Cause Them To Expand.

London. - The Congress of Eastern
Peoples. decided to undertake cam
paign of agitation and propaganda

agitation among them and induce
them to become associated with public
life and to draw them away from the
narrow interests of domestic life.
The congress decided also to ash
clubs and schools to give wide scope
to agitation and propaganda among
Moslem women.
ut must be clear that the East ha'
awakened, once Eastern women have
removed the VEIL" says The Pravda.

Bndland Diuorces Discovered
By y. S. Biological Experts

Some choice scandals in birdland
have been uncovered by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Recent experiments by the bio
logical survey bureau of this de-
partment show that nearly all
feathered tribes have a mania for
divorce. The robin who chirps to
his mate in spring may desert her
and run off with "the other woman"
before summer Is over.
This was learned through placing
indentical bands on the legs of
mated birds. Later in the season
the same birds were captured with
another mate, although the first wife
was still alive.
The extent to which birds follow
this practice is not generally known.
The department is anxious to trace
as many examples as possible.
A large corps of volunteer work.

of the United States to, capture and
