KING BORIS HAS
DECLARED FOR
PEACE AND WORK

Sofia, Bulgaria.-King Boris. of
Bulgaria declares that peace and
work" is the motto of his reign and
promise of the future prosperity
Of his country.
"Neighboring peoples are storm
tossed" he said to the Associated
Press. Echoes of revolution and
discomfort sound distantly across
our frontiers and reach US in our
wheatfields where our peasants,
absorbed in their tasks, turn a
deaf ear to preachings of war and
adventure They are tired of war.
l have seen war myself and learned
to hate it.
I'VE ask for a small army but it
is only to protect the country from
the disorders that outsiders are
seeking to introduce. With such
brilliant prospects ahead of Bal
kan pacification and developme nt
it is a mystery to us how people
can say, as they do abroad, that
we are at odds with our neighbors,
are about to attack Greece or are
organizing bands to provoke strife
beyond our borders"
King Boris, who speaks English
fluently, has made a deep study of
America and American conditions.
He heard with pleasure that the
city of New York intended to send
him a work dealing with the birds
and flowers of New York state. His
majesty is an enthusiastic natural
list and has an extensive knowledge
of American fauna and flora. In
the royal parks and greenhouses he
has gathered an exhaustive collec-
ton of American plants and
flowers.
1T appears to me that the Amer
lean nation is taking a growing in
terest in Balkan cushions since the
war, not only from an economical
point of view, on account of the
large American enterprises here
but from a political one, too" con-
tinued the young monarch THAT
is an inestimable blessing both for
the Balkans themselves and for the
near east as a whole The interest
taken by the great transatlantic
republic, aloof from European and
Oriental disputes and intrigues, is
of great Importance for peace in the
Balkans The humane conduct of
America in the Thracian question
arouses the liveliest gratitude in
the hearts of our people.
The Bulgarian parliament. felt it
a privilege to make a gift OF one
of the best sites near Sofia for the
erection OF an American college.
Until now neither 1 nor my peo-
pie have had an adequate oppor-
tunity for expressing their feelings
of gratitude to the great American
nation"

HENS WHO FEEL
BORED WILL NOT
BE GOOD LAYERS

Durham, N. H.-The hen IS a
tempermental bird and must be
kept entertained
The secret of success with lay
ing stock is never toilet the hens
become bored.
When the hens lose interest in
life the poultryman must vary the
routine.
These are some of the rules laid
down by Rev. Marshall Dawson OF
Storrs, Conn, who besides being
popular Congregational clergyman,
is a successful poultryman. he
spoke at a recent conference or
rural pastors and religious work
ers at New Hampshire college
here, taking for his subject Profit
able Sidelines for Ministers" MIR.
Dawson took up poultry raising to
supplement- his income from
Preaching and has made a study
OF hen psychology"

"LOST" ISLAND
AND PETRIFIE.D
FOREST QUEST

London.-The voyage of The
Quest, the quaint little 200-ton ship
which is carrying Sir Ernest
Shackleton and his pa ~ to frozen
mysteries in the SoutL Polar Seas,
has for its detectives not only
oceanographic research but the ex-
ploration OF a petrif1ed forest and
the location of a lost" island
Tuanaki-the adjacent waters. of
which have been sailed for more
than 80 years. In addition, sound
ings will be taken of the ocean
plateau surrounding Coughs Is
land IN an effort to determine the
truth regarding a supposed under
tween Africa and America.
Nineteen persons. representing
each of the British self-governing
dominions, are expected to be
aboard when the tiny but staunch
craft, built for tight corners, B"
leaves Capetown, South Africa, for
two years of buffeting its way
through the Antarctic ice.
The Quest, which uses both sail
and steam, and which may cover
more than 10000 miles before its
return home, was constructed &C
eording to the personal ideas of
Shaekleton, who has made several
voyages to the Antarctic. He COM
manded the British expedition of
1sO7-Os, which reached within 81
miles of the South Pole and also
the expedition of 1914-15 TO We'd
dell Sea. His present ship Is Ill

in depth. She was built in Norway
in 1917 of oak, pine and spruce and
has been tested in heavy ice. Her
sides are two feet thick and her
bows are of solid oak sheathed
with steel, Her steaming radius
is 5000 miles and. under sail, in
stiff breese, fhs Quest can make
eight knots. She carries wireless
equipment and an airplane with a
25-foot wing spread She has

