The "Tired School Girl"

Have you ever observed the girl
coming home from school with three
or four books? Instead of looking
light, strong and free, she too often
appears weak and tired. The i'm
preston we receive is that she is
overworked, while the truth is that
the advance lessons in each BOOK
are trifling, by no means too great,
were she strong and healthy. 1t is
not the mental work which is break
ing her down, but the lack of physi-
cal exercise to build her up. If the
body, during the growing years, is
called on to do nothing which even
half develops it, while the brain is
pushed to its utmost, does it take
long to decide whether such course
is a right one? Leaving out entire
ly the discomfort to the body, is that
a rational system of education which
leaves a girl liable to become weak,
if not so already, before she is we'll
on in middle age? Is this not giving
great care to her moral and mental
education alone, and actually doin 9
nothing for her physical nature?
Certainly, this is an irrational and
one sided course and is sure to devel-
op a one sided person. Manson

BORAH SAYS BOARD IS
WILLING TO CONSIDER EVI-
DENCE IN THE CASE
WAR DEPARTMENT EXPLAINS THE
REQUIREMENTS
Any Situation Between the Alleghe-
ny and Sierra Nevada Ranges More
Than 200 Miles From Frontier And
Coast Eligible.

In a letter received yesterday by
President Turner K. Hackman, presi-
dent of the Twin Falls Commercial
club, Senator w. e. Borah urges that
data relative to the feasibility of the
nitrate plant be forwarded at once TO
him in order that he may place it be-
fore the board consisting of heads of
the war, interior and agriculture. The
senator stated that the board express
ed a desire to consider any PROPOSE
tion coming within the general re-
Quirements.
The war department forwarded the
following information in regard to the
general requirements for the govern
ment plant:
l. The plant must be reasonably in
accessible to an enemy, and should
therefore be situated between the Al
legheny and Sierra Nevada mountains,
and at least two hundred miles from
the International boundaries, and from
the coasts of the Great Lakes.
2. Stream flow capable of furnish
ing 100000 horse power, twenty-four
hours for every day of the year, should
be available either at the site or with
in reasonable transmission distance
thereof
8. The tract should embrace not
less than one hundred and fifty acres
capable or economical development
through proximity of construction ma
terials and other advantages, and con-
veniently located with reference to
transportation to coal fields, to ma
terials for the manufacture of explo-
sives and fertilizers, to plants at
which nitric acid will be used, to the
section of the country offering the
greatest demand for fertilizers, and TO
fertilizer manufacturing plants.
4. Adequate supply of efficient Ia
Dor should either be available or the
conditions should be favorable for the
rapid development of such a supply.
AS many as 1000 to 1,500 men may be
required.

BLACKLIST ORDER IS
SUSPENDED TODAY
Subject of Bitter Controversy Between
the United States and Great Britain
Removed.
CUnited Press)

LONDON, April 26-The British gov
ernment today announced the sus-
pension of the American blacklist
which was one of the most serious
bones of contention between the gov
ernment of the United States and that
of Great Britain. England claimed
the right to prevent her subjects from
trading with certain foreign firms in
neutral countries, whose owners were
either Germans or persons giving aid
and comfort to Germany. The United
States held that while technically
such discrimination if fairly admins
tered might not be in violation of the
letter of international law, it was
violation in spirit, and, as actually ad-
ministered in the letter. 1t was as
serted by the American state depart
ment that action was taken without
giving firms Disseminated against
hearing and that in many instances the
result of the action taken was to de-
liver valuable contracts to British
firms. Intention to act unfairly was
stoutly denied by Great Britain which
said that the evils complained of ex-
listed, if at all, in only a few isolated
cases and in those accidently and in
cidently.

PARIS, April ga dispatch for
warded by Correspondent Wood of the
United Press service today says "That
thirteen hundred Germans have been
taken prisoners and $50 machine guns
captured at one fell swoop by French
soldiers this morning. Eleven cannon
have been captured. This makes a
total of 5000 prisoners captured in
the fighting which has taken place
around Vile au Bois. The weather
is far cooler than it has been for
some days.
A statement issued by General
Nivelle today reveals the fact that
Germany is making her greatest eff
fort in trying to drive back the French
forces which crumbled the base of the
famous Hindenberg line. The violent
counter attacks made on the French
forces have been repulsed. A great
German crush south of Laon delivered
two powerful blows but was smashed
and repulsed.
General Haig officially announced
today the complete repulse of violent
German counter attacks against the
new British positions around Cavrelle.
The Germans are suffering the most
appalling losses of the war in des-
perate efforts to stoD the British drive
by sheer weight of human masses
North of Scarpe river, where the Brit
ish fought ahead inch by inch, Ger
man carnage was the greatest since
the war began. Dispatches from the
front indicate that the Germans real
ize that no trench can stand agains;
/ the terrific fire of British artillery
and that the foe is seeking to make a
living wall of human beings against
the advance. The artillery did ter
rifle work when turned into closely
packed masses of troops. Thousands
of mangled bodies, mostly those OF
Germans, strewed the battlefield
along the Scarpe. The British losses
were exceedingly low, considering the
ferocity of the fighting. The state
ments of prisoners show that the
morale of the German troops is being
undermined

AMERICAN SCHOONER
SUNK WITHOUT NOTICE
Ship Sent to Bottom by Gunfire-
Crew Saved Sinking of U-BOat by
Mongolia Confirmed

WASHINGTON, April 26-Submar-
inc gun fire sunk the American
schooner Percy Birdsen, the state de-
partment announced today. A patrol
boat rescued the entire crew. Nine or
ten shots were fired at schooner, sew
en- of which struck the vessel Most
of the hits were below the water line.
The attack was made without previous
warning and the firing continued
while the boats were being launched.
The first report of the sinking of
a submarine yesterday by the Ameri-
can steamship Mongolia seems to he
confirmed by later investigation. The
following is the original statement of
Captain Bice:
NAVAL gunners aboard the MongO-
liza made a clean hit at 1000 yards and
the periscope was seen to be shatter-
ed. Oil was seen on the water after
the submarine disappeared
An even more pertinent fact, as re-
CARDS the ultimate fate of the sub
marine, was that the shell disappear
ed Immediately after the hit was made.
The captain stated a shell always rico
chefs in the water and can be seen
again unless it finds its mark
The Mongolia was going at full
speed and was a long distance from
the spot when the spray and foam
subsided. From the bridge officers
observed the spot through glasses and
are confident the submarine was sunk
The submarine attempted to attack
the liner in British waters April 10
It's periscope was sighted dead ahead
on the last afternoon of the voyage
! The captain ordered full speed ahead
intending to ram the submarine. TIL,
periscope then disappered but a few
minutes later reappeared on the ships
broadside. The gunners fired, hitting
the periscope squarely, throwing up ;
fountain of water.
