SUBSTITUTES FOUND
 FOR CHURCH RITUAL
Russian Peasants Taking To Com
 munist Rites

MOSCC 7, Sept. S.-(By Associated Press.) s.)-Love of ceremony is too hu- man a trait to permit of its aban- donment even In Russia in the three principal events of family life, birth marriage and death. Certain Com munist rites" are therefore finding their way into the family lives of Russian peasants and orkmen as a substitute for church ceremonies.
 These conclusions are brought out in an article by Leon Trotsky, the Russian war commissar. Tn some cases they contradict the previous ruling theory among Communists In Russia that, as Trotsky puts 1t, the workers state had disclaimed to its citizens that. they had the right to be born, marry and die without any cere- mony whatsoever"
 "The life of laboring family is too monotonous for this, and the monot- ony reacts upon the nervous system craving for the c,-lrch and its cere- monies. The workers state already has its holida and processions. It's sights and parades, it's new symboli- cal pleasure, and the new state theatre.
 Instead of naming their children after some saint, many workmen now

In place of christenings there are n~ v ''half Joking inspections" of new born babies by factory committees, and special protocols are drawn up in. in. cluding the new conner among the free citizens of the Soviet republic. The entrance of pupil to school Is also marked by special holiday in the workers family, with the partici- ration of trade unions and guilds.
 So far as marriages are concerned, Trotsky says life does not want to content itself with the mere marriage, theatrically un -dorned."
 Cremation is the proper system of disposal of the dead. but there must be ceremonies, for "the requirement for outer appearances of feelings Is both mighty and lawful"
 Trotsky advocates the development of moving pictures as an antidote for both the church and the saloon.

MOVE TO SUPPRESS WOMEN MINE LABOR
India Stirred By New Government
 Program

SIMLA. India. Sept. S.-The Ques- ton of the advisability of prohibit ins. the employment of women in mines has again been taken up by about one-third of the mine workers in India are women. Since 1842 women have been excluded from mines in England; in 1901 an attempt was made to prohibit them from In- dian mines. This effort failed on part of employers. Expression was given to the fear that If steps were taken to prevent women relatives of men workers from going below the latter would themselves refuse to work in mines.
 The department of industries and labor of the central government has sent a letter to each of the provin- cial governments, asking for advice with regard to possible legislation against the employment of women in mines.
 Since 1901" says this letter, mining conditions have undergone a considerable change. Indian min ing Is no longer in it's infancy: the mines are deep, and the risk of dan ger is accentuated. There Is a steadi- ly increasing body of public opinion which strongly depreciates the con tinued employment of women in mines."
 Opposition to this proposed reform has already been started by the Brit ish imperialist press in India. It is argued that conditions of employ ment in Indian mines are funda- mentally different from those In western countries, and that Indian mine labor works in family gangs, women assisting their relatives and helping to swell their earnings.

 Statement

WASHINGTON, S>pt. J.- Despite government efforts In promoting the most efficient develo- ment of oil fields. it is becoming more and more evident that the countrys oil pro- ducing will probably never again catch up with the demand. according to recent statement of the bureau of mines.
 Domestic consumption increased from 261. 100000 barrels in 1914 to 5S6, 100000 barrels in 1922, tn, bu- reaus figures show, while produc- tion increased from r6L,00v,c00 Lar rels to 552,0oo.o0 In the same period. Imports increased to make up the de- felt.
 Bureau engineers we made exten- sive investigations of oil shale de- posits In the Rocky Mountains and elsewhere. and declare a potential fuel supply of great importance exists In these deposits anu some day will furnish the raw materials upon which producers must rely Investi gation Is being continued to deter mine the most favorable conditions and methods for retorting oil from shale deposits.

GARAGE WILL REPLACE
HISTORIC OLD HOTEL

MilledgevilIe, Ca, July 25.-
The old McComb Hotel, across the
street from the campus of the Geor-
gia Military college, has been
bought by L N. Jordan, agent of
the Dodge Brothers and the Chevro-
let cars, and will be pulled down
and converted into a modern two
story garage.
The, point of interest about the
hotel is that it is ITO years old and
stood on its present site when Chi
cago was still lacking house.
Furthermore, it was the old head
quarters for members of the legis-
lature when Milledgeville was the
seat of state government. The an
mex, which was occupied of late
years by Walker & Stanley's buggy
and harness business, was torn
down recently, the annex having
stood 100 years. Lafayette danced
with the lovely Georgia bellies of
his period in this+aunex and from
the balcony he delivered a speech
to the cheering patriots below. The.
hotel has been used as an apart
ment house ever since the Civil
War; though it has lost all of
its one-time glory and has thou
sands of tacks driven into its sides
where circus and other posters
have been hung up, it has a senit-
mental place in the hearts of the
people of Milledgeville for the part
it played in the past.

DRYDEN RETURNS AFTER
ATTENDING ATHENS MEET

BRUNSWICK, July 25.-Supt:
C. E. Dryden has just returned
from Athens where he attended the
convention of county school sup
erintendents held in that city and
he reports the meeting success
full one in every detail.
The attendance was good and
much interest was manifested, es-
pecially in the topic of selection
of county superintendent. 1t was
the consensus of opinion that bet
ter results could be obtained If
county superintendent were cleo
ted by the Board of Education in
stead of by popular vote, as at
present, and that better board
members could be procured by ap-
pointment than by popular vote.
