BERGEN OPP ZOOM, Holland, Nov.
14.-Conditions among the Belgian ref
ugees crowded into this little city are
typical of the situation in all Dutch
towns near the Belgian border. With a
population of 10000 ordinarily, Bergen
OPP Zoom now shelters about 10000 per-
sons. Most of the homes have given
over rooms to refugees. Barns, ware
houses, churches and other public
buildings have been turned into dorm
tories and eating houses.
During the siege of Antwerp ref
gees were sent here by the train load.
Most of them were penniless, for the
Belgians who had money went to Lon
don or some of the large Dutch cities.
The burden of feeding the refugees
has fallen heavily upon the Dutch gov
eminent and the various municipalities
which are doing their best to make the

FRENCH PRIEST REAL
HERO OF BATTLE
(By Associated Press.)

VERNEUIL, Nov. Att matters
not" cried the old Able crossing him
self before the gaping hole in the front
of the parish church at Verneuil. God
is eternal, and by His grace we shall
SURVIVED"
The six-inch shell that went through
the hole had carried the door with it
and blown out part of the side wall. A
smaller hole in the clock tower mark
ed where. three-inch projectile had
cut through, and the dial lay shatter-
ed at Able Schmidt's feet. Another
shot had made a great opening in the
roof and the shell exploding inside had
demolished the altar and the reliquary
lay buried beneath a heap of stone,
mortar and splinters. But the four
walls remained erect and the steeple
seemed to hold it's pointed head up
with the same dignified fortitude with
which the venerable Able braved the
iron hand of the destroyer.
Five days before the Germans had
made short forced halt around Yer
neuil, and when they passed through
it was to seek shelter for a great num-
Der of victims of the French artillery
which had halted in it's retreat to check
the pursuiers. The vicar of the par
ish was among the 10000 priests with
the French army, whose line already
extended far to the south. Most of the
inhabitants of the parish had fed or
sought refuge, and the Able Schmidt
was nearly alone to aid the German
surgeons and nurses to take care of
these grievously torn soldiers, most
of whom lay upon bundles of straw in
the church itself. For three days,
night and day, he cared for the enc
my's wounded with the same devotion
as if they were of his own country.
Then, in the frantic hurry Of the re-
treat before the Allies he endeavored,
as far as possible, to ease the pain
caused by their transport into all sorts
of improvised ambulances.
The last of the wounded had scarcely
quit the town, when the booming of
cannon was heard from two directions
almost simultaneously, and from the
German lines the shells began to fall
into the little village. When the
French came through the church was
wrecked and no longer possible shell
ter for the French wounded.
The following days was Sunday, and
in the morning Able Schmidt, with the
aid of few parishioners, succeeded in
hanging the bell from beam saved
from the church, dug out the reliquary
from under the debris, erected an al
tar in the street and said mass be-
fore the largest congregation that had
gathered in his parish in many years.
This is only one of many Incidents.

GEORGIA AND TECH READY
FOR ANNUAL GR|D|RON SCRAP

Probably the greatest mishap to the
team came yesterday afternoon, when
actively showing his men how to
tackle successfully, Coach Cunning
ham was painfully injured by having
three ribs broken This will, of course,
leave most of the work planned in the
hands of the assistant coach and the
team. But we believe it will only
make them grittier than ever. There
is an old saying that "Any old dog
can fight when he's cornered." Well,
it certainly looks like Georgia is cor
nered, so you may expect a royal
battle Saturday, rivaling that of the
recent Aisne. And when Georgia
fights she usually gets results.
Open Play
The game with Tech will probably
be along the same lines as the other
games this season. In other words,
open playing, the new style football,
will be used extensively. Both for
ward and lateral passes, with one or
two field goals will no doubt be the
order of the game. The new foot
BALI has proved very successful with
Georgia this year, under the quick
thinking quick acting guidance Of
Captain Dave" Paddock. And in the
field goal line you may expect to hear
from Powell on Grant Field, as
"Billy's" toe never misses, even
though he is in a hurry, and hard
pressed.
Watch out for Georgia today
for she will bear the heavy part of
the score, unless all her linemen are
carried to the hospital.
The lineup for Georgia is as for
lows:
Henderson, center; Conyers and
Grmany, guards; Mcconnell and Cir
rard, tackles; Thompson and Logan,
ends; Hitchcock and Powell, halves;
Paddock, quarterback; Thrast, full
back.

ATHENS, Ca, Nov. 14.-"Watch
Georgia beat Tech" is the slogan on
the buttons that every Georgia man
is now wearing. And they mean it,
too, both the team and the student
body. The dope may be against us,
but dope has been upset many times
before, and may be today.
Down on Sanford field where the
Red and Blacks met defeat last week,
secret practice has been held every
day. Our coach who saw the Tech
Auburn game, is teaching the team
a proper defensive, and also a new
offensive, as Techs representative saw
everything that was played Saturday.
Although number of injuries have
seriously crdippled the team, the sub
stitutes are rapidly rounding into
great form. Peacock, whose shoulder
was injured in the Clemson game.
will probably be out; Broyles, who
has been badly hurt, is in Atlanta,
where he is receiving medical atten-
ton; Logan, who is hitting it strong
for All-Southern end, had two fingers
broken in Thursdays scrimmage, the
hardest of the year, but will probably
be counted on.

