We have always thought that Bro.
Gustavus Loevinger was the only one
who made the distinction between
Jews and Judaists. But to our great
surprise there are others who are do
ing it, too. We, therefore, serve no
tice that any one, except our honored
associate editor, who uses the word
Judaist again will be called by us some
harsh names.

however, been granted special per-

enforced more vigorously than ever.
In the occupied portion of Poland

SENSE OF DIRECTION.
How Do Birds Know Where They
Are?

Prof. K. S. Lashley has completed
an investigation of the sense of dl-
rection in birds. This is called the
problem of "orientation." To "ori-
ent' means in straight English to
know where you are.
DR.. Ashley used the wild birds of
the Florida keys, known as noddy
and sooty terms, in experiments. In
their recognition of their nests, it
was found that their eyes as we'll as
their muscles are concerned, says the
Popular Science Monthly for Janu-
airy. The birds showed no evidence
of any special sense of locality such
as "magnetic sense or a second
sight, Birds are no more mind
readers" than men are.
Nor do they have any ability to re-
trace their paths of flight by men,
ory. They recognize their nests and
their own young by muscle habits
and eyesight.

THOSE GREENVILLE ROADS.
Philadelphia Newspaper Points PENN
syIvania to the South.

Greenville county, South Carolina
stronglv resembles Franklin county,
this State, in area and populatlon'
It's territorial extent, 745 square
miles. is almost exactly that OF
FRANKLIN, ISL, and it's population
not far from $4,000, is close to the
5e775 inhabitants credited to the
Pennsylvania county by the last cen
sus. Probably it is not so hilly as
Franklin, but that is immaterlal.
The interesting point about this
south Carolina county is that 1t IS
setting an example in road building
to which not only Pennsylvania, out
the whole country, might well give
heed. Presumably it is not So
wealthy a. district as that tributary
to Chambersburg, but with line
spirit of enterprise it has issued ST.
non 000 in bonds for the purpose or
building good highways. Already
about a third of that amount mas
been spent with results that are re-
ported as being most satisfactory IN
increasing farm values and st1mulat-
ing improvements. Two main types
of road are constructed, concrete anu
top-soil. The concrete roads are
those which constitute the immediate
approaches to the city of GreenVllie'
the county seat. They extend out
into the country in every direction
for about six miles. Thence the top
SOL road, one surfaced with the gray
earth which is found almost every
where in that part of the State, is to
he used throughout the county on
the main highways. Properly 10
Gated and drained, it is claimed that
this type of road improves with use
and can be repaired more economic
ally than any other type.
An interesting fact about TINS
work is that ,Greenville county had
no trouble in finding buyers for its
$1,000, 900 bond issue. Thirty years
ago it is described as having been
poyerty-stricken, illiterate region
where schools were few and crimes OF
all kinds fourished. Then cotton
mills were introduced and the pro-
gressive spirit aroused which led
finally to the demand for good roads.
There seems to be lesson here
for some of our Pennsylvania coun'
ties. They have plenty of money
but they too often tolerate vile roads,
frequently obstructed by toll gates.
Probably, many of their people re-
gard South Carolina as an unpro-
gressive State. Greenville county
should show them that they can
learn much from district they
never heard of before.-Philadelphia

Mr.. Wilson's Latest Innovation.

The country has become so used
to President Wilson's delightful way
of discarding wornout precedents
that his newest innovation almost
escaped comment. When, at the be-
ginning of his Administrations he re-
turned to the simple, democratic GUS
tom of the fathers and appeared be-
fore congress to deliver his first mes
sage in person, the people talked
about it for days and days. Now
that he has unostentatiously cut the
junk out of the presidents annual
message on the state of the union,
we hardly realize what remarkable
thing he has done.
The conventional message was
cluttered up with mass of detail in
formation that obscured it's impor-
tant recommendations. President
Wilson very wisely contents himself
with giving a concise, comprehensive
outline of the important things to be
done. He notifies his auditors that
all detail information necessary to
their work will be supplied them la
ter in supplementary reports prepared
by the proper officials. The result
is a clear, short statement, over
which nobody mods and which every
body grasps A buslness-like thing
is done in a business-like way
1t is only the man certain of him.

do who dares innovations. Prece-
