seed and plant enough land 10 pro

the fact that have stood beside heaps

bodies representing the remains Of 500
women and children killed In one spot
within the year-and these were only
a part OF the $4,000 non-oombatants

CLEANING UP LONDON

Twenty-Five of the worst slum
areas in London are to be wiped out
by the London county council. The
work is to be spread over the next
ten or twelve years and the govern
ment will assist in it.
"When the scheme, which involves
nothing less than the clearance of
all the slum areas in London is COM
pleted," says Colonel Leyita, chair
man of the housing committee, ''it
will have entailed the displacement
of some $4,000 people and an ex-
penditure of many millions Of
pounds. The main idea is to make
London a SUNLESS city.
"Such work cannot, of course. be
done on strictly economic basis,
but London viii benefit greatly by
the intensive campaign it is intend
ed to pursue, for better housing all
round viii mean better health and
therefore happier people"

CALLED "RAcE OF LIARS"

The natives of Togoland are a
race of liars, says an official report
on that British inundated sphere in
Africa which was taken over from
Germany. The report has just been
issued as a British "white paper
Togoland was at one time German
colonial possession in west Africa,
and has a population of 100000.
aThe natives have no letters, arts
or science says the report. "Con-
cealment of design is the first ele-
ment Of safety, and as this axiom
has been consistently carried out for
generations the native character is
strongly marked by duplicity. Even
in matters of little moment it is rare
for them to speak the truth"

IN SEARCH OF INFORMATION
Leading Question Regarding
CIergyman's Demise.

Reporters get their education by
varied means, and some Of their adj
ventures when breaking into the
game are notable. A wire came
from an eastern city a few nights
ago reporting the death of a resi-
dent Of this city. The only similar
name the new reporter could find
was that of minister, well and fa-
vorably known, and be called up on
the telephone. Not knowing how to
put the question, the reporter, when
man answered, asked who it was,
and, finding that it was the person
he wanted, then asked:
"Are you dead ~
Another young man, just breaking
into the game, called up the home
of negro minister for information
about the funeral.

was the answer.
"Will he come home at noon for
dinner ?" the reporter then asked.

native dances, writes Edward A.

While they moved their bodies
back and forth and waved their
arms in undulations of the dance,
they sang, keeping time to the mu-
sic by tapping their feet on the floor.
One girl, almost child, with a
high soprano voice, would chant the
first few notes of each verse. Then
the others would join in, the move
ments of their bodies Illustrating
the words OF the song, when usu-
ally was a tale of native life-of
hunting, fishing, war, love. The
tunes were chanted in high minor
key, but they bore suspicious re-

sionary hymns.
As the girls sang, their songs

NOT cLAssED AS ORNAMENTS
In the Early Days OF the World Jewels
We're Looked Upon and Priced
as TaIismans.

Seven thousand years ago jewelry
was in use. Probably it had its
origin not so much in the desire for
personal adornment as in the belief
in magic The earliest jewel was a
talisman of some sort, often stone
of no intrinsic value.
Jewels began to be objects of or
nament, as well as Of magic, about
the time when stones possessing
some inherent beauty began to be
used, at some indefinite period prior
to 5000 B. C.
The period from 5000 to $500
B. G. was marked by wonderful adj
vances in the making of jewels, and
the art reached its highest point in
Egypt about the latter date.
Down from the paleolithic period
had come the necklace, and, with
the early Egyptians jewels were still
necklaces. These had developed in
three forms Tubular beads, prob
ably bones; spherical beads, such as
drilled pebbles, etc; and disk beads
made from ostrich egg shells cut
into small disks, which were pierced
and strung. But these crude forms
began to be rapidly replaced by
attractive stones to which certain
magical virtues were also attributed

Found In Tropical Plants; East In
dians Consider Them as Charms
OF Greatest Value.

Probably everyone knows the sea
pearl, but not everyone is aware that
there are also vegetable pearls which
grow ON land. Now and then in GER
tain tropical plants curious hard
round substances are found, which
one may properly call pearls, since
their composition is almost identical
with the product of the oyster. In
Java, these substances are discov-
cred in the joints of bamboos. On
analysis they, are found to consist
Of almost pure carbonate of lime,
which is the material that goes to
make up the oyster pearl. Some
times the pearls are found in the
endosperm of the coconut, and they
also occur in the wood of the teak
and pomegranate trees. They are
sometimes the size Of hazel nut,
but more often rather smaller. How
these pearls come into being is not
really known. They are believed to
be due to excess Of calcareous and
silicious matter in the plant. In
the East Indian islands these pearls
are valued very highly as charms,
and the owner of one will not part
with it for any figure, because he
considers that as long as he holds
the pearl he will be immune from
all ills.

 JUDGE FAVORS GOVT. IN LIQUOR RULING

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-United States District Judge Hand today handed down a decision dismissing the motion of foreign and American steamship companies, who had sought permanent injunction restraining United States prohibition officials from putting into effect the Daugh- erty. Bone Dry ruling, by which ships entering American ports are forbid den to have liquor within the three- mile limit. Judge Hand extended the temporary order, however, with the proviso that the companies file immediately their appeal to the United States Supreme Court. In making his decisions, Judge Hand fla vored the Government on all points.

YUKON RIVER CAMPS
 THREATEN DISAPPEAR

SEWARD, Oct. 23.-The practical completion of the government railroad in Alaska marks the passing of the famous river camps along the Yukon, according to George Anderson, an ex- perienced Alaska traveller who de- clared that river travel already has been virtually abandoned.
 The withdrawal of the regular steam CTS recently left only the small mail launches plying along the river that was once the main thoroughfare be- tween Dawson and the coast.
 Without regular steamer service, says Mir Anderson, the bustling com munities of gold rush days will be cut off from communication with the outside world and other parts of the Territory, and unless new interest in the section is stimulated by the re-es- tablishment of lines to handle tourist , travel Mir Anderson believes these towns will soon be virtually deserted.
