long before the discovery of America,
a cache of large spearheads made of
odsidian was discovered recently
when a large boulder was moved from
its resting place of centuries within
the city limits of Bend. The spear
heads apparently had been placed by
their maker in small fissure in the
rim of basalt which faces the Des.
chutes River from the east. The ar
ticles, approximately 200 in number,
were found when a blast was dis.
charged in the basalt rim in prepar.
ing ground for pavement. 1t is be.
lieved that the Indians took pieces of
odsidian to the banks OF the Deschutes
and made spearheads while camped
on the rivers edge.

Voice of God.
Shaw makes her say in one of these
crises:
There is no help, no counsel in any
of you. l am alone on earth; l have
always been alone. My father told my
brothers and sisters to drown me if
would not stay to mind his sheep, while
France was bleeding to death. France
might perish if only our lambs were
safe. I thought France would have
friends at the court of the king of France
and find only wolves fighting for
pieces OF her poor torn body. / thought
God would have friends everywhere, be-
cause he is the friend of everyone; and
in my innocence l believed that YOU who
now cast me out would be like strong
towers to keep harm from me. But /
am wiser now; and nobody is any the
worse for being wiser. Do YOU think
you can brighten me by telling me l
am alone. France is alone: and God
is alone; and what is my loneliness be-

he be if he listened to our jealous lit
tie counsels? Well, my loneliness shall
be my strength too; it is better to be
alone with God. His friendship will
not fail me, nor His counsel, nor His
love-"
This lonely strength forever brings
down upon itself the full concentration
of worldly powers. And to appearances.
these powers win. They have on their
side law, order and authority. So they
imprison these daring spirits, cruelty
them, burn them at the stake. But here
comes the mighty transformation. and
one can see it as the lure attracting the
Irish dramatist to the story of the
French peasant girl. After the crucifix-
ions, the tortures and the burnings. the
world turns about in frantic alteration.
All its laws and gospels and authorities

Painfully he got to his knees. and
with dazed eyes looked round the
room. Again he brushed back the
tangle of hair from his brow, and
thereafter duly considered his hand
which was wet and smeared with
blood. Understanding of where he
was and how he had come there grew
clear at last. He rose to his feet, and
stood swaying moment, looking
round, dull-eyed as drunkard.
He beheld Nancy. her shoulders

that adorned the wall beyond the
table, and in the mirror itself he be-
held the reflection of her face. 1t
was ashen, and there was a staring
CHASTITY horror in her eyes.
She reeled back. and knew. with
out power to help herself. that she
was failing, when suddenly she felt
herself caught. and supported.
She looked up, and beheld the
CHASTITY, blood-smeared face of Ran
dial HOLES, who had sprung instinc-
lively to her assistance. For long
moment she stared at him. dull
eyed, little frown of effort drawing
her brows together. Duly then she
spoke:
"Do not touch me. Did you hear?

Aye :: l heard" he answered,
"You will take the Infection" she
warned him.

On that he lifted her in his arms,
as he had lifted her once before that
night. Despite his shaken condition,
the act cost him but little effort, for
she was very slim and light. I'm

weak for any physical resistance
now-she suffered him to bear her to
the daybed.
Then he passed round the couch

her pulses beating more steadily. and
cleared her mind of some of the
numbness that had been settling upon

THEY WEREN'T CRIMINALS.

That there were still more than 1C0
men serving prison sentences for de
sertion" from the army or navy dur
ing the period between the armistlce
and the official termination of the war,
will be a shock to the average cltl-
zen.
These men couldn't have been "de-
sertcrs" in spirit. Every man who was
in service knows how exasperating was
the waiting for the discharge to come.
Many of the men were mere boys. The
excitement was over. There was no
more fighting to be done. and the
hours seemed like days and the days
like weeks. 1t is amazing that so few
deserted.
Those who did should never have
been classed as "slackers." They
weren't lodging service or danger:
They had done their full duty and had
merely become impatient at army red
tape, necessary though the red tape,
was. Government officials realized the

possibilities for claims against the gov
eminent for sickness and diSablement.
They knew it was more important to
examine the men getting out of the
army than it was to examine them
when they came in. But all the men
couldn't realize that. Many of them
felt that the government was arbitrar-
lily keeping them away from home.
They wanted to go home at the earliest
possible moment and "get the old job
back"
That was the "crime" of these 100
men who have, just been released by
President Coolidge. They have suffered
in comparative silence. while the coun-
try has been kept in an uproar over
the slackers and conscientious object
ors" who refused to hear the call to
service.
Granting them amnesty is merely an
act of delayed justice. Ii the slack
ers have been given their freedom.
these boys should get not only their
freedom but a restoration to their full
rights. They should not be saddled
with a "dishonorable discharge" for
they did nothing "dishonorable." They
may have been foolish or unwise. but

A RIDDLE FOR THE LAYMAN

When government officials themselves
violate fundamental principles of law,
and then undertake to say what is right
and what is wrong by the test OF the
new order which they have thus at
tempted to create, the mind OF the ordi-
nary mortal is likely to become all "bum-
fuzzled." lust where to begin, where to
start out to get back upon the track
of the true and the wholesome in g,N-
crnmental affairs, becomes perplcxing
problem for the layman-perp!exing as
long as "the law" in the practical sense,
clashes with logic and legal theory and
assails his sense of consistency.

federal prohibition agents had seized
the liquor stores that had been brought

SAINT JOAN"

