French Power Shaken.

London-A message from Jerusalem
to the national political league says
that guerilla warfare has spread over
vast areas in Syria between Damas-
Gus and Mons, 80 miles north Of Da-
mascus on the railroad and is shaking
French conrol of the inundated region.
The message says that II villages
In the Damascus district have Joined
the guerillas, who are besieging four
towns.
Jerusalem reports also say that for
eigners and native women are leaving
Damascus by the thousands, but that
native men are forbidden to leave.
One dispatch reiterates the report that
1,200 prisoners were killed at Damas-
Gus when following revolt in the
prison the French bombarded it.

Market Reaches Record Peak;
Sales Hit 2,801, 600 Shares

New York-Wall street experienced
it's greatest boom stock market in
nearly 10 years. Total sales were
calculated by tabulators at 2,SO1, 800
shares, or $4,000 above the previous
years high established on October 16,
and the largest since the famous
three million share" market which
followed the leak" in President vii.

The averages Of 20 leading railroad
and 20 leading industrial stocks at
tanned the highest levels in history,
with more than 40 individual issues
smashing their previous peak prices
for the year. The advance, however,
was by no means uniform, as several
substantial losses were scattered

Turk Troops In MosuI.

London-A dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Beirut, Syria, says large
bodies of Turkish troops are moving
toward Mosul from Turkey. The
Daily Express has a similar report.
It puts the number of Turks at 5000
and alleges that the French have given
them permission to cross Syria. The
report says Great Britain has pro-
tested to the French government. The
suggestion is that the French COM
manders in Syria are favoring the
Turkish preparations to check British
action against the Mosul boundary.

uHO SAID
Labor conquers
all things"

TT is said that when Homer, the
= great epic poet Of ancient Greece,
was alive he lived in poverty and
Travelled about from place to place
existing on the sparing hospitality of
those who would shelter him for
the sake Of hearing his adventures
related. Years after his death, when
his work began to be properly appreci-
ated, no less than seven cities of
Greece fought for the honor of calling
him a native of their locality. And to
this day it remains a mystery where
the mans real home was located.
Modern knowledge of Homer rests
upon his known works. When he was
born is as much a mystery as where
he was born. Historians agree in fix
ing the year Of his birth sometime be-
tween 1000 and 700 B. c., and his
birthplace somewhere in Greece"
The poets best known works are his
nliad and the Odyssey. The Illiad is
the story Of the siege of Illium, or
Troy, and relates the attempt to res
cue Helen, wife of the king of Sparta,
whom Paris, son of the king of Troy,
had abducted.
The Odyssey concerns itself with
the adventures of Odysseus or Ulysses,
as he is better known, on his way
home from the battle Of Troy and of
his welcome by his faithful wife, Pencil
ope, and the punishment of her pre-
sumptuous suitors.
By all of the great poetry critics of
the world Homer's work is ranked as
among the finest. His memory has
been further kept alive by numerous
busts-all Of which, Of course, are
wholly ideal.-Wayne D. McMurray.

Washington-The Italian debt fund
ing commission reopened with the
American commission the conferences
on a settlement Of the Italian debt to
the United States after an interval OF
several months devoted to study OF
Italy's financial and economic situa-

finance minister, the mission was
ready to get down to its task at once
after taking time only for formal
visits to the state department, the
treasury and probably the White
House. The obligations are placed at
s2,138,543,852 by the treasury.

Butler Must Join Marines.

Washington-President Coolidge de-
clined to extend the leave of Brigadier
General Smedley D. Butler, Of the ma
rine corps, to permit him to continue
to serve after December 81 as head Of
Philadelphia's police department. In
making his decision, the President
turned down requests for an extension
made by Mayor Kendrick, Senator
Pepper of Pennsylvania, and others,
who insisted the picturesque marine
was needed to direct warfare against
lawlessness in Philadelphia.
