FINLAND.

Permission for shipment of about
10000 tons of corn and oats to Finland
by way of Sweden has been granted by
the food administration and the war
trade board upon evidence that thou
sands of Finnish people are starv-
ing. An agent of the war trade board
will be sent into Finland from Swe-
den to make certain Germany will
not benefit by the American ship
ments. Doctor Kaarle Ignatius, spe-
clal commissioner of Finland, has ar
ranged for transportation. He says
his people were in pitlable plight. A
frost killed their crops and the stu
alton in Russia made it impossible to
import food from that country. Twelve
million dollars has been paid for food
in Russia which never was delivered.
Doctor Ignatius said, because starving
Russians looted the trains before they
could reach the Finnish border.

Wisconsin Dry Vote In 1919.

The prohibition amendment just

to the 1919 regular session of the Wis

unless it is included in the call of the
special session, which seems unlikely.
These resolutions as passed are sent
to the secretary of state of each state.
1t is then his duty to transmit the doc
ument to the regular session of the leg
islature. II the regular session acts
favorably on the matter that ends it,
said Secretary of State Merlin Hull.
IF the resolution is defeated 1t is the
duty Of the secretary to continue to
transmit the resolution to each regular
session of the legislature for seven
years If the resolution is alive. If the
legislature takes favorable action the
succeeding legislatures cannot recall
the resolution. Favorable action will
close the matter as far as the state is
concerned"

Fewer Accidents Noted.

A remarkable reduction in the num-
her of accidents in Wisconsin during
the last few months Is disclosed in sta
tistics made public by the Industrial
commission. This result George f.
Hambrecht. chairman of the industrial
commission. attributes mainly to the
drive for safety which the commi ssiOn
has been making. About the middle OF
july of this year the commission re-
organized its safety department and
placed \. ]. Williams In charge
Special efforts have been made also
to interest foremen and shop superin-
tendents. The deputies Of the indus
trial commission have held conferences
with f0remen in large plants, and
number Of addresses on safety have
been made.
During each Of the first seven
months OF this year accidents were
materially higher than in the CORE
spending months of 1915. There has
been reduction of IA per cent in the
number of accidents which have oe-
CURED in Wisconsin.

eood Roads eoost RuraI schools.

In states credited with good cOun-
try roads, the rural school attendance
is 50 per cent of the total enrolment
In other states where the roads are
VIGOROUSLY bad the attendance is 81
per cent of the total enrolment.
This is the statement made by the
good roads bureau OF the Associa-
ton of Commerce after an analysis of
figures compiled on this subject
In the first example IS per cent of
the highways are improved and in the
second case only IL per cent of che
roads are improved. Good roads have
been a large factor Ia increasing the
number of consolidated rural schools
In the middle West. 1t is a significant
fact that it is not the improved high
way that Is the heaviest tax on the
farmer, but that 1t is the almost inn
passable and bad roads.
Farmers are no more restricted to
move about at three-mile-an-hou
rate, as is shown by the fact that over
40 per cent of all autos are now sold

the farmers of the United States own
motor-driven vehicles. Iowa, an ugri
cultural state, has car for every nine
Inhabitants: Nebraska follows with

every II. and Kansas and South Da-
kota one for every 10,

SWEDEN.

The new school of technology on
ValhaIlavagen was dedicated October
10 In the presence of a representative
assembly. The new high school, which
Is an imposing structure, and has been
in operation since September !. is the
work of Prof Erik Lallerstadet. 1t
took him four years to put up the
building. which costs about $1,300,OOO
Some of the most noted painters and
sculptors of Sweden nave assisted in
decorating the building. Carl Miles,
the sculptor, has made tie granite Ger
berus group guarding the entrance and
the reliefs above the main pOrtico, and
WAR Jonsson, another sculptor, has
furnished some remarkable works that
decorate the building. The chime In
the tower, which represents the sun
and the moon. is also his work, as
well as some allegorical female figures
on the facade. Among the painters
employed were Professors HjOrtsberg
and Georg PAUL.
A prehistoric loaf of bread has
been found in a burial mound which
dates from the iron age. Two arch
biologists. named hermann and Janse,
who were sent out by the Academy Of
Sciences. made excavations In the
Kummelby Hill In Vikbolandet, Oster-
gotland. and among a number of OBJ
jects which are supposed to date
from the iron age they found fiat
tened cake-shaped loaf of bread. Pro
fessOr Lagerheim of the Stockholm
high school has examined the ancient
bread and holds that 1t was made OF
wheat or barley. The samples of pre-
historic bread found In Sweden are
very few. Two others have also been
found in Ostergotland, which indicates
that this province was a granary even
in prehistoric times.
