TURKEY IS INVADER
 OF BULGARIAN SOIL

The Turks have occupied and burned villiges. It Is reported that as far as Philipopolis there is some skirmishing and but little resistance by the Bulgarians. In Vienna, it Is reported the Turks have crossed the Bulgarian frontier at three places, roughly coinciding with the routes followed last October by the Bull garians

 Violence is Expected.
 CALUMET. Mich. July 24.-Vio- lating the orders of the Western Federation of Miners against vio- fence. many of the fifteen thousand striking miners of the copper belt created enough disturbances today to result in ordering out the troops No concentrated attack was made on mine property or persons about the mines, but several persons were in jured and there were sporadic brawls.
 The chief disturbance today was an assault on deputy sheriffs sta toned at the mines of the Calumet | Hecla Company to protect that prop erty. None of the mines attempted to operate but the strikers seemed to object to the presence of the deputies and took away their stars. There were many fights after the stars were collected and a few men were taken to the hospitals The | strikers then deserted the surface plants, forcing suspension of |

THREE INTERESTING ARTICLES.

Lady Cook, nee Tennessee Chaflin. who is admittedly a pioneer in the feminist movement, and the agita- ton to introduce into social and educational life a practical system of eugenics, has consented to write for the United Press a series of three articles on The ALEC of Eugenics," and these have been se- cured by The Star, and the first is printed in this issue.
 The life of Lady Cook, whose in dependent fortune has made pos sible her free lecture tours, is we'll known, and since she first began her work fifty years ago has been eloquent proof of her sincerity of purpose and courage of conviction. Even to those who do not believe in eugenics, her articles will fur nish lines for new thought and study. The first article appears in this issue, and the others will ap- pear in following weeks.

CHINESE CHRISTIANS ORGANIZE
Will Found Church Not Under Con
 trOl of Foreigners.

Ranking, Dec. i6.-Chinese Chris tians to the number of TO today took preliminary steps toward the organization of a Christian church, to be free of foreign control. At called meeting of the Ranking Evangelical Association they decid- ed to found such a church to meet the wants of the students of Chris tianity, and to draw into the church all educated young men who pro fess to be Christians, but who do not attend any of the existing churches. This action is the out come of a rousing revival which foreign missionaries held here last spring. Thousands of Chinese at tended and 400 signed cards to in dicate their desire to study Chris tianity. One hundred and seventy of these objected to joining church. es which were dominated by for eigners. The plan to organize a native controlled church followed. The foreign missionary body held several discussions over the action, and appointed a committee to assist the Chinese in drawing up the necessary constitution.

How to Build a Great Citv

Civic government, even with com plete cooperation of all the peo- pie, IS truly a science, requiring the strictest and most careful effort on the part of those in charge of it's affairs, coupled with cleanliness to every detail-meaning by cleanli- ness the rejection of every vistage of self-interest or other act. thought or deed calculated to mar or divert the mind of anyone towards inc line disharmony.
 The gist of good government is a universal intent and effort for inc good of all the people concerned regardless of condition or social standing.
 Ihls, Tn word. is the spinal col umn or every well-governed city. without which we cannot hone fo succeed. Every civic organization not possessing this is detriment rather than a benefit.
 With this thought paramount in all our citizens, the beautiful city Of Mena can be made so ideal thai people will be attracted from every quarter till all our houses will be niled With good people whose faces will be aglow with smiles and their lives Hull of gladness and prosperity VIII anyone organize thisP

THE FISH HATCHERY.

The bill to establish a government fish hatchery at Mena, introduced by Congressman Wingo and first announced in The Star in its spe- cial Washington letter of this week, is a measure that is amply justi- fled by conditions. In fact, for that reason, and that reason only, it has been discussed by people conversant with the situation for a number of years.
 Mena is located near the center of the county from which flow scores of treams-streams that feed the large rivers north, east and south. With a hatchery here, the young fish could be distributed more wide ly, it is believed, than from any other point in the state, and with little effort.
 At this time when the tendency of all food products, particularly in the meat class, is to climb higher and higher in cost, every step that can be taken to protect from wan ton destruction the fish in our streams and to add to their number through hatcheries, is move in the right direction.
 Few, if any here had any idea our Congressman was thinking of intro ducing such a bill, but he evidently has posted himself on local condi- ton and is not overlooking a good idea.

\ Trinity of FatigueS.

In the January Woman's Home Companion appears a "Just-Before- Christmas" editorial, an extract from which follows:
 Looking into this Christmas throng that is now gathering, and which will gather even more and more densely up to 10 o'clock Christmas Eve, it seems to resolve itself in a Trinity of Needless Fa- tigue.
 First the fatigue of those who make. Nobody knows beforehand exactly how the taste of the people is going to jump, and so, after sam ples have been sent out and orders
 have come in the girls in the manu- featuring places begin to work
 They work in shifts, day shifts and nights shifts; they work overtime. Some make a little extra and some
 only hold down their jobs, accord | ing to the. laws of the stale in which they are working.
 Then there is the fatigue of those who sell. These are not only the girls whom we see, pale-faced behind the counters. selling goods
 10 a thoughtless public at the last moment, but that horde of girls who are rolling up packages in the | packing rooms, who work twelve or fourteen hours a day in this mad
 orgy of eleventh-hour buying. All
 these people are pressed into ser- vice for few weeks each year be-
 cause of this riot of hasty buying with which a Christmas nation is lparadoxically getting ready to
 celebrate the feast of Peace on
 earth, good will toward manr "The third in the Trinity of Need less Fatigue is the woman who buys and the woman who makes at home the woman who must buy a great
 deal on a very little money, the
 weary house-mother on whose shoul-
 ders rests the burden of all the un- necessary part of each individual little Christmas sacrifice that is
 being celebrated throughout the country, the woman who is going to be finishing Christmas presents and tying Christmas bundles until late on Christmas Eve, who is going to be too tired on Christmas morn ing to enjoy the joy of her own children.
 With each individual one of us rests the responsibility of seeing how many victims to this Christmas madness there are going to be; how many house-mothers too tired to enjoy their own merrymakings, how many overworked girls and women in factory and in store. We must not only do our Christmas buying early, but we must also do our Christmas buying sensibly and our Christmas making sanely."

