Sell Food and
 Clothing at Cost
 to All Employees

Pittsburgh, Dec. 31.--A number of important manufacturing con- cerns in this city are selling food and clothing at cost to their en- ployes, in an effort to meet the ad- vancing price of commodities.
 One company buys for it's work men every two weeks a carload of hams and bacon. This is shipped direct from the packer to the mill, and there sold to the men at cost plus the transportation charge. The president of thhe company en" dorses it as one of the best things he has ever done for his men.
 Another concern has been sun- plying many of it's mill and office employees with canned goods, wearing apparel, including over coats and shoes, and even chil- dren's shoes. The saving was such as to make the wage earners en-

Winter Wheat in
 Texas is Large

Houston, Tex, Dec. 31.-"Texas winter wheat acreage planted this fall is estimated to be 1,077,000 acres which is but approximately fifty-five percent of the planted acreage of 191S," according to F. M. Johnston, field agent for Tex as.
 "This marked reduction has been caused almsot wholly by the excessive fall rains which prevent ed seeding, although labor scarcity has also been a factor.
 "The greatest acreage reduc- tion has been in the black land belt of north and central Texas where but twenty-five percent of last years acreage has been planted"

garrisoning these new possessionss of Uncle Sam can not understand the fashions affected by the na- tiyes. Why negro or Cha-C5a Indian should wear an oVercoas when the thermometer stands at 100 in the shade mystifies them.
 For some strange reason the Virgin Islander believes in wear ing every article of clothing. ne can lay hands on. All Amerlcan holidays are now celebrated by the natives, who spend the day pa. rading about the streets, some of them wearing overcoats, capes, two or more pairs of trousers an1 red bandana handkerchief about tn neck. Also they frequently adorn themselves with the horns of cows or oxen attached to the head just in front of the ears.

slowness with which the capital Las succumbed to the jazz is that the latter possesses none of the rythm and seductive melody of native Mexican music, nor of the Spanish and Cuban music which is next in popularity.
 Bands and orchestras abound here. The Mexican is natural and the songs that have been written for him range from the wild rebel chant of the Ca Cucaracha" to the dreamy, TO- mantle Beautiful Mexico"
 Concerts are given in the parks, Although termed popular" they are made up for the most part of grand opera selections and Amer ican ragtime as yet has not found a place on such programs. The Mexican is a lover of classical mu- sic.

DUTCH WOMEN 10
 MAKE DEMAND FOR
 THEIR RIGHTS, TOO
Desert Children, Kitchen and Church for inc
 Ballot

The Hague, Dec. 25.--The ideals and ideas of Dutch women, for centuries confined to children, kitchen and church. have under gone a change and the daughters of the land of windmills and ca nals are making strong fight for their rights.
 Several great organizations have been formed for improve ment of the conditions of women, With the revision of the Dutch constitution last year, women ob- tained full suffrage and the re- suit is that now there are womel in nearly every town council.
 Realizing, however, that the possession of the vote does not de- eide the lot of women, the pro- m0ters of the movement are now seeking to bring about changes in the hws and regulations which discriminate against the sex econ- omically and socially.
 According to the Dutch law said Mrs. Wijandts Francken, one of the leaders of the fomen's movement, "the father has practi- cally all the say about the edp- cation of the children. He decides as to their future, consents to their marriage and may send them wherever he likes. Of course th:s is of no importance whatever in good marriage, where father and mother together debate about such things, but this power of the fath- CT may easily be abused I know of several cases in which the father deliberately took child away and hid it from it's mother without the latter being able to do anything against this course, as the law was on the side of the father.
 Another thorn in the flesh of the Dutch woman is that she must promise obedience to her husband in the vow of marriage. Now, please don't think that these women are averse to rule and or der. They only want to be the equals of their husbands, not housekeepers.
 "As things are now, a Dutch woman has to suffer almost any thing from tyrannical husband and nothing short of adultery or bodily i'll usage can rid her of his despotism.
 "One of the greatest obstacles these women leaders have to over- come is the conservatism of the 1 old fashioned women, who, espec- tally in the rural districts, form q great part of the population. But the women who are fighting for the betterment of their sex hope in the end to succeed in the con. quering this prejudice"

places" and should be subject to the same regulation, according to the General Ministerial associa- tion, of Vancouver. which has cont pleted broad investigation into civic conditions and has laid se- ries of recommendations formally before the civic council.
 One of the ministerial recom- mendations is that all dance halls shall be open to public view. The recommendations read:
 "That all shades, curtains, and stained glass should be removed from the doors and windows of both drinking centers and danc- ing rooms so that the public

 There is still an item, however. in the living cost, from which many workers in the district can find no relief--that of high rents. Workmen's houses are scarce ir, every section of the district.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 31.-Wild geese can not compete with the airplane in speed nor in maneu- vering, and the pigeon, swiftest of the winged creatures, is outclassed by the flying men, aviators here declare. and hunters corroborate their statements.
 To prove his ship faster than the wild geese, one aviator climbed in- to the sky and flew around great V-shaped drove flying north. The geese at first held their formation, but when the

Several hun dred feet below the airplane they flattened out, but each time the aviator approached they folded their wings and dropped.
 An aviator dare l,ot dash into q flock of geese. fof collision with them would wreck his plane. Ac~ cidents due to collision with birds in air have wrecked airplanes and in at least two cases caused the death of the pilots.

A Bears Foolish Combat.

Most wild animals, it appears, are
stupid as we'll as greedy and obstinate.
But for sheer brainless obstinacy in
the face Of opposition there is, the best
authorities contend, no animal lik
the Himalayan bear. II ne finds a
thing in his way he will always push
aside il he can, even though il VIZ
be easier TO go around the obstacle.
The willy natives Of India have OBJ
served that trait in his character and
from il have contrived a trap to catch
him. They select a tree with a suit
able horizontal bough. At a point son
the Dough about ten or twelve feet
from the fork they fasten bait like
to attract the bear-hOney, for ex-
ample, or goats flesh. Then from an
other bough above that one they sus-
pend heavy block OF stone. The
rope is so fastened to the upper bough
that the stone hangs between the bait
and the fork of the trees.
The bear scents the bait from a dis
on the bough and climbs UP the trec
Reaching the bough, he walks along
II TO get at the bait. But suddenly he
notices the obstacle in his way and
pushes it aside with his paw The
stone swings out of the way a second
then it swings back and hits the bear
on the paw. With a growl of irrita-
ton the bear pushes it aside more
violently. The stone swings away
again; then it returns with greater
force and hits the bear on the chest.
With snarl Of rage the bear gives
the stone a tremendous thrust and
sends it up into the air in wide
curve. Then down comes the stone in
similar curve and hits the bear {
humping whack on the ribs
Most animals would dcsist after that
third blow; not so the bear. He is
now in perfectly mad rage, and a
bear is a good boxer He hits out with
his paws, right and left, and sends the
stone hurting forward in a still wider
curve. Then, after few seconds, tn,
stone comes back and hits the bear
terrific "uppercut" on the jaw.
But alasl the bear never went
school and learned the law of gravity
Every blow he hits the stone is re.
turned tenfold. And as the stone has
no brains to be knocked out, it is the
bear that gets knocked out.
Then the willy natives hiding below
rush in with net and throw it quick
~ over him. And that is how any
200" or menagerie gets its Himalayan
bear.
