The story of the cause Of Moses
slowness Of speech is given in the
Talmud and runs as follows: Pha-
raoh wac one day sitting on his
throne with Moses on his lap when
the child took off the kings crown
and put it on his own head. The
wise men" tried to persuade the
king that this was treason, for which
the child ought to be pat to death,
but Jethro replied: at is the act
Of q child who knows no better.
Let two plates be set before him,
one containing gold and the other
redhot Goals, and you will find he
will prefer the latter to the for
mer." The experiment being made,
the child snatched up one Of the
live Goals, put it into its mouth
and burned its tongue so severely
that it was ever after "heavy and
slow Of speech"

BOOTBLACKS OF ATHENS.
They Are Night School Students and Q
Privileged Class.

They Are Night School Students and Q
Privileged Class.
The bootblack is a parsonage of
some Importance in the Greek cap
ital. Mrs. r. c. Bosanquet in "Days
In Attica' writes:
II have often been amazed at the
number of bootblacks ~thronging all
the public squares. 1t is true that
the modern Athenians seem to re-
joice in having their boots polished
at all odd minutes, but even so l
wondered what could be the special
attraction that drew so large a pro-
portion of Youngsters to this not
very remunerative trade. After a
time / learned that this is the out
ward sign of a great educational
movement.
From all parts of Greece boys
with any special aptitude for learn
ing are drafted to Athens from the
provinces and are given a free edu-
cation in large night schools started
for the purpose. In the daytime
they earn their living and learn the
practical wisdom Of their trade,
which is generally that of bootblack
and errand boy. In the evening
they 60 to school, and an ambitious
boy pushes himself forward with no
barrier between himself and the
goal of his ambition-the church,
the bar, or parliament.
even in the school life they are
a privileged class. It is always sup
posed that it is their political weight
which prevents any attempt on the
part of the municipality to provide
crossings or the proverbially muddy
streets. Any private enterprise in
this direction would at once be rude
ly crushed by the united bootblacks.
The boys are all known as loustri,
literally Sinners though not every
loustro follows the trade of a boot
black.
"The loustro is an institution all
over the city. He is the universal
errand boy, the trustworthy mes
senger and the general domestic as
sistant in cases Of emergency. He
is ready to dig your garden, to
transport your furniture, to wash
your carriage, or run for a doctor.
More than once I have see q well
dressed woman call q loustro to
carry her baby, and in each case
the burden seemed satisfied with its
nurse"

crlain Of Lime.

The use Of lime a. binding ma
terial for mortar originated in the
remote past. One suggestion ID that
some savages when using limestone
rocks to confine their fire noticed
that the stones were changed by the
action Of the heat. A passing show
er may have slaked the lime to a
paste, and they discovered that the
paste was smooth and sticky and
was q better material than clay to fill
the crevices in their crude dwell
irss From this discovery it was
but . step to add sand to the paste
IN order TO produce Q mortar.

And dry the mourner's eyes.

Charles w. Elliott
Endorses Rockefeller
Gift To Uniuersitie
(By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-The Indus
trial Relations commission continued
its Investigations today, President
Emeritus Charles w. Elliott, of Har-
ward, being among those called to the
stand. His testimony was interesting
throughout, and considered by men,
bers of the commission as having an
important bearing upon the reIat1ons
existing between capital and labor.
President Elliott was on the stand
several hours, his examination being
somewhat lengthy and covering wide
range of subject matter. He testified
concerning his connection with educa-
tional institutions receiving partial
support from the Rockefeller Founda-
tion and samilar funds, and admitted
such donations had on occasion influ-
enced the policies of such institutions.
The donation of funds to college,
President Elliott testified, is not un-
usual, and SO far as he recalled no
donation had ever been proffered arl
to his knowledge, with a
condition attached. Suggestions as to
proper polices have accompanied be-
quests to different institutions, and an
occasional donations is made for spe-
cifc purposes, he said. Wherever do
nations have influenced the policies of
educational institutions, President Ell
liot stated, such influence had been for
good, and in no instance did he recall
private interests being considered in
policies.

perintendent of banks, was posted this
morning on the doors of the Jefferson
County Savings bank, one Of the oldest
and most active state banks in Ala
bama, stating that he is in charge of
its affairs. The announcement of the
suspension was received with surprise
and regret throughout the city, the
failure being the first of consequence
in the history of Birmingham.

night between Supt. Walker, officers
of the stranded institution and re-
presentatives of other Birmingham
banks, at the conclusion of which it
was decided the state banking board
should take charge of the Jefferson
county bank, owing to certain rumorS

surance was given today that deposit
ors and creditors of the bank will be
paid in full.
According to report made to the
state banking department on Decem-

Bank held deposits exceeding $780,
900, and assets considerably more than
this sum. The bank occupied the low
er floor of recently constructed 25-
story office structure, which is listed
among the assets. 1t is intimated by
officers of the bank today that a re-
organization of the institution will be
effected at an early date.

TURKS RENEW
OFFENSIVE IN
EASTERN THEATRE
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Jan. 29.--With a renewal
of offensive operations by the Turkish
army in the Caucasus region, renewed
Austro-German activity in Galicia and
the Carpathians the dominate center of
military operations continued in the
east today. The Teuton allies are hur-
rying large bodies Of troops toward the
Rumanian frontier sudden dash
through lower Carpathian passes
might be made upon that country, in
the event Rumanian mobilization is
begun.
Recent fighting in Carpathian passes
now held by Russian forces has been
without decisive results, and it is be-
lieved here the struggle in the east is
about to enter upon its most critical
stage Engagements in that area have
been particularly severe since the
Russian campaign against Bukowina
opened and a desperate effort is yet
being made by the Austro-German ar
mics to drive the Muscovites from
Austrian soil.
The German campaign in the west
is also believed to have reached a cul-
minating point where another such vic
tory as crowned the Allied arms at the
Marne would speedily bring the fight
ing to a close. Recent German attacks
along the western front point to
heavy losses being sustained without
material gains being effected. Accord
ing to Paris reports, the German tao
tics indicate waning strength upon
the part of the Germans, whose cam
paign against Paris is now admitted
ly complete failure.

IMPROVING THE

OTHER TREES AND SHRUBS ARE
BEING PLANTED THERE.

Postmaster D. F. Davenport, with an
eye to the artistic and beautiful in
nature, is making valuable additions
to the floral wealth of the pretty park
about the postoflce building, Several
of the trees and shrubs planted a year
ago under direction of the department
did not survive, and many of these are
being replaced with plants of native
growth and which will prove more
satisfactory In every respect. Several
Americus ladies have contributed
plants for the park, and the addition Of
native trees will also add vastly to its
general attractiveness.
