was rejected Monday by Pres't vii
son and Communication refused.
The decision Of the president
came as no surprise because of his
previous refUsals TO intervene in the
case on the ground that Debs had
sought to handicap the government
through opposition TO the selective
service act during the war. and that
granting of clemepcy in this case
might induce similar tactics on the
part Of others in the event Of
another war Announcement of the
presidents decision was made a few
hours after the recommendation Of
the department of justice had been
submitted TO him
Reviewed BY Board.
The case was reviewed by a special
board now taking up all convictions
under the espionage act and their
findings were endorsed by Attorney
General Palmer The findings are
understood to have been pointed out
that Debs would be eligible for
parole on Aug. II, 1922. and that his
sentence. in case of EOod behavior.
would expire on Dec. %. 1925. The
recommendation is understood 70

months ago by union i61or and

who four times has been a candidate
for president OF the United States.
The case has been consistently and
bitterly fought both in and out OF
the courts ever since DebS was in

When Mrs. Housewife
Buys the Sunday
Dinner

In the days when prices were lower
than they are now, Mrs. Housewife
went over to the corner grocery on
Saturday afternoon and bought what
ever she could find that would make
nice Sunday dinner.
She bought promiscuously-a little
of this, little of that. Before she went
to the store she, perhaps, had little idea
of just what food was going to be
served at that Sunday dinner-the
meal that is the biggest one of the
week IN most families.
But today Mrs. Housewife buyy diff
ferently. High prices and the ad-
vancement Of the culinary art to a
ecience has caused this change In her
method of buying.
She does her buying as systematical-
" as she does her cooking. She knows
pretty well in advance just what is GO
ing to grace the table for that Sunday
dinner. She plans it well and she
knows just the exact amount of vege-
tables, -four, eggs and the many,
many other necessary things, needed
to make that dinner a success-and she
takes just as much pride In making
that dinner a success as her husband
does in making his business a success.
After the dinner has been planned
she starts her buying systematic
buying. She knows that the wide
awake grocers and butchers adv-r-
tise so she looks to their stores as the
place where she can find the best quail
ity at the best price. She knows, too,

TT is a strange paradox of life,

So Il is with the creations Of mans

Imagination from which come the

MYTH making. varying in con-
ception with the trend Of the ages,
has ALWAYS been an innate and nat
ural instinct OF men," stated DR..
Crothers. and in illustration the
speaker sketched briefly the prehis-
tnric belief Of primitive men, who
endowed inanimate objects with
personalities. In the age Of Homer,
men prompted by the same imagi-
native instinct created for them
selves beings designated as demi-
gods and supreme spirits. dweliers
on OLYMPUS. who moved the com

that age grew many myths though

ROBBERS USING ANCIENT DAY
 TORTURE
(By Internauonal News servIcel

(By International News Service)
 NEW YORK, Sept Is - Torture reminiscent of methods of the middle ages, when such methods frequently were applied by bandits as well as by minions of the law, were utilized by three masked men who robbed Ste phen Vassilatoulous of $2,1O0 in cash and Liberty Bonds at Coney Island.
 Vassilatoulous conducts a dozen small booths on the boardwalk at Co ney island between the Parkway baths and Brighton beach. He sleeps in a room adjoining his office in the rear of one of the soft drink stands
 According to his story to the police, he woke up as three men forced their way into his place early in the morn. ing One of them threw him on the bed. While two of them attempted to open the safe in the office, the third man wrapped adhesive tape over Ste phen's eyes and mouth.
 They were unsuccessful in opening the safe. The concessionaire yelled in agony as they ripped off the adhesive tape. They poked revolvers in his ribs, and under threats of death the vic tim opened the safe He then was tied to the bed.
 He made q slight movement as the safe was being rifled, and his guard pulled a hair from his mou3tache. Each time he moved the process was re- peated. Before the bandits left practi- cally all the hairs on one side of the had been yanked out.
 Stephen was told that to cry out meant certain death After the three men left Vassilotoulous succeeded in freeing himself. The police obtained finger prints and the numbers of the stolen Liberty bonds.

situation has also somewhat improved in the district of Kossovo, which has always been the scene of fierce en- counters between Albanian insurgents and Serbs But the latter have not given up their policy of systematic massacres and standardization, ruth lessly suppressing as many Albanian patriots as fall into their hands.
 There are about one million Alba nians in the district of KossOvo. and their presence constitutes an insur mountable obstacle to the realization of Serbia's ambitious designs in Ma cedonia and in Northern Albania.
 AS regards the situation in Monte negro, it is extremely grave, and 1t is no exaggeratiOn to say that the inde. pendence of this unfortunate and he roic little country is irremidiably com promised. Official Europe appears to have definitely accepted the accom- plished fact, namely. Montenegros forced annexation to Jugoslavia. Mon tenegro can only hope to reacquire it's lost liberty by a general upheaval of Balkan peoples against Jugoslayia which would have the effect of driv- ing back the Serbs within their na. tural confines.
