AMERICAN DOLLAR

Paper Currency of Austro-
Hungary Decreases During
the War.

Vienna, Tan. 22-Delayed by Censor
Formerly the American dollar was
worh here 4.96 crowns; today it sells
: at 7.16. Even the money of Austria
Hungary's allied states is much above
par. Normally 100 crowns cost 80
marks, while today one may buy them
at about TO. The Bulgarian Ira,
which in times of peace was cheaper
than the Austro-Hungarian crown,
stands at an average of 100 to 1o4 and
the Turkish pound Is worth ABOUT 70
crowns where formerly 1T was only T.

WAR WILL FREE WOMEN OF ORIENT

,Hussein Renal, sultan of Egypt, recently made
the following statement to lie Temps:
Zone of the greatest results OF the war to the
Orient will be the complete emancipation OF women.
Orientals understand too little the great part woman
plays in the worlds progress.
"Since she is called to the high vocation of caring
and instructing her children she should be given the
opportunity of developing and educating herself IN the
highest possible degree.
"No political or social problem OF the Orient is
ca ;m,ortant a : the question of woman's emancipation.
If we could end the ignorance of our women and give
them a chance to assert themselves, all other trouble
some questions would succumb to that healthy inhu-
ence, and new generations would be raised IN the llsht
oil intelligent motherhood.
wv can never be wholly happy in the Orient until
we tree women from the semi-slavery with which they
are treated by the Mohammedan laws

The most important piece OF news in the Fedora
ton world today is the fact OF the formation OF the
Alaska Territorial Federation, which has just united
with the General Federation and will have representa-
tives at the New York Biennial.
This organization is the result OF Mrs. Penny
backcr's visit to Alaska last summer, supplemented bv
much faithful work on the part OF Mrs. William r
Harper of Seattle, a member of the General Fedora
ton board Of directors.
There are nine clubs already in this Territorial
Federation, the president of whom is Mrs. Thomas V.
Connor. Of Douglas, who was most active in eftectlnP
the organization. Mrs. Conner is one of the busy
women who can be depended on to push such under
takings along to a successful elimination. She is
president Of the Douglas Island Woman's club, does
her own homework, and has recently been appointed
nv the governor Of Alaska to the Board of Children S
Guardians for the First district of that territory.

RENO BETTER BABIES WEEK"

One hundred and sixty little folks are registered
in the Better Babies" contest to be held in Reno from
April lth to 14th.
The babies will not be judged by beauty or dress,
but will be given a thorough examination by leading
Reno physicians and be rated according to intelligence
shown and bodily perfection.
The contest is to be held at the Century Club and
daily lectures will be given on the care of children. This
contest ought to be of much benefit to mothers, as it
will serve to point out any deficiency in their offspring
so that it may be corrected before the child is too
advanced in years.

BLOUSES AND BEADED BAGS

Written for the United Press by Margaret Masonl
All waste is very wrong indeed,
I've heard these many years;
Yet nothing's wrong with Bettys waist;
It's quite all right, my dears.
NEW YORK, April S:-Two Bees now buzzing in
milady's spring bonnet are b!ouses and beaded bags.
The blouses are all to be baggy and the bags are
all to be beady.
To be sure, beaded bags have been in hand for
many seasons, but just the different placing of a bead
or two makes a vast change in these 1916 model BAGS.
In these new bags the beads aren't quite every
thing. Silk meets the bead half way and either the top
of the bag is a puff of taffeta with a lower half of beads
in vari-co1ored designs or stripes, or vice versa, the
beaded top loosens out into a puff of taffeta below.
There is quite a craze for plaid effects in the bead work

LOOK FOR THE SUNSHINE AND ROSES

Copyrighted by Nellie Davenport Graves. Used bv
permission OF the author.I
When life's hopes seem broken and shattered.
And your heart is discouraged and sad,
Remember that back OF each shadow,
There's sunshine to make the heart glad;
lust saw. Il will wait for the dawning,"
It's always the darkest fore day,
Tomorrow the sun may be shining,
And your sorrows and cares pass'd away.
Just look for the Sunshine and the Roses,
And take all life's cares at their best,
Be honest and brave and true-hearted,
And leave it to God for the rest.
Kind words and bright smiles cost you nothing,
And may tighten some heart on it's way,
You'll forget in your kindness to Others,
The sadness that's with you today;
For each heart has it's burden OF sorrow,
Each heart has it's burden OF woe,
Then give a kind word and a greeting,
And scatter the smiles as you go.