WEAVING THE TURKISH RUG
Monotonous and Painful Task at
Which Women and Girls
Are Employed.

Carpet weaving is the chief mechan-
recognized business of at least three
of the seven cities-Smyrna, Thyatira
and Philadelphia Imagine a large,
bare room; in front Of us is a great
frame, perhaps 20 feet in width; in
front of the frame are seated half a
dozen women and girls, whose deft fin
gers fly like lightning as they break
OFF two or three inches of wool from
punches of different colors that hang
over their heads
With incredible activity they knot
this little piece of yarn to one of the
threads of the web, choosing with mar
veious exactness the right shade to
match the pattern that is before them.
So rapidly do their fingers move that
one can scarcely follow them, as with
all the skill and exact precision of a
practiced pianoplayer they break off
and tie the little piece of yarn, reach
for another of different color, break
1t off and knot 1t, keeping up this ex-
acting task for hours at time, until
one aches in sympathy with the tired
hands that are flying in and out in
front of the great frame
After a little of the wool has been
knotted to the web it is combed out
and cut even with the large shears
and then pounded down with a pecu-
liar shaped hammer; and yet the most
that a skillful woman can weave in a
long days work is only about ten
inches of carpet two feet wide

1t takes healthy, welEfed flock to
produce eggs. Fowls must not be al
lowed to become too fat, as but few
eggs will be laid by hens in such con-
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat, it is best to make them work for
most of their feed by scratching in
the litter, of which there should be
about four inches on the floor. This
litter can be of straw, leaves or chat.
and should always be kept dry.

one composed of corn, wheat and
oats, equal parts by measure. 1t is
advisable to use homegrown grains
whenever possible. In sections where
corn and oats do not thrive, other
grains can be used to good advantage.
for example, a mixture of equal parts
by measure of kaf1r corn, oats and
barley will produce good results.

Classified Lands for Agricultural Use.
One of the largest tasks of the
forestry service during the past year
has been the classification of lands
within the national forests in respect
to their highest future use. This work
was undertaken during 1913 on a more
comprehensive scale than ever before,
because there was specific appro-
priation for the purpose. Large areas
are being classified where the amount
of land chiefly valuable for agricul-
ture warrants its being taken out of
the forests, and it also takes care of
areas on which detailed classification
will disclose small areas suitable for
agricultural development within the
forests. The work is being carried
on with the assistance of the bureau
of soils and the bureau of plant in
dustry, department of agriculture.
One result of this work was the
elimination of 100000 acres from the
Nebraska national forest, $4,000 acres
from the Rainier, in Washington, and
413,770 acres from the Deschutes and
Paulina, in Oregon. About 100000
acres in small isolated tracts were
listed for settlement during the year
The areas now being examined for
classification have total area of
about 100000 acres.

PRINCESS SHOT BY A MOTH
Accused Husband Saved by Remarka-
Bile Evidence introduced in
italian Court.

There seems to be no good reason
for doubling the story that set free a
Neapolitan prince accused of murder.
1t was the locally notorious case Of
the Princess Caravella, at Naples, in
Italy. After giving dinner party she
proceeded to her room to snatch few
minutes of rest in order to refresh her
self for dance.
She was discovered lying dead on
her bed, with pistol wound in her
heart. Her husband, Prince Caravella,
had been noted for his jealous dispo-
sition; and, as it was certain that no
stranger could possibly have been in
the princess room, suspicion pointed
to him and he was arrested. The pis-
toll was found lying near the murdered
woman, which in itself was favorable
to the prince, for no murderer, unless
he courted detection, would thus leave
the weapon to be discovered. In spite
of this, it was probable that things
would have gone hard with the ac-
cused but for the shrewdnesss of a
Naples police officer. This man care
fully examined the bedchamber and,
lying on the floor by the bedside, he
found one of those large moths that
abound in Italy. A lighted candle had
stood on a table by the bed, and the
moths wings bore evident marks OF
having been badly singed against the
flame.
What was more important still, some
of the powdery dust from the moths
wings was found on the trigger of the
pistol, and the pistol had lain in such
a position that it covered the princess
heart 1t was clear, argued this astute
detective, that the moth had burned its
wings and had fallen on the table
where, writhing in agonies, its wings
had struck the trigger of the pistol,
and the pistol had been thus fired. 1t
was noted that the trigger worked with
exceptional ease.
1t should be remarked that these
italian moths are larger than any with
which we are familiar in Canada. On
this evidence the prince was acquit-
ted

The selection of stock is a matter
of considerable Importance, as a great
deal of ones success or failure with
poultry depends upon the individual
specimens used to breed from. Care
should be taken to select the early
maturing, fast-growing pullets. Hens
will not, as a rule, lay until they are
we'll matured; consequently it can be
readily seen that the slow-growing
breeds will not begin to lay as soon
as the former. A good index to a
hens ability to pay a profit over the
cost of feed and labor is her ability
to be continually on the move. 1t is
advisable to keep but one breed of
