WATSON ATTACKS RESERVE.
Georgia Senator Pleads for Free
Books in Common Schools.

Addressing the annual rally and
barbecue of the Georgia Farmers
Union July 4th, United States Sena-
tor Thomas E. Watson attacked the
federal reserve board in Washington
charging it with wag;ng warfare on
American business.
Quoting from figures given by John
Shelton Williams, former comptroller
of the currency, the senator declared
the federal reserve board for the last
ten months had conducted war against
American business as ruthless, fright
full and destructive as the Germans
conducted OH land and sea-" He said
the destruction of values caused by the
contraction of the currency by the
board without notice or warning had
amounted to about $31, ,000,000,OO0.
Senator Watson also made a strong
appeal to the Georgia legislature to
provide during the present session for
free school books in the common
schools.
Governor Hardwick also addressed
the gathering which was estimated at
between 10000 to $4,000 persons

National Farmers Union, whose home
is here, presided ana directed the
singing, which included patriotic and
religious songs.
Both Mr.. Watson and Governor
Hardwick discussed the race question
briefly. Mr.. Watson urged self-n-
straint and conservation on both
sides and full legal rights for the ne
gro.
"To go further than that is tread
ing upon dangerous ground" he added,
"The right to vote is political right.
Whenever the black man votes it is by
privilege of the white man who fought
out the civilization in which the black
man finds himself"
In touching upon the race problem
Governor Hardwick declared "God Al
mighty made this a white mans coun-
try and by His splendor and grace
we will keep it So"
Congressman Upshaw, of Georgia,
and others also made addresses.

weathers Effect on Bride.

Cold and hunger In England has
driven armies Of birds, even the wild
est, into streets and gardens and un.
wonted places. Great f1ocks Of green
plover, which are singularly shy as a
rule, appeared in the stackyards and
paddocks Of Hertfordshire villages. In
Buckinghamshire several thousand
rocks in a flock was no rarity; and
old scouts came right up to the back
doors and competed for their food
with the poultry and the pigs. In Lon
don it was curious to see the pigeons
feeding busily on the ice, to the oovi-
GUS irritation Of the gulls, whose bills
are useless for securing fragments
from a hard surface. 1t was hard to
be defeated by a land bird Inc their
own element. Starlings showed even
greater ability in picking UP morsels
from the foes and even the water OF
the river, feat very foreign to their
nature.

IN THE NAME OF RELIGION!
Weird and Savage Rites INDUCED In
by the Khlysts, Sect OF
Russian Fanatics.

One Of the queer religious sects OF
the world is the Christs or Khlysfs OF
Russia. They hold their meetings IN
their churches with hundreds Of men,
women and children attending. After
prayers and hymns that last until
midnight they begin a wild dance amid
sobs and groans. After this con-
tinues for while they abandon their
garments and put on white robes and
white stockings. Candles are lighted,
and q new dance begins that consists
Of rapidly revolving, the men to the
right, the women to the left.
In a short time a sort OF madness
falls upon them. They leap, scream,
beat themselves and each other, In
dulge in wild laughter and cries, and
then begin to tear off the garments
with shouts of "It Is coming, the Holy
Spirit is comingw They begin to go
about on all fours, riding on one an
others backs, rolling about on the
floor, biting and scratching one an
other, and at last go entirely insane
and dash about until they fall ex-
hausted. By dawn the church floor
Is covered with naked men, women
and children, unconscious and blood
stained.

BURIED WITH THEIR HUSBAND
Wives of Members Of the Barau Tribe
Of the Congo Are Inferred With
the Corpse.

