The National Council of Congrega-
tlonal Churches at its meeting in Kan
sas City, Mo-. went on record as favor
ing nationwide prohibition. The council
pledged itself to Initiate at once a
definite campaign" for an amendment
to the Federal constitution prohibiting
the manufacture, sale. ard importation
of alcoholic beverages. The Rev John
Faville, of Appleton, Wis, chairman
of the temperance committee, led the
fight for the resolution. Governor
Baldwin of Connecticut led the opposi-
ton. The former pointed out that the
liquor traffic is reconizcd by the United
States Supreme Court as an outlaw,
and that supreme authority having
paved the way for national prohibi-
ton, the council should not hold back: -
The vote stood SIT to ]4.
Similar action was taken by the Ma
tional Convention Of Methodist Men in
session at Indianapolis. The resolution
adopted declares that I'VE stand for
tine speediest possible suppression of
all liquor traffic; and the only proper
attitude of civil government toward
anything so harmful as the liquor traf-
tic is that of absolute prohibition;
and urges Methodists to cooperate in
all movements for its suppression.

What is Edueation2-Soon the H.
100000 children Of the country will
be back at their desks. There are
about 10000, 900 enrolled, but the av-
erage attendance is only about two
thirds of the total. What will these
children be studying?
Well, the history the children Of
Massachusetts, will learn will be dis
tinctly different from that the chill
dren of the south will absorb. With
in the past few years states have rush.
ed into the adopting Of their own Pc
culiar school books, and in some states
are official publication offices in an ef-
fort to head off the various book
trusts. In many cases the books pam
der to local prejudices and in some
they are ridiculously partisan.
In most states the book companies
have been at work, largely through
former teachers. to increase the cur
riculums, so that they may sell more
books. There is money in this and
some Of the money is tainted. The
result is that the child in school is
often loaded down with lot Of books
he will never understand and is made
to recite medley Of things that roll
off his mind like water Off the back Of
duck.
Education in the United States has
not yet entered the twentieth century.
1t is tagging twenty-five years behind
the times The most alert factors in
1t are the publishers who play politics
and sell books.-Philadelph Ledger.

WHERE CYCLONES ARE BORN
Cradle Of the American Tornado is lo-
Gated at Yuma, Arizona.

Cradle Of the American Tornado 10 lo-
Gated at Yuma, Arizona.
Science has at last placed it's finger
upon the exact birthplace Of the cy-
clones, which from time to time work
devastation through the west. Accord
ping to DR.. Emil Schildenkrantz. an
eminent German meteorologist, who
has been visiting this country, the cra-
die of the cyclone lies in the town Of
Yuma, Ariz. There is born and nur-
tured the whirling tornado-the dead
liest type Of destructive winds, veri-
table dancing dervish Of the gales.
Yuma lies one hundred and thirty
eight miles east of Denver, in the foot
hills Of the Rocky Mountains. Its al
titude is 400 feet.
1t Is generally agreed among the
weather experts that the destructive
whirling winds are caused by funnel
shaped cloud, that whirls about with
tremendous force in the manner Of a
summer resort merry-go-round.
AS soon as this vacuum forms, the
air rushes in to fill 1t, because, as the
text books say, nature abhors a vacu-
um. The air is then apt to swirl about
in a circle or spiral, which results in
a twisting wind, or cyclone.
Bearing these things in mind, DR.
Schildenkrantz determined to locate
the spot where natural conditions
made the formation of vacuums most
likely. He studied the trail of the re-
cent cyclone that swept through North
Kansas and expended it's chief fury or
the city of Omaha, and followed 1t ir
its mysterious beginning in Colorado
He was not satisfied until he came tc
Yuma, the little town on the eastern
slope of the Great Divide.
Careful study Of the environment Of
this town soon convinced the scientist
that his task was completed-he hat
found the cradle of the cyclone.
DR.. Schildenkrantz gives two reason:
for his contention that Yuma was tht
birth place of the recent cyclone, ant
was probably responsible for many
previous ones.
In the first place. he observed tina
the climate had sharp alterations O
heat and cold. This is but one condi
ton making directly for the creation o
vacuums in the air. The days are in
tensely warm in summer. Last month
for instance, the thermometer climbed

Iowa Well cultivated.-Iowa has
1S9,696 farms with a total acreage Of
30,914,17S acres. The average size of
an Iowa farm, according to the most
recent figures, is 1928 acres.
More acreage was devoted to corn IN
1912 than to any other grain crop, the
total acreage in corn being 9,420,434
acres. The total acreage in pasture
was S,96S,644 The total acreage In
oats last year was 4,S74,752; the total
acreage in winter wheat was 497,93S
acres, and in spring wheat 3S9,371
acres. The total acreage in barley was
3S9,410 acres. There was a big acreage
in tame hay, the total being 2,635,744
acres. The acreage Of wild hay was
754,374, and the alfalfa acreage 1854.
There was 120,O35 acres in potatoes.
More than 95 per cent Of the land of
Iowa is in cultivation. There Is no 9TH
er state in the Union that has such a
large per cent of its total area in crops.
Not alone is the acreage large, but from
one end Of the state to the other the
soil Is fertile and practically all Of 1t
is adapted to growing varied crops

