CONlMUNISTIC COLONY HAS
RETURNED TO CAPITALISM

tiative stifled under system that Of
fered no more than the bare neceSsi-
ties of life.
Already. the change has begun. The
community kitchens in the seven vii
lagos of the colony, where the women
took turns at cooking the food, have
been abandoned. Members now dine
in their homes instead of in the COM
munity dining halls, where the men
sat on one side of the room and the
women OH the other.
The ancient bells in the meeting
houses which summoned three gen.
erations of colonists to their work in
the community fields every day ex-
cept Sunday are silent now for the
first time in 90 years. They are now
planting individual gardens.
X x X
1t is hard to tell now how many
changes in social customs will follow
the changes in economic methods at
Amana colony, but these doubtless
will be equally revolutionary.
For one thing, the young people of
the community are said to be very
much dissatisfied with the present
system of marriages in which all en-
gagements must be approved by a
vote of the trustees. After the ell
gagement is approved, the girl and
the boy must live in separate villages
for one year prior to the ceremony
and conduct no courtship of any kind.
The girls, too, object to the ancient
rules of the colony which require
them to wear the plainest of dresses
and wear their hair in braids. Some,
holder than the rest, have already
bobbed their hair and modernized
their attire, despite the protests of the
gray-bearded elders that such things
arc sinful"
The Amana colony traces it's origin
to a religious organization founded in
Germany in TIA. It added commu-
nism to it's program when the group
established itself in this country in
1912, on 5000-acre tract near Buff
falo, N. Y. In 1854 they sold their
lands at profit and moved to Iowa.
It is not only the oldest expert
ment in pure" communism in the
United States, but has been the most
successful For many years it pros
pered while similar colonies, promoted
by other religious sects, tried it and
failed. 1t continued to prosper until
a few years ago, when the third gen.
Grafton began to lose interest in the
religious fervor that had inspired their
forcfathers in founding 1t.
X X X
Under the rules of the colony, all
property was held in common and
the proceeds administered by the
trustees. The latter selected youths
for doctors, dentists and teachers and
sent them to college at the colony's
expense, but upon graduation they
were required to return and serve the
community.
Families lived in community owned
houses, each person over Is being en-
titled to private room. Meals were
cooked in community kitchens, serv-
ing in community dining halls. Fur
niture and clothing was supplied by
community -owned factories, as were
blankets manufactured by the Amana
colonists in their blanket factory.

Three Forest Fires
Get Out of Control

Missoula, Mont, Aug. 17.-R)-Only
three of the 1913 forest fires started
over western Montana and northern
Idaho by lightning storms Sunday re-
manned uncontrolled Wednesday with
fighters hoping to subdue two of
these.
In the Selway forest of North Idaho,
20 fires were set, with AZ In the
Clearwater of North Idaho, 40 in the
Lolo of western Montana and 10 in
the Cabinet of Montana.
On Lolo Greek, 10 miles northeast
of Kooskia, Idaho, on the Clearwater
Forest, the most serious blaze of the
region was believed to be covering a
front of eight miles. More than 200
men were fighting it.
A force Of 80 men expected to con-
troll fire near Chamberlain Mea-
dows on the Clearwater Forest. It
had perimeter of one and one half
miles. The third uncontrolled fire was
on Obia Creek in the Selway, Is miles
northeast Of Kooskia. It covered a
perimeter Of one and half miles at
the last report and was spreading be-
fore wind.

Amana, la, Changes Its Spots
After 80 Years in Social
Experiment

Amana, Ia, Aug. 17.-After exist
ing for 80 years on a basis of share
and share alike" for it's members
Americas oldest and most successful
experiment in pure" communism has
decided that its plan is failure and
is getting ready to change to the
ways of capitalism.
Already the vote has been taken
and within the near future the &c.
OOO-acre Amana Society colony here,
owned by 1900 members of a German
religious sect, will be converted into a
cooperative stock company chartered
under the laws of Delaware.
Going thoroughly modern, it has
hired a Cedar Rapids efficiency ex-
pert to direct its affairs.
For nearly century. the members
have pooled their holdings and their
labor and shared equally in the re-
turns. Crops have gone to common
granaries, the surplus sold and the
affairs of the colony administered by
board of trustees who saw to it that
each member received food, clothing,
shelter and an education. No men,
Der drew any money; there was no
use for it.
Under the new plan, expected to
have become effective June Is, indi-
viduals will be issued STOCK in the
$2,0OO,000 company and will receive
wages for their work. They also will
be allowed to buy or rent their own
homes from the corporation.

