How Chinese Use Peach Stones.

Women and children are to be seen
in the markets OF China picking up
peach stones, which are put to several
uses. Broken into pieces and dried
in the sun, they furnish excellent ma.
terial for fuel.
Another profitable use of the peach
stone is made by artists and engrav-
ers, who carve them into different
forms of animals. Some Of the larger
stones, if round enough, are carved
into finger rings During the season
one may see in the interior of South
China yards of poor people full of
peach stones drying in the sun. After
being cleaned, the small stones are
used for fuel, groups of small boys
picking out the larger ones.
The kernels are sometimes sold 20
chemists and druggists. They are
preserved in bottles and used as
cough medicine after the kernels are
turned into white powder. This
white powder is very popular, con-
venient and cheap medicine for poor
people in many villages as a remedy
for coughs.

ANCIENT MARVEL OF EGYPT
Labyrinth Constructed Some $500
Years Ago Was Structure
of Colossal Size.

King Minos. with his labyrinth on
the island of Crete. is generally sup
posed to have been the originator of
the maze idea; but Egypt has laby-
rinth, too, and Egypt manages to hold
the record for antiquity in almost ey-
erything, labyrinths included.
This Egyptian labyrinth is $500
years old. 1t is merely chaotic mass
Of rocks piled up in the desert few
miles out of Medinet. The outlines of
the walls merge dimly here and there
from the ruins. and from these out
lines. and the carvings on the stones,
Psychologists deduce that the LADY,
rinth was built by a certain King
Labarys. who was more popularity
known as Amenemhat Ill
The structure was 500 by 600 feet.
1t contained 1900 rooms. half above
ground, half below. Remember that
the largest hotel in our present day
world boasts about that number of
rooms on a dozen floors and covers a
city square, and some idea of the size
of the two-story labyrinth can be
gained.
Nobody has figured out yet why King
Amenemhat built this enormous pal
ace or tomb. In the lower story, his
tory says. the sacred crocodiles and
kings were buried. while the upper
floor was, few centuries after King
Amenemhat's time, used as seat of
government.
The labyrinth was wonderful
place, one of the most wonderful in
Egypt, if our ideas of 1t are correct,
and its greatness was its downfall.
The citizens of nearby town, who
worshiped the ichneumon. resented
the sacred crocodiles of the labyrinth.
And so they made an attack upon one
of King Amenemhat's successors and
reduced the largest structure in Egypt
to ruin.

Community Team Work

As one reads the newspapers in
these disturbed times, he is often NOV
ed to ask if this can be the same coun-
try as the one he lived in just two
short years ago.
At that time every center of popuIa-
ton, from the big city down to the
litt.est village, was filled by one COM
mon purpose. The people were all
working for the same ends, to back
up their soldiers and to win the war
Everyone shouted for the same grand
cause.
Now with the war over and won and
victory assured, this sense of unity in
many places seems to have disappear
ed. 1t was supposed that the demo-
cratic association of army life would
tend to unite all elements, but it has
not proved so to any great extent. La
Dor and capital are working at cross
purposes and seem very hostile to
each other. Different elements ac-
cuse each other of a selfish and grasp
ing spirit.
When any suggestion for improve
ment are made by any element, the
others seem to think that these are
merely intended to cover up some
scheme of personal and private adj
vantage. Mutual faith and confidence
seem to have disappeared in many
localities. In this atmosphere of sus-
picipn and antagonism it is impossible
to get any efficiency of action.
It is with no small sense of graft
tude that Marshall continues to lead
with fine spirit of community team
work.
If the people of this country expect
to accomplish anything for themselves
or to win aysecure place in world COM
petition, to retain material prosperity
and promote social advance, they must
manage to unite on some common
ends. People must stop seeking for
their own selfish advantage alone, and
they must consider how their policy Is
going to affect the whole community.
News Messenger, Marshall.

yard While many strange things are
done in government finance, official
red tape made it wholly impossible
for the cashier to hand Michael the

due form and phraseology, introduc-

routine and finally reach the president
for signing. But it came to him too
late for action before congress adj

Michael McGarvey would have to wait

Constitution, giving the president ten

And now the word goes forth to a

that all is well. The president signed
the bill at the same time he signed

sert that Michael McGarvey possesses,

SHOOTING IN
BELFAST CAUSES
PANIC ON STREET

Belfast. Sept. 27.-Shooting by
snipers and others in the center Of
Belfast last night caused a panic
among the crowds on Royal avenue,
the city's main artery. after church
hours. The disturbance followed
shootings Saturday night and Sunday,
in which one policeman was killed
and two others wounded, followed by
the assassination of three civilians In
reprisal by masked men.
Shippers in the Slim Fein quarter
fired into North street, which crosses
Royal avenue, Sunday night. A tram
car came into the, line Of fire. The
passengers, terrified, crouched on the
floor until the car turned into Royal
avenue. Tram car traffic later was
diverted to- another route.
The rush from the streets caused
the crowd in Royal avenue to swell
to large proportions. and a STAN.
pede was created when volleys sud-
denly rang out apparently from the
Sim Fein side streets at the top OF
North street. AS the crowd raced in
disorder along Royal avenue, shots
were discharged in Rosemary street,
on the southern side of h avenue,
creating a pGnic about the Castle
street Junction, the most crowded
spot in the city.
Women rushed about in a frenzy,
and there was a rush to shelter In the
