SALvATI0N ARMY
BRINGS MEN AND
WOMEN TOGETHER
Active Propaganda Is Being
Carried On to Bring About
a More Equal Distribution
Of the Sexes.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The Saliva

working in cooperation with the
government is promoting emigra-
ton of the approximately 1850, O0O
women in excess of the, male popu-
lation there, Commissioner David
&. Lamb, London foreign secetary
Of the army on a mission to the
United States, has announced here.
Spinsterhood or emigration is the
fate of these womer the commits
sioner asserted, adding:
I'VE offer no apology for active
propaganda designed to procure a
better distribution of the sexes
There are u million and u quarter
more women than men in the Brit
ish Isles today, and one of the big
gcsts after the war tasks assigned
the Salvation Army in Britain is to
stimulate female emigration and
direct it to those colonies in the
British empire such as western
Canada and portions of Africa and
Australia where there are more
male than female inhabitants. The
prospect of placing female domes-
tics in the United States has not
been overlooked.
The Salvation Army has dis
patched several shiploads of emf
grants to Canada already. We help
them make arrangements to leave
the old country, provide Transport
tation when necessary and through
our worldwide organization see to
it that the omigrants are safely
settled in the new land.
"Our records show that of tho
girls who emigrated some years ago
to certain sections where women
were in the minority, go per cent
were married within three years of
their arrival. This fact and the op-
portunities for work at good wages
in other lands are not without sig
nificanCe to the tens of thousands
Of thoughtful and enterprisins

The success or failure of "lOcal
option" in Scotland will furnish a
good indication" on tho prospects
for prohibition in the isles. he said,
adding that tho probabilities are
that the public houses will so in
many parts of Scotland"
On Great Britain, as whole,
however, the tendency is toward a
restriction on the sale of liquor in

NEAR WATER Is AlSiEttf
That animals have q spice"
sense by ineaNs OF which they
cun defect the presence Of water,
even when 100 far away 10 be
seen. has been proven by q
series 81 interesting experiments
,arried on IN France. MOI all
animals have tins amazing tag
ulty. but several are blessed with
il. as bas already been dIscov-
cred.
The experiments were under
taken at the suggestion OF David
Allen. a resident of Australia
and a corresponding member,
who wrote TO the Institute of his
experiments with sheep ana
cattle when being driven across
country. In a place where the
presence of water was wholly
unexpected, he says. the leading
ANIMALS would suddenly lift their
heads and draw long breaths.
Then they would abandon the
beaten tracks and start running
through the bush. Sometimes
they would run a mile and a
half or two miles and could not
be stopped by the drivers, their
course invariably leading to a
pond or spring hitherto unknown.
The experiments were made on
a water rat. First its eyes were
blinded by a bandage. and then
ii was placed In a t%urntable,
which was whirled round until
all sense of direction must have
been obliterated. Upon being
released. without a moments
hesitation il started directly for
the pond. several hundred yards
distant.
Frogs and toads were taken 10
a distance of three or four
miles from water and turned
loose. 1t seemed to take them
only a few seconds to locate the
water. One blind old toad
showed the instinct in the same
degree as the others. {.
The nature or source of this
is not yet clearly discerned. The
observers have named il the
sense of humidity. They be-
lieye il consists in a perception
of the direction in which the at
mosphere contains most mois-
ture. Efforts have been made
10 discover whether any men
possess il but without success.
