Now what is the relation of melanin, the
color pigment of the human being, toward
human conduct? | am convinced that it re-

as the shape of the nose or forehead. The

to this mysterious pigment. Thus, l have

MISS FANNIE DUNLAP.

Miss Fannie Dunlap, of College
Hill, died early Monday morning after
only a short illness. She had been
quite a sufferer at times for the past
year, but after an attack, would
soon rally until death came, almost
without warning.
She was born and reared at College
Hill and like Dorcas of old, her deeds
of mercy and kindness were unnumber-
ed all around the country far and
wide. If anyone was sick, she was
sent fo~ to minister to their needs and
when called, she responded quickly
and did it cheerfully. In times OF
joy she was called for by young and
old-they depended on her advice.
AS her pastor said, no eulogy can
express the extent of her worth-her
life was an open book and everywhere
these words could be heard: "my best
friend is gone"
She left a brother, ]. A. Dunlap,
and number of neices and nephews,
besides hosts of other friends to
mourn this good woman's death. She
was about IS years old and made her

Failure of Asiatic Rice Crop Sends
Prices Upward Again.

Beaumont, Tex, Dec. 27.-Extreme
shortage of Asiatic rice probably will
cause a further advance in American
prices, according to reports received
here by the Southern Rice Growers
association from its European repre-
sentative, who is studying crop condi-
tions in Belgium and Holland.
The condition of the rice market,
according to the reports. is dependent
almost altogether upon the attitude of
the British government in handling
the Siamese and Rangoon crops.
England controls these crops, the
largest in the world, but as yet has not
announced it's policy in disposing of
the product. The smaller crop in
French China, controlled by the
French government, is said to be in a
similar state of uncertainty.

London.--A Bolshevik army Of TO-
600 men has crossed the River Dnies-
ter south of Lemberg, according to a
Zurich dispatch received in Paris and
forwarded by the Exchange Telegraph
Company. The army is said to be
commanded by Major Georgy and is
composed mainly of Hungarians and
Bulgarians who were prisoners of war
in Russia.
Hungary's adoption of Bolshevism
is, regarded most seriously by the
Anglo-French press. chiefly as endan-
gering the efforts of the Entente to
build up the Roumanian, Polish and
Czecho-Slovak States as bulwarks
against German domination of Cen
trail Europe. All these three States
are mepaced by advancing Bolshevik
armies
According to a Vienna dispatch, it
was the establishment of the neutral
zone on the Hungarian-R oumanian
frontier which the Peace Conference
had decided upon, which precipitated
the crisis. This zone was intended to
make the Hungarians desist from at
lacking the Roumanians and to close
the gap between Roumania and Po-
land. The Entente note defining the
zone was dated March 10, the Vienna.
advices state. The zone was fixed as
a belt 40 miles long and 40 miles
wide, virtually shutting Hungary be-
hind the rivers Thesis, Szamos and
Maros, and including the towns of
Grosswardein, Debreczen and the en-
tire country behind them. The note
requested the withdrawal of the Hun
garian troops behind the western
boundary of the belt within ten days
and authorized the Roumanians to adj
vance to the eastern boundary. The
civil government of the neutral zone
was to be exercised by Hungarians'
under Allied control, but the import
ant points would be occupied by Al
lied troops.
Statements issued at Budapest ac-
cuse the Entente of forcing revolu-
ton, but the crisis is held here to be
more, probably due to the occupation
of parts of Hungary by Czecho-
Slovaks and Roumanians, while COM
