COTTON CAN BE RAISED ASIA
 MINOR
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, May l. German com mercial observers who are attached to the Turkish army in Asia Minor, report that the climate of Asia Minor, except in the uplands, is very favor able for cotton cultivation, and all along the line of the Bagdad railway land is being used for that purpose, as far as the water supply permits. Extensive irrigation works have been started at Adana, and other places, and experiments in cotton growing in the province of Smyrna are said to have been very successful. About fifty thousand bales of Turkish cot ton is reported to have arrived at Budapest last year.
 An association of German and Aus trian cotton buyers has been formed to assist in the development of the Turkish market, and it is hoped that when the war is over the mills of Germany and Austria will be less de- pendent than heretofore on the Liver pool and American markets.

FITTING WOMEN FOR BUSINESS
 VOCAT|ONS
(By Associated Press)

SEATTLE, May 1. - New courses have been arranged at the University of Washington for women who wish to enter professional fields.
 Five curricula are offered by the homo economies department.
 Tho first group is the general curri- culum, which is primarily for home women. It offers a liberal education for the profession of home making. Combined with economies and sociol. Ogy, it may serve as a preparation for welfare work.
 A combination of this course and the fine arts is intended as a foundation for interior decorating or textile and costume design. The woman jour nalist, familiar with home economies, has opportunities as a feature writer or an editor of the women's page.
 Those who wish to teach in insti tutions of higher learning. laboratory and research workers for government and commercial positions and food and sanitary inspectors will be interested in the science curriculum for work in food, nutrition and sanitation. Dietit. ians in hospitals may have the advan, tage of practice work in a Seattle in stiHtion
 The third division is the teachers rnr in, fph h. made among food and nutrition, tex tiles and clothing, or combination or both for high schools, normal schools and colleges.
 Students finishing the course in in stitutional management will be open to positions as tea rooms, restaurant and cafeteria managers, managers of hotel dining rooms, school lunch rooms and college dormitories.
 The department has laid special stress upon the fifth ground - that of the textile and non-textile merchan- disc curriculum, which will prepare young women for mercantile work in department stores ana speciality shops. It is a combination of technical work in home economies and commercial work with actual practice in stores and academic work for general cuI- tural purposes. After training and with experience, these women will be able to occupy positions as heads of departments, buyers, welfare workers l and teachers in salesmanship.

CAMBRIDGE WILL
 REDUCE COST
 OF EDUCATION
(By Associated Pressl

CAMBRIDGE, May 1. - Those who
 return to Cambridge University after the war will find great changes. There is in progress not only great reform
 in curriculum, but also a great demo cratiZation of the whole university at mosphere. In the past the cost of education at the older English univer- sites has been a bar to all except wealthy or very clever students. Since the war a good deal of attention has been given to the reduction of the ex- penses of undergraduates and the con sequent throwing open of the univer- sity to a much wider range of stu dents.
 The student after the war will be offered short course of study and longer terms. This will result in a shortening of the time required for the university course. But generally speaking it has been found that the heavy cost of a Cambridge education is not due to the fees exacted by the colleges so much as to the extravagant social habits of the undergraduates. Steps are being made to curb all un- necessary expenditures in this direc. tion, and the student who comes to Cambridge with an idea that he can spend his money freely on all sorts of pleasures will find himself on bad terms with the university authorities.
 There is to be great liberalization of the courses of study. Courses in modern languages, English, economics and modern science, will be extended enormously. The whole system of ex- aminations will be revised, and in all probability the present special exam nations will be rearranged and stiff fened. Compulsory Greek will be abandoned, and those who consider that military training should form part of the university education are dis tinctly in the majority in faculty circles.
 For the present college classrooms are almost completely depopulated Examinations. lectures and class ex- ercises still go on, but class seldom contains more than four or five young men. Many students whose names ap- pear on the rolls are only nominally in college. being either on war duty with the army or engaged in work at vari- ous government offices.

