Austrian flelief Finds
Conditions Much Better
VIENNA., Aug. 18. A new
survey of economic condit ons has
caused the American Child reliei
to make a drastic cut in its char
ity in Austria. It is proposed
this Burner gradually to reduce
the number of children ed to
200,000 and these will be con
fined largely to Vienna and other
cities where much want will be
faced during the coming winter.
The general improvement in
the rural regions is illustrated by
action of the Americans in clos
ing 68 of their kitchens in Uper
Austria alone in one week. All
ch'ldren of parents in fair finan
cial circumstances are excluded
under the new program as welt
as children ot farmers In other

CGNSTNTINOPLE. June C.
Betting on coo k roar L races is one

for hH money can get results.
The hall is darkened at the

Americans IU'1 Sport.
More real, old fashioned, non
professional sport may be had
here than In any other city of
Europe. This is due in part to
the allied troops of occupation,
to the American officers and sail

number of American and British
civilians who have come out for
business since the armistice.
what the Russian refugees have
done in the way of enlivening the
city with concerts, dancing places
and queer restaurants, the other
allies have done in sporting lines.
Hunting I Good.
In winter there is wild boar,
duck and lox hunting. There is
also, in and out of season, plenty
of horseback riding over the dirt
roads and unfenced stretches of
upland country on both sides of
the Bosphorus. Horse races are
often held.
Both the British and the Am
ericans have laid out golf courses.
There are also a few tennis courts
The troops and sailors within
the city have taken charge8 of a
large field near Taxim, in the
center of Pera, and there play
football and baseball matches.
Yachting and swimming are com
monplace. Everybody Bathes Naked.
The Russians from the Black
sea, who are accustomed to bathe
naked, have increased the popu
larity of the beaches, especially a
fine strip of sand on the Mar
mora north shore known as Flor
ida. There, without let or hin
drance, men, women and children
undress on the open beach and
bathe in costumes that seem
quite conventional here.
The Turks have contributed
chicken fights to the international
sports.
Friends of America Have
Permanent Board for
Protesting Wars
RICHMOND, Ind.. July 25.
What are the present, activities of
the Quakers, has been asked re
cently. Numerically, "the Friends
of America," as tney are cahed,
are a small body numbering about
115,000 but . distributed from
coast to coast.
On the Atlantic coast are New
England. New York. Philadelphia.
Baltimore and North Carolina
yearly meetings; on the Pacific
coast, California and Oregou
yearly meetings, the latter ex
tending into Washington and
Idaho. Inland states in which
Friends are well represented are
Ohio. Indiana. Iowa and Kansas.
American Quakerism has two
capitals, the older and more con
servative at Philadelphia. the
newer at Richmond, Ind. Within
a radius of 100 miles of Ricfimond
are to be found approximately
one-fourth of American Quakers.
While intensely individualistic
in principles and practice. Friends
are learning how to unite for ac
complishing worth while tasks.
Otherwise they could not have
joined so readily in perfecting the
machinery of the' American
Friends' Service committee, with
headquarters at Philadelphia,
which has done a monumental re
lief work in Europe.
The majority of the American
yearly meetings are united in a
national organization, the five
years meetings of Friends In Am
erica, which carries on a compre
hensive and growing work at
home and abroad. The headquar
ters of this organization are lo
cated in Richmond, where the ex
ecutive staffs of the national
boards are housed in their own of
fice building.
Friends have long been active
in foreign mission work. Few as
they are In numbers, their mis
sionary efforts well nigh encircle
the globe, including work in Ja
pan. China. India, Africa. Syria.
Mexico. Central America, Cuba
and Jamaica.
At home a principal concern of
Friends is Tor the cause of inter
national peace and good will.
Theirs is regarded here as the only
religious body having a national
board on peace. Just now it is
very active in the fight for uni
versal disarmament.
In addition to a number of pri
vate secondary schools, Quakers
support 10 colleges, not including
Bryn Mawr, which is controlled by
a board of trustees composed of

