Dicines on the Alert!

THAT unknown treasures are still hid w and buried in the libraries and crypts
 of ancient Italian cities. Word comes from Rome that Professor Mario de Martino- Fusco, world-famous photographer has stumbled on a manuscript on the life of Christ by. Livy, the Roman historian, who flourished at the time when St. Paul was a prisoner in Rome. To anxious questions from theologians the world over, Professor De
 Martino has answered that he would like to remain undisturbed, because his find is of the utmost importance. Its authenticity can not be doubted" but some of the writing
 about Christ is "so startling and sensational from, the theological standpoint" that he must
 go to work with the utmost care and pre- cision If the discovered manuscript is gos- pei, it is hard to imagine how it escaped the
 destructive zeal of the early church fathers, who ordered all gospels, 400 in number, de- stroyed with the exception of four, which have been preserved to this day. The fact that the professor speaks about startling and sensa- tionai revelations" from theological point, can hardly be otherwise construed than that the world will get it's first account of the life of Christ written according to the Arian version All gospels which did not treat of Christ as a person in the Blessed Trinity
 were destroyed. This one may have survived the slaughter. If Livy actually wrote the account which the professor has discovered, it will also be the oldest gospel. For Liyy died before the destruction of the temple of Tibe- rius and our gospels were all written after that event. In the case of the Gospel of St.
 John, this was even 225 years after Christi

Play by Play Account of an Intern Polo Match


 Polo Match DEF0RE the largest crowd ever assembled D to look at a prince, the international polo match took place today The prin- cipal contestants were the British and Amer ican polo teams and the next king of England. It was sharp, fast, bitterly fought game, the Prince of Wales getting the popular de- cision.
 It was the best dressed polo match ever held and exceeded the last international se- ries by one prince, three dukes, four earls, a couple of ex-kings, one former president, a brace of baronets, fourteen countesses and practically the entire U. s. army and navy. "The first match proves, as I have con- tended right along," declared the referee, that silk will be the predominating material in women's clothes.
 ''I feel, too, that the work of both teams will result in better tailored men for the balance of the year at least' t-.

"NOise on the Left"


 If you read the French papers, conserva- tive and radical alike, you will be struck by the eyer-recurring words, 'Noise on the ex- treme left" in the reports on the sessions of the French parliament. Herriot gets up to speak, Noise on the extreme left" Painleve raps for order, more Noise on the extreme left" even though he breaks his gavel and shouts in the face of the tumultuous storms. But that is about all we hear from the ex- treme left. Recently when Premier Herriot returned from London, "Comrade" Marty, un- couth and ragged leader of the communists, held in his hand huge poster. On the pos ter were the words: "One more crime, re- ferring to the London agreement. Premier Herriot paid not the slightest attention. He is socialist himself and knows his Pappen- heimers. The reds are not in the parliaments of Europe to help along with the adminis- tra ion of the different counties, were it even by criticism. They use the parliaments for propaganda and obstructionist tactics. They cant simply behave like decent human be- ngs and cooperate for the amelioration of the people. Their hope lies in utter hopeless ness for the masses That, they figure, will mean their hour of triumph.

Old Lady Is Dieting

The Almanach de Gotha has reappeared in Europe But the new editions are quite less bulky than before the war and-they are printed in French. This means that German royalty and nobility have sunk back into the obscurity that surrounded them in the old pre- -Bismarckian days of independent Ger manic states. The Alamanach failed to ap7 pear during the great war, but it has sur vived like it survived the French revolution, the Napoleonic wars, the revolutions of the forties and the war of 1870. In the new edi- tion you will find instead of long lists of Hohenzollerns and Romanoffs pages devoted to the pedigree, and descent of the king-em- perors of Ethiopia and Siam. The new Gotha must come as a distinct disappointment to the dowagers in Europe, who were fond of memorizing its every detail and quoting whole genealogies by heart. Another upheaval in Europe, perhaps not an armed conflict, but the gradual evolution of democratic thought, will even further take the bulk out of the old lady of Gotha.