The Barua tribe in the Congo dis
trict of Africa have number OF
strange and horrible customs, but OF
them all their burial customs are the
most terrible. When a man dies
large grave is dug. The corpse and
his wives-these may be anywhere
from two to twenty-are escorted to
the hole with wild music and the in
terested attendance Of the entire tribe.
The chief wife Is thrust into the hole,
and the corpse Is then lowered. The
second wife follows. The dead mans
relatives then proceed to break the
arms and legs Of the two wives so
they cannot get out Of the hole. The
head Of the corpse is placed in the lap
Of the head wife, and the feet In the
lap of the second wife.
The rest of the wives are then thrust
into the hole, their limbs broken, and
they are forced to sit in circle about
the corpse and Its human supporters.
The priest chants q few words, and
everyone falls to with rude shovels,
dishing earth into the hole. They new
er stop until the grave is full and the
corpse and the living wives buried far
under the earth. The howls Of the
wives with their broken limbs and fear
of the terrible death are drowned by
the banging of drums and the yells OF
the delighted tribe.

Microbes In Sugar Bowl.

About one per cent OF the CUBAN
sugar crop, valued at S1,50O,OOO, Is
each year destroyed by greedy micro
organisms too small to be seen except
when congregated in crowds Of nil
lions. Molds and bacteria are The
culprits. 1t is estimated that each
person in the United States consumes
S1.S4 pounds of sugar each year. At
this rate, $4,000 persons could be sup
piled with the sugar destroyed by
germs. The sugar loses it's sweetness
when the molds consume the sucrose,
its "sweetening" principle.

The Boy Of II

The three children were on the
street car on their way to school-a
boy and two younger sisters. The SIS
ters disputed who was to push the
button to notify the street car con-
ductor to stop the car. The older sis
ter won and held her finger On the
button for more than block. Then
her brother rose, pulled her hand
away arbitrarily and pushed the but
ton. The older sister stepped into
the yestibule, followed by her sister,
to be the first to step off the car. AS
It stopped, the brother brushed them
aside and led the way. The sisters
having alighted. waited for the car to
20 on, but the boy rushed across the
tracks, ignoring the warning changing
Of the bell by the motorman.

Save Surplus Butter.

At this season OF the year the dairy
division has many inquiries asking if
there is any way . store surplus but
ter so that it will be good for use in
seasons of shortage, says NJ. R: Toll
strup, associate professor of dairy
ing, who gives below simple instruc-
tions by which the surplus butter of
the early summer months may be pre-
served for future use. Because of the
disposition on the part of many farm
ers to give more attention to home
dairying, there seems to be a consid-
erably greater surplus of farm butter
this year than ever before.
Churn the butter in the usual way,
but be sure to wash it well with pure
water so that as nearly as possible all
the buttermilk is removed. This is
important because in butter the case
in part Of butternilk, is the first in
gredient to spoil or deterioate. The
buttre should be ,alted and worked iii
the usual manner.
When this is done, secure a stone
jar of suitable size for the amount
O: butter to be stored. Clean the jar
properly and pack the surplus but
ter solidly in the bottom if it., Then
cover the butter with about two inches
of saturated salt brine solution, which
may be obtained by taking clean, cool,
water and putting into it as mucn
pure cooking salt as will dissolve there,
In place of the salt solution, dry salt
to the depth of one or two inches may
be put on top of The butter. The pur-
pose of salt or brine is to exclude air
bacteria from outside sources. Then
cover the Jar vita a clean cover and
put aside in a clean, cool, and prefer
ably dark place until the next churn-
ing is made and 4 new supply of but
ter is to be put in the par. At such
time uncover the jar and empty the
salt or the brine and if desired rinse
the top of the butter in the jar with
cool water to remove any surplus
salt or brine. Adj the new supply OF
butter as before and set the jar aside
until the next churning time.
Butter put up IN this manner will
keep for several months without los
ing very much of its original fine flaw
or and aroma or any of its food value
and wholesomeness. Best of all, it
provides a profitable market for sur
plus farm butter and assures a con-
venient supply of butter at reasonable
prices during the season of shortage.

