SHED LIGHT ON WORLDS AGE
Discovery by Humble Engilshma@
Proved a Most Valuable contrihu-
tion to Scientific knowledge.

A village grocer in, Kent, England,
some years ago came upon some Pc
cular stones around his house. He
studied them intently and as a re-
suit succeeded establishing the age
of mankindi
AS most people know, our primitive
ancestors used tools and weapons
which are known under the names Of
eolithic, neolithic and palaeolithic In.
struments.
The grocer who made the discovery,
Benjamin Harrison, came to the con-
clusion that these stones would per.
haps throw some light on the subject.
For 80 years he made collections Of
samples, and by devoting himself to
their study managed to prove that
man existed at least 100000 years ago.
The stones he had collected were rel
les of ancient implements.
Mr.. Harrison was content to spend
his life in his native place, seldom
travelling more than twenty miles
away. When only twelve years Of age
he started his researches among the
chalk hills Of the Downs and on the
site Of the old Roman camp at Old
bury.
In 1919 his name was included in
the civil list for devotion to scientific
work." 1t was stated that few men
whose scientific discoveries are of real
Importance were so little known to
the community outside the select cir
Gle Of specialists.
At the time of his death he had
collected 5000 specimens Of ancient
stones.

HIS LIFE NOT A Failure"
Mere Worldly Success Not the Only
Thing That Has, or Should
Have, Value.

"IIe is little mild-eyed, gray man
who never has amounted to anything.
He is just another of lifGs failures"
Thus wrote one business man to an.
other.
Let's see. What IS a failure?
a good many years ago the heart OF
a boy leaped with the surging impulses
Of ambition. All the golden dreams of
youth, finer by far than any realities,
were his.
But he never quite managed to make
things turn out the way he had
planned. Riding the high winds of
great accomplishment was not for him.
His was the colorless monotony of
grocery bills, rent half-soled shoes and
silver watch.
He wanted to he n diamond, but
he only turned out to be piece of
coal.
One of life's unfulfillments, that's
all.
But not failure, because no man
who is good husband or a good
father or u good citizen is ever a
failure.
If he is, there's something wrong
with the whole scheme Of human des-
tiny.-Thrift Magazine.

Delays That Were Fatal.

Former King Karl stopped for din.
ner at time when he should have
gone on; and all history suggests that
such delays are nearly always fatal.
Hannibal lost Carthage. a possible
triumph, when he stayed to eat many
dinners in Capua, just as Prince
Charlie lost his hope of the crown
when he delayed on his march to
London. Six weeks at HolyrOod ruined
the Stuart cause. Had he at once
marched south he might well have
reached London, and had he reached
London the face of history in this is
land might have been changed" So,
too, with James III when William III
landed in England; had he thrown off
hesitation and moved at once to meet
the invader the chances are that there
would have been no GLORIOUS Revo-
luton"

Primitive Conditions of, Life.

The natives Of some unexplored re-
gions of South America make little
clearings, usually one or two, but
sometimes as many as 20 or 80 acres.
These gardens are disOrderly affairs,
with the half-burned stumps left stick
ing up. They plant them without ap-
parent method. They generally have
a great deal of casava, our tapioca,
which is their form Of cereal. 1t
also furnishes the native drink, in fer
mented form.
AS to meat. they eat only what they
can catch and kill, wild meat, exclu-
sively, and they hunt largely with bow
and arrow. 1t Is no rare sight to see
an Indian starting off with great
bow six feet long to shoot birds, for
which he uses a blunt arrow, says Pro.
fessOr Gleason. They use barbed ar.
rows to shoot fish.

REPUBLICAN PROSTRATION
AND DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY

Contrasting the Republican ad~
mimistration with the previous Dem
ocratic administration, Senator King
(Dem Utah,) said:
business men are discouraged
and will not incur the hazards fol-
lowing extensive borrowing for i'm
provements and development. Men
having money to loan are afraid to
invest in corporate securities or
stocks or industrial plants The Re-
publican party has thrown the en-
tire country into panic, and those
who have money for investment
compete for securities which are
tax exempt. This has brought mu-
nicipal and State and National
bonds to high levels.
Instead of there being competi-
tion for business investments, there
is competition only for tax-exempt
securities and for jobs by the hun
CRY and starving workingman. IF
the Republican party is to be cred
tied with the rise in Liberty Bonds
1t must be credited with the fall in
agricultural lands and products.
when the Democrats were in
control of the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the Government
cattle and sheep and all kinds of
agricultural products possessed val
ue and their production and sale
brought prosperity to the farmer
and to the livestock men. The man
ufacturers and, indeed, all classes,
have seen their property values van:
ish; the laborer has seen his wages
reduced, the owners of industrial
stocks have seen them in many in
stances wiped out. These condi-
tions have occurred under the pres
ent administration.
'It is time for an appraisement of
Republican rule. The people are
awakening, the verdict will be
against the party in power"

SERGEANT YORK.

