KNOWN AS WITCAcRaFT TUWN
Old Salem. Mass. Has Never Been
Able to Live Down the Much
Disliked Name.

Salem Is nationally known as the
witchcraft town OF history, title
which It has been trying TO live down
for 200 years. Fortunately for Salem,
the terror OF witchcraft inquisition is
fading from memory.
Invariably the visitor comes to Sa-
lem with the idea of witches firmly
fixed in his mind. but the oaly evidence
OF their existence that he can find is
tiepin bearing tiny witch astride a
broomstick. Besides buying witch
adorned souvenirs. which Salem pro-
yides to meet the demands of visitors.
there are other ways OF satisfying
witch-hunting ambitions.
To person already keyed to high
pitch by vague recOllectfons OF witch
days Salem on a frosty moonlight
night seems to slip back a century or
so into the solemn superstitious little
Puritan town, where one must think
several times before making the most
casual remark lest i1-be construed as
evidence of friendly dealings with the
devil.
Over by the cemetery the tombstones
of the witch accusers CLEAN ghostly in
the moonlight. 1t seems plausible that
any Of those venerable judges Of 1892
might glide suddenly into view and
stroll with dignity down the street
or that Mistress Sarah Good or Eliza
beth How should appear and ask stern
ly if it was your ancestor that labeled
her witch.
Out on Gallows hill, too, there is
atmosphere" undiluted. Here 10 IN
convicted of witchcraft met
their fate before Puritan common
sense overcame Puritan fanaticism.
Gallows hill is monument to Salem's
darkest days.

TWO Hundred Years 400.

"And herein it is that take upon me
TO make such a bold assertion that all
the world are mistaken in their prac-
tIce about women; for 1 cannot think
that God Almighty made them e.

souls capable of the same accomplish

in its climax sounds somewhat as If it

cent book on English literature, some
two hundred years ago. by Daniel

A Stranger in the Woods.

Years ago, when quite youth, l
was rambling in the woods one Sun
day with my brothers, gathering black
birch, wintergreens, etc, when, as we
recllned upon the ground. gazing vague
ly up into the trees, caught sight Of
a bird that paused a moment on a
branch above me, the like Of which
had never before seen or heard Of.
1t was probably the blue yellow-back-
ed warbler, as have since found this
to be 4 common bird in those woods !;
but to. my young fancy 1t seemed like
some fairy bird, so curiOusly marked
was 1t, and so new and unexpected.
1t seemed like an integral part Of the
green beech woods. l saw it mo-
ment as the Pickering leaves parted,
noted the white spot in It's wing, and
1t was gone. How the thought of 1t
chung to me afterward! 1t was a rev.
citation. It was the first intimation 1
had. had that the woods we knew so
we'll held birds that we knew not at
all.-John Burroughs.

EASY TO SEE ONES BRAIN
Scientist Asserts That All That is
Necessary Is a Candle and
Some Perseverance.

slave you ever seen your braln?''
is not such an outlandish question as
one might suppose. In fact, it is quite
possible to see ones own brain, accord
ing to DR.. Fraser Halle, says London
Tit-Bits.
Many years ago Purklnge startled
the scientific world by announcing that
by passing a candle to and fro several
times by the side of the eye, this might
be done. The air in front, he declared
was transformed into a kind of screen
on which was reflected what he sup
posed to be a magniiied image Of part
of the retina.
This started a research movement
among the scientists of the period, and
controversy began.
Sir G. Wheatstone thought the pro-
fessOr was slightly out OF his bearings.
He declared that what the latter had
seen was merely the shadow of the
vascular network.
Then DR.. Fraser Halle returned to
the attack, and stated that he had sue
ceeded in identifying the picture with
the representation of the anterior lobe
Of the cerebrum."
The candle should be moved to and
fro about four inches below the eye
and three and a quarter inches from
the face. If the movement is suspend
ed the image disappears. Night is
the best time for this experiment, but
it can be seen family, in any dark
place even in the daytime.

ExtermInatino Pests.

Uncle Sam employs approximately
300 professional trappers and hunters
to assist western stockmen In exter-
minatlng wild predatory animals from
the range country. These hunters
have killed 7O,713 predatory animals
In the last three years, which has re-
suited in direct saving estimated at
nearly 5h million dollars a year TO
the stOCkmen Of the Rocky Mountain
section. The total kill consisted of
6O,473 coyotes, 1904 bobcats, 1929
wolves, POI mountain lions and 1877
bears. The pelts of the animals kill
ed were sold for approximately 500,
600, which, of course, is Of consider

killed by trapping and shooting, great
numbers of coyotes have been killed
by the carefully organized poisoning
campaigns conducted by the biological
survey.

