All of the buildings for the exposi-

their Erection constituting the largest
building operation in Russia since the
war. Including live stock barns there
are nearly one hundred structures,
mostly of wood, though some are of
steel an concrete. Each of the various
nations making up the United States
of Russia will have its separate build
ing. Some of them, particularly the
Turkestan building a model mosque
in stucco, are architectualy beautiful.
That of the Far East Republic starts
as an Eskimo's igloo, ties itself into
futuristic architectural knots and ends
up by looking like ship, it being
symbolic of various types of struc-
lures encountered from the Polar re-
gions of Siberia to Vladivostok.
Ten thousands workmen have been
engaged in the operation since spring.
and the site, a splendid bit of rolling
ground on the Moscow river, will be

ARE GOOD STUDENTS
School For Elders in the Heart Of
Tennessee Mountains

Monteagle, Tenn, Aug 24-In the
heart of the Tennessee mountains
there is a school-the Du Bose Memo
rial school-where the students argue
over the Pauline psychology while
they sew buttons on their. overalls:
where a man chants Latin verbs to the
swish of his broom. and the engineer
at the sawmill talks classic Greek with
his fellow workers.
Out i'm the truck garden cabbages
are cultivated amid discussions of Sec
ond century heresies. and fundamen-
talism versus modernism Is threshed
out over the milking of the cows. In
one day these students buried the
baby of broken hearted mother,
having first made the coffin, wrote
Greek exercises, mended a wagon, and
wound up by playing a winning game
of baseball.
The school is an unique institution
where men, long since past school age,
but wishing to fit themselves for cler-
ical orders, are trained for the minis
try. They are poor men who come to
Episcopal divine. There are two ex-
sailors among them, one or two with
army experience, some clerks, me-
chanics and farmers.
The school Is cooperative. There
are no tuition fees, and every one OF
the students works at some occupa-
ton about the farm and industrial
plant for his keep and training. Rev.
w. S. Claiborne, archdeacon of the
Episcopal diocese of Tennessee, is the
director of the work, Immediately
supervised by Rev. M. p. Logan, D..
D., the warden
Some of the men are married. The
women sew. sweep. cook, mend, tend
chickens, nurse any sick and are al
ways busy. And all agree.
There are no hard and fast rules
except that of cooperation. Perhaps
never was more uncertain adventure
more self-sacrifcingly translated into
fact Already men have gone out from
the school and, in small spheres, be-
come powers.

BOTH DOCTORS AND BARBEns
ONCE IN SAME PROFESSION

AS late as the eighteenth century,
when George III, was on England s
throne, the barber and the surgeon
were affiliated; and the barber was
known as "barber-surgeon." Since
l74o, when statute was passed sepa-
rating the two, the conception of the
barber as member of skilled pro-
fession has undergone considerable
change although there are many who
have acquired more than passing skill
as lay experts on diseases of the skin
and hair, due to their studying the
findings of doctors and other scien-
lists

Sioux City, Aug. 24.-Juevnile de-

TO ERECT MEMORIAL FOR
PERSHING'S MOTHER

Captain Emerson j. Lonas post OF
the American Legion at Marysville
Tenn, will mark the birthplace OF
General PersEing's mother in Blount
county with memorial tablet, post
officials have announced.
Since it became known that the
mother of General Pershing was born
in Blount county the local Legion post
undertook to provide a suitable me-
mortal to mark the place, and Robert
Barker, chairman Of the fine arts com
mittee took the matter up with the
Tennessee Historial society, which
furnished the bronze cast. It is APP
proximately two feet by three feet in
size and bears the following inscrip-
ton:

NARCOTIC SLEUTHS MAKE
HAUL IN SENSATIONAL RAID

What is declared to be the biggest
narcotic raid ever staged in the south
west was terminated successfully at
the jefferson hotel, Phoenix, this
week, when 200 ounces of crystal CO.
caine, very rare form of the drug,
declared to be worth almost 100000
in retail value, was seized and the
peddlers arrested by J. H. Fleming,
local narcotic agent, with the assist
ance of Narcotic Agent John Tully,
working out of the Ell Paso office.
George Vlassis, C. C. CASTILLO, alias
Mariana Martinez, and George Cha
praIes, alias Luis Davis, were placed
under arrest. The case is unusually
striking from the fact that the CO.
caine was delivered to Mr.. Tully at
his room in the hotel by the three men
in the belief that he was bona fide
buyer. The arrest of the dope ped
dlers was spectacular in the extreme.

charge of the distribution of Christ
mas stockings. A large Christmas
tree was erected by the Legionnaires
in their hall, formerly an armory
which has been decided to them, and
168 stockings distributed to the chill
dren of the city. At night a Legion
dance was held. 1t was attended by
the best people of the city, the at,
tendance being so large it taxed the
capacity of the large hall. Some so
cial affair is given in the hall twice
a month, H. B. Wardin, the new COM

tant, said.

planned. "Wait until you see our bal
loon dance"
The ballon dance was two-step.
Each of the pretty young ladies tied
two balloons to her ankles and the
winner was the girl who succeeded in
ending the number with her balloons
intact. The popping of the balloons
announcing the casualties of many
fair maidens' ambitions, recalled the
days of other skirmishes minus the
laughs and applause.
