IMPERIALISM
DENOUNCED BY.
CLERGYMEN

Birmingham, England, May 81
Imperialism and its social structure
find few advocates among the pre-
ent-day leaders of Protestant
churches in England who have been
meeting here for the Conference on
Christian Politics, Economics and
Citizenship.
Several attacks upon imperialism
had been made when the Rev. II. Ho-
garth rose to protest against inper-
ialism being regarded as necessarily
selfish.
care we wrong?" DR.. Hogarth
asked, when in singing Land of
Hope and Glory our hearts re echo
to the line God who made the mighty,
make thee mightier still?"
"Yes!" cried the delegates.
Then we must scrap the monu-
ments to our national heroes in
Westminster Abbey" retorted the
speaker, to which the delegates loud
ly agreed.
"Was the campaign of Lord Kit
,hener in the Soudan wrong, and
V ere Christian statesmen like Lord
Salisbury wrong?" Mr.. Hogarth con-
tinued.
The delegates gave the same re-
Spouse and the speaker gave up his
questioning. s.
BY an overwhelming majority the
conference passed resolution to
ask the government to abolish capital
punishment. The motion was intro
duccd by c. r. Simpson, a LOEdOn
Quaker -.

RHYMES FOR
CHILDREN

ITS all right to have the dope
on healthy children, but how are We
going to make them learn it so that
they can remember it?" asked Mr.
Mann Of Mrs. Mann as they sat in
the dining room after the d.nncl
meal.
Mrs. Mann smiled approvingly al
the question. She hadE wondered
about this and made inquiry. Friends
help children learn their A 3 C's
and at the same time instill in their
minds certain important health Ia,
bits.
This "game" is extensively used
by the American Child Health Asso-
citation and can be adapted to any
home.
Thus, little rhymes are arranged
for the children to remember.
They can be procured BY writing
to this association, $40 Seventh Ave
nue., New York. A general idea can
be obtained from the following cou-
plets:
A is for air-we can have all we
please
So lets open the window and let in
the breeze.
B is for bathing, also for begin,
So let's fill the tub and jump imme-
diately, in.
WIS for water--there is plenty, You
know a.
Keep drinking and see just how
strong you will grow.

Painters Get Good
Wage in Toxic

Toxic, May 27.-Nearly all classes
of skilled labor are receiving higher
pay during the reconstruction peri
cd in Toxic, but none have profited
more than the painters.
Before the. great earthquake and
fire of September /, the Japanese
were noted for the lack of paint
outside and inside. their houses.
With the construction of thousands
of temporary buildings, however,
mostly of lumber, there has been a
great increase in. the use of paint.
Painters are now paid as high as
yen day, approximately double
their pre- quake wages. Carpenters
and masons also share in the recon
structon prosperity but to small
err degree, their wages averaging
about S yen a day.

Aim of British
Women Is Half of
Parliament Seats

London, May 27.-More women
members of Parliament, and yet
more. is the slogan of the Women's
Freedom League which held its l7ih
annual conference here recently.
Mrs. Schofield Coates, presiding,
said the eight women members Of
Parliament We're the advance guard.
But they were not satisfied, they
wanted quite half the seats in the
House and they wanted more women
at the head of some Of the depart
ments. The advent Of Labor 60

that the inequalities that existed in
the franchise laws as between men

H0ME0F JEFF
DAYISIS WAR
MEMORIAL.

