Sahara Was Once Wet

Proof that the Sahara desert once
was wet has been produced by Jacques
Pellegrin, French scientist, and M. r.
Chudeau, member of the Academy of
Sciences in Paris.
Pellegrin reports the discovery in
the arid parts of the central Sahara
of the partly fossilized remains OF
large fish. From this he deduces that.
not so very long ago, there were large
water courses and lakes in the heart
of what is now an immense desert.
It has been known for a century that
the Sahara desert is cut through and
through by fossil rivers. But this is
the first time that actual proof has
been presented of the former fertility
of this vast tract.
Chudeaus recent studies in the Sa-
hara have led him to the conclusion
that these fossil" rivers formerly had
connected the northern coast. of Africa
with the southern side of the desert
For in the northern part have been
found the remains of the Ethiouian an
imals which could not have crossed
the Sahara in its present state.
Crocodiles. frogs and fish have been
found in out of the way parts of the
Sahara territory where they could not
have arrived under present conditions.

. DAILY MESSAGE
WHAT IS DUE us7
eY DR.. WILLIAM z. carton

If Mr.. Hartman was right in saying
that he is richest who owes the most
the European nations are very rich.
Great Britain owes the United
States four billions of dollars. FEenee
owes us three and one-third billions.
italy owes us one and two-thIrds biz
lions. All together the nations of Eu-
rope owe us ten billions of dollars.
They do not have the money. They
do not know where to get the money.
They can never pay their debts in
money. And with the present balance
of trade against them, and the cost
of exchange it is difficult to see how
they can pay US in commodities.
We have had several broad hints to
the effect that it would be a very gra-
cious thing for America to give those
sums to the nations OF Europe. We
are reminded that we were making
money during the first three years
when they were fighting. They would
hardly feel like begging that amount OF
money from US, but il we were dis
posed to give il, we should probably
have no great difficulty in persuading
Europe TO accept It.
Would Europe appreciate the gift2.
The answer is not altogether certain.
and we should hear Of our generosity
in a good many banquets. But it is
not certain that Europe would not
say in her heart, America has given
us only what she could wen afford and
less than we deserve"
1t is not likely that congress viii
vote to cancel these huge debts. How
then are they to be paid2
/ do not think that anybody knows
how they are to be paid.
One thing is true, SO long as they
remain unpaid and unforgiven, there
will be one more reminder that war is
expensive. The world has had several
such reminders. but apparently one
more win do no harm.

STORY OF THE LITTLE PRINCESS

STORY OF THE LITTLE PRINCESS
Away OFF in Carpathian, Russia,
there is q. school aided by the girls
and boys of the Juni-r American Red
Cross where thirty orphan children
have found home and kind teachers
who are training them to be useful men
and women in the years to come.
One day not very long ago. these Ru-
thenian children celebrated festival
by giving little play which was wit
messed by representative of the jun
Tor Red Cross. It was the unfolding
Of the Junior idea of unselfish service
for others.
When the curtain was drawn aside
there appeared beautiful little prin-
cess, so beautiful that everyone bowed
down before her. Bmt there was one
rebellious old man who declared he
would never bow before her. This
made the little princess very sad, un-
til her councillors told her the old man
would bow down with the Others when
beautiful
The princess went about to acquire
wisdom, and the Arts and Sciences
came to instruct her. After a time all
the people bowed before her. as much
for her wisdom as for her beauty.
Still the old man refused to make obei-
sance. Disconsolate because of this,
the little princess sat weeping in her
room when she heard some one crying
outside her window. Looking out she
discovered a group of hungry children
begging for bread. Calling them in,
with loving words, she gave them
bread and cake and sought to make
them comfortable and happy.
AS the princess sat alone wishing
that she might relieve all the misery
in the world, the old man entered and
bowed before her. He said, Il would
not worship you for your beauty, I
would not worship you for your Wis
dom, but worship you now for your
goodness Of heart. Beauty and wisdom
are only worthy of worship when they
are joined to goodness"

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
TROUBLE.
az OLIVE RoeERTs aARToN

TROUBLE.
Cap'n Pennywinkle and Curly, his
sea-horse, had had a terrible time
while the Twins were away on their
errand, and when they returned with
the fish-net there was the greatest
connection ever at the Cross Roads,
where the fairy-man policeman was
trying to keep order. You see Tub
Terapin was lying flat on his tummy
right in the way of traffic and ev-
erybody had to go round Cap'n
Penywinkle was so absorbed, trying to
get him out of the way, that he didn't
have time to direct the other big fish
es that came swimming by. The first
thing he knew, hadn't the old saw
fish bumped into big sea-weed tree,
not looking where he was going at
all. at all, and the first thing every
body knew, his big sharp saw had cut
the tree down and there it lay in ev-
erybody's road. AS though that helped
matters any!
And the next thing, didn't Mr..
Swordfish come laundering along
with his sharp nose not looking where
he was going and didn't he ram right
in to the big thick trunk Of the sea-
weed tree and there he stuck, taking
up all the spare room there was,
nearly.
When the Twins returned. Chp'n
Pennywinl1le and Curly were prancing
around, trying to get every-which-
way to get Mr.. Swordfish free. Mr..
Shark had come to help and Mr.. Ham
merfish and Mr.. Sturgeon and Mack
Mackerel, and I can't tell you how
many more The only thing was that
all the helpers had different ideas
about getting Mr.. Swordfish loose.
Mr.. Shark was for eating him at once.
and If hadn't been for Capn Penny
wrinkles magic badge, I'm afraid he
would have done so.
And all on account of lazy Tub Ter
rapin. There Tub lay, as unconcerned
as you please.

