Baby Victims of Hum
Horrors in War Zone
Chilly Goat Is 0rnery
Cuss," Says Physician

Santa Ana.-"The billy goat
is an ornery cuss." This is the
verdict Of DR.. w. @. Dubois,
after an experience that he
doesn't care to repeat.
The physician was making a
professional call in the suburbs,
and inadvertently left the door
of his car open. A billy goat
was eating tin cans and Ber-
muda grass nearbys the auto
seat looked very inviting, and
the goat entered, ensconsing
himself comfortably upon the
cushion.
Having completed his call, the
DOCTOR tried to. "shoo" the ami
NAL out, but it refused to be
shooed. A grab at one of it's
hind legs resulted in a brief en-
counter which was not disas-
trous, but brought the GOATS
horns into play.
All other means failing, Du-
bois then possessed himself of a
long pole and with one mighty
heave pushed the obstinate
thing from out his car. This
done, he had to keep the goat
at the end of the pole until he
could start the car and make
his getaway.

Thousands of Little Unfortunates
Still Show Many Traces of
Savage Barbarity
EDUCATION IS IN ARREARS
For a Generation Children Will Con-
tinue to Study on a rs per Cent
Efficiency Basis--Trying
to Equip Schools.

New YOrk.-EducatiOn in northern
1t cannot recommence until Germany
pays the war damages to France, and
France subdivides the indemnity into
the proportions demanded by each de-
partment canton and commune for the
erection and equipment Of schools.
AS Germany is only expected to pay
25000,000 francs Immediately and the
rest in twenty. years, the most hopeful
outlook for French education is one
quarter of the prewar force and equip
ment within the next two decades.
IN the meantime, says the Brooklyn
Lagle, children who ceased to attend
school in 1914 are five years in arrears,
and for a generation will continue to
study on % per cent efficiency basis.
The instructor often returns to
ruined village long before there is any
school for him to teach. His own home
is q heap of ruins and he has to COM
mence to dig among the debris to find
any buried belongings, and to erect out
himself. The government is supplying
as fast as possible wooden barracks,
one end of which is sometimes par
titioned for the teacher to live in, the
other end for the scholars to cOngre-
gate.
Living in Duuouts.
When the government cannot supply
the barracks, people Of the town have,
salvaged the corrugated iron dugouts
left by the Germans called NeiSsen
huts. These dugouts are like barrel
cut lengthwise and bombproof; also
these iron shelters are sweltering hot
in summer and bitter cold in winter.
They were meant to be placed under
ground, not used as surface buildings,
but any shelter in the devastated re-
gion is acceptable, and this salvage
can replace the school buildings.
Inside these improvised schoolhouses
there is nothing. An enterprising
schoolmaster will find planks in the
nearby trenches, and if he can find
roils he will knock together bench
his pupils to sit upon. If he can
obtain chalk, he has his class in arith-
metic figure on the rough walls in lieu
of blackboard. If he has sufficient
memory he teaches his pupils what he
remembers of history and geography.
A survey made in July, 1919, showed
that in 65 Of the villages under the
supervision of the American commit
tee, % improvised schools had been
opened, and four were expected to
open in October. From the 80 villages
still without instructors or school shei-
ter, the children must walk from three

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Improper care of hogs following
their immunization against hog chOl-
era, administered in public stock yards
and after arrival at their destination,
has resulted in losses which may be
materially decreased. The following
instructions for the prevention of
losses are valuable:
Shipments should be made prompt
~ after immunization, or should be
delayed for not less than ten days.
Truck hauls and shipments not ex-
ceeding 36 hours in length can be made
promptly to advantage.
"Avoid crowding; allow stocker hogs
relatively more floor space than fat
hogs.
1T is important that drinking water
be constantly accessible to the hogs,
except in severe winter weather. If the
car does not contain special water de-
vices, water trough, protected by
Stats over it's top, should be securely
fastened to the floor.
"Little or no feed is necessary dur
ing the "a hours following incubation,
but clean water should be accessible
Short-haul shipments need not be fed
in transit.
"When hogs arrive at their destina-
ton they should not be driven over
the roads. but hauled from the car to
the farm in wagons or trucks. Load
and unload gently. Avoid chasing and
unnecessary excitement in handling.
In summer, unload where there is
natural woodland shade a2or shelter
pens; in winter, where tn are suit
able clean, bedded houses
Protection against rain should be

do not permit wallows in pasture
or lot. The use of wallows by recent
ly inoculated hogs may produce pneu-
monia.

