No VICE HOUSES
IN FIVE YEARS,
SAYS CHIEF 8

In less than nve years every rec
ognized house of vice in the United
States will be closed"
This was the statement made to-
day by James L. Beavers, chief of po-
lice of Atlanta. who returned last
night from Washington and the con-
vention Of the International Associa-
ton of Police Chiefs.
More time was allotted to discus
sion of the social evil than. in any
previous convention of the police
chiefs, Beavers said. Last Wednes-
day the whole afternoon session was
devoted to the topic Chief Beavers
made an address, and it was this ad-
dress and the chiefs record in At
lanta which stimulated the discussion.
There has been a wonderful in
crease of sentiment among chiefs OF
police in favor OF closing these
houses" Chief Beavers said to-day.
This feeling was demonstrated at
the convention last week.
Last Wednesday the convention
used the whole afternoon for discus
sion of the social evil. That was the
first time so much attention ever had
been given to this subject. The po-
lice chiefs are giving more attention
now to talking and thinking about
this question than ever before, and
the sentiment Is rapidly growing in
favor Of absolute suppression.
Some of the chiefs in attendance
at the convention favored segrega
tion, but all of them admitted the law
favored suppression, and that sup
preston was right. The only ques-
ton seemed to be whether the laws
could be enforced, and the majority
sentiment was they could.
The chiefs know suppression is
right. and after listening to the dis
cussions and studying the sentiment
manifested there, l believe IN Less
than five years every recognized
house of vice in the United States
will be closed"

The Oath Gesture.

The act of uplifting the hand during
the taking Of an oath is so ancient that
it would be futile to even attempt to
say when it started. Homer mentions
1t as common among the Greeks Of his
time, and 1t is also found In the earliest
Biblical time. For instance, Abraham,
the father of the Jewish people, says
II have lifted up my hand to jehovah"
showing that even at that remote Pc
riod the practice was existent. 1t was
from the Jews, of course, that the prac-
tice found its way into Christendom,
where it has ever since held its place

DEsoLATE MONGOLIA.
A Bleak Country, the Very Spirit OF
Which 10 Rsstl0ssness.

Which 10 ROStlOSSneSo.
Beyond the forests Of Siberia lies the
barren center Of the Asiatic continent
that inhospitable. desolate land of
nakedness, the haunt Of roaming nom
ads, a region Of bitter winds and hos
tile climate. In the very heart of the
greatest continent, In that part of the
earth's surface which is farthest re-
moved from the sea, lies the lone, bleak
land Of Mongolia.
In all Its immense area there are but
few towns where men live settled lives,
and It possesses but q scanty popula-
ton, while because by its very position
1t Is cut of from the softening influence
Of the sea it presents a dreary aspect
Of windy wastes, endless steppes and
barren mountains.
Wild and wide is Mongolia, stretch
ing as 1T does for 1000 miles in the
savage splendor Of limitless expanse.
Man cannot rest in such country nor
live a sedentary life. 1t has been the
birthplace of the greatest migrations
the world has ever seen. Restless
movement, in fact, is the very spirit
of Mongolia.
What history this land could tell If
only its deserts could speak and its
mountains bear Witness! Here rode
Genghis, the Mongol Alexander, the
most ruthless and inhuman destroyer
the world bas experienced. On these
wide plateaus wandered those Mongol
herdsmen who fed their flocks and
moved their camps with complete con-
tent and splendid isolation until at last
the wanderlust came over them and
they burst out from their fastness to
overrun the world. Wide World Mag
