that he became a murderer In the

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1922-12-25

Each animal has It's own peculiar
kind of lice.
Prof. Ferris Of Stanford University,
IS q louise specialist. He tells US such
things as these: Tho Egyptian king
fisher has lice Ike the North Amer
lean kingfisher, the seals in the At
lantic have lice like the Pacific seals.
Siberian ground squirrels have Ice
like American ground squirrels; our
tame hogs have lice Ike the African
bush-pigs: hawks all over the world
have SIMILAR lice; the same Is true Of
domestic chickens and wild birds
which are their relatives. There used
to be many more kinds Of caTnels IN
remote ages than now. All that are
left are the old World camel and

kind Of lice!
In other words. races Of animals
that cannot have caught lice Of each
other, but which are relatives, have
in many cases the same kind Of. lice,
ana lice Of a kind which no other ami
nal has,
And men and apes and monkeys
have similar lice.
You may draw your own conclu-
sions. But it's rather disconcertinG
TO have these facts come up just when
Mr.. Bryan had settled It that men and
monkeys are not blood relatives. Hang
lice anyhow.

TO The Edit0r 9f the 1imcs
Some time ago the English Prime
Minister, Lloyd George. ia an address
before the British and American press
representatives. drew n very gloomy
picture Of Europe lie compared
Europe to a seething racial lava,
which like the earth's crust, was seek
ing q proper level. This adjustment
was full Of perils.
He emphasized that Europe must
take ccgnizance Of hungry Russia,
which would be equipped by an angry
Germany. The world must recognize
the fact, he said, that Russia and
Germany combined contain over two
thirds Of the population OF Europe.
Their voice viii be heard and the
Russo German treaty is the first warn
Ing Of It. He gave 1t as his opinion
that the Reorganization Of Europe
would affect the entire world including
the United States unless a peace pact
be arranged. lie was confident that
within his own life, certainly within
the life Of the younger generation
present, Europe would again welter in
blood.
He forgot. however. to ten them
that he helped to make the World
War, and the heliish qua impossible
pact Of Versailles could not have been
concluded without his cooperation;
Furthermore. that his policy since
then. the Hang the Kaiser" and
Search the pockets Of the Germans. g
and other pOlitical slogans together
with his continuous yielding to the
Imperialism, despotism and mihtarism
Of the French have done the rest.
Now If the world again IS to welter
IN blood, that blood should come over
his contemtible, crooked head. as
much as over Poincare and his French
associates.

MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED

AT the Brotherhood meeting last
Tuesday evening, the men of st. Mat
thew's launched Membership Cam
paign" according to which they are
asking every member of every society
connected with st. Matthew's to win
one new member for the Church. In
addition to this request which will be
presented to all organizations, the
men will endeavor to conduct a sys-
tematic house-to-house canvass to
ascertain the church connection and
UNCONVENTIONAL preference of our citi-
zens. The object of the canvass is not
to proselyte for members nor to in-
quire into the religious life of the COM
munity, but rather to reach out among
the many new residents of the city
and to assure these in-comers as well
as our old inhabitants, of a cordial
welcome at all services of the Church.
We sincerely hope that our purpose
will not be misunderstood but that our
canvassers viii be received in the
kindly manner which characterized the
City of Health, Homes and Happiness.
