WAR CHANGES
ANCIENT GREEK
CAPITAL LITTLE

ATHENS.-(CorrespOndence of The
Associated Press.) Few large cities
of the country that were engaged in
the war have been less affected by it
than the ancient capital of Greece.
Free entirely from the menace of air
raids and hOstils bombardment, and
participating actively in the war for
comparatively a short time, Athens is
today in all essential features exactly
as it was in pre-war days.
There is scarcely any outward sign
that the country ever was in the great
world conflict During the entire pro-
gress of the war, all the stores, thea
tiers, cafes, museums and places OF
amusement in the Greek metropolis
were doing business as usual and the
inhabitants felt only remotely the eff
fects of the war Prices of food and
clothing were much higher than in
peace times, but the people suffered
from no such scarcity of these and
other necessaries of life as did the
populations of London, Paris and other
continental cities.
one of the most abundant sources of
revenue, however. disappeared en-
tirely during the war.
The passing years appear on the
whole to have made little change in
the Athenian capital If the visitor
who knew Athens well in the days
long ago could pay another pilgrim
age to the historic city, he would see
still the same quaint sights that have
always made Athens appear to the
foreigner rustic and unsOphisticated,
in the midst of all it's cosmopolitan
ism. We would see number of mich
goats roaming down one of the main
streets, picking up orange peel and
paper bags in the gutter, while their
owner drew the sweet warm milk
from them to fill the bottles and pitch
ers of the busy Greek housewives who
emerged front their homes in re-
Spouse to the tinkle of the goats bells
and the hawking cry of the fustan-
ella-clad herdsman He would see also
the countless little Greek gamins. dir
ty and ragged. that are so much a
part of the life of the capital and
who shine shoes and sell lottery
tickets.
Another familiar sight would be the
old women, thin tanned and bent
with years, with black handkerchiefs
tied under their chins, and carrying
on their backs dilapidated hampers of
wild herbs and salad leaves, which
they dispose of to the abstemious
Greek householders of the neighbor-
hood for about 25 lepta 6 cents) a
quart. Greek funeral professions. in
which the body of the deceased is
carried in an open hearse fully en-
posed and without coffin or covering.
are familiar sights.
Other cities change with times, but
Athens seems as immutable today as
it was in the centuries that have gone.
Three wars within a decade have al
tered only blightly the life. character
istics and institutions Of the ancient
city of Hellas.

NO FLU

A year ago everybody was hav-
ing or had had or were going to
have the flu, which was an cpl
demic spreading all over the Uni
ted States and fatal in many
cases.
1t was a dread disease and
people were frightened and all
sorts of preventions and precau-
lions were taken, a good many
perhaps foolish, but still thor
oughly believed in and possibly
in that way doing its bit of good.
We were given to understand
b. those who purported to know,
that the winter of 1919 and 1920
would see the influenza more pre-
valent than ever. So far the dis
case has not appeared, at least in
this locality, and here'e hoping
and trusting that we see no more
of it.

CITY, FAVORED BY
COURTS DECISION

Circuit Judge Eugene f. Law
on Friday issued a decree in the
case of the city of Yale VS.. Henry
P. Dinner in favor of the plaintiff
The findings of the court compel
the defendant to pove a wooden
building from INSIDE the fire limits
Of the city. The case was started
when the city fled q bill of COM
plant, alleging that Dinner had
moved a wooden structure into a
vicinity in the city which is con-
trolled by the fire laws in direct
violation of the ordinance.
In issuing the decree, the court
found that the allegations con-
tanned in the bill, which was filed
about three weeks ago.. were corr
rect, and an order has been issued
directing the defendant to re-
move the structure at once.

MAY BE MORE SOBER
BUT NOT MORE SANE
DR.. Van Dyke Says Prohibition
Is Not Stopping Riot and
Murder

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 11-High-
way robberies. race riots and muir
ders "seem to be increasing in
spite of prohibition" said DR.. Hen
ry Van Dyke. former American
minister to the Netherlands; in
an address here last night before
the Worlds Christian Citizenship
conference.
"The world may be more sober"
he said. "but it certainly is not
more sane" On the contrary, it
seems as if the pressure of human
impulse and passion has become
more intense. while the restraint
of reason and conscience has re-
laxed. What else could you ex-
pect from a world which does not
go to church. and whose chief in
tellectuai influence is the moving
picture show?"
DR.. Van Dyke declared stand
pat" world was impossible. The
world, he said, was not without
hope or effort for Improvement.
Human nature has not changed
and "selfishness, ignorance and
violence" are the ancient enemies
against which civilization must
ever contend. The church should
not take sides with either CAPITA
or labor but with humanity And
Christ"
Referring to the movements un.
der way for better day DR.. Van
Dyke said it was inevitable that
there should be a partnership,
League Of Nations to prevent OF
suppress any new outbreak of the
war madness" which had cost the
world about $200,000,000,0 900 and
nearly 100000 men slain and
countless thousands of aged men,
women and children starved to
death.
THE frivolity of certain Amer
lean senator's" he said, may keer
us out of the league for a brief
time, but in the end it is coming
and we shall be III it as sure as
there is a God in Heaven and q
dominant common sense in the
American people" The speaker
asserted collective bargaining
between capital and labor has
come to stay and that labor unions
are indispensable but that the re
sponsibility of both to the public
must be recognized.
Secrecy in regard to the condi
| tions of labor and the accumula
tion Of wealth must and will b,
abolished" declared DR.. Van Dyk,
"The books of the great corpora
tions and of the labor unions mus
be open to inspection. The com
mon people, who are neither pro
letarian nor capitalist, have ;
right to know what goes on behint
closed doors. Secret societies O
any kind are enemies of >the re
public. We are going to get rid o
them"

