CHARGE
 CONTRACT BREACH
Directors of Mother Church Charged With Inducing
 Action of Trustees
eY AssneIated Press

Boston, March 2S.--The First Church of Christ Scientist. of Nashville, Tenn, and Henry M. Mason and Annie o. Ma son of Nashville. filed petitions in equity today in the supreme court against the directors of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston and the trustees of the Christian Science Publishing society. The petitioners charge breach of contract by the trus- tees of the publishing society and aHege that the directors of the mother church of Boston induced this action. An order of notice was issued, returnable April s, when a preliminary hearing will be held.
 It is claimed by the petitioners that the directovs of the mother church of Boston a few years ago illegally investigated them and encouraged some of the members of the First Church in Nashville to leave it's membership and form g 'so-called Christian Science so- ciety." The petitioners claim that the directors of the mother church ordered the Nashville church to recognize the Christian Science society and upon re- fusa1 of the directors of the church to do so, the directors of the mother church ordered the Nashville church stricken from the list of churches in the official publication of the Christian Science church.
 Samuel l.. Powers. who is conduct ing the case for the petitioners, charges in the petitions of the Masons that the directors of the mother church ordered them to use their influence to have the Nashville church recognizes the Christian Science society and upon their refusal to do so the directors or dered their names stricken from the list of practitioners in the official church publication.
 MT. Powers claims that, as practical ly all thee hurches and practitioners are included in the lists in the church publication the exclusion of the Nash vile church and of the Masons raises the question of the standing of the church and of the Masons as practi- tioners.
 It is declared that the directors of the mother church are claiming abso- lute power, although the by-laws of the mother church expressly provide that the mother church shall assume no general control of other churches, and that each branch church shall have it's own form of government in con- sonarce with the manual of the moth CT church.

What Is Society Woman? Harrison Rhodes in Harper's Maga-

zine.
 Tn treating of the American society
 woman" we approach figure epic, yet
 somehow indefinable. It is difficult 70
 say just what she is, yet impossible to
 say just what she isn't. She is the gilt
 tering figure of triumphant Columbia,
 incredibly lovely and well dressed,
 not only devoted passionately to pleas
 ure and the arts, but in the vanguard
 os a thousand movements Qor the
 moment let us be no more precise than
 this as to which way they move). She is the arbiter of national elegancies and, heaven knows. she may be the guardian of national destinies.
 The documentary evidence first to hand is naturally in the newspapers. The society woman does not shun pub . lcity; she is in it, as the French say, like a fish in water, not so much re- joicing in the medium in which she swims as knowing no other. For the last 40 years at least the press has been celebrating her. The newspapers strangely at variance with those ob- served at first hand. Even now society reporters present the view that the ladies whom they advertise are race apart. kept in cottonwood except when they emerge for their purely frivolous activities. We still read this kind of thing in the papers: Society girl gives
  woman gives up society for landscape gardening" Society favorite gives up society for war work But the society
 woman never gives up anything, eN- cept an occasional husband en passant. (And even here, in the best circles, 2 woman does not divorce one husband until she is happily engaged to be married to the nex). Indeed, the life of society woman is spent in acquisl- tion rather than renunciation. She does not give up anything for nursing or landscape gardening or war work; she merely adds new activities to her old. If she takes to the hospital or the fields or the canteens. "society'-what- ever that term as loosely employed by the reporters may mean-is already there or soon will be. She may be more in society than ever, and the cynical may evep accuse her of nourishing so- cial ambition at the very heart of her altruism.

Famous Sunken Treasure Ships


 In the course of an article outlining the possibilities for salvagng vessels sunk. by U-boats, A. Russell Bond, in Everybody's, mentions some instances of buried treasure that has never been re- covered.
 "One of the most interesting wrecks on record is that of the British frigate Lutine, which was sunk off the coast of Holland in l7e9. It was customary in those days to carry much gold and silver on war vessels, and this particular ship was known to have 1900 gold bars and 300 bars of silver. with total value of over $G,000,000 It was driven aground in a storm and sank in comparatively shallow water Great Britain at that time was at war with France, and Holland, an ally of France, claimed the frigate as a prize of war. The water was so shallow that at low tide it was possible for a fisherman to reach it with scoops and grapples and recover some of it's treas ure. A salvage company organized by the Dutch people to recover the wealth of the Lutine succeeded in getting not more than $500, 900 worth of gold and silver. The position of the wreck, however, was de- cidedly unfavorable. It was in an ex- posed spot and the bottom was swept by strong tidal currents. Gradually it be- came buried in sand, and all salvage operations had to cease.
 There are other rich treasures in the sea. In Cumana bay. Venezuela, lies the wreck of the Spanish flag ship San Pe- dro, with $2,00o000 worth of gold on board, which so far has defied all attempts at salvage. The richest treasure of all is probably a Spanish galleon, sunk off Lizard point on the Cornish coast, in 1784. which is believed to have aboard sS5.0Oo.- 600 worth of gold.
 But we need not go so far afield for valuable wrecks. Our own lakes are filled with them. In fact Lake Huron is known locally as the Lake of Sunken Treasure It is estimated that some $12, ,OO0,000 worth of gold and silver are buried in the deeps of the great lakes"

