MOVIE RODEO DULLS
INTEREST IN SPORT
El Paso Tex. — Motion pictures
have spoiled the cowman's desire to
-ee roping, riding and other forms
. f "wild west" exhibitions. This
was demonstrated lately during the
”* Panhandle Southwestern Stockmen's
association convention here. The
rodeo and roundup was a failure,
while the theaters, tea rooms and
cabarets did a rushing business.
One cattleman explained it in a
characteristic statement: "We've
seen too many of these hair pants
heroes from Hoboken in the movies
to want to go out and watch them
do indifferent riding and roping.
Besides, we see all that we want
at home. When we are tn town
we like the theaters, the dances
and other city life of which we are
deprived out on the range,”

FOOD SUPPLIES

PARIS.—Utter misery, starvation,
and despair prevailed in the new
republic of Czecho-Slovakia before
the Allied governments began to
ship food supplies to that country
in the latter part of February.
It is not known here whether this
situation has been relieved to any
large extent but shipments of flouf.
milk and other supplies have since
beer, forwarded to Prague and ad
ditional footstuffs were in Triest
awaiting transportation to the
Czecho-Slovaks.
An appeal by Or. Alice G. Mas
arvk, daughter of President Masarvk,
and head of the Czecho-Slovak Red
Cross, written on February 20. pic
tures the conditions in her country
as a terrible one. American. Brit
ish and French authorities are en
deavoring to respond.
It is stated that, unless help ar
rived quickly, a million children
under six years old were doomed
to die; that 2,000,000 children up
to 14 years were weak from under
feeding and that the mortality
among the old and feeble was ap
palling
Separated from the Allied terri
tories on three sides by Germany
and Austria, the Czecho-Slovak re
public was. even before its birth,
ruthlessly and systematically de
nuded by the Austrians of all food
stuffs and supplies. When hostili
ties were suspended, there was in
Czecho-Slovakia no corn. meat, cloth
ing or medicines. The scanty weekly
' ration of a pound of flour to each
person in Prague, the capital, ceas
jed on February 20. Two-thirds of
: the cattle and pigs of the country
already have been slaughtered and
the lack of fat is extreme. The
supply of milk was only one-thirtieth
, of normal. More than 80 per cent
, pf the babies of Prague were rachi
tic. anaemic or consumptive. More
: than half the patients in the child
ren's hospital died of consumption.
Jn : mining districts the posi
non as reported here, is still worse.
At Kladno, 116 of the 165 babies
born >n ISIS died of consumption.
Births throughout the country have
decreased one-half and deaths have
increased 56 per cent.
Almshouses, maternity hospitals
and other charitable institutions can
no longer feed their inmates. Nine
teen per cent of the infants under
one year in Pilsen, the formerly
flourishing city of breweries and
arsenal worker*, died last year from
lack of nutrition. Prices of house
hold commodities have risen 700 to
800 per cent while wages have in
creased g00 to 300 per cent. Cloth
ing costs ten times more than for
merly and sewing cotton is 100
times dearer than before the war.
These reports show that Professor
Thomas G. Masaryk, the first presi
dent of the new Czecho-Slovak re
public, who went from New York
last winter to assume his duties,
faces a herculean task. Writing to j
Lauv Muriel Paget on February 10.'
the president’s daughter told her, i
“father said he hoped you would
come. Do come and help us.” |
Lady Paget has obtained from ;
the French government, 10 trucks,
which the American Red Cross has
filled with medical supplies for the •
Czecho-Slovaks, and plans to take
to Bohemia 20 tons of rice. Re
cent information, however, states
that freight traffic to Bohemia is
disorganized and the fear is ex
pressed that the Austrian threat,:
“if we are to lose Bohemia, we shall
lose her as a corpse," may become
a terrible realitv.

ELECTRIC CAR IS
BEING OVERHAULED
The electric passenger coach be
longing to the Tanana Valley rail
road is now undergoing a thorough
overhauling preparatory to being
put into commission for the season.
The batteries are being recharged

It is expected that it will see j
much service this summer in con
veying passengers to and from the!
boats, which may be able to go up1
