WEATHER PROPHET
REDEEMS HIMSELF

BaImy summer days, nice cool nights
and fine days for work, wonderful
nights for sleep, have been the program
Of the weather man during the last
week. More suitable weather for the
farmer could not possibly have been
had, not even if it had been handmade.
and the farmers are taking advantage
of it. All over the parish they are
making up for lost time and are putting
in every moment from daylight until
dark in the fields. The road builders
are also profiting by the good weather
and as result the road running north
from LeesviIIe to DeRidder is rapidly
nearing completion.
The sudden change for the better
is due entirely to the fact that the DEM
ocrat suggested last week the POSSIBLE
ity of new weather man for this local.
lily if said change did not occur soon.
That the suggestion is still having an
effect is plain to be seen by his predic-
tons for next week:

outstanding fact which exists in
every single case" was announced BY
the League as follows:
"The managers have acted upon
their consciousness that all who
work in their organizations are fell

the spirit of the managers is also the
spirit of the great majority of the
workers.
The Unitarian Laymen's League is
not equipped to make q complete
canvass of all the concerns in the
United States and Canada in which
industrial harmony prevails, but GER
tainly the fact that, in every case re-
ported, success in business and indus
trial harmony have gone hand IN
hand with action based upon the prin
ciples of mans brotherhood with
man, is straw which probably indi-
Gates the direction; Of the wind"
These surveys were authorized by
the annual convention of the Lay

at Narrangansett Pier, R. l., to which
166 of the Leagues 242 chapters sent
delegates. The report of the COM

English Morals at Low
Ebb, Says Preacher

London, Aug. 1S.-The Rev. John
E. Wakerly, the new president of the
Wesleyan Conference, denounced the
immortality existing today in English
society both high and low, in his pres
idcntial address.
On the same day that his utter
arccs We're published here, there ap-
pcared a dispatch from New York il
which The prevalence OF vice and i'm
morality in America was denounced
by the National Council of the Pro.
oStanl Episcopal Church.
American readers may be interest
ed in learning that according to DR..
Wakerly, English morals are appar-
emily quite as bad as American NOR
ais.
Human life by many is held very
eheaply," was his Indictment. ''There
is scarce a day when you do not open
your paper upon some sordid story o.
he slaughter of some innocent.
The standard of morals between
he sexes in many places is very low.
The sacrcdness of the marriage rela-
:ionship is openly pooh-poohed; lust
,ramplcs truth, integrity and domes,
:ic happiness beneath it's feet.
"You have increased the number OF
your judges in the courts which deal
with domestic tragedy because of thp
lumber of people who have sought
'elief in that direction. When you
nave done that, you have only touch
ed the fringe of the evil.
"Your cities have no monopoly of
ice. Get rid of the impression that
5ecause your villages are pic
uresQucly placed they are therefore
,cmes of deep spirituality. Alas! it
5 not so.
You have frequently in what you
think your fair village life low
moral sense, which is indicated by ar
unworthy estimate of womanhood.
''We have been reminded in the last
few weeks that materialism is trebly
bankrupt in philosophy, in the natura!
sciences, and in practical life, and
that the only alternatives are a con-
tinuance of the present chaos till ii
ends in crash, or a return to q
spiritual view of the universe"

Nature Making Good the
Death Losses of War

London, Aug. 18.-Some interest
ing and novel facts respecting Eng
lands social progress and national
health are revealed in the current re-
ports of the Registrar General of
England, monumental work of 531
closely printed pages. More chill
dren were born than ever before,
while the death rate of 12.4 per 1000
was the lowest recorded. Never be-
fore were there so many marriages in
one year. The divorce rate continues
to increase, the number being thrice
that of any year prior to 1919.
There was striking growth of
marriages of boys less than 20 years
old. The number of young widowers
and elderly bachelors who married
was double previous records, while
the total of the widows under 25 who
married again was exceeded in only
one previous year. ~
Divorce increased by 100 percent
over the previous year, and was near
ly trebel that of any earlier date.
The number of illegitimate children
was below that of war times, being
4.69 percent.
The death rate in tuberculosis was
considerably lower than that of any
previous year on record, but the
mortality rate. in malaria greatly in
creased, while in measles it doubled
Cancer mortality for both sexes was
considerably higher. Infant mortali-
ty decreased, but the number of wo-
men who died in childbirth was dis
tressingly large, owing largely to
septic causes.
The figures relating to the birth
rate confirm the old belief that ma
ture succeeds in restoring the balance
between males and females which war
tends to destroy An excess of male
over female births is normal, but the
highest recorded ratio in the years
of peace was 1,O43 boys to 1000 girls.
In 1919 this ration had risen to 1,060,
and in 1920 it dropped to 1852.

Minute Needle Used
On Chinese Embroidery

Washington, Aug. 20.-(By the AS
sociated Press) Chinese
embroidery work, far surprising the
finest of the present time, and which
must have been done with a tiny
needle much smaller than ever seen
now, was on exhibition in Washing
ton recently. So fine is the work that
the finest details of the features of
the figures represented were clear;
the hairs on the mems boards, small
muscles in the littlest finger, even the
minutely worked long pointed finger
nails and the eye lashes were so per-
feet that to be appreciated, experts
declared, they had to be viewed
through powerful microscope
The smallest needle in the world,
which is itself much finer than the
finest thread, is now in the National
Museum here, yet the experts said,
the Chinese work must have been
done with needle slim enough to
pass through the eye of that needle.
ihe ehL'bit WAS pOfIlOn Oh the
collection of Lady Georgiana Vizen-
zinoVich, wife of Sir Vincent Wien
zinovich, senior judge of the Inter-
national Court at Shanghai. The
prize piece of the large collection con
sisted of eight Pah Hsien embroid-
cred panels representing the eight
chinese immortals, which included the
minute work described. They were
made sometime during the Ming
Dynasty, more than 400 years ago.
A beauty of the old Chinese art,
which was pointed out in Lady Wien
zinovich's collections the way in
which the colors remain, assist in pre-
serving the silk fibres and retain
their freshness through the ages.
Lady Vizenzinovich is credited with
heing a foremost authority on Chi
pese artistry and her collection is one
OF the most remarkable in the world.

New Fight TO Save RuPre


With the execution Of Frank B. Du-
Pre- Set Tor seNtsmber l, little more
than two weeks away, the group of

His appeal for "a new trial was de.
nied, as was his plea to the suprc nc
cunt Last Friday the Georgia Pts
II Commission declined to recommend
~ccntive clemency and it seemed tnat
ne entire matter would be left to the

However, it was suggested to Ii.
A. Allen, attorney for DuPre, that the
case be taken to the federal court oil
The ground that the Georgia suprc mo
court had differed in its opinion as to
s new trial and that refusal by the
lower court to grant a new trial on
the strength Of this dissension, de-
prived the youth of his life without
due process Of law, as guaranteed b.
the constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Allen said Wednesday that nc
lad the matter under advisement and
that he would make his decision
Thursday or Friday and that in the
event he decided to carry the case T.
the federal courts the suit would be
filed Immediately. He has been out
of the city two days and has not had
ample opportunity to go into the case
