PAGE FOUR THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER TRADITIONS 1,000 YEARS OLDUPSET Ancient City of Pressburg Changes Character: With Coming of New Rulers. RESULT OF PEAGE PARLEY Resentment Shown Over the Emprey- ment of Czechs in Government Po- sitions Formerly Occupled by Hun- garians—Many Are Expelled. Bratislava, Slovakia.—It is only on Ozechoslovakian maps that this an- clent Hungarlan city of Pressburg can be located by its new name. Ruled by Hungary for a thousand years, it passed under the control of the new Ozechoslovakian republic by the decis fon of the peace conference, and a large part of its Inhabitdnts do mnot take kindly to the new order of things, Its people are dominantly Germanic or Hungarian. The street signs are in German and Hungarian characters, and now to them 18 being added Czech. The old postal and telephone‘employees have been re- placed by Czechs and, Czech high of- ficere installed in the government. Slovak regiments on duty here have been replaced by purely Czech soldiers, In a city as old and conservative and routine as this, drifting through the centuries undisturbed in its social cus- toms, these things have made feeling run rather high in certain social strata. Many Are Expeiled. * Persons, regardless of sex, who have not acquired legal residence are being expelled. One man who told the Asso- clated Press he had lived and done business here for forty years was €x- pelled a few days ago. The list of those cited for expulsion is said to con- tain names of dead persons. Some Hungarians do not hesitate to express their resentment over the em- ployment of Czechs in government po- sitions here formerly occupied by the Hungarians. Czechs and many Slo- vaks of the educated classes who hold office under the government may this feeling is due to Hungarian and Ger- man propaganda, and has no real strength or extent. Also they admit the necessity of Czech officlaldom, as Slovakia has little or no educated class from which to draw executives of abil- ity. Hard to Upset Tradition. It 18 hard to upset rudely the tradl- tione of ten centuries, and talks with many persons, both in official and un- official circles, would indicate that the antagonism displayed toward the Czechs is a natural condition of this period of transition and is not deeply rooted. Probably- it is stronger here in Pressburg than in the other parts of Slovakia, where the change is not 80 apparent. 4 The school question plays a very prominent part in the situation here. The government has abolished the Ger- man and Hungarian languages in the schools, and this means a general Sust- Ing of teachers and a reaction in house- holds. : \ POLICE SCRUB BOY’'S TEETH 8ix Officers Called in to Silence Pre- tests of Unruly Pennsylvania Youngster. Reading, Pa—Yells that sounded Hke “murder” led dwellers in the ex- clusive apartment house at Ninth and Penn streets to summon the police. In a room on the third floor of the building six policemen found a five- year-old boy from whom the screams emanated. His distress was due to the fact that his mother was brushing his teeth. The policemen took a hand in the performance. While four of them formed a hollow square, the fifth seized the youngster and held him while the sixth administered a thor- ough dental scrub. The policemen then made the boy promise to submit to the operation in quiet in the future. HOUSEMAID FOR PARLIAMENT Hatless English Lass Plans to Seek Election to Commons on Labor Ticket. [ London, England.—Jessle Stephens, | a housemaid with a mass of dark hair, and who generally goes about hatless, has signified her intention of entering the race for parliament on the labor ticket. She is endeavoring to gain a seat in the local borough council of Bermondsey and will then stand as a parliamentary candidate. She has been employed as & cook, housemaid, cook-general, boss of a large common lodging house in- Glas- gow, porter in a chemical warehouse and driver of a three ton lorry. Dehydrated Beefsteaks.: Wichita, Kan.—A. E. Smoll, a chemist with a packing company here, 18 experimenting with a view to reduc- ing thé high cost of living. His latest experiment i{s with beefsteak. By a process of dehydration—drawing all the water out of the meat—the steak is in a good state of preservation and is capable of being kept almost indefi- nitely. When it is desired to bring the steak back to a condition of freshness all that is necessary, Mr. Smoll says, is to soak it in water. The meat is said wever to lose its odor of fresh meat and it is as tough as mole leather when dehydrated, .din. MAKE :BOATS WINTER: HOMEfi Londoners Partially Solve Housing Question by Living on the Thames Close to the City. The housing question is being salved in a novel way between-Thames Ditton and Hampton court. Unable to obtain a room: occupants :of houseboats: are continulng to live in.their floating homes, and in one backwater, 13 miles from London, houseboats. are actually belng built for winter occupation, Lon- don Answers states. They are moored by a tree-sheltered bank. But you are.too.late to.apply|’ for them—they are.asll taken. One wonders ‘what will “happen ‘when the floods begin. Bungalows, which . usually: see no human soul save during the hot weather, are also’'finding winter ten:| ants. A fiveroom . bungalow - on Thames Ditton island: cost 25 shillings a week until April. . There may be a few of these left. One is at present occupied by a demolished soldier, but whether he will find Thames -mists easler to stand than Flanders:mud-re- mains to be seen. For the time being he I8 quite cheerful, however, and hawvs | - ing sought a house in vain, dees:not cavil at having to start his journey to London each day -by- boat. 4 Our ideas change according to our necessities. It was stated the other day that a distracted man had applied :)x. tEe government to let him a “pill NEWFOUNDLAND RICH IN IRON Enough Ore There to Supply the World for at Least a Century, if Not Longer. Lord Morris In a lecture at St. John's Wood Presbyterian church, -Marle borough place, London, .described the development of Newfoundland for the last 400 years, “from the time of the early colonizers up to the day when that great captain of industry, Lord Northcliffe, established the great paper mills that are now supplying the Times, the Daily Mall, the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Pictorial with paper.” He said that in Newfoundland today there were many paper “propositions” quite as attractive, if properly " de- veloped, as that of Lord Northcliffe and his brother, Lord Rothermere. There were also sufficlent fish on the Newfoundland banks and along the Newfoundland and Labrador shores to feed the whole of the British empire. They had only touched the fringe of that great fishing industry in which lay the possibilities of cheap food for Eng-|. land. ) i Lord Morris drew an attractive ple- ture of wonderful mineral possibilities, showing that Newfoundland was the second largest producer of iron in the British empire, England coming first, There -was enough iron ore to supply all the needs of the British empire and of the world for the next hundred years.~—London Mail. _— Headlines and Hosiery. Newspapers are said to be a com- fortable covering for benchwarmers; but who ever heard of stockings made out of that material? As a matter bt fact, the product that goes to make your favorite journal and artificial silk hosiery “that you can’t tell from real” is exactly the same. You can now lay the dengers of deforestation at the door of the economical fair sex as well us the journalist tribe, for both stockings and wuxtries are made from wood pulp. This last year 15 million paire of silk stockings so made were exported from the United States—between two and three times as many as in 1918, Manna Not Heavenly. Strange to stumble upon a quotatton about manna in news of the drug and chemical trades! The children of Is. rael, we know, were saved from: star- vation in the desert by it. It fell from heaven, was small like cortander seed,| and tasted like wafers made with honey. However, the actual manna of trade today comes from incisions in: South European trees and it is now reported to have been quoted higher than pre- viously in the primary market. The demand -hae increased of late, espe- clally for small flake manna, which is the better quality, coming from the upper part of the stem of the tree, Reforred to an Expert.
