
 The English position (let it do it justice) is that "every pair of rubber gloves that goes into Ger many releases a corresponding quantity of rubber for automobile tires and other military necessities"
 'Rubber', said statement is ed by the British embassy at Washintgon on Christmas even, "is an article of great importance from a military point of view" Two or three hundred pairs of rubber gloves such as those the lack of which kill ed Emma Duensing would make an automobile tire.-W. B. Hale.

MIR. BUCHANAN'S CASE


 Representative Buchanan, Of H. inois, has formally demended the impeachment of United States Att tornay Marshall, of the district of New York, for his activity in the prosecution of offenders against the neutrality of the country. The federal attorney charges that the Labor's National Peaca Council, of which Buchanan was formerly pres ident and of which he was one of the organizers, is financed by Ger man money.
 Congress may aceede to MT. Blu chanan's request to investigate the activities of the federal district at torney. It might also and very prop erly investigate the charges against the society and MT. Buchanan's connection with it. If he organized End acted as president of a society financed by German money, which had for it's obpect the cripling of American industries, the propriety of his occupying Q seat in the American congress may very well be questioned.
 MT. Buchanan was for several terms president of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers Union of Chicago and served one term az president of the International Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.-- P.-I

for several hours. It was finally thought that they wanted our hors- es, and it was arranged to surrender them to the Indians if they would let us pass without further trouble, and when this was proposed by MT. Kirkland the Indians readily assented. The horses were then turned loose, and the Indians were compelled to follow us several miles before they coull catch them all.

Empson Can terrell was shot through the abdomen and after being shot asked my mother for fathers gun, which he snapped several times at the In dians, but it would no go off. He fingered in great agony until the following morning, when he died. My father was shot through the right lung, and lived until the even ing of the fourth day, when death relieved him of his terrible suffer- ings.
 The wagon that carried the show els and other implements, known as the "tool wagon,' was with the big train, and we had nothing with which to dig graves for the dead, nor did we care to stop to bury
 hem right away, as we were afraid of another attack from the Indians. Hence we carried the bodies until the third day after the attack, when .here was such a stench that we had to keep fires aroung the "dead wagon" to keep the wolves off. As the bodies had to be disposed of in some way, wooden spades were inn provised with which hole was dug and both bodies (Mr. Lake and Empson CantrelD were buried in it. We overlook the big train on the afternoon of the following day
 nd my father died about 10 O. clock that night, after having suf- fered untold agonies for four days, and begging many times to be kill ed and put out of his misery. We dared not stop and the jolting of the wagon was almost uncomfortable to him. He was buried on the fol- lowing morning near the emigrant road.

SLANG DECLARED PROOF
 OF MENTAL DEFICIENCY

Slang is convincing proof of the mental deficiency of its users" :" declared Dr. Carl c. Doney, presi- dent of Willamette University O. Oregon, at a convention of the State Teacher Association recently. He deplored the increasing use of it and urged the teachers to use their in- fluence to stamp out 'loose think ing and loose speech in America"
 He called attention to the "grow- ing inaccuracy of speech among ed ucated Americans"
 Language" he said, "is the man. We are merely what our powers of speech allow, for no matter how lofty or profound our ideas, they only equal our ability to express them.
 "The crowned heads of Europe are translating nobility into imbecil- ity, largely because as g class their minds are no longer employed, The test of an education is clear thought; accurate speech; culture, not for it's own sake, but for serv- ice.

phrases which catch each other up, as the spider sends out little threads to trap its prey. One word or look from one woman to another will "let the cat out of the bag"
 Now, man is not looking for any side of her nature but the side she chooses to set forth. It is woman who plans to make herself what man desires. If woman finds out t--zt a man likes domestic wem- an or bookish woman, she will rant and rave over the joys of home or the pleasures of reading, eventhough she detests them. But she cannot do this to a woman. One question as to how to make a cer- tain dainty or about a certain heroine will bring out the true woman.
 And so if man really wants to know his wife-to-be as she really $, he needs the help of sister, mother or a woman friend. He flight introduce all his male friends to her, and get the opinion that she is a "peach" or mighty nice," but when he introduces her to one woman he will get the truth. He will find out just what inc woman is and whether she is worth her weight in gold or nothing
 One nod or one wink from an- other woman would save many a man years of pain and suffering. If he gets approval of the woman he admires from another woman his married life is very apt to be ideal.

WHY MEN NEEDS WOMAN'S
 HELP IN CHOOSING WIFE
(Atlantic Monthly)

Woman understands woman. When one woman meets another woman, Greek meets Greek. There is a certain look, certain feeling that passes between them which man can never quite comprehend A woman can see another as plain ly as she can see her own image in the mirror.
 No sensible woman ever tries to fool another; she never poses be- fore another-for woman meet face to face! The woman who is ever foolish enough to try to pose be- fore another, or pretends she Is something entirely different from her natural self, is as foolinsh as q fly who tries to tango before a spiders web.
 But woman doesn't often try to pose before another of the fair sex any more than she tries to stand before a mirror and tell herself that her eyes are brown when they are blue. You can't wear gingham and pretend it is lawn, and you can't wear paste diamonds and pre- tend they are real. Neither can q woman paint her complexion or color her hair and another woman not know it.
 A woman does not need to know another for a number of years to form an opinion of her-one glance will do. How many men have said they wanted their wives to meet another mans wife because she was such a fine woman, and when the meeting took place how many wives have said feat" and prompt ly dropped the acquaintance.
 You can cheat a woman on stocks and bonds a good deal easier than man, but you can never cheat a woman on another Woman's char acter. If there is a mouse in the
 1om a cat knows it, while the dog sleeps quietly on, and if there is a woman about any woman is keen enough to "size her up" in one good glance.
 The feminine instinct is to sur
 CT fully before her own sex, just as the private citizen sur renders to the hiwayman. When woman of questionable character comes into the presence of a good woman there is dropping of the eyelids, an unspoken confession of "you know my type" Perhaps that same woman will pose as a moral woman before a preacher, but she shrinks frcn the eye of woman.
 Woman is always q good judge of character. Her power of an alysis, of intution and of natural instinct usually exceeds that of man. Although she has been known ooverestimate the value of man and to misjudge him, with woman she never fails.
 Therefore, before blind man, that creature who is so sure of himself in the business world, ventures in- to matrimony, let his present his intended wife to some good: whole some woman who is entirely neu- tral as to his motive. No matter how hard-hearted man may be he always softenrs when he comes in contact with the weaker sex. Man believes in woman, and he be- lieves she is what she poses to be, but woman pierces through the surface and sees her as she Is.
