The Honors To WhItefeId

Few ceremonies have occurred in
Philadelphia recently that have had
the happy and appropriate surround
ings and the deep significance that
belongs to the unwilling of the monu-
ment to the great colonial preacher
George Whitefield, the founder of
Methodism i'm America, on the univer-
sity campus yesterday. The noble
statue by DR.. r. TAFT Mckenzie and
its location among the splendid build
ings of the university bring home
to all the inspiring fact that the uni
vefsity, directly physically and indi-
rectly spiritually, was the result of
the interest of Whitefeld in establish
ing schools and churches in America
and that the evangelist should be
honored as an evangelist and an Ok
ford man by the great university that
spirit of Whitefield plus. the active
and practical scheme Of Benjamin
Franklin is one Of the most inter
esting. examples of poetic justice TO
a great name There is room for
Whitefield on the campus, and many
osher great figures Of colonial days
The kind of civilization that White
field worked for has been more than
realized in the schools and colleges
and universities of the country as
well as in the church which he help
ed to found and which keeps Amer
lean life sweet and ciean, since ii
stands by the great Whitefield essen
tial that personal religion shall spell
conduct. The Methodist Episcopal
Church and the university and the
sculptor have all joined in memorial
that should have healing in its wings
as a symbol, for it brings back the
past that has everything of meaning
for the present; the day of small
things indeed but full of promise
for glorious future of free men and
free churches and free education as
the basis of a high civilization

INDIA HOME or TREE FERN
In That Country the Plant Attains the
Dignity Of . Splendid, Full
Grown Tree.

When we visit a botanical garden
and behold specimens of palms and
Germs so luxuriant that their crowns
nearly touch the glass-domed conserv-
atory. we rarely pause to realize
that in their native haunts these trop-
zeal plants are trees. AT Darjeeling,
India, for instance, is the tree fern
found I'm its greatest glory. The first
few miles Of the 2-foot gauge railway
journey from Calcutta passes through
a dense jungle, with vegetation OF
tropical luxuriance. Grass is 10 feet
deep. cane stalks rise 30 and 60 feet
high. while from the feathery foliage
of the tree fern peacocks and birds
of-paradise lift their naughty heads
I'm their topmost fronds. As one rum
bles along in the little first-class car
riage which weighs under two tons.
he realizes that the tree fern and all
the other luxuriant foliage in this inn
penetrable jungle, shields the home
OF the tiger, rhlnoceros, panther and
wild hog.
There are no tree ferns I'm the Unit
ed States, but 30 specimens or more
are found I'm the higher attitudes of
the West Indies, and many more oc-
cur I'm other tropical regions. In some
portions of the mountains of Jamaica,
tree ferns form half or more of the
forced vegetation. their trunks vary
ing from 6 TO 80 feet in height.

Vicious Eur-nearina Animals.

So marked is the tendency of many
fur-bearing animals TO wholesale de-
struction of life that the work of the
trappers who catch them and kill them
for their pelts doubtless saves a far
greater number of animals than IL
slays. One marten is likely TO kill
hundreds of harmless creatures in a
single year. -.sf
If a multitude of birds and small
beasts of the forests and the fields
could have their viii they would unr
questionable urge the trappers to
greater exertions. They would wish
the present demand for furs stimulate
ed to even more imperative eagerness
TO wear the skins of ferocious little
Killers. And big ones. too, for leopards
and civet cats have their place in the
fur trade.-Exchange

NOT TROUBLED BY JEALOUSY
Social and Domestic Customs Among
the Eskimos Are Simple and Eas-
lily Arranged.

An American missionary is the au-
thority for the following description
of social and domestic customs that
prevail in certain part of the arctic
regions: If a woman is childless, she
often asks her husband TO select an
other wife, so that the home may be
blessed with children. She has no
jealousy toward her rival, for her hus-
band generally treats both with equal
respect The system of polygamy
works both ways, for some, Eskimos
adhere to the single standard. In a
tribe where there are more men than
women. a woman may often be al
lowed a second husband, provided she
has the approval of her first husband.
and her love for some unmarried man
does not necessarily lessen her re-
gard for her husband. who may be old
or weak. and hence poor provider.
A younger man may prove real as
set to the family Even If 1t is n case
Of simple infatuatiOn, no deception is
practiced. The Eskimo woman reveals
her feelings to her husband, who, If
the lover is worthy, rarely refuses his
consent for bis wife TO go away with
this rival for a certain length of time.
If the man happens to have q wife OF
his own, the abandoned husband will
often propose to his wife that she ar
range matters with the wife of her
lover, so there will be mutual ex-
change of spouses for time.

