Also "lhe gospel invitation to tho

he requests and commands there

vlrnln Land In the North.

For 1872 years white men have been
travelling the Mackenzie river route to
the Arctic, yet that stream flows
through a land the possibilities OF
which are as yet unrealized. Vast
stretches of forest reach away to ev-
cry horizon. Great lakes and rivers
swarm with fish. Untapped mineral
wealth abounds. Yet In more than a
million square miles of vast pOssiblli-
ties are to be found not more than
5000 people, and Of that 5000 perhaps
$50 are white.
Here to the north lies a vast, unde-
veloped expanse of untold resources.
II is the least developed land of North
America, furnishing now only few
bales of fur each year. Iron, gold, and
copper abound. Oil may be there In
quantity Great veins Of coal are often
visible along the river banks, where
some of them have been burning since
before Mackenzie first traversed the
river that bears his name.
Development Of this land must come.
How long will it be before cities stand
where now are trading posts? How
long before railroads make mere mem

Mackenzie Hawthorne Daniel In the
Worlds Work.

Never Too Old to Dance.

Staid old London is becoming too
giddy for words, what with grandpa
taking up the new dances.
1t is a fact dancing masters of the
fashionable west END say, that the Eng
lish dance craze has reached such a
height that septuagenarians are among
their most enthusiastic pupils.
"And they do very well, too" one Of
these toddling tutors declares. Some
Of them come for the sake If exercise,
not with the idea of cavOrting in the
ball room. But they insist invariably,
on being taught the latest thing, even
though they claim to view the dancing
class as sort Of modern gymnasium.
"When they take to the cafes or ball
rooms, however, they strengthen their
domestic ties, for mother, whatever her
age, is becoming keener than ever on
dancing.
''The modern husband, whatever his
age, doesn't murmur when he has to
take up dancing That is the only way
he can keep an eye on his wife"

Carbon Black.

In spite of the fact that West Vir-
glnia's output showed a great de-
crease for 1920, it still remains the
leading state in the production Of car
bon black. West Virginia is followed
In order by Louisiana, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.
Louisiana, however, Is making great
advances in the production of carbon
black, and Its output may soon exceed
that Of West Virginia. There is less
demand In Louisiana for natural gas
for fuel but in West Virginia and
Pennsylvania the consumers have de-
handed that the supply be reserved
for domestic use. This fact, together
with the development of large supplies
in Louisiana and Wyoming, has
caused the carbon-black industry to
move to states where there is at pres
ent little demand for natural gas.
Carbon black Is fluffy, velvety
black pigment, frequently confused
with lampblack, which Is gray in color
and which is produced from oil or
other carbonaceous material. For
many of its uses carbon black Is SUI
perior to lampblack in quality, but
for some uses, as for certain pigments
In paints, lampblack Is superior.

STILL Bind FEET
Chinese Have Not Given Up
Practice of Centuries.
Wearing Of Queues and Footbinding
Are Institutions Of High Import.
anee in the "Flowsry" Land

l.
Through the writings and reports
of foreign observers most of US have
recently been induced to believe that
all Chinese men have cut Off their
queues and that little girls and women
are no longer subjected to the tortures
of fOOtblndlng. But neither of these
things is true.
1t is true that there are not many
queues left In the cities in which there
is a strong foreign influence, nor are
there many high-class Chinese any
where who continue to cling to this
one time so highly valued adornment;
but If you would know something
about the uncompromising attitude Of
the people as a whole you must get to-
gether, as l did. little cart caravan
and strike out into the rallroadless
and newspaperless interior.
On many days journey across
country, through villages and towns
and considerable cities, you would not
see single shorn head, and all your
ideas about the awakening and the re
juyenatlon of China would find them
selves hopelessly at variance with an
inescapable conclusion that anything
in the nature of an actual change In
this amazing land will probably take
place in too gradual way to be cur
rently observable,
AS for the cruel practice of binding
the feet of little girls, need only say
that on a journey In the spring Of this
year l covered large part of Shan
tung and Southern Chih-li, and except
In Christian mission schools did not
see one single little girl over years
Of age with unbound feet. And little
girl with newly bound feet is a most
pItiable creature. AS she grows older
either she begins to get used to the
agony or her developing vanity helps
her to bear 1t. But when she is little
girl, just emerged from footfree child
hood, the thing she is compelled to
live through Is not to be described.
She will sit for days on end and do
nothing but cry-untO herself, as it
were-softly, helplessly, hopelessly.
And when she staggers out to play she
stumps around on her heels, holding
her little bound toes up, and one Is
likely to observe her at any moment
giving way to a spasm of unbearable
pain. 1t probably Is the most dreadful
thing In the world. But, strange as it
may seem, a 4-lnch foot is still an as
set to a Chinese woman.
To be sure, the modern cities are
filled with modern women with big
feet-Nos. 2 or 3 at most, ordinarily,
because the feet of Chinese women
are naturally small-and such women
even become proficient in modern
dancing and may be seen in cabarets
and fashionable restaurants foxtrOt-
ting, twostepping and even toddling to
American Jazz music with smart
young men from the universities, but
the mass Of the people has not ceased
even in China to make up the bulk
of the population, and the bulk of the
Chinese population is still stepped In

PRODUCT OF MANY BRAINS
Great Musical instrument, the Organ,
Had Its inception over Two
Thousand Years Ago.

More than two thousand years ago
q barber in Alexandria discovered
that In moving his mirror air was
forced through the tubes which were
common in mirrors at that time. This
caused curious musical sound to be
emitted.
So struck was he by this popularity
that he set about making an instru-
ment which was the foundation Of the
modern organ.
After several experiments he made
a water-hute, in which air was forced
by bellows through an inverted cone
which led to flutes controlled by key
board, the pressure being kept uni
form by water.
After thousand years rival in
strument made its appearance. This
was similar pattern, but, instead Of
water, weights regulated the pressure.
In 951 an organ was erected at Win
chester, England. 1t had twenty-slx
bellows and ten pipes to each key. The
two men who sat at the keyboard
"blew and sweated enormously"
Later, a firm of organ makers in
Germany succeeded in erecting the
first really big instrument. The prim-
airy stops did not differ very much
from those of today, although various
novelties were introduced.
Among the innovations were the
nightingale and cuckoo stops, while
others represented cock-crowing and
goat-bleating. Though these novelties
have now fallen into disuse, an organ
with one of these nightingale stops is
still to be seen in Rome.
It was not until the Nineteenth cen
fury that the problem of the regula-
ton of air pressures was solved by
the introduction of the hydraulic
blower.

Wherever Senator Gwinn snsaks
N his campaign for the Democratic
nomination for governor he always
receives a hearty welcome at the
hands Of the voters. The Memuhis
News-Scimitar published the follow
ing account of his address and re-
ception in Somerville last Friday:
Il. =. Gwinn, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
spoke to splendid audience at the
courthouse Friday afternoon.
The crowd was more than three
times as large by actual count as the
crowd that heard Austin Peay, an
other candidate, several days ago.
'Mr. Gwinn's speech was convinc-
ing, as attested by the fact that prac-
tically the entire audience, reDre-
senting leading citizens from all
parts Of the county, pledged him its
vote and influence.
"Mr Gwinn will carry Fayette
county, according to a statement Of
his supporters, by a majority equal
to any that he will receive in any
other West Tennessee county with
the same number of voters. "
