VIENNA DEATH RATE BECGfflts AimLiriG Condition of Children Even More Harrowing, Declares Authority on City's Desperate Plight Five years of famine bave resulted 1m greatly Increased mortality and morbidity In Vienna which before the war waa counted as one of the health-iest cities In Europe. Figure prepared by Dr. Gustave Bonn, bead of the Vienna Health Department, show that In 1918 the death rate was 15.3 per thousand. In 1018 the rate wns 22.5 per thousand, an Increase of more than 47 per cent Professor Hans Spel ef the Uni-versity ef Vienna, says that "even more terrible than the molality sta-tistics are those referring to the con-dition of children and their mothers.

At Professor Clemens Plrquet's clinic in the uni-versity some 54.S4B children were ex-amined In 1918. Only 4,637 of 'bese r about th were passed, as skin good, fat good; 23,609 were pale and thin, or very pale and very thin. "The health of these children shows most disquieting features. Skin disease, rachitis and Barlow's disease are rife. , "The chief medical officer of Vienna asks, 'What Is going to happen to these under-fe- d children, In whose bodies the germ of tuberculosis Is latent, when they reach the twenties, at which time It becomes active? " To combat these conditions the Amer-ican Relief .Administration of which Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last winter In the city of Vienna soma 800,000 of the destitute and under-nourished children, supplylt.g them with a substantia meal of American food, served In a number of large kitchens opened foi that purpose. The conditions In Vienna are more or less typical of those In Poland and other countries of Central hnd Eastern Europe. Last year the Relief Admin-istration was able to reach some 3,500,-00- 0 under-nourishe- d children and this winter the program calls for the feed-ing of a like nurater, but eight of the great charitable organizations of America bave united under the name of the European.

' It's the same old trouble of there not being pie enough to feed all the hungry mouths.' If Bingham is really and truly closed it will at least lose some of its charm. But the next big political wrangle in Bingham will be for federal patron-age, I A marriage which was recently an-- I nounced has removed from the stock in trade of Wise and Otherwise two of Its valued and highly esteemed characters. It might be well for the young man who sends Christmas flowers to the girl he loves without sending along his name to try his hand with a little girl, now in Colorado, who used to love him dearly. Well, Leap Year is now a matter of history, but evidently our d bachelor friend failed to get a sat-isfactory bid. There are several nice places now in the camp for newlyweds to reside and it might be a good idea for a few couples who for a long time have been contemplating matrimony to get busy and make the necessary preliminary arrangements (to commence house-keeping. It's a fact that some fellows talk through their hat instead of the tele-phone, but there are some fellows who oughit to keep quiet on the sub-ject, especially those who talk through the oulja board. Did It ever occur to you that an ouija board could talk clear across the ocean? It looks like one of the senior of the U. a U. might write a poem for Wise and Otherwise. High over the door in the Job office of the Press-Bulleti- n for years and years has been pasted a pungent para-graph, perhaps the handiwork of a tramp printer, which reads as "Tlie idea is advanced that the lack of equipment tends to keep peace forgetting that it was not the absence of equipment which gave he charm to the Garden of Eden, but the presence of innocence." Some of the fellows who fell out of office this week no doubt feel like they lost a meal ticket. Under the new administration there will be changes, but after the veneer wears off the government of the camp will be fashlond so as to be suitable to the people who reside in the camp.

