i
The Hague.?The ideals and ideas *
Dutch women, for centuries con- '
no I to children, kitchen and church, (
v/o under ft one a chanfte and the
lughters of the land of windmill5 '
id canals are making a stiong fight
?r their rights.
Several great organizations have <
;cn formed for improvement of tlie i
mdition of women. With the re- i
i.sion of the Dutch constitution last 1
ar, women obtained full suffrage <
rid the result, is that now there are '
.ir.?nr? ir? ti/xirl v nvorf f,r>iun nntlTlcil.
Realizing, however, that the pos- ]i
&t&iQn of the voto alone doos not dc> ;
ido the* lot of women, the promoters ;
f the movement are now-seeking to J
ring about; changes in the laws and ;
ovulations which discriminate the '
ox. economically and' socially*
"According to the Dutch law*" said '
Irs. Wijnandts Francken, one of the
caders of tho women's movement,
the father has practically 'all the
lay' about the education of the chilIron.
Ho decides as to their future,
'.onsents to their marriage and may
-:end them wherever he likes. Of
course, this is of no importance what
ever in a good marriage, where fathei
and mother together debate abou'
such things, but this power of tht
father may easily be abused. I know
of several cases in which the father
deliberately took a child away and
hid it from its mother, without the
latter being able to do anything
against this course as the law was
on the side of the father.
"Another thorn in the flesh of the
Dutch woman is that she must promise
obedience to her husband in the
vow of marriage. Now, please don't
think that these women arc averse to
rule p*hI order. They only want to be
the equals of their husbands, not
their housekeepers.
"As things are now, a Dutch woman
has to suffer almost anything
from a tyrannical husband and noth?
-ill
mg snon. 01 auuiwci ^ wi u?uny ...
usage can rid her of his despotism.
"One of the greatest obstacles
these women leaders have to overcome
is the conservatism of the oldfashioned
women, who, especially in
the rural didstricts form a great part
of the population. But the women
who are fighting for the betterment
>f their sex hope in the end to sue
cecd in conquering this prejudice."

GOOD COWS MOST ECONOMICAL.
The first reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from
the fact that they provide the cheapest,
best and most wholesome food
for the family. Their value is hard to
estimate when. we consider the
amount saved on the bills. Their produce
is a superior substitute for many
foods necessarily purchased at high
prices. In fact, there is no economic
way of doing without plenty of gcoc
milk cows on the farm.

DODSON WOULD STOP
SALEOF CALOMEL
Says Calomel is Mercury and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver.
Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomci In the South. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They all
give the same reason, Dodson's Liver
Tone is taking its place. '?
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Ton^
is perfectly safe and gives better results,"
said a prominent local diuggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist.
A large bottle costs but a few cents,
and if it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation, you have only to ask
| for your money back.

STORYOFCRiME
IN LEMANS AREA
Many Murders and Robberies
Committed ? Three
Gangs at Work.
New York.?Murders and roberrles
committed in LeMans by gangs of
American and French soldiers using
women as decoys were described by
Maj. George Armstrong, a Detroit
efficiency engineer, who served as assistant
provost marshal in the American
ti\:op area.
Major Armstrong was called? by the <
defense as a witness at the- ?ourt>
martial on Governor's Island of Gapt. I
Karl W. Detzer of the Three Hundred
and Eighth military police company,
who is charged with cruelty to prisoners
while directing criminal' Invest ligation
work; in LeMans. Lieut. Thomas
HeiFernarr, defense counsel, is attempting
to show that these charges ,
were brought by a "ling'* out to "get''
Detzer, ami he has attacked the
credibility ? / virtually every government
witness.
Majoi Armstrong testified that he
held a direct charge of 2;200? military
police in LeMans from August,. 1918,
until January, 1919, and' that during
this period' 1,500,000* Americans passed
through the area;.
A large lawless element was at
work, he said, and white be was in
LeMans 25 murders were committed
and chateaux, robbed ot' thousands of 1
dollars* ' worth of. furnishings. The ;
thugs, he said,, were known at* the !
"River Gang," "Chateau Gang*'*
"Jewelry- Gang,"' ami other designations.
One Blench count atone,, he said,
lost $35,000 through the operations of
the "Chateau Gang."
The "River Gang," he testified,
made a practice of using women to
lure victims to robbery. All the
thugs, he said, were arrested by the
military police ami now are serving
sentences of two to 15 years. Notwithstanding
the character of the
men with whom they had to deal, he
said, all military police in the area
were ordered not to strike prisoners
except in self defense.
Capt. Arthur J. Laurin of Brookline,
Mass., a member of the military
police service assigned as a special in
1 vestigator to watch out for welfare
1 of prisoners in the guard house at the
classification camp at LcMans, also
' took the stand.
1 Ho testified that one of the wit'
nosses for uiO prosecution had once
I been brought before him charged
with murdering a Frenchman who before
he died whispered that he had
been assaulted by an American sol*,
dier.
Laurin stated that the government
witness in question had escaped from
i the guard house that day, that he had
f been arrested while intoxicated and
1, with his clothes stained with blood,
and that he had admitted having had
a row with a Frenchman. Laurin
l . added, however, that as there were no
d I witnesses to the assault, the charge
against him was dropped.
