NEBRASKA SHOWS WHAT WELL KEPT
 ROAD MAY SAVE

The state engineer of Nebraska has been conducting an extensive cam paign for good roads, and he gives some remarkable results of tests of their economy.
 It has been shown, he finds, that to pull ton over an ordinary earth road, takes 21S pounds of power. To pull it over a macadam road, takes G. 8 pounds of power; over gravelled road, 7S to S1 pounds of power, and over a paved road, 27 pounds of power. It is easy to see how a bad road connecting a food producing dis trict with the railroad adds to the cost of living, and tends to discourage the farming industry.
 AS a result of the showing that has been made of the economy of good roads, many farmers in that state are contributing out of their own pockets sums raging from $500 to 5000 to help the work along. They believe the good road adds that value to their farms. When the people everywhere learn to look at the road question in that light, the present tax on food production caused by the miserable condition of the majority of country roads, will have been removed.
 One interesting result of these Ne braska experiments, was the showing that earth roads can be successfully built for 30 cents a square yard, thus demonstrating that the back roads can be built without incurring a pro- hibftive cost for expensive material and construction.
 The more labor costs, the more necessary good roads become. In the days when farm help was abundant nd 01 f A difference if the farm hand took all day to truck material to the railroad station that should go in half that time over hard roads. But when farm help is so scarce and high priced, it becomes necessary to have the best facilities for transporta- ton.

aside to form an Armenian state, he said:
 Distinctions must be made between Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Old Russia wanted an Armenia reaching to the Mediterranean sea so they might have the outlet they couldn' t get except by possession of Constan- tinopIe. New Russia might not wish to oppress a state so different in pop ulation, also she might not have an interest in troubling us, whereas she would need the Caucasus because of the railway to Batoum and also the oil riches of Baku which have their outlet at Batoum to the world mar kets. Besides, we have assurances from Denikine that we will not be dis turbed.''
 Regarding the League of Nations, the Premier said that, surrounded by Russians, British in Persia and the Turks, the League would be a partial protection but that if America guar anteed the existence of Armenia no neighbor would dare disturb her. eff America will take the mandate for fifteen or twenty years, we are sure the republic will live; surely a race that has kept itself alive for 500 years under Turk rule is worthy of help," said MT. Khatitian.
 Turning to immediate affairs, he continued: There is no Bolshevism among us because of our patriotism. Under our greatest trials, our sol diers, serving in the Russian army, were not affected. The general law lessness now prevalent throughout the Caucasus may be over within year and if Denikine reaches Moscow it will die out of itself. The Bolshe- wiki may yield this winter, as they will be short both of food and fuel. Denikine's occupation of Moscow, however, is not the final solution of Russia's difficulties since he will fol- low the policy of the old empire and thereby create new revolution. Hero among us, it Is astonishing to note that despie starvation we have neith- CT Bolshevism, murder nor violence.
 ~Our people will need relief until next summer only, if matters are ad- justed so they can return to their homes and begin working the fields in April. We can grow enough be- cause we have two harvests.

TRAVEL NOT YET SAFE
 IN MONTENEGRO
Bandits Ilfest Hills and Often Rob Parties of
 Travellers.

Cettinje, Montenegro, Oct. 12. (By the Associated Press.)-Travel un- armed, even for friendly visitors, is not always safe. The mountains are infested with bandits and robbers. Murders are of daily occurrence. Re gently two American Red Cross off, cers, Captain Richard Keller and Captain John Cathey, while taking a camion-load of relief supplies from Podgoritiza to Kolachin, were held up at the point of bayonets by members of a mountaineer band. After much difficulty the Red Cross men were able to convince the bandits that they were Americans and were in Monte negro only to help the sick and wounded. They were permitted to go on.
 On another occasion, Lieutenant James Ashworth, on similar duty for the Red Cross, was held up by a rov- ing band in the mountains between Cattaro and Cettinje. Ignoring their threats to shoot, the young officer doubled the speed of his motortruck and escaped. After these two inci- dents all Red Cross trucks were ac- companied by armed guards.
 There are only a few large towns and communications between these is difficult. The largest town is Podgor- itza, which is the comm erciaI center and is situated among the mountains Cettinje, famous alike as the home of eX-king Nicholas and the scene of Lenhar's popular play, ''The Merry Widow"-which was written in the shadow of the neighboring ountains is town of less than 15,0OO popu- lation and is the seat of the royal Ists. Its tallest building is three stories high. As in most parts or the Bal llans, there are picturesque Turkish mosques and minarets to remind one of the times when the MosIem held sway throughout the Near East.
 A great many of the people of Montenegro are extremely poor. They live in crude houses of stone and mud These houses usually contain single room and arc w,lnout win dows. Timber is so scarce that it has the face value almcst of a precious metal. In the poorer sections of the country the people live in caves In the town of Podgor>-za the cores pondent counted 31 persons in a cave hol1owed in the rock. These unfor- tunates slept together on the bare earth floor and ate out of a common bowl Their only food was that sup piled by the American Red Cross. Their clothing consisted for the most part of scraps of bur1ap and car pet.
 The Americans have been trying to train native girls as nurses, but in the higher Montenegrin circles girl is considered to have forfeited her chance of marriage once she engages in work outside her own home. The peasants, however, have been quite ready to engage in this humane work. Thanks to the work of the Red Cross doctors and nurses, nursing gradual iy Is becoming one of the most honor able professions among the women of Montenegro, where formerly it was looked upon as undignified and de- grading.