I was lonely, and he invited me to spend my spare time exercising his horses on the Deuver speedway, under Instructions tot to let anything pass me. He had a ,'cilus for mating teams with striking effects, producing matched, mismatch-ed, showy gaits and nobby turnouts. All his drivers dressed the part. When lie drove himself and he often drove It was worth going to see. He was he best driver I have ever known. Often when we spent the evening in Ids office he would grow reminiscent. I recall one of his stories. In the war he was on secret service mi some Important mission In Missouri, icar Bee Creek. He was captured by a hand of guerrillas. It was nearly lusk when they reached camp. He .vus turned over to a drumhead court-nartla- l. The trial lasted a few min-utes; the verdict was, 'Spy; penalty, death.' Turning to him, the leader "aid; 'Yank, would you rather be shot it fore or after supper?" to which the npfain replied, "I always did think a ot of my belly," adding, "Say, 'Reb.' liHi dun hoss of yours is the best I cr saw. Suppose you make It sun-is- I'd like to die looking at him." All right," said the "Reb"; "come ml ent." At supper the talk drifted mo horses, and the quality of the Hssourl horse, then, as now, their ride. "Reb," said the captain, "If iu ever miss than dun hess you can nst figure my spirit hat got astride Mid gone with him.". They tied the captain to a log. !th the "Reb" on guard; the fire urned down to the faint glimmer f coals through ashes, and he fell isleep, awakening to find his hands 'id feet free and the sentry nodding ver the smoldering fire. He crawled clilnd a bush, took off his shoes, car-ving them In his' hand, and made N getaway. Ten minutes Ister a hot rang out In the woods, followed liortly by more shots.

CROWS WINTER IN OKLAHOMA Farmers of the State Refer to Bird's Annual Migration as Most Un-desirable Visitation. Oklahoma is the crows' Palm Beach. From all the neighboring states they flock thither to spend the winter, be-cause the climate Is mild and the food supply plentiful. Arriving In the fall, they are In time to join In the gather-ing of the crops. The numbers in which they assem-ble are described as unbelievable. In one roost, slxmll-e- west of Guthrie, on Gar creek, there are more than 1,000,000. Trees, In late evening, when they have gone to bed, are black with them, the branches burdened from top to bottom. Across the border, In Kan-sas, on Shoo Fly creek, Is another great crow town. They gobble the. pecans, the pea-nuts, the cotton, the maize, and even the watermelons. One farmer, had 15 acres of kaflr corn curing In the shock, and the crows ate it all In three days. Burrowing Into the shocks, they got every seed. They eat little chickens and hens' eggs; they rob birds' nests and kill the young; they devour young rabbits, and they have almost exterminated the quail, breaking up the nests. Oklahoma complains that It Is obliged to board, In late fall and win-ter, all the crows which In the sum-mer time are residents of nearby states. It Is an expensive business. One thousand crows, It Is estimated, eat a bnshel of grain per day, or the equivalent. When autumn arrives, they come flying In companies and regiments, converging from the north and east. Oklahoma has plenty of timber, which, affording roosting opportunities, doubt-less helps to attract them. Their nests are built of twigs, lined with soft grapevine bark and grass, so that the Inside Is smooth and comfortable. To deal with the pest is difficult. Crows are wary, and to destroy them wholesale by poisoning Is impossible, because they are quick to become sus-picious of baits. At night each squad of them has a sentinel on the alert, ready to give an alarm In case of at-tack. Their cawing Is conversation. It has many sound variations, with as many different meanings. But at nest-ing time crows do not talk on the roost, lest they attract hostile atten-tion. "Good Writers Cannot Steal." Less thun a month after the publi-cation of "A Sentimental Journey" Sterne died of consumption at the ge of 54. Many years after his death, writes EF. E. In the Boston Tran-script, he became the subject of what Prof. Salntsbury calls "unintelligent censure" for his borrowing from other, writers. "His chief creditor," says Prof. Salntsbury, "a case In which there could be no disguise. But, he was also largely Indebted to ' Bur-ton's "Anntomy' a treasure, which, after being well appreciated for nearly the whole of the seventeenth century, had become one of the neglected of the eighteenth. And he also conveyed from a host of obscure writers of different times authors of French :'antasie, like the Moyen de Parvenlr. Latin canonists and schoolmen, of all kinds, from whom something old could be obtained. there may have been unneces-sary mystification In his manner of xecuting these conveyances. It Is in his case, as In some If not most oth-?r-ordy those Ignorant enough not to suspeor recognize the borrowing who will be enough to use harsh language about it As has been often and most Justly said, a writer if Sterne's genius simply cannot steal because he cannot help making his stolen things his own In th process He does not kidnap; he adopts; and. In the adoption endows what Is adopted with his own position and wealth." Americanism By LEONARD WOOD ' 4 I was born an American I I will liv an American) I will dim an American. Daniel Wabitart ' Speech July 17, 1850. HERE Is as Intensive a of Americanism as evet was made. It Is a tingling thing. Webster made this speech when h was well advanced In life. He had lived long enough to know how good a thing It Is to be born an American; bow goid a thing It Is to live an Amer-ican, and how good a thing It Is to die an American. He had tested the life and found It good. If the men of all countries felt to-ward their own lands as Webster felt toward America there would be no emigration" to the United States unless It were forced by the overpopulation of the other countries of the world. The setting of the tide of emigration westwnrd proved that men of other lands looked on the blessing of life in this country as the great statesman-orato- r looked upon it. The immigrant was denied the privilege of American birth, but he was not to be denied the right of American living and ultimate-ly the right of American dying. One of the hardest things for men to understand today Is why there should be so strong a need for the Americanization of the Immigrant The presumption always has been that the man who wants to come to this country should know enough about Its Institutions, Its opportunities and its duties to make at least one kind of Americanization unnecessary. The people of this country, however, are confronted with the forbidding fact that. a considerable number of our Im-migrants need to be taught not only the customs of America but the spirit of things among us, those things which alone enn make real American-ism possible. The conclusion Is Inevitable that a ' few foreigners come to this country, not for the purpose of helping to keep America what It Is. hut to unmake our Institutions. Immigrants of this type find here some native born Americans who sympathize with their destruc-tive Intentions and give them covert, and not always covert, aid In their attempts to undermine the American wiiflce-- .