A newspaper article states that
Col. Alvin York declined to accept
an invitation extended by Gen
Pershing to a Blowout owing to a
previous engagement for a fox hunt
in East Tennessee.
There is nothing unusual in his
decision. There is no blowout that
could be conceived comparable to
the delights of fox hunt
The nearest approach to an ac-
curate description Of asfox hunt is
Gov. Taylor's story of Old Timber
and the governor himself will tell
you that words which never fail
him in describing anything else, fall
far short of describing the emo
tions of hunter who follows a well
trained pack behind a red fox across
the mountains of East Tennessee.
But it was not of the fox hunt
that we intended to make reference.
Our attention was attracted by the
disposition of the newspapers in
some quarters to refer to York as
colonel"
Alvin York was a sergeant in the
war. He made the greatest record
Of any man of the war and has
been decorated for his valor by con-
gress and the allied nations.
After his return to this country
and after the close of the war,
Gov. Roberts named him a colonel
on his staff.
We deplore the use of the word
colonel" as applied to York. He
will live in the history of this coun-
try as Sergeant York and the title
sergeant" by common usage, has
become as much part of his name
as Alvin. Hereafter let it be Ser
geant York.-Memphis Scimitar.

THE REGULATION OF BUSINESS
"a. o. Stanley in the Senate }

"a o. Stanley in the Senate.)
"The trouble, Mr.. President, is
not that we have not regulated busi-
ness enough, but that we have regu-
lated it too much. The trouble, l say
to the Senator from New Jersey,
with business today is not that
there is no power, civil or ecclesias-
tical, to grant immunity to those
who wish to violate the law or to
grant plenary indulgences to those
who. wish to plunder; the trouble is
that somebody has not smashed half
of the commission which have been
attempting to regulate business;
the trouble is that we do not &C
| back to the plain old rule that every
man is entitled to manage his own
business just as he pleases so long
as he does not violate the simple
principles of law and decency, and
so long as he does not invade the
tangible rights of his neighbor.
81 would say to every individual
in the United States: Regulate
your own household, your own ap-
petites, your own aspirations, your
own faith, your speech, your per-
sonal relations to God and to man

every other man has the same right,
and so long as you do not invade
the legal rights of your neighbor
you shall be absolutely secure and
absolutely immune I would say t.
every business in the United States
from the highest to the lowest, no
matter how rich or poor: so long
as you obey the plain dictates of
common law and common sense and
refrain from doing that which the
combined wisdom of the world and
civilization has said is pernicious
and immoral and industrially unsafe
and unsound, so long as you keep
within the plain, common sense
rules OF the law of the land, you
may proceed as you will I would
take spies out of factories and in.
spectdrs out of warehouses;; I
would remove the long, pernicious
everlasting, cadaverOus nose of
every unnecessary inquisitorial SUI
pervisor into the morals, business
and health of this people, and
would put them to plowing corn or
cracking rocks or doing something
to earn their bread, instead of be-

POLITICS WARM

has now reached stage where there
is such number Of political speeches
and pronouncements that it il be-
coming almost a physical impossi-
biiity for the newspapers either to
report or follow them.
Herbert H. Asquith, former pre-
mier, and Winston Spencer Churchill
colonial secretary nthe Lloyd George
cabinet, were the two principal fig.
ures engaging attention today. Mr.
Asquith, who had been rather slow In
getting into action, delivered his first
important campaign speech at Peter
borough. His address was devoted
chiefly to criticizing the coalition gov.
ernmert's shortcomings and the new
Bonar Law ministry.

tacle of two authors of coalition,

The speaker described the two
wings of the coalition, hitherto In

He alluded to Reginald MvKenna

and now director of the London City
and Midland bank, as the sixth party
in the election and declared he wa,
surprised to find him on q Tory plat
form. Bonar Laws policy was char.
acterized as "when not negative
