paper, he always reads that 1t has at
tackled some country outside OF the
United States. These diseases never
get into this country, nowadays.
The great plaques are cholera, ty-
plus, yellow fever and bubonic plague.
The germs Of these diseases are not al
lowed to enter any one of the ninety
six ports Of entry to this country.
In the last thirty years only one
case of cholera eluded the watchful-
ness of quarantine officers and that
one was caught before any damage
was done. About iitteen years ago, a
few cases Of bubonic plague occurred
on the Pacific Coast, but the disease
was soon stamped out.
A single person afflicted with any
one of these plaques might cause death
to millions. Exclusion does not lie
at the ports of entry alone. United
States officers are in foreign ports to
prevent persons with dangerous con-
tagions from embarking for America.

In answer to an article by James

are no discrepancies iii the records OF
Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1872.

Jesus through Mary. his mother. to
David through Matthew. David's thi I'd

through Joseph to David through Solo,
mon. Jesus became related to the hu.
man family. as all may clearly see,
through Mary, his mother. Both
Joseph and Mary. as can be seen. were
descendants of David, which is shown
by the two accounts.
"Jacob Begat Joseph"
Matthew states that Jacob begat
Joseph which would make Jacob
JOseph's father. while Luke states that
Joseph was the son of He'll or Eli,
which would be legal. He being Mary s

Relationship of Mother"
Neither does our Lords claim to the

would have been debarred from any
ancestral right to David's throne, al
though David's successor to the king

Sivty-one years ago this State Sc

man slavery. But today 1t endures
and encourages a more brutal form Of
bondage.
1t fought to free the black man. But
it will not turn it's hand to hberate the
white. Under negro slavery the serfs
were fed and clothed by their mas
tiers. but under the more brutal bon
dage today the slave is neither clothed
nor fed.
For two years 5 1000 men, women and
children-striking union miners and
their families-have lived in tents in
the Cabin Creek Valley within fifteen
miles of Charleston, the State capital
Yet even the Governor of the State
did not know Of 1t until a few days
| ago.
Governor Finds Out
Governor Morgan was driving along
! a road when he saw the tents, with
women sticking their heads out and
children playing in the mud near by.
He asked what the tents were for. The
driver told him they contained strik-
ing miners, their wives and children.
The Governor asked no more ques-
tons He wasn't interested. asked

Those men don't want to work,
he replied sharply.
That was really the way he looked
at 1t. If the miners refuse to work
for the pittance offered by the
operators, then they don't want to
work" at all and should have no
mpathy-ne!ther they nor their
families who suffer with them.
The operators Ak their own price
on their coal. but Governor Morgan
Virginia will not concede the union
miners the right to have anything to
say obout fixing a price on the only
commodity they have to sel,-their
labor.
Newspapers Uninterested
These ten colonies-six OF them In
the Cabin Creek Valley-have been
in existence two years. but not
newspaper In Charleston, only fifteen
miles away, has printed a line about
them. They are not interested either
I asked Governor Morgan what the
attitude Of public officials. politicians
and business men generally in West
Virginia is toward union labor.
Very unfriendly." he answered.
With reduced wages and slack
work, there Is more hunger in West
Virginia today than in any other State

Reptiles Grow in Size
The reptiles began to grow both
in number and in size.
In the sea. great fish lizards padded
about.
On land, ver1table dragons, the
dinosaurs. appeared.
Many of the dinosaurs were more
than 100 feet IN length. The first
dinosaurs were probably grazing or
browsing creatures, living on plants.
But meat-eating dinosaurs which
preyed on other and smaller crea-
lures, later developed.
Some Of these meat-eaters were able
to sit or stand upright, balancing their
bodies on their strong hind legs and
long heavy tails.
Certain branches Of the reptiles, the
smaller ones. learned to climb trees
Probably 1t was a safety measure to
them.
These started the conquest OF the
air. They developed bat-like webs be-
tween the front limbs and the sides
of their bodies
These great bat-hzards are known
as pterodactyls. Some of them had a
wing spread of twenty-four feet.
Birds Make Appearance
Later true birds began to appear.
The true birds, however. were not
evolved from the pterodactyl but from
another reptile, as we shall see later
on surveying life.forms.
At the close Of the Age Of Reptiles,
the mammals or warm-blooded ami
mails began to appear.
They were small and insignificant
at the time, no larger than present
day rats and mice.
But suddenly a change came. The
Age OF Reptiles ended. Biologists
aren't cSre just what caused the
change. They know that there was
a great revolution or upheaval OF
the land 1t was this upheaval that
first brought the Rocky Mountains
into existence in North America.
The reptiles were over-speciaiized.
They couldn't meet the new conditions
upon the earth.
AS a result. the great reptiles died
out and the mammals began to take
their place.
The geoloeist divides the Age of
Reptiles into various periods. These
are called the Triassic. Jurassic, Co
manchian. and Cretaceous.
