MANDATE OVER ARMENIA WILL
 BE EXERCISED

NEW YORK, Oct p (by Associat- ed Press.-French military authori ties in Cilicia, Turkey, have in formed officials of the Armenian Ma tional Union that France is going to occupy the entire region to the full extent of her mandate and that Armenians will be afforded complete protection, according to advices reaching Near East Relief head quarters here from agents in Aleppo, Syria.
 Both Urfa and Mardin, now lying well within admittedly Turkish na- tionalist territory, are to be occupied these adyices state. Urfa was the scene of a massacre by Turkish na- tionalists of French forces garrison ing the city last spring.
 According to the information re- ceived by the relief organization, the French have sent word to Kem- al Pasha, nationalist leader that they have not forgotten this mas sacre and that if any further out rages are committed against any Christian, Armenian or otherwise, in Urfa, the city will suffer.
 Relief officials are inclined to be- lieve that the only solution of the present critical situation in Cilicia is a firmer French policy in holding the occupied areas.
 According to latest information re. ceived at relief headquarters condi, tions are chaotic throughout Cilicia. Where the nationalists are not fighting the French at Aintab, Adana, and nearby cities they are prosecuting the Armenians. Eigh- teen Americans are cut off in Adana by the siege that nationalists have been conducting the French garri- son since June 2S.

Budapest.-Hungary will have
the largest family of heroes in the
world by the government measure
for the allotment of land to soldiers
just introduced. The beneficiaries
will be limited to men who can
prove they fought in the World war
and opposed the red government
and they are permitted to incor-
porate the word "hoss" (hero) In
the family name. Thus Varga Jan
will become Hoss-Varga Jan, or
John Hero-Varga).

In the turbulent waters Of this

spite Of its sonorous name, virtually
all the washing for the million or

giving 1t the picturesque touch.
The construction Of drives, CIV
ing available sightseeing tour
spots in the city, appears to be in
great favor. The Argus city plan
ming editor has received sugges-
lions for the building OF drives for
practically every part OF the city.
Today's suggestions to connect
Twelfth and Twenty-fourth streets
via the Watch Tower. and another
line in the hill district. have been
offered before. +.
Rock Island has no drive in the
city to compare with many other
cities of its size. 1t is possible
that this will be one of the main
propositions on which Edward H.
Bennett, city planner, will figure.
Four different ideas for the con-
struction of such highways have
already been suggested.
Should Join Streets.
Twelfth and Ninth streets have
become the popular driving spots
Of the city. The Joining of these
streets with the avenue running
parallel with the Black Hawk
Watch Tower park, going through
the ravines and over the lagoons,
up to the Twenty fourth street
road, and thence up Eighteenth
avenue, II 1t were paved and boule-
varded, has received the approval
of several citizens who have sent
in suggestions. This would give
a drive through the city, as the
Twenty-fourth street road leads to
the Twenty-f fifth street hill, which
goes through the heart of the city.
The suggestion of building a
drive right on the hill district in
the vicinity Of Thirteenth to Six
teenth avenues, and from Twenty
fifth to Thirtieth streets has also
been seconded. The ravines in this
district would make a picturesque
spot for drives. The road could be
built both around and through
them. The drive here would have
an outlet on Seventeenth avenue
down to the Twenty-fifth street
hill.
Suggest Country Road.
A circle drive along the river,
through this city, along the Watch
Tower. up to Moline, around Wa
tertown and the upper end Of the
county, and back to Rock Island,
was suggested by Mayor Harry M.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
To add impetus to the teaching Of
deirying in elementary rural schools
Bulletin 1853, just published, contains
II lessons on the subject. With each
lesson are given helpful directions for
home projects that may be worked
out with profit to every community
and with real educational value to
pupils. Practically all the subject ma
terial for class use and instructions
for home projects can be found In
available bulletins either free or at
small cost, but teachers and pupils are
advised to use additional sources Of
information, such as the printed mat
ter from dairy cattle breeders assO-
clati0Ss, books on dairying, and farm
and dairy journals.
According to the bulletin teachers Of
agriculture are agreed that instruction
on that subject should follow certain
definite lines-it should be seasonal,
be local In its interests, meet the needs
Of the pupils, and be practical. The
me-project plan affords the best
means of meeting these conditions, es-
peclally the practical side, for by 1t
the pupil works out for himself the
principles and theories taught in the
classroom.
The term "home project" applied to
instruction In elementary and supple
mentary agriculture, includes as re-
qulsltes a plan for home work and re-
lated instruction in agriculture at the
school. 1t should be a problem new
to the pupil; the parent and pupil
should agree with the teacher on the
plan some competent person must su-
pervlse the home work detailed rec
ords Of time, method. cost. and income
must be honestly kept; and written
report based on the record should be
submitted to the teacher.

may learn the dairy interests Of the
district is a dairy survey. The pupils

tion, but first hand knowledge obtain