The mountains of TyrOl shelter one

The mountain TyrOlese are robust
Woodworking folk. Life In the noun

until after dark. Then, on winter
nights, the TyrOlese peasants play.
Dancing is favorlte amusement
after the days work, and this is all
the more surprising because the dances
of TyrOl are more strenuous than those
of Russia or Poland. To swing your
partner up to the ceiling, and to fall
down and spring up again without us

While the dancing couple excitedly
swing and caper, the others sing and
play the either, the favOrite TyrOlese
musical instrument. Original songs
are In high favor, and also the old
folk songs of princes and peasants,
shepherdesses and huntsmeH. The
peasants sing Justify and we'll. Only a
realization of tomorrOw's work puts an
end to the affair, and sends guests

SOUTH OUT OF SADDLE.

An analysis of the state of commit
tee chairmanships of the next house,
as framed by the Republican commit
tee on committees, shows the transfer
of power from the south to the north,
with the middle west exercising the
dominant influence.
Whereas nearly all of the important
chairmanships, during the Democratic
regime, were held by the south, only
two states south of the Ohio river
Kentucky and Tennessee, will figure
in the list this time. These two states
will have one minor Craftsmanship
each. ,,~-~
The chairmanships of seven of the
ten principal committees will be held
by representatives from the four mid.
die western states of Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Michigan. Two of the
remaining three go to Pennsylvania
and one to California. PENNSYLVANIA
leads the list of states in the number
of chairmanships with eight. Illinois
is second with seven, but none OF
these is a major Craftsmanship.

ASKS RACE EQUALITY,

Action by the peace conference to
eliminate race prejudice, which he
termed "a fruitful source of discon-
tent and uneasiness among nations in
the past" was urged by Viscount Ishii,
Japanese ambassador to the United
States, speaking before the Japan So
ciety here tonight.
Nothing would contribute more eff
fectively to the foundation of perma-
nent peace, he declared, than appli-
cation of proper remedy, Eat this op-
perfume moment" to this cause of in
ternational discord." The constitution
Of league of nations, he added, would
not be worthy of the conference if it
omitted a provision to right the "con-
spicuous injustice" arising out of pre-
JUDGE between the races.
Viscount Ishii urged the right of the
Asiatics, "who fought side by side
with the Anglo-Saxons, Latins. and
Slavs against the common foe," to
equal consideration among the allied
peoples.
1.-THE single minded object of the
war;" said the ambassador, was the
of international Justice
and the establishment of durable
peace. No consideration of racial feel
ing entered into the supreme decision
for the sacrifices of blood and treasure
on the part of any Of the allied or
associated powers.
And now, when this war for inter-
justice is about to come to it's
happy termination and when the
world league for permanent peace is
being contrived, why should this ques-
ton of his race prejudice, race discrim-

PAID FOR PULcHRlTUDE.

How about this: Discharged soldiers
receive a bonus Of $50 and girls re-
tanned in Government service receive
bonus of $24O with a big increase in
salaries. Does the government owe
these girls more than it does the men
who faced death in France? AS one
soldier says: washington keeps it's
girls and the soldier keeps his uniform
because he cannot buy a suit" Such
a condition should.be remedied at the
next session of Congress. Bills have
already been prepared to give the men
years pay, and other ADVANTAGES,
If the government can afford a s24O
bonus for it's girl war workers it can
afford substantial bonus for the men
who won the war. Think it over!

war, the Jews have once and for all
shattered the base aspersions of the
anti-Semites, who charged them with
being aliens in every land, incapable
Of true patriotism, and prompted only
by sinister and self-seeking motives"
It says that those who would seek
the establishment of a Jewish sover-
eign state and yet "insist on their
patriotic attachment to the countries
of which they are citizens, are self
deceived in their professions of Zion-
ism, and under spell Of emotional
romanticism or of a religious senti-
ment fostered through centuries of
gloom"
If the Jews representing to a great
extent the leadership in commerce
and industry and the money power of
the World are opposed to ''jimcrow'
state, why should not colored men pro-
test against segregation in every
form?
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1919-04-05

the colored people should give one
penny to aid the Methodist Episcopal
Church until it reverses it's present
jimcrow policy.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
split into two branches over the ques-
ton of slavery, but now the Northern
and Southern branches are to come
together again at the centenary. The
weakened Northern men have given
in to the aggressive Southerners and
have agreed to sacrifice their colored
members who have been asked to
form a jim crow church. So far the
colored members have refused to get
out, but they may perhaps be kicked
out.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
given up all ideas of the Brotherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of Man."
and at the centenary it is very likely
that the brethren will recount the
wonderful thing the church has done
for 1.-THE negro" and all will join in
singing Onward, Christian Soldier"