Concentrate and Write

Cosno Hamilton, author of Sean dal," the current New York hit. de- clares that there are hundreds of mute, inglorious Miltons.' "They are 'mute,' says MT Hamilton, who is the author of some fifty plays and books, because they have not suffi- cfent power of concentration to sit down long enough and make them selves write their thoughts and fan cies.
 There are at least two Shakes peares in Hoboken. There is an H. G. Wells and a Shaw in Yonkers. Why don't they come to the fore? Because they haven't the terrible power of concentration needed to turn out a book or a play To do this, one must take oneself away from family, God, the devil-every- thing; shut themselves up and do the most arduous, uncomfortable and nerve-racking work imagtnable'

PHYSICIANS DO GOOD WORK IN
 PALESTINE

Officers of the local Zionist Or ganization have received report of the splendid accomplishments of the American Zionist Medical Unit, a body of nearly 50 physicians and nurses dispatched over a year ago to Palestine. pr. I. M. Rubinow, the head of the unit which began func- tioning on Aug. IS, 1918, reports that it has established three hospitals, six dispensaries, three bacteriological in stitutions, two training schools for
 nurses and organized sanitary squads in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, Tiberias and Safed.
 Modern American methods are in vogue in the hospitals esta blished by
 the Unit, which has introduced the Roentgen ray into the medical prac- tice of Palestine, and opened the first ward, in that country for skin diseases. The work in the dispensar- ies is continually developing. The
 number of out-patients in April was 15,000, and in May, 22,70O.
 The training schools for nurses are
 regarded as perhaps the most import
 ant piece of work that the American
 Zionist Medical unit has done. The school in Jerusalem is the largest with thirty pupils. This number is expected rapidly to increase. It is | the only school for nurses in the world, where the students receive their entire training in Hebrew. It is 1 expected that within the next two or three years it will become entirely unnecessary to send nurses from America and that the profession will become one of the recognized voca- tions of Jewish women in Palestine. The chief campaign of the Sanitary Division of the American Zionist Medical Unit was against the mos quito plague. No anti-malaria work
 had been done in Safed prior to the arrival of the units saanitarians, who found 75 per cent. of the inhabitants were victims of the disease. Special
 difficulties were created for the sani- tarians in the fact that so large a proportion of it's population is Arabic, and the idea of pouring kerosene oil into cisterns to make the water fit to drink was beyond their comprehen- sion. It was only arIer the 'mukh- tars''-the seni-omciaI and semi re- igiOuS leaders - were employed as
 assistant inspectors that progress be-
 gan. Lectures were delivered to
 them, with practical demonstrations of the effect of kerosene on larvae,
 and finally the lecturer drank some
 of kerosene-treated water. These
 demonstrations convinced the 'tm mukh-
 tars' to such good effect that shortly
 thereafter Arabs came to pr.
 Schmidt's office to complain that the
 inspectors had not yet kerosened
 their cisterns. Another innovation
 that tended to make this work suc-
 cessful was the training of a number
 of young women as inspectors to
 meet the religious scruple of the Mo
 hammedan women against appearing
 with faces, uncovered before strange
 men. In four weeks the mosquito
 infected cisterns of Safed were reduc-
 ed from 35 to 5 per cent.
 The American Zionist Medical
 Unit was organized by Hadassah, the
 Women's branch of the Zionist or
 ganization of America, and supported
 by that body and the Joint Distribu
 ton Committee.

 sion and fecundity of ideas. There is every expectation that the audience
 will be one of the largest that has yet attended Bridgeport indoor meet ing. Fortunately the hall is one of
 the city's largest so that nobody need
 refrain from attending through fear of being crowded. The Rev. A. E.
 Komara and the Americanization Committee extend a cordial invitation to everybody regardless of national ity. The fine program provided in cludtng as it does national songs both in Szecho- -S1ovak and English, is as surance of an ample entertainment spIendidly rounding out the other fea- lures. Furthermore, admission is to Ibe free. The full program follows: Hon.. John J. Phelan, presiding of f1cer, introduction; America 9th,

Who Is Franchise Larrimore? {?

Between the acts of Scandal when this play had it's New York presentation, several members of the I-knew-her-when' club were at tempting the biography of Miss Fran cis Larrimore. One of the scouts re- called that Miss Larrimore began her career as a dancer with Princess Ra- jah. Later she determined to act rather than dance, and she kept up the il1usive pursuit of an engag cement until she landed with, Where There's a Will" According to the best in- formed member of the club, however, Miss Larrimore was given her first contract by William A. Brady, when he placed her with one of his lover Night companies. Since then she has appeared in many productions, such as 'The Master Mind" Flair and Warmer" Here Comes the Rride,'' .sParlor, Bedroom and Bath," Double Exposure and Some Time
