WIVES MUST BE
REALLY DEPENDENT.

The question OF discharging mar
ried men is giving oficials consider
able trouble. No official attempt be-
yond the draft regulations has been
made to define the exact status mar
ried men will have to show to obtain
exemption. 1t is certain that men
whose wives are not dependent on
them for support will be accepted for
service. 1t will be up to the local
boards to determine to what extent a
wife depends on her husbands, labor.
and they will Judge this according to
the nature OF the affidavits filed.
Eligibles are warned against falsi-
flying these affidavits. The federal
government will vigorously prosecute
all cases where there is evidence of
perjury. This policy, 1t is said, will
also be applied to men in charge of
industries who grossly exaggerate te the
Importance Of employees called in the
draft. Many industrial concerns
throughout the country are preparing
to claim exemptions for every en-
ploye called.

OUTSIDERS MAY
ALSO FILE CLAIMS.

The law does not limit the fling
OF claims to the party called. A
mans wife or his friend may file the
claim for him. IL 1t Is believed he is
entitled to a discharge or exemption
which he is too proud to claim for
himself
1t is expected that by far the great
er percentage OF discharge claims
will come from married men. The
census figures for registration esti-
between the ages of 2l and 80 were
married. The law expects all men
who are morally bound to support a
wife actually dependent on them to
claim discharge, but 1t will let no
man pass whose affidavits show he
is trying to hide behind petticoats.

THE REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA

In its regular Sunday article on
the Progress of the War" the Salt
Lake Tribune says:
One of the most tremendous events
of the war has had practically no eff
feet upon military operations, but
within the next few days or weeks
may have deciding influence. The
revolution in Russia has overthrown
the Gar and the pro-German intrig-
uants and has led to determination
upon the part of the duma to con-
duct the war with greater vigor.
Whether this determination can be
carried out depends in large measure
upon the extent of the disorganiza-
ton. The supposedly pro-German
regime may have left heritage of
fatal disorganization which will be
increased if the revolution is met by
a counter revolution. Should the
army at the front be divided, one
part siding with the old regime and
another with the duma, resistance to
the enemy will be weakened and it
may become necessary for Russia to
conclude a separate peace. 1t is like
ly, however. that the story of the
French revolution will be repeated
and that the troops will present a
solid front to the enemy, despite the
internal dissensions.

Governor Boyle has issued pl oc-
lamation quarantining against the
importation of pine trees. currant
and goose-berry plants, on account of
what is known as the white pine bis
ter rust, which has appeared in some
parts of the East and in foreign coun-
tries. The Governor states in his
proclamation that the period of incu-
baton of said white pine blister rust
varies from two to fifteen or even
twenty years, during which time it
is difficult to recognize from out
ward appearance, rendering it an in
sidious and dangerous disease. The
quarantine is declared against all
portions of the United States east of
the Mississippi river and the State of
Minnesota and all foreign countries,
and was effective March 10th.

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNs

What is declared to be the most ex-
pensive legislative session ever held
in Nevada. came to an end at $50
o'clock on Friday evening of last
week, or nearly 18 hours after the
time specified by the constitution for
adjournment sine die. The conclud-
ing Is hours were filled with interest,
in view of the many rumors in circu-
lation regarding plans of various of
ficials for upsetting the desire OF the
lawmakers to abolish the office OF
deputy superintendents of public in
struction, says the Journal.
While there may have been no con-
nection between the fact and the re-
ported errors made in enrolling the
general appropriation bill, which also
occasioned delay. the circumstances
we're regarded with suspicion. 1t
was necessary to enroll the appro-
priation bill about four times before
il was finally delivered to the Govern
or and a receipt obtained for the
same. The delivery took place about
two hours before the adjournment.
The fights over abolishing the dep
uty district superintendents of pub
lie instruction marked the climax of
what otherwise might be termed as
a rather tame session. in spite of the
tendencies to appropriate large sums
for almost every project broached.
Shortly before midnight Thursday
the senate passed the Lyon County
delegation bill affecting the deputy
educators. The word reached the
Assembly while the lower house was
considering the appropriation meas
ure. The Lyon delegation, with an
amendment prepared in advance.
moved the various sums allotted the
deputies, travelling and Office expens-
es, be stricken from the bill. A
number of assemblymen were absent
from the chamber at the time, yet
the motion carried by vote of ID to
IL. The bill was then passed and re-
turned to the Senate where the men,
bers of the upper house concurred in
the change by a vote of 8 tot.