SMOKE CASE WILL

Montana Rancher Sues Cop
per Company After Death
Of Livestock
FORT BENTON", Mont.. July 7.
Montana's famous "smoke case"
in which the Anaconda Copper
company was sued in a test case
by a Montana ranchman for tlie
death of farm animals, caused. :i
U alleged in the petition, by
poisonous gases from the Ana
conda company's smelters, will on
tried again. The jury nearng tne
case here was unable ?o agress on
the merits of much technical tes
timony toy chemical experts.
The test suit was filsjjl by Oscar
B. Cioon, who alleged in his peti
tion that cattle, horses and other
of his farm animals had died aft
er inhaling the smoke and gas
from the smelting plant smoke
stacks. He asked $27,000 dam
ages. Upon the results of his suit
will hinge other suits, it is de
clared, involving more than 1000
animals in the vicinity ot Great
Falls. I
Trial of the recent suit con
sumed nearly four weeks anc
more than 150 witnesses were ex
amined, including many experts
who testified as to' the harmful
and harmless contents of the
smelter smoke and gase?.
Expert chemists testified for
the copper company that the pro
cess of smelting in their plant wa
such that it was impossible for
the waste gases, to contain poison
ous substances. They repeated
chemical formulae to prove therr
assertions. Experts for Goon
charged that the cattle had died of
arsenic and zinc poisoning after
inhalng the smelter gases. This
was to counteract testimony of
the defense experts that the cat
tie were victims of influenza.
Mongoos Is Scourge to
Growers of Sugarcane
HONOLULU, T. H.. Aug. 19.
Efforts to rid the Hawaiian is
lands of the mongoos, a carniver
ous animal which is regarded as
the worst menace to island crops,
have been begun by the territorial
fish and game commission, in co
operation with the Board of Su
pervisors of Honolulu.
The bounty on mongoos scalps
bas been raised from fifteen to
twenty-five cents by the super
visors, who appropriated $499 for
that purpose and annual cash
prizes ranging from $5 to $25 to
be given the five persons killing
the largest numbers of the banned
animal.
The mongoos. an Inchneumon.
is a product Of India where It oft
en is domesticated because of its
ability to kill the most deadly
snakes without injury to itself.
Because of its destructiveness to
game, poultry and crops, the im
portation of the mongoos to the
United States was prohibited
years ago.
We have often wondered how

Week Preceding Derby Fail
ure Compared With
Gayety of Other Years
DEBUTANTES ARE ABSENT
Some Overseas Visitors In
Town, But Not Enough to
Help Hotels
LONDON. .Tune 17.--All society
:s bemoaning the failure of the
London season. Tlie week preced
ing the Derby should haveseen
social gayety approaching" its
height; but the widespread ef
ects of the coal crisis have put a
damper on the round of p.easureh
scheduled for this time of the
year, and old siagers find It hard
to recall cny similar period when
so l.ttle private eutenaining was
done.
No society debutantes are com
ing to town. Shortage of mouey
has caused many society folk to
cancel their London engagements
and to spend the summer as
cheaply as possible in the coun
try. By the king's desire, courts
have been postponed and hotels
and theaters are reporting
slumps.
Iol (antes Draw
There are a number of oversea
visitors In London, but "not, en
ough to go round." as one hotel
manager put it, and were it not
for the Americans who have come
over for the polo games, those who
have to liva out of the profits
made in the season would be in
despair.
Dressmakers, tailors, and enter
tainment caterers are do.ng next
to nothing, the reason being that
he present period of industrial un
rest makes it impossible to see a
month ahead.
Efforts were made to make the
Henley Regatta a social success.
Henley is always a gay dress pag
eant. According to the fashion
papers, the modish colors are yel
low and red, with flower" and fruit
designs and with " bats trimme.d
with wreaths of imitation vege
tables. Strike Clears Atmosphere
The only benefit the coal strike
has conferred upon London Is the
absence of smoke and fog. The
continued clearness of the atmos
phere is surprising Londoners,
who are discovering vlewB of their
city the existence of which they
hardly suspected.
Public health has benefitteo
very greatly, according to official
health statistics. There has been
an astonishing' decrease In bron
chial and pulmonary complaints.
Pneumonia cases have gone down
as much as 50 per cent compared
with March.
Dr. John S. Owens, chief of the
advisory committee! to the met
eorological office on atmosphere
pollution is the authority for say
ing that London s air has now
reached a purity never before at

North Dakota Teachers
Are Coming to Oregon
Just a few years apo rural dis

finding suitable school teachers,
as many who were competent to
teach were securing positions In
other occupations in towns and
cities. ,
But now things are different.
Many applications are coming in
from eastern points from teach
ers who want to come to the Wil
lamette valley. Many are writing
the county superintendent of their
desire to teach In Marlon county,
and a number are actually on
their way west, trusting to luck
in securing schools after their ar
rival. This is especially true of teach
ers living in North Dakota, where
It seems that the Non Partisan

is causing many to leave that
