aGES-OLD SIGN is PASSING
Pa"nbrokers Gradually Doing Away
With Emblem That Has Been
Common the World over.

The crest of the house of lombard,
which for three centuries has topped
the entrance TO every pawnshop in
Christendom, is gradually coming
down. Here in New York the fire
department has discovered that the
three golden balls. which remind you
that your watch and your overocat are
ever-present friends in need, seriously
hamper the operations of the freight

The department has sent out no con-
crete orders To do away with the signs,
but the pawnbrokerS themselves have
come to the conclusion that their busi-
ness can be as effectually served by
painting the three golden balls on
their display windows as by hanging
them out H. the open where every be
deyiled kiu in the neighborhood takes
shot at them with stone

who want to negotiate a loan on their

Country Life.

The growth of interest in country
j life is not promoted merely by the
increasing conviction that ii is going
TO offer good business chances.
These opportunities will be we'll
worth the ambition of industrious
young people. But there is more
than that in the attraction of country
/ life.
A deep attachment to the locality
and the soil and the homestead is
developed in rural living. The
city dweller moves around too much
Tie usually develops no strong ties to
1 Ibis location. He often becomes a
ia9rant and bird of passage.
Even if he settles down and buys a
home, his grounds are commonly too
limited to develop much beauty
Even in attractive suburbs around
large cities, the people live too close
together to develop attachment to the
soil. The hand of man defaces
natural scenery aud one always has
sense of fair work of nature that
has been marred.
In a country home people feast their
eyes on the hills and plains and
groves and rivers. The line of
trees on the far horizon is the finger
of God, writing his love in their
hearts. Every feature of the land
cape becomes dear to them like the
face of some deeply cherished friend
They part from such a beloved scene

space enough TO develop it in a natura

CRISIS IN PROHIBITION

Admittedly, prohibition enforcement is at a crisis. Will prohibition ever prohibit is a question answered ac- cording to the personal opinion of the individual to whom it is propounded. For a time after the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead Act were passed the dry sentiment was vigorous because it was untried and an experiment. Of late there has been recession of ideas and an in creasing doubt as to the possibility of real enforcement of prohibition.
 At the Northern Baptist convention held at Atlantic City, N. J. this week, it was admitted indirectly in con- mittee report that the situation from a dry standpoint is not all that might be desired. The report said three factors contributed to the serious hour of the drys:
 The situation in some of the states where public officials are derelict, the anti-prohibition propa- ganda spread by some newspapers, and third, and most serious, the apathy of church people. The hardest fight, the most difficult work. the most critical days are ahead. The next ten years may determine the fate of prohibition for all the future. The world is watching the results of prohibition in our land. The churches created the conviction that made the eight eenth amendment possible. The churches must stir the conviction that will make prohibition reality all over the land"
 While we believe that prohibition was brought about by the actions o the liquor interests themselves, if tn, church people desire to claim tn victory for prohibition we are willing to concede them a hollow victory. Bu they are giving up early.
 A few days ago a dispatch iron Chicago carried the information tha the churches had given up hope 0 making the city dry.

WASHINGTON D. C., June 14-I KenyaColony, in Africa, which is none other that erstwhile British East Af- rica, appears in London dispatches be- cause immigrants from India who set tied there wish to retain their full British citizenship rights in their new homeland.
 Though seldom heard from, Kenya is one of the most fascinating regions of the globe, geographically speaking" 5" says the bulletin from the Washington D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society.
 "At it's southeast corner is Lake Vic toria second largest fresh-water lake in the world. Along its shores dwell a people whose nudity is symbol of their modesty and whose men are as beautifully formed specimens of their sex as are the MarQuesas women of theirs.
 Africa's High Mountains Just across Kenya's southern bor- der is Killimanjaro, highest mountain in Africa, and near it's center is Ken va peak, also volcanic, which o'ertops Mount Whitney by some 5000 feet.
 Cutting across the colony is the fla nous Rift valley, here from 20 to 40 miles wide, and generally several thousand feet below the plateau's gen. eral level.
 However it is as zoo and lux uriant botanical garden that Kenya makes it's chief appeal to the nature loving visitors. Perhaps it's most amaz- ing single spectacle is the flamingo colony on the northern shores of Lake Harrington. The banks are dazzling white with the birds guano, their nests are mounds of mud spread like molehills on plat plain.
 "The adult bird has a rose-pink neck and body and the beak is purple and scarlet, with the wing feathers of a bright crimson. For a mile or so before one reaches their haunt he can hear these birds-the splash and swish of

The action of New York in passing legislation repeating the state prohi- bition law and in effect tn owing the burden upon the federal government -an act termed by the drys as se- cession from the Union, in that the states are charged with the duty or enforcing the federal law, was dis tinct blow to the churches. The gov ernor of New York is admittedly a "wet" man, and was undoubtedly In good standing with the liquor dealers, but the situation is one which con- tributed greatly to the wet cause.
 So far prohibition has not prohio- tied. and probably it never will pro- hibit in the strict sense of the term The drys point to the fact that laws against murder have not prevented murder. While prohibition has un doubtedly lessened drunkenness, es- pecially in Alaska, it has brought oth CT and greater evils in its train. such as rum running, bootlegging and par Tor drinking.
 But the question is whether dr! sentiment will continue to grow o' whether a reaction will come. Presi dent Harding, termed "100 per cent dry Y" has said that it will take ter wears to make a test of prohibition

The World Court is really a World Supreme Court and could be used to defeat the will of the peoples of the world, just as the Supreme Court of the United States, by declaring leg islation unconstitutional, has repeat edly thwarted the will of the people as expressed through elected repre- sentatives.
 No court has power to enforce compliance with it's decisions. It re- lies upon police, military and naval forces A World Court is subject to the same limitations as proved by the fact that all the major nations in the World Court maintain their military and naval establishments.
 The World Court does not function at the present time with forty-fve na tions in it, as it failed to adjudicate the differences in the Ruhr valley and strife in Turkey, Bulgaria and other nations belonging. Our entrance cer tainly would not change their view point
