THESE ypcally Hungarian peasants haze been lost

agricultural lands. The 0ork is Stephen SremtgyargyTs

the press Of Prague, Belgrade and
Bucharest.
The four statues have been placed
in the largest and most beautiful
public square of Budapest, called
Szabadsagar-ter (Liberty Square).
They are described in the Budapest
newspapers as the work of Hun
gary's foremost sculptors. They are
named "North," "South," "East"
and "West," representing the four
regions ceded to Czecho-Slovakia,
Jugo-Slavia, Rumania and Austria,
respectively.
The Four Figures
The North, taken by Czecho-Slo-
vakia, shows the figure of faint
ing woman, representing Hun
gary, being supported by a Slovak
warrior and his little son. The
Magyar revanche party claims that
the Slovaks who inhabit the north
ern region do not acquiesce in Czech
rule and wish to be reannexed to
Hungary. A number of Slovak poll
ticians have been recruited by the
Magyar government to conduct
this we'll financed anti-Czech propa-
ganda, which, however, has no root
among the Slovak population itself.
The warrior in the monument is

was her rulers who, in their chauvin-
istic megalomania, engineered the
attack on Serbia in 1914; it is her
rulers to-day who, alone among the
defeated nations, openly brag about
their fixed determination not to sub
nit to the will of the victorious
Allies and to "start it over again"
as soon as they get chance.
The Treaty Of Trlanon deprives
Hungary of half her pre-war popu-
lation and two-thirds of her old ter
ritory. The detached provinces have
been joined to Czecho- -Slovakia,
Jugo-Slavia and Rumania, respec-
lively. No doubt the judgment exc
cuted upon Hungary is harsh one,
assigning as it does about three mil
lion Magyars to foreign rule. But
the injustice suffered by the Mag
yars to-day is not as great as was

the injustice suffered by their Slav
and Rumanian subjects in the days
before the war. This is true all the
more as to-day the Czecho-Slovak,
Jugo-Slav and Rumanian govern
ments are infinitely more enlight-
ened and democratic than the gov
ernment Of Hungary, where the old
time militarists and imperialists
have regained ascendancy and main
tain a military dictatorship of the
severest type.
The rulers of Hungary assert pub
icly that they have signed the peace
treaty under duress and argue that
obligations imposed by force are
neither legally nor morally binding.
This sort Of talk-the special Mag
var brand of the "scrap of paper"
ideology-is going on incessantly in

the National Assembly and in every
public gathering.

 This new murder squad, as Chief Fitzmorris calls it, will make homicide a dangerous thing in Chi cago. Too many murderers have gone free because the police did not handle the case intelligently at the start.
 "Murderers are overrated crimi- nals. I've been coroner's physician for 24 years and performed 1000 postmortems on the bodies of slain men and women. 1 can say, as a result of the experience, that | have never yet encountered what one might call real, high-class mur- der. There is no such thing. Mur- derers, as a rule, are inferior peoi pie, bunglers, unscientific and de- void of any intelligence Tn their crime. They can be apprehended in every case if luck and the complexi- ties of the city do not combine in I0eif IdNOI bOD ucbSilutliChiNs
 There are, generally speaking, two kinds of murder. One is the unpremeditated crime which devel- ops as an auxiliary gesture to rob- bery or assault. The other is the motive crime.
 ''The first thing to do in case, therefore, is to decide as nearly as possihIe whether the murder is what you might call accidental or wheth- CT it is logical climax.
 'I make no pretentions to being gifted in the detection of crime, but I do know that a straightforward, procedure will be an in- in Chicago and will result in the arrest of twice as many as in the past.

