SENTENCES OF
go TO CHURCH.
LESSEN TROUBLE

Pineville. KY, July x.Drunk md
disorderly!t Go to church morning
and night and sunday school every
Sunday for five weeks"
verdicts something like this, rem
dered by the superintendent Of Atcoa1
company at Black Mountain. 50xlniles
up the Cumberland valley from here,
have cut trouble toSsa minimum, ac-
tendent OF the southeastern district OF
the Kentucky conferences OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church.
The church maintains q community
house and community work IN the
Black Mountain camp. ss
This scheme OF punishment" for
disorders at the camp wac conceived
and carried out BY "A. ". Miller, the
superintendent Of the company, Ac-
cordine to the Rev. MI. Reagan.
There q been considerable drinking,
shooting and other trouble in the
camp. The superintendent became
sold" on the community program
and decided that if he could sell the
employees Of the company it would
have a tendency to maintain quiet.
So when a man got drunk and fired
his pistol or created other trouble he
was brought before the. s%uper1nten-
dent. Evidence was heard and the
decision of the superintendent rem
dered. In svery instance the order
was that the man should either get
out OF camp at once or accept the al
tentative of going to Sunday school
and morning and evening services for
a given number Of Sundays.
The number varies, according to
Rev. Mr.. Reagan, with the superin-
tendents' idea OF the seriousness OF
the offense. s$
"Penalized" men must report each
Monday morning to the superinten-
dent whether or not they went to
church. II they did not 80 they must
give a reason, and the superintendent
is the judge aa to the validity of the
reason.
The result, according to Rev. Mr..
Reagan. has been that the camp is
rapidly becoming one Of the most or
derby in the mountains, while the
Sunday school has than 200 reg
ular attendants and morning and eve
ming services are attended by from
200 to 500 persons.

THE ITTTTIE KNOWN JORDAN.
(Manches4Ar 4ilardian.l {.

BY a provoking paradox the
Jordan, which Sir Herbert Samuel
proposes to utilize In connection
with hydroe1ectric and irrigation
schemes, is at once the best known
river in the world and one Of the
least known to topographers.
The upper waters . partly er-
plored about 50 years ago by our
compatriot Macgresor In hts Rob
Roy canoe, while ntore recently two
American inqutrers-Professor Lib
bey and DR.. Hoskins-hAve made
valuable additions to our knowledge.
But owing to the rapid current, IN
nAvigable nature, frequently inactee-
sible banks and presidential climate
this famous river has apparently
never yet been traversed throughout
rits tortuous length.
Yet this stream Of khaki colored
water: apart FROM many sacred mem
cries. possesses crest Importance for
naturalist and biologists. It flows
through a deep crack on our globe,
the most depressed spot Of the searth's
surface. while the local fish and
vegetation are characteristic not OF
Asia but Of Africa. Moreover, the
proposed detection Of the Jordan for
industrial purposes naturally raises
the pfob1era Of the fate that would
befall the Dead Sea when no longer,
ted By. this strange stream.

$4,000 PICTURES
TELL WORLD STORY

Washington. July 4.--Perhaps the
nearest thing in existence to a pic
torial representation OF the human
race and its work is contained in the
collection Of photographs owned by
the National Geographic society here.
Fol many years the most accurate
description possible was relied upon,
but, the marvels and beauties Of the
world could not be pictured adequate
ly In cold type. Something more hu-
man vas needed and the camera was
hit upon.
Although approximately 1900 pho
tographs are published yearly by the
National Geographic society, there
are hled away in its Washington Of
fces 10000 others. the subjects vary
ing from the southern polar regions
to the earth's northern axis.
Pictures dispelled the idea that a
chinanan is c~ongenitally unable to
laugh. An East Indian woman does
not invariably hurl her daughter into
the, gaping jaws Of the crocodiles any
more than the shark turns over on
his back to rend its prey.
Moslen,s Hate CAmerame1.
In many lands, notably in the Mos
lem countries, the greatest persuasion
en- $ssto submit to having their photo
graphs taken.
Mohanmed, founder Of the religion
bearing his name, to guard against
having his followers slip back into
%idclatry. expressly forbade. the pic
tured representation Of any living
thing. The-eye of the camera to this
day Is to many Of them an evil thing.
Yet even a picture Of the sacred Ear
pet at Mecca, has been published.
Peoples Of other lands have learn
ed they ear gain pelf by posing. In
Sicily practically every native refuses
courtesy.
In the oasis Of Biskra, In Algeria,
the aversion to the camera wa quick
" overcome at the sight Of, money.
On the island Of Maarken, IN Holland.
nearly everyone is primarily a poser
for the errAnt camera man, for a
price.
Afnu Abortgines SUSPICIOUS.
The. ancient aborigire Of Japan, the
Ainu race. have strong Discrimination
to the camera, and neither money nor
sfftA will weAn him away from this
aversion. These people Worship the
bear. They believe that they will
wither away and die il they submit
to having their pictures taken.
The Organization has turned eager
~ to pictures taken from Airp1Ases
and balloons.
Crave dangers often threaten the
wondering camera One staff
mar during the fighting in China in
1913, heard that the land lying be-
tween the military forces was over
u with brigands and that opium
wa being made there. He managed
to disArrn suspicion and got pictures
OF the poppy fields.
Perhaps one good picture out Of 10.
"shots" can be called a good average
for even the expert camera a It
sometimes happens that a chance
snapshot becomes the finest sort Of
prize. Such was the a 5 recently
when John Oliver La Gorce, associate

magazine, while on the way to try to

CHAPTER xI-continued.

The three women turned their eyes
toward the lanky moonshiner. He
was standing straighter than they
had ever seen him standing before,
and he held his repeater across one
of his thin shoulders in a manner that
was almost soldierly. 1t was as
though he had just discovered hith-
qerto unknown depth to himself.
The truth was that he was carry
ing a secret that was great, and al
most too much for him.
His aged mother rose with a rheu-
matte groan. "Looky here, By" she
demanded, "what on earths the mat
ter of We? Ha' We done went and
swallered a rifles ramrod, or a fishin'
mole. that We walk so cussed straight
and look like a plumb dadblamed
fool?'
"No, maw," grinned her son, "Nothin'

"All right, By, all rightly" To Mrs.
Iittleford. "COme down and bring
yore knittln', and spend the day WI
me. Good luck to ye, Babe, when We
go back to the ethyl"
When they were within hundred
yards of their cabin home beside the
river, Granny Heck said to her son,
whose mind seemed inordinately busy:
"Who dye reckon killed Black
Adam, the hound dawg o. Torment.

quietly said BY Heck.

Heck. ~ said who did you think

protested the old woman vehemently.
"Now you answer me what 1t was ]