The apparent success of the Eekart rocess in cultivating sugar cane has een the subject of ranch discussion, ccording to the Tech Engineering 'ews, since experiments on large ireas have Indicated that the cost of ;rowlng the cane can be reduced from V) to 70 per cent and the crop by ten tons an acre, which is qulvalent to one. ton of raw sugar. Vfter the field has been planted It is overed with a peculiar asphalt paper hat will withstand six weeks of venther and that at the same time Is oft enough to allow the sharp grow-n-points of the sugar cane to break hrough. The cane grows more and the weed seeds sprout at mce, but the wpeds are quickly danched and withered by the black overing. The paper Is made by cook-n-pulp for 12 hours with lime unde; nressure and then after a few days nnning It out on the paper machine md treating it with asphalt. Hindu Barber a Man of Parts. Now that the price for halreutting iias risen, which means that possibly the barber will not be so busy In the future, perhaps we shall find him even-tually emulating the Hindu halrcutter. The latter is an Individual of im-mense Importance in India, and as his duties are many, he is In constant de-mand. At a birth the Hindu barber Is the man employed to carry the eventful news to the various family relatives, while at a funeral he shaves he heads of the living and the dead. The Hindu halrcutter has no shop, nd, unlike our barbers, he displays no poles, signs or symbols. He can be seen strolling along near the ba-zaars, with a small bundle under his mn or carrying a little bag. At all re-ligions rites he Is to be observed ; he bores the girls ears and noses for the various rings which are worn ; nnd, In fact, the busy Hindu barber will un-dertake almost .any surgical operation. Besides births and deaths, lie at-en-marriages. At a wedding, we are 'old, this busy barber is "best man." The touch of this handy man, by ihe way, Is exceptionally light, and it Is said that he can shave his cus-tomers while they sleep. ' Crusoe's Umbrella Defoe, It will be remembered, make Hoblnson Crusoe describe that - ha l.ad seen umbrellas employed In the Brazils and that he had constructed his own umbrella in Imitation of them.
