LIKE NOSTRUMS OF PACIFIsTS
African Kings Advice About as Help
full as the Vaporings of So-caIed
"Lovers of Peace"

Senator Smith said in a Y. M. G. A.
address in Washington:
Germany must be crushed. Peace,
otherwise, will behold the world drill
ing and arming for another and more
terrible war. An inconclusive peace
would make things worse instead Of
better.
when pacifist offers me his nos
trums, l tell him that his advice Is
worse than the African kings.
"a missionary once visited an Afri-
can king. The king was well pleased
with the young man and ordered that
800 of the most beautiful maidens in
his Kingdom be brought before him.
when the maidens-a very fine lot
indeed-were gathered together, the
king presented them to the missionary.
These 500 girls he said, are the
flower Of my kingdom. Choose wife
from among them

BLEND FAR FROM COMPLETE
Expert Finds Descendants of First
American Families Little Affected
by the Melting Pot.

Through an extensive study of men,
bers of some of the oldest American
families, America as the melting pot
of the nations proves to be but con-
venient expression for writer's and ora
torS-merely a picture drawn by those
who do not trouble themselves about
the precision of their figures of speech,
a myth without foundation Of fact.
For four years DR.. Ales Hrdlicka,
curator of the division of physical an
thropOlogy of the United States Ma
tiOnal museum, has had under way an
investigation of the blending of the va
rious types of humanity in America,
which, though not yet fully completed,
has resulted in the inevitable conclu-
sion that the force of heredity is too
strong to be radically altered in a cen
fury or two and that we must wait
centuries longer to find type which
will justify the statement that Ameri-
ca is in reality melting pot" of the
nations. Doctor Hrdlicka finds that
even the first material that went into
tAiS PVT mas Iol HlClJeu yet.
Several hundred members of the old
white American stock have been meas
ured most carefully and examined in
many ways to find if the people MAX
Ing up this stock are tending to be-
come alike-if a new subtype Of the
human race is being formed here in
America with intermarriage, environ
ment- and under the pressure of out
ward circumstances. Doctor Hrdlicka
finds definitely that, as yet, such Is not
the case. His investigation shows that
the descendants Of the Pilgrim fathers,
the Virginia cavaliers, the Pennsylva-
MIA Dutch and the Huguenots, while
possibly not as much alike as their an
cestors probably were, are still far
from a real blend.-Philadelph Rec

New German Drying Process.

The so-called Krayseska method, a
new means of drying eggs, fruit juice
and blood, has been demonstrated be-
fore the food authorities in Berlin and
found worth exploiting to large ex-
tent. The drying is done in large
iron cylinder five meters in diameter,
in which a pair Of big metal wings are
quickly rotating, driven by steam
turbine. The fluid is dashed to foam
and dried by the aid of hot current
Of air that Is continually passed
through the cylinder. The dried prod
uct is in the form of a powder, which
will keep for long time and can be
most economically transported. The
dried products go through no chemical
process and are directly soluble in wa
ter. Drying plants Of this type for
treating about 100000 eggs day will
be erected shortly in Berlin and
Bucharest.

