KENTUCKlAN TELLS
OF WORST FAMINE
h. Rev. william Stout Blame.
China's Catastrophe to De
struction Of Forests
WILL SPEAK OVER STATE

Destruction Of North China's great
forests during the centuries that have
passed this deforestation which now
leaves an arra or :10.eoD square miles
dennded OF trees. Is the direcl cause
OF the worst famine m history. This
Is the declaration 0f missionaries re-
turning from the famine area and
voiced by the Rev. William Stout. who
has returned 10 his home 10 George
town. ny. after hve years In China.
The Rev. Mr.. Stout viii start
speaking tour Of the state next week
In the interest Of the China Famine
Fund Of which Joseph Burge . Board
OF Trade Building. Louisville, Is chair
man.
I Through the China Famine Fund.
every relief organization in China is
supplied with funds these organiza
tions. Including the Red Cross, the Sal
walton Army. Christian missions, re
Iigious organizations and American
units.
Deforestation 10 Blamed.
'sThis great catastrophe which
threatens TO wipe our the lives Of To-
10000 persons within the next sixty
days, he> said, is due to drouths, the
natural result OF the denudati0D Of
forests which has gone on for centn.
rles in North China. With few trees
on the land TO hold the moisture the
natural consequence Is that rainfall Is
small and uncertain. Even in years
when the rainfall is sufficient the yell
low River and other rivers break over
their banks unprotected by trees,
washing away the soil and deluging
the crops.
ut is a prevalent idea that rice Is
the main food Of all the Chinese peo-
pie. This is true in South China where
travellers get their impression and is
strengthened by the fact that nearly
all the Chinese In America came from
South CHINA. In the fall, wheat is
sown In North China and after being
harvested in the early summer, millet
and sorghum are sown.
Roots Always Eaten. 81
"AA these crops are harvested by
being pulled up by the roots as these
with Che stalks and straw of the grain
are the main dependence for fuel. In
the years when crops are short 1t does
not mean only that some little Injuries
will have 10 be given up, but II means
that there will be less of the coarse
millet meal bread, 1t means that when
the potatoes are gone the vines will be
eaten; 1t means that instead OF two or
three meals q day there will be only
one.
when a crop failure is fifty per
cent as II often is, 1t means that many
starve to death. The last Ave crops
have been only about ten per cent OF
normal.
Practically all OF North China is
village after village, often only sepa-
rated by a few yards Of ground. In
parts Of North China the population
Is twenty times denser than in Jeffer-
son County. The Chinaman may live
and carry ON q business In port re
mote from his ancestral village, but he
expects to go there and spend his last
days and be buried b. the side OF his I
anceslors.s'

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.
Thomas b. Edison confidently ex-
ipects the transmutation OF lead in
10 gold
For centurieT tAls has been the
GUEST of man.
In tho early seventies. however,
SlF william Crookes brought for
ward certain evidence tending to
show that all mater has a COM
mon bnsis and he proposed a name.
.sprothyl," for this substance. The
idea did not gain great headway,
however, until the discovery OF
radlo-acttvity, which threw an en-
tirely new light upon the constitu-
ton OF mar.
Until then It had been supposed
that the elements" were simple
and lndiyisible: that the atom was
the smallest particle OF matter In
the universe, and that these atoms
presented the building stones OF
tho Cosmos.
Studies in radio activity proved
that the atom itself IS capable OF
bong split up into still smaller
particles, known as "elcctrons;
but these electrons are not COM
posed Of matter at all but cleo
tricitys Hence arose the modern
electrical theory Of matte".'
This theory says that all mat
ter Is ultimately electrical at
basis; that the atom is exceeding
ly4cJnplev in nature. and Is buils
up somewhat like our solar s%s-
TEN. with acentral NUCLEUS in the
middle (like our sunl and a mum.
her Of particles revolving about 1t.
as our planets revolve round the
sun.
Tho distance between them
would BIO as great, proportionately
as the distances between the vari-
Gus planets and the su:. in our
solar system!
Tho central nrcelus on the mod
cen theory Of matter consists in
negative charge of electricity
while the particles revolving round
it arc charges OF positive elcctri-
oIty. These d'tic- in number, and
the various elements" are merely
qualities of the atom, due to Tire
difference between the number Of
tho positive charges within the
atom itself.
II will thus be seen that, in or
der to change one element into an.
other 1t VOID only be necessary,
theoretically. to alter the number
NJ poStttve electrons in any given
atom. Add or subtract ono two.
ti,rse or more. and tho element
changes into another element

Gus as this year. with the waning Of
popularity in the head dress, women
seem to have concentrated upon the
feet. and the glitter and hue which
used to shine from the hair now twin
kIes from the feet There are hum
dred variations of the gold and silver
slippers which were the height of shoe
chicness and elaborateness but few
years ago. Tinsel cloths. hectic bro
cades, soft plushes and veivets, silks
satins, and brocedes are all found in
the shoe shops. These fabrics make
evening pumps with long vamps and
! high French heels.
But color and luxury is not found in
evening shoes alone Brilliantly dyed
/ feathers abound upon the street. in the
hotel and theater. and in the exclusive
shopping districts. 1t is no uncom-
mon sight to see vermillion kid slip
pers or walking shoes upon the street,
while henna, blue, and green shoes are
being worn by the leisure crowd as
much as nigger browns and black is
worn by the working woman.
Henna is the very latest shade and
is found in a soft antelope leather. An
telope, BY the way, is being used as
much as kid for the lighter weight
shoes. Copper kid slippers is its near
est rival. and red calf is devoted main-
lily to sport oxfords with the frInged
tongues in a contrasting color.
