 The official announcement by the reparations commission that Germany would place at its dis posal 15o,ooo, 900 gold marks and had promised to pay the balance of one billion due before May 31, is greeted with undisguised, but somewhat guarded, satisfaction by the French press.

 AID CLAIMS II.
 UPPER S|LES|A
1RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON. May 1S-Poland, in appealing to the United States for support in it's claims to Upper Silesia, said that the inter-aliied plebiscite commission had been holding in sus- pense for two months a decision and was playing with the high strung feelings of the population.
 Tt is rumored," said the note. that a decision will not be in accordance with the outcome of the plebiscite, but in accordance with the political combinations and interests of powers represented in the inter-allied pie biscite commission and the supreme council.
 The result of an unfavorable de- cision on Upper Silesia would be the return of over a million people under German bondage. Previous settle ment of Polish affairs by the supreme council gave a basis for such sup position. Inasmuch a the popular impression fin Poland is that the de- cision on Danzig, Wilno. etc, taken by the delegates of the allied powers with the exception of France be prompted by principles of justice but by the material interests of its pow CTS, it is not surprising that the Poles of Silesia rushed to arms and pre- ferred to perish rather than to submit to political combinations.
 "The Polish government which dis approves of such methods consider ing always the legal way as the only course has closed the Polish frontier and is trying to calm the uprising. It addresses itself. however, to the allied and associated powers in the name of humanity and justice not to make experiments in severing united pop ulation, appealing to make their de- cision at the earliest possible moment and in strict accordance with the promise of just plebiscite given to the Upper ,Silesian population.

Dismiss Blues.
BY DR.. R. H. BISHOP.

Not all worry is preventable,
yet much of it, as well as its i'll
effects. can be avoided. Worry
usually is brought about by the
fact that the normal protective
instinct is stimulated by a nor
NAL fear of events that are rea
sonably sure to happen in the fu-
ture, unless means are adopted
against them.
Most of our fears, however are
never realized If we meet our
troubles day by day as they come
without worrying about them be-
forehand, we find that we have
the strength to overcome them.
Worrying weakens the mental
forces. The best antidote is a
change of mental occupation.
Get away from the scenes which
provoke worry, exercise in the
open air. read one or several
good books of lighter strain.
find pleasant recreation or an eb-
sorbing hobby. A temporary
change of occupation where pos

relief from worry.

often arise from excessive worry
and great mental strain. When

57,7S2. The death rate from tuber-
culosis is 14.2To higher in the South
than in the Nation as a whole. One
reason for the exceedingly high death
rate in the South is the great preya-
lence of the plague among the negroes
who are especially susceptible to tuber-
culosis, the death rate among them
being three and one-half times that
among the whites. But inasmuch as
the negroes will doubtless continue to
be intimately associated with the
whites in domestic and other work in
the future, the whites will never be
safe from infection until the negroes,
as well as the whites, have been freed
from the plague.
1t has been estimated that the to-
tai economic loss from the rayages
of tuberculosis in the South is S175,.
00O, 900 a year, and in projecting their
warfare against the plague the Bap-
lists hope to greatly reduce this loss,

Curing the JaiIbirds

Up in Ohio they have gone
back to the chaingang system of
working Jail prisoners to make
them pay for their keep and to
earn the amount of their fines.
Heretofore, for a number of
years. the prisoners sentenced
to Jail have spent the time most
Iy in idleness, with the result
taxpayers have protested against
the keeping of such prisoners in
Jail at the expense of the county
with no return from them IN the
way of labor.
Portage county. Ohio, solved
the problem. 1t had several
prisoners in the county Jail serv-
ing fines of $100 to $1,000 for
violation of the prohibition laws.
This class of fellows did not care
how long they remained in Jail
but wnen they learned they
were to be put TO work on the
county roads it became a white
horse of another color.
Now prisoners in the Portage
county Jail are taken out at 7:S0
in the morning and work on the
roads until 5 o'clock in the after
noon. In order chat there may
be no unnecessary expense for
guards the "chain gang" sy stem
is used. For each day they work
each man is credited with 81 50
on his fine, so that the one with
the highest fine will ger out in.
five years, if he continues to
work.
Prisoners in all jails ought to
be compelled to work at hard
l,bor. If this plan could be fol
lowed everywhere there would
be fewer prisoners in Jail on ac-
count Of prohibition law viola
tions For while it is true that
many are tempted into the illicit
liquor trade by the large profits,
it is equally true that most of
the men engaged in the business
are engaged in it to avoid hon.
est and honorable work, for
which they have no no taste and
no inclination. Good old honest
work will cure the worst Of
these and when these men see
that this is true there will be
fewer to risk that kind of jail
sentence by breaking the prohi-
bition or any other law.-Stan.
