SHEEP INDUSTRY
 IS RECOVERING
 FROM C0LLAPS

Chicago, Sept. 29.-F'ive years will
 be required to overcome the effects
 of the recent collapse in the sheep in
 dustry, according to survey made
 public here today by the National In-
 stitute of Progressive Farming. How close the sheep industry in this country came to ann1h1latlon during the imitation period is not realized by the general public" stated
 out. Imported rams were butchered and sold as meat owing to the col lapse of the market
 There is mad scramble to get back into the business now that the market has returned to stable level,
 the survey states, and herds which all most disappeared are being revived The supply of breeding stock, sheep association officials say, is the lowest in twenty years and the demand for such stock on the Pacific coast is the
 greatest seen in double that time.
 Texas, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana also report a large demand. Tn the corn belt where the maize crops can be fed to three dollar nut ton, the problem is to find the lambs, ''
 declares the survey. Tt appears that
 a higher price for fat lambs will pre- :
 vail this fall, despite the present a1ti-
 tude.
 growing should be conducted as a side line rather than as an essential indus try. Sheep men are in the habit of
 virtually ceasing business when the wool market is against them, and then slowly working back when the tide | turns While the United States can not compete in the wool markets of
 the world with Australia and Argen- tina, yet it is unthinkable that the whole agricultural system should be
 thrown out of the balance by ignoring

Divine Heading Is
 Practised By Some Episcopal Churches

Chicago, Sept. 29-Consideration at the Protestant Episcopal triennial general conference of divine healing, and the question of giving it official sanction as part of church work. drew attention to the fact that several churches in the Chicago diocese all ready maintained classes in faith healing.
 Among such churches are the Church of the Redeemer, of which Rev. Dr. John Henry Hopkins is rec tor, and St. Chrysostom's, of which Rev. Dr. Norman P. Hutton is rector. The Rev. H. P. Pullin, assistant rector of St. Chrysoston, declared that the purpose of the class at this church was not to supplant the physician, but to cooperate with the. physician by strengthening faith and mind.
 Our method" he said, 'is that of James dickson, the Anglican Iayman who conducted meetings of healing in Chicago few years ago. It involves private prayer of intercession, meet ings with prayer and the laying on of hands. and private conferences with the i'll.
 .tThe people of the parish are much interested with the work. I know of no miracles that have resulted from it, but I am satisfied that those who have been generally strengthened. It is our endeavor to take their minds off their troubles and to make them realize that there is something higher than their minds which directs them"
 t"The question is not one of divine power, but of it's application said Rt. Rev. s. M. Griswold of Evanston, suffragan bishop of the Chicago dio-. cese. '.The report to the conference of the commission of the church which examined the matter was very thorough-going."

What Canada Has Done
 to Eliminate Strikes

The Canadians have gone a long way toward the establishment of in- dustria1 peace in their country. The law provides that where a, strike or lockout is threatened the: industries conducting transportation, communi- cation by telegraph or telephone, and mining, before such a lockout or strike can legally take place, the par ties must refer their differences to a board of arbitration for settlement. Each party to the dispute appoints a member of the board of arbitration and if these two can agree upon chairman, they appoint him; if not, he is appointed by the Minister of Labor. During a period of nine years. one hundred and eighty-two disputes were brought before a board of arbi- tration, and in only two instances was there a failure to settle the dispute. Here in the United States, in recent years, we have from two thousand to thirty-five hundred strikes annual ly. Perhaps the Canadian scheme is not altogether perfect. but who can say that it is not a better plan than the hands-off policy this country has followed with such futiity for so long?

Faith In Buddha
 Rules This Village

Tokio. Sept. 2e-Faith almost ap- preaching superstition still cnarac- terizes the simple-minded country folks attitude towards the image of Buddha. A despatch from Oyeda- machi, Nagano-ken. reports that an extra ordinary manifestation of such faith was made in Shiotamura.
 Because of the continuous drought the villagers assembled and held a prayer meeting before the local stone image of Buddha in the hope of call ing down rain. The meeting con- tinued for a week at the end or which, much to the disappointment or the villagers no rain came. The men were so seriously excited at the 'in- competency" of the Buddha that they beheaded the image. A few days later the rain came down in torrents.
 The intimidated men then pulled the head1ess Buddha by a rope up to a village physician for diagnosis after the traditional custom. The Dnys1- cion reinstituted the head by means of cement and bandaged the neck de- c1ared that he would be all right in a weeks time.

