UNDER CROSS AND CRESCENT
City of khartum, in the Sudan, Has
Characteristics Which Make 1t
Unique Metropolis.

Khartum offers, as no other city,
the contrast of two religions-that
of the mosque and Of the cathedral,
of the crescent and the cross, the
standards Of the prophet Of Mecca
and our Savior Jesus Christ. The
city has two calendars, dating one
from 622 A. D., and one from the
birth of our Savior. Outside of
Khartum, in the vast Sudan, Islam
still seems to be chiefly veneer,
and the negro blood carries with it a
characteristic jovial friendship and
responsiveness to kindness; but in
Khartum and Omdurman Islam is
stiffening and deepening its grip on
the people.
Gordon college and the primary
schools connected with it in the Su-
dan, although they are Mohamme-
dan schools and observe Mohamme-
dan holidays and teach the Koran
and Moslem ethics, have nevertheless
been great stimulus to education.
The children are eager to learn, and
statistics which [ have gathered
show great increase in the imports
of paper and printed matter. In
1914, for example, the total value of
books, mostly Moslem, imported into
the Sudan was $4,000. The follow
ing year this had risen to $4,000.
Only very small proportion of this
consists of Bibles for the British
and Foreign Bible society, or school
books for the mission schools. Nine
tenths of it is Moslem literature

ALL HE HID.

Lord Northcliffe, in one of his let
ters from the front, describes some
of the minor works of the great
army now in the field. One depart
ment cares for the property of the
dead soldiers. This is sent in large
bundles from the field, and each in
dividual parcel finally sent to its
proper destination. "I watched,"
says Lord Northcliffe, "the opening
of one such pathetic parcel during
the final checking. 1t contained a
few pence, pipe, a photo of wife
and BARN, a. trench ring made of
aluminium of an enemy fuse, small
diary, and pouch. 1t was all the

PIE LOVER MAKES PROTEST
After Detailing Grievance He Urges
Inquiry Into the Inflated Cost
of American Luxury.

While dealers and consumers are
haggling over an extra cent or two
for bread and milk, has any humani-
tartan cult considered what has hap
pened to pie? asks the New York
World. They used to cut pie into
four comfortable sections, each re-
failing for five cents. Then, with no
change in price, came six, and final
ly seven pieces, distressingly sharp
at one end and of fruit cake propor-
tions at the other. Now, in the fu-
rore over the high cost of living, we
have six sections once more at ten
cents each.
Here, then, is pie at 60 cents
which used to sell at 20 cents, and
the dealer boasting of his generous
portions. While the economists and
mathematicians are making mental
calculations as to the percentage of
appreciation involved in what to
many good Americans is the staff of
life, let us ask if anything in these
booming times, with the exception of
a very few war brides, has shown any
such rise as this, and what can be
the excuse for it?
We are always reluctant to add to
the agencies of government, but
what this town needs right away is
a state pie commission.

UNDERWOOD TARIFF
IS HOSTILE TO THE
FARMERS INTERESTS
Union Leader Asks Congress to
Get Back to the Soil
. With Protection
Would Raise PIow to the Level OF
1.-The Factory.

Henry n. Pope, president of the AS
sociation of State Farmers Union
Presidents, has issued statement in
pamphlet form to members of the union
pointing out determinations in the I'm
derwood tariff against the agricultural
interests favOring protection on all
farm products and demanding revi-
sion of the tariff so that the farmers
will not be compelled to sell in free
market and buy in protected one. In
discussing the subject the head of the
union said: "The effect of the Under
wood tariff acts to protect capital and
labor engaged in manufacturing and
to expose to world competition capital
and labor engaged in production. 1t
is perhaps the most antagonistic
expression congress ever made toward
the agricultural interests of this ma
ton, and had not the European war
arrested its operation, would have
wrought disaster to the farmers of the
country. This tariff gives a protec-
ton of approximately six billion dollars
per annum to capital and labor en-
gagged in manufacturing, but gives no
protection to the farms> When released
from war influences this tariff will
reduce the selling price of farm prod
ucts approximately a billion dollars
per annum. 1t brings capital and labor
employed on the farm in direct compe-
tition with free lands in primitive
countries and compels the farmer to
compete with wild men who live in
trees and caves and raise their chill
dren in nakedness and ignorance. The
only purpose and the only result of
taking agricultural products off the
protected and placing them on the free
list was to reduce the price. The act
vas therefore deliberately unfriendly
to the farmers of the nation. The next
session of congress should revise the
tariff and get back to the soil with
protection. Giving to the plow the
same friendly consideration that is
now given to the factory.

Of the Best That Mankind Aas
to Recollect.

Cultivate your smiles increasingly,
girls. This does not mean that you
must sit around subway trains and
street cars wearing an insipid grin.
Not at all! 1t does not even mean
that you must actually smile in the
literal sense of the word. But your
expression can be smiling without
your lips being parted at all. II you
are thinking about pleasant occur.
rences your mouth will turn up at the
corners and your eyes will sparkle.
quite naturally and without any ef-
fort.
This will keep your face attractive
and youthful, even when you have
passed the borders of youth itself. II
you wish to retain your beauty as long
as possible. don't form the habit of let
ting your lips drop and all your face
muscles sag downward when your face
is in repose.
Just stand before the mirror and
pull your lips down to get the effect.
Draw your mouth down and scowl q
bit and you will see just how ugly
those dropping lines can make you
look. Then smile, not artifically but
naturally, just little around the lips,
but great deal in the eyes and you
will see how pretty you can appear.
II every woman realized how much
harm she is doing to herself when she
sits in the street cars and subways
with her face muscles all relaxed and
dropping she would try the smile cure
for ugly lines. The smile can bring
about magical results in lifting a girl
from the ranks of plainness to the
heights Of actual beauty.-Pittsburgh

crlnnean War.

Russian encroachment upon Turkey
was the direct cause of the Crimean
war. For many years previous to 1853,
Russia had cast covetous eye upon
Constantinople and the sultan's pos
sessions and had contrived in various
treaties to lay the foundation of a
claim to something like protectorate
over the Christians of the Greek
church in Turkey amounting to three
fourths of the sultan's subjects in Eu-
rope. As early as 1874 Emperor Mich
olas had proposed to divide with
Britain the inheritance of the "Sick
Man." as he called Turkey, and in
1853 he began to urge HIS claims in a
form which Turkey could not accept
without ceasing to remain an indie.
pendent state. The other great pow
ers interviewed as mediators, but In
vain, and meantime a Russian army
took possession of Moldoyia and Wal.
lacia. After nearly year of fruitless
diplomacy, negotiations were broken
of, and Britain and France agreed to
support Turkey by armed interveu-
ton. War was proclaimed against
Russia on March %, 1854. The war
thus undertaken lasted two years.
