The Turks Are Said 10 Have Inflicted
Great slaughter.

CONsTANTINOPLE. Dec. 25.-De-
spatches from Beyrut say that there was
serious fighting between Turkish troops
and the bruises near Suedich on Dec r..
The official accounts Is that tho Druses
lost 1920 Fiiied On the Turkish side ac-
cording 10 the official report, only 90 were
killed and nifty wounded.
Disorders are reported at Tarsus. The
disturbances We're quellel by the officials

believed that the trouble now reported eA-
plains the arrival at Mersina OF the Rev
Mr.. Christie a missionary. and his fami-
IS. as well a. many others, VINO undouJt-
eddy went there TO seek protection.
The Drus-s are people Of mixed race,
largely Persian and Arab, who live chiefly
in The Lebanon district OF Syria. Ihey
speak the Arabic language.
They produce and manufacture a great
deal OF silk. which IS their chief industry
and they have many admirable charac-
teristics They are subjects OF the sultan
Of Turkey. but they are bitterly hated by
most Turks because their religion, though
an oflshoot of Mohammedanism Is In
some OF its tenets opposed TO the very
spirit of the faith of Islam.
They say with the Mohammedans thar
there Is no God but God but they add
10 their belief in the Deity doctrine that
is very revolving 10 AlOslems.
They hold 10 a doctrine OF incarnation
which Is not wholly unlike the Christian
doctrine. They assert that God has re-
peatedly been incarnated. and the last OF
these incarnati lions, according to the Dru-
ses. was in the person Of Hakim Biam-
rillahi in the eleventh century.
Among their mountains they have main
tanned for centuries an almost indepen-
dent existence. Their present troubles
with Turkey have probably nothing TO
do with the disorders in Armenia north
east of their country.
Ii Is not unlikely that the number re-
ported killed is exaggerated. II IL be true,
about one-seventh of the entire people
were killed IN single day.-New York

No Joke After All.
IT went to my husbands Office yester-

the little woman IN the gray gown as
she settled back in her chair to tell her
dearest friend" the latest family joke
81 was down town shopping, and had
spent every cent had.
"Of course" said the dearest
friend" "That's the way always do
too. Did he grumble about itr"
mo; he wasn't at his Office. That's
where the joke comes in, you know"
"Jokel" exclaimed the dearest
tiond. 81 should have thought you
would have been mad enough toto
almost swear. "
81 was at first" admitted the little
woman in gray, "but when they told
me he had gone home early got over
being mad, because l know he'd gone
home to have n quiet little chat with
me before dinner and that he'd be as
mad as n hornet when he found WASH I
there. 1t made me laugh TO think of
him standing around the house and
swearing because wasn't home after
he'd left the office early to go to me. I
didn't hurry either. took my time, be-
cause, you know, it does man good to
have these little disappointments once
in awhile. If he always found his wife
home, he wouldn't half appreciate it. "

with interest.

81 don't see what there is funny about
that. "
why. the servant told him I'd gene
down town intending to go to his office,
and he said it made him laugh to think
how mad I'd be when 1 found he had
gone home. SO he had just sat there and
chuckled all the time until l came

The question is often asked, "Will an
object thrown into the air-either from
the hand, a volcano, or even when shot
from rifle or cannon-return to the earth
with the same initial velocity with which
1t leftf" The answer is, A projectile
thrown vertically upward into the air will
return with velocity less than the mi
tial. The word less is emphasized because
this view of the matter is contrary to the
one generally accepted. In the air the &C
celebrating force which acts during the de-
scent IL not equal to the retarding force
during ascent. The retarding force is the
same foi the weight of the projectile and
the atm ospheric resistance-both acting
In the same direction. In the descent the
accelerating force is the difference Of these
two since they act in opposite directions.
In vacuum it would be different. In that
case, the weight of the projectile being
the only force acting, this force would gem
crate in each foot Of the ball exactly the
same amount of velocity that 1t had lost
In its passage upward. Thus the final
would find 1t with speed equal to Its In
itial velocity.-St. Louis Republic.
