the torch on the statue of liberty, then
victory comes and not until then.
Woman's Part in War.
The greatest factor in overcoming
the German state of mind is woman,
who for the first time in war has a
recognized place outside of hospital
work. The Women's Association of
Commerce of the United States of
America has taken the initiative in
stopping German propaganda by re-
fusing to listen to it.. The members
of this organization, of which Flor
ence King, the Chicago attorney, is
the president, and Mrs. Howard Gould
secretary, have started an endless
chain looking to this end. Our quar-
rel is directly with the German people,
make no mistake about that, for we
are fighting a system that must be
abolished. Therefore this war is not
a question of men primarily. 1t is not
a question of food primarily. 1t is
not question of ships primarily. 1t
is the question of state of mind.
That state of mind must be burned
clean with the caustic of civilization
and if you doubt the bigness of that
job let me quote the plans Germany
has for you. You will find this plan in
book called "Krieg" written by Klaus
Wagner. The whole story is told in
this paragraph:
Not only North America but the whole
of America must become bulwark OF
Germanic Kultur perhaps the strongest
fortress of the Germanic race. That is
every ones hope who has freed himself
from his own local European pride an6
who places the race feeling above the
love for home.
l call your attention to that last
line: she who places the race feeling
above his love for home" What is
your answer to Doctor Wagner's pre-
scription. The answer is best made
by Dr. John McRae, a physician killed
at the front, who never wrote a line
of verse until he saw the slaughter in
Flanders and then penned these Won
derful lines:
In Flanders Fields the peoples blow
Between the Crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived. felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep. though peoples grow
In Flanders Fields.
There is the answer and if YOU dc

Hammurabl,s Law.

Hammurabi, who was king Of Chal'
dea about 21S5 B. c., and whose code
of laws is the oldest existing legal
record Of humanity, was not such a
back number after all, even though the
supreme court Of Missouri has Just
set aside one of his precepts. Accord
ing to this precept the son of an adopt
cd son, the latter dying before his
adaptive parents, does not become the
legal heir to the parents estate. The
supreme bench of the "Show Me" state
could not see the matter in this light.
Yet the principle that legacy which
the legatee did not live to receive re-
verts to the estate OF the testator is
recognized in modern law. Unless
the surviving heirs Of the legatee are
descendants. related in blood to the
testator, they cannot inherit. Ham
murabi's law may not be good law in
Missouri, but it would be recognized
as such almost everywhere else.-Phil

JURORS MADE OWN. CARDS
Men Manufactured a Deck With
Which to Pass Away
the Time.

J Playing cards, dice and checkers, all
Of their own making, was the expert
ence Of a federal court Jury in Sc
attic. The-case was submitted1to the
jury at four o'clock in the afternoon
by Judge e. e. eastman. At six
o'clock, unable to agree, the members
OF the jury were taken to dinner, and
after their return they deliberated on
the case until two o'clock in the morn
ing.
Deadlocked by the action Of one
member, further consideration was re-
fused and one of the Jurors called
upon Bailiff Tobey for deck of cards.
The request was refused. Bailiff TO
hey notified the Jurors that to ccrl-
ply with 1t would be to violate the
law.
Thereupon 1t was decided to maize
their own cards, and ten Of the Jurors
proceeded to build a deck of cards out
of the luncheon boxes in which they
had brought sandwiches to the jury
room, which they obtained following
their dinner and in anticipation that
they were in for a long session.
While four then proceeded to play
pitch, another member put his hand in
one of the pockets Of the card player,
where enough Jumps Of sugar were
found to make set of dice, he having
taken the sugar while at dinner and
placed it in his colleagues pocket
without any idea that he would find
such use for it later.
Two more Of the jurors were yet to
be supplied, however, and these lat
ter decided on turning blotter they
found in the room into a checker
board, which was Immediately done, q
dance program which hung on the
wall being cut up for use as check
ers.
The nonassenting member of the
jury and one other decided upon a
sleep. There was no further delibera-
ton on the case, the Jurors continu-
ing to play their games and sleep un-
til the opening of court the next
morning, when they reported to Judge
Neterer that they were unable to
agree, and they were discharged.
