AMERICANS MARRY FRENCH.
Subject is Interestingly Discussed by
An Army Nurse.
An American navy uurse who ad?
mits she's slightly jealous, furnishes
perhaps the first really thoroughgoing
and expert opinion on the Franco-American
marriage situation in
France. After a year and a half in
France this American girl finds
French femininity "delightful," with
a knowledge of captivating masculine
hearts that would put most American
girls completely out of the running.
She suggests the advisability
of presenting President Wilson with
y a petition to send all American troops
home at once, "in the name of Americai
debutantes." Her letter written
to a relative in New York appears in
I* V '
the New York Evening Sun:
You seem rather incredulous about
so many of our American boys having
married Frenchwomen. Why, I
wonder? I don't see any reason why
they should not. The Frenchwoman
Is a delightful creature. Even we
American and English nurses can see
that, much as we should like at times
to see otherwise, for we're still human
and still feminine, and it goes
. rather hard with us to see some of
the finest of our soldier lads marrying
pretty little Alines, Maries and
Ninettes.
We think we could And better
mates for them, and some of us think
that a few could be found without
even going outside of France. But
still they are being captivated?we
call it "captured" when we talk
among ourselves?by the Frenchwomen.
Louise told me last night that
she had it on positive authority that
in the neighborhood of 100,000
American soldiers and sailors had
married Frenchwomen over here! No
wonder we are jealous?only don't
tell anybody that we are, for maybe
. I'm the only one of us who is ready
to admit it even to herself.
Still as I've just said, I don't
blame the boys. These girls are really
almost irresistible, and they unk
derstand the art of flirtation better
when they are born than the average
American woman understands it alter
her fourth divorce. They know
how to dress, too, to bring out the
* very littlest as well as the greatest
of their charms. And they know how
to talk to our soldiers with their
eyes and hands and shoulders better
I * than we Americans can talk to them
^ in their own United States. They
speak a ^universal language?the language
of appeal?and they never fail
to make themselves understood.
Besides this more or less superficial
charm, the Frenchwoman is tru
ly a woman. Ttiey mane wonaerrun
wives and mothers. I've been her*
long enough to see that. They make
even better wives and mothers than
'
they do sweethearts. They're wonderful
housekeepers, although, ex^
I cept among the upper classes, they
do run to too much furniture in their
Mk\
parlors and too much garlic in their I
kitchen, to suit my plain tastes. But
how they do understand food conservation
and economy. Mr. Hoover
S;.
could learn quite a few lessons from
them if he cared to study them.
j
And on top of all this femininity
they are fighters. They are the bravest
women as a class, I believe I have
ever known, and the most consistently
patriotic. Their patriotism is
so deep, so much a part of them, that
they never think of saying anything
about it. If you separate a Frenchwoman
from her love of France and
her desire to serve France, you would
have to tear her limb from limb and
pick, her to pieces, it goes all through
^ her. and enters subconsciously into
everything she has done since she
. has been a Frenchwoman. You know
something of \<"hat they've done since
the summer of 1914 from your reading
of the papers and magazines, but
that full history can never be written.
So, why shouldn't our boys love
them, and marry them? Anyway,
whether they should or should not,
they're doing it. Can't you do some
V?{v?cr rtnrc-iioHa pr nrom m OTl t

to have them all brought home?
We're thinking about presenting a
petition to Mr. Wilson while in
France, begging him in the name of
American debutantes, to send ocr
boys home.
Merely a Matter of Choice.
"Bobby," said the teacher sternly,
"do you know that you have broken
the Eighth Commandment by
stealing James's apple?"
"Well," explained Bobby, "I
thought I might just as well break
the Eighth and have the apple as to
break the tenth and only covet it."