Changing EmplOyes
From Bigger Business From B .. Health" by O. J. Hamilton and

From Bigger Business From Better Health" by O. J. Hamilton and Alan
 Denby, in Physical Culture.
 Tt costs me 5000 every time I em- ploy a new travelling salesman" said a manufacturer to the writer sometime ago. Before he learns the ropes and begins to be efficient, no matter how much native talent he may have for the position, he has cost me 5000 in profits on lost sales" Experts have made cal culations, based on thousands of cases, which show that even substituting one ordinary unskilled worker for another in factory costs between $45 and $50 for each case; while in the instance of fairly skilled workers, shift cost be- tween $20O and $225. The greater the skill the greater the expense.
 The reason employers of labor are not more concerned about this problem is that heretofore figures on the sub ject have been almost impossible to ob- tain. The losses do not appear any where in a trial balance. They are re- flected only in lost profits, which is a phase of business of which most people are woefully ignorant. In these effici- ent days, however, they can no longer be ignored. Every business man should know, not merely what profits his busi- ness Is making, but what profits it is possible for him to make, based on the size of his potential market, and the possible productive capacity of his plant. And the man who studies his problems in this scientific. sensible health of his working force at it's max mum is one of the most important and earliest of tasks which he must face.

An Onfdoor Country
From 'The Gypsy Trail" by Julia

From The Gypsy Tra1l, by Julla M. Sloane in Scribner's.
 They say that if you spend year in southern California you will never be able to leave it. I don't know. We haven't tried. The only possible req son for going back would be that you aren't in the stirring heart of things here as you are in New York, and the Times Is five days old when you get it. Your friends--they all come to you if you just wait little. What amazes them always is to find that southern California has the most perfect sum mer climate in the world, if you keep near the sea. No ralli--many are the umbrellas have gently extracted from the relsctant hands of doubling visi- tors; no heat such as we know It Tn the east. We have an out-of- doors din- ing room, and it is only two or three times in summer that it is warm enough to have our meals there. In the cities or the back country" 1t is different. I have felt heat in Pasadena that made me feel in the same class with Shad- rach, Meshach and Ahsdnego, but never by the sea.
 One result of all this fresh air Is that we won't even go indoors to be amused. Hence the outdoor theatre. Why go to play when it's so lovely outside? But to go to play out-of- uoorS III an eHcHdntluE GTcoA euS"ei 2 with real moon rising above it-thats another matter! I shall never forget "A Midsummer Nights Dream" as giv- en by the Theosophical society at Point Loma Strolling through the grounds with the mauve and amber domes or their temples dimly lit. found myself murmuring: Tn Xanadu did Kugla Khan stately pleasure dome decree In canyon by the sea we found theatre. The setting was perfect, and the performance was worthy of 1t. Never have I seen that play so beau tifully given, so artisticany set and delightfully."- acted, though the parts were taken by students In the Theo- sophical school. After the last ador- able little fairy had toddled on-l hope ] to bed-we heard a youth behind us ob- serve: 'Thesc nuts sure can give a
 play" We. ezAj his sentiments.

AUSTRIAN VIEW PRESENTED


 Paris, March 2S.-(Havas)--A symposium Of the views of Austrian statesmen on the question of the eventual union Of Gelman-Austria and Germany is present. ed by the Petit Parisian.
 President Seitz would not refuse to grant plebiscite, because he does not fear a return of German imperialism after it's failure.
 Foreign Minister Boehn shares the same opinion and thinks it is impossible to realize a confederation of the Danube. German-Austria he said, was without resources and could not exist alone. It must be united with Germany.
 Dr. Renner, the chaNcellor, believes that the union of Austria and Germany is al ready completed. Count Czernin, former Austro Hungarian foreign minister, thinks that the Austrian situation must remain undetermined until the peace ne gotiations are completed.
 He would then favor referendum on the fate of Austria.

DOughbOys Travel in Horse-Cars

''The experiences of four years of war;" writes Maj.-Gen. Omar Bundy in Every body's. has made the French very adept in the movement of troops by rail. Their military trains are of 8 standard type Of 50 cars each. There is one passenger car; all of the others are either flat or box freight cars. Each box car is marked with it's capacity of horses and men, and the distinction made between them de- pends only on which it is desired to car- ry. A car used for horses today may be used for men tomorrow. In our own coun- try of luxurious railroad travel there would perhaps have been objections to the use of such transportation, but this was wartime in France, and is one of the many instances in which discomfort was accepted by our splendid men as matter of course and without murmur of discontent."
