Familiar Doing
May be Serious

The old-fashioned mother who doses
her child with bitter medicines for
what she calls worms" probably
doesn't know that her patient can get
real worms only by getting into the
mouth and stomach particles of earth
or dirt containing the tiny eggs of
thread worms. If no such opportuni-
ty has been given, the little one is be-
ing treated for the wrong complaint.
In fact, few of the children whose
mothers give them worn medicine"
have such an ailment
There are no symptoms of worms"
A coated tongue, white lines about
the mouth, restlessness, heavy breath,
picking at the nose, bright eyes, few
erishness, Nightmares and numerous
other disturbances noted in children
are not symptoms of worms. They
are rather signs of acute intestinal
indigestion, and d teaspoonful of soda
in a little watar will bring relief
quicker than all the oldfashioned
worm medicines.
The prevention of worms has moth
ing to do with the regulation of foods
given the child. The only true pre-
vention of worms is personal cleanli-
ness.

Two Year-OId Kids
Come 10000 Miles
From Congo to California With Mis-
scenarios. - Interesting Story OF
Congo Customs.

Chicago Basanga and Bokesi,
aged two and half years and fifteen
months, respectively, are making a
10000 mile journey to California from
their home at Mondombie, Congo vii
lage within days distance from an
insurgent tribe of cannibals. Accord
ing to the children's father, DIR. Ernest
B. Pearson, these cannibals eat the
Belgian soldiers they capture both to
express their contempt for them and
to show that it can be done, Basanga
and Bokesi, whose Christian names are
Mary and Paul, were born in a Jungle
trimmed village and until they started
on the three-months' journey to Am
erica neither remembered ever seeing
another white child Mary speaks Lon
kundo, a Bantu dialect, as we'll as She
English, and Paul has learned no Eng
fish as yet.
The children are viewing with little
interest the things that they see or
their trip Automobiles and trains are
new means of torture for them, as a
horse was the only means of convey
ance known to them in the Belgian
Congo. Their African names were Civ
en- them by the natives, who according
to their custom of calling parents by
the names of their first child, dubbed
DR.. and Mrs. Pearson's Is'Asanga and
Nyang' Isanga Gather of Mary and
mother of Nary.
Mrs. Pearson said that the natives
call all women missionaries "mama" as
a mark of respect, but that some OF
the single women at first object to the
honor. Pajamas are the latest style in
street wear at Mondombie, she said
A woman who left her husband in
the Congo recently was punished, &C
cording to DR.. Pearson, by being tied
in the path of driver ants, which stung
her terribly.
DR.. Pearson is a graduate of the
University of Illinois College of Medi-
cine. Mrs. Pearson, who was Miss
Evelyn Utter of Covina, Cal, is de-
scended from the Bullock and Wiley
families of Kentucky, and studied at
Pennsylvania College, Lexington, KY.
and at Butler College and the College
of Missions, both of indianapolis, Ind.
They serve under the Disciples of

Then he roamed from one end of ire
land to the other. He learned every
wood, swamp, bcg-ideal training for
future guerilla chief.

his elder sister was employed as a post
office clerk Collins also became
clerk
Joins Irish Rebels.
In London was a group of young rev.
olutionary Irish, and Collins Joined
them. On Sundays and holidays they
stole secretly away to isolated woods
and drilled.
Later Collins attended Kings Col
lege, and in 1914 he quit the postal
service to act as an accountant for the
Guaranty Trust Company. There he
secured the training that later made
him Irish finance minister.
In 1915 Collins returned to Dublin
and worked as an accountant and later
as secretary to Count Plunkett, Irish
patriot.
He took active part in the Easter
Rebellion of 1916-but as simple SOL
der, not as ringleader. He was
seized bv the British and informed, but
later released because of lack of evil
dence.
From that date Collins rose rapidly
in Sim Fem. In 1918 he was elected
to the Dali Eireann And by 1920 the
British declared openly that, if Michael
Collins could be caught, the back of
the Irish revolt would be broken.
But he couldn't be caught.
Marvellous Escapes.
On one occasion Collins was in a
house surrounded by Black and Tans.
No avenue of fight seemed open. Sud
denly the house next door burst into
flames. Collins escaped in the helmet
and coat of fireman.
Again he displaced corpse from its
casket and lay in the cofpse's place
while the authorities sought him.
When police hammered at the door
of his hotel room, he chung to the
outer ledge of the window. The police
broke in and searched for him. When
they'd gone Collins pulled himself back
into the ROOM
Again floor was taken up to permit
his escape and nailed back into place
after he had fed.

