Government Acts Encourgc sub- Division in Uruguay; Also Use of Land For Production.


 Montevideo, Dec, 1S.-With the ob- ject of forcing the division of the immense landed, estetes in sUru- quay, and at the same time to pro- mote agriculture and stock breeding. the minister of industries Dr. Luis caviglia, has drafted a bill to apply q special sliding scale land tax npon all. estates of more than 2.000 hec- tares t5,00O acres, The scale slides upward per thousand hectares, but exemption of the half Of the whole 'of the tax is offered If the proprie- tors comply with certain conditions to make the land productive.
 The measure Is of special interest to all the countries Of the River Plate in which enormous landed es- tates. largely idle and tcnaciously held by their wealthy proprietoNs, are com mon. and thus far legislators have not been successful in finding consti- tutional methods of breaking them up for disposal to settlers and small farmers and preventing their forma- ton in the future.
 The conditions for exemption pro- posed by Dr. Caviglia are that 2 cer- tain percentages of the estates be de-

RENAL A POPULAR
 LEADER IN INDIA
MOhammedanS Plan to Present
 Him With Costly Gifts

Delhi, India. Dec. 1S.-Three air planes and a finely decorated sword
 are to be presented to Mustapha
 Kemal Pasha by Indian Mohamme-
 dams as tokens of their sympathy with his cause. These gifts have heen of
 fered through the Central khalifat
 session here. One of the airplanes Is
 to be given by the Agra province.
 The Khalifat committee, in the
 resolutions 1t passed. congratulated
 Mustapha Renal Pashe and the Ma
 tionalist Turks upon their recent vic tories over the Greeks, and approved of the establishment of an Angorn
 Legion in India. The governments C,
 France and Italy were thanked for the
 air which they had given to Turkey. Appreciation was also expressed to the King of Afghanistan for granting equal rights to Hindus in the interest of Hindu Moslem unity.
 With regard to the anti-Turkish policy recently displayed by Great
 Britain, the Khalifat committee was
 outspoken in its condemnation. Reso- lutions passed on this subject were as follows: This meeting of the Central Khali- fat committee accepts the challengel
 thrown by Lloyd George, the former British premier in his speech at Manchester. to Asia on the one hand and Islam on the other, and assures him and other persons or his way of thinking that so far as Islam is con- cerned, this challenge to the Moslems of the world, alive to their responsi- bility, are ever ready to meet in every possible manner.
 This meeting of the Central Khalifat committee considers the Brit ish activities. in their attempts to in ternationalize the Turkish Straits. as
 unjust and coercive, and in the opin-
 ion of this committee such interna. alization could only be justifiable in
 case other powers, especially Britain. internationalize the seas under their
 respective influences, and. further, in
 the opinion of this meeting, such at tempts are detrimental to the free
 dom of the Khalifa of ls;am and the seat of the Khalifat."

 CHAPTER W. Tanning the Wolf. On arriving in Snowy Gulch, Ben's first efforts were to inquire in regard to horses. Both pack and saddle animals, he learned. were to be hired of Sandy McClurg. owner of the gen. eral store and leading citizen; and at once he made his way to confer with him.
 Most of my mustangs are rented out" the merchant informed him, ".but if you can get along with three. I guess I can fix you up. You can pack two of them, and ride the third"
 Good enough" Ben agreed. And after once get ind like to turn back two of them, and maybe all three to save the hire and the bother of taking care of them.

 He made his pack--a few simple provisions wrapped in his blanket and n knife and camp axe swung on his belt. He took his trusted pipe because he knew well that he could never acquit himself creditably in a fight without few lungfuls of to- bacco smoke first-and he also took his rife.

 They said their simple goodbys, shaking hands over pile of stores. I've only got one decent place to keep things safc,' Ezra confided, ''and that ain't so all-fred decent, either. When l get any papers that are extra precious. l always stick 'em down the leg of these high old boots, between the sock and the leather. But it's too much work to take the boot off now, so you keep the letter."

And if l was you, I'd stop in the door just this side--and get acquainted with your fellow traveller"
 What's his na,ne?" Ben asked "The party is named Nelson" "All right Maybe I'll look him up.".
 A few moments later he was stand ing in the Morris home facing the one friend that Hiram Melville had possessed on earth. Hiram didn't leave anything, far as know, except his old gun and his pet. Lord knows. I'd let anybody take that pet of his that's fool enough to say he's got any claim to him. and you can be sure I ain't going to dis pute his claim"
 He turned, with the intention of se- surfing the gun from an inner room. He did not even reach the door. It was as If both of them were struck motionless. frozen in odd, fixed atti- tudes, by a shrill scream for help that penetrated like bullet the thin walls of the house.
 The sound was in the range be- tween a growl and bay, instantly identifying itself as the utterance of an animal, rather than human be- ing. Ben's first thought was of some enormous vicious dog, and yet his woods sense told him that the utter ance was not that of dog
 He heard it even as he leaped through the door in answer to the scream for aid. His muscles gather ed with that mysterious power that had always sustained him in his mo- ments of crisis. He took the steps in one leap Morris immediately behind him.
 "Fenris is loose," he heard the man say. Hell kill some one---."
 He raced about the house; and at once the scene, in every vivid detail, was revealed to him. Pressed back against the wall of little woodshed that stood behind her house girl stood at bay--a dark-eyed girl whose beautiful face was drawn and stark white with horror She was scream ing for aid, her fascinated gaze held by a gray-black, houndlike creature that crouched. snarling. twenty yards distant.

