CLUB BUYS LORELEI ROCK
Famous Rhine Landmark Inspiration
of German Myth Soma.

Famous Rhine Landmark Inspiration
of German Myth Song.
Lorelel rock, on the Rhine, near st.
Goar, has been purchased by an ath-
letlc club in order to safeguard 1t
against Disagreement or usages not In
keeping with the historic surround
ings, according to a report from the
Rhineland.
The summit of the rock has been
bought for the sum of 1000 marks
and will in the future be used as a
drill ground.
The rock is a familiar landmark to
all travellers on the Rhine and stu
dents of mythology. 1t gives n re-
markable echo, which may account for
the legend attaching to it. In its COM
monest form the tale is that of a
Rhine maiden who threw herself into
the river In despair over a faithless
lover and became n siren whose voice
lured fishermen to destruction.

FLYER N JAIL
Barcelona Engineer Claims His
Machine Will Rise Vertically
From the Ground.
CAN DIP IN ANY DIRECTION
French Government Is Interested In
Invention and Will Send Technical
Commission to Barcelona to
Witness the Trials.

London.-Paris, according to the
London Daily Telegraph correspond
ent, is talking about a new flying ma
chine and the romantic story of it's
invention.
1t is called the "helicoptere," and
the inventor, NJ. Pateras-Pescara a
Barcelona engineer, made his discOv-
cry in the Sante prison at two o'clock
in the morning. 1t is claimed for this
new flying vehicle, in which the
French government is interested, for
1t will send a technical mission to Bar
celona to witness the trials, that pas
sengers can descend from the air with
the same comfort as though they were
sitting in armchairs.
How 1t Works.
The invention consists of an axle
fixed to a motor which is placed in
the vehicle. The axle sets in motion
sets of propellers, one set turning n
way, n another. The vehicle rises
vertically from the ground it can dip
in every direction, remain immobile in
space, and decend like an airplane
with engine stopped.
M. Pateras-Pescara, a nationalized
Argentine, who married an Austrian
princess, had to leave Italy when that
country entered the war. He came
to France, where he was employed in
the ministry of inventions. In 1916
he was at work on a bombing machine
which was intended to fly between
Paris and Berlin with a cargo of ex-
plosives at q speed of 1870 miles an
hour. He had had trouble with the
diplomatists and was watched by the
international police.
Arrested, he was taken to the Saute
prison, and it was in his cell on De
cember IS, 1916, that he solved the
problem of the "helicoptere." The ex-
pulsion proceedings against him were
dropped, and after his release he ap-
piled himself to his invention.
Proves Successful.
In August, 1919, a mission from the
French air department went to Bar
celona to witness the trials of his
parachute "helicoptere,' and as a re-
suit of its report a contract was
signed with the inventor. Compelled
to reside outside France, NJ. Pescara
built a definite model of his machine
at Barcelona. 1t was tried recently,
and It Is said that the spropellers

SEEK CHEST OF GOLD
Treasure Hunters Have Long Digged
for Fortune on Farm.

The farm of John Ford, near King
man, Kan, Is the site of a buried
treasure mystery which is periodically
revived by persons who go there seek
ing a chest containing $4,000 in gold.
The story Is still fresh In the minds
of the older settlers here, many of
whom say they believe the chest occu-
pies the cache where it was secreted
80 years ago by an army paymaster
when he and his detail were attacked
by Comanche Indians and later killed.
The paymaster and his men were en-
route to an army post to pay the sol
diers.
They are supposed to have been
camped near two big springs on the
Ford farm when the attack was made.
Both springs were well-known stop
ping places In the day of the prairie
schooner and cattle trail, and it Is to
them the present-day treasure seekers
go In their quest Of fortune. The in
formation Of all seems to agree on one
point-that the gold was buried neal

Baptists Are Growing People

Southern Baptists have, a world
program. With the enlargement
of their foreign mission program
in Europe, Syria and Armenia
and the Far~East, Southern Bap-
lists have important work on
overy continent and are seeking
to minister to ohe-fourth the
population of the globe.
In 1920 there were approx
mately $50, 900 Baptists in all the
world.
By 1920 that number had in
creased to approximately $780,
900.
A corresponding growth during
the next hundred years will give
the world Baptist strength Of
200, O0O,000or more.
According to the 1916 Y. S.
Religious Census, Baptists made
a larger proportionate grain than
any other large denomination
from 1906 to 1916.
While most other denomina-
tons were experiencing a loss Of
membership in 1919, Southern
Baptists made a net gain of 3d.

During evangelistic efforts in
1920, approximately IT'S, 900 new
members were admitted to
Southern Baptist churches by
baptism alone.
But-there's no time for resting
on our laurels.
At least one billion people in
the world have not yet heard of
Jesus Christ.
In the territory OF the SOuCh-
ern Baptist Convention there are
approximately Is, 500, 900 men,
women and children ten years Of

Having made our vows to God,
let us honor Him with our pay
ments, even as He favors US by
promptly fulfilling all His prom
Uses to US.
Baptists must support large
program. Having refused to &c

ADDITION TO NATIONAL MENU
interesting Exhibit at Washington OF
Plant Foods That May Be
Grown for the Table.

An interesting exhibit of fruits and
vegetables was prepared by the Office
of foreign seed and plant introduction
of the United States department of ag-
riculture for the benefit of the agricul.
tural editors who recently met In
Washington.
Ranged upon the tables were speci
mems of cassava root, dasheen tubers,
udo shoots, passion fruit, white sapote
fruit, chayOtes, and last, and best Of
all. collection Of highly colored and
extremely fragrant mango fruits.
All the vegetables and fruits were
fresh and all were grown In the United
States at government stations.
The culture Of some of the vege-
tables and fruits represented at the
exhibition Is limited by climatic condi-
tons to our southern states but this
feature will not bar them from the
northern and western markets. The
exhibition In this respect gave some
idea of the-increased range given to
tie American bill of fare by the intro
duction of these plants for commercial
purposes.
The udo, celerylike shoot Of JAP
anese vegetable, Is not limited by eli
mate and is now being grown success
fully as far north as Nova Scotia. It
is a salad vegetable of particularly
pleasing taste and texture-something
quite strange to the American palate.
The value Of the exhibit is In the
fact that each Of It's members has
passed beyond the experimental stage
Of culture and may be regarded as an
accepted agricultural resource.