King Acts Like 2 Man

In the new kingdom there is powerful party of Groat peasants and nationalist They have asked for an election and hope to increase their representa- tion in the federal parliament at Belgrade. Paschitch advised the king to disregard the request of the Greats. This would mean, of course, that he himself would continue in office with greater power than before, and that likely with the attributes and charac- teristics of a, dictator, King Alexander re- fused It's not often these days that king dares to be king in reality Alexander of Jugoslavia did it and it counts for his glory

PHlLA "DEVIl DOG"
 CHIEF, AFTER CROOKS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-General s. D. Butler, marine dictator has slammed down the mailed fist on Phil adelphia
 Beginning a forty -eight-hour drive against the "crooks and cesspools" of the city, which ended 1923 with the greatest number of poison liquor deaths in the country and an ap- palling crime record, General Butler, who won fame during the war, gave his first order to the Philadelphia police force, of which he is now in supreme command.
 T will give you forty-eight hours from p. m. Tuesday to close up every illegal drinking place or crook ed shop in the city. Fail, out you go.
 "Put some bandit notches in your guns," Butler thundered to the men in a meeting "Clean up the crime cesspools. Don't waste time bawling out people who make left hand turns. Catch the bandits. Never mind chaS- ing a couple of blocks after automo- piles without tail lights. Keep the bandits from robbing mail wagons.

MEMBERS OF INDIAN
 TRIBE TALK TO ONE
 ANOTHER BY WRESTLING

BERKELEY, Calif, Jan. 30.-A tribe of Indians whose members communi, cate among themselves only by whis. ting and who can talk to birds in the same manner has been found in the Siskiyou mountains in northern California. The discovery was re- ported to A. L. Kroeber, curator of anthropological museum of the Uni versity of California by J. R. Saxon of the United States forestry service. Saxon said that for weeks forest rangers in a remote part of the Siskiyous had heard uncanny whist ings over the service wires that stretch from station to station thru the mountains He went to investigate and after nightfall was caught in a mountain storm. He found small cabin of Indian construction. It was empty ana he prepared to spend the night there.
 The ranger recalled that he left the shack to stable his horse in lean.to nearby. When he returned, he said, he found steaming food laid on the floor. and beside it bed of deer and bear skins provided for him. But no one was in sight.
 For two days related Saxon, he lived there in this way. When he left the cabin food would be spread for him. butwith no amount of aglF itv could be discovered the unseen dls penser of hospitality
 Finally, on the third day, several Indian men appeared at the caolh' and in sign language informed him that he had been their guest.

 Saxon believes that the isolated clan of "whistling people" is an obs cure off-shoot of the Karok tribe of Klamath Falls Indians.
 Professor Kroeber said the Karoks were an unusually intelligent and in dustrious tribe, number today about 1 ,OOO. He is Investigating the report of the whistling Indians.

The issue, whether assembling
with" can be made a crime in
the United States, is to be set
tied so far as the state of Michi-
gan is concerned by decision of
the supreme court here.
The issue comes up in the
charge against c. E. Ruthen-
berg, convicted at st. Joseph,
Mich, last year for assembling
with the Communist party con-
vention at Bridgeman the year
before.
Hearing Set for Oct. is.
The date Of the hearing before the
Michigan supreme court Of the Ruth.
enberg case has been set for Oct Is.
The defendants brief was filed some
ten days ago and today the attorney.
general, Daugherty, of the state OF
Michigan, filed the brief of the state
The argument of the defendant is
that the Michigan criminal syndical
list law is unconstitutional being in
violation of the constitution of the
state of Michigan, and that Of the
United States The defendants ar
gument is based upon legal grounds
The answer Of encouragement Daug
herty for the state of Michigan is that
the Michigan syndicalist law Stands
on guard against the destruction OF
the stale aud the United States con,
stitutions."
Besides the issue OF the constitu
tionality Of the Michigan law, on gen.
eral principles the defendants argu
ment is that the application made OF
this law in the Ruthenberg case is un.
constitutional even tho the state has
the power to enact such law.
He Only Assembled.
The basis of this argument is the
fact that the only charge made against
Ruthenberg was assembling with" an
organization and no evidence was sub
mitted that either Ruthenberg or this
organization had committed any act
in the state of Michigan which Great
ed clear and present danger for any
overt act of any kind.
The state of Michigan will be rep
resented in the hearing by the attor
