4 Present-Day Miracle of
International Faith

N the European infrmary there is at least
one spot where the disjointed times are
mending. Austria, with the friendly over
sight of the League of Nations, is moving
from bankruptcy to business vigor, from con-
fusion to fruitful order, from night of dread
to buoyant dawn.
None of the warbroken nations faced a
harder road to recovery. In the paImy days
.archy embraced upwards of two hundred and
sixty-one thousand square miles of territory
lion. OF all this there remained to Austria
after the Treaty of Versailles less than thir-
ty-one thousand square miles and hardly
more than six million inhabitants Moreover
the lands thus lost were those from which
Vienna and the manufacturing centers were
wont to draw their food supplies and in
which were located the larger part Of the
former empires transport facilities. About
a year ago an American student Of the situa-
tion wrote: with so greatly reduced areas
with no seaport, with one city, Vienna, COM
prising thirty per cent OF the whole popula-
tion thus rendering the distribution unbal-
anced and difficult of economic adjustment
with immense industrial production and vast
and fertile areas of farm lands taken away,
and with a deprecated currency and disIoca-
ton of every economic function to degrees
far greater than in other countries, Austria
is one of the grave problems of the day"
Against this sombre background OF only a
twelve-month gone, present conditions glow
with well-nigh unbelievable cheer. The ma
tional banks sound money reserve now COW
ers fifty per cent of the note circulation, and
is steadily increasing. Unemployment, which
fell from one hundred and nine thousand to
ninetyrtwo thousand persons within the
month of June, continues to wane, notwith-
standing railway administrative reforms that
have abolished thousands of needless jobs.
The railway deficit which in the autumn of
1922 was pling up at the rate of twenty mil
lion dollars year, now is grappled with an
efficiency that will convert it, in time to a
surplus. The vice president of the Pennsyl-
vania Ratroad, General William Atterbury,
who recently returned from an extensive
study of European conditions, describes Aus
trials prospects as very promising' and as
Offering much opportunity to outside in
vestors." Shares in all her industrial enter
prises rising.
If it be said that this is attributable to the
international loan of some one hundred and
seventeen million dollars foated for Austria
last spring, the question we'll may be asked,
what was it that inspired the confidence
which made that credit possible? Twenty

THE INTENDING STRUGGLE
By Dr.. Frank Crane

The amending struggle that goes on Is
between Science and Superstition. The long
conflict in which the human race is en-
gagged in it's struggle upward is a battle
between knowledge and ignorance.
This was illustrated the other day in an
address delivered at Toxic, in Japan, by
DR.. OmOri, a distinguished professor who
has made careful study of earthquakes.
He recalled the established theory that
continents had probably been formed by the
gradual elevation of the land This must stop
finally, and then comes settling down. It
is this settling down that causes the dis
turbance.
In Japan there are fifty-two volcanoes, in
Guiding the active and dormant and exclud-
ing the dead ones.
In a certain sense volcanic eruptions may
be regarded as keeping the physical economy
Of the earth unchanged and preventing the
occurrence of tremendous changes which
would occur if there were no quakesi or
eruptions.
Much of the beautiful scenery of Japan,
including the we'll known Mt. Fuj, is Of
volcanic origin
1t is interesting to note how the scien-
tific views have Ousted the superstitious.
Different mountains in Japan had their
proper gods and the various sounds from
them in Olden times were regarded as man.
ifestatiOns of the wrath of these gods, JUST
as children imagine thunder to be the voice
of the Deity. When these noises we're heard
it was the custom to raise at once the court
rank of the god who was raising the racket.
Since agitators among men could be quieted
by giving them official position, why could
not the gods be appeased in the same way?
NJ. Also, the oldest known volcano in the
country, had made trouble so long that his
court rank had been successfully raised until
finally he reached the rank of senior of the
second grade, which meant very high posi-
ton indeed
1t may also be a pertinent reflection to
remember that with every great advance or
uplift in human conditions there must ensue
a certain period of settling down; and that
not all disturbances imply the coming of
chaos some of them may be but the promise
Of q better stability.

five million dollars worth of the bonds
were oversubscribed by twice that amount in
fifteen minutes; and the story was much the
same in London, Paris, Amsterdam and other
centers of finance. within an hour after
the books were closed" writes a New York
correspondent, "the bonds were offered at
ninety-one and since have been stabilized at
ninety-two." Men whose business it is to
find secure and profitable ways Of investment
would not have taken this loan as a matter
of altruism They had exceptional guaran-
tees the Endorsement of eight leading nations.
But what guarantee had these nations them
selves?
There lies the most meaningful, the most
hopeful aspect of the entire affair. Austria
tional guidance and aid at the hands Of the
League of Nations Through that body plans
for her economic reconstruction were formed,
and under its supervision the great task was
begun. SO well did the experiment succeed
that the one hundred and seventeen million
dollar loan was proposed, and so firm was
the faith in its future that ten times that
sum could have been raised.
Faith is the heart of this miracle, the faith
of nations in one another. Thus was the
Iamest Of Europe's lame made to walk; and
thus will the blindest Of her blind be made to
see. if they will but give goodwill and CO.
operation chance to heal and bless.

