first task, has made new frontiers with financial barriers. There is no free flow of industry. At the present time Rotterdam is getting the trade of Antwerp because of the barriers against Germany. We are in bad way because all the governments are committing absurdities."
 Meanwhile, in the social life of Bel gium, I see little. trace of distress outwardly visible, and people of all classes seem to be forgetting the war deliberately and getting as much pleasure as they can buy. It is not the season in Brussels, but the opera last night, as on other nights, was crowded, and, looking around the gor- geous Theater de la Monnaie, with it's painted dome, its gold pillars, it's royal box facing the burgomaster's box, and all these people in the gilt ter and radiance of that beautiful house, I found it hard to realize that here a year ago they were under hos tile rulers and suffering under the stern tyranny of German discipline. They were paying "Marouf' more gorgeousy staged than anything I had seen in London, and admirably played.

KANSAS PLANS PROTECTION IF
 WORKING GIRLS

LAWRENCE, Kas., Oct. 14.-These suggestions for women's welfare may be brought before the Kansas legisla- ture as a result of the recent conven- tion of the Kansas w. c. T. U. here:
 Physical examination of candidates for matrimony.
 Laws to protect young women work ing in private offices
 An appropriation for the erection of a disciplinary building at the girls in dustrial school at Beloit.
 These suggestions were the princi- pal measures in the resolutions adopt ed.
 The Kansas w c. T. U. feels that it's next work is to help rid the state of disease. It desires the next gener- ation to have fewer blind and crippled children. It believes that its ten thousand members can be powerful factor in spreading propaganda for a "social cleanup"
 Following an address on social dis eases" by B. K. Kilbourne of the United States Public Health Service, the women rushed up to Mrs. Minnie D. Grinstead, Kansas first woman legislator, and a member of the W. C.. T. U., asking her to support hygienic measures at the next session.
 Mrs. Grinstead is leading the fight for matrimonial examination. The law to protect young women is being "fathered" by Mrs. Eugenia St. John, w. c. T. U. camp mother at Camp Funston, Fort Riley and Junction City. Mrs. Mitchner, who recently resigned as superintendent of the girls indus trial school at Beloit, is fostering in- terest for an adequate appropriation for a disciplinary building at the school to accommodate girls more than 16 years old needing a course in behavior
 Having several other interests, Mrs. Mitchner, who was elected state presi- dent for the eleventh time, will devote her entire efforts toward w. c. T. U, work.
 In the last few minutes of the con- vention resolutions indorsing the League of Nations were tabled, the convention voting not to take sides in the league controversy. The action followed long discussion of the mer- it's of the proposed league, when the women decided that the delegates knew so little about the real worth of the plan that it was unwise to go on record as supporting either side.
 Resolutions were passed for world wide prohibition, for campaign 10 turn popular opinion against the use of tobacco, for a curfew law against indiscretions in modern dress. A gen eral increase in salaries of officers also was voted yesterday, the salary of the state president being increased
