Boise, June 2-The democratic

offices at Boise only a few DAYS

State Treasurer Eagleson has re-

presented by those officials who have
been touring the state and who have
put in their expense claims for pay

Treasurer Eagleson claims there is
no fund available for this purpose.

FEWER CO-EDS MARRY
University Women Take Up Other
Avocations After Graduating.

Lawrence, March 14.-Contrary to
a prevalent belief that 80 per cent of
the women graduates of the University
of Kansas are married within a year
after graduation, statistics show the
number of marriages to be decreasing
Careers. other than that of home max
ing furnish the reason. In the last
ten years approximately 25 per cent of
the women graduates of the university
have been teaching. At present sixty
five of the 1872 women graduated last
year are teaching.
Almost every line of work from
farming to pharmacy is included in
the list of vOcations chosen by Kansas
university women. Social service work,
hospital training schools religious
work, and newspaper jobs are all re-
ceiving the woman graduate. The
number of women who continue study
and research work after graduation
is increasing. In 1915 only two women
entered the field of study. But eight
women of the class of 1916 are con
tinuing some special line of study or
research. About 40 per cent of the
womens contingent of last years class
live at home and follow no vocation.

MOTHER IS LOSER
Life of Child Weighed Against
Sanity of Parent.
For Protection of Baby, Mrs,
Andrews Goes to Asylum.

The life of little child was weighed
probate court Tuesday afternoon. and
the mother lost.
Mrs. Bertha Andrews, wife of Del
Andrews. young, handsome and intel
ligent, was declared insane by a COM
mission composed of DR.. Seth Hammil,
DIR. James Stewart and DIR. c. C. Lull.
This is the problem the physicians
faced:
If Mrs Andrews We're held to be
sane and given her freedom and the
care of her child there might be a
recurrence of Mondays. near-tragedy
when she attempted to cure it's imag-
mary ills by immersing it in boiling
water.
If she were held to be mentally de-
ranged, sufficiently to justify treat
ment at the state hospital, she must
be separated from the child and her
demeanor thruout the hearing indi-
Gated that such a step would spell
total insanity for her.
The physicians talked with her with
her husband, with other relatives and
with neighbors. The evidence all
pointed to temporary insanity; to
periods when Mrs. Andrews is not re-
sponsible for what she does. But it
also shows that customarily her mind
is clear and normal.
10 Baby.
1t was during one of the insane
periods that the young and inexper-
fence wife imagined her baby was
dying of commissions and prepared to
save its life with boiling water APP
piled both internally and externally.
Fearing for the life of the baby Del
Andrews, the husband, filed the in
sanity complaint and his wife knew
that during the hearing. She care
fully avoided him and his eyes.
The baby, over whose welfare the
mother has become unbalanced and
for whose welfare she must now give
it up, is normal, healthy child. The
ills attributed to it by Mrs Andrews
were ina ginary. 1t was brought into
the court room from the detention
worker, before Mrs. Andrews arrived.
The husband was there also. When
the mother came she saw but one per-
son. but one thing, and that was her
child. She bore straight to it and
clasped it in her arms, refusing to
relinquish it long enough to tell her
story. The commission went to her
instead.
The fact that separation from her
baby probably means complete insan-
ity for the mother did not weigh heav-
lily against the possibility of death to
the baby at her hands. With the fates
the physicians cast their votes for the
child
Mrs. Andrews goes to the state hos
pitaI childless and perhaps doomed to
insanity.
The child goes into safe hands,
where its life will not be endangered,
but motherleSs.

A NEW WAR MALADY
Doctors Puzzled in Germany by "Fear
of Starvation Sickness.

Amsterdam, March 14.-An article
is being widely printed in Germany
dealing with the control of a new
war disease" that German doctors
have to combat. Having met and
defeated the old war diseases, chol-
era, typhus, spotted fever and small
pox, they now face psychological
starvation
This disease says the article, lis
of much more difficult character, as
it is mental and is quickly spread
from one sufferer to another. 1t is
found, strangely enough, in peaceful
countrysides where wars alarms
have not penetrated.
TT is first fear of starvation and
out of this fear rises a sort of
psychological hunger. This confusion
of ideas is sometimes exciting, some
times Gripping, and robs one of cour-
age and sense.
Fear of starving will cause many
to make luxurious use of available
supplies, to use all sorts of tricks in
order to attempt to cover themselves
with a reserve layer of fat for times
of still greater scarcity.
In thousands of letters, mostly
written by women, the writers speak
of nothing else but the fear of ulti-
mate starvation"

PLOT OF SPORTING BLOOD
FOUNDED ON EXPERIENCE

The story of Sporting Blood"
which is to be shown at the American
theatre Wednesday night, is founded
on fact Bertram Bracken, William
Fox director, who wrote the story,
says that the incidents he gives in
the film are largely taken from actual
experiences he has had or heard of.
my father owned stable in Tex

some of the best racers of the state.
Naturally grew up with a great love
of horses. and a knowledge of them
that not many persons have. That
interest made the writing of racing
story especially fascinating.
Director Bracken has made the
study of horses one of his pet avoca-
tions. He knows the racing laws of
Europe and the various United states
backward, and he can tell you just
how much money was won and lost at
the last English Derby.
There has .-lways been a great deal
of superstition about race tracks,
Director Bracken said. II suppose it's
the same with every gambling device
superstition is supreme.
"I once knew man who had the
habit of betting always on the first
horse he saw when he arrived at the
race course, or on the horse ridden
by the first jockey he saw. He called
it system but it amounted to little
more than a hobby. He lost just as
consistently that way as he could
have in any other.
at knew another man who would
always turn down the cuffs of his
trousers when he went to a race
track and would not turn them III
again until after the event. The
strange part of it was that he offer
won, though I don't know whether i
was the system or his own judgment
that helped him along"
