BABES WRAPPED
IN PAPER IN
CZECHO-SLOVAKIA

I'VE have paid a terrible price
for our liberty, but we have it at
last. Yet what good is the precious
possession of it, if our children are
to grow up stunted in growth and
too weak to repair the raVaSes of
war and to build up our nation until
it reaches the high ideals of our
dreams?"
This is the question Miss Alice
,Masaryk, daughter of the president
of Czecho-Slovakia, put to herself
when she first saw the peaked, old
faces of the Czech children and their
little bodies, weak and stunted in
growth from underfeeding.
Miss Masaryk is remembered in
America for her settlement work
in the slums of Chicago, while her
father, Professor Thomas G.. Ma
saryk, was exchange professor in
the University of Chicago.
After being held as hostage in
an Austrian prison camp and narrow

Swedish Man Will Live Life of
Prehistoric Man in Forest Wilds

Clad like Adam, Dan Smedberg is
about to plunge into the wilds of
the Swedish forests and there dem
onstrate the ability of modern man
to live like his prehistoric ancestors.
He did the same thing in Canadian
Wilds few years ago.
His weapons, supplied by museum
experts, will be identical with those
of the ancients-a stone AK head,
flint SharpenerS and fishhookS fash
toned from seashells, which will be
taken from museum collections. He
will receive no help of any kind from
people who live according to the
models of 1919, although he will re-
main under the observation of the
Swedish scientists, who are planning
the experiment for him.
The whole problem of existence is
for him to solve, once he has left
the paths of civilization. He must
catch his own food and make his
own clothes. If he wants to fry
his fish instead of eating it raw,
he must start his fire by the fric-
ton of one piece of wood against
another.
1t is possible that he may be al
lowed to use a bow and arrow in
killing game, although the scien-
lists would prefer to have him con-
fine his weapons to the stone ak
and other implements that antedate
the archer's equipment There is
a Swedish law that forbids the use
of the bow and arrow in killing hens,
ducks, hares, dogs and deer, but it
may be suspended in the case of
Smedherg. A petition has been pre-
sented to the government for permits
sion for Smedberg to use these i'm
plements-the first petition of the
kind on record. Probably it will be
granted, but even so, Smedberg will
be instructed to use the bow and

Russian Boy Ran Away From Orphans Home
To Join Army in War Against the Germans

Nicholas Gukuvin is a strange
product Of a great war.
He is small, slender, smooth cheek
ed and seventeen, although he looks
ten in spite Of his three years serv-
ice with the Russian army on the
eastern front, He showed me a saber
cut and several bullet wounds to
prove it.
Nicholas is peculiar combination
of boy and man. He is intensely
anti-BolSheVik, vehement and bitter
because the allies are not putting
forth greater and more active efforts
to help Russia. I found him hanging
around an American garrison in
northern Siberia.
When a fatherly doughboy asked
Nicholas if he would like to go to
America and live in a land of peace
he was almost insulted and answered
sharply, 81 don't want a peace job

Bitten by Dog Man Dies
d Months Later of Rabies

An unusual case Of hydrophobia is
reported by the Indian Medical Ga
zette of Calcutta and quoted in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association. About October 5, 1918,
a man, aged twenty-five, was bitten
on the right thigh, three punctures,
by his own dog, which had been bit
ten by stray dog about a month
before. A COW, an ass, a dog and the
mans wife were bitten the same day
as he was bitten.
Of these, the dog was killed within
few days, the wife died from by
drOphobia about a month and a half
after having been bitten and the
COW and the ass died a few days
later.
The patients wounds healed. He
continued his occupation until the
morning of February 4, 1919, about
four months after his bite, when he
felt a difficulty in swallowing and
in breathing. He died nearly nine
days later, which is an unusually
long time for the disease to last

from that very able address by the
great author and statesman. He said
in part:
L fear that when we indulge
ourselves in the amusement of
going without a religion, we are
not, perhaps, aware how much
we are sustained at present by
an enormous mass all about us
of religious feeling and relig-
ious conviction.
Whatever defects and imper-
fections may attach to a few
points of the d-crrinal system
simply what all Christians be-
lieve-it will be round that Cal
vinism, or any other ism which
claims an open Bible and pro-
claims crucified and risen Christ
is infinitely preferable to any
form of polite and polished skep-
ticism, which gathers as it vo-
taries the degenerate sons of he
roic ancestors, who, having been
trained in a society and educated
in schools the foundations of
which were laid by men of faith
and piety, now turn and kick
down the ladder by which they
have climbed up, and persuade
men to live without God and leave
Inem 10 ole without nope.
The worst kind of religion is
no religion at all; and these men,
living in ease and luxury, indulg-
ing themselvesin the amusement
of going without religion" may
be thankful that they live in
lands where the gospel they
neglect has tanned the beastl-
ness and ferocity of the men
who, but for Christianity, might
casses like the South Sea island
ers, or cut off their heads and
tanned their hides like the mon
sters of the French revolution.
Both skeptics and Sabbath-break-
ers will do well to consider these
weighty words of Lowell, and it
should be said that infidelity can not
harm the cause of Christ half as
much as notwithstanding. Voltaire
can never be overthrown until the
Christian Sabbath is destroyed" Do
we want to exchange our Christian
civilization for a show-going type of
life? Do we wish to pull down our
churches and put the movies" in
their place?
The moving picture shows are get
ting already too much of the money
of the people during six days of the
week without giving them the Sab
bath also for plying their cheap art,
from which they gather much silver
without giving value received"
Through women and children all the
week they are taking out Of the
purses of laboring men money that
would yield far better returns, if it
were expended on more beautiful and
comfortable homes. Shoddy shows
cannot compensate us for the loss of
our holy day and our Christian reli-
gion.
The movies" are getting too much
of the money of all the people now.
Let them be made to stop when they
undertake to use Sunday for getting
more.

