(By Universal Service.)

Chicago, July l2.-Revelations of
orgies of the Holy Rollers" which
were reported to have caused two
women to try to offer their children
as living sacrifices to the Holy
Ghost were made in the Court of
Domestic Relations here.
When brought into court Mrs.
Barbara Stimmett and Mrs. Flor
ence Mccall, became hysterical and
screamed, claiming they were con-
trolled by power from heaven
which commanded them to sacrifice
their children to the Holy Ghost.
Edward Stimmett, husband of
Mrs. Stimmett, told an investigator
of the Illinois Humane society of
the orgies carried on in his home by
women members of the cult. He is
not a member of the society and
told freely all that he knew of it.
"She seemed to regard 2 o'clock
in the morning as the suspicious
moment to communicate with tn
Holy Ghost" he said, referring to
his wife. AT that time she is &C
customed to get out of bed and wan-
der about the house, crying and
shrieking.
Often we are visited at that un-
holy hour by other women Of the
order-thirty Or forty sometimes
who make the night hideous by
their walls. They throw bricks
through the windows, smash the
furniture and otherwise conduct
themselves as if possessed. They
work themselves up into a religious

, excess of male over female migra-
ton. This latter excess amounted
to 100000.
With regard to women, in 1911
there were in the United Kingdom
$4,000 more females than males,
and in the seelf-governing domn-
ions 10000 more males than fe-
males. During the war the sur
plus of females in the United King
dom must unfortunately have in
creased. In the dominions, on the
other hand, the war has caused
temporarily at any rate, some ad-
justment of the disproportion.
Obviously one of the problems for
solution in connection with imperial
migration is whether it is desirable
and possible to divert to the domin-
ions any proportion of the surplus
Of women in the mother country.
What the dominions require espe-
cially are agricultural laborers and
domestic servants. The commissions
ers state that there were clear in
dications before 1914 that the agri-
cultural population Of the United
Kingdom, on which the dominions
had drawn so largely in past years,
was no longer capable of providing
any considerable supply of migrants.
The purely rural population of the
mother country was not in excess

Some very opposite figures are
embodied in the final report Of
the dominions royal commission
Whereas in the period 189l-l90C
only % per cent went to the British
dominions and the remainder to for
eign countries, principally the
United States, in the period 1901
II 63 per cent settled within the
empire. In 1918 this proportion in
creased to 7S per cent Emigration
during the 40 years lSzl-l9ll abb
sorbed only u per cent of the nat
ural increase of the male popula-
ton In the case of women, it alb
sorbed only p per cent of the total
natural increase.
In the forty years from lS7l-l91l
some 100000 more males than fe-
males left England and Wales alone.
and. as the commissioners point
out, 1T is clear that such condi-
ton Of affairs creates undesirable
problems both in the United King
dom and the dominions."
Between 1870 and 1910 $4,000
more boys than girls were born in
England and Wales; during the
same period 1000 more males than
females died. 1t follows that prac-
tically all the increase in the excess
number of females over males at all
ages in England and Wales between
1871 and 1911 was caused by the

Following the session in the Do

sent to DR.. Hickson, of the Prycho-
pathic Laboratory, for examination
as to their sanity.
A visit was made to the Pentecos-
tai Mission, the headquarters of the
Holy Rollers" here, to find out
whether human sacrifices were en-
ragged by the cult. This was
denied by Mrs. Brinkman, who was
in charge of the mission while her
husband, George c. Brinkman, was
in the East gathering new converts.
Sitting at her desk in the mis-
sion Gan ex-delicatessen store, re-
papered with the Pentacostal
Herald and various religious tracts
Mrs. Brinkman explained that a
certain amount of frenzy and
hysteria was needed in order to get
into close communication with the
Holy Ghost. She admitted. though,
that some devotees carried this to
excess.

MUCH PROGRESS
MADE IN ROADS
IN LAST DECADE
Highways Today Show Con-
trast From Those of 10
Years Ago; All Glasses
Benefited.

