ENROLMENT WILL BE BIG

New life has been put into the
boys and girls club work in Ken
lucky by the cooperation of banks
in all parts of the State. During
1918 banks loaned club members
$4,000 for the purchase of pure
bred stock. Club leaders at the
headquarters of the Extensions Di-
vision of the College of Agriculture
at Lexington, are now confident that
1919 will show more money loaned
and larger enrolment in club work.

SOUVENIRS GIVEN AWAY

and who knows for how long before,
the Kaiser had been dreaming of a
triumphal entry into Paris. And to
add to the luster and general splen-
dor of the entry he planned to send
in his troops with polished bayonets,
speckless equipment, dress uniforms
and the "pickelhauben" the spiked
helmet on their close cropped Prus-
sian heads.
In order that every true son of
the Fatherland might be decked out
for the occasion he had some hun
dreds of thousands of dress helmets
made up for the occasion. They
shone with lacquer and they glitter
ed with gilt and brass. But the
schedule went wrong. Something
happened to the last great drive.
Something occurred to change the
plan and the Kaiser made very I'M
obstrusive exit from Germany.
Then Pershing's doughboys, chas-
ing the retreating Germans arrived
at Coblenz. Here they found whole
warehouses full of the resplendent
headgear that would have been worn
into Paris had the Kaiser had his
way. The doughboys took a look at
the helmets and then they had a
good laugh. They took an inven-
tory of the lot and found that there
were $4,000 of the spiked hats that
everybody in Europe outside of
Deutschland, now hates. No one
wanted them in Europe. But the
United States has found a use for
the whole lot.
They are now in the United States
and they are to be given away as
prizes throughout the country to
help stimulate the Fifth, Last and
Victory Liberty Loan. The school
children of the country are to have
try for the helmets. Any wide
awake youngster who gets out and
hustles up the Fifth Liberty Loan
has chance to win German trophy
of war. Most of them are to be Of
fered for prizes for the best essay
on the Fifth Loan, the Victory Loan.
The helmets didn't cost a lot.
Frank B. Wilson, one of the officials
for the Fifth Loan, took a dollar out
of his pocket and gave it to Uncle
Sam to give to the army and the
army let the Liberty Loan folks
have every one of. the $4,000 helm
cts for that one American Dollar
They belong to the Treasury De-
partment now but every one of them
will find a proud owner somewhere
in the United States before the Last
Loan drive is over and done.
They are dressy headgear, but
they will never be very popular wear
in America. AS a trophy though
well that is another matter as an,
fighting man who has been overseas
can tell you. They will be douDi,
reminder, a keepsake for the Great
War and a souvenir of the last great
loan of that war. But they never
saw Paris, thanks to the Marines
and the hard fighting infantrymer
who stopped the rush at Belleau
Wood last summer.

Mexico offers some interesting
cases because of it's proximity to

protection for property in which she
has an interest if she is married
to man not a citizen Of the United

of an American wife by Mexican
husband, it has been held that the
United States could not interfere
to aid her, because in the ewes Of
the Mexican law she is citizen
of that country.

Once French;
Can Be Always

did you ever stop to think that there
are many women who have missed
the scout life offered our growing
girls to-day who crave it just as
much as the youngsters do? There
are hundreds Of women, and most Of
them are in the working world. the
business world, who are at heart
simply grown-up Girl Scouts. They
won't admit it, but they are lust a
little ashamed that these long legged,
hoydenlsh, growing girls know so
much more than they about making
fires, and walking and canoeing and
hundreds of other primal things.
The lnkowa Club represents the de
sire Of the girl scout grown up, and
the persons in charge of recreation
IN the club supply the need for in
formation and instruction to follow
the stunts Of the girl scouts. The
ceremonials which the growing girls
crave are not necessary to attract
grown women to outdoor fun,
but the principles Of camping and
cooperative action and fairness are
taught in the club. Whenever a hik-
ing party starts out there are com
petent persons in charge who know
how to build fires and make sleeping
places in the open. They also know
how to even up the work which &C
companies every trip and they see
that all mixers are properly dressed.

have to be "shown' may want

fractions offered by the Inkowa Club

Decisions

American citizenship has been
counted of much value to those
women who gained it through mar
riage to an American man, if one
may so conclude from the scores of
cases wherein these women sought
to retain these privileges after the
marital relation was broken. Amer
lean citizenship was of financial
benefit to one English woman in
Canton, China. She was permitted
to take advantage of all the rights
of an American citizen, even THOUGH
she had been divorced from an
American husband This instance
came to the attention of the state
Department through her desire to
open hotel in Canton, China. She
was British subject originally, but
had married an American. If the
severance of the marital relations
made her again a British subject.

The Murnm Case
Speeds the Move

The new bill was brought before
Congress at this time because Of the
interest aroused in the question of
women's citizenship by the case of
Frances Scoville- Mumm. Mrs.
Mumm had her American citizen
ship restored recently by special
law. She is the Kansas girl who
was married to the Austrian
Mumm's Extra Dry king. Persons
interested in the difficulties of tan
giles similar to that of Mrs.
Mumm's believe that a general law
making the privileges obtained for
her by special act possible for
others should be passed.
Once before Congress passed a
Joint resolution readmitting an
American-born woman uncondition-
ally to her citizenship in this coun-
try. Nellie, the daughter of former
President Grant, was married to A.
c. Fred Sartoris, an Englishman.
She became a subject of the English
king under the provisions made be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States in May, 1870 Later she re-
turned to this country, .petitioned
Congress for reinstatement as an
American citizen and bill was
passed giving back her birthright in
1898.
At that time there was little
precedent in the natter to be
followed.

the precedents forth as law. It

To Keep Her Out
Of an Asylum

An American woman divorced
from her Swedish husband, but re-
naming in that country, was about
to be sent to an asylum on a charge
of lunacy when the United States
interviewed and protected her from
the allegations, which were proved
false. 1t was held that her divorce
restored her to her American
status. On the other hand, an
Amerlcan-born wife of q Russian
failed to register with the American
consul within one year after her
husbands death and so four years
later her request for intervention
by this government was denied on
the score that she had waited too
long to announce her desire for
restoration to citizenship.
A famous case was that of Nine.
Berthemy, because it was brought
to test whether or not an
American woman residing abroad
could be made to pay the income
tax fixed by the United States in
ternal revenue laws for citizens out
of this country. She was born in
France, but her father was an
American citizen. BY action of the
law passed in 1855 she became
naturalized citizen of the United
States if she wished to declare her
citizenship upon reaching her ma
jcrlty. Children born in foreign

The nationality of a woman fol-

marriage she is a citizen of the
country of her husband. An Amer

Briefly, the bill provides:
"The failure, neglect, refusal or
inability of any male alien to be-
come citizen of the United States
shall be no impeachment to the wife
of such alien in becoming citi-
zen"
Any woman, now married to an
alien, she being at the time of such
marriage herself an alien, may
make declaration of intention to be-
come a citizen"
All alien women who shall here
after marry citizens of the United
States shall be deemed to retain
their own nationality unless they
shall comply with the naturalization
avs of the United States the same
as if they were not married"
All American women now mar
red to foreigners residing in the
United States may resume their
American citizenship"
mo woman who is, or has been,
Q citizen of the United States shall
thereafter lose or be deemed to
have lost her American citizenship
by reason of marriage to an
alien"
The passage of a Federal law in
this country that American girls
who marry alien men may choose
their nationality may seem simple.
But the issue involves international
currents and counter currents.
There must be a certain coordna-
ton of citizenships, regulated by
international law, to which the
wives Of all nations must conform if
we are not to have hopeless mud
