UNCLE SAM HAS JOBS
FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS

Washington, Dec. 30.-Soldiers who
are partially disabled from wounds
received in the war are to be assisted
i'll finding employment in civil posi-
tions under the war department, ac-
cording to information received from
the u. S.. Civil Service Commission.
1t is stated that the war depart
ment, the federal board for vocational
education, and the civil service COM
mission will within a short time have
completed a plan they have had under
consideration for some time, one of
cooperation whereby the employ
ment under the war department of
partially disabled soldiers; including
those who ordinarily would be barred
from civil positions because of their
physical condition, will be facilitated
in every way possible, and which will
permit the employment of partially
disabled men on the same basis as
those who have not sustained physical
injury.
The war department has consider
ably more than 100000 civilian en-
plCyees In its various establishments,
and it is believed by government Of
ficials that this large force can alb
sorb several thousand partially dis
aEled men without serious detrimenl
to the service.
The civil service commission states
that circular setting forth the plan
in full will be ready for distribution in
two or three weeks.

COST OF LIVING HIGH;
COST OF DYING HIGHER
ASSOCIATED Press)

Berwick, Eng, Dec. 30-The cost of
living in Odessa is about 300 times
more than before the war. says Miss
Russell, sister of the local food con-
troller, who has just returned from
that Russian city. She lived there for
two and one-half years,
A pair of boots. she says, cost from
1000 to 5000 rubles-a years salary
and dress was only to be had at a
similar ruinous figure. In Odessa the
day before she left the English pound
was equivalent to 800 rubles instead
of less than ten as in pre-war days.
"The bolshevixi." she explained,
"are communists and the principle of
the communists is everything for
themselves and nothing for the rest
The others they say have had their
turn, and they treat them with ruth
less cruelty. Life for the educated
people is utterly impossible. Those
who have money are fast eating into
their capital; those who have not are
dying of starvation. That also is ar
expensive business, for the cost o1
collins has reached a prohibitive
figure"

DUTCH CUSTOMS CHANGE

The Hague. Dec. 8.-(Correspond-
sence of the associated Press. The
IDEALS and ideas Of Dutch women. for
centuries confnde to children, kitchen
and church. have undergone change
ard @ste daughtess of the land of
wIndmiils and canals are making a
strong fight for their rights.
Several great organizations have
been formed for improvement of the
conditions of women. With the re-
vision Of the Dutch constitution last
year, women obtained full suffrage
and the result is that now there are
women in nearly every .town council.
Realizing, however. that the pos
session Of the vote alone does not de-
eide the lot of women, the promoters
Of the movement are now seeking to
bring about changes in the laws and
regulations which discriminate against
the sex economically and socially.
According to the Dutch law" said
Mrs. Wiinandts Francken, one of the
leaders of the, women's movement,
"the father has practically all the
say about the education of the chill
dren. He decides as to their future,
consents to their marriage and may
send them wherever he likes. Of
course, this is Of no Importance what
ever in good marriage, where father
and mother together debate about
such things, but this power of the
fethef may easily be abused. know
of seevraI cases in which the father
deliberately took child away and
hid it from its mother, without the
latter being able to do anything
against this course. as the law was
on the side of the father.
Another thern IN the flesh of the
Dutch women is that she must prom
isc obedience to her husband In the
VOW of marriage. Now, please don't
think that these women are averse to
rule ard order. They only want to be
the equals Of their husbands, not their
housekeepers.
AS things are now. a Dutch wom-
an has. to suffer almost anything from
q tyrannical husband and nothing
short of adultery or bodily i'll usage
can rid her of his despotism.
Zone Of the greatest obstacles these
women leaders have to overcome is
the conservatism of the old-fashioneC
women, who, especially in the rura
districts, form great part of the
population. But the women who are
fighting for the betterment of then
sex hope in the end to succeed II
conquering this prejudice"
