WITH LETHAL Gas

RENO, New, Dec. 21.-U n. 81
Nevada's lethal gas law providing that

demned persons will probably be test.
ed i'm the Supreme Court soon, when
Gee Jon, a San Francisco Chinese, and
Hughie Sing, a Chinese of Carson City,
pay the death penalty for killing one

first to come under the penalty of the
new gas law. An application for Il
trial has been made, and if this is de-
MED the men have no alternative

The state has made NJ provision for
erecting y gas cell in its new prison,
now under construction, The former
provision of shooting or having pris-
oners was repealed by the legislature

ever the present system of things
passes away and strife and bloody rev

has ceased to be reverenced and de-
Tended as the fountain of civilization.
"Home is the divinely founded in-'

race; home is the sanctury of chaa-
tity and love: home is the school of

ater of religious, moral and social du-
ty and the nursery Of patriotism.
Divorce is destroying this noblest
institution of civilization. 1t has al
ready become a national menace. In
the short period of twenty years, from
1901 to 1920, 1,SS3,591 DEGREES of di-
vorce were granted in the United
States. over 1.31S,514 children, mi

DEGREES. These divorce orphans have
been cast out Of home, an appalling
sacrifice to the Demon Divorce.
"At the present day in the whole
country there is one divorce to every
nine marriages. In some states the
ratio is one divorce to every three

THE LAND OF ARMENIA

The Amenians begin their history with
the Garden of Eden, which they claim
was in Armenia and not far from Lake
Van. Hence it is that the Armenians,
who are among the oldest Christians,
allege thai their first recorded ancestors
are found in the book of Genesis. In
support of their claim they say that their
land is beautiful enough to have included
Paradise, and that their apples are seduc-
tive enough to have tempted Eve.
The Armenians are among the most
ancient of peoples. In comparison with
them, the Anglo-Saxon is in his early
youth. Emerging from tradition, dis
tinct Armenian people appear dwelling
near Mount Ararat about one thousand
years before the advent of Christ. Liv-
ing on tablelands, and without any nat
ural defenses, the Armenians successfully
became subjects of the Modes, the Per-
slams, and the Romans Seldom did they
enjoy absolute independence. But sub
lection in those days usually meant only
the payment of tribute to the conqueror.
Otherwise they were allowed to pursue
their own development
The Armenians early became converted
to Christianity. The Armenian church was
founded in the year $40 A. D., by Gregory

The first Adams retired at sixty-two, Van
Buren, at ffty-nine. Of these eight, four
lived to be past eighty. One passed
seventyeight and another passed seventy
nine. Washington alone of them failed
to reach seventy. The first Adams out
lived retirement by twenty-five years and
Jefferson, who died on the same day with
Adams, July 4, 1926, the fftieth annver-
sary of Independence, outlived retirement
seventeen years. Monroe, who retired at
sixty-seven, died July 4, 1881.
Since Jackson, no president except Will
son, Buchanan, Taylor and the first Harri-
son has sat in the White House when
sixty-one years old. Of all who have
served in that time, ten retired or died
in office before reaching ffty-seven, and
only two outlived retirement twenty wears.
Not one lived to be eighty, and only five
passed seventy. Polk outlived retirement
less than six months, and died at fifty
four, younger than any other ex-president.
Few presidents in the last fifty years have
lived to see three of their successors, and
several have not seen two, though Pierce
saw four.
Although the average lengtht of human
life in the United States is greater than
it was when hhe republic was Young, dis
tinguished public men have hardly shared
i'll the boon of heightened days. The
presidency, indeed while never exactly
what everyday folk call soft snap, was
a far less exacting Office in early times
than it is today. The. Napoleonic war
gave Washington, the first Adams, Jeffer~
son and Madison good many trying
hours, but they all had their periods of
respite. Washington, wherever he hap
pened to be as chief magistrate, managed
to escape now and again to the spacious
and dignifed quiet of Mount Vernon.
John Adams, the. first president to occupy
the White House at Washington, the
domestic arrangements of which appeared
impossible" to his thrifty and orderly
New England wifer often returned to-the
quiet of his home at Quincy Jefferson
found repose at Monticello, and Jackson
made the long journey to the Hermitage,
where rest awaited his coming.
All of the early presidents were safe
from intrusive messages by telegraph or
telephone and they received mail in no
masses as now daily pursue a president
on \ vacation. Even Polk could not have
been much disturbed by the stammering
words of Morses w-fangled messenger
tor it was publicly used for the first time
IN reporting to congress the result of the
Democratic national convention at Balti-
more in 1844.-Ex

Salina, Kan, has neither an air
plane nor mysterious airDlane on Its
hands. A press dispatch from Sail
ma in the Kansas City Star described
finding an airplane on the outskirts
Of the city following a blizzard, Dec
ember 3. Various theories were ad-
vanced by residents and officials OF
the Kansas town. One was that the
plane had been deserted by bank rob-
beers. Another that it was used by
rum smugglers operating out OF Cana
da. But it was neither.
The plane belongs to B. M. Tux
horn, $40 Cleveland avenue, Kansas
City. Mr.. Tuxhorn, accompanied by
Gordon Ensor, mechanic, left Lincoln
Center, Kan, where they had been
on a rabbit hunt, December 2. They
"put up" in Salina that night, leav-
ing the plane ON the outskirts. A
snow storm the next morning forced
them to abandon. the plane and take
