tinct his ranks are being decimated
annually, according to reports COW
ering an average ten year period
compiled from the offices Of public
instruction in ten central states.
The percentage of increased high
school attendance for the period was
taken as the medium for estimate.
The average increase figure for the
decade was found to be 95.4 percent,
with extremes ranging between 1000

that the former gulf existing be-

Where will the next earth dis
turbance be?
"In the West Indies" predicts DR..
Mobiles. "The islands belong to the
third equatorial chain. They should
show signs of earthquakes or vol
canic action we'll within 30 days"
How does he arrive at his uncanny
knowledge of coming quakes?
"By observing wind directions"
DR.. Mobiles replied, "and above all by
the knowledge that comes out of
space.
I'VE are all children of nature, ut
one with her if we will be. Just as

pantomime enactment of stories
from the Good Book.
CARRIED as were the people in the
time of Genesis, the preachers char
acters emerge from the pages of the
Testament which measures some
eight feet in height, and in their
flowing robes and long hair, wildly
portray whatever lesson he has in
store for his congregation.
Rev. Sawyer's new religious de-
parture has shaken Portland's clergy
into a new train of thought, and
many concentrations have come his
way for the inventive genius which
prompted conception Of the idea.
"This has been my life's ambi-
tion," the clergyman explains. "When
mere boy preparing for the. minis
try, l first though of the plan'of en-
acting Bible stories in real life, and
not until now have been able to
do so."
Rev. Sawyer has supplemented his
plays by rewriting parts of the Tes-
lament into poetry as measure to
give added harmony to the sketches.
On the night, Of the first presenta-
ton, many Of the ,city's prominent
citizens took character parts in the
story from Genesis which deals with

but the record of the second has
j been handed down to posterity by
the few survivors of the 'Deluge.'
i Mountain ranges, you know, art
built up at the equator, due to con

blowing up of volcanic areas through
the volcanic fires eating away tn

takes place, and enormously destruc
tive explosions follow.

Not far from that equator, located

Virginia, was the Garden of Eden.
There, and not in Asia, as is COM

EXILE FINDS
LONDON REFUGE
Flees Across Six European
Borders Unrecognized
to England

London, Oct. 1O.-Stephen Raditch,
the stormy petrol Of Jugoslavia, is
now in London. The irrepresible
Croatian patriot, who has been COM
pared to Patrick Henry, Kossuth,
d'Annunzio and De Valera, fed
across six European borders unrecog-
nized and found refuge in the Brit
ish capital. The Belgrade authori-
ties had accused him of high trea-
son for defying the government and
comparing the country's young
queen, Marie, to Madame de Pompa-
dour for her extravaganza.
Raditch was formerly bookseller
in Zagreb, Croatia. He is gifted
with great eloquence,> and all the in
dependent spirit and fiery temper of
the true patriot. He began his blood
less fight for home rule against the
Serbs in 1918, after Croatia had be-
come merged with the new kingdom
of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
| Like the sons of Ireland who fought
to achieve the independence of their
country, Raditch from that time
| never ceased the struggle for the
freedom of his countrymen. He was
constant thorn in the side of the
Belgrade government, which both
feared and respected him. After
warning him many times against his
!, radical utterances, the cabinet had
him arrested, but soon ordered his
release when his supporters threat
ened a revolution.
Raditch is sometimes described as
The Mystery Man of Europe, and he
has always been an enigma even t.
the Serbs, who variously call him
charlatan, scroundrel and lunatic
But none of these epithets is regard

ed by outsiders as just, for the
Croatian leader had behind him the
whole Of his little nation. He is
small in stature and unimpressive in
appearance, but possesses striking
intellectual talents, much charm of
manner, and many ideas which tum-

find expression.
