BEHIND THE TIMES.

Slave trading IS increasing by leaps and bounds In
Abyssina, Africa. White with rifles round ur
blacks chain them together and sell them on the
auction block to Abyssinian slave masters
This state of affairs IS exposed by reporters for
the Westminster Gazette conservative English news
paper.
It reads like a page from the history Of GO years
ago
Men progress unevenIy Somewhere on this earth
you find In every phase Of barbarism and
civilization.
The entire history OF mans evolution toward civil
izatlon is crammed somewhere into this year 1922.
Would you like to go back into the miss of his
tory and man in the very first stages of cvliza-
ton?
No need TO go back. Just take trip to the
Philippines and watch the dog-eating Igorot head
hunters, lowest form Of human life
Low they arr, they have the germ OF govern
ment. council sitting stones arranged in a cir
Gle, with the strongest Igorot on the largest stone

development OF any century of the past.
These people are born behind the times-1OO 500
1000 whatever the number of years may be.
Probably all people started on the same basis
What made them progress at different rates Of
speed until today we have the white man communi-
eating by wireless telephone the Chinese by slow
mail and couriers. the African jungle native by a
relay Of tom-toms or smoke signals?
Climate has much to do with it.
But most important is leadership
It IS leadership, on the wrong track. that causes
the decay of civilizations after period Of rapid ad-
vancement

trasts exist among people of the same community
Many people. like the Abyssinian slave traders

years behind

OFT OF TIE DIZZINESS.

From Denver Colo comes word that knife
belonging to Buffalo Bin has just been placed in a
museum In that city. Its claim to fame Is the fact
that the noted Indian fighter. and. later. more
famous Snowman. used lt to remove the scalp from
the head Of Yellow Hand. Sioux Indian chief.
Buffalo BIZ has not been dead five years. lie is
remembered by every man and woman OF the age
of 90 HIS career dates back scarce half a century.

Today an American soldier that would rutiate

That halc century has led humanity farther away
from savasery and iuhumanity than It had crawled
in the seven thousand years Of written history.
Near TO the spot where this knife OF Buffalo Bill

millions OF years ago and fought its savage way

ONE HOPEFUL SIGN.

The price Of tho Ford tractor has been cut $3.50.
That means much more than the saving OF
money to the farmer.
IL first that more tractors viii be sold
and that the price Is less than that Of team
OF horses This means more food with which TO
feed the world and less hunger I'm the cities
South Bend IS particularly interested in this for
it means more industry for this city. Every tractor
that goes to farm needs plows and this city furn-
ishes the Flows for a large part Of the nation.
Any influence that adds to any of the industries
OF this city helps to maintain the proud position
which st holds is "a prosperous and stable city. Il
means more work. more wages more business.
The price eur means too. that more the
farmer VIII poe In position to buy for despite some
OF his vagarles Ford has an uncanny sense Of
knowing when and where 10 find customers. lie
knows that there IS necessity for his tractors and
that agriculture VIII shortly be a basis where It

More tractors more plows more implements

OF new methods and more production rather than
by laws.
This cut IS but another sure sign that prosperity

FEATHERS md ROYALTY.

tsmFesi Is rayns in London over the decree OF
he court chamberlain that women who are invited
% witness the marriage OF Princess Mary must
wear evening gowns but mo feathers"
They have turned the Bible 20 support their
position thai feathers are commanded for women
It religious services and nasmuch as this is re-
Hgious wedding. they question the orthodoxy OF the
chamberlain.
What they should really think about Is the reason
for kings and princessss IN world that has reached
tho era OF real democracy and equality
They would tina. If they stopped to think about
o. that the one reason they are obeying this cham
berIain even IN the matter OF clothes is that some
centuries sgo one the brides ancestors welded
broadax with more disastrous effect Than had his
adversaries had gathered the larger army because
OF his promise TO loot and established himself in
a seat Of power through his skill in killing.
For centuries the descendants OF the serfs have
given homage TO the descendants Of this founder Of
a dynasty who by his wlerd assumptions Of divine
right hypnotized or bribed cowed people into
servilty.
In the great crowd that viii watch this wedding
OF a bue-blooded princess to a mere millionaire
marquis chiefly because there are no longer enough
kings to supply husbands for reigning houses, Will
be men OF great learning. women OF magnificent
talent. courtly studiOus characters.
Yet these thinking persons yield to the traditions
Of centuries with a blind unquestioniug falkland

Some day perhaps. a descendant of this reigning
house VIII walk to the altar surrounded only by
her friends made through her gentleness.
She viii not care whether they wear feathers or

them there to watch her in hour of happiness

who will not fawn bend knee In obeisance to
some age-old murderer who seized throne
She Will be free. then all people will be free

from equality. instead Of being hedged about by
chains OF centuries that have gone
Some day the guests at such weddings viii not

an air written for the singer by Egon
