P0DGORITZA, Montenegro.-(By
Mail, )-Twenty-nine American sew
ing machines that have produced
hundreds of garments for the poor
of Podgoritza are today the path
finders in industrial education for
women in Montenegro.
The sewing machines had been
used in the workroom of the Ameri-
can Red Cross here, where native
women were taught to sew and to
make over American hospital gar
ments for their poor They will form
the nucleus of the first industrial
school for girls that Montenegro has
ever seen.
After turning out Pip garments
for women and children in two
months, the supply of material gave
out because of the difficulties Of
Montenegreon transportation. The
machines stood idle. But the women
who had become so expert in sew
ing with them held a consultation.
They wanted the machines TO keep
on working.
A committee under Mrs. Coro-
witch, the forewOman who had cut
out every one of the Pip garments
with the care and thrift OF an
American chapter worker, presented
their plan to the chief nurse. They
asked for the loan of the workroom
and of the twenty-nine machines to
start sewing school for the girls of
Podgoritza.
Never before in the history OF
Montenegro has there heen industrial
education for young women. The
men, II they have the money, may
80 to the gymnasium. But educa-
tion for girls-neyer! The twenty
three women who had gained Amer.-
can skill in two months had learned
something and with the air OF the
Americans they planned the first
sewing school. The school has Just
begun, after turning away three
times the applicants il could admit.

Osteopath Scores
Inspection System

At the meeting of the Southern
Oregon Osteopathic association held
in Ashland the first of the week, Dr.,
r. j. Ruddy of Los Angeles, stated
that "In the examination of children
of school age, it is commonly found
that they can be grouped in three
classes: we'll, sick and mal-nour-
ished
"The average school inspection
nurse, and in many cases, physicians,
passed upon those who were sick
and those who were well, wholly
overlooking the poorly nourshed
group which constitutes So per cent
of all children.
Under the present school system,
all are compelled to meet the same
requirements and progress at the
same speed with the result that 33
out of every 100 children finish their
common school education physically
unfit, and this without the family
physician and school instrutor know
ing why
"If school inspection systems are
to be more than farcical in guiding
our future generation, something
must be done more than looking at
test charts, examining the throat and
filling out blanks. Every organ and
every activity of the mind must be
tested for their function and surely
nurses cannot be expected to do but
a small part OF this work"

/ LONDON.-British military ex
perts believethe Russian Bolshevik
cannot Withstand the onslaughts oi
their enemies longer than twt
months and that something definite
is likely to happen in the Russian
campaign by December /.
1t is pointed out that the Bolshevi
XII have employed German tactics in
moving men from one front to an
other with more or less success but
that recently each success has been
a little less marked than the pre-
vious one and that II is reasonable
to suppose that such tactics in the
end must break down unless one
enemy is completely subdued. When
the Bolsheviki centered against Kol-
chak some months ago and drove
him back 700 miles, their southern
front was left weak whereupon Cen
eral Denikine started his advance
which has resulted in clearing up
South Russia.
The Bolsheviki have withdrawn
many men from the Kolchak front,
giving theadmiral a chance to adj
vance. In the meantime the western
front has become a menace to Boil
shevism. The British experts believe
peace was broached to the Baltic
states because the Bolsheviki realized
they no longer could hold back their
enemies on three sides and maintain
the force in Northern Russia also.

STRIKES ARE COMMON
THROUGHOUT AUSTRIA
(By the United Press)

VIENNA-StrlKe succeeds strike
throughout Austria and particularly
in Vienna. Wage and salary earners
of every kind are affected. Iu near
ly every instance concessions follow.
The crown lately has had an actual
purchasing value OF about two cents
American and continues at present
to depreciate while the government
printing presses try to keep up the
supply to pay the government sal
aries.
Food is scarce and usually of poor
quality, particularly the bread,
coarse, heavy and almost black.
Prices go up as the crown falls
A suit of clothes that last week was
priced at 2400 crowns is this week
5000 crowns.
But Vienna is quiet, although still
congested and with large idle pop
ulation drawing out-of-work stipends
from the government. This element
is gradually being reduced, however,
the figures showing 1920 at pres
ent as against 10000 a few weeks
ago.

MISUNDERSTANDING to Control
Ter Hands OF the prOfiteering de.
partment OF the government, every
effort is to be made to track the
British profiteer to his lair. He
took as an illustration a complaint
that might be made against tailor
Tor overcharging for a suit of clothes.
"The tailor" he said, "will be
obliged to produce his invoices and
show what he had to give for the
material and labor, He may con
tend that he is not making an un-
reasonable profit, and it may be
found that he is paying too much for
his clothes.
In that case the central committee
which is able to tell almost to the
fraction Of penny the cost through
all stages OF manufacture, will see
II the cloth is too dear. It will be
the duty Of the committee, in fact,
to trace back every price to its
source"

TOKYO.-(By Mail.) - "Japan's
prestige and interests are at stake
at the Washington labor conference, "
was Premier Hara's statement at a
luncheon when he entertained Uhei
Masumoto and other members of the
labor delegation about to leave for
the United States.
The reference made by the Japa-
nese premier to Japan's prestige was
taken to refer to her commercial
ability to undersell America on ac-
count OF lower production costs
through cheaper labor.
"The labor covenant under which
the forthcoming labor congress will
be held, will become an absolute law
with the ratification of the peace
treaty" the premier said. "The del
egates Of all countries will no doubt
bring forward propositions based on
conditions in their countries and
there is absolutely no reason for the
difference in the conditions of vari-
Gus countries affecting any country
in the least.
at will be a matter of course that
the delegates for the employers
should endeavor to protect their in
terests and those OF the workers
should do the same. It should be
borne in mind, however, that in do
ing so they must not lose sight of
the existence of the state.
"In the peace conference at Paris,
Japan has been sitting as one of the
five great powers and it is a matter
of course that the same right and
position will be accorded to the Jap
anese delegates at the Washington
labor congress.
"Our delegates should remember
Japan's prestige and interests which
are at stake and at the same time
they should try to satisfactorily dis
charge their mission which is of
worldwide significance.