The Boy Remembered.
(By ]. NJ. Dudley

1t was another case of death from
Spanish Influenza. Two men car
ried basket bearing a baby through
Bonaventure Station, and by their
manner of handling their helpless
burden somehow betrayed to the
writer of this story that this was
part of a funeral company and that
the little one had lost father or mo-
Their.
Afewminutes later on boarding the
train and, again seeing hte babe in
the basket, it was no surprise to see
mother by its side dressed in deep
mourning. For in some strange way
two broad-shouldered men had re-
vealed without words the tenderness
that is only called forth at such
time. Yet it was a sad surprise to
see my friend, Capt. Randall; sitting
there and to read the signs of suf-
fering in his fine old face. The faith
err of the babe was his son, who had
died of influenza and was being tax
en- home to Vermont for burial.
Capt. Randall was always proud
Of his boy and rightly so, H. E.
Randall, Jr. made a good record in
High School and in Boston Tee, and
was making wonderful strides in his
profession as a hydro-electrica en-
gineer, when death overlook him at
the age of twenty five.
The father spoke first of his sat
isfaction over the very substantial
insurance his son had provided for
his young widow, and then followed
on to this story which is given as far
as possible in the Captains own
words. "My boy was a thoughtful
and considerable son. When he got
through College and was ready for a
business position, he said, dad it has
cost you about five thousand dol
lars to educate me, and l mean to
pay you back some day. To make
this matter sure, mean to take a
life insurance policy in your favor.
At this point Capt. Randall produced
from his coat pocket a paper and
handed it over to me. 1t was a Mu-
tual Life Insurance Policy, in the
fathers favor for five thousand dol
lars. The dear old mans mind was
not on the five thousand dollars,
but his heart and mind were over
flowing with pride in the memory he
has of faithful and loyal son.
Captain Randall, H. E. Jr., not
only bore your name, but had much
of your nobleness of mind and heart.
The boy is gone but the nobility lives
and will lure others to better living
on the railroad and in your little
hill girt railroad town.

Russian churches in Alaska have
hard times making both ends meet
since wars turmoil in Russia stopped
the payment Of money by the mother
church toward the upkeep of these far
away parishes. All the churches in
that section are now being supported
solely by their small congregations.
Many Of the churches contain valuable
paintings and jeweled robes.
In order to exc out his salary, one

/ SATISFIED WITH FIND"
INDUS Rejoiced over Belief That
atiVes He Found in America
Would Make Coed Christians.

Columbus landed on a small island,
zone of the Lucayes, called in the In
dian language Guanahani," the intrepid
navigator afterward wrote. Later the
island was called San Salvador, and
now is known as Watling's island.
There was discovered in Spain in
1925 the manuscript supposed to be
Las Casas' abridgement of Columbus
journal of his first voyage to America,
and from this we have some interest
ing details of the actual circumstances
surrounding the discovery Of the new
world.
The people of the island straight
way collected together when Column
bus landed, according to this journal.
Here follow his precise words:
Gas / saw that they were very
friendly to us and perceived that they
could be much more easily converted
to our holy faith by gentle means than
by force, | presented them with some
red caps and strings of beads to wear
upon the neck and many other tribes
of small value, wherewith they were
much delighted and became wonder
fully attached to u.s."
Columbus comments that the people
appeared to him to be very poor be-
cause they went about naked. He
noted that all the natives he saw were
young, none being above thirty years,
and that all of them had fine physique
and short, straight hair. He believed
they were from the continent and was
of the opinion that they would make
good Christians, as they appeared to
have no religion at all.

WAGE WAR ON GRAsSHOPPERS
California Authorities Devising Ways
and Means to Protect Agriculture
al Lands From Pest.

County horticultural commissioners
throughout California have been asked
to forward information on the grass
hopper pest reported prevalent in a
number Of districts, particularly in
northern California, to George FL.
Hecke, state horticultural commits
sioner.
Fragmentary reports received at
Hecke's office have indicated that
large swarms of grasshoppers have
infested agricultural districts in SUIT
ter, Modoc Lassen, Butte and other
counties and have caused considerable
damage to crops.
One of the best methods Of EXTERN
ination, an official said, is the spread
ing of poisoned bran mash, which the
hoppers devour quickly. Burning Of
the grass also is an effective means,
but the fire menace at this season
necessitates the exercise Of greatest
caution.
Narrowing, by. which means the
eggs Of the hoppers are brought to the
surface to be eaten by ants or other
insects and flooding the ground also
are advocated to prevent Matching.
The enforcement Of laws for the
curbing Of pests is vested in the coun-
ty horticultural commissioners, but in
cases where the menace to crops is
extensive the state commission COOP
crates in concerted campaign Of ex-
termination, as was done this spring
when the statewide rodent drive was
conducted.
