SALVATION ARMY
DISTRIBUTING WIVES
Getting the 1,250,0Oo Surplus Women
of England to Emigrate to Coun-
tries Where Males Are In Excess.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The Saliva
ton army in the British Isles, working
IN cooperation with the government is
promoting emigration of the approx
mately l,250,000 women in excess of
the male population there. Commission
er David C.. Lamb, London foreign sec
rotary of the army on a mission to
the United States, has announced here.
Spinsterhood or emigration is the
fate of these women, the commissioner
asserted, adding:
1--WE offer no apology for active
propaganda designed to procure bet
ter distribution of the sexes. There
are million and quarter more WON
en- than men in the British Isles today
and one of the biggest after the wal
tasks assigned the Salvation army in
| Britain is to stimulate female emigra
tion and direct it to those colonies in
the British empire such as western Can
| ada and portions of Africa and Aus
| tralia, where there are more male thar
female inhabitants. The prospect OF
| placing female donlesties in the United
| States has not been overlooked.
"The Salvation army has despatched
! several shiploads of emigrants to Can
| ada already. We help them make ar
rangements to leave the old country
provide transportation when necessary
and through our worldwide organiza
ton see to it that the emigrants ar
| safely settled in the new land.
"Our records show that of the girl
who emigrated some years ago to Ger
tain sections where women were in tn
minority 60 per cent were marie,
within three years of their arrival
This fact and the opportunities 70
work at good wages in other lands ar
not without significance to the tens 0
thousands of thoughtful and enter
prising women in the British Isles

Master Dodge Finds They Have No

more in their suits against the directors
of the mother church, The First Church
OF Christ, Scientist, are contained in the
report of Frederic Dodge as master,

facts at issue, and also to interpret two
deeds of trust made in 1892 and 1898, re-
spectively, by Mary Baker Eddy, found
err of the Christian Science church. In
the first trust deed, Mrs. Eddy named
four trustees, since designated as direc-
tors, and in the second she provided for
trustees who should have charge of all
publications intended to promote the
growth of the Christian Science move
ment.
The trustees of the publishing society
claimed that under their deed they were
independent of control by the directors.
TIE directors contended that under the
| by laws and manual of the mother
church they were the supreme authority
over all its activities.
! Judge Dodge upholds the ground taken
f, by counsel for the trustees and for Ditto
more that the by laws of the church did
not confer powers upon the directors pos
lsessed by ''deacons" or "wardens" OF
churches incorporated under the statutes
of Massachusetts. These by laws, in The
opinion of Judge Dodge, are simply {

lions for membership in the church.
He denies the contention of counsel 10

TO SELL SOFT WHEAT
FLOUR TO EUROPE
Barnes Admits That American House
wives Will Not Use It-Great
Stocks of 1t On Hand.

WASHINGTON, March Give mil
lion barrels of federal grain corpora
ton soft wheat flour will be sold on
credit in Europe soon unless congress
authorizes $50,000,OO0 loans to finance
the sales, Julius Barnes, head of the
corporation, told the house rules com
mittee yesterday. He said he now had
authority to make the sales on credit,
but hoped the loans would be author
lied.
The flour, which is now held at
American ports and for which the corpo-
ration asks $l0.75 a barrel is "the
cheapest in the world Mr.. Barnes
told the committee. He added that
"every effort had been exhausted to
sell it for cash. but that American
housewives would pay higher prices for
the hard wheat flour.
''Why are prices of flour going up?''
asked Representative Vess, Republican
of Ohio.
"The last year crop yield was a
peculiar one answered Mr.. Barnes
There was a small yield of the strong
wheat and u big yield of the soft
wheat. Flour made of the soft wheat
could be obtained for domestic use al
all times at the exact reflection of tho
government guaranteed price of wheat
"The pressure for different kline
of -four by the housewives led the mill
ers to bid up the prices, and in Nortl
Dakota in five months the hard whea
price was increased 60 cents a bushe
above the guarantee he said.
In connection with the our stock
OF the grain corporation, Mr.. Barne
said that the advertising campaign t

Men OF Esprit.

There are men of esprit who are ex-
cessively exhausting to some people.
They are the takers who have what
may be called jerky minds. Their
thoughts do not run in the natural or
der of sequence. They say bright
things on all possible subjects, but
their zigzags rack you to death. After
jolting half hour with one of these
jerky companions, talking with dull
friend affords relief. 1t is like taking
the cat In your lap after holding a
squirrel.-O. W. Holmes.

wheat product had ''failed . and that
the stocks are blocking many
American ports. With warm weather
it will deteriorate rapidly, he added.