CAMBRIDGE HAS RUSH
OF MARRIED STUDENTS

CAMBRIDGE, England. Never in
the history of Cambridge University
have the authorities faced such a sit
uation as confronts them this year.
There are 1000 more undergradu-
ates than in 1913 and large number
of them are married.
Hundreds of them are completing
courses begun before the war. Dur
ing the five years intervening many
have married and come back to col
lege, in many instances, with one or
two youngsters. 1t is a task for
Cambridge to care for 5000 students
and the addition OF so many wives
and children has aggravated the
crowded conditions of the town.
While married students are not
uncommon in any university it is
stated that never has 80 large a PEI
centage of the student body been
married men.
There will be two royal under
graduates this year-Prince Albert
and Prince Henry.

GULF STREAM AFFECTS COTTON
(By the United Press)

ABBEVILLE, La, Dec. 1.-THE
course OF the Gulf stream is believed
to have come ten miles nearer the
American coast during the last yeaI
and probably has caused serious
damage to the cotton crop, according
to L. Vallee, one of the most promi-
nent planters of this section.
Vallee has made observations
which lead him to believe that re-
ports made recently by seamen that
the Gulf stream was flowing nearer
land are correct. He points out that
this years cotton crop was greatly
curtailed because of adverse weather
conditions.
"If the Gulf stream is actually
flowing so near land, ] fear the en-
tire cotton-growing area is menaced
by succession of wet seasons, which,
added to the ravages of the boil wee
vii and other pests will curtail ma
terially the production and lower the
grade OF American cotton" Vallee
said.

Countess Takes
Husband TO Ranch

DICKINSON, N. D.-Another war
romance, stranger than fiction, +"
came to light here when Countess
Marie Won SchellschmidtN of French
and English nobility, purchased a
1000 acre ranch near Medora, a viii
lage in the western part of the state,
made famous by the fact that it is
near the Dakota ranch of the late
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
To this farm the countess is bring
ing her invalid husband, an Ameri-
can doughboy of German descent,
who before being called to the col
ors was employed on farm near
here.
The countess and Robert A, Schell-
schmidt were married last July in
Billings, Mont. They met on the
Argonne battlefield when the count
ess, member OF the Napoleon Grey
Capes, administered first air to the
unconscious gassed private, She WIS.,
tied him later in the hospital and
upon learning that his name was the
same as that of her first husband, Il
German baron conducted an inves-
tigation that proved the patient to
be cousin of the baron.
Both went their way; the soldier
back to battle and the nurse to her
ministrations of mercy In her
work she was sent to America a
year ago to work in Wyoming during
the influenza epidemic. In Cheyenne
they met again when the soldier re-
ceived his honorable discharge and

LACK Of SHIPS
HA[TS IMPORTS
BY Lawrence 8. Haas

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
BuENOS AIRES.-(By MaiD -
II the American meat consumer, wor-
wing over his mounting butcher
bills, reads OF the enormous gains
IN the South American cattle in
austry, and then demands why South
American meat is not sent to North
America to lower the price at home,
he need take his quest no farther
than those who control American
ship construction.
This Ia the opinion Of leading
American meat men in Buenos Aires.
While none will venture the asser-
Mon that Argentine meat placed on
ths American market would lower
American meat prices they do de-
clare that there are thousands of tons
Of South American meat that would
be available for North American
consumption II only refrigerator
ships were to be had.
In connection with this great "IF"
the head of the South American
branch of one of the greatest pack
ing houses in the United States
frankly told the United Press that
he knows of no refrigerator ship
plying between the United States and
South American ports. And, he ad-
ded, Great Britain. as matter of
fact, is constructing refrigerator
vessels as rapidly as she is able to
do SO.
Given an adequate number OF re-
frlgerator ships, South American
meat producers declare they can de-
liver meat at any point in the world.
the United States not excluded, at
a price that would leave no fear of
local competition. However, ques-
toned as to the feasibility OF COM
peting with American meat produc-
ton In the United States, no claims
were made that Argentine meat
could be laid down" at American
ports cheaper than American meat
could be delivered, but it was stated
that Argentine. Uruguayan and Bra
lillian meat could be delivered just
as cheaply as the home product.
The long haul from South to North
America. the greatest single cost
factor in the expectation of meat
from the southern to the northern
continent is somewhat offset by the
lower cost of labor and production
In South America. In the three
great cattle ountries--Argentina.
Uruguay and Brazil-the cattle are
sutdoors twelve months in the year.
and for ten months feed on green
grass. Head for head, the United
states produces no better grade OF
beef.
South American packers, as every
enc else who has something to sell.
are looking for the best market. But
they cannot get their products to
any market, no matter how good, un-
less there is some way of carrying
them.
OF course. it is obvious the pro-
duction Of hides moves at pace
no greater than that of meat pro-
ductioE. If the United States wants
Argentine meat sufficiently to pro-
vide means for transporting it they
can get it, but South American meat
producers will not commit them
selves to the expression of an opin-
ion that the price of meat or leather
in the United States will drop~if
large quantities of Argentine beef
and hides are placed on the Ameri-
can market.

that is true, Bill may remain on the
