HORIZONS TRY
 TO GET HOMES
 FROM vILLISTAS

Douglas. Ariz., Aug. 22.---Some of the several hundred Mormons who were driven out of their colony at Colonia Morelos, sixty-five miles southeast of Douglas by Villas army of invasion in 1916 are endeavoring to recover their homes from the Mex ican squatters who have usurped them. About ten Mormon families still live in the colony but are not permitted to occupy their own brick houses. Mexican families are living in them and refuse to quit, proclaiming the doctrine Of Mexico for Mexicans' 9
 Many other Mormons, dishcartened by their reverses have begun life anew in the United States. Appeals have been made to the Mexican au- thorities by the Mormons without re- suit. Recently the American State De- partment asked the Mexican govern ment to drive out the usurpers and restore their property to them. The colonists hope this effort will be suc- cessful.

ENRACED SLAVS DESTROY STATUE
 OF AUSTRIANS

Sarajevo. Bosnia. July 10. (By Mai1.) The Slavs have torn down the beau tiful monument of granite and bronze which the Austrians erected to the memories of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. Sophia, Du- chess of Hohenberg, which stood at the corner of the bridge where their assa Ssination by Prinzip furnished the spark that set off the world war. It bore a bronze plaque showing the figures of both Ferdinand and So- phia.
 Now that Bosnia-Herzegovi has passed from the rule of Austria and become a part of the Kingdom of Serbs. Croats and Slovenes, the parts of the monument have been stored in the museum of Sareievo. When the curator has time they will be as- sembled for the edification of the stu dents of history and to satisfy the curosity of sight seekers.
 Sarejevo seems almost to have for gotten the bomb-throwing and is well on its way toward making "business as usual" As a demobilized soldier said. We're all sick of this war bus iness.'' But the mixed population and the undertone of sympathy for Aus tria lead one to wonder what may happen in the generation after that of Prinzip.

ENGLISH GIRLS
 NOW 90 BACK
 TO HOUSEHOLD

London, July 30-The domestic service problem, according to the Ministry of Labor, is gradually be- coming easier, and the girls are show ing more inclination to return to household service.
 Further improvement is expected when the domestic service training organized by the London County'I~oun- cil are in full swing. One of these centers was opened today in Ham mersmith, and immediately all Va cancies were filled.
 Training is free to all girls who are receiving unemployment donsS- tions. Parlor maids will receive special attention, being taught to wait on ta- ble and to observe many little niceties of service, such as not joining in the laughter which follows a good joke by one of the guests. The correct way of passing around vegetables and of moving plates silently also are parts of the cirriculum.

ONE KIND DEED IS WORTH FORTY
 MONTHS PRAYER
This Is the Doctrine of The Koran, Old Religious
 Book.

Said Milton. "A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit treasured up on purpose 10 a life be- yond life" The sacred books Of the world are these: The Bible, The Kor- an, the Rig-Veda (the entire body of India's sacred lore); and the Law of Confucius. The Book Of the Dead of the Ancient Egyptians was a collec- ton of prayers and hymns for the passage of the soul to Amenti, the Land of the Dead. On August 23rd, 634 A. D., Abe Bekr died. He was Mohammed's father-in-law, and the first Caliph or successor to Mohamme ed in the government of the Faithful. In his short reign of only two years, he caused the precepts of the Prophet Mohammed to be collected in a vol ume called Al Koran" which Is the sacred and classical book of all Islam. It is written in the-Arabic language. The word Koran" is derived from the Arabic Kara" which occurs at the commencement of the 95th Surah or Chapter, said to be the first chap ter revealed to Mohammed; 1t has the meaning of the word "The Reading" Mohammed claimed that its contents were revealed to him by the Angel Gabriel, and the revelation communi- cated in dreams, whereafter he se- cluded himself in a cave in Mount Hira, and worshipped there day and night Each Surah of the Koran be- gins with the invocation, 'In the Name of God. the Merciful, the Com passionate" One of the most verses in the entire book, and connected with Islam's Law of Alsgiving, is the following: "One deed of kindness to thy neighbor is worth forty months of prayer" The prayer for the guid- ance or protection of God in the first Surah, is one of the most profoundly touching bits of religious supplica- tion in the whole system of Anno- tated Revelation.
 The Koran undoubtedly borrowed a great deal from the Hebrew Talmud. and the Bible. Mohammed was born in 571 A. D. The flight of Mohammed Cthe Hegira) from Mecca to Medina, to escape from his enemies, is the date on which Islam bases the commence ment of its era, called l A. H. This occurred in 622 of our Era, Anno Domini.

ENGLISH HAVE
 PLAN TO STOP
 COAL WhSTACE

London, July 14.-Coal scarcity and the uncertainty of the supply for the coming winter are combining to turn the attention of engineers to some system of smoke consumption which, while saving fuel, will serve to cleanse London's murky atmosphere. To the present no practical system that will come within the purse of the average householder has been de- vised, but experiments along that line are being carried out by a number of corporations.
 London uses soft coal in preference to anthracite and within an hour after six o'clock in the morning. when London servants arise. the air is filled with long spirals of smoke from countless chimneypots. The sky soon is entirely obscured.

HABIT

Druggists refund the money if they fail Be sure to read large and interesting announce ment by Doctor Connor soon to ap- pear in this paper. It tells of the dan ger of nicotine poisoning and how to avoid it. In the meantime try NicotoI tablets; you will be surprised at the reSult-Ady

 At a meeting of the general conn mittee of the Welcome Home cele- bration Tuesday evening the tangles and uncertainties of the program were shaken out and the following agreed upon:
 Flag raising and speaking on the green at 9 o'clock as aforesaid; in spection of service men by Lieut.. Col Putney; informal parade-to be par ticipated in by everypody-to the Beardsley's lot; athletic events there with twenty-three silver cups suita- bly, engraved, as prizes; clambake- feast as some one says-about 1:30; everybody on the Gulf street Grounds for the North Haven game, service men free, band conce-t at Boards ley's lot, to g p. m.; fireworks same place, g to 10: dance at the town hall, g to midnight.

 It is reported that a member of the woodmont Department living near the building noticed a blaze within about s o'clock It died down at once and investigation showed that there had been a fire in a corner among some charred papers; also there were other indications in evil dence that fires had been started at various places. The theory, therefore, is that a second and successful at tempt was made by an incendiary immediately after the passing of the last trolley by that spot.
