SERKESS FOUND HIS MOTHER
Pathetic Cases Such as This One Re-
ported Have Long Been Com
mon in Armenia. e

Bright and early one morning a
band of Arabs drove up to the Near
East Relief orphanage at Kars, Ar
menfa, bringing with them a forlorn
little chap about five years old.
I'VE want you to5 take this boy"
said the leader of the band to an off,
cial Of the orphanage. HE has no
father, nor MOTHER
What Is his name?" the leader Of
the band was asked.
He is called Serkess," shouted
back the leader OF the Arabs as they
galloped away.
Ia this way little Serkess became
member Of our family. He was an
intelligent little chap but seemed un-
able to remember anything about his
home or his parents.
A few days later one Of the native
women helpers at the orphanage was
going through the playground when
she suddenly stopped, turned pale and
stared unbelIevingly at one Of the hit
tie chaps who was playing there.
"Serkess!" she cried, and running to
the youngster gathered him into her
arms. Serkess was her son who had
been taken from her two years before
by the Turks.

GETS ALCOHOL FROM COAL
Discovery by English Scientist That
Is, Is OF Monetary as Well az
Practical Value.

,,. 80
The extraction of alcohol from cokes
oven gas on a commercial scale was
proved possible at meeting Of the
Cleveland Institute Of Engineers at
Middlesbrough NnglanD by Ernest
Bury OF the .SkinningroEe Iron and
Steel works. Mr.. Bury showed that
he had succeeded in extracting ethyl
alcohol and its derivatives. The prac-.
tical working Of Mr.. Bury's process
at the Skinningrove plant, where $500
tons OF coal are carbonized per week,
revealed an average yield of 1.8 gal
Ions of alcohol per ton Of coal car
BOMBED. The total weight of coal re-
duced, to coke in the United Kingdom
in 1918 having been 14635, 900 tons,
the application Of Mr.. Bury,s process
to the entire amount of coal would
yield 23,4l80OO gallons, the value Of
which would be $11 ,395,OO0 The re-
coyery Of alcohol at the gas works of
the country would yield a further 4
100000 gallons. or, alcohol and benzol
taken together, would amount to la
100000 to meet the requirements Of
the country, which amounts to $780,
100000 per annum.

Originator of "Bread Line"


John Leake, a wealthy New Yorker
Of Revolutionary days, was respon-
sible for the ''dole of bread" distribut-
ed weekly by Trinity parish, provision
for which he made in his will. A por~
ton of his will said:
'I hereby give and bequeath to the
rector and yestrymen of Trinity par
ish,, New York city, N. T., 1,0Qp
pounds, put out at interest, to be LAID
out in the annual income in sixpenny,
wheaton loayes of bread and distribut,
ed to such poor as shall appear most
deserving s.....sS.
The dole's "wheaten bread" has been
distributed for 1913 years. Originally
10 poor families were provided for,
but only 10 are being taken care Of
now, due to the high cost of living,
and the fact that the same time pros
perity has reached out into more
homes, and there is LESS need of it.
Each family gets from four to six
loaves. st. Luke's chapel parish
house has been the scene of the dole
for four years, the charity having been
distributed before that time from st.
Johns chapel. Originally its home
was Trinity church, where the poor
had to apply for it at the altar after
the Sunday service.

Plywood In AirpIane Construction.

PlyWood is wood of any variety that
has been cut by q machine into thin
layers and glued together again in
such way that the grain Of one layer
runs at an angle to the grain OF two
adjacent layers. The strength of
plywood panel, in two planes, greatly
exceeds that OF steel. With some wood,
by combining. cuts, it is even possible
to get greater resistance to stress In
all three planes than steel affords,
though it is rarely necessary to go SO
far. Ordinary wood used for airplane
construction is not required to with
stand severe stresses in more than
two planes. What plywood means to
airplane construction is well fllustrat-
ed by the De Haviland4. Before that
method Of using wood was invented
the best airplane wing rib weighed 1906
ounces, and was capable of sustaining
a load of only SO pounds. Since then
the splywood rib used on the De Havi-.
land weighs SIP ounces. and will carry
a load Of 274 pounds. opular Me

GOT WRONG MAN THAT TIME.
College Seniors Made Decided Mistake
When They Tried to "smoke
Out" Young Kentuckian.

