The American Committee for Relief
in the Near East reports that 300
women, under nine overseers, are en-
gagged in making garments, with a
weekly output of 1850. Sixty addition
al women were about to be given work
when the report was made on March
27. Thirty-six expert lace workers
were at work and a class of twenty
seven learners had been begun. Over
1000 women were waiting for work IN
Jerusalem, while at Ramallah, Belt
Jalah Bethlehem the need for employ
ment is even greater, but leaders are
required.
In caring for the medical needs
two free dispensaries have been
started by the fund in the Jerusalem
Zone and approximately $500 cases
have been assisted in them since their
opening.
Feeding the starving: A soup kitch-
en- was opened at the L. J. S. Boys
School on March Is. One hundred
destitute were served the first day
but 1000 can be fed there when sup
plies are forthcoming.

DEAD OF STARVATION
10000 PERSONS PERISH IN PER
SIAN CAPITAL ALONE.
Has Lost Nearly Half Its Entire Popu
Iation, and Nation Suffers for
Remaining Neutral While
Turkish Threatened.

People all over Persia are falling
| dead as fast as autumn leaves from
| the trees. 100000 persons have died in
the past year in Teheran alone from
| starvation and the diseases which fol-
low malnutrition. Unless help on a
large scale is prompt, the entire coun-
| try will be threatened, is the substance
of unofficial letters just received by
Mira Ali Kuli Khan, ND, Persian
| Charge d'Affaires to the United States.
In making this information public,
DR.. Khan stated, "The Persian Gov
eminent has not officially asked for
help. This is not an official appeal for
being, however, my conscience COM
pels me to call to the attention of the
generous American public that my
cOuntry-men are facing the prospects
of the coming winter with shudder.
At the time the letters were written
thousands of dead awaited burial at
Teheran."
DR.. Harry Pratt Judson, as a repre-
sentative of the American Committee
for Relief in the Near East, is render
ing a great service with the 100000 a
month which is sent him, but this
does not begin to meet the need.
Workers, food and medical supplies
must Immediately be sent to Persia on
a large scale if the cradle of the white
mans civilization is to be saved from
utter ruin. 1t is for Persia as we'll as
Armenia that $3O,0O0,000 campaign
is now in progress.
In light of the fact that Persia has
rendered great service to the allied
cause by remaining neutral, and that
now famine and plague threaten to
wipe her out of existence, Dr. Khan
was asked what part his country
might take in the coming peace con-
ference, but on this he only said,
''That will be settled later. Now, how
ever, my poor starving, plague strick-
en- country must be helped. AS con-
sequence of the War, Persia's COM
merce has suffered seriously. The
government and leading people have
done their utmost to relieve the stu
alton but without further aid, food
and medical supplies, the coming win
ter will cut off large sections of the
surviving population"

AGENTS DEMAND
 INCREASED WAGES

LONDON.-Two thousand agents employed by a London insurance company have notified their em- ployer's officers that they will strike unless their weekly wage of about S14.65 is increased by s5. They have also inaugurated a movement to organize the agents of other companies, and thus enforce the de mand throughout the country.
 At the preliminary meeting, when the demands were formulated, and the men appointed committee to call on the directors, their leader, David Jones, of Leeds, advised them to make their demands retroactive from January l, 1918, in order that they might be repaid for the advanced cost of living in the last year of the war. If your demands are refused" says MT. Jones, take concerted action within a month. '' The suggestion was cheered.
 The men claim that the company pays to it's stockholders 40 per cent, free of income tax, on a capitaliza tion of s5,00O,00O.

