Among the not many things about which
there has been what seemed like absolute
unanirnity of opinion and belief was the proper
behavior Of man caught out in 3 binding
snowstorm and unable to find his way home or
to other shelter. Everybody has said, and it has
been printed innumerable times in innumerabie
books magazines, and newspapers that he
should keep moving in order to keep warm
that if he sat down, and especially if he went to
sleep, that would be the end of him, for he
certainly would freeze to death.
And now along comes VilhjalmuT Stefanson
with the calm assertion that this belief Is ut
terly wrongl The man caught out in a blizzard,
he says, should stop the moment he finds that
he has lost the sense of direction. He should
make himself some sort of snow house if cir
cumstances permit; if they do not he should set
down with his back to the wind, rest his head
on his knees and go to sleep, and wait for the
storm to blow over.
That, at any rate, Is what the Eslcimos In
variably do when they find themselves in such
a situation, and it is what is done by wise white
travellers in the arctic. And when they are
correctly dressed they do not freeze to death
nor do they suffer any particular severe hard
ship from the cold.-New York Times.

the more dangerous on that account.
The Ogre came directly toward the
tree behind which Peggy and Billy
were hiding. Peggy felt Billy's fists
clench as he prepared to fight IL the
Ogre should find them, and she
wondered what a boy, no matter how
brave, could do against an Ogre with
a gun.
But the Ogre didn't see them. He
went on into the grove and they
could hear him as he searched
around, evidently looking for the
Wild Geese. After time the Ogre
came back past the children, and
they noticed that in addition to his
gun he carried an armful of dried
sticks. He walked down the hill and
turned into a little valley. After a
few minutes, the children saw a red
light and heard the cracking of a
fire.
HE is going to camp there"
whispered Billy. Lets creep up
closer and take a look" Still hold

Oxford, Neb, March 10.-To the
Editor of The Bee: President VIII
son, speaking against criticism of
the league constitution, said "They
do not make any impression on me
because I know there is no medium
that will transmit them" Did he
mean that the press was to be muz-
zled that the peoples voice could not
be heard, or was he referring to the
fact that he had put the crimp on
congressional discussion of the
league? If the league is a good thing
for our people to enter into why all
this hush business? Are we to have
no determination whether we
desire to put our government under
the control of an international COM
mittee?
There are thousands Of good loyal
citizens who believed our president
erred when he left our capital to
make his abode in Paris. They hold
that when the 80 days armistice was
signed that his first duty was to in
sist on an immediate peace treaty
and the return to their homes of the
soldiers who were conscripted for
the one purpose of conquering Ger
many.
Why should senators be con-
demned and their honesty question
ed because they proclaim the dan
gers of the league as they see them?
Why should they be charged with
playing politics more than they that
are exerting every influence they can
bring to bear to make the people
see the dangers that they believe
await them If they do not accept
the constitution without question or
debate? Signing up for our govern
ment to become godfather to all the
little governments that are, and are
to be created in the world, is too
serious a question for political play.
1t is also wrong to work upon the
peoples aversion to war for league
support which is on par with the
kept us out of war; slogan. This
constitution should never be tackled
on the peace treaty as a rider in
hopes of logrolling It through the
senate, but should have the careful
consideration of every citizen in the
union. It is not enough that Eng
land wants us to accept this consti-
tuition, or that France, Belgium and
Italy will be disappointed If we do
not sign it, neither should we accept
it because our two greatly admired
statesmen representing the two great
political parties are for 1t. The de-
Gliding factor should be, do the peo-
pie thoroughly understand the obi
cations of this league and do they
wish to subscribe to it?
There Should not be another
moments delay in making a. peace
treaty and releasing our soldiers to
their homes. They have written on
the scrolls of fame that Americans
are not too proud to fight, and when
they do fight that the boys fresh
from the farms and the shops can
match the life trained war expert
enced soldiers of the greatest mill
tary government on the globe. They
have nobly performed the work they
were called to do and should be re-
lieved at the earliest possible mo-
ment. A. G. RANKIN.