Tom Honan, former attorney gen.
eral Of Indiana, was talking of his col
lege days at Indiana university. He
recalled, with a laugh, how the seniors
used to Smoke OUT the freshmen in
the good old days.
The big idea was" said Mr.. Ho-
nan, "for five or six, or perhaps a
dozen seniors, to coDgregate in the
room of a freshman and smoke pipes
until the smoke made him, sick.
Usually the fellow selected. for. the
. smoking out process was one Of these
mollycoddle youngsters who had not
long been divorced from his mothers
apron strings.
Zone time we selected a long, lean
Kentucky boy. One by one we dropped
in. lighted our pipes and began the
game. Kentucky fired up his pipe,
too, and the evening wore On. The
smoke grew heavier with each pass
ing haif-hour. Not a window was up,
mot door open. Along about eleven
O'clock two or three seniors disap-
peared. They had been shipwrecked.
Finally the tobacco began running
out, much to the pleasure of several
of us. But Kentuck smoked on. t5.s-
At Inst one Of us remarked to Ken
tuck TINT we'd have to go, as our to
bacco had run out.
No, don't go Kentuck insisted.

Country Of Little Chance.

Recently when Professor Williams
visited the vice regent of South Mo-
rocco, the latter quoted from char
ter given by the sultan Of Morocco
In 1925. The visitor expressed sur
prise that this ancient parchment still
remained in the vault, and the vice
regent exclaimed: why not? We
have never moved!" This incident
is said not to DE at all remarkable.
Wherever one goes in the Turkish
empire, he is likely to be confronted
with the evidence of age by the tradl-
lions handed down. from generation
to- generation. IT is no more strange
for Turk to speak Of happenings
in his family Of centuries ago than
it is for an old man In this country
to recall with pride the exploits Of
his father or grandfather

Things That Count.

It is not SO much what we say but
what we do that wins men to better
things; not what we preach but how.
we act that saves souls and puts the
red .lifeblood into an anaemic world.
After all, the world is quickest touched
not by the great building but by the
great heart; not by the cold word on
printed page but, by the warm word
as it comes from living lips; not so
much by the house Of mercy as by
the merciful hand laid on the feyered
brow; not so much by the house that
shelters the wanderer as the beautiful
face which enshrines motherhood at
whose knees lonely children gather
Grit.

CHINA ADDS TO DEMON LIST
AZ Least Five New influences Have
Come to That Country With I.
Spreading Civilization.

China is land of demons and
spirits. For untold ages every BUSH
ness, every dwelling and every condi-
ton sof life life has had its particular
demon or flock of demons. The ancient
Chinese religion consisted mainly Of
rites to either rropitiate or render
poWerless the evil spirits and enconr.
age the attendance of the good ones.
The category of demons was so com
plete tltaf Esit was not Until modern
seivil ization Began to work its changes
that there WAS. room for any more.
E{siNOw, however, there are at least
five new devils. according to DR.. w. ii.
Hudson ofsIashing, whose lectures in
Shanghai on the Chinese conception of
ghosts and spirits have been reported
to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Among the modern new devils" DR..
Hudson said in one lecture. ARE the
malaria devil, the opium devil, the red
match devil, the railway. devil and the
gunshot devil. The natives. of the ma
laria districts have learned that mos
quito netting is very efficacions in COM
batting the malaria devil. But that
method is not very impressive, and
the Chinese, especially those in the
back country districts, insist on being
impressed. So the priests and native
doctors have devised charms and exor-
cisms whereby they claim to Danish the
demon without recourse to the netting.
The foreign doctors naturally are
skeptical, but If noise and banners and
general impressiyeness have any vir-
tue, the method Should be effective.
1.-THE opium devil calls for a particu-
lar set of nominations and paper
prayers, as does the red match demon.
This is a comparatively new demon
that came into being about the time
that the Chinese discovered that eat
ing match heads was very conven.
lent and cheap way of committing sui
eide. The railway devil is distinctly
foreign, the natives say He dwells
inside locomotives and his special bust
ness is to run the engine over people
at every opportunity. He is subject to
two sets of prayers, one to allay his
yearning to destroy, the other invoking
his aid for those tired of life and de-
sirous Of a speedy end.
Then there Is the gunshot devil,
| not so distinctly foreign as his brother
of the railway, but just as blood
thirsty. He has come into prominence
since the mode of public execution was
changed in most places from behead
| ing with the sword to shooting.

effect in lowering the H. C. L., either,