FOR THE BENEFIT
OF ILLITERATES
Bill Introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf?The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
! The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South?Will SpenS Millions
Among the Uneducated.
The fact that several thousand soldiers
were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
questionnaires brought to light a condition
so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education of illiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has introduced
a bill in the Senate "to promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the English
language, and other resident persons
of foreign birth," and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
of Alabama.
The introduction of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne a
em- nut r\f nrnnor
I cpuianuu 1U1 xiUkgiuv; vuw V*
tion to that of the rest of the country.
Just what steps will be immediately
taken as the result of the passage
of the education of illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical measures
will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural I
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that of
the government are at work on the
same problem?the establishment of
schools in the heart of tenement dis- I
tricts and rural communities being a \
matter of first importance with all of
them. One of the most significant
movements of the times in this con
nection is that of the Centenary of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years over
13,000,000 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise a fund j
of $35,000,000 in an eight-day drive in j
April, the financial campaign being a j
part of the Centenary Celebration of,
the denomination. The money is being
raised with a view to putting the
work of the church on a business
basis, the church considering its duty j
to the illiterates here in America to be ;
among the matters of first importance j
which It should undertake. A survey |
has been made and the result of the I
campaign will be the apportionment of j
$3,000,000 among the various illiterate
population as follows: Mountain population,
$750,000; Immigrant, $900,000;
negroes, $500,000; Indians, $150 000;
cotton mill population, $160,000; Christian
literature for all of them, $100,000.
With the definite step undertaken i
at Washington, with one denomination j
already completing its plans for fur-;
thering the work among them, and
with other churches and organizations
eetting ready to join hands in their j
behalf, it is more than possible that I
the illiterates of the South are in a
fair way to soon become educated citizens
of the United States.
METHODIST LEADERS
RETURN FROM FRANCE
Three prominent leaders of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, |
have just landed in America, after j
spending two months in Europe, where
they went for the purpose of investi-!
gating actual conditions and deciding j
upon a program for the expenditure of
$5,000,000, which sum will be allotted
to European upbuilding by the Centenary
Commission of the denomination.
The three returning church leaders
are Bishop James Atkins, Chairman of
the Centenary Commission; Bishop1
Walter Lambuth, who has been in Europe
for nearly a year in the interest
n* his church; and Dr. W. W. Pinson,
General Secretary of the Mission
Board.
Dr. Pinson and Bishop Atkins returned
to the headquarters of the denomination
at Nashville the latter part
of the week, and Bishop Lambuth went
directly to his home at Oakdale, California.
Whilo the plans for the European
work have not been announced as yet,
the returning members of the commission
say that they have mapped out a
very satisfactory program and that
five million dollars of the Centenary
fund vr^.l be expended in upbuilding
schools ard churches in the devastated
lands of Belgium, Italy and Franct.
f UitE BREDPOULTRY
What Gemson's Poultry Divsion
is Doing.
Clemson College. ? Improvements
are being constantly made in the poultry
plant operated by the Division of
Poultry Husbandry of Clemson College.
The main object in establishing
this plant was to enable the students
taking the poultry course at the College
to study and handle typical specimens
in the popular breeds of poultry,
and *lso to supply breeding stock
V*irrVi rtiioliftf +r\ tlao fVm I
j KJL 4UUI t; IW CilVy luiliiviw WJU ?,UV
State and to others who wish to im!
prove the breed of chickens kept at
home.
The following breeds are represented:
Barred Plymouth Rocks, in which
both the cockerel-bred and pullet-bred
lines of breeding are being carried on
separately; Single Comb Rhode Island
Reds, White Wyandattes, Single Comb
Buff Orpingtons, Dark Cornish (Indian
Game), Black Langshans and Single
Comb White Leghorns.
Every specimen in these breeding
pens has been personally selected, and
many State Champions, blue ribbon
winners, and fowls of exceptional
merit can be found therein. For example,
the cock heading the first pen
of Rhode Island Reds is a jbrother of
the State Champion Male; the cock at
the head of the Barred Plymouth Rock
pen for producing exhibition cockerels
came from Judge Cosh in New
Jersey at a large outlay; the dark
Cornish pen contains females that j
were never beaten in the shows of
South Carolina.
For- four years Clemson College
bred the Tom Barron strain of heavy
laying Single Comb White Leghoims. j
The stock and eggs of this strain have !
been distributed over the State and i
the females are certainly heavy egg j
producers. However, there is one ob-i
jection to this strain of White Leghorns
and that is their unfitness for
pxhibition mirnoses. Since every other
breed of poultry kept at the College
is of the highest quality, the Tom Barron
White Leghorns with their big
combs, high tails and sometimes j
brassy plumage looked entirely out of
place.
This year a breeding pen of the best
exhibition strain of Single eomb
White Leghorns has just been obtained
from the leading breeder of Illinois.
The male won second at the
recent Chicago Show in a class of
over three hundred Leghorns, while
the females are of the same high
quality. As many chicks as possible
will be reared from this pen so that
the flock of White Leghorns will be
built up to its former number.
I While it is not the intention of the
I Division of Poultry Husbandry to
grow stock for sale or to sell eggs for
hatching, it frequently happens that
fine breeding and exhibition birds can
be obtained and also a few sittings of
eggs from some of these high class
breeding pens. Tnat the farmers and
breeders of the State are availing
themselves of this opportunity to obtain
the best breeding stock and eggs
is shown by the fact that the demand
far exeeeds the supply.

PRESERVE EGGS.
Water Glass Keeps Them at Two
Cents Per Dozen.
Clemson College.?The preservation
of eggs in a solution of water glass
is increasing in popularity every year.
It is unquestionably a successful method
of keeping fresh eggs from spring
until the winter months. The process
is very simple and no loss can be sustained
if the eggs are placed in the!
solution the day they are laid and the ;
solution is pure and suitable for the!
purpose.
Unless a good grade of water glass
for preserving eggs can be obtained i
from the local druggist, it is preferable
to order the liquid direct from
the manufacturers. One gallon of the
"E" brand used will make sufficient
preserving solution to cover from fifty
to eighty dozen eggs. A gallon can
shipped by prepaid Parcel Post costs
a little more than $1.00. The expense
of the solution is, therefore, less than
2c per dozen eggs.
i.'Ka r\i? r?nils fltnnA
w uuueu Acgo, iu WO VA w ,r,
i crocks, galvanized iron cans, or any
j other convenient vessels will serve
the purpose. It is important to keep
the vessel covered tightly to prevent
the preserving solution drying down
and exposing the eggs. At least two
inches of solution should be above the
top layer of eggs. The vessels containing
the eggs should be kept under
the house or in a cool place in sum:
mer, and in the pantry in cold weather.
It has been found, however, that
! even if the solution froze solid the
! eggs were not injured in any way. The
J name of the manufacturer of water!
glass and further information can be
! obtained from the Extension Service
of Clemson College.
Do not wait when insects are found
doing damage to crops of any kind.
Start control measures at once. If j
control measures are not known, see |
j your County Demonstration Agent or ;
write to the Division of Entomology, j
Clemson College. The best results are |
secured by prevention. - j

Considered.
Paris, March 28.? (By the Assoted

the committee having in charge the
^election of the official seat of the

decision in favor of Geneva.
Brussels, The Hague, Rome and j
Constantinople also were considered j
by the committee.
The Hague, although it has the!
advantage of possessing a building
for peace conferences that would immediately
be available, is objected j
to by several countries, especially i
some of the Latin world, which op-!
