DOES ILL TEMPER PAYY

Does Prussia imagine she is 'get-
ting anywhere" by her i'll temper to-
ward the individuals of the victor
ious nations? Mondays paper con-
tanned dispatches from Berlin telling
of the petty annoyances being put
upon foreign representatives in the
matter of housing. Berlin has reg
ulations, rather honored in the
breaking that limit the number of
rooms any household may occupy.
This restriction is being enforced
with the utmost severity against a.
liens in official positions who by all
customary international courtesy
should be assisted in their house
hunting. Amenities of the kind may
help considerably in quieting antag-
onisms that soon or late must be
quieted, if Europe is to get back to
a reasonable form.
If this housing matter were an
isolated instance of Prussian i'll man
ners we might excuse it as an ex-
ception, but the identical method
has, we are told, been applied in 9TH
er directions, as, for instance, in the
government owned and operated
Prussian railway system. 1t would
seem that foreign travellers in Ger
many should have at least an even
break in securing advance train &C
commodations. Normally they do,
but apparently such reservations
sound we'll but mean little, for upon
taking their trains and presenting
their certificates the foreigners are
liable to find others in possession or
that other tickets for the same seats
and berths have been given to par
ties whom the train crew is quick
to recognize as having superior
claim. Such complications arise in
cases so particularly aggravating
that it is hard to believe there is not
some intention inspiring them.
If ever a ''feller needed friend, -
that "feller" today is Germany, and
for the land to let her fury get the
better of her judgment is the worst
possible misfortune that could reach
her. How much wiser it would be
if, defeated and facing long, hard
period of readjustment, the German
republic would steel herself to grin
and bear her trials and to make the
grin as fine counterfeit of genu-
inc smile as she possibly can. If
Germany. and Berlin in particular,
had begun Immediately to win the
friendship of the individuals whom
chance sends their way we dare say
already there would have been a con-
siderable difference in the world S

HOLD ALL WARS UBIQUITOUS
Why the Mennenites for Four Hun
dred Years Have Been Wanderers
Over the Earth.

Religious pilgrims, thousands Of
them, wandering countless miles from
one country to another, seeking land
where they may obey the dictates Of
conscience.
All this has the flavor of bygone
ages. One Is reminded of the flight
of the Hebrews from Egypt and of the
wandering of the pilgrims 300 years
ago. 1t is somewhat startling to dis
cover that pilgrims for conscience
sake exist today. And yet, remarks
the Boston Globe, 10000 Mennonites
from Manitoba have been making ar
rangements to leave Canada, cross the
United States and settle In land Of
promise of their own which they have
purchased from the Mexicans.
Since 1925, when their sect was
founded In Switzerland, the ancestors
of this branch of the Mennonltes have
been wanderers on the face Of the
earth. They stayed for couple Of
centuries in the German Baltic prov
inces, then they moved over into Rus
sia for another 100 years. Half a
century ago they took up land In
Canada. And now they are again on
the move. The whole tribe is to cross
this country IN special trains and set
tie on a great tract In Chihuahua,
Mexico.
The reason given for their depart
ure from Canada Is their dislike Of
the law which requires English be
taught In their schools. 1t is more
likely that there is deeper cause.
A question of language has scarcely
the power to drive people from one
wilderness TO another for four centu-
ries.
The Mennonites hold strictly to an
affirmation Of the iniquity of bearing
arms. This branch could not stand
the beginnings of German militarism.
They fed from the Russia of the car.
They are now trying to find a spot
on the earth where fhey will not be
obliged to swallow modern national
ism.

A WAVE OF LAwLESsNESS AND
CRIME.

:. An unprecedented wave OF lawless-
ness seems to have broken out in
this immediate section, extending
from jackson, Miss. to New Orleans,
La. There has not been such con-
tinued outbreak Of various kinds of
crime within years as has occurred
in the past few weeks in the same
territory.
There appears to be gang or
gangs Of men who have. to say the
least, wandered far from the straight
and narrow way. morally, and in the
sight Of the law.
The effect of this Crime wave
has made itself felt even here in
Brookhaven.
1t appears that the consciences OF
those guilty are absolutely stupefied
and that the only aim of some of
these men, after they have won their
goal or lost 1T, is to "get by.
From recent. actions 1t would ap-
pear that some of them believe that
they can even fool old st. Peter, him
self, at the Golden Gate.
The Leader takes no pleasure in
referring to the subject under con-
sideration or the attendant wagging
of tongues over derslictions. 1t cer-
tainly has no pride in casting any as
pensions that threaten to disgrace
bearers of names hitherto respected.
But-this paper wants to bid God
speed to the officers when they are
doing their duty-in ferreting out
crime. 1t also wants to say to cit
izens the time has come not only for
a backing of those in authority, but
for Testimony" before the courts OF
justice, such as the recent Grand Ju-
ry sought.
The officer that fails or comprom-
ises at time like this should be i'm
peached. The Leader believes in the
psychological moment. The clock
has struck for move forward along
moral lines and a more strict en-
forcement of law among those who
violate the law and have been elud-
ing detection by hook or crook for a
long time.

Pete,s Hunch Was All Wrong.