X-Bays Of High e
Frequency To Be
Tested i'm Cancer
Harvard Commission, at Its
New Hospital, Expects DR..
Duane's Discovery To Be
as Eficacious as Radium
Special Dispatch TO The Tribune

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 13.--X-
rays of high frequency will be used
for the first time in America in the
treatment of cancer at the new hos
pital being erected in Boston by the
Harvard Cancer Commission. DR.. Will
liam Duane, professor of o-physics
at Harvard, who will be in charge of
the labora tories there is the discoverer
OF the process of speeding up the x
rays so as to make them valuable for
the treatment of cancer.
Physicians up to this time have used
radium almost exclusively for this pur-
pose, despite its scarcity and dearness,
because the so-called Gamma rays"
given off by it were more penetrating
and therefore more efficacious than or
dinary X-rays. DR.. Duane has worked
out system of increasing the pene-
trating power of X-rays by increasing
the voltage of the current used in the
N-ray tube, which in turn increases
the frequency of the rays. A current
which approaches 50,00O volts is used
and according to experts, the high fire.
quency X=rays are very nearly as
effective as the Gamma rays of radium.
1t is said that the Germans have
made considerable headway recently
with the use of high frequency X-rays
in alleviating cancer. Belief that they
can be used fully as adyantageously in
America is expressed by DR.. Duane
The life insurance companies of Boston
have contributed $4,000 toward the
erection of the new hospital, believing
that physicians there will be able to do
much toward prolonging the lives of
cancer patients. ...
To prevent the repeated exposure of
physicians and operators of the X-ray
nt,1p 10 ttS do ba
cancer commission is installing the
machine in a room all by itself in the
new hospital. The walls of the room
will be reinforced with lead through
which the rays, cannot penetrate. Ap-
plication of the rays will be made in
an adjoining room through slit in
the wall ..tt

In the World of Shipping

Evidences of the faYreaching effects
OF the depression in shipping continue
TO develop. Idle ships are accompanied
by decline in shipbuilding, which in
turn makes :tself felt in the iron and
steel industries and those producing
other material going into the construc-
tlon OF vessels. Lack of cargoes means
less marine insurance to be written
and less coal and oil fuel TO be con-
sumed in the operation of ships.
Another result is decreased employ
naent for tankers, and this has mani
tested itself in advertisements by the
Shipping Board for the first time Of oil
carrying vessels to charter. With the
tuelng stations around the world we'll
supplied and sharp decline in the de-
mand for bankers, the chief effect Is
fe.t by the tankers supplying those sta
tions, and shipping men expect to see
decrease in The demand for this type
of vessel. With an increase in ship
ments in foreign trade sufficient to
make & perceptible change in the pres
ent situation, however matters will
be different.
Salvage Projects Dropped
Following the armistice the question
of salving the ships sunk by U-boats or
German mines was very vital one, and
number of rojects were taken up for
carrying on this work with a view to
returning the lost tonnage to service.
Several schemes for raising the Lusi-
tania were developed. Other plans were
formulated for regaining millions of
dollars in gold from the bottom of the
sea, and a start was made in the way
of securing some of the treasure on
the liner Laurentic. Nowadays, how
ever, little is heard of these ambitious
projects, Values of ships have, receded
to a point where the disposal Of the
salvaged property could hardly be eff
fected at any profit. Ships at the bot
tom of the ocean will probably remain
where they are.
AS to the general situation, no i'm
provement is to be reported in freights,
and in some cases reductions are stated
80 have been made, notably in rates 70
the United Kingdom. This is one of
the few European trades in which there
has been no rate war, and the reported
reductions, therefore, are to be re-
garded as the mutual action>of the lines
concerned The fact that shippers have
been finding it cheaper to send goods
at cut rates to Continental European
ports and then transship them to the
United Kingdom than to ship direct to
Great Britain is probably factor in
the lower rates now said 70 be in effect
in regard to number OF commodities
on vessels in the United Kingdom con-
ference.
Some Optimism Shown
In some shipping quarters there IS
a somewhat more optimistic view o.
the situation than has prevailed Tor
some time past. Sir Edgar Mackay,