erecting special scenes. These some times entail enormous expense and the services of an army of work men.
 An example of the extent to which producers go to present real istic settings may be seen in the case of huge cathedral built on the grounds of the Goldwyn Pictures Corporation, at Culver City, Calf. The cathedral was made for the Basil King story, "Earthbound,' v and the interior measures 240 feet in length and 90 feet in width It was constructed on one of the largest stages on the Goldwyn prop erty, and contains large crucifix built in proportion to the dimen- sions of the cathedral.
 The imposing figure, in its niche, is 172 feet over all, and is in re- lief, three-quarters round, the head relief being fourteen inches. Two tons of clay were used in building molds for 1t, and the plastic depart ment of the studios worked several tion of Edward 4. Cushing. The crueifix itself was made by c. J, Schreiber, who makes all the figure molds at the studios.
 The material used to make the crucifix is composition that has the appearance and almost the hard ness of stone. It is the result of two years experimentation at the studios, and has the advantage of being sufficiently viscuous, when fresh, to be poured into mold
 There are many materials similar to stone which might have been used, but they do not photograph to look like stone, and so the home made discovery is now used in all construction that represents stone
 The base of each of the massive columns which tower upward to the dome is nearly five feet square. The pulpit rail is eleven feet from the floor; and the seven-branched candlesticks are ten feet high. From the floor to the top of altar and reredos is twenty-two feet, with a width of fifteen feet. The wains- cot in the trassept and baptistry is sixteen feet in height. The small Ter pillars are thirty and the larger ones seventy feet in height.
 The lighting of the great church interior for the Basil King picture, "Earthbound" is perhaps the most exactins and elaborate example of motion picture illumination ever perfected. The huge interior of the cathedral required a large amount ot current; but the most difficult requirement. was the effective diff fusion of the artificial light to ere ate q general atmosphere of dirnness along with the suggestion of sun- light streaming in through some of the high windows. Tn order to ob- tain this effect, high intensity spot lights were built at the Goldwyn studios, and placed on scaffoldines outside the windows.

Modern Sherlock
 OM Murder Cases

Murderers in Chicago are likely to get themselves into & lot of trouble if they happen to forget and engage in their popular psstime of killing betweca the hours of II ?. m. ana s a. m. Between those hours the citv's newest Sherlock will be on the job. sad he says that by the proper application of science It Will not be such a great task to appre- bend the man who forgets.
 The new 'dectector" is pr. Joseph Springer. coroner's physician for A years and now head of the newly organized murder squad' of the city police force.
 And--here is a big feature-there will be no policemen or old style detectives connected with the new squad. Dr. Springer will have asso- ciated with him police stenogra- pher and finger print expert.
 Following a conference with Chef Fitzmorris and Coroner Hoffman, Dr. Springer prepared list of in structions to members of the po- lice department. These instructions pertain only to cases of murder of suspected staying. First of all. when member of the police de- partment discovers that a murder has been committed, it shall be his duty to notify his precinct station, and allow no one to touch the body of the slain person.
 Hereafter" Dr. Springer said, sI will respond to any murder case between II o'clock at night and s in the morning. The coroner's of flee will handle all other cases which do not come under my personal su- pervisioa.

A STORY AND 4 SEQUEL


 Ahab, the King of Israel in Sam aria. married the wicked Gentle Jezebei, and forsook the religion of his fathers and bowed down to the worship of Baal. Then came years of drought and consequent famine. Elijah, the prophet, returned to Samaria and Ahab sent out to him an earnest request that he pray to the true God of Israel for rain. And Elijah went up and prayed and sent his servant beyond to look for signs but directly he returned and said, Master, there is no sign. And Elijah sent him again for seven times but the seventh time he re- turned saying Master, there is little cloud out of the sea like a mans hand" Then Elijah said toI his servant, Run and tell King Ahab there is great rain com ing" And it rained sufficiently. It seems that the sign was right (See 1 King; 1S)
 In our own land, we are having a great drought" but as Elijah said to Ahab, "Get thee up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of abundance of rain" so would your prophet say to you, Look up, for the signs are right. Manufactur- CTS jobbers' and retailers stocks are low and there is a threadbare world trying to buy that, of which, you think we are overstocked; there was supply to last two years if there were no more cotton raised. Buy a bale do something to get the stuff out of sight," but inside of twelve months the same econo- msts were begging, through the pull pit, the rostrum and the public print to increase the. cotton acreage as a world shortage was in sight. This year there will be reduced acre. age. Peace will soon be declared. Exchange will be stabilized. The world will be clothed and, includ- ing the cotton trade, they will be in their right hands.

LET THE CAT OUT OF TIE BAG

--A AAAA &rAA OG UT F1E 6AA
 Now it is a well-known fact that cats are not as docile as pigs. When Perky finds himself tied up, he heaves sigh or two but makes the best of the situation. Tabby has a different disposition; when she as certains that she has been deprived of her freedom, she rues the day of her downfall. She does not resign herself to her fate, but firmly re- solves to leave undone nothing that may restore her liberty.
 Sometimes Tabby would scratch her way out at the moment when the purchaser paid the price or while he was still dickering for the supposed pig. Sometimes a thought less helper would undo poke; Tab by, of course would jump out in a streak like the proverbial greased lightning.
 In modern usage, the eat is a secret and the bag is persons mouth. Thus the cat readily slips out when careless words are spoken.
