of absolute closed season on deer

mountain sheep elk, sage hens, and
grouse are increasing, and speaks
good word for Brother Bear. 1.-THE
majority of bears are peace-loving,
law-abiding, without hard thought
for anyone or anything, living on
roots and insects, and seeming to get
huge enjoyment from life. 1t is no
sport to kill brown or black bear
they don't even act wild-but every
one with gun apparently feels duty
bound to take crack at them. The
occasional bear that goes on a ram

What are the Churches Saving2
Franklin H. Giddings, the famous
sociologist, who year ago created
some controversy by his question,
"Can the Churches be Saved?" comes
back in 'sThe Independent" for Sep
tember I'd with the question, "What
are the Churches Saving?"
A generation ago, the churches were
saving souls from hell. Some still are
snatching "hell-bent" souls, but other
churches of the advanced" type are
Saving sinners from sim. But what
sin? "What are the churches doing to
save sinners from profiteering, break
ing the traffic laws bootlegging, and
boodling?"
"What sinners are the churches saw
ing?" According to intelligence tests,
four and half per cent. of the
American people have sufficient men,
tai capacity to follow the higher pro.
fessions; nine and half per cent. ca
pacity to complete a college course;
sixteen and half per cent. are ca
pable of taking high school course;
and the remaining sixty-nine and a
half per cent. are incapable of fol-
lowing high school studies. To what
extent are the churches saving the
competent? To what extent is their
appeal simply reaching the morons?
"What are the churches saving be-
sides human souls?" Always, they
have been greatly concerned to save
dogmas, doctrines, and creeds. Is
their chief interest on this score now
the saving of the doctrine of the spe-
cial creation of man from the onset
of evolution?

ding's article. The writer of this col

New Fords Have One-Man Top and
Slantiug Windshield

Detroit, Aug. ga radical change
in equipment has been made by the
Ford Motor Co., which announces the
adoption of the one-man top and
slanting windshield. This change al
ready has been made and the leading
Ford dealers are showing models with
the new equipment.
This move, it is thought, is to fore
stall competition and comes as some
what of surprise. For years Ford
has stuck to the old style top with
side bows which required the services.
of at least two persons to put it up
or close it. The elimination of the
side bows will add much to the looks
of the car as will the adoption of the
slanting windshield. Heretofore the,
stock windshield has been perpendic-
ular and of awkward appearance as
compared with modern style.
No additional charge is to be made
for this new equipment.

WALL STREET INDICTED
Henry Ford Reveals Disturbing Influence in Economic
Life Of the Nation

THE announcement by Henry Ford that he will close
down his Detroit plant September 49, directly and
directly throwing hundreds of thousands out of employ
ment, is calculated to make the "die-hard' rail-
road presidents and consider where their stubborn
folly is carrying the country.
They could have settled the shopmens strike month
ago honorable they had followed the example
of the railroad workers and had accepted President Hard

AT that time the newspapers insisted that Prosperity

truth, but the lady is not there
She has been frightened away by the savage After

He experiences difficulty in fixing responsibility for
the unfortunate situation.

life of the nation" said he as DUE SIMPLY TO THE
GREED AND AvARICE OF WALL STREET, WHICH

Why Telephone Operator Reports
Number Asked For

After you remove the telephone re-
ceiver from the hook and ask Central
for number, you will notice that
she repeats the number in a question
ing voice.
Her repetition of the number in
such tone calls for an acknowledge
ment from you that she has correctly
heard the number.
1t is to avoid the possibility of call
ing the wrong number that Central
repeats the number given to her as
she hears it.
The subscriber is expected to con-
firm the operator when she repeats
the number, if she has the correct
number. If not, the caller is expect
ed to repeat the number desired. In
this way the percentage of wrong
number calls will be reduced to
minimum.
So when Central correctly repeats
the number you ask for, just say 'yes~
or please" or make some similar ac-
knowledgment of its correctness. By
adherence to this rule the service will
be made surer and swifter

left Lexington Friday afternoon for
Olympian Springs, Bath county to
make Preliminary survey of the IA

digging for bones of prehistoric ami
mails.
Victor X. Dodge, who accompanied
the university party to Wayne county
| the latte part of October, when a
large quantity of specimens were OBJ
tanned, has secured permission from
the owner of the olympian Springs
hotel and other land owners in the
neighborhood to dig on their lands.
| Professor Miller said that this trip
was more in the nature of a prelim-
mary investigation, but that some dig
eing might be done if conditions are
found to be favorable 1t is known
that wild animals flocked to these
springs in great numbers to lick the
salt earth. The deaths from animals
of prey, hunters and other causes are
thought to have caused an accumula.
ton of bones that would necessitatC
their being buried by the human in
habitants of the country at that time
Professor Miller hopes that masto
done bones may be found at the sal
lick. No extensive excavation has evel
been done at these springs, but it i!
known that numerous bones of ami
mails that antedated the discovery O
America have been found in that sec
tion, Professor Miller said. There arr
many interesting geological forma
tions in that section that will be mad,