REPEAL WAR STATUTES

A challenge TO the Republican
majority oftthe House to bring
in resolutions repeating war leg
islation, instead of "camouflag-
ing" by the adoption of peace
resolutions which are unconstitu-
tional, was made in a stirring
speech by Representative Tom
Connolly. of Texas.
Representative Connally re-
ferred to the disorganization ex-
listing in Republican ranks and
asserted that Representative
Mondell, the G.. O. p. floor lead
er, "wears a crown of paper"
"What you are interested in is
not the repeal of these wartime
statutes. but the creation in the
public mind of the belief that you
want them repealed" said MIR.
Connally. IF you want them re-
pealed, simply introduce a reso-
luton. 1t can pass the House
and pass the Senate"
Representative Connally re
ferred to the Presidents veto of
the Knox peace resolution. You
knew the President under his
oath of office is required to veto
that resolution" he said. why
do you make this pretense of thus
repeating war measures? You
do not want them repealed. Why.
do you repeal them? Why
do YOU not bring in repeating
resolution? You have had a full
year in which to repeal war mea-
sures. You chose, instead of
bringing in resolutions repeating
these measures one by one, or by
bringing in joint resolution re-
pealing them all. to try to keep
the country under the fiction or
belief that. you were hampercd
by the President; that you were
prevented by the President from
resuming pre-war conditions, and
from going back to prewar legis-
lation All. you may try to fool
yourself. but you will not fool
the American people, because
even laymen know that any piece
of legislation which can be en-
acted by Congress can be re
pealed by Congress-"

CRITICISM NOT POPULAR

There is growing doubt that
the Republican leaders will at
tempt to make criticism of con
duct of the war one of the cam
paign issues. their hesitation be
ing due to the discovery that the
country has not approved of the
activities of the Smelling com
mittees' authorized by the g. o.
p. Congress.
There has been very little re-
Spouse to the reports of these in
vestigating committees. and even
a portion of the Republican press
has condemned dragnet investi-
cations designed merely to make
political capital and try to find
fraud. So far none of the smell
ing committees" has named a
single person guilty of fraud in
connection with the letting OF
thousands of war contracts, in

Horse once Revereneed.

The sacrifice of horses character
lied the Scandinavian and Teutonic
cults, whilst Tacltus tells us that the
Germans sought omens and monitions
from white horses kept at the public
expense in sacred woods and GROVES,
nure from the faint of earthly labor,
but that on solemn occasions these
were yoked to the sacred chariot and
were accompanied by the king or
chief of the tribe and the priest, who
noted their neighings and snortings,
ana that no species or dlvination was
more trusted. not only by the people
and the mobiles, but by the priests
who regarded themselves as the min
listers Of the gods and the horses as
acquainted with their will. IT has
been commonly believed, though on
insufficient evidence. that the Saxon
invaders Of Britain bore banners blaz-
oned with white horse. @i9ii Il

BEAUTIFUL IN ITS CoLoRING
Green warbfer Remarkable Even.
Among American Birds for the
Goroeousness of Its Plumage.

Some birds get very nervous and be-
come much excited if you approach
their nests, and among them is the
black-throated green warbler, says the
American Forestry association. An
other thing about this bird is that 1t
frequently builds several nests.
Whether this Is because IL changed its
mind after building the first one and
decided to select better location or
with the deliberate purpose of deceiv-
Ing any intruders who might come
along is not known. The bird is very
beautifully colored, the top of its head
an6 the region nearly down to the
shoulders being a yellow green, the
baes olive green. the throat and breast
jct black and the under parts white
with some yellow in them at times.
III you are out bird hunting and are
looking for that member of the warbler
knswn as the pine warbler, you will
.b,s most likely to find It, as the name
Implies, in a pine grove. In fact 1t Is
seldom found outside of such localities.
The bird is rather quiet in Its man
ncrs and does not move about from
Que spot to another with as much
fuss as do many birds. Like the
creeper 4: has the habit of creeping
about among the branches of. the trees.
1t IS grccnish yellow above and
brighter below, with two white wing
bars AID w;th white spots on its outer
til! feathers.