WHY KING MADE AUSTRIAN GIRL
 A DANISH ONE

Copenhagen, Sept. 29.-Large num- bers of Austrian children. parttc- enna have been spending their sum- merS in Denmark as guests of every class of the Danish community. But it has been distinctly understood be- ranging these charity visits and the Danish authorities. that no child should be allowed to stay in Denmark more than six months unless special permission for a prolonged stay were given.
 Many of these Austrian children have grown very fond of their Danish foster-parents and vice versa, and the leave-takings at the railway sta- tfons, when these children are sent back to Austria have in many in The youngsters did not hide theY sorrow and despair at going away.
 Little Mitzi Wolf-Schickinger is g, and the daughter of an Austrian col frontier during the war. Her mother was left to shift for Mitzi and her. self on a pension that hardly covered the cost of rent. and she was happy when she got an opportunity of send ing Mitzi on long holiday to kind and hospitable people in Denmark. Mitzi and her foster parents became very fond of each other. The latter managed to obtain permission for Mitzi to stay for whole year. But when the local auth horEtfeS could do no more, the foster-parents were told that Mitzi had to return to Vienna.
 The next day Mitzi and her faster mother left the provincial town in which they were living, and travelled all day and night to Copenhagen. His Majesty, the King, was going to give public audiences. and Mitzi and her friends had made a plan.
 The King received Mitzi She told him of her troubles, and that she wanted to stay forever in Denmark. Her foster-parents were willing to adopt here. and her mother in Vienna had consented to renounce all claims of motherhod. Could she possibly stay? King Christian smiled and kissed her and promised to look into the matter. A few days later she re- ceived 8 personal letter from the King telling her that he had used his royal prerogative in her behalf. and tl,at whenever she wanted to she could become a little Danish girl

Vindicating Woman's
 Claim to Equality

Mental tests have at last vindicated woman's claim to intellectual equality with man. AS far as the average ability of the sexes is concerned the question has received a final answer. Among psychologists the issue is as dead as the ancient feud as to the shape of the earth. Two oIestions however, have not yet been satisfac- torily answered. 1. Granted that women are the equals of men in gen. eral intelligence. are there neverthe- less sex differences in special intel lectual functions or in emotional and volitiona1 traits? 2. Granted that the average intelligence of the sexes is about the same, is it true as some believe, that the variability of the male is greater If so, this would full ly account for the higher incidence of genius among men. On the whole the evidence available to date rather favors this view. At the same time, we can not be sure that the ent infrequency of genius among women
 may not be accounted for by lack of opportunity or byza certain weakness of the woman's Competitive instinct or will to .power-",---Lewis Madison Thurman in the Worlds Work for De- tober.

Another LIST Division Picnic

At the last meeting of the list DfvI-
sion Lieutenant Jefferson Feigl Post.
No. 247 of the American Legion, Post
Commander l.. Gordon Hameraley an
nounced another ist Division picnic
to be held at his farm near Barrytown-

Lieutenant Hamersley said that as
all men who served with the LIST Divi-
sion overseas were eligible to attend,
he would have to limit the party to

Dewitt's Mind Still
Blank as He Waits
Trial i'm Gin Murder
Wealthy Rochester Real Es-
tate Operator Is in Jail
on Charge of Beating
Tailor to Death in Shop
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ROCHESTER,, Aug. 30.--His mind
blank from the effects of contraband
gin, Owen Dewitt, rich realty operator,
is in jail here awaiting arraignment
on a charge of having killed J. f..
O'Connor, q tailor, here last Monday
He was brought back from Syracuse,
where he was arrested last night, but
his condition would not permit him to
face the court
O'Connor was beaten to death. The
police say Dewitt admits having been
in the shop with the tailor and girl
stenographer. He recalls having had
several drinks Of gin and then giving
visitor $50 to buy more liquor. He
insists however, that he cannot re-
member chow the fight started" De-
witt is fcrty-one years old and is
married.
Witnesses who have been gathered
in say Dewitt boasted Monday after
noon of having had fight with O'Con-
nor, who had called him names.
By questioning Dewitt the police
learned that he had staged party for
several girls in the grocery OF Mrs.
Grace Begy within an hour after he
left O'Connor's shop. There were many
drinks served and Dewitt became bois-
ferrous. William Buddy, member of
the party, told the police that midway
in the revc!ry Dewitt cecided to re-
turn to the shop to get his travelling
bag, which he said he had left there.
In retaining the bag, according to
witnesses, he must have stepped over
the body of O'Connor.
Dewitt says the girl who is sup
posed to have been in the shop when
he called on O'Connor was not pres
ent during the fight.
"O'Connor and I drank from the
bottles" the police quote the prisoner
as saying. "and remember O'Connor
calling me ugly names. ! also recall
that he seemed very abusive / was so
drunk that it is all a blank to me. /
recollect that we fought"
