BARROW UNDER ARREST:
LABOR LEADERS NEXT

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 3O.-Thirty ar
rests of members of the alleged "In-
ner circle of labor leaders who, it is
alleged, are concerned in the dynamit-
ings which eliminated in the McNa-
mara arrests, are expected before the
end Of the week. Unless something un-
fOrseen develops the federal officials
declare the federal grand jury will
complete its work tomorrow night and
report Friday or Saturday.

$4,000 bond with the county that they
can do the work and will complete it at
the sum specified.
This action "knOcks into a cooked
hat" all the argument that the court
house cannot be built for less than
$15O,0OO, or $4,000 which some men
have offered, and puts the people who
advocate repairs to cost $4,000 in the
peculiar light Of wanting to pay more
than half the cost of new court honse,
for patchwork that cannot last until
the repairs are paid for.

the spirit of the meeting. During the

sang a solo entitled, 'It Was Home,
For Mother Was There"
After the announcements Professor
and Mrs. Moody sang as their farewell
message a beautiful duet, "SOme Time

Mr.. Lawry's topic was s'The IMAM
sWerable Question:"
He said in part:
MY text this evening is question;
more, it is an unanswerable question.
''My text is Heb. 2:3, How shall we
escape if we neglect so great saliva
tion?" There is no escape, for those
who neglect, hence, there is no answer
to this question. There is no escape
for the man who neglects.
First of all I want to call your at
tention to the greatness of this saliva
ton that so many of you are neglect
ing.
''It is great because of it's author
Many times simply the name of the
author will give a book large cir IL

author of salvation should commend it
to everyone. And who is the author?

turns to sin and unrighteousness-s
then, left to himself of the world of |
God and the Spirit of God, he would
never seek a way of salvation. So then
God is the author. John 3:16, For God

bridge cost, the monument does not
give the dollars and cents expended in

AFGHAN FEUDS.
towers of Refuge From Which the
Warfare IssConducted.

In Afghanistan the people are
good haters. The blood feud exists
in all Afghan tribes. When a muir
der occurs the avhnger does not lin
it his reprisal to the murderer, but
kills any relative that comes handy.
This, in turn, calls for a counter at
tack, and in time matters become so
complicated that whole families are
wiped out. When the tribe is called
upon to meet a common enemy the
heads of the families who have had
a quarrel bury two stones side by
side in the presence of the mullah
as symbolic of the feud being put
out of sight during the public dan
ger. When affairs revert to their
normal state the stones are solemn
ly disinterred and the two parties
are free to go on shooting at each
other again.
Every Afghan villager of moder-
ate means owns a tower of refuge
standing at the corner of his court
yard. These towers, made of stone
and mud, are perfectly solid for the
lower twenty feet or so, the top be-
ing surrounded by a ~loophole wall
and covered over to make it habit
able. The base is protected by a
gallery, and the only means of as
cent is by a rope and a hole just
large enough for n mar to crawl
through. Whenever a man has
made things too hot for himself he
takes refuge in his tower, and by
the unwritten Law Of the country he
can never be starved out so long as
food and water r brought to him
by a woman.
A traveller in Afghanistan tells of
seeing one tower of refuge whose
occupant had not stirred outside for
ten years. His only amusement was
taking shots at the occupant of an
other tower, which were duly re-
turned. In the meantime their
wives visited each other and Cos
siped and we're on terms of perfect
amity.

TIN CATCHES COLD.
And When It Does the Metal Finally
CrumhIes to Powder.

Certain metallic elements have
their ailments and indispositions,
but the tin plague is probably the
most remarkable of them all. If
tin catches cold it will decay, it will
lose its Iuster and finally crumble to
a gray powder. The change is not a
chemical one, for the gray powder
is still tin, and it can be brought
back by careful warming to its
original healthy condition.
Apparently, when the tin is very
pure it is more susceptible to cold
and consequent decay. In fact, it
may be made proof against the dis
ease by ALLOWING it with other met
ais. The disease is a source Of con-
siderable annoyance and Gisappoint-
mcnt to the collectors of coins who
possess valuable tin specimens in
their cabinets.
This curious failing Of tin, says
