FAMINE'S TOLL IN
 RUSSIA IS GREAT
(Geographic Magazinel

Geographic Magazine.)
 Next to the proletariat of India and China, the Russian peasant feels the pinch of poverty and hunger more keenly and more frequently than any other citizen on earth.
 One of the earliest famines in Rus sia of which there is any definite tinued for three years, with death record was that of 1900, which con- toll of 500,000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats were eaten; the strong over came the weak, and in the shambles of the public markets human flesh was sold. Multitudes of the dead were found with their mouths stuffed with straw.
 Three Russian famines of compara- lively recent date were among the most severe in the history of the country. They occurred in 1891, 1906 and 1911. During the ten years fol- lowing the first of these periods of dearth the government allotted nearly $125,000 900 for relief work, but the sums were not judiciously expended.
 The famine of 1911 extended over one-third of the area of the empire in Europe and affected more or less di- rectly 30,000,000 people, while S,000,000 were reduced to starvation. Weeds, the bark of trees and bitter bread made from acorns constituted the chief diet for the destitute. This was the most widespread and most severe panic which has befallen a European nation in modern times.

by nature peaceful; but they were long hunted for sport and are still shot on sight, with no questions asked, and have come to look upon all travellers as tribal enemies.
 They are said to be entirely nomadic to wear only a feather clout, and to bind their limbs in childhood so that the forearm and the leg below the knee become mere bone and sinew with which they can thrust their way through the spiny undergroth without pain. This improvement on Nature draws the foot out of shape, and the footprint of a savage, showing only the imprint of the heel, the outer edge of the foot, and the crooked big toe, is easily distinguished from that of the ordinary native.

VANAD|UM FOLk
 ANNUAL COMING

When the stockholders of the United States Vanadium Development con- pany meet on the evening of January E, in response to the call for the an nual meeting to elect directors, the news will be given them that the new mill on the property of the company is so nearly completed that it is eX- pected to begin actual operations on February l. Had it not been for the fact that quantities of the mill sup plies were delayed enroute after being shipped from Denver, it is the state ment of officers of the company, the mill would be working at this time. However, the whereabouts of this last shipment of mill parts have been traced and they will arrive within the next few days.
 Manager Harry $. Bryan, of the Minerals Recovery company, of Den yer, from whom the new 50-ton mill was purchased, was down from the property near Kelvin Junction few days ago and announced that the mill building was practically completed. except for a few finishing touches, and that everything is in readiness for the beginning of work. Several cottages have been erected for the use of the workmen and there is little to do now put 10 await the arrival or the last shipment of mill parts. The force of men employed in assembling and in stalling the mill is being held at the property in readiness to complete the work. ls@kS In view of the fact that enough ore l is waiting at the millsite to operate the plant for from eight to ten months ano enough ore is blocked out in the mine to insure a supply for not less thar two years more, the work of further development has been halted until the mill is in operation. The development of the property has progressed to the extent that it is probable that a move

 Altogether the officers and the wei l informed stockholders are entirely

FA|R SECRETARY
 NOT YET PICKED

Although it had been stated that the new state fair commission expected to name a secretary to the commission some time yesterday, nevertheless that body adjourned last night without hav- ing agreed upon a man for that posi- ton.
 After the debacle of the day before when Thomas D. 'Shaughnessy, former secretary, had been assured of the place by two members of the commits sion, only to be shelved by his op- ponents, the fair commission evidently found it difficult to agree upon a man for the position, for it was announced last night by Cecil D. Boyce, member of the commission, that the commis- sion had adjourned for several days" possibly to give time for heated pas sions in the democratic ranks to cool.
 It was rumored that the new Secre- tary, whoever he is, must come from outside of Maricopa county. The choice is said to lie between John Toomey and Harry Callisher. In the meantime, Bernard W. Zachau will continue as secretary.

AGREEMENT NUT
 GIVEN APPROVAL

The case of Gollaher vs. the Inter- Mountain Life Insurance company which was to have been sheard before the corporation commission yesterday was continued until January 23.
 The complaint filed against the com pany had charged an excessive collec- ton of premiums in writing two poli- cies, and when investigated by the cor poration commission is said to have disclosed gross misconduct.
 However, when the case was called yesterday, no one appeared, and it seemed evident that some sort of a settlement had been made whereby the complainant had been satisfied. But the commission announced that it would not allow the matter to be dropped, and postponed the hearing, after ordering that subpoenas be- is sued to compel the attendance of the interested parties.

CONTRACT.
 NUT DETERMINED

The contract executed between the former commission of state institutions and John B. Lyman, Jr., as supervising architect over the various additions and improvements at the state insti- tutions is still under investigation by the new commission.
 We are comparing the official ad- vertisement of the board of regents of the university calling for architects bids,'' said F. c. Struckmeyer, a mem Der of the commission, yesterday, in which advertisement it is stated that the fees are included in the s150,000 ap- propriated for the improvements, with the contract which reads that the fees are in addition to the $150,Q00.
 ''The advertisement also states that the premium to be paid to the architect whose plans are accepted shall be per cent of the s15O00O and that the fees for supervision shall be per cent of the $150000. while in the contract with MT. Lyman he is given 10 per cent for this work"
 MT. Strucl1neyer stated that the commission had come to no decision in regard to the Lyman contract.

UNLUCKY
 NUMBERS ARE TWO
(Popular Science Monthly.)

our only unIucky number is 13. In Japan they have two unlucky numbers -42 and 49 Nobody wants either of these numbers for telephone call, simply because the former is pro- nounced ''shini' which means ito die" and the later is pronounced ''skil1u," which means death" The luckiest telephone number in the estimation of the Japanese business man is eight, which suggests prosperity.

N
Every Country or Commun-
ity can win the right to fly the
Flag shown above, by over-sub-
scribing their quota TO the
Third Liberty Loan.
Doubt may arise in the
minds Of some people as to
whether a flag can be won by a
county only, or by a particular
community. The feeling of the
Government about the matter
Is that where a town or city Is
large enough to have a separate
quota assigned to it, that city
or town can have an Honor
Flag for itself. For instance,
the County Executive Commit
tee will assign a separate quota
for Denison and Sherman in
Grayson County, Texas. This
illustration will give some idea
of how the matter will be AZ
ranged. The rules governing
the question of what commune
ties shall have the right to earn
and fly an Honor Flag must
necessarily be somewhat elastic.
You may be sure Of one thing /.
that wherever a community de-
termines to go "Over the Top
with the Third Liberty Loan,
provision will be made by the
Federal Reserve Bank, as
agent for the Government, for
recognition of the patriotism OF
that community by awarding
an Honor Flag.
The Honor Flag measures
36X51 inches. II has a red Dor
der and a white center, anC
three vertical blue stripes. AS
an additional Honor emblem, 9
Hue star, to be sewn into The
white field Of the Flag, will bs
awarded to communities every
time they increase their quotas
by a hundred per cent. In 9th
er words, If a towns quota L

scriptions reach this amount

men, the men who count for

who have done things, al
most without exception have
been inspired by women. Dante

rates was inspired by a lady

much. Henry VIII of England
made history at the instigation
Of a number Of ladies'. Shelley
wrote some of his best work
under the influence Of Mary
Wolstanecraft-before she be-
came his wife. But these
women never did anything.
They stood on pedestals and

The influence which women
now exert and the inspiration
which they offer to the male Of
the species comes from their
leadership in human activities.
Those of us who are inter-

woman who believes In the
equal civic right Of the sexes
Is bound to take at least as ac-
tive a part in the war as do
the men. She can do no less
unless she wishes TO violate