Everyone knows the story Of the way
Mark Twain started out to write the
life of Joan OF Arc. Here was medi-
aeval legend which would lend itself
to humorous treatment. All the flub-
dub that had surrounded it would go
down before his laughter and his mirth.
But to write this travesty, he must
needs know. intimately and fully, all
the facts. So he went to France and
dug and burrowed into old chronicles
and records. The result was the great
est serious piece of writing Mark Twain
ever did.
But humorist must never be SER
ious. 1t is one of the penalties of his
existence, and one of the ironies that
he, who makes jest of everything, with
in his heart OF hearts, is often a sad,
disillusioned and tragic man. Tn this
half-mad, half-divine figure of the
Maid Of Orleans, Mark Twain recognized
tragic disillusionmcnt and wrote her
story in that spirit; but being humorist,
dedicated to making futile small beings
laugh and be merry, he published the
Life of Joan of Arc anonymously in the
form. of an ancient chronicle OF one who
had fought beside her. Not until years
after was the real authorship known.
Another artist. who has laughed al
the world and with it. and driven shafts
OF cold illuminating wit into its futilitie;
and hypocrisies, has written what has

MAKING WORDS

Some time ago a prize was offered for
the creation OF new word which would
express the well-known performance of
evading or disregardirg the prohibition
laws. "Scofflaw' was awarded the
prize. Now comes a woman from Con-
necticur with her prize offer of a word
by which to indicate the extremist in
prohibition enforcement.
These efforts may be we'll meaning
and diverting and the need for specific
terms to apply to prohibition develop
ments may be acute, but the method of
offering prize for a word is not likely
to gain the best results. Language is
not enlarged by arbitrary means. 1t
grows. Words have roots, traditions,
histories. Their meaning expands and
fluctuates. New words are introduced
rom other languages and incorporated
into the English, bodily, or are angli-
ocized. Discoveries in science carry their
new vocabularies, as do the elaboration
and adaptation of all sorts of changing
ideas. The war added new words - the
language, notable among them "camou-
flage" :nd "barrage" which have already
been divorced from the particular con-
notations Of war and have become in
valuable to express meanings for which
there were before no specific terms.
Slang, too, while apparently an out
law from the rules of language, is law
abiding in its growth. 1t follows the
deeper law of the expression of human
emotions and thoughts. 1t is language
in the raw, in the rough. 1t springs
from the stuff out Of which all language
grows. Someone, in a moment of in
SEPARATION, or intuitive apprehension of
the thoughts Of others, with fresh
combination OF vocal sounds will express
an idea resident in many minds. It will
be so apt and keen, as an intuitive ex-
preston is like to be, that it will spread
as it were, of itself. After time it may
become so firmly imbedded in the Ian,
guage that it is no longer slang.
1t is seen, therefore. that the scheme
of demanding a new word, "off the bat
is a barren procedure. as the word
"scofflaw' already selected goes to
prove. This arbitrary selection may
gain credence for a while on account
of publicity, and whatever word is Sc.
lected in the new contest may 10 the
same, but the poor little abortive things
may be trusted to expire almost before
they have breathed the breath of life
True words are born in their full time
in order that they may live.

sh steamship Adriatic for use of its

ISM steamship AuIldtlC IOI use Oh its
passengers on the return trip tc Europe
Inasmuch as "gentlemcn's agreement
had been made by the United States ard
British governments, whereby the United
States was privileged to make rum
raids" beyond the three-mile zone, and
British ships to bring liquor into Ameri-
can ports under seal. pending ratification
of the ''rum treaty" the raidng of the
Adriatic and other ships seemed to be
a violation of that agreement on this
country's part.
That conclusion appeared logical par
ticularly becauSe no accusations OF SNUG
Cling were made against those ships by
the raiders, who. as everybody knows,
have been rather loose takers, as a rule.
Nearly everybody knows, too. that the
"gentlemcn's agreement" even the treaty
itself. was contrary to the plain import
of the United States Supreme Courts
Interpretation of the prohibition" amend
mcnt that tribunal having said plainly
that the bringing of liquor into Aneri-
can ports, even under seal, constitutes
importation within the meaning of the
organic law of this land.
Then there arc hundreds % thousands
| of Americans who think that the STU
prcme Courts ruling in this case was
without warrant by any rational test
worthy of the consideration OF one who
refuses to put the abstract above The
concrete, the theoretical above the prac-
teal, to accept fiction for fact Or the
shadow for the substance.
Now comes the story Of another raid,
with a different set of details. The Or
drna, of the ROYAL Mail Line. is alleged
to have sold some of her stock of liquor
in the port of New York; the United
States government brought a libel &C
ton to confiscate this ship. According
to the testimony of members of the Or
dumas crew, the allegations were quite
true; this ship. they are reported to have
said, had sold liquor in the. port on her
every trip.
All right, one might say; if these be
statements Of facts, then the Orduna
ought to be confiscated.
Perhaps so. But consider another
phase of the situation, and see low the
plot thickens.
According to one Of the principal wit
nesses for the government member
of the Orduna's crew--one OF the federal
revenue agents who raided the ship had
often, as bootlegger. bought liquor from
her stores. He positively identified as
one of the Ord,ina's liquor customers a
man whom the government was employ
ing to enforce the law which hcc owners
and officers and crew were accused OF
violating.
Now who among the laymen Of this
country can give the correct legal answer
to this entire riddle, unless he forgets
"the law" and goes back to fundamental
legal principles. to logic and to common
sense, and exercises an untainted sense
of consistency.
