Are Massing Forces
 To Save Arrnenians

Washington. Sept. 2.-Religious forces throughout the country are massng to save the Armenians from further persecution at the hands of the Turks.
 Action has been taken: according to the Federal Council of Churche4 by the official bodies of the North ern Baptist convention. the General Convention of the Church. of the Brethren, the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, the United Presbyter- ian Assembly, the Church of the Uni- ted States of America and the Gen eral Ministerial Assembly of the Church of God.
 A petition. asking action in the matter was presented to President Harding recently by the Commission on International Justice and Good. Churches, with which are affiliated 30 communions. After pointing out that the Armenfans were our allies in the great war, that America and safe area in which to live and that though responsibility for protecting them has been referred to the League of Nations. the petition says. "Amer- ica cannot escape her responsibility upon the ground of -mebership in the league"
 The Federal Councils petition in closing declares: What specifically the government or the united states may and should do is not for us to indicate. But we may appropriately let you know that our churches earn estly desire that Am erica should full fill her pledges and obligations and would, we are firmly convinced, 1oy- ally support our administration in ac- cepting definite responsibilities for the assistance and protection of that ancient Christian people.
 'tThe United States and all the AL lied Nations should keep faith with Armenia.

OLD HkTREDS CAUSE MANY DEATHS IN INDIANA FEUD:
 DATE BACK TO YEAR 1889

l statement that he did not know the
 whereabouts of Marley the Archerse
 shot him to death and left his body in
 the cave several days.
 Laterthey removed the corpse,
 placed it upon pile of brush which
 had been saturated with coal oil and
 burned it. Then tree was felled and
 placed over the ashes to prevent
 discovery of the crime.
 Fours years later Lynch, conscience
 stricken, confessed to the crime. Fol- lowing the confession Thomas Archer 65, and Martin Archer, 50. brothers,
 were arrested. Then John Archer, 30, was taken into custody in connection with the grewstome murder.
 Shoals. Sam Archer, father of John,
 and another member of the murd CT band, was still at large. At midnight, March g, 1886, a band of armed, masked men visited the Shoals jail, removed the three Arch CTS and hanged them to trees in the
 courthouse yard. Their bodies were
 permitted to hang there until II o'clock the next morning.
 A short time later Sam Archer was apprehended, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The execu- tion took place July g, 1886, in the presence of what was termed ''cir- | GUS day" crowd assem bled about the scaffold.
 All that saved Lynch from being a victim of the executions of the mob that hanged the three Archers was the fact that he was confined in the Da- viess County Jail.
 Since that time the hatred between | the two families has grown apace, and members of each family are on guard | always for an outbreak of the feud.

 Vanishing creams have their uses since they produce a. temporary eff feet of softness. I do not think, however, they are a good choice for constant use as they close the pores, retaining whatever soil there is on the skin.

The Irish and English types are most likely to have the rosy checks but they would not always be suited to other types. For instance, the olive skin which is milky clear wou1d2be spoiled if color was added to it.

Shoals. Ind, Sept. 2.-Another life has baen forfeited, and the sixth member of the Archer family, of southern Martin county, has "died with with his boots on' as a result of a family feud that has ragged there for several years, it was revealed here following the fatol shooting, from ambush, of Clyde Archer, 19, recent ly.
 For years Hoosiers have been wont to look with pity, if not disdain, on the family feuds which have wiped out'' hundreds of members of warning families of the Blue Gras state. But apparently in 1ndiana's backyard family feud has been raging for years between the Archer and Stanf1e1d fam flies which has resulted in several deaths.
 Clyde Archer met his death Tuesday, August Is. About year previous young Archer had killed his man at French Lick, Ind, when ne stabbed Roy Stanf1eld, a neighbour who accused Archer of stealing some mon ey. He was acquitted in court on a plea of self-defense.
 Row Is of Old Standing
 The two families had harbored i'll feelings against each other for many years following the killing Of Annaoel Stanfie1d by Charles Archer, an uncle of Clyde The elder Archer was ac- quilted of this crime, and few years later a brother of Clyde was freed of a murder charge
 Back in 1882 Martin Archer was killed by a man named Marley, who was afraid Archer might tell of lar ceny job in which the murderer, his victim and John B. Bunch were inn plicated. This killing aroused the ire of the Archer family, the members of which swore vengeance.
 The Archers, accompanied by John Lynch, went in search of Marley and, being unable to find him, discovered Bunch. When Bunch declined to re- veal the hiding place of Marley the Archers bound him, took him to Salt peter Cave, in Orange county, Ind. a lonely spot near the home of Tom Archer.
 Here they again demanded of Bunch that he tell where Marley was hiding. As Bunch repeated his

 Turning quickly she found that the taxicab was filled with acrid fumes; the policeman. his eyes closed. was slumping to the floor of the vehicle, and Velvet Raymond stood facing her, a queer grin on his livid countenance.

 He opened the door of the cab, which on account of a, congestion in the traffic had alInost come to stop, and stepped ont ccolly to the street.
 Janet glanced in horror at the huddled figure on the floor; then i'm pulsfvely followed his example. The streets were filled with people, but nobody seemd to pay any attn ton to them. The screeching of a flat-wheeled street car rounding the
 curve of Union Square, the din of the other traffic, and the staccatonotes of a stream riveter in operation on building in course of construction on
 the corner formed a combination
 which had served to deaden the sound
 ot the shot.