Communism has failed, the bearded
leaders Of the Amana colony explain,

plan, many of the younger members
have not worked so hard. AS a re-
suit, profits have declined and in re-
cent years the colony trustees have
been having hard time trying to
make ends meet.
Modernism also enters into the
change. The younger generation Is
tired Of living in an atmosphere of
200 years ago, under customs like
those that existed when the sect was
founded in Germany in TIA. They
want automobiles, movies, electric
lights, radios and other modern things
that the ancient laws of the colony
brand as sinful"
Ambitious ones among the young
members also want a chance to get
ahead in the world. They are tired

ITALY TO RETIRE
MANY BATTLESH|PS
IN ECONOMY MOVE
approximately 10000 Tons to
Be Placed on Idle List
Under Plan

Rome, Aug. l7.-(P,-Approximately
10000 tons of Italy's fighting ships
Will be retired beginning August Is
as result of an economy move and
a sweeping reorganization of the
Italian fleet.
These will include two battleships,
three heavy cruisers, nine light cruis-
ers, Is deStroyers and a dozen sub
marines, all reasonably old but still
within the age limit.
The ships will be stripped of their
crews but not Immediately strapped.
In this condition they will continue
to serve as a bartering point when the
world disarmament conference re-
sumes its discussions at Geneva this
fall. Caretakers will be left aboard
the ships to keep them from deterior-
ating.
The navy department believes an
extensive retiring program will save
millions of dollars monthly. The
crews of retired vessels will be trans
ferred to new cruisers gradually en-
tering the service.
simultaneously with the retirement
schedule comes a reorganization of
the fleet.
A retirement sounds the death
knell of the battleship so far as Italy
is concerned.
The entire italian navy recently
completed the most extensive mancu-
verS held since the end of the World
war. They were designed to test the
practicability of bringing transports
from the Mediterranean Colonies
through an enemy line.
It was demonstrated this could be
done, but only at great cost. This
drill came shortly after the adjourn
ment OF the world disarmament con-
ference. at which the italian delega-
ton submitted a sweeping program
for limiting land and sea arms.
The plan struck at the German
pocket battleship," the 22,OOO-ton
French cruisers and the battle fleets
of Great Britain and the United
States. 1t would bring all the navies
of the world down to Italy's own STAN
dard Of 10,000-ton cruisers.
This memorandum was tabled by
the general conference for considera-
ton.
Subsequently, when President Hoo
yer presented his proposal for a gen.
eral reduction Of about one-third in
the worlds arms, italy was among
the first to express approval.

RY lean PATOU

DARIS, March 2s.-There many reasons why
the scarf, which is enjoying an unprecedented
vogue at the moment, should have endured so long.
The truth lies in the fact that it no longer
be considered as an accessory momentarily favored
by the mode and its place in the scheme of fashion
seems about as durable as any of the other inn
portant pieces of ensemble.
So far as present styles concerned, it might
be slightly exaggerated to say that the scarf is in
dspensabe but in many cases the utility function
it fulhlls is very nearly akin to necessity.
It. therefore, is much from practical as from
a decorative point of view that the scarf must
be considered and the results obtained all the
stronger when the final impression conveyed is that
both these practical and decorative aims satisfied
To take advantage of a necessity to create some
thing agreeable to the eye is very tempting to any
creator and this perhaps explains the almost in
finite variety that can be found today in the
scarf line.
The fantasy they display, in spite Of the fact
now has reached perfect proportions.
MUCH more SO than any other accessory the

from the harmony of the costume When you con-