"When one brings to mind the
roads of a decade ago" says w. S.
Johnson, All-American truck dis
tributor, Chicago, and compares
them with the roads of the present
day, contrast is presented which
is hardly acknowledgements which
only could be travelled by horses.
and then only after the weather had
been favorable for sufficient length
of time to permit a wagon being
drawn over them. as against the
present day roads which can be
travelled practically during and after
all sorts of weather.
Al a glance the casual observer
may comment upon the comparative
condition of roads 10 years ago and
now, but it is the user of those
roads who sees the advantages Sath-
er than the condition of the roads
themselves. He sees the possibilities
that the better roads have made;
constant hauling, more hauling, and
cheaper hauling under all conditions
Would Cut Cost.
1T is estimated by the office of
public roads that the cost of haul
age of the surplus products of the
farm, forest and mine reach we'll
over $500,000000 annually, and that
if further improvement were made
upon present roads this cost could
be cut in half. This means that bet
ter roads would increase the inef-
ficiency of haulage 100 per cent. 1t
would mean that practically twice
the volume of work could be accom-
plished with the same number Of
trucks, and that the cost of haulage
would be materially reduced. This
is most important because it not
only affects the users of trucks but
it affects everyone If the haulage
cost is reduced. the cost of the pro-
duce as it is handled over the mer-
chandising counter also is reduced.
Mistaken Idea.
The idea that the truck user and
the automobile owner derive all the
benefit of the good roads toward
which everyone pays taxes. is mis-
taken one. Regardless of whether
man drives truck or car over the
roads which are built and repaired
by the assistance of the taxpayer,
every individual derives dividend
from the investment which may be
realized in the reduction of the cost
OF food, wearing apparel, or other
necessities of life No one can af-
ford to overlook the opportunity Of
advocating good roads if it is con-
sidered worth while to advocate the
reduction of the high cost Of living"

NATIONAL HEROES OF FRANCE
lazare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch Are Names to Be Forever Held
 In Grateful Memory.

Marshal Foch Is taking a particular satisfaction at this time of the con- summation of great victory to pay homage to the fame of LaZare Hoche, the famous young general who escaped the Revolutionary guillotine eventual ly to command that army of the Sam bre-et-Meuse which. though at first disorganized. badly fed and badly equipped, performed the brilliant seven months campaign which established the reputation of French arms on both sides of the Rhine. To this day at Weissenthurm stands a monument to it's memory and that of its brilliant young chief. No wonder Marshal Foch takes pleasure in recalling Lazare Hoche to his countrymen. Of Hoche 1t is said that he once proudly wrote to the minister for war of his day, "Je suis" Ia patrie." The French of the present century would throw up their hats at such a sentiment as en- Enthusiastically as the contemporaries of Hoche and Rouget de Lisle. With the great mass of them, though they do not perhaps express 1t so tersely, Foch is '1a patrie" in the sense that he cer- tainly stands for them as "lsl Victoire' personif1ed.

 That the whist and dance given by the Strazza post Friday evening in the Springs House was success might be gleaned from the fact that the post thinks it advisable to run a turkey

 Friday night and that was just what
 the service men wanted, for it meant that the parents of the boys were en-

 themselves pleasure for during the

 lowed. The prizes for the whist were

High heels prevail in spite of the promise of something wiser in build coming into popular favor. Yet, to quote a well-known doctor: "No wo' man pretends that she Is comfortable when wearing high heels nor can she hope to be graceful when wearing them, for the body is thrown out of boise and the action of the feet Is re stricted. More serious than her awk. wardness Is the eventual injury to her health. For in the effort to preserve her equilibrium the shoulders are thrown forward, depressing the chest breathing is interfered with, and that means poorer blood and a final de. crease in vitality.

 Go ahead on the new price level. Business men should face the facts. To talk reverently of 1913-14 prices is to speak dead language today. The buyers of the country, since the armistice, have made an unexampled attack upon prices through their waiting atti- tude, and yet price recessions have been insignificant. The req son is that we are on a new high price level, which will be found 8 stubborn reality.