OF the Storm of November 9, 1913
Which Caused Disaster on
the Great Lakes

Sunday, November 8, 1919, was
most beautiful DAY, not as per-
feet as some days, but moderately
warm and calm, with the sun
peeping out occasionally from the
clouds and making wonderful
showing at sunset with full glor-
ious rays shining over the Novem-
Der earth.
The day, November 9, brought
to mind that same date of 1913,
six years ago, when the fiercest
storm that the Great Lakes had
ever known, swept over the coun-
try and brought tragedy and dis
aster in its wake.
All day the storm ragged, grow
ing fiercer and stronger during
the night, and many prayer went
up for the ships that were out and
the crews aboard, but no informa-
tion was available as to the safety
or the danger until sometime on
Monday, when it became known
that many boats'were lost on Lake
Huron, but several days elapsed
before the news became definite,
and the sea began to give up its
secrets.
The steamers Regina, Argus,
Mclean, Price and many others
had gone down in the deep waters,
taking with them their entire
crews.
And then bodies began to come
ashore, eleven at Port Frank, one
near Lexington, but these were
only a few to the many who never
came up.
One of the tragic events inter-
esting to our people was that of
the sinking of the Chas. S. Price,
which overturned at point oppo-
site Cedarwood, local summer re-
sort, the bow or mast of which
could still be seen the following
summer from this beach, with the
use of field glasses. This wreck
was called the mystery ship, be
cause it was some time before it
was discovered what boat it was,
and how it came to be bottom side
up. The steamer Price still re-
mains in this position, although
several efforts have been made
to float her, but have been un-
successful.
1t may be that many bodies are
still confined under this boat, as
only seven have been ACCOUNTED
for among those washed ashore.
1t was time that brought suf.
fering and sorrow into many
homes.

SUNDAY MORNING FIRE

Sunday morning last at $3.50 the
alarm of fire was sounded by the
power house whistle, and it was
soon learned that John Bright's
house on Wood street was afre.
The hose companies quickly re-
sponded and the flames were sub
dued, but not until great deal Of
damage was done by fire and
water.
Mr.. Bright had just recently re-
modelled his house and the fam
lily was nicely settled and enjoy
ing the comforts and conveniences
of their home. 1t is not known
Just how the fire started for no fire
had been built in the stove in hat
part of the house where the fire
broke out since the night before.
A defective chimney may have
been the cause, and the fire must
have smoldered away all night.
The loss to the building and fur
niture is around $500. both cover

MONSTER PREPARATION

A whole army of mechanics and
laborers are at work preparing
the mammoth structures for the
1919 international Live Stock EX-
position. This essential prelimi-
nary task in order that we may
fltly celebrate the Twentieth An
niversary event, is being conduct
ed on a more elaborate scale than
ever before, the management be-
ing determined to insure the COM
fort of visitors and their charges.
The spacious buildings and
grounds are being artistically de-
corated.
Owing to the wonderful growth
Of the show and to properly
house all entries, several more
buildings are in process of prep
aration. An effort is being put
forth to make the international
Grain and Hay Show, a new be-
partment of the international Live
Stock Exposition, on the same high
level attained by this last mention
ed institution.
Once tne inauguration OF the
exposition, it has been the policy
of the management to spare no ex-
pense to insure perfection in
every detail.
Owing to the increased cost of
materials and labor these de-
tails might have been neglected
this year, but the directors de-
cided that it would be doubtful
economy and the high standard of
previous years will be maintained
If not excelled.
When the gates of the exposition
are opened on Nov. 29th, for the
great live stock roundup of the
season, the public will realize
that regardless of obstacles and
abnormal conditions nothing es-
sential to the success of the ex-
position has been overlooked.

THE TELEPHONE

A voice across the telephone
Can make or mar the day.
Be careful Of the tone you use,
And think of what you say.
Your pleasant smile be seen,
Or known your kindly heart,
For people at the telephone
Are often miles apart.
The girl who answers Central
Has a score of lines to mind,
Mistakes are sure to happen,
SO be patient and be kind.
For life is like a garden,
Where our daily acts are grown
And as nature has ordained it,
We will reap as we have sown
Then sow "smile" and reap a
SMILE"
And in. the end you'll find
That nothing pays more interest
Than the art of being kind

COLD PACK METHOD
is NOT BLAMED
So Say Scientists in United States
Department of Agriculture

Decayed products, not the cold
pack method of canning are re-
sponsible for the recent deaths of
five people in Detroit who ate ripe
olives, say scientists in the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture. They also say that if people
would throw away or refuse to eat
food that smells spoiled they
would be insured against poison
ing by the Bacillus botulinus, the
bug that has come into the lime
light recently through its nefar-
ious behavior. This organism,
when present in canned food is
the cause of active decay.
1t is poor economy to eat food
which has begun to spoil or rot.
The person who does runs the risk
of death. In every case observed
of botulinus poisoning, the people
who served the food knew that il
had an unpleasant stencil smell
of decay or putrefaction, and it
should never have been put on the
table.
Ripe olives, which the Detroit
health commissioners claims caus-
ed the death of FIVE in Detroit,
/ are not packed in the cold-pack
method. The process usually en-
ployed to preserve olives is to dip
them Several times in lye, rinse
them In fresh water and then put
them in weak brine. No heat is
used and the brine is not strong
enough to prevent toxine forma-
ton. b. M
