BELGIUM NOW FACES CRISIS
 ea ~
 IN POLITICS
Some of the Inside Side lights Are Given in As- Sociated Press Cor
 respondence.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 1.-(Correspond ence of the Associated Press)-Bel- gium is facing a crisis in it's poli- tical history. The present Govern ment comprising of six Catholics, three Liberals and three Socialists is acknowledged everywhere to be only a provisional one, Government of transition. A real Government which will direct the. reconstruction of Bel gium is in the making
 It is not expected that elections can be held in less than six months Meanwhile the political fight will be waged upon a basis of universal sui frage-one man, one vote. Before the war the priests had four votes, land owners and nobles as many votes as they had estates in differ ent provinces and Socialists and Lib erals only one vote each. The So cialists were mostly working men and the Liberals mostly professional men. This enabled the Catholic par. ty to be in power for more than forty years Under the universal suffrage system which would rele gate priests and land owners tomthe same category as working men, doc tors and lawyers, it is asserted the Catholic Party may be placed in the minority. Nevertheless, Cardinal Mercier's great personality and the energy and enthusiasm he displayed in behalf of Belgians during the wal is said to have greatly helped the cause of the Catholic party.
 One cause of bitterness and ami mostly, in Belgium is the Flemish movement which now is practically dead owing to the efforts of the late German Governor Von Bissing tc make use of it to divide Belgium into two parts. It is expected thai the Flemish movement will revive when life resumes normal conditions but it is held in abeyance now through fear that it might be con strued as German propaganda. King Albert in his speech to the Parlia ment after returning to Brussels an nounced that the Government vii propose bill to create the bases o a Flemish university at Chent re serving the details to the new Par lament to be abetted later.
 Pro-German and "activists" wht supported the German scheme t' drive a wedge between the Flemisi and the Walloons in Belgium arc now ostracised socially. Many ar rests have been made in Brussels Ghent anh Bruges The people O Chent divide their hatred and bitter ness evenly between the Germani and the "activists" Brduges is filled with deep-rooted hatred of every thing German while Brussels ridi cules both pro-Germans and "ac twists"
 In Brugcs 153 women who deal with Germans were beaten and theil hair was shorn. In Ghent pro-Ger mans and "activists" both men ant women were physically punished.

HOW TO Be BOTH
USEFUL and GOOD
Two Interesting Pamphlets
Sent Out to the Public
Schools.

Two pamphlets were sent out by
County superintendent of Schools
Homer c. Toothman yesterday to
every school principal and. teacher In
Marion county, one on the subject,
"a Community Center-what it is
and How to oragnize it" and the 9th
er entitled Training in Courtesy
Suggestions for Teaching Good Man
ners in Elementary Schools"
These bulletins are published by
the Bureau of Education of the De-
partment of the Interior and come
from the government printing office
at Washington.
What is community center Is
discussed with methods of organizing
the community forum, nelghborhood
clubs, home and school leagues, com
munity banks, and various other
means Of getting together for mutual
benefit.
Training 10 Courtesy Is a fascinat-
ing little volume in which the long
remembered please don't" OF the do
nestle circle is suggested by the man
datory do not" of a government that
becomes more paternal every year.
The pamphlet is profusely illus
trated with half-tone pictures of lit
tie children being shown the correct
method Of cleaning the teeth, getting
on and off cars, tidying up the prem
Uses after picnics and various other
important acts of every day life.
Grown-ups are not forgotten, either,
as is shown by two pictures illustrat-
ing the correct method Of eating.
Truth to tell, however, the lady with
arms aklmbo and firm grasp Of the
tools in her fists, seems to be getting
a lot more enjoyment out of her per-
forhance than the one who holds her
knife and fork in the most approved
finished school fashion.

little maids from school are shown
walking abreast arm-ln-arm after the

Another picture shows a young
man standing talking to lovely
young person with his hat in his
hand. The pamphlet is gotten up by
Margaret s. McNaught, Commission
er of EDUCATION of California, who Of
course could not have had in mind
the blizzard that struck these parts
last night.
