ALLIED WAR LOANS
TO Be SOLD AS BONDS

Washington-President Harding and
his cabinet have decided to launch
their plan for the refunding of the
nations S1OOO0,O0OOOO war loans to
the allies into definite obligations and
for the sale of such securities to the
American people
The first step on the part OF the
administration will be to ask congress
for specific authority to carry out
this plan when it is worked out in
detail by the treasury.
Under the Harding refunding plan
these loans to the allies, which are
now in the form of five per cent ack-
nowledgements of Indebtedness, would
be refunded into bonds maturing 30
or 40 or more years hence at a higher
rate of interest. The increase In the
interest rate above 5 per cent would
be sufficient to yield the additional
amount due to the United States in
defaulted interest.
These allied government bonds then
would be placed on the market by the
U. S. government from time to time
and sold to investors. The proceeds
from the sale of the bonds to individ-
ual investors would be employed by
the government to retire liberty bonds.

AS an owner it is your right
to demand careful workmanship
on your car and it should be
your aim to see that you get
such workmanship. And for this,
two things are necessary:
l. Skill on the part Of the
workman.
9. Mechanical facilities to en-
able the workman TO do good
work.
Should the occasion ever arise
that your car might need the at
tention of skilled workmen, you
will always find it to your ad-
vantage to call on the Kent
Motor Car Company of Kent
authorized Buick service station.
For, in addition to getting
genuine Buick parts-parts man
ufacturcd to the exact specifca,
tons Of the originals-you will
get the service that has been
built up for just such emergen-
cieS,
Buick service is for Buick
owners. That is why dealers are
making such serious efforts to
equip their establishments with
the tools and machines that mean
so much in good Workmanship,
economy and promptness,

Skidd1nq is Overcome.

Attention is called In circular re-
port from Sydney, Australia, to a new
invention of front-drive vehicle
which entirely prevents skidding. A
test over 10000 miles of rough road
has been made, 1t is claimed, with no
signs of wear The front wheels are
piyoted in the center, which enables
the steering Of the car with much
greater ease than in the rear-wheel-
driven machine. The device is now
attached to an old worn British car
which, prior TO the attachment of the
device, weighed 30 cwt., with a speed
of thirty-eight miles an hour travelling
fifteen miles on one gallon of gasoline.
After alteration and application of the
front drive device, the car weighs 30
cwt.. has speed of forty-five miles
an hour and will go seventeen and one
half miles on single gallon of gaso-
line

Weathers Effect on Birds.

Cold and hunger in England has
driven armies of birds, even the wild
est, into streets and gardens and un-
wonted places. Great fiOcks of green
plOver. which are singularly shy as a
rule. appeared in the stacllyards 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 Obvi-
Gus irritation of the gulls, whose bills
are useless for securing fragments
from hard surface. 1t was hard to
be defeated by a land bird in their
own element. Starlings showed even
greater ability in picking Up mOrsels
from the foes and even the water Of
the river, a feat very foreign to their
nature.

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 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
tercsted 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 chsnts Il 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 bowls 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.

IN HE NAME OF RELIGION!
Weird and Savage Rites INDUCED In
by the KhIysts, Sect of
Russian Fanatics.

One of the queer religious sects Of
the world is the ChristS or Khlysts 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 a 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 short time 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 at is coming, the Holy
Spirit is cOmingn They begin to go
about on all tours, riding on one an
others backs, rolling about on the
floor, biting and scratching one an
other, and at last 90 entirely insane
and dash about until they fall ey-
hausted. By dawn the church floor
is covered with naked men, women
and children, unconscious and blood
stained.

tuberculosis in France.

pensaries in France only ten per cent

"happy omen" at the second interna-
tional conference. Only n few organ
izatlons were actively engaged in anti
tuberculosis work in France before
the war. Today, largely through the
activity of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton, in addition to the dispensaries
mentioned, there are 10000 sanitarium
beds for tuberculous patients; many
hospitals have provided isolation
wards; the boarding out of anaemic
children in rural homes has been or
ganized on large scale, and there is
national cooperation of all the agen-
cies concerned.

War of Science on Diseases.

OF the diseases of men and animals
known TO be infectious, DR.. Walter Il.
King counts up 50 having organisms
not yet discovered that are believed to
be so small as to pass through the Gus
tomary filters. These include chicken
pox, rabies, dengue fever, smallpox,
fractional, measles, poliomyelitis,
scarlet fever, typhus and humps, and
yellow fever was in the list until Doc
tor Noguchis recent discovery of the
organism. AS in the case of tubercu
losis, knowledge of the organism does
not always bring a direct remedy. On
the other hand, steps toward eradicat-
ing yellow fever, through the destruc-
ton of the germ-carrying mosquito,
were made possible while the disease
organism was still unknown.

Point of Honor.

Samuel Uu,ermyer, the brilliant New
York lawyer who probed the building
question, said in a discussion about
honor:
Business men are honorable; or
they don't get on. Even big business
men are honorable. OF course, few
business men are as punctilious about
point of honor. though, as Honest
John Jones was.
Honest John Jones, you know,
once stole on tiptoe, fountain pen in
hand, into the empty waiting room of
his hotel. He stepped stealthily up to
an inllwell, advanced his fountain
pen towards the ink, then drew back
with start.
"'Nor he groaned, striking his brow
with his palm. No, cannot fill my
fountain pen with the hotels ink--it
would not be honorable"

INDIANS ALL OF SAME RACE
Differences In Type No Greater Than
Among the Whites, According
to Scientist.


The American aborigines from the
Hudson bay and Alaska to the south
ern tip of the continent are all mem
bers of the same race, according to
DR. Frederick Monsen of New York
and Pasadena, said to be more ia
miliar with the American Indian than
any other white man.
Doctor Monsen declared the differ
ences in type found in Indians of the
various parts of the continent are be-
coming manifest among us today. He
recognizes people from Maine as typi-
cal of that section of the country, and
says southerner or westerner can
be easily distinguished by one familiar
with the types of American people.
THE aborigiues of America are all
red men, Doctor Monsen said. "The
Eskimos have fiatter noses and oily
skins, due to their diet and the eli
mate"
He found corresponding differences
among the Indians of the Eastern
coast the West, Mexico and other
parts OF the country, but other indica-
tons prove the distinguishing char
acteristics were the product of food,
and methods of living.
Mentioning the treatment the red
men have received from the whites,
Doctor Mensen said: "The Pilgrims
debarked on Plymouth rock and fell
upon their knees. Then they fell upon
the aborigines and we've been falling
on them ever since"
