Suffrage In Norway.

Among the most important laws en-
acted by Norway since women have had
the vote are the two maternity insur-
ance laws Of 1900 and 1915 and the d.
vorce law Of 1910.
"Since the women in Norway have got
the VOTE" says Ella Anker in Jus Suf-
fragii, "they have turned their chief
attention to their rights and duties as
wives and mothers Education and eco
nomic independence are the basis OF wo-
mans freedom, but her greatest work
and happiness will be as wife and moth

these centuries. while men have taught
us that woman's place is in the home,

SAL WALTON ARMY
TO RALLY
YOUTH OF CITY

To organize the boys and girls OF
Bridgeport into industrial classes is
the announced purpose of the Saliva
ton Army A special effort will be-
made to reach the children who are
not regularly identified with other
churches or religious institutions. To
facilitate this project a census of the
city will probably be taken for the
purpose of determining how many
children do not attend Sunday school.
The advisory board of the building
fund is in hearty sympathy with the
movement, S. Simpson, the president
Of the board, said today. But Mr..
Simpson declared that in order to do
effective work along the lines sug-
gested it will be necessary to have
proper equipment. A section of the
new building to be erected at 80 Elm
street will be set apart for this branch
Of the work. This is what the Saliva
ton Army denominates! the preven-
tive system.
The first step in the organization Of
the childrens industrial branch will
be taken next week when a number
of boys and girls will assemble at the
Salvation Army hall on. Elm street.
The boys, as a. beginner, will take up
painting, while the girls will be taught
sewing. It is believed by Adjutant
and Mrs. Perritt that the ultimate eff
feet of bringing the children together
will be to induce them to enter the
Sunday school and thus become useful
workers in the Salvation Army.
It is also planned to organize a
branch of the Life Saving Scouts and
the Life Saving Guards. The former
will be composed exclusively of boys
and the latter will be recruited from
among girls and young women. The
children will be trained in swimming,
horseback riding, ball playing and
other physical accomplishments. They
will also be instructed in hygiene and
in methods for extending first aid to
the wounded
Any boy or girl who is in the habit
of attending Sunday school and is Of
good repute will be eligible to join
these organizations. They promise
when taking the pledge of loyalty to
their respective bodies to permanently
abstain from Intoxicating liquors, to
love God, respect the church and to he
ready at all times to rally to the
standard Of their country. Love of
God, love of church, love of country
and love Of family are the cardinal
principles inculcated by these organ
izations.

enough oats to plant their fields. The
situation in Montana and North Da-
kota was said to be more serious than
IN the other northwest states. One
farmer declared that owing to the
poor quality of this years crop a ma
jority of the farmers would be forced
to fed their corn to live stock before
the winter is over. to save 1t from
