HOOVER GIVES REASON
Low SUGAR SUPPLIES

the curtailment Of sugar transporta'

'As CLOSE An estimate ~ We can
make indicates . reasonable sxpecta'
tlon from all sources OF about 1.6OO.O0O
tons Of sugar for tho United States
consumption during the last half OF
the present year. This 10 based upon

shipping conditions would Of course
relieve this situation as quantities Of
sugar are In unavailable markets. We
must. however, base the distribution q

on the above footing. After that period
the new West Indian crop will be
available.

HUM0RIST HAD LAST LAUGH


The letters of Mark Twain record
but little concerning the years he
spent la the Austrian capital. the
Christian Science Monitor observes.
The humorist did some special writing
for American papers during those
"Wanderjahre." Indeed. the Vienna
journalists took him to their hearts as
q colleague of a particularly genial
type and often invited him to a
friendly spread" at which the guests
were members Of the Austrian fourth
estate. The story OF how he got into
trouble with the authorities, through
the ~Indiscretions of a Vienna Journal
list, has probably neve been published.
As the tale goes. a certain reporter,
either In q facetious or a yindictive
moment, gave out that Mark Twain had
been seen suspiciOusly lettering about
the bridge which spans the Danube
canal near the Ring ~strasse. and not
far from the Hotel Metropole. at which
the Clemenses lived. Mark could not
let this reflection upon his character
20 unchallenged. He FASTENED to ex-
plain-to apologize. In fact. for having
given the authorities the slightest
anxiety about him.
The explanation was thoroughly
Twainlike. He had found by the
bridge the longest German word he
had ever seen and, Ia order to compre-
bend II In all Its longitude and lati-
tude. he had pinned n end Of 1t to
the bridge with the idea Of unfolding
I'll Bearing his precious burden with
him, he came to the opposite end Of the
bridge. only, alas. to find that he still
had yards TO sparel The apology was
accepted with many a broad grin.

EXPLAINING GODS or EGYPT
Prof. Flinders Petrle Has Thrown
Much Light on Sources Of Myth
ology Of Ancient Land.

The question Of the character and
origin of the local gods Of Egypt Is
still obscure; but a paper by Prof.
Flinders Petrie. published In Ancient
Egypt" part 8, 1917, does much to
clear it up. Professor Petrie collected
the original records of these cults, and
by marking the headquarters Of each
deity he arrived at important results.
Ra appears In only one southern city,
and his cult seems to have come from
the northeast. The distribution Of
Nut, the mother-goddess. Is decidedly
eastern, while that Of Amen Is west
ern. Set was certainly brought into
Egypt by the desert road, as he had
there two centers Of the first class. and
he was introduced by the Red e way
to the eastern delta.
The distribution Of the Osiride triad
indicates q settlement 81 early In the
land that the worship generally
diffused. Professor Petrie sums up
his article thus: The geography OF
the worship Of the gods Is thus seen
to have a considerable value histori-
cally, as bearing on their origin and
connections. When more complete re-
search into the localities Of various
uncertain names may extend u iden-
tiications. II will be possible to get
more light ON the sources of Egyptian
mythology."-Nature.

Hiuh Ideals Marked indians.

The law Of hospitality was general
among the savage tribes of this CONT
nent. It was rare. or indeed unknown,
that an enemy who had accepted hos
pitality ever violated that rule which
made hts host as sacred as himself had
been. Among our most savage tribes
the liar always was a man despised.
The man who fought In the open was
the man respected. The forked tongue
ranked a nan where such a man be-
longed and always will belong-with
the snake that crawled on Its belly.
The Indian sign for that was Q sign
of contempt and d~etestation.

Where Civilization Started.

The lacustral settlements were
places Of refuge for a pastoral and
agricultural people and the light and
dryness that characterized the dwell
ings show a step In advance toward
more permanent abodes. In this Pc
Rod science places the beginning Of
civilization.
By these lacustrine men spinning
and weaving were invented. Agncul-
lure was born among them; animals
were domesticated-the or, the cow,
the sheep. the goat. the dog. The
uses Of metal were discovered and the
age of iron was ushered In.
H~abitations similar to these still ex-
list In the East Indies and among the
American tribes OF Maracaibo. They
existed also In Lake Prasias. In
Thrace, during the time of Herodotus,

Real Purpose Of the State.

The ultimate purpose Of the state
Is not to rule men. TO keep them In
fear, to subject them to the will of
others. but. on the contrary. to allow
each as far as possible TO live In Sc
curity, that is. to preserve for each
his natural right to live without harm
to himself or to his neighbor. No, | re-
peat, the object Of the state is not to
transform reasonable beings into ami
a or automatic its object Is to en-
able the citizens to develop In security
their bodies and their minds. freely to
employ their reason The true end OF
the state. therefore. is liberty
