Europe,s PLAQUE spot

Around the 14-mlc-long glrdle Of
massive walls which Constantine
raised around his capital, the
breakers Of war seldom ceased to hurl
themselves. Twenty.six times the
city was besieged-by Pcrsans and
Avars, by Russians, Latins and Turks.
Six times the Saraccns flung their hosts
against It; and eight times 1t fell into
tho enemy's hands, and was laid waste
with fire and sword and pillage.
Three times the Turks laid seige to
1t; and the third time, in 1853, Mo.
hnmmed II made 1t his own after
fierce and stubborn resistance. From
that day to our own ConstantihoDle
has remained in Turkish hands--the
plague-spot Of Europe

About Bread.

Bread Is the staff Of life, but few Of
us know why certain kinds Of bread
make more sturdy staff than other
kinds. An expert has stated that II
whole wheat bread had been eaten and
white bread forbidden, the pre- sent
national decay Of teeth would never
have happened. Flour made from the
whole grain has twice the protein and
only third OF the water in ordinary
"white" flour. Bread Is such an excel.
lent food because but Az per cent OF
It's solids escape absorption by the
body. If milk were drunk with bread
practically every crumb would be alb
sorbed in nutriment Ordinary white
bread contains 40 per cent Of water.

made up Of protein (the basis Of lifc).

Mature Kind to Snake.

A queer African species of snake,
which lives on eggs, has tooth-like
spike projecting downward from Its
backbone, just behind the head, which
is tipped with enamel. When 1t swal-
lows an egg the latter passes down the
gullet until 1t encounters the spike,
which breaks the shell. Thus no part
of t!.e slid contents is, lost, rs would
be the case If the snake were obliged
TO bite the egg with It's mopth-fangs.

Tom Mix, it is said has accom-

film hero has succeeded in doing-he
has surpassed Tox Mix
This is stupendous feat, as the
thousands Of fans whom he has
thrilled by his peerless daring in
such superb Fox productions as "The
Speed Maniac" and The Feud" will
attest. Reports from places where
this picture has been shown declare
that Mix grips the Imagination of his
audiences and whips their blood to
|mountain torrent velocity by his dis
play Of courage and agility
Tho story of '"rhc Cyclone" which
is tale Of the Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police, deals with series Of
stirring episodes leading up to a
stunt climax that shows the cow
puncher star at his best. This ultra
stunt was undertaken by the actor and
his director after considerable dclib-
Grafton. Mix rejected every modiiica-
tion suggested with a view to his per-
sonal safety, and insisted upon en-
acting the crowniny episode in all its
magnificent daring.
Colleen Moore plays opposite Mix
as tho coveted girl and is a beautiful
very feminine prize for his very mas
culine prOwess.

ally strong. as It necessarily must be

Henry Defense
Outlined After
Police Testify
Cochran Holds Prosecutor
Must Prove Inspector
Had Evidence .Justifying
Arrests Over His Head
Jury Chosen i'm an Hour
DAILY and Detectives Who
Took Part in Vice Raids
on Stand as Trial Opens

The trial of Police Inspector Dom
mick Henry, charged with neglect of
| duty in failing to suppress disorderly
houses in the Fourth Inspection Dis
trict, began yesterday before Judge
Malone and a jury in General Sessions.
Two detectives attached to Chief In
spcctor John Daly's headquarters staff
testified concerning numerous vice ar
rests, followed by convictions, they
had made in Henry's bailiwick.
Nothing had been adduced up to the
time court adjourned for the day, how
ever, to show that Henry could have
secured the evidence upon which these
convictions were obtained.
This, according to w. Bourke Cock
ran, counsel with William l.. Murphy
for the accused inspector, will be the
backbone Of his defense. Mr.. Cochran
said he would contend. that in order to
find his client guilty, the prosecution
must prove not merely that the in
spcctcr failed 20 stamp out vice, bu,
that he was in possession Of facts
which would have justified asking war
rants for the places raided by Daly's
men.
120 Arrests to Be Aired
Assistant District Attorney James E.
Smith, who is conducting the prosccu-
tion, put Patrolmen Thomas Bannon
and Andrew Cummings, members of
Inspector Daly's staff, on the stand.
They testified to the arrest and con-
victon of fifteen women. The indict-
ment against Henry enumerates 120
cases, all between January 1, 1918,
when Henry took command of the dis
fri rf Eo
indicted and suspended.
Mr.. Smith announced he would call
about ten more of Dalys men, thus
getting into the record the details OF
each of the 120 cases. This phase of
the case alone may take up two or
three days
The defense scored point near the
end Of Patrolman Cummngss testi-
mony yesterday. He had told of fol-
lowing man and woman to the Cos
mos Hotel, 1902 West Forty-fourth
Street. in October, 1919, and arresting
the woman, who was found guilty. He
said he visited the place on similar
crrand in November and again arrested
a woman.
"Dld you notice anything unusual in
the hotel when you went there the sec
ond time?" Mr.. Cochran asked. "Was
there a policeman in uniform on duty
there 2"
Cummings replied in the affirmative
and explained it was customary for the
district inspector to put a uniformed
man IN hotel that had BEEN once
ralded to warn prospective patrons

Bishop Vincent
Will BE Buried
In Portville, n. Y.
Body of Chautauqua System
Founder to Rest Beside
Wife; Was Father of Head
OfROckefellerF Foundation

CHICAGO, May TO- - The body of
Bishop John Hcyl Vincent, organizer
and founder Of the Cha .tauqua educa-
tional system, who G,ed Sunday at his
home, $500 Blackstone Avenue, will be
buried at Portville, N. Y. His wife,
who was Miss Elizabeth Dusenbury, is
buried there.
Bishop Vincent was the father Of
DR.. George Edward Vincent, president
of the Rockefeller Foundation. He was
born in Alabama in 1882, and at his
by his parents. The family moved to
Pennsylvania in 1893, and the boy was
sent to the Lewisburg and Milton
academies. After finishing courses
there and at several other preparatory
institutions he studied four years with
the New Jersey Methodist Conference.
He became a teacher in country
school when he was fifteen, and at
eighteen was licensed as an exhorter
in McVeytown. Later in the same year
he was made local preacher and
travelled the LuZerne circuit of the
Methodist Church. He entered the
ordained deacon in the same year.
Two years later he became an elder
In 1867 he was transferred to the
Rock River Conference in Illinois, and
subsequently served pastorates in
Joliet, Mount Morris, Galena and Rock
ford. He went to Chicago in 1865.
He was greatly interested in Sun
day school Improvement work, main
tanning that the Sunday school teach
ing system was inadequate. In 1857
he formed the Church Normal Glass
for the training of Sunday school
teachers and in 1866 organized the
first Sunday School Institute. In the
next year "1'he Sunday School Trader"
monthly magazine, was begun. These
preliminary steps served as the in
cepton Of the present Chautauqua sys
tenn. The bishop went to Palestine
three times to obtain further ideas for
American teaching.
In the establishment of the Chau-
tauqua, the bishop was assisted ny the
late Lewis Miller, a manufacturer of
Akron, Ohio, and son-in-law of
Thomas A. Edison.
Bishop Vincent was raised to the
bishopric in 1888. Two years later he
was made resident bishop abroad Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church and
placed in charge Of the European af
fairs of that denomination. He retired
from the epscopate in 1904, but con-
tinued to preach at Harvard, Yale,
Cornell and other universities.
The bishop was a prolific writer and
was the author of many books on re-
ligious themes.
