FEMALE VICTIMS OF PLAGUE
Figures Show That tuberculosis Is
Spreading, Chiefly Among Women
Active In Industrial World.

The death rate from tuberculosis
among women is on the increase. In
spite of the increase in active cases
among women the death rate for males
is still higher than that for females
by almost one-third. ''The sudden in
f1ux of women into industry during
the war may, in a measure, be re-
sponsible for this increase" says a
statement from the National Tubercu-
losis association. "This does not
mean that there is any real basis for
the assumption that women are not as
well fitted for industrial work as men
are 1t is a fact, however, that many
women who work in industry also look
after their household duties and bring
up large families of children. Conse-
quently, insufficient rest, improperly
cooked food and lack of fresh air so
undermine the constitution that they
readily become victims of the tubercle
bacillus"

but that the long, long one is cruel be-
cause we would only be worn out after

pleasantly tired like any good sport
will.
"And if the owners are kind like
mine, / believe there are only few
who would let their pigeons go in the

"They have made sure that the
weather is nice, too so that no harm
will come to us"
"Ah," said the first Homing Pigeon,

families have done a great deal Of
work.
''AlI we ask is that we are treated
well, and that we may not be dis
turbed at night when we want to sleep
and when we need the sleep-and,
most important of all, that we are not
separated from our beloved mates. For
the Homing Pigeons are very devoted"
But there was no more talking after
this for the race was about to com

DRE1IIERS of the allied nations, in
4 session in Paris last week, absolute
ly failed to reach an agreement on adj
justment of the German PREPARATIONS,
and on Thursday the conference broke
up, leaving France to act alone as she
may see fit in the matter Of enforcing
payment from Germany.
BOnar Law and Poincare submitted
their respective plans, and after two
days of heated controversy each de
clared the program of the other was
unacceptable The British prime min
lister was the more emphatic in this
declaration and it was he who abrupt
" created the final rupture, stating
that it was useless to continue the
discussions. The British delegation
left for London Friday morning. Thus
the entente cordiale was finally
smashed.
Premier Poincare Immediately
called Marshal Foch, General Wey-
gand and the cabinet members to
meeting to discuss Frances plan for
isolated action. Whatever she does
will probably have the moral support
of Italy and Belgium, for the compro-
mise plans offered by those countries
were much nearer to the French pro-
gram than to that of Great Britain.
Italy, in fact, Joined with France in
fatty rejecting Bonar Laws propos-
ais.
The British and French plans may
be summarized thus as to their more
important provisions:
British proposal
Reduction Of German reparations to
So, 50O,O0O0OO.
Four years. full moratorium, with
graduated scale Of payment after that
and opportunity for Germany to meet
its obligations by loans and deliveries
of materials.
Cancellation Of all debts owed by
France, Italy and Belgium to Great
Britain except such as could be paid by
allied gold deposits now held in Lon
don (about S250OOO,0 OO) and a portion
of the German first series bonds to be
issued. as security for reparations.
Demands Germany stabilize credit
under allied control
Opposes. any forceful measures I'M
less Germany shows unwillingness to
meet the new terms.
French proposal
Reparations must stand as fixed at
$50, 900. 100000, but the French are will
ing to cancel the present German &C.
bonds, amounting to $20,500,000,000, if
that sum is written off the interallied
debts.
Two years moratorium on cash pay
ments, but insist payments in materials
must go on.
Guarantees amounting to $260,OO0,-
600 a year by collection Of coal tax
and export and import duties on Ger
man products. These collections would
be made by an allied commission head
ed by a Frenehman.
Military occupation of Essen and
Bochum.
Mr.. Bonar Law followed the formal
presentation Of his plan with a state

ment in which he said: EsYou can get
certain amounts Of money by taking
immediate possession of Germany, but
you cannot take over Germany and re-
establish her financial stability. The
allies have reached a point where they
must choose between these two meth
DDS. They cannot have both. This is
not political question; it is bust
ness question. You can get certain
amounts from Germany if you take
possession of her, but you cannot take
them and re-establish German credit"
He concluded: ut is often said that
the British have a selfish interest in
the restoration of Germany because we
do so much foreign trade. It is my firm
conviction that, from purely selfish
point of view, if an earthquake were to
come along and swallow Germany up
we would gain, not lose, since Germany
is our trade rival"
Herr Bergman carried to Paris a
German program and was permitted to
submit it in writing to the British and
French delegations. 1t suggested the
same reduction in Preparations as the
British plan and asked ten-year
moratorium and an international loan
of a billion and a quarter dollars i'm
mediately The loan the Germans
thought they could raise mainly in the
United States and in neutral countries,
where vast amounts Of German CAPT
tai are now hidden. The French re
ply to this was that the German war
profiteers would certainly absorb ali
the benefits of such a loan.

Time Saved hy system.

In a report made to the house of rep
resentatives by the committee on coin
age, weights and measures, which fa-
vored the adoption of the metric sys-
tenn by the government Of the United
States, it was pointed out that, accord
ing to estimates made by the bureau of
education and others, two-thirds of a
year would be saved by the adoption Of
the metric arithmetic. 1t is also
averred, as matter Of evidence, that
the metric system and its application
to the solution of problems may be
learned in one-tenth of the time re-
quired for gaining equal facility in the
use of the English system of weights
and measures.

ODD African Tribe.

The Ell Molo csPoor Devil'O are a
small and l1ttle-known tribe, dwelling
on islands close to the east shore OF
Lake Rudolf, in East Africa. They are
now community of about 20 souls
under the leadership of a blind chief.
They construct the poorest type Of
shelter from leaves of the Dom palm.
Their sole food is fish. which they occa-
sionally spear, but more often catch in
coarse-meshed fiber nets; their only
drink is the vile soda-impregnated
water of the lake.
The 81 Moro are almost amphibious,
and are apparently unable to go for
more than an hour without water, for
after that time their lips swell up and
start bleeding. They have their own
language.
