Ancestral Language.

Y
Prof. Garner is again in Africa en-
gagged in effort to understand monkey y
language, the interesting point being
if the monkey people were the ances-
tors of the human element there must
be some language that started the
power of speech enjoyed by mankind
The professor has been working along
this line for twenty-five years. and
keeps at il in the belief that some day
he will be able to converse with our
ancestors in their own tongue. Thus
far. however. he has not gained a great
deal. and yet enough to inspire him to
further effort. Here are some common
words that he has discovered, the
meaning of which he obtained from
what they did when they chartered.
Qhui-Want.
Our'h-Where are you?
Khi-in-Look out.
u-nh-Here.
Xii -hou-Retreat.
-h-Hark. What?
1t will be deeply important to find out
still more, so that we may be able to
converse with our ancestors and dis
cover what their primitive ideas were
and how they stood on the subject of
politics, theology, reform, law. art, etc.
which occupy so large a field of con-
troyersy these days. We are quite sure
they will be able to shed much light
upon these matters. At least. they will
certainly broaden the scope of pre-
cedent.

Hot Fight for Senatorship.

Predictions are already being made
that the fight for the United States
senatorship between DIR. France and
Representative Lewis will be the hot
test seen in the state in years, and
there are those who assert that the vote
will be close. At the present time no
fair estimate of the result may be
made, as much will depend on the plat
form to be adopted and the candidate to
be named at Chicago. To start with,
Lewis will have the solid labor vote be-
hind him. this being demonstrated by
the vote he received in the working
sections of the city in the primary.
France. however, is very strong with
that element in Maryland politics
known as'the independents. and the in
dependents have been known to settle
elections on numerous occasions in this
state. Both candidates will begin ac-
tive campaigning after the state con-
vebtions which will be held the coming
week

REFUGEES RETURNING TO
THEIR FORMER HOMES
Serbian Farms Are Now Being Cul-
tivated-Women Are Doing
Their Part.

Correspondence of the Associa ted Press.
NISH. Serbia, April 12.-Great num-
bers of Serbians who fed before the
advancing armies of the central pow
ers last fall and winter are returning
to their former homes. Most of the
returning fugitives come from dis
tricts along the Montenegrin and AL
banian frontiers. over which they
found it impossible to accompany the
retreating army. and most of them.
also, are of the urban class. as the
rural Serbian population for the most
part remained at home
Several carloads of the returning
Serbs pass northward every day. large
ly destined for Belgrade. and they
seem cheerful enough at the prospect
of getting back to their old homes
Owing to the lack of rolling stock
they are obliged to travel in freight
cars, but with the warmer weather
the discomfort of this is mitigated
So far comparatively few young men
have returned. The armies of occupa-
tion are doing what they can to assist
in the repatriation.
The Serbian farms, which have been
badly neglected since the outbreak OF
the war. are now being cultivated
The Germans and Austro- -Hungarians
have brought numbers of steam plows
into the country, and the soldiers are
everywhere at work. plowing and

Liquor Issue Prominent.

The liquor question is going to cut a
big figure this year, despite the fact
that there is a presidential election on
the card The prohibition referendum
passed by the legislature will be voted
on at the same time that ballots are
cast for the presidency. 1t is this sit
uation which is causing the vets much
concern in Baltimore. At the time the
bill was passed by the Legislature 1t
was deemed a certainey that Baltimore
would go wet in November. That sit
uation has changed in the past few
weeks. and the politicians and those
opposed to prohibition now admit
there is a strong fight ahead if Balti-
more is to be kept out of the prohibi-
tion column. This statement may sur
prise those not conversant with condi-
tions here, but it is a condition that
exists today, nevertheless.
The prohibition forces are preparing
to smoke out" the candidates for the
senatorship and for the House of Rep
resentatives. 1t is proposed to get from
each candidate an expression as to his
stand on the prohibition referendum.

use the information so obtained in the

Sanitation Campaign in Baltimore

Baltimore is to have a sanitary cam
paign. This was decided upon by the
mayor following a conference held with
Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the
United States public health service. The
campaign will be directed against rats,
flies. mosquitoes and all other spread
ers of disease. Every man. woman and
child in the city. every civic organiza-
ton and all other agencies that are
able to help will be asked to cooper
ate. At an early date the mayor will
call a conference of representatives of
the industrial insurance companies
and others interested in the sanitary
movement and plans will be formulat-
ed for systematic crusade against all
things insanitary.
There are 100000 industrial policy
holders in the city, and the agents who
collect premiums weekly will be given
instructions to talk health conditions
at the homes visited, and to distribute
circulars which the city proposes to
issue. The aid of the schools will be
invoked in the crusade. and it is ex-
pected that expert sanitarians will visit
each public school in the city at least
once a week and instruct the children
and teachers how to help exterminate
diseas breeders.

Much Land Remains Fallow.

Notwithstanding their efforts. much
land remains fallow. Some of this
has been so long uncultivated that a
vigorous stand of scrub oak has con-
quered it.
The Serbian women are doing their
part in agricultural work. The mill
tary commanders have effected re-
distribution of the country's live stock
by acquisitions in those parts not affect
ed by the war. and most of the house
holds again have a COW. some pigs and
chickens. Milk and eggs can be bought
everywhere. At Nish milk costs about
10 cents a liter and eggs 18 cents a
dozen. Meat is scarce. but bread may
be obtained in any quantity and with
out bread cards. The women and chill
dren look well fed, but most of them
are poorly dressed.
Several women with whom the AS
sociated Press correspondent talk ed
said that they were glad the war had
passed beyond Serbias borders. They
wanted to know when their men would
return. None had any news of them

Troops Compel Sanitation.

year ago Serbia was in the
clutches of terrible epidemic OF
typhus, typhoid fever and other dis
eases. These, it is asserted, have
been completely wiped out. The occu-
patton troops compel the population
to obey the sanitary rules established
by the military authorities with the
result that Serbian villages have never
been so clean. The mud of decades
has been carted away and the streets
have been covered with gravel and
crushed rock. Sanitation in the home
is effected through thorough inspec-
ton.
Civil government has already beer
esta blished in the ro-Hungariar
and Bulgarian spheres in Serbia and
the Bulgarian territory in Macedonia
but the districts held by the Germans
are still under military rule. because
IT is said, no permanent occupation OF
the district is contemplated Railwa,
trafflc and postal service are in the
hands of the military authorities. bu,
the Serbian population is permitted tc
use them. Schools and churches have
been reopened in many parts of the