BELG|AN HARES WILL. REDUCE
 COST LIVING
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, May l. - The latest recruit to the ranks in the fight against the high cost of living is the Belgian hare. Although this short. tailed long cared rodent is not will ing volunteer, it is expected that his services will be an aid, at least, in the combat. Thousands of these ami mals are raised throughout the state, not only by commercial companies, but by private citizens, who maintain war rens. They propagate fast and their flesh is said to be as nourishing as chicken, beef or pork, and quite as palatable. A number of children who have raised them in the past as pets, have taken advantage of the opporun- ity to make additional pocket money and are raising them for the market.

PRESIDENT CUTS
PRICE OF PAPER
FOR U. 5. WORK
Recognizes Price Asked by
Manufacturers Is Too
High
By Associated Press


Washington, Aug. 30.-In an order
which newspaper publishers declare
will serve as an important precedent,
President Wilson has fixed a price of
two and one-half cents for news
print paper for use in publishing the
governments daily official bulletin.
The order fixing the price was is
sued by Secretary Baker at the Pres
idents direction under the National
Defense Act, which empowers the
government to commander supplies
needed for war purposes. 1t was III
rected to the International PAPER
Company, which has declined to fur
nish newsprint for the bulletin at
less than, three cents a pound
Newspaper publishers who learn
ed of the order to-day voiced the
hope that it might open the way FOR
cheaper newsprint to publishers
generally. They called attention to
statements by the President that the
administrations war price policy will
be one that provides the same prices
for the public as for the govern
ment.
Price Too High
The Presidents action was taken
at the instance of the Joint con-
gressional committee on printing, of
which Senator Fletcher is chairman.
When the bulletin first began publi-
cation the committee offered bids for
newsprint and the cheapest price
named was three cents. This. the
committee decided, was too high and
appealed to the International on pa
triotic grounds, to sell its product to
the public printing offices at two and
one-half cents. The company COM
piled and for time furnished the
paper, but later declared increasing

JAPAN'S MISSION
GIVEN WELCOME
BY u. S. SENATE
Americas Entry Into War De-
clared to Be Great Moral
Victory
BY Associated Press

Washington. Aug. 80. - Japan's
mission, headed by Viscount Ishii,
was received to-day by the Senate
at a ceremony in which Senator
Salisbury, President pro tenn, well
coined the visitors ana Viscount Ishii
made an address bearing a message
of friendship and good will between
the nations.
In his address Viscount Ishii said,
in part:
II grasp this occasion to say to you
that the whole people of Japan
heartily welcome and profoundly ap-
preciate the entrance of this mighty
nation of yours into the struggle
against the insane despoiler of our
civilization. We all know that you
did not undertake this solemn task
on the impulse of the moment; but
that you threw your mighty weight
into the struggle only after exercising
firm determination that this world
shall be made free from the threat
OF aggression from that black shadow
of a military despotism welded by a
nation taught with the mothers milk
that human right must yield to bru.
tai might. To us the fact that YOU
are now or the side of the Allies in
this titanic struggle constitutes al
ready a great moral victory for our
common cause, which we believe to
be the cause of right and justice,
for, the strong as for the weak, for
the great as for the small.
I'VE of Japan believe we under
stand something of the American
ideal of life and we pay our most
profound respects to 1t. Jefferson,
your great democratic President,
conceived the ideal of an American
commonwealth. Jefferson saw Ameri-
cans. not as a set of people huddled
together under the muzzles of ma
chine guns, but he saw them as a
myriad of independent and free men,
as individuals, only relying on a COM
bined military force for protection
against aggression from abroad or
treachery from within. He saw a
community of people guided by a
community of good thought and pure
patriotism, using their own special
talents in their own special way un-
der their own sacred roof trees. Not
a machine made nation, but a Iiv-
ing, growing organism, animated by
one passion-the passion of liberty"
