HIGH JUMPING

The transatlantic flyers have broken all records as high
jumpers. They found it necessary at times to jump up four or
five miles in order to clear cloud banks that could not be pene-
trated with safety. Marvellous featl At such an altitude and
with nothing but the sameness of the circumambient ether all
around, the feelings of the aviators can be imagined. They were
going at the rate of 100 miles an hour, with no objective that they
could see or sense in any other way. There was no here and no
there, One place or direction was the same as another to them.
But, after all, is this not a pretty accurate picture OF human
life? We are all travelling, some faster, some slower, and we have
no objective that the eye OF the flesh can see. The eye of faith
discerns the destination and clouds just as the eye OF science
enabled the aviators to see their destinations and steer true for
them through an element that was without object or other guide.

Prehistoric ESkimos
Found in Arctic Ice

Seattle, Wash-Discovery of pre-
historic Eskimos, their dwellings and
implements, preserved under three
feet of ice and earth near Barrow,
farthest north point Of civilization in
Alaska, was announced Sunday night
by w. B. Van Vain, field expert of
the University of Pennsylvania, on his
arrival in Seattle from Nome after
two years exploration.
Mr.. Van Valin brought with him
bodies of Eskimos he found preserved
from decay in the ice, also hundreds
of skulls and large quantity of i'm
plements and clothing gathered DIT Bar
row. He expressed the belief that the
village had been hidden thousands of
years. No legend of modern Eskimos
shed light on the antiquity of the
village, he says. The fact that he
found glacier under the village leads
Mr.. Van Valin to believe the people
lived after the glacial period.
The bodies were in good condition
and most of them had dark hair, dis
proving the claim that the aborigines
of the north were blonde people. The
clothing worn was chiefly bearskins
and not like that worn by the Eskimos
of today.

BOLSHEVIKI LOSE CAPITAL
Fall of Petrograd Officially Announced
-KrOnstadt Also Given Up.

Washington, d. C.SThe fall of Petro-
grad and the occupancy Of both that
city and the fortress of Kronstadt by
the Russion anti-bolshevik forces has
been reported officially by the gen
eral staff of the Finnish army to the
Viborg representative of the northwest
government of Russia. This informa-
ton reached the state department Sun
day night.
In making public the departments
advices, Acting Secretary Phillips said
that a direct dispatch, dated Sunday
and received here from the depart
ment's representative nearest the old
Russian capital, reported that the
Finnish official announcement had not
been corroborated from other sources.
The announcement crediting the
Finnish general staff as authority was
dated Saturday. 1t came from Viborg
and quoted unconfirmed reports to the
department through Swedish and Rus
sian sources that Petrograd and Kron-
stadt had been wrested from the boil
sheviki by the beleaguering forces of
General Yudenitch, that with the fall
of Gatchina fortress, 35 miles out from
Petrograd on the way to Berlin, the
collapse of the old capital was newt
able and that the bolsheviki were con-
centrating all their troops for a de-
cisive struggle with General Denikines
forces in the south.

Recreation, as Well as
Relaxation, Is Necessary
to the Happiness of

We need breathing spells in life
bigger issues just as we need them in
out routine work. No one may work
continuously without some period of
relaxation, and in the same way no
one may bear up under heavy RESPONSE
bilities unless he is able at times to
forget them, observes the Charleston
News and Courier. That is why recrea-
ton as well as relaxation is necessary
to the happiness of US all. There is
something within US, something that
calls to US, as it were, in no uncertain
tones to lay down our problems occa-
sionally and try to divert our minds
from them. If we are forced to live
with those big crushing responsible
ties, that weigh us down at every turn,
that are never far away from US, that
keep step with us in our daily walk,
we shall miss much of the better,
brighter part of life. Every one has
the right to live his own life in the
way which he thinks will be best for
him, and it is a hard blow OF fate
which robs him of that right. Yet this
is done more often in life than we
realize, and one Of the worst Of our
disappointments is to be forced to sur
render the privilege Of controlling our
own lives as far as 1t is in our human
power to do so. Because certain re-
sponsibilities are forced upon us we
are often compelled to abandon the
road which stretches SO invitingly
ahead and to seek another path,
rough and hard to walk upon, full of
obstacles and barren of those things
that perhaps have meant the very wine
Of life to us.

Food Prices to Drop 2
Per Cent in Month

Washington, d. Good prices are
on the decline, the department of la
boris bureau of labor statistics an
nounced Sunday night in a statement
asserting that the retail price of 20
staple foodstuffs showed a decline of
2 per cent at the end of September,
as compared with the last of August
The decrease, based on statistics
from all parts of the country, is the
first to be recorded since the world
war began, with the exception of a
decline in June, when the food was
five-tenths of 1 per cent cheaper than
in May. The price of the 20 staple
foodstuffs, however, is still SO per cent
above the average price for the same
food in 1913.
Five cities of the country failed to
enjoy the slight decline, while in
Detroit prices were lowered per
cent.
Onions and potatoes showed the
greatest price decline, of II and IA
per cent, respectively. Cabbage, meat,
cheese, flour and sugar also were low.
er. Raisins went up per cent dur
ing the month and were followed in a
climb of greater or less degree by rice,
eggs, salmon, butter, beans. canned
vegetables, coffee and cornmeal.