SOCIALISTS OF
ITALY FACING
ANOTHER SPLIT

Rome.-The Italian Socialist par
ty is again threatened with another
split. according to Deputy VincenIo
Vacirca, editor of the Socialist Or
gan Avanti, who for seven years
carried on active socialist propa7
eanda in America The split no"
Impending divides the party INTO
those who are forever opposed 10
the government and those VINO IN
the present situation wish to ansn
themselves with it
THE right wing of the Soclal1st
party is gaining adherents every
day," said Deputy Vactrca TO tne
Associated Press correspondent
I'VE of that wing think the Tune
opportune to collaborate with the
government in thel work OF recon
struction. According TO the decl-
sions of the last Social1suc conNen-
ton, we are not allowed TO parlci-
nate in the government thouSn
there is now opportunity for 1t ana
it would advance the interests VI
the working class.
IF this present Socialist parry
does not want to participate IN tue
government, we who believe IN col
Iaborating with the government
will leave it and form a new party
of our own men. I am sure that
a majority of the Socialist depa-
ties are in favor of joining hanus
with the Bonomi government
Large numbers OF radlcAl oo1 a.
lists are now turning mflder. Our
Convention meets next October in
Rome. The fight between left aad
right win be fought there and you
will probably see the two parties
formed out of the present ItaIan
Socialist party.
I'VE have at present 122 Sociaiist
deputies in the house o. oep 'u ra1

STATE CAPITOL
Is VISITED BY
MANY TOURISTS

Springfield, IIl.-More tourists
have visited Illinois capitol build
ing and grounds this summer than
any year during his FIVE years as
official usher and guide, according
to E. ]. Cruthis, who takes as much
pride in the public domains here as
he would if he owned them
more coast-to-coast tourists
have stopped in Springfield this
summer than any season l have
been here and they tell me we have
the best kept state house and
grounds of all the states between
California and Massachusetts"
Cruthis said with pride. Most of
the Californians brag about their
own capitol though"
Mr. Cruthis, whose home is IN
Sorrento, Bond county, is on the job
almost steadily as the statue of
Abraham Lincoln in front of the
state house. His office" is a chair
close to the bronze representation
of illinois Welcomes the World"
in the rotunda on the first floor.
There he watches the approach of
visitors. He detects the stranger
with uncanny perfection.
MAY l show you the building"
Cruthis inquiries oftener than Of
fee seekers ask the governor for
job.
The tourist Immediately begins
to feel that he is welcome to in
spect the premises from the top of
the 365 foot dome to the beautiful
flower gardens on the grounds.
Under the guidance of Mr. Cru
this, thousands of tourists have
covered practically every foot of
the building and listened to the ex-
PLANTATION, description and histori-
cal accounts of Illinois statehood
as portrayed in bronze and oils
from the lips of the guide.
Mr.. Cruthis knows his piece" as
well as he used to know the box
numbers of the natives of Sorrento
where he served many years as
postmaster.
The painting of Shadrack Bond,
first governor of Illinois, the elab-
crate ceiling of the chamber OF the
Illinois commerce commission,
which once served as the meeting
place of the supreme court, and
several indian pictures are among
Cruthis' favorite exhibits. His
chief difficulty occurs when a stub
born tourist demands an explana-
ton of the guides statement that
there are hundreds of Indians out
of sight behind trees in one of the
big pictures. Mr.. Cruthis resorts
to history to prove his contentious.

SIGNAL LAMPS
REGULATE NEW
YORK TRAFFIC

New York.-Again they're tinker
ing with New York's traffic
The police department long has
been unable to dodge the law OF
physics that two objects can't oc-
cupy the same space at the same
minute. And with the number of
automobiles increasing daily and
the crowd of pedestrians holding
its own, the traffic problem is be-
coming worse.
In the old days, traffic went up
and down Broadway much the
same way it does in any Main street
the country over-though with the
same hectic confusion that reigns
in the subways beneath the world
famous thoroughfare.
But a little while ago it was de-
cided that at night, at hours when
most theatre goers were bound up
Manhattan to their homes, Broad
wav between Thirty-eighth and
Fifty-seventh streets should be-
come q one-way street.
Now that plan has been aban-
doned. Merchants have complain
ed that the northbound nightly
traffic was diverting to other thor
oushfares business which should
come TO them
So Special Deputy Police Com
missioner Harris has ruled that for
a s0-day trial period two-way traf-
fic shall be restored-to be regulat-
ed by signal towers such as have
been operating for many months
on Fifth avenue. Signal lamps
atop these towers command traffic
all along Fifth avenue to halt or
proceed at the same moment II 8

work out all right on Broadway