THE BEGINNING OF SPRING

The great astronomical event of
March is the coming of Spring. On
the twenty-second the days have be-
come longer than the nights. That
is what separates Winter from
Spring.
This event. Gays Current Events, is
known as the "vernal equinox.
Vernal is from Latin word meaning
Spring; equinox from two Latin
words meaning equal and night. 1t
is the time when the days have be-
come equal to the nights. Immedi-
ately they begin to be longer than
the nights.
Nature makes this the joyous sea-
son in the northern hemisphere.
Life begins to stir in the vegetable
world, for a new season of growth.
In old times the New Year was con-
sidered as beginning at this season.
and surely that was more natural
than to have it begin on the first of
January, when the world is as near
dead as it ever becomes.
AS the earth. in its yearly passage

directly toward the sun. This makes
the days longer and warmer in that
hemisphere which gets the suns rays
most directly, and we say Spring has
begun. At the same time the sun
begins to shine on the southern hemi-
sphere with more slanting rays, and
the days in that hemisphere become
shorter and colder, bringing on Au-
tumn and then Winter. On March

M. q. BOYS IN FRENCH CHATEAU
Ronald E. Bruner Writes of Ambu-
lance Company Experiences.

Ronald E. Bruner, 261O Chestnut
street, Kansas City, with the Univer-
sity of Missouri ambulance unit in
France. has written to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Roland E. Bruner:
Il am at the above address which is
beautiful big chateau. 1t is a big
house with about fifteen acres in lawns
and trees and was given by French
woman who lives in another place
nearby The lawns have been tram
pied and one section of the garden has
been ruined by the trucks and as
sembling of the Ford ambulances. We
are in a long, barn-like barracks SIM
liar to those at Fort Riley, sleeping on
cots. The daytime is delightful and
usually warm, but at night it gets
cold, so cold that two heavy blankets
are comfortable. This house, which is
really a mansion, has been abused and
run down terribly, because men, you
know, are hard on things. The big
halls and beautiful staircases are
carpetless, so you see this old war is
not borne by the peasantry entirely.
ITO come back to the trip. Our
trip was delightful all the way over.
The last two days the weather was
just like a day in June, but fine for
subs" Everybody on board slept
those two night with their clothes on
so if we should have to abandon ship
we would be prepared. Luckily we
didn't see one. When we landed we
piled our hand baggage into busses
and then formed in a column, four
abreast. The Leland Stanford unit,
which was also aboard and had a big
silk flag with which they were pre-
sented, headed the column. We

THE WAR OR WAR PROFITS

Propositions OF the railroads to
npbIic service commissions for per-
mission to reduce passenger and
feight service during war time should
no closely scrutinized. The question
suggests itself whether this sudden
cIamor of the railroads for economy
in train schedules is due to the war
or 90 the desire for war profits. 1t Is
well to ascertain what railroads are
diyerting cars from the shipment oi
foodstuffs and fuels, where the rates
and profits are small. to the hauling
Of luxuries. where the profits are
large. Where once railroads discrlm-
mated against cities and individuals
il seems apparent that they are now
discriminating against commodities
Such discrimination in the time oi
stress should be prevented by rigid
enforcement of public service COM
mission. regulations.
If shipping board is needed to
co,nutroI ocean transportation and
guarantee adequate use of the facili-
ties on the water, there is equal OF
greater need for shipping board tc
guarantee an adequate supply OF cars
at reasonable rates for necessaries on

The federal government may not
find it necessary yet to nationallze
the railway lines of the United States

the direction of better transportation
facilities by nationalizing transporta-
ton lines. adding freight, within lim-
itations, to the parcel post.

sixty cents American money, i. e., fif-
teen cents each. We saw a young girl
that was drowned just as they pulled
her out of the Seine River, which
flows right through the city. A
Frenchman standing by explained that
possibly it was some widow whose
husband had been killed and so she
had committed suicide.

work of inspecting the public schools
of the state is done exclusively by the