season, allow shipped hogs limited

that should bring the best results
large sum of money must be raised.
The child work is divided into the
two phases of mental and physical aid.
Trying to Equip Schools.
To equip a schoolhouse with sufi-
cient books for the winters work 500
is sufficient. To completely equip the
schoolhouse with benches and desks,
maps, blackboards, stationery, etc.,
$500 is needed.
Besides the schools carried on I'M
der government supervision there are
now established in some villages kim
dergarten work, domestic science work
and manual training. Any donations
marked for education will be turned
into this fund to bring back to normal
mentality the children who have run
wild and neglected since before the
war.
Compulsory education in France
ceases when the pupil is fourteen.
Boys and girls Of fourteen have no
more schooling than they had five
years ago. Children Of ten have not
vet learned to read and write. Ba-
bies of five years old think war is the
natural state of affairs. All the chill
dren are undernourished. Not one in
the district knows the taste Of fresh
milk.
The children here were. before the
war, the finest physical type France
produced. The climate is bracing and
there was an abundance Of butter,
milk and eggs. The poorest family
owned a goat, chickens and rabbits;
the weather. families had many cows.
All of this live stock the Germans
took. and the children and nursing
mothers were deprived of protein,
without which there is no growth.

TWine Trail Leads to
Recovery of Cash Box

Conneaut, GA ball of store
Irvine led to the finding of a
cash register containing $50
which burglars stole from a local
meat market. When the proprie-
tor was called to the door from
his bed upstairs by a knock he
was struck by a brick hurled
through a window.
He was only slightly injured
and ran out the door to search
for an officer. When he and the
policeman returned the cash reg
lister was gone.
The burglars abandoned it in
a gulley several rods away after
trying in vain to open it. The
Irvine was carried all the way,
unraveling from the store, and
led to finding the cash box.

to ten miles to the nearest schod.
This walk in winter, in the fog and
rain and mud, ill-clad and undernour-
ished, is a strain upon the frail con-
stitutions that may result in the loss
Of young life.
The children at home, sheltered in
the cellar of a destroyed house where
many people live together, a calico cur
tain sometimes the only wall sNparat-
ing family beds, are under as unhealthy
conditions and as exposed as on the
trip to the nearest schOolhouse. If the
schoolhouses were equipped, the jour-
ney to school on winters day would
be worth while, but as it is, the only
inducement held out to the youth of
the isolated villages is the afternoon
"gouter" or four o'clock lunch pro-
vided by the Hoover commission and
distributed by the American commit
tee.
Patriotic Though Suffering.
The instructors are government paid,
their salaries varying from $50 to 300
francs a month. The French govern
ment owns the school buildings and
equips the schools, the taxes in the
past levied on the cOmmunes making
possible this support. When communes
are wiped out and buildings are nom
existent, taxes cannot be levied, and
until a readjustment of government
finances is accomplished there is little
prospect of adequate school facilities
in the war-wrecked area.
Motol one afternoon through the
beautiful Aisne valley, where scarlet
peoples covered the pock-maked fields
and the great war seemed as far away
as the Roman wars, workers of the
American committee on devastated
France heard the faint strains of
poor violin and the high-pitched voices
of children singing the "Marseilles."
They stopped the motor and up on a
bluff by the roadside saw tiny hut
to which they climbed and found nine
children grouped around a boy Of
twelve playing his homemade instru-
ment and leading the singing of their
national anthem.
The DAYS instruction was over and
the children were about TO scatter, but
every day before they paired their pa
triotism broke forth in song.
These are the children whose ter
rible war experiences have left them
nervous and frightened and who must
live for many years to come among
surroundings of desolation and sad
ness.

the low birch rate, but the dreadful

democratic members of the house

tempt impeachment of the major
ity committee report censuring the
War department for delaying sale of
surplus foodstuffs and asking adop-
ton of policy of immediate distri-

committeeman.
By strict party vote, the demo-
Gratis request for re-opening of

report. Simultaneous with their
failure and the direction by the re-
publican members that a rule be
asked for immediate house consider
alton of the resolution calling for a
policy of sale at once to the con-

ed to submit a minority report,
challenging the statements of the

Because of prospective argument
of democrats that change in policy
of sale would result in the foodstuffs
falling in the hands of specula-

TWO MEN CAUGHT
WITH MASKS AND
GUNS IN POCKETS
Police Believe They Have
Male Companions of Laugh
ing Woman" Bandit.

Police believe they have captured
the to male companions of the
Laughing Woman" bandit.
They were arrested last night and
gave the names of James Blacker
and James Davis.
The Laughing Woman" bandit
took part in sticking up" motorists
stopped by motor or tire troubles.
Guns and masks were found in
Blacker's and Davis pockets. They
were arrested at a downtown hotel.
The woman bandit first came to
police notice when Al Vody, a tran
sient guest at the Paxton hotel, was
accosted by two men and a woman
who alighted from big touring car.
Vody was repairing a tire near the
Municipal beach. Vody and his
companion, |. Nagle, yielded $32 to
the gentle feminine touch. She, bade
the two men laughing farewell as
the big car got under way.
J. H. White, l727 Leavenworth
street, was robbed under similar con-
ditions. In company with J. H.
Hauser, he was fixing a punctured
tire near Sixth and Pierce streets.
White gave up 800. Hauser was
robbed of $3. And the bandit
woman laughed again.
Police have little hope Of arresting
her, due to the meager descriptions
given by her victims.