Sorry He spoke.-Capt. Mtweed, a
Scotsman to the backbone, and, more
over, a distinguished officer in a dis
tinguished Highland regiment, had an
unbounded admiration for his country
men, and never lost an opportunity OF
extolling their virtues.
One evening at mess he was enter
taining several guests. and at the con-
clusion Of the meal, as he and his party
were leaving the room, he happened to
notice a magnificent specimen of pi-
per, clad in full Highland costume,
standing by the doorway.
Wishing to draw attention to the
mans splendid proportions, he stopped
and:

the Book of Books Is so full Of stories.
There is a reason for that. 1t tells Of

Reports submitted by Secretary
Daniel recommend improvements and
increased facilities in practically every
navy yard on the Atlantic coast. There
has been quite lot Of attention paid
to the matter of establishing an espe-
cially strong naval station on the Gulf
Of Mexico, because of the Panama ca
nal and Pensacola, Fla, Is recommend
ed as the best site. In the opinion of
investigating experts. government fa-
cilities for constructing naval vessels
are entirely inadequate. 1t is consider
ed that the governments future needs
call for the establishment Of at least
two stations. one on the Pacific and
one on the Atlantic, capable Of build
ing any kind of a ship. Additional dry
docks Of the largest dimensions are
recommended for Norfolk and 1t Is
recommended that there should be
some developments at Charleston as
would make that station available in
time of emergency for docking and re-
pairing any ships that might have oc-
casion to go there. 1t Is recommended
that Key West should be made repa
and supply station for torpedo craft.

several times to 10S degrees. Yet the
nights were always cool. Sometimes
they were so cold that the townspeople
found It necessary to close the doors
and windows and to build fires in the
stoves and fireplaces.
In the second place, the soil at Yuma
is covered with the short. crisp, curl
ing grass named after the buffalo, be-
cause 1t resembles the hair of his coat.
Like the buffalo, buffalo grass Is be-
coming extinct, but in and about Yuma
it still grows in profuse quantities. This
grass, curling close to the earth, the
scientist AYERS, reflects the heat more
strongly than any other natural medi-
um. DR.. Schildenkrantz says the dread
ed paving stones of the city streets
have only half the reflective power OF
this closely curling grass. A walk
about the prairies covered with 1t VIII
confirm this theory, for it filings back
the heat SO strongly that 1t causes the
face to become sun-burned even on a
cloudy day. The grass, by forming a
blanket covering the earth, prevents
the absorption Of the. heat by the
earth. The burning suns rays that
would otherwise be absorbed In the
ground are flung back by the grass
into the air, twice heating 1t, and so
creating the vacuum that is the pre-
paration for cyclone.
During his visit there in weather
which the oldest citizens pronounced
ordinary and moderate, he studied the
air with his telescope and distinctly
saw through that magnifying medium
the formation Of three tiny but unmis-
takably funnel-shaped clouds.
Yuma itself, DR.. Schildenkrantz says
is like a typhoid germ carrier, OF whom
we have examples occasionally IN a
community. While diffsuring germs OF
typhus these persons never suffer from
them, and while breeding and grading
tornadoes and cyclones, Yuma Is itself
peacefully immune from them. -
Yuma is situated in the middle OF a
wide prairie. 1t enjoys the cool breezes
that sweep downward through the can
yons of the Rockies. 1t Is vaunted by
it's 400 inhabitants, and justly boasted
a natural sanitarium. Asthmatic pa
tents. convalescents and neurasthenics
flock there for cure and find 1t; but
Yuma, like its human prototypes, has
faults, and its fostering of cyclones Is
the chief.-New York American.

THE GNAT OF DEATH.
An Insect of Central Africa That Has
Cost Thousands of Lives.

An Insect of Central Africa That Has
Cost Thousands of Lives.
Surgeon General Sir David Bruce,
head of the Sleeping Sickness commits
sion which was sent to Central Africa
nearly two years ago. has returned to
England with Lady Bruce. Sir David
win remain in England a few weeks
before returning to Nyasaland, where
the remainder Of the commission Is
still working. The work will not be
completed for another year.
The object of the commission Is to
study the relationship Of the African
fauna to the spread Of sleeping sick
ness in that continent. The work has
been carried on in q wild and remote
region In Angoniland, about fifty miles
from the shores Of Lake Nyasa, where
the members Of the commission lived
and worked in mosquito-proof huts.
Lady Bruce took her regular turn
with the others in laboratory work.
Every precaution was taken. and Sir
David Bruce was the only member OF
the party who suffered from fever. The
natives were regularly dosed with qui-
nine. Sir David Bruce finds that the
so called sleeping sickness In Nyasa-
land Is not the same as that OF Uganda
or the West Coast, although it belongs
to the same category.
It Is more rapid and even more fatal.
There has been no case OF recovery. II
Is now established beyond doubt that
the disease Is carried by glossina NOR
sitans, a fly which Is widely spread
over the whole Of Africa. Sir David
Bruce's work has been carried on in a
proclaimed district of Nyasaland on the
eastern shore Of the lake, extending fif-
ty miles from north to south and twen-
ty-flve miles from east to west.
Animals were shot early in the morn
ing and specimens Of the blood, while
perfectly fresh, were carried back by
motor bicycle to the laboratory for ex-
animation. Half the wild animals shot
in the area were found to be infected
with sleeping sickness in some form or
other, and in all probability the whole
Of them may be said to be affected.
From this it will be safe to infer
that the commissioners are Of opinion
that the game in these areas should be
regarded in the same light as mad
dogs, and destroyed al standing men
ace to natives and whites alike.
Sir David Bruce does not believe that
there is any danger Of the disease
spreading. He is Of opinion that 1t has
probably been in these areas from time
immemorial, and that it will never as
sumo the terrible proportions Of the
sleeping sickness Of the Congo or
Uganda.-London Chronicle.
