Some Things to Think Upon.
An Outrageous Insult

James X. yardaman has always been known as one
Of the most profane and vulgar ever in public life IN
Mississippi but his indccency reached the limit when ne
said in a speech at Amory:
"Some of the men opposing me would
traffic III the virtue Of their own homes
to encompass my defeat.
Only vile mouth foul mind and an impure heart
could have given expression indecent as that
malicious, contemplate SANDER upon the splendid man
hood and pure womanhood of the State of Mississippi
Great numbers Of the nobest, purest and most
honorable in the state opposed to this man arda
mannany of them until recently his staunch supporters
land these sell the virtue of their women to
defeat him?"
His expression was a generality' Some men
would (which may any man would.
You who have thought OF voting for Nardaman
look this thing right square in the face this way Varda
man opposing him would sell the virtue OF
their wives and daughters defeat him, does he mean
also that some men would sell the virtue Of their women
to keep him in office?

Poetry Frcm France.

One of the musicians connected
with the Twelfth Field Artillery band
which was stationed at ST. Asaph last
wear but is now somewhere over
there in France, has written the fol,
lowing verses which were sent to Ths
Gazette by George Scott, who IS 9
member of the band and whose home
is in Alexandria:
We Don't Know Where We're Gong
But We're On Our Way.
We don't know where we're going,
But we're on cur WY;
We're out to make a showing
For the Telft: F. A.
We're going to get good job
Some fine day,
It's a dam long time coming,
But it's on its way.
When we hit this country
We were booked to play in Nice,
Everything was sunny
Two big rooms apiece;
Now we're in -, and its safe to say.
We are just where we are going
And here to stay.
Our job is tending horses,
And plodding thru the mud,
Cleaning ho6f and muddy legs
And dishing out the spuds;
CHIEF Montin said he's help us,
He'd do it if he could,
The old top sergeant said he'd get US,
And by gee, he's making good.
Sometimes we dig bitches,
Sometimes we carry stones,
Making roads may be alright,
But it's hell on your old bones;
So when the job is over
You'll hear the old top sergeant say,
We're going to build another
Just across the way.
On Sunday we play concert
At half-past five,
1t surely is beyond us
How the listeners survive;
They say the music IS .. X,
But l guess nit;
You can't produce good music
If you handle q grooming kit.
Then pecker Up and carry on,
And do your little bit,
We're here TO get the Kaiser,
And show the boys we're fit;
But when it comes to doing work
I'll have your understand
Headquarters isn't in it
With Chief Montin's famous band.
Chorus
We don't know where we're going
But we are on our way;
We're bound to be in Berlin
BY the twelfth of May.
And when the Kaiser sees us
You'll here him say,
I don't know where I'm going,
But Pm On my way.

Swagger Stick Betrayed.

A discussion, which began with &C.
tual preparedness in America and
which has continued now and again,
here and there, pro and con, was re-
vived, writes a New York correspond
ent, with the arrest of a fictitious army
officer, who, let 1t be known here, car
ried a swagger stick. The question,
"Why, oh, why, do they carry them2"
was intensified by the fact that one Of
the detectives asserted In English that
had 1t not been for the swagger stick
he would never have suspected the
%camouflage captain. luck was with
the detectives, and when the prisoner
was taken to police headquarters he
admitted he was not-a captain at all,
but a bold, bad young man who had
been telling naughty lies and stealing
automobiles and other knick-knacks
ever since wal was declared. However,
he Indignantly asserted that he was IL
legally arrested to begin with, for the
reason that army officers do not wear
swagger sticks right now. He seemed
to think that his arrest shouldn't count,
inasmuch as the detectives we're mis-
taken In their first and most important
clue.

UNLUCKIEST CITY OF WORLD
Bagdad, Where British Are Now Firm.
Iy Established, Has Been Drenched
In Blood of Citizens.

Bagdad, where the British are now
firmly established, has well earned it's
reputation of the worlds unluckiest
city, according to a writer in Pear
sons. Not a square inch of the soil
on which it stands but has been soaked
with the blood of it's citizens.
When the Mongols, under their ter
ribIc Chief HIul1ga, took the city in
1858, 100000 of it's inhabitants were
put to death. Worse still, Hulaga
ruined the whole system of irrigation
canals which made MesOpOtamia per-
haps the richest country in the world,
thereby destroying the work of 300
generations in as many hours"
In 1893 Timur the Tartar sacked the
city. He killed all its inhabitants,
"save only the holy men," and 10000
skulls were piled up in pyramids be-
fore the walls.
The PorsianS. under Shan Abhas,
captured Bagdad in 1923, after a des-
perate resistance, and in revenge he
ordered 800 of the principal citizens
to be tortured to death in public, the
executions lasting Over an entire week.
Three hundred others were executed
by hanging them head downward in
the city's 300 wells, thereby poisoning
the water supply.

BANK EXCHANGE IN ECUADOR
Rate is Established by President,
Who Alone Is Empowered to
Make Such Ruling.

A recent law promulgated in Ecua-
dor attempts to regulate the bank rate
of exchange as regards drafts to and
from foreign countries. 1t provides
for an advisory board to the president,
presided Over by the governor of
Guayas and composed of delegates
from the chambers of commerce of
Guayaquil and Quito, the Agricultural
association, each of the banks of issue,
and the national bank inspector. The
recommendations made by this board,
according to Commerce Reports, may
or may not be acted upon by the pres
ident, who alone is empowered to es-
tablish the legal rate Of exchaI ge;
and any person selling at a higher
rate Is liable to prosecution, with a
charged.
Export duties, including all sur
charges, may be paid by checks or
sight drafts on foreign markets where
the goods are exported, taking as a
basis the value of the pound sterling
in the New York market. The drafts
mentioned must be sold by the customs
collectors at the prices paid for them.
The purchase Of foreign drafts Is
at present very materially restricted,
owing to the scarcity of funds in other
countries; and it is generally believed
that the present law will increase the
difficulties.

For Those Fond of Parrots.

The voyage by steamship is very
hard on parrots, which are stored in
the hold, commonly in close proximity
to the engine room. Consequently they
are apt to reach their final destination
in a sickly condition. One should be
careful to make sure in buying an At
rican parrot that it is a healthy bird.
There are hundreds of species Of par
rots and the most beautiful Of them
all are the cocEatoos, native exclusive
ly Of Australasia. The giants Of the
tribe are the American macaws.
Neither the macaw nor the c~ockat0o,
is ordinarily much Of a talker, out
occasionally specimens are very clever
at conversation.

GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS
Experiments Have Shown These Pro.
duce the Same Effect as the
Light of the Sun.

1t is well known that glass exposed
fer long to sunlight acquires a violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south are often distinctly VIC
let. Experiments recently made in the
laboratories of the General Electric
company at Schenectady with X-rays
prove that these can be used to dye
glass in many colors, principally an
amethystine violet and an amber yell
low, but also green and bright yellow.
These %colors, according to Mr.. Ro-
seminal, who conducted the expert
ments, are due to notifications Of the
physical structure of the glass and not
to chemical alterations. The color can
be made to penetrate to any desired
depth, from a mere surface tint to
complete coloration Of the entire SUBJ
stance. And the same method can be
applied to tinting porcelain, enamel
and precious stones.
An interesting and important fact
about this glass that has been colored
by long exposure to X-rays is that 1t
becomes impervious to the radiations
that have transformed 1t. Thus 1t can
be used as a protection against the
glare of the sun or the snow and
against the X-rays themselves.