Sandersville Church
Says Pastor Did Right
To Shoot Jay Bird

The following statement, giving 1.-THE
truth about why and the way in which
the jay bird was killed at the Baptist
church on the 8th day of June" has
been given out by the church, of
which Rev. w. A. Wray, who killed
the bird, is pastor:
"a number of erroneous reports
having been sent the press through
out America makes the following
statement necessary:
Before and after the Sabbath
school hour, every conceivable eff
fort was made to put the bird out
of the building, but, the ceiling being
so high, above the top of the win
dows, it was impossible. AS the
squawking Of the bird so interrupted
the work of the Sabbath school it
was thought best to remove it be-
fore the preaching hour. During the
intermission small gun was sent
for, which shoots a cartridge about
the size Of ones little finger, loaded
with mustard shot. This gun was
placed in an anteroom, that it might
be used as last resort. The bird
continued to squawk as the pastor
endeavored to read the scripture. 1t
was then fully realized that the serv-
ice must either be dismissed or the
bird shot. The pastor then stated, if
the bird confined to Shrek, he would
have to shoot him, though he hated
to do so.
"This was before the sermon. The
minister did not go to his home
after the gun, but opened the door
Of the anteroom, secured the gun
and shot the bird, which was in the
dome of the church. The bird was
then removed by a deacon. There
was no smoke from the gun and
very little noise, compared to a shot
gun.
1.-THE pastor afterwards made his
regular announcements, preached and
took a large collection for Mercer
university.
ION the following Sunday June
IS, the church, in conference, by a
unanimous rising vote, signified that
the action of the pastor in the en-
tire proceedings was correct, and es-
sentiaI for the good of the cause.

Korean Miners FIeeced
In Transformed Town

Protests by Koreans and sympa-

to the Japanese government against
the conduct of a mining company
near Phengyang. The company took
a large number of Korean miners
from Seoul. Instead of being paid
once a month the men get their
wages at the end of each day The
company owns all the amusement
houses, restaurants stores, singing
girls and disorderly resorts which
surround the miners living quarters.

don't know how much God had to do with the election OF the
senators now in office but the Tribune has taken it for granted
that He was fairly well pleased with the election returns
That followed the appeal from the White House, in war time,

farvent thanks to some one and why not the great Ruler of
The Universe?
The senate of The United States has performed a valiant
service that needed TO be performed. We were i'll imminent
danger OF swapping the American form of government III a
morass of autocracy. The question was whether congress In
the face of what was real danger should go down or stand up.
II has elected to stand up. 1t has not been willing to become
the bell hop or the rubber stamp of the man in the White
House or on the throne of the administration
The senate has in effect said that the provisions of the
constitution shall not be trampled under foot 1t took some
courage to stand up in that way in the face of what was made
to appear to be a popular clamOr, for it is alawys easy to rally
people under the spell of a strong executive and many people
are always ready to side against their law makers although
they were elected directly by themselves.
We need a great deal more assertiveness OF the same Kind
if we want to save intact this government which has been
called a republic. We have been drifting from our ancient
moorings. The case of Roman history is often cited, but it is
well to bear in mind that Rome ceased to be a republic when
the executives began to assert aulocrahc authority and to
suppress the authority of the Roman senate.

HENRY FORD AND HIS BIBLE

They made Mr.. Henry Ford admit that at one time he
thought Of having the Bible rewritten in plain every day
English and he had a Mr.. Brownell in mind to do the job.
They might have asked what is the matter with the English
OF the Bible, is it not the best eXtant and has it not colored all
literature from Shakespeare down? 1t is really very choice
English. What Mr.. Ford may have meant was to modernize
some of the Bible doctrines. But it is easily to be guessed
that after Mr.. Ford had made millions he began to believe he
knew all about everything that did not have to Go with auto
mobiles. But he is not an exception; most men of success
have been afflicted in such ways and the newspapers have
been the greatest promoters of that state of mind. Do they
not send out smart reporters to get the views of Tom. Dick
and Harry-when they have achieved money or notoriety-to
find what they think about everything under the sun and also
about some things above the sun? Mr.. Ford is simply a crea-
lion of the newspaper state of mind with which the world is
afflicted.

for the Tonopah Divide mine and
other Wingfield-Broughe interests
in that district, has resigned to de-

the Development company has ever

Darcy was asked by Wingfield to

Mr.. Darcy will be succeeded by
E. A. Julian, II of the foremost
engineers in the country.
Before resigning, Mr.. Darcy is
sued the following statement on the
Tonopah Divide mine:
From October 13, 1918, to July
1, 1919, there has been shipped
1904 dry tons of ore of a gross
value of $27.SS per ton. AS there
has been little stopqng in the mine
most of this ore came from develop
ment throughout the mine. 1t rep
resents a fair average value of the
ore the mine may be expected to
produce. The average of all samples
, taken across full widths of the vein
indicate the average width of the
vein to be 211a feet, and the aver
age value of the ore to be $3.50
per ton.
1.-The question will naturally arise
as to the probable tonnage the mine
may produce and the value OF the
ore; to this question | would reply
that the mine has not been suffi-
GENTLY developed to measu the ore
reserves. but, as a matter of specu-
lation, the openings now existing
in the mine. if taken to represent
the true average over a width of