WHEN YOUR AUTO is STUCK
United States Tire Company Offers sus
sestions That May Save You Hauling
IL Out With Team

A resourceful motorist whose car
has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to fall back on a pair of
mules to get free. For such an en-
ergency the United States Tire Com
pany offers some suggestions that
have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car a stack
of newspapers. When the car gets
stuck and the wheels refuse to take
hold. feed in some of the old papers
between the tires and the mud
Usually only few will have to be
worked in before the wheels will be-
gin to grip and the car start for
ward. This method of handling a
difficult situation is so simple and so
uniformly successful, that every
motorist should know of it and carry
a pile of old newspapers. unless he is
equipped with some other apparatus
for such contingency.
Here is the other method suggested
by the United States fire Company:
Put the car in low. and if you can
not feed the gas with your foot even-
ly. so that the wheels will revolve
slowly, put your emergency brake
on. Do not put it on so that the
wheels will not revolve at all, but
tightly enough to keep them from
revolving rapidly. With the wheels
turning slowly. the maximum pull is
delivered to them by having the car
in low gear, and so long as they turn
slowly they can get the benefit of the
tremendous power.
1t is not always wise to fill the hole
with stones or bricks. for their rough
edges are hard on tires. Small
braAches oftrees are better. as they
offer much better tractive space.
Should this method fail. quite often
"a slight push that would not much
more than move baby buggy will
furnish just the added amount Of
lower necessary to get the car going.

MENT CONTROL OF DOMAINS
Will Meet at Salt Lake July 81
to Form Plans For Leasing
Proposition Would Prevent
Overstocking of Ranges and De-
struction of Feed.

Salt Lake Tribune: Live stock men
from all parts of the west are to
meet in Salt Lake July Fl next to
launch formal campaign to bring
about National legislation for Feder-
al control of unappropriated public
domain in the western States.
The plan is to work for a leasing
proposition which will enable stock
men to lease the public domains
which they have been using for graz
ing purposes and to prevent over
stocking of the ranges with resultant
destruction of feed and losses of
stock.
The initiative in this important
move for the western States, espec-
tally those wherein live stock is one
of the principal businesses, was taken
by the Arizona Cattlegrowers' As
sociation and has been taken up by
the American National Livestock As
sociation. the National Woolgrowers'
Association and the various live
stock and woolgrowers' organiza-
tions of almost every western State.
All of the State organizations have
signified their intention of having
delegates present at the meeting ~
be held in Salt Lake and it is exSact-
ed that notable gathering OF west
ern live stock raisers will be isi the
city on the date set. IN
1t is proposed that at this rshssyiTg
definite action shall be taken loeliag
toward immediate enactment BY
Congress of a Federal law which ~f'l
place all unappropriated public so-
main in the western States under
Federal control and upon a leasing
system which will protect the genar-
al interests of the live stock raiser
and will enable the development and
extension of this industry through
out the West.

Poisoned Wheat For Squirrels

Twenty tons of poisoned wheat to
be distributed throughout tho State
for the destruction of squirrels has
been prepared by the biological Sur
vey of the Department of Agrieul-
ture and is being distributed by the
State Rabies Commission from both
the Elko and Reno Offices.
There has been big demand for
it and orders are coming in rapidly
still. The poisoned grain is put up
in four, ten and fifty pound contains
ers and is shipped to any part of the
State. The cost to the farmer is tive
cents pound. about one-third of the
cost of preparing the poison. Blanks,
that can be obtained at any postof-
flee in the infested areas. must be
filled out and sent to the Reno or
Elko Office before the grain is shipped.

BASQUE Killed in Elko County

Jose Gambler, a basque cook in
the employ of Pete Jauriguia. was
shot and instantly killed by one of
his companions last Tuesday, says
the Elko Free Press. The men had
just established shearing camp in
the canyon and were waiting for the
sheep to arrive. After dinner they
started shooting match, one of the
men having an automatic pistol.
When the other man asked to ex-
anime the automatic the owner
slipped the magazine out but over
looked taking out the cartridge in
the barrel, and while looking at it
one of the men pulled the trigger
and the ball struck and passed
through Camblor's head, striking
just below the left eye. From all re-
ports the shooting was accidental.
and is another case of not knowing
that the gun was loaded.