MISSING MILLIONS

Everybody is getting poorer in dol
lars. But there are practically as
many dollars in existence a. ever.
This puzzles a reader He asks,
Where have all the dollars gone to?
Who has them?"
Money in circulation for every per-
son in the country was 1858 in 1913,
It increased to a high point of $50. As
last November. Now 1t is down to
about $50.
Yes" you say, but dollars seem
to be disappearing faster than they are
taken from circulation. Where do they
go?"
Easily answered. Wash suit Of
wooden underwear. 1t shrinks, and you
wonder where the shrinkage has gone
The wooden garment hasn't really lost.
It merely has gotten tighter.
So with dollars. Money has shrunk
tighter. Dollars. as shown by bank
ciearings, are changing hands more
Slowly.
When dollars move slowly, we have
depression. When dollars gallop, there
is a boom. Whether you get $50 a
month or $50 a day depends on how
fast money is changing hands. That
depends on spending.
The chief thing that is wrong with
Us is lack Of capital, says Samuel M.
Vauclatn, president Of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works.
Yet capital, measured in terms of
buying power instead of face value, Is
just as big now as during the 1918
boom.
T,ass vonnax, fa a 80 III -. 1..
But that's compensated by the fact
that prices and wages are down so
that business can do as much with.
say 80 cents, as it formerly could
with 81.
Available capital didn't actually in
crease during the war. While the
boom was on, business was conducted
largely on imaginary capital-infIated
dollars. Now the dollar has run out
of war booze and is SOLDERING up. The
delusion, the imaginary capital is now
gone. But the loss is not actual
merely one Of bookkeeping.
In 1914 man bought a share Of
stock for $50. 1t rose to $3.50 during
the war. That man thought he had
made 5000. So he had-if he had then
cashed in, which few did. Most
couldn't resist waiting for the profits
to reach 5000. The increase was mag
inary-what Wall Street calls paper
millions"
Now the stock is down to $50 again.
And the owner walls that he has lost
5000. He hasn't lost anything. What
he thinks he lost. he never had. It
never really existed.
A railroads stocks and bonds fluct-
uate daily, yet the tracks, freight cars
and so, remain unchanged. Stocks
and bonds merely are certificates of
ownership in property. The property
hasn't changed though an increasing
buying power of the dollar makes it
look as the nations wealth is melting
like snow on a hot stove.
No. Rollo, we are not getting poor
er. We're merely learning ia talk
about the same commodities in terms
of thousands instead of millions.

vice President american T eoerarion OF
Labor.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-What is
the American Federation of Labor go
ing to do to combat the misnamed
open shop2
Put it out of businessi
why?
Because the misnamed open shop
is an obstacle to production.
Because it is device for the de-
NAL of human freedom.
Because it is a tool evolved by short
sighted persons for selfish purposes
and must therefore fall even to salts
fy it's promoters.
Because the active promoters of the
deception are paid agents conducting
drive because 1t provides promoters
with incomes easily earned.
LABOR'S PROGRAM
How will labor put this sham, shod-
dy. undemocratic idea out of business?
BY organizing, by convincing en-
ployers that only through co-opera-
ficiency.
BY showing them, as is being done
by union labor everywhere, that final
costs and the best workmanship can
be secured only through the earned
good will of labor through voluntary
agreement and cooperation between
employers and workers. As an ex-
ample, in st. Louis union building
workmen are demonstrating that the
efficiency developed by union work.
men on large buildings brings the
work to completion with sufficient
rapidity to more than equal what
would have been gained by a 20 per
cent reduction of pay with non-union
workmen.
BY constant reiteration of the JUS
tice Of the principle that workmen
have a right to organize ana to choose
representatives according to their
own desires and by the practice of
that principle.
It all comes down to education.
There is no other way to overcome
an evil
SHAMEFUL DECEIT
The open shop, which is not open in
men, is a shameful deceit, disgraceful
and harmful.
It was born Of greed and branded
with the dollar mark.
The success of the present organ
izing effort shows that success must
attend a right cause.
Our membership is growing every
where.
At the proper time figures win be
made known.
For today the work continues with
fun energy toward the five million
mark.

WORRY ABOUT NATIONAL pEaT.

You shiver when our national debt
lis mentioned. 1t is about $4,000, 600. :
600. A huge sum. Yet the interest on
it is only sS.65 a year for each Of US.
So with all our other national prob
lens. They look enormous, disheart-
ening, on the surface But there's an
enormous nation under our flag, to
share the burden.
We pay 1856 a year. each, to carry
our debt. Austria pays $106.77. Ger
many $41.61 (not including indemnity
France $47.76, England $34.45. Those
seem large, yet small enough to be
handled Europe can come back fl
nancially-if it keeps its head, works
hard and has sound leaders.

SHORT ARM JABS

Don't expect applause. Deserve it.
It's time to show nerve instead OF
nerves.
The highest form OF spending is
spending self for others.
If you lazily remain of no account

count.
How you fill your mind determines
very largely how you win fill your
pocket.
The fellow who is always late never
blames himself. If he did. he would
cease being late.
