Doniphan' sPrestige Great in Western
 Missouri, is Claim

Liberty, Mo-, Feb. 22.-Col Dewitt | C. Allen; who died here recently al the age of S4, studied law in the of flee of Alexander Doniphan. and was a Missourian. He loved to tell of the great prestige Uoniphan had in west. ern Missouri after his return from his famous expedition into Mexico which was described some years age by Champ Clark, former speaker of the house of representatives as "The March of the One Thousand" great CT military exploit than Xenophon's march of the ten thousand.
 "Donipht,n was a great orator and a great popular figure" Colonel AL len frequently said. Had he so chos- en, he could have been elected to al most any office within the gift ot the people of Missouri But he pre- ferred to lead the life of Missouri country gentleman. and after his re- turn from Mexico declined to take any further part in public life.
 "But despite his modesty he re- mained a great public figure, and the news that he was to speak at any pubic gathering always brought crowds of people from the surround ing countryside. His eloquence was wonderful, men said that when he began speaking he could charm the very birds in the trees.
 "That was probably a fanciful statement; and yet 1 remember very distinctly one fall when Doniphan was to speak, the trees in the court house square were swarm ing with noisy blackbirds. It was feared that Doniphan could not make himself heard, and efforts were made to drive out the birds, but without success. The crowd assembled, and Doniphan began to talk. As his deep voice roll ed out, the crowded square grew still, and men held their breath to listen And, you may believe it or not, but in five minutes the very birds in the trees were still, as though charmed by the spell of Doniphan's eloquence."

Amsterdam, Feb. 2S An un1atter- ing view of America is mivcn in an in tcrView in the Amsterdam Tclcgraaf, bv William Oudcprest. widely known in labor circles. and leader of the Dutch labor party, who recently te- tunled from attending thc lutclna, tional labor congress at Washinpton. AMono ether thinpe. according to The Telcgraaf. Mr. Oudopeeet found tFat in the United States:
 Politics are at this moment on a level with those of lS40 in Holland
 Economically, America has got to the stage of 1880.
 In the light of culture the Ameri- can still lives in the 18th century.
 "One gets the impression the Tel egraaf quotes Mr. Oudcgeest as say ing, "When he is in America. that he is in the closing days of nobility, when the peasants thought their no bic lords the only things of mpor- tance in this world, but with the diff ference that the bankers and great business men take the place of the junkers and baronS.
 General education is very low. People do not read"

British Shipyards
 Showing Signs of 7 Large Increase

London, Feb. 2S.-An analysis of Lloyd's Register returns for the quar- ter ended December 31, made by the American chamber of commerce in London, indicates that, for the first time since the United States be- came shipbuilder on large scale, British shipyards show signs of re- gaining their former supremacy.
 The tonnage now building in the United Kingdom, says the American chamber, exceeds by 27,732 tons that under present construction in the United States, where the decrease in the building of new tonnage amounts to 5O4,00O tons, as compared with the figures for September last.
 The American chamber remarks that the tonnage under construction may not be so good basis for judg- ment as the amount of tonnage ac- tually launched, and that the United States is putting ships on the water quicker than Great Britain
 The United States in 1919 con structed 4,735,109 tons as against Britain's 1851, ,759 tons, but the horsepower represented by the Amer ican ships was only 2,591,210 as against 3,2O9,040 of the British. Birt- ian is going in for high power ves- sells, while the United States is build ing more of the tramp class.
 A review of world tonnage in course of construction, shows a decline of about 187,O00 tons from the figures for the September quarter.

DO YOU KNOW THIS LADY.

She is the mystery girl of Pine Bluff, and may be seen by hundreds
 of local people, be right among and about them, but no one will be able to even touch her. She will travel
 through space before your very eyes, will appear, disappear and reappear in the most surprising manners imagin- able. Millions of people all over the
 world have tried to solve the great mysteries surrounding her, but all have failed. Can you? She is Miss Crystal Williams, the pretty little
 leading lady with Richards, "The Wiz
 zard," who opens three days en- gagement at the Orpheo Theatre to-
 morrow and brings to this city the greatest attraction of it's kind now touring America, presenting the en- tire show here exactly as given in
 his record breaking tour of America s largest cities. The entire perform ance is a bewildering succession of thrills, suspense mystery, beauty and
 fun, neatly blended with tinkling, tuneful music, and positively guaran- teed to be the largest, most costly and elaborate production of it's kind
 ever brought to this city.

Charity is Cut
 Down Because
 of High Prices

New York. Feb 28. Eighteen poor families of Trinity parish used to be provided for in the weekly Leake "dole of bread distributed from the parish house of St. Luke's chapel Today the high cost of living allows for the charity to only 10. At the same time prosperity has reached out into more homes, and there is less need for it. Only six shabillv dressed little boys and girls, chil- dren of the parish's most deserving poor" asked for it last Saturday.
 The advent of March will have seen the dole's "wheaten loaves" dis, tributed 6,633 consecutive weeks in the 12S years of it's existence. It was provided for in John Leake's will of colonial days. Four to six loaves go to each family.
 Mrs. Margaret J. Tunstall, parish visitor, distributed the Leake dole. She has been doing it for 15 years,

Good Health of Church Members
 Being Sought

! New York. Fob 29 Good health has a closer relation to the spiritual 1 life of man than has perhaps been realized. At any rate the modern church is becoming more and more i interested in the health of it's com municants and of the people at large. As body the protestant churches have not hitherto engaged in the fight on tuberculosis, but with the inaugu- ration of the Interchurch World Movement, the protestant churches ar Movement the Protestant churches are entering actively into the fight. One million dollars of the budget of askings of the Interchurch World Movement has been set aside for the National Tuberculosis sanitarium planned for Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dr. Frank c. English, director of , the hospitals and homes division of the movement will soon make trip from New York to Arizona to attend to certain details of the enterprise.
 The situation to be met in Phoenix lis serious one. To that city, with its 60,000 population, come each year from 5000 to 5000 sufferers from tu- berculosis, attracted by the high, dry air, famed the country over as being curative of their disease Many of them without money, or means of support. The present facilities of caring for them, the health authori- ties report, are so inadequate as to be practically negligible. And since these tuberculosis patients come from the entire country, their care should be the problem of the entire country.
 This sanitarium is proof of the Protestant churchs awakening to a sense of responsibility for the body as we'll as the spirit. The responsi- bilty has long been carried in for eign fields, where the work of the medical missionary makes a record