ing Peggy by the hand. he went eau.
tiously forward until they came TO
the top of the rock. overhanging the
valley. Lying on this rock they
could look down directly into the
camp which the Ogre had pitched
Here they had q surprise, the Ogre
was not alone.
There are two OF them, Just
alike!" whispered Peggy. and her
heart sank. It,was hard enough to
try to save the Wild Geese from one
ogre, but how could they outwit two
such monsters?
Then the first Ogre did q funny
thing. He stretched in front
OF the FIRE, raised his hands,
and-took his funny head
right of, goggls eyes and all.
And at the same time he opened up
his furry skin and stepped out OF II.
Peggy's eyes nearly popped out with
amazement, and for a moment she
was so stunned she couldn't breathe.
A surprised chuckle from Billy
caused her to take a quick second
look at the Ogre, and what she saw
made her sink back with q giggle OF
relief. The Ogre's head was just a
big aviator's helmet, and the furry
skin was Just a coat. Out Of them
stepped q shrewd-looking man,
whiskered and specialized.
IT couldn't find the Wild Geese"
said the Ogre, but we will surely
pick them up tomorrow, and then
I will kill that beautiful Blue Goose
for my collection"
The other Ogre was now getting
out Of his helmet and coat and he
proved TO be the pilot Of the air
plane.
"You seem awfully anxious to get
that Blue Goose, professor" he re-
marked.
ut is a perfect specimen" de-
clared the flying Ogre. 'And so is
that handsome gander leading the
flock. Him, too, will kill after he
has led his flock north and we have
learned all the secrets of It's flight.
All. ha! shall be more famous
than ever after this trip. No other
naturalist before has thought to
study the habits of migrating birds
by following them with an air
plane-no other naturalist has gath
cred so much knowledge for a thrill
ing book-no other naturalist has
secured so many fine specimens as
/ shall kill for my museum"
Billy looked at Peggy with startled
eyes.
"a scientist!" he whispered, land
he wants to kill both the King of the
Wild Geese and the beautiful Blue
Goose for his museum. 1t will be
a harder Job saving them from him
than If he were only a common
Ogre"

Too Careful?
You
Can't Be!


You can't be too careful in keep
ing your bowels open and your sys-
tenn clean from the poisons that con-
stipation causes. A system full Of
poison is sure to bring on trouble.
At the first sign of constipation,
use a thorough laxative.
Your druggist has a preparation
called SALINoS, which is thorough
in its action, pleasant in taste, and
in use. It will completely empty
the bowels, including the lower
bowel, where most poisons are
formed. It's remarkably good for
children-and for old folks, too.
Get bottle. Use it frequently.
Be safe.-Adv.

MISSIONARIES
 SACRIFICED MUCH

St. Louis, May 17-Instances in which Presbyterian missionaries in foreign lands sometimes sacrificed their erty while engaged in their work in l behalf of the oppressed nationalities during the war are related in the an nual report of the Board of Foreign Missions to the Presbyterian church presented today to the Presbyterian General Assembly.
 Many missionaries died as a result of the diseases contracted in the fa- mine work in Persia,' says the report. The mission work saved many other thousands. In Northwestern Persia the Kurds and the Turks drove S0,000 people in ponic fright. Dr. A. W. Shedd a Presbyterian missionary, who ac- companied the refugees. died on the journey victim of cholera, as he was seeking to protect the fleeing peo- pie from their enemies in the rear. Dr. w. s. Vanneman and Dr, F. N. Jessup, Presbyterian missionaries in Tabriz. were imprisoned by the Turks, and their buildings footed.
 Death in all forms is reported by the Board as reaping 8 terrible har- vest in Syria and Palestine. Dr. Will liam S. Nelson and Charles Dana were jailed without food or water for sev- eral days for their relief work which offended the Turks. The Syrian relief work revealed indescribable misery. A father stole food given to his 1it- tie child until the child died of star vation. Women lured children to their homes, killed them, ate their flesh boiled the fat and sold it in the mar ket place.
 Concerning Korea the report says: The missionaries are in. a position of great delicacy. If they avow sympathy with the Koreans they incur the wrath of Japan and the danger of expul- sion from the country. If on the other hand, they avow Sympathy with the Japanese, they destroy their influence with the Koreans" The board tells also of complications caused by the Japanese demanding the separation of eductation and religion in mission IS well as in government schools. problem which is not yet adjusted.
 Concerning Latin America the board finds mot for a generation has the feeling toward the United States been so sympathetic and kindly as it is to- day." In India the board reports not able loyalty and order, but "deep In- dercurrenst which no one is able to estimate" 'Politically." 1t adds, there is sure to be an increasing measure of autonomy"
 A summary of the work of the for eign mission says: ''The Presbyterians have in the field 1,346 foreign mission aries and 6,SO6 native workers in 16 countries and 3,s32 cities of the non- Christian world. The Presbyterian congregations in this field number 4,521 with 177,766 communicants and 449,277 adherents; 189. hospitals and dispensaries treated 787,618 patients