MYSTERY SHIP LAUNCHED.
Battle Cruiser Tiger of English
 Navy Takes to the Water.

Glasgow, Scotland, Dec. i5.-The British battle-cruiser Tiger, the mystery ship" was launched today at the Clydebank ship building works, where keel plate was laid on June 20, 1912.
 Details of the new vessel have been strictly guarded. Her engines are designed to give hitherto unat- tempted horsepower of 100000, cal culated to develop a speed which will eclipse that of any naval vessel afloat.
 Unofficial reports give the Tigers dimensions as: Length over all, 700 feet; beam, 90 feet; displace- ment, 30,000 tons. Her armament is said to comprise eight l3.5 inch guns in pairs in turrets on center line, and t2 6-inch guns in case ments with two 2i-inch submerged tubes.

EUGENIC EPIGRAMS

For children to seek knOwl- edge of the mysteries of their physique is held grossly inde- cent.
 Yet man is the most beautiful piece of mechanism; in all Ma ture most worthy and profitable of study.
 The general teaching that we are conceived in sin and born in iniquity is as false as it is blaSphemOuS.
 The nauseOus purity" which accounts our bodily functions as vile and not to be discussed should be secuted as criminally filthy.
 We should, as prOpagatOrs 0f the race, teach our children What is their birthright to know. Don't make them learn it on the street corners.

----''7-- ONE JOB AT A TIME.

The new Mena Commercial Clut seems to have adopted pretty good plan. It first determines what it wants to do, then concentrates all it's energies in the doing.
 By getting the sentiment of the members, it was determined that the establishment of a Trades day in Mena was the most urgent pro ject. With that decision reached, there was no time wasted on other things, no scattering of attention. Every thought then was concen- trated on the matter in hand.
 And, considering the early date set for a start, for the first Trade and Auction day, it is quite neces- sary that this be done. There is lots of work to do, work for the committees and for every member. There should be no delay in getting started-if there should be the en- terprise is sure to suffer.
 The possibilities of this move ment are large. Many a town with less opportunity for advancement than Mena has been brought out amazingly by just this sort of a movement, and all that will be re- quired to make it a success in Mena is little cooperation and organ ized effort on the part of our citi- Zens.
 It is safe to say that if the plans as detailed last night are carried out, Mena's trade territory will be widened by a good many miles in every direction and the people of both city and country benefited thereby.
 There's room in this movement for every good citizen. and this is no time to sulk or hold back.

New York, Dec. Tive nave been taught for ages to disregard our
 bodies. as things vile and unclean | bv nature. A general ignorance of them has in the past times been strenuously encouraged, and IS still
 reproach to our civilization. Any youth or girl attempting to learn
 the mysteries of their physique would be accounted forward or ln- delicate, and a study of their real origin would be held as grossly ln- decent.
 Yet man is the most beautl1ul and most wonderful piece of anl- nal mechanism, in all Nature most worthy, and most profitable o1 study. All his faculties and powers, his thoughts and emotions, are governed by the structure and state of his body. It should be his duty, then. to know all he can about 1t, and as early as possible. This should form a chief part of the education of every child according to it's age and capacity, and enter into the curriculum of every school. Physiological works should be studied as well as the Bible, be- cause of their greater utility.
 In our old family Bible there IS a picture of Eve rising as con- plete and mature woman out of the side of man, as he reclines in sleep. We have seen the same monstrous idea similarly treated elsewhere. Children may view these false delineations without hesitation because they are sane toned by the authorities, but were a mother in parturition eX- hibited to the young, even in the most proper manner, it would be bounced upon by the police.
 The theological fable is preferred to the psychological fact. Our backwardness in this is partly due to the medical profession, members of which may not want trade se- crets to be too freely divulged to outsiders" The general teaching that we are conceived in sin and born in iniquity is as false as it is blasphemous, and an insult to every parent. To tell sober people that a pure-minded couple are deflled by their own connubial embraces, is at once to vilify Nature and it's Author. I say to parents, do not believe in this disgusting doctrine
 Our young men and young wom- en are imperfectly instructed-it instructed at all. Countless thou sands are grossly ignorant of the most elementary circumstances pertaining to married life, even aft CT they have chosen their mate The sexual side of our being has been so stigmatized that our other natural appetites have shared in it's degredation. We boast of our love of art, literature science, but are ashamed of our bodily organs and functions, and shun the knowledge lof our own physiology. These beautiful structures, which il should be our pride to improve and preserve untainted, are accounted vile and not 10 be discussed The
 nauseous purity which produces | all this should be secuted as crimi-
 nally filthy and recklessly foolish.
 We should, then, as propagators
 Of the race, take the only course
 and teach our children what is their birthright to know, and not give
 them the opportunity to learn il
 from the whisperings of older and levll companions, on the street cor nerS and in the cloakrooms.
