FAIRY STORIES TRUE
THEIR ORIGIN HAS BEEN TRACED
BY MODERN THINKERS.
Science Seems to Have at kast Justl-
fled Itself by Discovering What
All Little Children Knew
Long Ago.

Science has come to the rescue Of
the fairy story. The little folk"
which common sense has long since
relegated to nursery tales. have been
released by certain modern thinkers,
busted of and placed on earth again
though many hundred years back.
In the folk tales the fairies are al
ways represented as living In green
mounds. They pop up their heads
when disturbed by persons ~treading on
their houses. They live on familiar
terms with the people about them
when they treat them well and pun
ish them when they treat them i'll.
Alliances are formed between fairies
and men and the fairies even hire
themselves out as servants to the
men.
The fairies are remembered as a
tall and the women much shorter.
Both men and women commonly dress
In green, although the men in some
places are now and then referred to
as little red men" on account of the
cone-shaped red hats they wear.
So much for tradition. Now for
science.
Modern archaeology, declares Doc
tor Thorstenburg, has established be-
yond all reasonable doubt the prehis-
torfc existence in Europe Of one or
two non-Aryan races of pygmies, very
dark. very short. some with long skulls
surviving in the Welsh, some with
round skulls surviving in the Lapps.
Years ago ]. F. Campbell. the Brit
fish anthropologist, who has put him
self to considerable pains over the
fairy problems, made q s~ojourn among
the Lapps and found remarkably close
agreement between them and the de-
scription Of the fairies given by the
Scotch ~Highlanders.
The missionaries who were sent to
preach the Gospel among the Lapps
during the seventeenth and eight
zenith centuries all connected the
"slede' Tor "shee") with a certain wor-
ship practiced by the Lapps at that
time.
Since ages past the Lapps. as Mr..
Campbell learned, believed in some
mountains Or hills which they called
"salvo" there dwelt a race of men
much like their own, carrying on the
same occupations and owning the
same kind of animals as theirs. but
differing from them otherwise in hav-
ing reached a higher state of perfec-
ton. The "salvo" race were thought
to be a people of great wealth and
splendor. well versed in witchcraft
and In the use of magic drums. while
In comparison the Lapps considered
themselves to be but poor, miserable
creatures constantly In need of the
protection, instruction and aid of the
others.
Hence, probably the Nibelungs or
dwarfs or elves or gnomes or other
underground pygmies of fairy folklore.

oasometer Signs for AvIators.

MIR. w. J. Lugard. representing the
Tourist club of Holland. recently made
an interesting proposal at a meeting Of

Aviators experience much difficulty
in a~scertaining their whereabouts

Love One Another.

There Is a beautiful legend of st. John
the beloved, which relates that when
he was a feeble old man, too weak to
walk to the assemblies of the church,
he was borne there by his disciples;
and addressing the people as he spread
abroad his hands. repeated again and
again these words: Love one an
other"
When asked why he said ever the
same thing, he replied. Because there
is nothing else; attain that and you
have enough"
Yes, love is enough. 1t is measure
less. 1t is creative of all things high
and holy.

TO FIX TIME FOR VOTE ON TRADE
 COMMISSION BILL
Objections Greet Newlands' Plan to Clear Way for Other Trust Legis-
 lation to Be Disposed Of

Washington, July 2.-Another unsue- cessful effort was made by Senator New lands today to have the Senate fix a time to vote on the trade commission bill and clear the way for other trust legislation that must be disposed of before adjourn ment. Objections greeted the Nevada senator's proposal for vote tomorrow, and discussion later made 1t plain that debate would continue into next week.
 Senator Cummins today introduced five amendments to generally broaden the proposed trace commissions authority and to give the interstate commerce com mission more authority over railroad cor porations. He took up in detail objection raised by Senator Borah, who opposed the bill on the ground that while the anti trust laws at present were directed to- ward fostering competition, the trade commission measure, by making unfair competition" unlawful. was directed to limiting competition. This objection, he said, in no way was justified and he de- clared the measure was designed to aid and supplement the antitrust laws.
