Interstate Situation
Due to Turkish
Successes

New York. July 5:-The continued
success of the Nationalist is result
ing in an almost intolerable situation
Christians in Turkey because of the
arrogance of the Turks that has de-
veloped as "a consequence. Joseph w.
Beach, son of the President of Ban
gor Theological Seminary. Bangor.
Me, lately director of the Near East
Relief for the Caesarea district of
Asia Minor. reported to relief Of
Gcials at National Headquarters here
upon his arrival this week.
THE Armenians live in an atmos-
t.phere of continual dread" Beach de-
clared. They never know at what
moment Turkish official may have
them thrown into Jail on one preteNt
or another. They are not allowed to
engage in business or in any occupa
ton through which they may gain a
living. AS a consequence there is
much distress though the Caesarea
district is naturally fertile and
prosperous one If peace could be
enforced there would be little suffer-
ing But with the situation as it is
at present the Near East Relief has
to maintain a soup kitchen at which
only the worst cases of suffering are
fed To add to the misery both
Turks and Armenians are being con-
scripted into the Army and their de-
pendents left without support. The
Turks have, however, managed to
stamp out banditry and have clear
ed the way of robbers"
Beach and his fiancee, Miss Blanche
Easton, of 10 Hope street
Ridgewood, who was a nurse at the
Caesarea and who returned at the
same time. declared that their de-
j parture was held up for two months
until the necessary passports could
! be obtained. They travelled more
, than two hundred miles overland to
the Black Sea port of Samsoun to
come out.
During his two years service over
seas, Beach met Mustapha Renal
Pasha, leader Of the Nationalist
movement, several times. He de-
scribed the Turk as a well educated
man, apparently d sincere idealist,
but with many advisers and support
"rs OF different types.
Approximately three thousand or
phans in Near East Relief institu-
tions in Talas and Caesarea, Beach
declared, are entirely dependent up
on its activities for life.

Synthetic Ejavors.

There is danger that we may soon
forget the taste of fruit and flavors
in general. In the last few years
chemistry has made marvellous
progress in manufacturing synthetic
favors. 1t is much cheaper to
manufacture the flavor of q peach or
an orange than to grow the real
original fruit. Since we eat pre-
served fruits oftener than the real
fruit, we are in danger of acquiring
taste of an artificial flavor. Another
generation. it is prophesied, will OBJ
Ject TO the flavor Of n peach or a pear
as being unnatural. An interesting

Ever since the news that d silver
half-dollar of 1858 brought 900
was published throughout the coun-
try few years ago, there has been
greater misconception as to this
coin than any other ever struck by
the United States minis. This arises
from the fact that there are two
kinds of half dollars of 1853. The
rare variety has no arrows at the
dates and there is no sunburst on
its reverse.
Only two specimens of this coin
arc known to be in existence Half
dollars of 1858 with arrows and date
and sunbursts on the reverses are
very numerous. however, and they
nave frequently dashed the hopes Of
holders who We're unfamiliar with
the distinction between the two vari-
cites of the coin.

find many dead birds in the morning
about the base of any powerful light.
1t is not unusual to catch a glimpse
Of some strange bird on tree or
bush which is never seen at any 9TH

the immense number of birds which
are flying above our heads at great
altitude on their way southwark
The first birds to migrate are the in
sect-eatns birds which fly when the

rule fly at night and come to earth in

To Keep a Troop Goins

II have a question too. Mr.. Cave
Scout. This seems about the hard
est time in the whole year to keep
things going in our troop. There is
little doing besides regular meetings
and the members seem to lose their
pep. What can we do about it,"
Can anybody help out in this case?
Il belive ] can, Cave Scout. We
had the same trouble in our troop
a Scout dinner and invited our Dads
and Mothers. The Ladies' Aid Society
let us use the kitchen and the dishes
in the church and a couple of the
boys mothers helped us plan things.
but we set the tables. cooked the
meal and served it ourselves. After
the dinner we initiated three Tender
foots and the Court Of Honor pre-
scented badges to the First and Sec
ond Glass Scouts. That gave our folks
a pretty good idea about what we do
in Scouting. We also had a few dem
onStrations in Scoutcraft and the
whole affair was big success.
ner on Washington birthday We
began planning for it in December
and the boys are working their
heads off to make a good showing.
In addition. to the stunts we had last
year we are planning a Scout eX-
hibit. one of the members has fine
collection of butterflies, another
collection of samples of wood that
grows in this locality. another a COL
lection of birds nests, another d fine
group of wild animal and bird photo
graphs, and so on. We will also
SHOW samples of handicraft- such as
model airplanes. furniture, toys, use
full household articles, etc. all made
by members of the Troop. We are
having no trouble with attendance
and are getting some mighty good
work done. THE Cave Scout in

Will Tunnel Under Strait.

