to Dr. Fraser that they enter hos
pital and each receive inoculation
Of highly contagious disease germs,
such as typhoid, diphtheria, menin-
gifts, tuberculosis and smallpox. AS
armor against the germs DR.. Hill
would use scientific antltoXin and
vaccination. DR.. Fraser would use
only natural therapeutics fresh
air, pure water and food-as his
immunizers. After receiving the
germs they would settle back in
their cots with d good book and
await results.
All of these proposals satisfied DR..
Zettel He was willing to enter the
duel under Dr. Hills own conditions.
He even had few extra suggestions
to make himself. Leprosy seemed to
him a mighty fine disease for the
duel He also proposed that the sur
vivor be honorary pallbearer at the
victim funeral.
News of the duel became public
and the authorities hustled to their
law books to see where the matter
stood in a legal way. The health
officials announced that if either of
the doctors contracted a contagious
disease he would be placed in quar-
antine. This did not in the least
disturb the equanimity of the prin-
cipals, for they planned voluntarily
to enter an isolation hospital to
await developments after inocula
ton. Then the county attorney
popped one that Jared them both:
if either of the doctors inoculated
the other and death resulted
charge of manslaughter would be
prosecuted DR.. Hill had visions Of
gray stone walls and cold, iron bars.
For a time he lost all his ambition
to be a duellist, but his spirits rose
again with the arrival of the germ
of a great idea. Each doctor would
inoculate himself. There could be
no objection to that. The authorities
said they would make no attempt
to stop the contest.

Geneva, June 22-The most diabolical
of all measures conceived by the bolshe-
visit rulers of Russia to perpetuate their
domination is their systematic corruption
of coming generations to undermine and
destroy family life. To estrange children
from their parents by encouraging them
in unlimited indulgence Of idleness and
pleasure, to inculcate brutal and mater
ialistic principles in the receptive minds
of young boys and girls is the surest
method, the soviet dictators think, to Sc
cure the duration of bolshevism. The
tragedy of Russian children was describ-
ed to me a few days ago by Swiss wo-
man school teacher who has just arrived
here from Russia after residence of IL
years in Moscow.
Like all branches Of the soviet ad-
ministration the department for public
instruction in Moscow has two faces to
the outer world. 1t presents placid
aspect of progressive socialism and mod
ern-pedagogic ideals calculated to i'm
press foreign intellectuals favorably for
Russia; it is a political machine driven
by and engendering tyranny, cruelty and
corruption. Lunacharsky, cOmmissary
for public instruction. is consummate

Besides the discomfort of the working
man with the Ebert government, 1t has
added force against 1t now-the tie
heimrats. The government issued an edict
that no more titles be bestowed IN re-
publican Germany. This did not hurt
the feelings of the princes. harons and
other kinds of nobility because they re
signed hope when the kaiser packed his
ROYALTY into a suit case and fled TO HOT

the geheimrats who are boiling with

Geheimrat Schwartz has right to sit
