WHY PEOPLE "BREAK DOWN"
Too Heavy, but the Load Was
Put on Wrong Place.

People are breaking down in health
all the time And as the business man,
the housewife and the student fall by
the roadside the public dolefully ex-
claims 1.-The load was too heavy"
AS matter of fact people break
down, not because the load they are
carrying ia too great, for in nine cases
out of ten they could carry more than
they are asked to, but because they
don't know how to get the load on.
DIR. Joel e. Goldthwait writes in the
Designer. They put the pack on in
the wrong place and then the human
machine is used in such a way that
a great deal of their energy is re-
quired to overcome what would
mechanically be called friction.
When the nations young men and
women have been taught to use their
bodies correctly and are standing up
straight many of the problems facing
the country today will have been
solved. There will be fewer Instances
of breakdown in the mill and the
office and the home. People will carry
their loads easily. The development
Of their bodies will make 1t possible
for them to know the fullest joy that
life can give.

Beware of the Wireless Fakir

Watch out for the wireless fakirs.
The new generation, since the scanda-
lous stock jobbing operations that
marked the advent of the Marconi
wireless telegraph concern in which
thousands of widows and other poor
folks were robbed Of their life saving,
should read little history. The pub
lie is Of short memory. 1t will not be
long before the stock jobbers will be
at work offering all kinds of alluring
propositions identified with the manu-
facture and operation of wireless tele-
phone outfits. The danger of being
swindled in these highly speculative
enterprises is in proportion to the op-
portunity for profit, and SO a double
warning is necessary, because the
wireless telephone business is destin-
ed to stagger the Imagination before
many years have passed. When the
thousand per cent per day proposals
reach this town let those with loose
change be cautious. Cupidity is a
dangerous leader. Follow old Gener.
al Conservatism and be safe.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT AMERICA
Traveller Tells Of Odd Beliefs That
Are Prevalent Among Even Well
Educated Europeans.

Austin Stack, minister Of home af-
fairs in the former cabinet of Eamonn
de Valera, tells of some of the curious
Impressions regarding life In the
United States still prevailing among
Europeans. Among other curious
beliefs Is that every one who lives In
America, particularly in the Western
states, must be cowboy. find that
many people habitually refer to resi-
dents Of the Far West as cowboys In
a figurative sense, and suppose that
accounts for part of the notions that
are circulated
Mr.. Stack recounted story told to
him by friend from Butte, Mont,
who was entertaining visitor from
Europe. The visitor expected to see
the streets of Butte built and peopled
along the lines shown in the erstwhile
popular western movie, and his lest
noticed that he seemed to be con-
stantly on the lookout for some one
or something.
FINALLY" Mr.. Stack said, "the Wis
itor turned to his host and asked
But where are all the cowboysY
"'Oh, they are never seen in the
daytime the other replied. They
are very shy. They only come out at
nights, like the fairies.'"
And the visitor believed 1t, Mr..
Stack claims.

The Hated Prohtssr.

Everybody hates a profiteer." said
Secretary Hoover at Washington
banquet, land everybody knows where
the profiteer will go to when he dies.
"A millionaire profiteer was carried
of by Indigestion, and his employees
attended the funeral in body. By
the terms Of the will the profiteer was
buried in a strange manner. He wore
his newest frock coat, his largest dia-
mond ring and his costliest platinum
watch. Furthermore his best cane
was buried with him, and in his mouth
was his newest set of teeth, the set
with the gold plates.
"I understand all this business,
said one Of the dead profiteer's en-
ployees. It's for show. But l can't
understand about the false teeth.
What's the sense of it?'
"'The sense of It, said another en-
ployee, is easy to see. How would the
boss feel when he got to the weepin'
and wailin' and gnashin' shop II he
hadn't a fine set Of teethT"

naughty star. cow.d Leopard.

A planter in Tanganyika Territory.
South Africa, walking along foot
path, fell into big game pit in which
a leopard had been trapped. Neither
the beast nor the man could get out
again, so the planter was "up against
it," but remembering what he had
heard Of the power Of the human eye,
he fixed the leopard with naughty
stare.
by this means and by maxim
strange noises, kept the animal at
bay until friend appeared and shot
It," he said.
Others who heard Of the affair, and
who know the planter very well, point
out that he is a lean and slender man,
not likely to attract leopard unless
the latter was indeed hungry to a
desperate point.