The experience of Pete Pdllos, rail-
road section foreman, as related in
the Toledo Blade, is a good adver-
tisement for the banks. Some two
years ago Pullos became worried ov-
er the financial situation, and, hav-
ing more faith in his own ability to
secrete and protect his earnings, he
drew his money, amounting to ST.
250 out of the bank and placed it in
a jug, corked the jug and buried it.
A few days ago, his faith renewed
in the solvency Of the banks in
Cleveland, and with the idea that the
financial crisis had passed, he dug
up the jug intending to redeposit his
money. He broke the jug open and
found his bills a mass of fragments
chewed by worms as they are accus-
toned to eat the leaves of tree. Ex-
pert money handlers tried to patch
up the pieces, but without success.
A few years ago 1t was no unusu-
al thing to read accounts of the dis
appearance of money buried on the
premises or deposited in cracks in the
wall. 1t is practice, however,
that has been almost entirely aban-
doned and while the average person
never has large amount of money
on deposit, nearly every one has a
bank account. Banks have found 1t
profitable to solicit small deposits be-
cause a great many small deposits
more than eounterbalance few
large ones. Small deposits are val
liable to a bank because withdraw
ais as rule are small, while large
deposits of banks were obliged to re-
ly entirely upon them, might em-
barrass banks with large withdraw
ais.
Some persons feel that their ac-
counts are too small for banks to be
interested in. but the fact remains
that deposits are increasing rapidly.
A bank account is a great incentive
to saving. Every person would like
to save, but unfortunately not every
one proceeds to save Systematically.
The banks not only protect your
money, but they keep your accounts
and. encourage thrift.

goes out through the shadow in
which the death has enshrouded their
hearts and homes.

How Air speclmens Are secured


The instrument used by French
scientist for collecting specimens Of
air at high attitudes with the aid Of
sounding balloons consists of very
perfect vacuum tube with a finely
drawn out end. Either the rise Of the
mercury in barometer, correspond
ing with a previously determined alti-
tude, or the clockwork of the meteoro-
graph, form an electric contact,
causing a little hammer to fall and
break the end Of the tube. Air then
rushes In, whereupon another electric
contact, brought about by the same
means, causes the current of small
accumulation to heat the platinum wire
wound around the capillary tube to a
red heat. This fuses the glass and
again closes the end Of the vacuum
tube, thus entrapping the air.

The Stella Vitae Health Campaign
continues to increase in force as new
evidence of the powers of the treat
ment in overcoming Female Trou-
BILE causes hundreds all over Missis-
sippi to join in the fight against
the diseases that are keeping women
weak, suffering and unhappy.
Letters that ring with words OF
sincerity from grateful women who
have been delivered from their mis-
cradle sufferings through the Stella
Vitae treatment are being received
daily in large numbers. People in
every section of the state are talk
ing about Stella Vitae and discussing
their, own experiences or those OF
friends who have obtained wonderful
relief from Female Troubles after a
course of this preparation.
Another interesting and unusual
feature in connection with the
Health Drive is the fact that hun
dreds of people are asking that their
statements be given to the public, in
order that other suffering women
may be induced to obtain a supply
of Stella Vitae and take advantage
of this opportunity to regain their
own health, strength and happiness
Typical of these many letters Is
one from Mrs. Robert Cole, of Lean

LAUGHING AT THE COUNTRY

Years ago the funny men of the
cities were all the time laughing a.
bout the country folks Farmer
Corntassel''. Uncle Reuben and
other alleged typical rustic charac-
ters were constantly being made fun
of.
You don't see much of that wit
now. The country has. become too
popular. A great many of the
brightest people are settling in rural
surroundings. and the countryman Of
bushy whiskers is getting to be just
as nearly an extinct type as In the
cities. Everywhere there are un-
couth folks. but city life produces
quite as many as the country. It Is
pretty hard to tell country crowd
from city crowd In these times, and
III there is any difference, the rural
element looks more wide awake.

Why the Sea Ia SAT-.

The sea is salt because all the rivers
in the world are carrying salt from the
rocks and the soil to the ocean and
leaving It there. The water is evapo-
rated by the sun, but the salt re-
mains behind, and so the ocean is be-
coming more salt as the years go on.
Some lakes and seas are In like con-
dftion, as witness the Dead sea in
Palestine. which is very salty, because
the River Jordan carries salt into 1t,
but there Is no river flowing out of
It, and the salt keeps gathering all
the time.

How spider Causes Phone Troubles


Certain parts Of South America are
the habitat Of a large spider that
weaves its web around the telephone
wires strung on the crossarms Of poles
The spider is enormous and its web is
heavy and of thick texture.
The telephone companies were much
perplexed when In the late evenings
and nights frequent short circuits tied
up their lines. After time they dis
covered that the trouble arose from
the heavy spider webs. When the sun
was out, the webs were dry and there
was no trouble; but at night when the
webs were covered with dew, short cir
cults occurred. The only remedy Ia
constant brushing away Of the webs
from the telephone wires.

whx rermed Eavesdropper.

Everybody knows, of course, that
eatesdropping means the practice Of
stealthily trying to overhear other per-
sons conversation. The origin Of the
phrase leads us back to the beginnings
of the laws of real estate.
According to the old Saxon code
no one owning land could cultivate
IT or build on it within a certain fixed
distance Of its boundary. Here we
have the start of what today we call
restriction
The strip thus left was called the
"eavesdrip." An 'eavesdripper' or
"eayesdropper' was one who stood In
the "eavesdrip" to listen to conver-
sation inside the neighboring dwelling.
