HOW TO PRESERVE RECORDS?
Question That Is of Importance in Its
Influence on Civilization of
the Future.

How to preserve records is a concern
of a scholarly article in the Scientific
Monthly for December, in which Prof.
G. E. Vail, writing of "Our Duty to the
Future" considers the perishability OF
human documents that disappear amid
earthquakes, volcano eruptions, del
ugeS and the quieter action of the ele-
ments. Paper falls apart, stone crum-
bles, glass wears away, iron is short
lived, clay is easily shattered; no
ideally resistant material is in use.
Past civilizations are little known to
US because of the instability of their
records. Our duty clearly is to leave
records of the greatest possible per-
manency if the medium can be found
What shall be devised to transmit
historical data, our records phono-
graphic and cinematic, our artistic and
literary achievements?
The best record of the present age
is to be found in the leviathan ships
in the Atlantic bottom and in the war
debris soaring and ridging the CONT
nent like the burrowing of marine in
sect. 1t proclaims the age of man
that knew not his brother. The story
is written large some hundreds OF
feet above the fossil trilobites which
f1ourished fifty millions of years ago
and exist now in no material element
but simply as forms filled in with lateR

CUMMINS BLOCKED
Iowa Senator's Efforts to Dis
cuss the Presidents Peace
Speech Headed Off.
RESOLUTION is SIOETRACKED
Upper House of Congress Warned by
lowan That Measure Will Be
Called UP Again..

Washington, Jan. 25.-Determined
opposition was revealed by admins
tration leaders in the senate today to
Senator Cummins' proposal to set
aside next week for free discussion of
President Wilson's world peace ad-
dress. Led by Senator Stone, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, the Democrats stood against the
Cummins resolution, maintaining that
with the press of legislative business,
such a discussion at this time would
make necessary an extra session of
congress.
For nearly two hours the resolution
was debated. Views on world peace
set forth in the Presidents address
were alluded to only incidentally. At
the outset, Senator Stoae moved that
the resolution be referred to the for
ign relations committee; later Senator
Norris moved to amend the motion
by adding instructions that the COM
mittee make report within ten days.
Finally the resolution went to the SEN
ate calendar without action, and it
will require affirmative action before
it can be placed before the senate for
a vote.
To Press the Matter.
Senator CumminS insisted tonight
on pressing the matter at every OPP
portunity and as a motion to take it
up is debatable, it can precipitate dis
cussion during the first hour of the
senate's session every day unless par
Hamentary expedient are adopted to
prevent.
In urging his resolution. Senator
Cummins declared that the Presidents
proposals, right or wrong, were the
most important ever made by a chief
executive of the United States and
that the senate owned a duty to the
country to discuss them and to advise
the President in the matter
IF there ever was a time he said
when duty commanded that we give
to the world and the country the hon
est convictions of the senate upon pro-
posals that affect the integrity of the
nation, the peace of the world and
the happiness of mankind-it is now
Stone BaIks.
Senator Stone insisted that any dis
cussion in the senate was bound to
be two-sided and not of character
to enlighten the President or guide
his footsteps. He also declared there
was scarcely time left for disposing
of pressing legislation before March 4,
and suggested that discussion be left
to another time.

BANDITS ROUTED BY WOMAN
kanopoIis Bankers Wife Exchanged
Shot for Shot With Bank Rob-
bers-Wounded in Arm.

A woman, although wounded, stood
on the firing line at Kanopolis recent
~, engaged in a revolver duel with
1lve bandits who had robbed the Ex-
change State Bank of this town, and,
with citizens allied behind her, fought
the robbers, in running chase until
the men jumped into a high powered
motor car and sped north out of town.
Ihe heroine was Mrs James Cowie,
wife of James Cowie, president of the
bank, and mother of James Cowie, Jr.,
assistant cashier
The robbers came into Kanopolis in
their motor car. They cut off all tele-
phone connections and then broke into
Union Pacific Toulouse and took a
pick AK. They left their motor car
standing in an alley behind the bank.
Then they broke into the back door
of the building and started working
on the vault
Tne robbers fired two shots of nitro
glycerin, one forcing an entrance to
the vault and the other blowing open
the door of the safe. They took 81, 500
in cash and 81 900 in stamps and start
ed to escape.
The explosion shattered the plate
glass front of the bank, and its noise
awakened James Cowie, president of
the bank, Mrs. Cowie and Cowie's two
sons, Richard Cowie and James
Cowie, Jr., assistant. cashier The
Cowie family live only block away
Dressing hurriedly, the family ran
to the bank, where the members saw
the bandits guarding the doors and
going through the drawers within the
vault. The robbers opened fire, and
the elder Cowie and his son returned
it.
Mrs. Cowie, revolver in hand, forced
her way to the front of the bank and
returned shot for shot with the ban
dts. She was wounded in the arm,
but kept on firing. The robbers fled
to their motor, leaped into it and raced
north. A posse followed, Mrs. Cowie
being among the foremost members
and not minding the wound she suf-
fered. The robbers escaped, however.