Several months ago announcement
was made that the imperial govern
ment railways of Japan amended to
build a tunnel under the Shimonoseki
strait. This strait separates the
main island of the Japanese group.
Hondo, from the smaller island of
kiushu at the south. 1t is now
crossed by a car ferry. which is
rapidly becoming insufficient to
meet the demands that are made
upon it. Two years are to be spent
in studying the geological formation
of the sea bed in the strait and in
drafting of the general plan of work
in preparation for the actual under
taking of tunncling, so that the real
work will not commence until 1927.
Engineers and workmen will be sent
to America and Europe to make a
study of what has been achieved in
these countries in the way Of tun-
mel engineering. The line is to be
seven miles long, one mile of which
will be entirely under the sea. The
approximate cost of the undertaking
will be about S10,00O,OOO and the
work is expected to be com pleted in

Measuring Breath.

\ highly complicated instrument
has been devised. which measures the
air we breathe with absolute ac-
curacy. 4 hose is attached to the
mouth by mouthpiece much the
same as those used in the gas masks
in the war. and the air which passes
in and out of the lungs is indicated
by a delicate instrument. Even the
temperature and barometric pressure
of a room are taken into considera-
ton. Tests are made with this in
strument while person is lying
down, without exerting any energy,
and while he is exercising, or using a
typewriter or some every day occu-
patton. The instrument makes it
possible for the first time to measure
exactly how much air one consumes
in performing certain piece of work.

Ventilatins Steam Radiator Supplies
Heated Fresh Air

With the ordinary steam radiator
the only way to get fresh air into a
room is to open the window. and
that either makes the room too cold
or consumes an eXtraVagant amount
of heat to keep it warm. There is
now a steam radiator that gives re-
suits equivalent to an open window,
as far as the fresh air is concerned,
but without the disadvantages of cold
and draft, according to the July
Popular Mechanics Magazine where
the device is illustrated. This is done
by boxing in the steam coils of the
radiator. and connecting this boxed
in space with the outside air by
bottom of the radiator at the OPP
pOsite end from the steam pipe con-
neCtion. The air pipe penetrateS the
wall of the room at right angles
from the radiator. At the top of the
enclosing box. between each pair of
steam coils, there are a series of per-
forations. Thus, when the coils are
hot, draft is created which sucks
the air through the inlet pipe. and
discharges it, after being heated by
the coils, through these perforationS
into the room. There is the same
supply of fresh air as from an open
window but before reaching the
room. if is warmed.

The Fall of Omoto Kyo

"Omoto kyo," which literally
translated means "the religion Of Ill
innate essence" made its appear
ance u few years ago in the noun
famous region of Ayabe, some fifty
miles north of Kyoto. Taking ad
vantage of the general reStlessness,
the founder of the religion. Onisa-
buro Deguch. skillfully propagated
it's doctrines. and welded within Il
very short time a number of believ-
ers. The religion became a great fad
among the old-fashioned people of
the country, and like the early Ken
lucky revival, it created a great ma
tional eXcitment.
Although the exact nature of it's
dogma is hidden beneath mystic
riouS veil. it seems to embrace some
of the most radical ideals known to
have been entertained by the Japan
csc. 1t is said that the founder iden-
titles himself with a divine being.
and his aspiration is to establish a
great world community based upon
the principle Of communism with its
headquarters at Ayabe.
Numerous rumors sprang in the
empire concerning this new religion.
The headquarters at Ayabe were rep
resented as mysterious secret rem
devious, where a scheme of revolu-
ton was being planned. To its be-
levers the shrine at Ayabe was con-
sidered sacred spot on earth where
the great mission Of world evangel-
ization was to be carried out
At last the authorities could no
longer overlook the movement and
sent a corps of police to its head
quarters early one morning and
seized the entire building. which was
magnificently built. The buildings
were examined, and to the great a.
mazement of the police a pile of gold
and silver coins and a large store of
swords and other weapons of warfare
were discovered. The police author
tiles were unable to make out the
exact purpose of storing these OBJ
jects. The leaders of the Omoto kyo
have been arrested and are being eX-
amined.