Memphis, Tenn, May 27.-Thc old
home of jefferson Davis in this city
is to be repaired and preserved rs a
twO-fold memorial of the Civil War
and the World War. The quaint old
structure is to be maintained in its
original plan and design in the midst
of small group of mansions Of 9TH
or days which still stand in the heart
Of the downtown district.
Veterans of the World War have
sponsored the movement, which has
as its object not only the prescrva-
ton of the Davis home for the his
torcal value of its Civil War associa-
tions, but also to give Memphis Post
No. I, American Legion, homo that
is to serve as Il memorial to World
War dead.
jefferson Davis lived in Memphis
two years during the reconstruction
period. His home was located at
what is now Court Avenue and
Fourth Street, almost within u
stones throw of Main Street. The
house was the center Of the city's
social activity during the brief per-
iod the ex-president of the confcder-
acy and his family lived here. But
when Mr.. Davis moved away, the
dwelling was permitted to fall into
decay and as the business district
pushed eastward from the river, it
became enmeshed in crowded dis
trict of business structures.
The Legion's appeal for funds has
found ready response among the peo-
pie Of Memphis and in the surround
ing territory. The Legion asked for
$4,000 with which to buy the proper
ty and pay for its repair. The ma
jor portion of the sum has been paid
in, and the first two payments have
been made on the purchase price of
the property.

The Training School is a

On the part of both teacher

which cor es from service.
Every community represented

ABSENT VOTERS, BILL.

In November election the absent
voters on the registration lists
in Georgia will have an oppor-
tunity to cast their ballots, if
they get busy promptly. The a5-
sent voters bill, as passed by The
last General Assembly, provided
that qualified voters living out
side the State, or being away
from the country or district in
which they should cast their ball
lot could make application to
the ordinary of the county for
permission to vote by mail. The
provisions Of this bill arc quite
simple, An application is made
to the ordinary who in turn mails
the ballot to the applicant. VINO
casts it by registering it at post
office and having it returned &c
the ordinary to be held under
seal until election day. when II
is cast as is any other ballot.
There was considerable inter
est in this absent voters bill dur
ing the recent primary, but theea
was not sufficient time for it to
become operative, as applica
tions must be made for such bal
lot not more than sixtv DAYS be,
fore an election, and not less
than thirty. Because of this last
provision those who live awav
from their polling place and wish
to take advantage of this new le,
gislation, must make application
promptly for ballot.
1t is expected that quite nurl.

their ballots in the November ele
ction.- Savannah Press.

Laziness Mother Of
Invention

Laziness, rather than neces-
sity, is the mother of invention.
Nearly all progress is the result
of mans attempt to dodge
work-hnd an easier way.
The cave man disliked the
hard labor involved in climbing
up the steep cliff to his cave. So
he pondered and schemed until
the idea of rope or rawhide
ladder occurred to him. Ages
later, laziness revolted at climb
ing stairs and invented the ele-
vator.
Long ago, far back in the
mists of time, a primitive genius
staggering through the jungle
with a heavy carcass on his back
sat down to rest. A wild horse
galloped past. Prestol Here
was a beast that might carry
man burdens. Hard to catch
and tame the horse. but laziness
was enough inducement. To
handle the horse, harness had to
be invented. Later, wagons with
wheels. The gigantic science of
transportation came into being.
A farmer lad in southern
Ohio, disliking the lifting of a
heavy wagon to remove the
wheels, invented the lifting jack
you use on YOUR auto.
Finish the list yourself. 1t is
endless

brokeply as a hunt for ease. says

sity. Life tends to follow1 the

BCOTLEGGERS' PATRONS ARE.
WARNED

The great number If Amer1-
cans employing the services of
bootleggers have doubtless in mosc
cases assumed that, though it is
illegal to sell, it is not illegal to
buy. This impression has recci
we'd a severe shock in Arkansas,
where the Federal authorities
have used the list surrendered W
a convicted bootlegger as a ba-
sis for warrants for the arrest
of his real or alleged customers,
who are said to include proml-
nent citizens and even high Of
fitials. These respectable and
supposedly law-abiding persons
are now charged with PROCURING,
possessing and transporting for
hidden liquors. And according
to report this is. only the begin
ming of a drastic Federal cam
paign against the customers Of
bootleggers in all the States.
If such persons can be brought
to book in Arkansas and else
where, there is prospect of \
stable disturbance in these
United States. 1t is scarcely too
much to say that Congressman,
Senators, Governors. even Judg IS
and clergymen-if all one hears
is true-will share with ordinary
citizens the danger of seen g
