Tombstone of Smith frcadwell.
showing spirit Face"
BY NEA Service
SPRING LAKE Ga--Would a
spirit from the life beyond the
grave come back and chisel his like.
ness on the tombstone over the spot
where his mortal body lies buried?
For 10 years this has been the
question asked by those visiting the
cemetery here. near Dalton.
Back in 1873. Smith Treadwell ST.
was buried. Natives say nothing
unusual occurred for 40 years. Then
slowly, but surely, the face seen III
the photograph took form on the
side of the tombstone,
Il now has reached what may he
called perfect form. 1t IS as closely
like photographs Of Treadwell Ia
two pictures cam be they say--a per.
feet resemblance of the man buliei
this half century.
Was it the wind, the rain and the
snow? And, if so. why mas not the
phenomenon been repeated In other
parts of the world if 1t were a woI K
of the elements? Has a spirit hand
carved the engraving? Or has ome
one on this earth done it?
No one has accounted for IT as
yet, and the strange, uncanny hap
pening has strengthened the belief
in spiritualism by many of those III
these parts who heretofore have
scoffed.

SAYS PREPARATIONS TAhGLE
MUST Be SETTLED

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE
Satisfactory an dequitable settlement
OF the question of Preparations and OF
settlements on the part of the powers
defeated by the allied government in
the Word War are foremost of&all
matters which concern the present
and future welfare of mankind, in
the opinion Of DR.. +. L. Hoffman, of
Babson Institute, who today address,
ed the annual meeting of the Amer
lean Academy of Political and Social
Science. The speaker declared there
could be no enduring peace and
genuine economic progress until a
settlement was reached on the basis
of principles that "by their clearness
and fairness to all concerned would
appeal to the sense OF International
justice, while aiming c~onstructively
at the reorganization of ~internation-
al relations. Past failures of efforts
in this direction, he said, were not
a encouragement, but a guide TO
methods Of procedure more likely to
yield the results expected.
until the whole question is ap.
preached in a spirit of liberal char
ity towards all" DIR. Hoffman sair.
"a solution is impossible. It ie the
only policy that can govern, for the
full consequences OF the war can
never be paid, however our con-
science may revolt against the
thought that the consequences
should not fall with crushing severity
upon those responsible for the world
conflict.
THE worlds sympathies are with
France, but the worlds Judgment is
clearly against the course she has
taken in seeking b yforce of arms
what would have been yielded to her
by proper political and economic
pressure. France has not gained,
but lost, by the Ruhr occupation.
Each day only increase the sinister
complications. IL the objective of
the occupation is PREPARATION in fun,
that objective is being destroyed. If
the purpose have a larger political
significance, the implied dangers are
Of the very first order to the whole
civilized world. French imperialism
is as much a menace TO mankind az
German imperialism"

TAHITIANS ADOPT JAZZ
 AND LOSE NATIONALIST
Nation Once One of Worlds Most virtuous Now Slips to
 Much Lower Level

Papeete, Tahiti, Dec. 1s.--hmid the clamor of small nations throughout the world for self-dotermination, the Tahitians are almost alone in their lack of national consciousness. The influence of white settlers is largely responsible for this apathy.
 The Tahitisns were a distinctive people. But virtually all memory or traditions, all pride of ancestry have gone, along with their primitive art, their ancient ceremonies, the beauty Of their choral music and even the purity of their soft language.
 The young Tahitian seeks to be a white man--with indifferent success. He has lost his geneology. Today he Is amused by third-rate motion pic- lures. jazz and the pleasures of the rum bottle.
 Hahiti once held one Of the moa virile races. Tn ancient times they were hardy mariners, and their ex- ploits as explorers into unknown seas have seldom been edualled in history.
 sayants say that the Tahitisns. as a pure race. are doomed. The predic- tions is made that in half a century they will have vanished from the earth.

CARDINAL MAKES APPEAL
 FOR IRISH PRISONERS
Asks Free State to Clear Its Prison Camps and Concentration Camps
 As Christmas Present

Belfast, Dec. 1s.-Uuhappily. Ire- land is threatened with another Christmas lacking the peace, good will, unity and charity which should be the leading features of the Feast of the Nativity, says message of Cardinal Iogue to be read in all the Catholic church of his archdiocese. His Eminenee said that were 1t at his disposal he should have the pris- ons emptied and the concentration camps deserted before Christmas. He appealed to the government of the Free State to clear It's prison camps as quickly as 1t could, retaining only those convicted of crime or liable for trial.
 Noting that a large number of pris- oners had entered on a hunger strike to force their release. and that many still persisted in denying themselves food, the Cardinal said this was his chief anxiety.
 Tt appears to me foolish, ineffec. two and of very doubtful morality" said his message. 'T know hunger strikers do not intend their own death. but they are rislsing it. [ would earnestly appeal to them to abandon this dangerous and unlawful expedient."

Davi- son Chemical, Houston Oil, Pan-Am- erican B. Standard Oil of California and Gulf States Steel each yielded point or more. May Department Stores was one of the few exceptions, gaining 1 E points. Foreign exchanges opened steady.
 D. m.-Extension of the forenoon losses in some of the active stocks notably tobacco products which lost four points was attended by sharp road shares particularly Omaha, pfd. and Soo and the latter falling to a new low figure for the year at 43. A rally in Corn Products from 15ll F to 156 caused a number of other spec ulative shares to subsequently, stiffen slightly.
 Closing. The closing hour was heavy. Some of the oil shares crept upward in the final hour but in other quarters the main trend continued downward.
 Stock prices developed reaction ary tone in today's active market. Selling was inspired by Washington dispatches indicating that a soldier bonus bill might be passed over the presidents veto and speculative be- lief that the technical position of the market warranted downward re- vision of prices, As heretofore, there were several conspicuous exceptions to the main trend, particularly in stocks of companies likely to be benefited by the heavy holiday trade. Sales approximated 100000.