What has gone before-Courtney
Harrington induces Lorry Grenville to
marry him just after she has discov-
cred that Tom Ransome, the man she
really loves, is unworthy. After her
marriage LOrry still yearns over Tom,
and when she discovers finally she is
to become a mother she is filled with
rebellion. Courtney's love for her is
so intense that it frightens her, and
on the night her baby is born she
screams out her aYersions to her hus-
band in her delirium. Courtney re-
solves to make no further attempt to
hold her, and moves over to the club,
but with cohvalescence, Lorry realizes
that the love she has had for Tom has
been transferred to her child. For a
time she is content to drift, but one
evening Courtney calls up and asks
her for an interview inasmuch as there
is a great deal to be settled. To her
amazement Lorry finds that her fear
of Courtney has vanished When she
suggests that he see the baby, how
ever, he refuses. Now go on with the

Il L special interest 10 tnOSe VINO nave
I J had accidents are the recent findings
- Of a German sayant, Professor Marble,
of WurzbUrg, with regard to the accident
risk of different people.
Stated briefly, marble holds that if, dur
ing period of five years, a person has two
or more accidents that person is likely to
have during the next five-year period three
times as many accidents as persons free
from accidents during the first period.
This conclusion Marble reaches after a
statistical survey of the accident experiences
Of three thousand men and women. From
the figures studied by him it appears:
That persons having no accidents Whatever
during a given fiye-yCar period will have
0.52 accidents during the five years i'm
mediately following.
That persons having one accident during
a five-year period will during next five
year period have OIL accidents.
That those who have more than one ac-
cident during the first fiye-year period will
have 1.34 accidents during the second.
Similar percentages were found when the
three thousand persons were divided into
thirty groups of one hundred persons in each
group and a survey made of each group
Consequently:
"The deduction seems justified that those
unlucky persons who have frequently had ac-
cidents will not, in the future be spared
such experience, but will continue to suffer
more dcclQonJS IMAM those VINO nEDertO
have seldom had an accident"
And, so giving further warrant for this
deduction it should be added that in Pro-
fessOr Marbles analysis of his Statistics &C
cOrding to the Berlin correspondent Of the
Journal of the American Medical association:
I'm viewing the total number of acct
dents, those accidents that are caused by
mere chance, such as the falling Of a brick
from a roof, are less significant than &C
cidents involving a personal element, such as
those caused by jumping from moving cars,
through carelessness in the management
of a machine"
Marble himself seems to feel that the
careIessness involved is Of a sort inherent
in the nature of the person suffering several
accidents, so that he suggests, for one
thing, that accident insurance companies
should charge higher lower premium
rates according to the frequency with which
applicants for insurance have had accidents
in the past.
But it is at least equally permissible to
assume that. excepting only in the case Of
mentally deficient or psychOpathic persons,
the accident-causing car2lessness is rc-.lli-
able. In which clse persons aware that
they fall into the class Of highest accident
risk could by sef-training in watchfulness
avert the accidents indicated for them by
Marbles statistical survey.
Which would make that survey of exceed
ing practical value alike 10 the individual
and to society.

There was another dog in Macon having
the name Of Jeff-a red Irish setter bred by
Dr.. Metcalf, of Montgomery, from Cor
don mother. The father was a Gordon also,
the prize dog Of louisiana There were
nine puppies in the litter, all Gordons but
Jeff; and Jeff was red Irish and the runt.
But he became famous for his intelligence.
[ do not believe his equal ever existed in
Georgia Jeff could differentiate between the
scent of squirrel, rabbit, quail, lark and
sparrow, and indicate to his owner each in
an unmistakable way. He would point a
live quail with dead one in his mouth, and
while retrieving a bird would lie down in a
branch and drink water without dropping
his bird. He would do this by holding his
head so that the water would run in the
corner of his mouth. One of his feats was
pointing a\cOvey from the top of a ten-rail
fence, nearly a hundred yards away. An
other retrieving wounded bird and bring
ing it nearly two miles to the masters buggy.
And still another, retrieving a live 'possum
and bringing him into camp. This dog, in
his old age, would visit his hunting friends
in the city, and return after days of alb
sence.
These dog stories will, of course, be
taken by the average man addito sails
granum, but every dog man will accept them
at their face value, and, if you are not 100
quick for him, give you others far more
wonderful The ''movie" dogs should con-
vince any one that certain breeds of dogs
develop intelligence that is really human in
its scope The full intelligence of the dog,
however, is not a par with the man, but
with the child. Dogs love children, it il
likely, for that reason. They read the child
mind and understand the child's emotions.
There was a fox terrier at Holly Bluff
that died years ago. leaving golden memories
Of acts of devotion and intelligence. His
owner was a girl-woman. When the dog
was in her lap no one could touch her, in
safety. Taken once, to a nearby summer
resort, he created a small panic when
young man, placing an arm around the mis-
tress, started out in the fox trot. 1t soon
became a fox terrier trot, for the dog. rush
ing to the rescue, seized the escorts leg
and broke up the dance. 1t was his last
visit to the resort. Dance partners there
were not oyeTplentiful at any time.
This same terrier once killed and brought
to the residence a rabbit. Finding himself
suddenly popular, he went out and came
back with live baby rabbit, which he
handled carefully. Praised for his care and
humanity, he made two more trips, each
time bringing in young rabbit. Then he
escorted a member of the family to Ger
tain hollow stump, and showed him the
then empty rabbit bed. The reader will
have to figure out why the dog spared the
babies and killed the old rabbit. I cannot.
A careful study of the dos, extending over
a long term of years. seems to justify the
opinion that its strongest emotion is jeal-
ousy; yet behind this is, at last in all prob
ability, simple love. But all emotional
actions resemble those of the human being.
OF all animals the dogs love for the human
being is the most unseIish.
