the responsibility of the wife without producing any disorder or crisis. One should know, in fact, that the family in France is based on a close cooper alton between husband and wife in industrial and commercial enterprises. AS rule the husband keeps the wife fully informed about his undertake lngs and looks on her generally as his best adviser. This state of things is one of the great forces of resist ance to national disorganization and has not seldom saved tho nation at critical periods of it's home and for elgn history during past centuries.
 After noting that figures show a progressive return to the normal con- dition of things in agriculture, cattle raising, and milk products before the war, the secretary concludes:
 Neither the wealth nor the re- ssting power of France. nor it's fu- ture position in the world, has been affected by the unjust aggression which was meant for their destruc- ton. On the contrary, the French feel more solidarity than ever, and the female part of the population is showing as much energy in the peace ful tasks imposed on them from day to day as the male population is showing in the operations of var

FRISCO IS STRONG
 FOR KINDERGARTENS
Civic Organizations Compel City
 to Take Care Of Youth

Supported by the demands of in
 dividual citizens, women's clubs, civic
 organizations and the daily press, the
 school authorities of San Francisco ] have recently recommended the es-
 tablishment of twenty additional kin | dergartens. This means that when
 the estimate they have presented to | the proper authorities have been for I mally approved, approximately l,Uo0 | more children between four and six years old in San Francisco Will re- l ceive the well-rounded training which | the kindergarten gives, through It's ! play-work, songs games ana stories. Until recently San tranclsco has not been as advanced as most large
 cities of the United States in proV1d- ing public education for children un~ der primary school age, having but eleven kindergartens pupllccally sup ported. This was the more surpr1s- ing because it had the most famous of the early kindergarten philanthro- pies; and for years no other city had so many or such generously provided beneficences of this kind.
 Two, factors of universal interest
 
 Francisco school board. The passage of new form of kindergarten leg1s- laton in California three years ago. and the thorough canvas of the state during the past two years, to arouse parents and educators to the oppor- tunities the new law brings. California now has one of the best Kindergarten laws in the country. It says that whenever parents of twenty five children of kindergarten age who live within a mile of an elementary school want a kindergarten, the way is open for them to get one simply by petitioning the local educational au- thorities.
 It was not, however. until the law had been brought to the attention of the people through systematic effort, that any marked advantage was reaped from it's favorable provisions. A number of agencies contributed to make the law effective. Tn 1914 a special collaborator of the United States bureau of education, who is also field secretary of the National
 Kindergarten association, began CO., operating with parents and state and local school officials to bring about the establishment of more classes. Through her efforts, and the efforts of citizens within and without the schools, the number of girls and boys receiving kindergarten instruction throughout California has practically doubled since this extension work was begun.

WOMEN RESPONDING
 NOBLY TO SACRIFICE
Husbands Tell Wives of Business Ar fairs and Latter Keep the Ma

Correspondence of the Asso. Press)
 Paris, May 24-The whole number of women employed in munition mak- ing in France, according to the sec retary for munitions is 1O9,300. Of these 26,293 are in state factories. A very large proportion have had to learn their business from the begin ming.
 In other directions the secretary says, the branches to which French women have mostly taken are food industries, textiles and the metal trades, but many also are working in rubber and at sack making.
 Frenchwomen, the secretary says learn very quickly, particularly the use of the smaller machines which in some cases they master in day; and if as a class they are not very strong they are, in compensation, very handy. Speaking of the successful way in which the wives of mobilized wholesale and retail merchants, shop keepers and other traders have car ried on their husbands businesses, the secretary explains it by fact not very generally known abroad.

DOMINATION OF
 METAL TRADE GONE
Australia Free Of German Inilu-
 enCe in This Respect

tCorresnondence of tne Associated Press.n
 Melbourne, Australia, May D. What was described, before the war began, as Germany's domination" of the worlds metal trades through Teu- tonic commercial and industrial su- premacy in Australian mining regions, has, after year of systemized effort virtually been destroyed, according to a long statement issued by Hugh MahOn, acting attorney general.
 Negotiations instituted by William M. Hughes when attorney general ana since prosecuted by him as federal prime minister in England, have borne fruit in the creation of a cooperative organization of mining companies in Australia to deal with the commercial metals industry. Through this asso- citation, according to MT. Mahon's statement, this giant business is being placed on a footing free from the pos sibility of foreign control in the future. This organization, the Associated Shelters Proprietary, Ltd, is probably the largest metaphysical establish ment of it's kind in the world-a smelt- ing, refining and realization distitu- tion for the treatment of silver, lead and gold ores and concentrates.
 MT. Mahon's statement tells also of the formation of an Australian Zinc

Producers association, with which is affiliated every important zinc pro- ducinG company with head offices in the commonwealth. Through the medium of this association it's mem- bers have agreed to sell all their mar ketable ore for a period of fifty years.
 Replying to an intimation appear ing in London financial journal that Australia's metal industry was perhaps being exploited in the labor interest under the cover of banishing German influence, MT. Mahon has asserted that the men interested in the metal or ganizations here have little or no sympathy with the political opinions of the present Qabor) government" and that mo party purpose" was con- sidered. "It is quite evident" MT. Mahon said, that German influence is not yet extinct in those circles in

 I had never heard him speak the name "Sonnot'' Indeed I would never have known he had met her, save for the accidental opening of her scrap book to his picture when she recipes.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. g.
This wonderfully of the west

United States, already talks
of rivaling Chicago AS me-
tropolis of the American
midlands.
Detroit doesn't even know now
how big 1t is; growth is so rapid
the housing facilities never catch
up with the population; but there
are close to a million people on
the American side of the river
within ten miles of the city hall!
There were 465, 200 in 1910.
Pitssburg, Baltimore, Cleve-
land, Boston-Detroit insists she
has passed them all, and is close
on the heels of st. Louis, with
Philadelphia plodding along but a
doubtful distance ahead!
And this is the town that in
1900 was thirteenth in popula-
ton, ranking with such places as
Milwaukee and New Orleans-the
town that went by local time and
fought construction of the Detroit
river tunnel for fear it would
make the place a way-station be-
tween Chicago and Buffalo!

Hamtramck (3O,00O) and High
