For 1t seems to US that the Rev.
Straton patronizes the human race. of
which some Of our best friends are
active members. And, while we are not
versed in the statistics of the various
vices the Rev. DR.. so hates to investi
gate, we find inaccuracies when he
touches on matters within the boun-
daries of our restricted province. So,
in our bigoted way, we get the idea that
lnaccuracy and lucid ratiocination arc
not often welded; and the heretical
notion strikes us that it is possible that
the Rev. Straton is not infallble or
omniscient
New-York tribune., 1920-04-16

The Rev. Dr.. John Roach Stra-
TONS book, "The Menace of immortality
ir Church and State,' is out. Now, the
play abraham Lincoln sent us away
with the desire to Be Better Boy, but
DR.. Straton's book, read as we were
stretched yesterday on bed of as much
pain as pharyngitis can give, aroused in
us the wish to drink rum, sing ribald
songs, learn the Pyrrhic and more sir
full dances, and elope with no fewer
than thirty-fve women.

AGE-oLD BUILDING MATERIAL
@Pise," in Use for Many Centuries, is
Merely Simple Form Of
Concrete.

What is pise? The word, which in
Its complete form is written pise de
terre. betrays French origin and,
from its general appearance, might
we'll suggest some affinity with the
world of art. These preliminary i'm
pressions, however, will be found mis-
leading. There is nothing peculiarly
French in pise dwellings, though they
are common enough in some parts of
France, and reference to them abounds
in French literature of the eighteenth
century
The word itself, traced to its Latin
origin, apparently means nothing more
artistic than battered" Perhaps the
simplest definition Of pise is provided
by Pliny the Elder, who calls it
"earth battered between boards"
meaning by boards form such as may
be used for concrete in construction
work
The Roman sage adds that it was an
old and well-tried system of building
and remarks that Hannibal used this
material for watch towers on the tops
of hills in Spain during his campaign.
Who knows whether it was not also
in use when Cheops built his Great
Pyramid; for there are prehistoric
pise buildings in New Mexico and Ari-
iona which, some say, date back al
most to that period?
Certainly history cannot trace the
system to it's origin, and the pise
dwellings now visible in France, Spain,
America, the British colonies and
elsewhere may give no complete indl-
cation of the extent to which this ma
terial was employed in other centuries

INDIANS TRIBUTE TO MOTHER
Red Skinned Fighter in World War
Proves Worthy Descendant Of
Race of Chiefs.

Wounded-With- Many Arrows Is an
Indian living in South Dakota.
According to an Indian custom, the
first thing an Indian mother sees or
SAYS after her child is born may be
chosen as the infants name. The
night of his birth, in April 1891, the
mother saw warrior who had been
wounded by many arrows; hence the
name given to the newborn child.
Entering the world war in the
armies of the great white father at
Washington, the first thought. of this
copper-skinned descendant Of race
of chiefs was of his mother. whom he
named as the beneficiary in his SlO-
GOO government war risk insurance
policy.
The mothers name is Susan-Loves-
the-War and she lives at Wakpola, ).
d. She was proud that her son was
among the first to respond to the call
of the United States for soldiers to
fight for their country; she was glad
| when he came back. unframed. full OF
wonderful stories Of the adventure
| through which he had passed. And
she realized that he had, by allotment
| of pay and by his insurance policy,
demonstrated that all he had was hers
as everything he was he owed to her.
Wounded With Many-Arrows might
be called Indian Good-to-H His Mother.
