WHAT MIRO READ AT SCHOOL

Neleus Mystery"

At school Miro was early impressed
with the vast dignity Of the literary
works and names he was compelled to
learn. Shakespeare and Goethe and
Dante lifted their plaster heads frown-
ingly above the teachers as they perch
ed on shelves about the room. Much
was said Of the greatness Of literature.
But the art Of ph0netics and the COM
plications Of grammar swamped Miro's
early school years. 1t was not until ne
reached the high school that literature
began really to assume that sacredness
which he had heretofore felt only for
holy Scripture. Randolph Bourne writes
In Yale Review. His initiation into
culture was made almost a religious
mystery by the conscientious and
harassed teacher. As the "Deadwood
Boys" and "David Harum" slipped
away from Airo's soul in the presence
Of Milton's "Comus," and Burke ION.
Cancellation" q cultural devoutness
was engendered in him that never
really died. At first 1t did not take
Miro beyond the stage where your
conscience IL strong enough to make
you uncomfortable. but not strong
enough to make you do anything about
It. Mira did not actually become Al
omnivorous reader Of great books. But
he was filled with q rich grief that the
millions pursued cheap and vulgar &c
ton instead Of the best that has been
thought and said in the world. Miro
Unfortunately bought cheap editions

Mr.. Untemyer told the committee
that neither under the wartime pro-

sHoFAR IN HEBREW RITUAL
weed instrument oatss Back - the
Very Earliest Youth Of the
Woeld.

Hebrew historians. with q special
eye Tor earl to the racial history, are
very proud Of their shofar. They say
1t is the Oldest form Of wood wind in
strument In the world. that It was
used In the original Mosaic ritual
II 10 the one musical instrument. says
DR.. Cyrus Adler, which has been pre-
served unbrokenly in that ritual.
There IL even q theory, voiced By
Professor Steinthal, that the shofar
antsdates the people Of Israel. He
says It probably goes back to prehis-
toric times. And another investiga-
tor points out that 1t obviously came
nrst from a folk solely dependent On
the growing Of sheep.
This ancient rams horn instrument
was perhaps earliest used for the sig
mails of alarm which were 20 neces-
sarily common in primitive society,"
The lsraelites then adapted 1t to their
religious services. and with such fit-
ting effect that 1t has persisted
uniquely since the beginning.
But the Talmud indicates that, even
among the Hebrews. the shofar was
also developed into a horn for Civ
Ing alarms. Fundamentally these
alarms would be incidental to war.
Afterward. though, the instrument was
blown In other seasons of danger or
distress. 1t warned Of famine or Of q
plague OF locusts or Of drought. And
1t was employed in the public serv-
Ice OF accommodation.
The children Of Israel had other
horns which were used for musical
and ritualistic purposes, but this 10
the only one which has survived.

ing Of Federal Council Of
Churches.

New York, July 13.-The Protest.
ant church Of this country represented
In the Federal Council Of Churches of
Christ In America issued a declaration
that the state should attempt to Sc
cure to the worker IN income suffi-
Client to maintain his family as stand
ard of living which the community can
approve"
This was part Of a announcement
on the attitude Of the church toward
social reconstruction which was drawn
up by the commission on the church
and social service of the federal coun-
Gil. The federal council is a congress
OF thirty leading Christian bodies for
united action.
The statement asserts that ut is a
false idea that the churches are only
concerned with religious. educational
and charitable enterprises. They are,
or should be, vitality concerned with
civic, economic and other social inter-
ests."
Rights Of working men to share in
the control Of industries are set forth
In this statement at length. 1--WE have
come upon times when people are not
submissive to injustice or to unneces-
sary privati0n and suffering" declares
the church commission. '"They are
deeply and Justly In earnest. II those
who are the actual industrial, politi-
cal and social leaders Of the nation
will not act upon the principle that the
greatest shall be the servant of all,
then the people themselves, with in
dignation and bitterness, are sure to
take their destiny and that Of the
world into their own hands.
Glass consciousness and the use Of
violence are not confined to the revo-
lutionary groups. The possession Of
wealth and education tend to the for
nation of classes, and industrial own
ership and management to class con-
scicus ruling group. We observe the
dangerous tendency Of many state and
municipal officials to deny fair hear
ings to radical offenders and to use
unnecessary and provocative brutality
during strikes.
Legislatures, judges and officials
should act firmly but Justly, without
bluster and without unnecessary vio-
lence. Working men believe that they
do not get an equal chance before the.
law, and 1t is highly important that
whatever real basis there Is for the
conviction should be removed.
"A deep cause Of unrest in industry
is the denial to labor Of share in in
dustrial management. LabOrers must
be recognized as being entitled to as
much consideration as employers and
their rights must be equally safeguard
ed. This may be accomplished by as
surfing the workers as rapidly as 1t can
be done with due consideration to con-
ditions as fair share In control; by
opportunity for ownership with cor.

Germany was said to be in immedi-

Uf almost all kinds, particularly cotton
and copper, in order to rehabilitate
her industries. Large amounts Of food
lave been sent INTO that country un-
der direction of the interallied relief
commission, but 1t is believed that the
demand for grain and other cereals
will be great. Clothing of all kinds
also Is needed.
Three ships for Germany already

Miss Daisy Ferguson of 70 Balling-
brook, Petersburg, Va, says:
'I had suffered awfully for seven
years with eczema on my neck and in
my hair. ! had spent several hun
dred dollars in an effort to cure it,
but without success. I have now
taken three bottles of Dreco, and since
taking it the eczema is drying up, the
redness is going away and it is better
than at any time before. 1t is prac-
tically we'll, but l am still taking
Dreco because feel sure it is going to
take it away entirely
Dreco is pleasant to take and re-
lieves rheumatism cleanses the blood,
regulates the bowels, overcomes con-
stipation, acts on the liver and kidneys
and is fine for skin troubles. such as
eczema, scurvy. boils and pimples.
Dreco is made from juices and eX-
tracts of many medicinal herbal
plants which act on the vital organs in
a pleasant and prompt manner.
Dreco is highly recommended in
Lexington by Geiger DRUG Co.
