Now, General Jinjur-who, you will
remember commanded the Army OF
Revolt-was rendered very uneasy
by the escape of the Scarecrow from
the Emerald City. She feared, and
with good reason, that If his Majesty
and the Tin Woodman Joined forces.
it would mean danger to her and her
entire army; for the people of OF had
not yet forgotten the deeds of these
famous heroes. who had passed sue
cessfully through so many startling
adventures.
So Jinjur sent post-haste for old
Mombi, the witch, and promised her
large rewards If she would come to
the assistance OF the rebel army.
Mombi was furious at the trick Tip
had played upon her, as we'll as at
his escape and the theft OF the Pre-
cious Powder of Life; so she needed
no urging TO induce her to travel
to the Emerald City to assist Jinjur
in defeating the Scarecrow and the
Tin Woodman. who had made Tip one
OF their friends.
Mombi had no sooner arrived at
the royal palace than she discove red.
by means of her secret magic, that
the adventures were starting upon
their journey to the Emerald City:
so she retired to a small room high
up in a tower and locked herself
in while she practiced such arts as
she could command to prevent the
return OF the Scarecrow and his COM
panions.
That was why the Tin woodman
presently stopped and said:
Something very curious has hap
pened. l ought to know by heart
every step of this journey, and yet
| fear we have already lost our way"
That is quite impossiblew pro-
tested the Scarecrow. why do you
think. my dear friend. that we have
gone astray?"

PROOF OF BIBLICAL TRUTH
Religious Writer Points Out Parallel
Between Germany and the Re-
corded Fall of Man.

The world war has brought to the
fore striking Illustrations OF the truth
Of Bible doctrines as usually interpre-
ted by what Is called the old theology.
Glance for moment at some Of the
old Bible truths that the war has Illus
tfated and vindicated.
Take, for example, the fall Of man
a. recounted in Genesis. Some have
had difficulty with this fundamental
doctrine of the Bible. was talking q
short time ago with brilliant young
college man, stepped in the scientific
skepticism Of the age, and he said:
"But, doctor, think how irrational Is
just created by an all-wise and all
powerful GodY
4 replied by pointing out the very
interesting fact that modern Germany
also fell In garden. There was not
country upon the earth more blest
and prosperous than Germany. Her
progress in all lines, except morals
and spirituality, had been marvellous.
II she had remained true to right
ideals she would have gone on un-
doubtedly into the leadership Of the
whole earth. But even In that garden
Of prosperity and peace the devil Of
selfishness, untruth and false ambition
entered, and the ruling classes fell,
and, like the fall In Eden, carried 9TH
ers down with them.-Dr. John Roach

An interesting experiment was re-
Gently tried out In New York city on
De Wolf Hopper's hlppodrome ele-
phant, Lena, says the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. A huge shoe, presum-
ably made Of coarse leather or cow
hide, with stout laces Of the same ma
terial, was tried on the elephants foot.
To put 1t more correctly, four shoes
were tried on the elephants four feet,
In tho hope that they will keep Lena's
feet arm during the cold weather.
Certainly Lena will look very funny,
walking about with these huge shoes

RUNAWAY AUTO

on our busy Main street should decide
to run riot ~ at once. some Of our
aigrifed citizens would be found
climbing telephone or electric light
poles or rhe sides Of sorne Of our sky
scrapers. All Of which IS to say that
an automobile ran away on Pomfret
street Last Saturday evening.
TIE car was somewhat ancient and
its driver jumped out in front Of
Mike the cobbler's and left his en-
CINE rather the engine Of the car
running What ne wanted to have
cobbled IS not part Of the story, but
while be vas in the shop the jar from
the running engine started the car,
which eapered down the hill, threat
ening to make a dent in Cargill Falls.
AS the car gained distance it also
gained momentum. and soon was reg
isterIng miles above the speed limit.
II was a similar stunt to what We see
in the movies. but less safe, because
the public was not wise to the exit
bition the auto had decided upon.
Two sisters from the Holy Ghost
mother house crossed the street OBJ
liyious of the onrushing car. They es-
| capped by narrow margin. Then two
women looked up just in time to make
a spring for the sidawelk and safety.
! And the ear rolled on.

property of our great commonwealth
Of Connecticut, but it might have

sign at a gallop and hit it amidships.

Ross Of Grosvenor- Dale. Mr. Ross

tee that it was sound, gentle and
would stand anywhere without hitch
ing. Now he thinks that an automo-
bile trades has TO be watched as
closely as a horse trader. and that one
had better exercise the animal oneself

State Conference of Charities and
Corrections in New London Sunday
to Tuesday.
The Sunday evening meeting was
held in the Lyceum theatre. The ses-
sion was concluded Tuesday after
noon with an attendance of 500 and
was alive with real issues. Outside of
the mass meeting held in the assem-
bly, hall of the Y. NJ c. A., there was
the round table discussion and meet
ings to discuss delinquency and cor
rection. The chairman of the round
table meeting was Henry W. Thurs
ton of the New York School of Phil

talk on How Can Probation Officers
Effect Behavior"
At the general session Mrs. Helen

directors of the State Farm for Wo-
men, talked on Delinquent Women
and Girls AS a Factor In Mobiliza-

DIR. George VI. Klein spoke on The
Need of Permanent Custodial Care
for the Defective Delinquent" Chair
man Helen Rogers requested that the
program be going over together Of
the needs of our own problems. -
According to Mrs Bartlett, the so
cial workers and probation officers
present did certainly free their minds
One of the points brought out strong
IL was the organizing of the commun-
ity to do its part Not everyone can
be a social worker and not everyone
is willing to become a probation Off
Ger. but some can give thought, some
can give money, and all can give co
operation.
Nearly every speaker emphasized
the fact of educating the public
through their local paper. as TO the
needs of its community and of its de-
hnquents To wake the people up to
their duties and responsibilities in the
conservation of lives As one speak
err said; If We can't get things done