BRANDON FOR EDUCATION

In recent Mobile address, Cow Elect w.
w. Brandon, while reasserting his policy of
retrenchment in state expenditures, said
that this program would not be carried out
at the expense of the schools of the state
1t is presumed that Mr.. Brandon means by
that, not only the state institutions, but also
the public schools, which are likewise SUBJ
ject of state concern and responsibility. just
now the need of expanded educational OPP
portunity is being felt all along the line
from kindergarten to graduate school. All
cities and counties report more pupils than
room to take care of them. This is very
encouraging sign, for it means not much
an increase in population an increase N
the percentage of those who go to school,
There is also an increasing percentage of
young men and young women who complete
the high school course and go on to college
or training school. The whole level of our
civilization is being raised by the more wids-
spread interest in education, and there is
confident expectation that each succeeding
generation will be more favored than the
last. To this end it is necessary that there be
more generous provision of school buildings,
of teaching fofee and of educational equip
ment. 1t should not be said that any Amer
lean community ever turned deaf ear 10
educational aspirations.

PETRELs LEAVE GERMAN COASTS

From London Opinion.
The petrol has completely vanished from
the German coasts. Not many years ago
petres' breeding grounds were to be found
on the Island of Reugen, on the mainland
opposite that island, and on the North Tristan
Island of Sylt. The first two were gradually
abandoned by those birds, which Appeared
in April and again in September, but even
last year some of them still made Syt their
summer residence. This year. howevcs, not
a single bird has put in an appearance at
that former petrels' home, the long, low-iying
peninsula of Elenbogen, at the north of the
island Professor Dietrich, the we.l-known
German ornithoogist, thinks that the dis
turbances caused in the North Frlsian
Islands by war conditions have had much 70
do with causing the petrels finally to aban-
don their last home.

NEED FOR DISTRICT MANAGER

The Birmingham Traffic Bureau, with
good reason, has requested the permanent To-
cation in this district of a district manager
of the car service division Of the American
Railway association, and that he be clothed
with authority to relieve ordinary car prob
lens without referring them to Washington
and waiting on confirmation Of his recon-
mendations. There is an agent here now on
account of the car situation, but one should
be in this great freight producing section all
the time because equitable car distribution
here is always problem. 1t is thus highly
important that the district manager 90
clothed with authority to act quickly and on
his own initiative. That would save lot of
time and trouble uselessly consumed in bur-
dsning headquarters with details.

Admires Mr.. Gump's Platform

Editor of The Age-Herald:
The campaign of the Hon. Andrew Gump
for Congress has afforded me much genuine
pleasure, and feel that as the platform on
which he made his race embodied the IN
lection of so many new features which were
calculated to benefit hissconstituency (Which
things in the past haYe been totally foreign
to the minds of the great majority of con-
gressmen) that the people were compelled to
cast their votes for him regardless of past
political affiliations.
Knowing as l do that he will be true TO
his worthy campaign pledges, and in addi-
ton will at all times be on the alert in fur
thering the interest of the common people, !
would like to know how he stands on the
Muscle Shoals question, and also if he thinks
that the recent defeat of Volstead and the
election of Governor Edwards to the Senate
has any important significance.
l have great admiration for any politician
who was elected on a principal plank of
wearing no mans collar" and in the case
of the said Congressman Gump believe he
would go barefooted if thereby his beloved
constituency could be served the better
If / decide to run for Congress from the
Eighth district l will certainly adopt Mr..
Gumps platform as means of being elected
and would not feel guilty of any infringe
ment in doing thusly, as they say you can
use another mans ideas until they rightly
become your own.
Looking forward to the time when Gumr's
service, combined with recognition of his
not mean ability, will entite him to serve
on some committee and predicting that his
service and record will exceed for unusual
accomplishments, even that of Congressman

SHOULD HELP; NOT HINDER

1t is noted that, in response to the plan
of the city of Birmingham to construct via
ducts and subways on certain streets in or
der to remove grade crossings, the railroads
reply that they cannot at this time undertake
the expenditure the projects would call for.
Possibly, however, a little reflection will con-
vince the railroads that the sums involved
are but small matter in the total operations
of such great industries as the railroads. The
Age-Herald feels sure that the railroads
have fundamental desire to cooperate with
all efforts to improve Birmingham, although
the attitude on the question at issue doesnt
emphasize such desire.
1t is greatly to the interest of both mer-
chants and citizens of Birmingham that the
avenues between the residence and the bust
ness sections may be opened up to the fullest
accommodation of traffic. Grade crossings
operate to delay traffic, and add greatly to
the. danger of accident and fatality. There
are three convincing reasons why the VIA
ducts and subways should be built They
add to the beauty and attractiveness of the
city. They remove dangerous grade cross
ings. They facilitate the city's traffic and
add to the ease with which the downtown
merchants may be reached.
The Age-Herald believes that, upon reflee-
lion, the railroads will find that not only can
they discover the money necessary to the
enterprise, but that it will be to their adj
vantage to cooperate with the city govern
meat in It's program of city development. The
opening up of the avenues means more busi-
ness for the merchants of the city. More
business for the merchants means more bust
ness for the railroads. Therefore the rail-
roads will both prosper and win public ap-
proval if they help and not hinder.
