NAKEDNESS IN EUROPE.

Eastern and Central Europe, and
particularly the children, is nearer
nakedness than it has been at any
time since the close of the Napoleonic
wars. In recent review of present
European conditions the American
Relief A administration announced.
"From the standpoint of food condi-
items are better; from the standpoint
of clothing, they are worse
All observers agree that the need
will reach a climax next winter
Where no clothes have been bought
since 1915, except by the sale OF
household articles and heirlooms, the
accumulated stores of years are bound
to be exhausted in time, and that limit
has now been reached in most famil-
les. This is as true in the homes of
tic formerly well-to-do, who are the
new poor as in the homes of laborers
and peasants.
The chief reason why Europeans
cannot buy clothes is the dcprecia-
ton of their currency. Americans
little realize what havoc this depreci-
alton has wrought in the economic
structure of the old world 1t has
brought the value of what was once a
comfortable income in Vienna-15 900
crowns or $4,000 year-to $50. Pol
ish money has fallen twice as far a.
the money of Austria; in Warsaw TO-
600 marks once worth $25 900 manner
lean money, will now bring only $40.
The effect of this money situation
upon clothing is clear when it is real.
lied that Central ard Eastern Europe
import their clothing or the raw ma
terials of clothing from countries
whose money is normal or nearly nor
NAL. Hence, in Vienna a suit of
clothes costs a university professor
three months salary. A pair of shoes
cannot be bought in Poland without a
family's going hungry for month
SO desperate is the situation babies
are born with no provision made for
clothing them and the sick in the hos
pitfalls are dependent upon paper band
ages. American Red Cross workers
say that the number of mothers in
Europe who will he unable to provide
clothing for their newborn babes will
pass the million mark. Hundreds Of
thousands of children will have no
shoes when cold weather comes unless
they are provided in advance by Am

wide. Those who want to know how

Causes of Yellow Fever.

That yellow fever has two different
causes instead of one is the theory of
DR.. G. Sampietro, whose experiments
have led him to regard the germ dis
covered by Noguchi as insufficient. 1t
is not easy TO assign all results to
mosquito carriers. He believes that
one agent is bacterial, producing the
typical symptoms of the disease, but
that some other agent-such as a III
terable virus-may give varying eff
fects. The character of the contagion
and the diffusion of the infection seem
to suggest a filterable virus. The fever
ish weakness in animals and the first
stage of the disease in man are at
tributed to the virus and the bacillus
is assumed TO be the cause OF the dis
turbances of the bodily organs and
other symptoms. 1t is thought the
virus may give rise to light forms of
yellow fever, one of which attenuated
forms may be dengue.

Bishop Homer Stunts said at DIN

very good thing.
"A war profiteer decided recently
to drop the Baptist faith and turn
Episcopalian, as all the bang-up people
in town went to the Episcopalian
church.
$50 he visited the bookstore and
asked for the hymnals, Bibles and SO
forth that he would need in his new
way to worship.
HE seemed well enough pleased
with the volumes that the salesman
laid before him till he came to the
Book of Common Prayer. Over this
he frowned and shook his head

tapped the title with his forefinger.

QUEER METHOD OF DEFENSE
Fishes That Have the Power of In
flating Their Bodies, Brighten
ing Their Enemies.

The swell fishes of tropic coast
waters have the power of suddenly
initiating the body with water or air
until they assume an approximately
globular form several times the normal
diameter, which must be discomfort
ing to any enemy about to seize one.
The porcupine fish, in addition to doing
this, has the body everywhere covered
with long, sharp spines which project
in every direction like the quilts of
hedgehog. The trunk fishes, in
stead of being protected in this way,
have the body encased in bony shell,
like turtle In the East Indies there
are rectangular species, but ours are
three-cornered, beechnut shaped. They
go by various names-cuckOid, she'll
fish, and so forth, the cowfish being
species with two hornlike spines
projecting from its forehead. They
are excellent eating, cooked in the
shell like lobster. Tie back muscles
of TIE swell fishes are sometimes
eaten, but make risky delicacy, as
there are Northumberland instances
of severe poisoning from eating these
fishes. The poison seems to be local
lied in the viscera and to permeate
the rest of the fish after death.

he came into the dining room and

tions.
In the bottoms of these deep valleys,
some of which are fairly wide and in
other depressiOns, tropical conditions
prevail, so that the possible products
of Abyssinia range from those of the
tropics to those of the northern tenn
perate zone. Little has been done
toward the development of agriculture
beyond its primitive stages. The rails
ing of cattle, sheep and goats for their
milk, flesh and skins is the more popu-
lar pursuit.
The Abyssinian has been described
by one American as rather an indie
pendent, easy-living, battle-loving,
Misunderstanding, sensual, devil-may-
care chap" Socially, the people are
living in feudal times. The various
reigning princes of the provinces owe
allegiance to the emperor and must
furnish soldiers to support him in
time of war. The land is theoretically
owned by the emperor and those who
make use of it are his tenants. Jus
tice'' is administered personally by the
rulers and their representatives. When
person is accused of a crime the
first step is to confiscate his property.
Decision as to his innocence or guilt
can follow in due time. Because prop
erty has been unsafe for a long period
people of wealth have buried what
they could for safe keeping. Vast
quantities of gold, silver and ivory
are believed to lie underground at the
present time, the latter of course, de-
teriorating.
Good Roads Are Scarce.
One great drawback to the CONNER
cial development of Abyssinia has
been the lack of roads leading up to
the high plateau and over it's surface.
The routes of travel which have been
used for more than a thousand years
are mere trails, and the burdens have
been carried on mule and camel back
since the days of the great Queen of
| Sheba. who the traditions of the
| AbysSinians say, was the queen OF
| Ethiopia. The royal line claims de-
scent from her and Solomon. Some
years ago the French began construct
| ing a railroad from their port Of
| Jibuti. Just below the mouth of the
! Red sea, toward Abyssinia. The
Abyssinians permitted this to be ex-
tended into their country and in 1917
it reached Ads Abeba, the capital.
| Over this road large part of the
hides, coffee, beeswax and ivory, which
| constitute the chief exports of the en-
pire, are shipped.
Specialists in various fields who
have visited the country believe that
this is but a small part of the prod
ucts that could be shipped to the
world, and that the people are enjoy
| ing but a fraction of the prosperity
that they might enjoy if they devel-
oped their resources along modern
lines.
AS the only African people which
has been able to maintain its indie
pendence in modern times in war
with European power, the Abys-
| sinians have became rather conceited
and are inclined not to recognize the
superiority even of Western civiliza-
ton and culture Their victory was
won over the Italians in 1896 at the
battle of Adowa where the pick of the
Italian army was cut to pieces. The
Abyssinians have bought large quanti-
Ties of modern rifles in recent years
| and could probably put in the field in
case of war an army of 100000 we'll
equipped soldiers, large part Of
them mounted.