Home Weekly a Power

We mix up with country editors
when they have their annual meetings
How many OF our readers ac
tually feel acquainted with the editor
of their Home Weekly? This is the
fellow you ought to get friendly with.
An odd thing about some of these
country editor meetings is the habit
Of inviting in big city fellows to give
them lot Of advice. Perhaps this is
good policy. They ought to reach up
ward instead of in the other direction.
At these meetings prices are discuss
ed and methods of collecting subscrip-
tions, the ways of getting new sub
scribers.
The country editor has never made
million dollars. AS rule he makes
more donations to the community
than any other half dozen folks. A
town is always on the map II it has a
real live news sheet to make a noise,
advertise its merchants, and make
people think.
The Home Weekly is power that
is recognized by the political boss
more than it is recognized by the
home folks or even the home mer.
chant. The clubs, lodges and social
events all want space in the home pa.
per whether the subscription price is
paid up or not. The profit in coun.
try paper is often the money that is
credited on the books of the editor
and never collected. The good editor
is so busy getting out his paper and
doing his work that ne does not have
time to collect. Everybody ought to
take the home paper so that you will
have place for your funeral notice

Professor Decides
To Accept Bryan's
S1OO Bible Check
TRepubIican a. p. leased Wirel

MORGANTOWN. w. Va, April 20.
DIR. p. G. Spangler. professor Of
botany at West Virginia university,
today said he had decided to accept
the 800 sent him under protest by
William Jennings Bryan as a reward
to any college professor who would
harmonic the Darwinian theory of
evolution with the Bible.
In a letter to Mr.. Bryan, the pro-
fessor called upon him to retract a
statement that the biologist was
guilty of cowardly evasion"
Accepting the check, DR.. Spangler
wrote:
ST hardly expected to win the prize.
However, / am glad / undertook it
since I was able to show even you
how untenable your stand is where
you insist on interpreting the facts Of
biology as you do"
The five new questions submitted
to Professor Spangler by Mr.. Bryan
were answered in the letter. In re-
ply to the first question as to wheth-
er he believed himself descended from
an ape, DIR. Spangler said:
'tNo--the biologists of today do not
teach that man descended from the
ape of today, and no one believes it
except those ignorant Of the facts of
biology"
Yes was his answer to the other
questions, which were: do you be-
lieve in Biblical miracles, the super
natural as recorded in the Bible; the
Virgin birth: resurrection of Christ,
and His appearance to His disciples 2'

Plea For Removal
OF Haitian Troops
Is Again Refused
IRepublIcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, April 29.--Anoth-
er plea for immediate termination of
the military occupation of Haiti met
with a refusal today at the state de-
partment.
A committee of lawyers who
brought the department a brief de-
claring the occupation to be out of
harmony with American principles.
were told plainly by Secretary
Hughes that their arguments ap-
peared to him most adequate and
one sided.
He added that the department was
fully advised from it's own sources
regarding all the elements of the
situation and was working to Iez
establish tranquility so that Amerip
can marines could be withdrawn as
soon as things warrant.
The delegation that called on the
secretary represented the National
Popular Government league and the
Foreign Policy association, two or
ganizations which are charging that
the policy of the administration cCn-
stitutes unwarranted interference in
Haiti's domestic affairs, negatives
the principles Of the American con-
stitution. destroys American prestige
before the world, and lays the Amer
lean government open to accusations
Of tyranny and Imperialism. Those
who acted as spokesmen for the COM
mittee We're: Senator Robert /. Ow-

Socialist Party
Will Join With
Working Unions

CLEVELAND, April 29.-The So
cialist party of the United States at
its national convention here today
voted to apply for immediate affili-
alton with the International Working
Union of Socialist Parties (Vienna
internationally The vote was II to 10.
Three propositions were before the
convention having to do with inter-
national relations. The first pro-
posed that the party reaffirm it's
stand taken in Detroit year ago, of
-affiliation with international or
ganizations, This obtained one vote.
The second proposed that delegates
be sent to the next International
conference called or participated in
by the international Working Union
of Socialist Parties and report with
recommendation as to affiliations.
This received nine votes. The third
proposition, to apply for immediate
affiliation, received II votes, a bare
majority for its adoption.
The three propositions were debat-
ed throughout the afternoon session.
At no time, however, did the debate
grow heated or violent