Building 100000
Miles of Roads

Washington.-A system of highways
that will serve the whole country and
will be far superior to any in the world
is being mapped out by the federal and
state government engineers. 1t is esti-
mated that-the system will compromise
10000 miles of road.
The federal highway act recently en-
acted specifically states that all federal
aid be spent on connecting system of
highways, consisting of not more than
per cent Of the total road mileage in
the state, and that this system shall
consist of interstate or primary roads
and intercounty or secondary roads.
Proposed systems have been received
by the Bureau Of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture from all but eight states. They
are plotted on large square map of
the United States and carefully exam
ined as to the coordination with the
roads of adjacent states and service to
all sections of the country. Where
coordination is not satisfactory con-
ferences are held with all interested
state highway officials and routes are
adjusted.
Many states have already adjusted
difficult problems with their neighbors
AS an example, the system sent in by
Nebraska showed big gap in an i'm
portant road along the northern Dor
der. It was learned, however, that
South Dakota would follow with a sys-
tenn that would fit like pictures on a
toy block. Since the federal highway
act of last November became law,
only roads certain to be on the sys-
tenn have been approved for construc-

New York - Prohibition has been a
big factor in cutting down poverty in
families, according to statistics just
issued by the American Association for

Mrs. William T. Tilton, chairman Of
the Boston society, declares that fig
ures in the survey which she conducted
prove that there has been rduction
of 85 per cent in cases where drink
was factor in the poverty Of the
families included.
"Such good results under partial en-
forcement," she continued, "are signi-
ficant of what we may expect when the
dry law is properly enforced. They
are not just statistics, but they repre-
sent human being made happier by the
absence of intoxicants from their
lives"
New York City, according to the>6g-

UNIQUE POSITION
Head of Irish Free State is
Most Dramatic Figure
Today.
NO REST FOR HIM

Dublin.-The most dramatic figure
on the wrold,s political stage today is
Michael Collins, head of the Irish pro-
visional government.
Collins, who organized the Irish Re
publican Army, is known as the mod
ern master of guerilla warfare, today
through a twist of political fate is
forced to turn his military genius
against the very men with whom ne
fought side by side to gain Irish free
dom, TO save the Free State.
Collins heart has been torn between
love of his former comrades and his
sense of duty. in promoting what he
thinks is best for Ireland. But duty
dominates.
Collins was born about 80 years ago
in the south of Cork county. His par
ents were small farmers.
AS a ragged, barefoot youth he at
tended the national public school at
Rosscarberry. He got only on element
airy education.

Duke of York Takes
Up Social Uplifting

London.-The Duke of York, second
son Of the king, will repeat this year
the experiment he made last year for
what has been called "the discourag-
ment of anobocracy and the encour-
agement of democracy"
SO thorough an understanding was
then established between boys from
Westminster School and boys from a
Welsh steel works, following a football
match, that summer camp was set up
by the duke to encourage good feeling
between boys of different social status.
Two hundred public school boys, with
an equal number from congested and
industrial areas, were invited to share
the camp.
The selection of the boys and the ar
rangements for the camp this year are
in the hands of the Industrial We'll
fare Society, of which the Duke of
York is president, but beyond that the
society will have nothing to do with
the project.
In order that the boys meet on terms
of perfect equality, cricket, football
and kindred games will not be played,
because it is felt that public school
boys, having more opportunities for
practice, would hold an advantage over
the other boys at such games.
They will be divided into sections of
20, ten being public school boys and
ten industrial lads. They will share
the same huts, eat the same feed and
engage in the same sports and recrea-
ton.

Card Signed ''Peter Erik
man" Announces Writer
Jumped in Water.
LOVE NOT RETURNED
Missive Found in Eichelman
Park States that Michigan
Girl Tilted Him.

"The body Of Peter Anthony Erkman
of Scranton, Pa, may be found in the
waters of this lake." was the guuesome
wording of a postcard picked up in
Eichelman Park the other, day and
turned over to the police department
this morning. Whether there is Cor
was) such a person as "Peter Anthony
Erkman," and whether he did indeed
throw himself into the waters of Lake
Michigan in fit Of, despondency fol-
lowing the postcard threat which he
previously had scattered to the winds,
was a problem which today confronted
the police. But they concluded that
the mystery would be solved ere long,
for in case there is dead man floating
in the water at this season, the lake
will yield the body to the sands before
many days are over. "Erkmans stated
that he was an ex-soldier of Camp
Custer.
The tragedy limited on the postcard
linked the name of "Erkman" with
that of woman whose photograph was
attached and described as "my dearest
love" by the writer who gave her name
as Miss Ruth E Phillipont of 240
Twelfth street, Detroit, Mich. The
writer of the card declared that "his
dearest love" had thrown him over, and
that, while he loved her still, he had
nothing left to live for and was jump
ing into the lake.
,N The police held that it was possible
that the card was a fake one and writ
ten by fanatic or a fool.
Picture of Comely Young Woman.
Two cards were found in Eichelman
park by woman strolling through the
green, who, alarmed by the tenor of
the language used by the writer, turned
the cards over to the fire chief, who in
turn laid the matter before the chief
of police. One Of the cards was the
photograph Of a pleasant and comely
young woman, and bore the name and
address as given above. The other was
picture postcard, not stamped, Of
Port Park, Battle Greek, Mich. Both
of the cards were used in writing what
was reputed to be the swan song" of
the writer, and were fastened together
In addition to>the Detroit address
given as that of the alleged sweetheart
of the writer another address was
noted on the card as ."R. F. D., No.
Box lit, Monroe, Mich," but there
was nothing to indicate whose address
this was supposed to be.
Says She Threw Him to the Rocks
The postcard message reads as fol-
lows: "The body of Peter Anthony
Erkman of Scranton, Pa, may be found
in the waters of this lake. Here is a
picture of my dearest love- She left
me and piled me to the rocks, but
love her still. Now am going to end
all my troubles because OFF, which
am not fit to live God please make
