FIGHTING OPIUM

7 The Hague, Holland, Feb. 27.- Dispatches from Deli, Sumatra, tell of remarkable cures of the opium habit effected by the American Methodist Mission among the Chinese fishing population there.
 The cure. which is administered internally, takes a fortnight. That the victims are conscious of their vice and only to anxious to be de- livered from it is shown by the fact that the tiny mission hospital is booked up for more than six months ahead, and 1t is declared that 240 patients, most of them complete opium wrecks, have been wholly cured, says the Deli Courant.
 Several localities In the Duh East Indies have petitioned the colonial government to start this American treatment in other places where the habit prevails.

VOLCANIC LAKE TRAIL
Old Prospcctors Discover Crater of !. IVY. Scientific Value.

Seward. Alaska, Feb. 27.--W. R. Smith and Sidney Old, oldtime Alas kans in trayersing the headwaters of the Aniakchak river recently, dis covered 8 volcano of scientific inter- est about 30 miles west of Aniakchak Bay, on the southern. side of the Alaska Peninsula. The crater was named Aniakchak after the river ris- ing within its walls.
 The crater is similar in size and shape to that of Crater Lake, in Ore gon, but differs in having a compara- lively small body of water on it's floor. The rim is circular in outline and has diameter of six miles. A mountain summit that forms the range is from 1000 to 1,500 feet above the bottom of the. crater and is unbroken except for gorge from which the river flows. Within the crater one cinder cone rises 1000 feet above the general level of the floor and there are a number of smaller cones.

Buenos Aires. Feb. 27,--the req son. Argentlnes rank among the best shots in the world. as shown in various international rife con- tests in past years, is that markham ship is obligatory upon every male citizen of Argentina between the ages of IS and 45. This is a part of the Argentine system of compulsory instruction.
 Not all citizens have to serve in the army, it's ranks being recruited by lot, but those chosen may reduce their one year term of service by three-fourths if they take the mark manship course. Those not chosen are obliged to take the course any way.

'TROU. SHALT NOT'
 NOW THOU SHALT
Dr. Guthrie Writes New Version Of Ten Commandments

New York, Feb. 27-A positive version of the ten commandments in which thou shalt" is substituted for thou shalt not" has been writ ten by the Rev. Dr. Norman Guthrie, Episcopal minister. whose church, St. Marks-on-the-B -Bouwerie, has been the scene of ritual dancing by barefoot girls of which Bishop Man ming disapproved.
 Dr. Guthrie's ten commandments are nearly 5000 words long. They are designed, he says, to meet the requirements of modern scientific aa..a spiritual development.
 Thou shalt honor, worship and realize the union with the one im- minent and transcendent God that unifies the universe" says Dr. Guth- rie's code.
 Thou shalt reverently recognize and acknowledge that one, in all forms, however backward and re- pugnant they may be to thee, if those forms are to others sincerely acceptable and the only symbols in- tellectually and emotionally effective for thy fellowmen."
 Subscribers to the decalogue of the rector of St. Marks would not only be permitted to worship graven images if they desired. but they also would be enjoined from interfering with the worship of such idols by others:
 pr. Guthrie's fourth command ment reads:
 Thou shalt make thy conduct !, keep pace with and fully affirm the most recent ascertaiqed knowledge.
 Thou shalt provide and agree with others thereto, for holy places and times.
 As to honoring parents: "Thou shalt give life and foster life writes Dr. Guthrie; 'and honor pas- sionately love and develop person. ality. wheresoever thou seest life evolving, and personality capable of

evolving life"

evolving life"
 And his seventh commandment goes
 "Thou shalt regard the sacredness of all ways whereby God provideth for procreation unto the perfecting of human individuals. Thou shalt strive to make such relation be- tween myself and thy mate indis- soluble and unique. and to establish for thy fellows. this ideal. not by vain, cruel and hypocritical prohibi- tions, defamations and punitive sanc- tions to secular and ecclesiastical nws. but by the sincere. passionate praise of love. of beauty. of harmony which alone can effect the ap- proach to the perfection of breed and type, glorifying God for having made man, male and female"

.LAUDS ES7HONIAN
 TENACITY ANDLAW
M. AVenol League Secretary, Pays Tribute to People

Ileval, Esthonia, Feb. 27.--Warm tribute to the tenacity patriotism and twill to law and order" which inspired the Esthonian people to build a state in such short time. Esthonia has had but four years of peace, was paid by M. Avenol. dep uty geperal-secretary of the League Of Nations who has just left Reval at the head of special economic committee which visited .Esthonia in behalf of the league.
 T NJ. Avenol also praised the meth- ods that enabled Esthonia. without foreign credits or assistance. to put her financial house in established order and to pass through the seri- ous crisis of 1923 unscathed. Es- thonia he said, had adapted the old adage Help myself. then Provi- dence will help Thee" into Help myself, then the great flnancers of the world will also be willing to help"
 An interesting glimpse of Esthon- ian aims and ideals is given in an interview with Karl Pusta, the for eign minister. Having ourselves lived so long under the oppression of foreign rule it has been easy for us to fall in with the principles laid down by the late President Wilson as to the minorities living in our country" tho minister said. "Of our own free will we have embodied in our constitution various safeguards for the minorities; they have even the right to speak their own lan- guages in parliament, and German and Russian deputies already have ayailed themselves of this privilege. Tn spite of the 200 years we lived under their rule, we never mixed with the Russians; their mentality was always foreign to ours. We hope to be good neighbors with them, but our intimate family life we have reserved for the nations of onr own race and culture, the Fin nish, Latvian, Polish and we hope in time, the Lithuanian. I firmly believe that small nation like ours should unite with other smaller countries, not necessarily in a .poli- tical sense, but in cultural and eco- homie cooperation.
 Let me say" MT. Pusta declared in conclusion that none of the Ball. tic states has any aggressive. policy in the back of her mind. We are essentially group working for peace. On the other hand, I feel sure that should any of the friendly Baltic states be attacked without provocation by some other power, the rest of us would join in her de- fcnse."

A Real Fine Prospect

+ TN THE recent past the United States
senate was looked upon as body of
nice old millionaires, corporation lawyers
and representatives of the predatory
trusts, a number of members actually
being directors of such concerns. 1t was
called THE American House of Lords"
with good reason, and courageous, indie
pendent, patriotic action was rarely eX-
pected of it.
There has been a change in the consti-
tuition OF the senate and in the public esti-
mate of 1t. 1t appears that the senate
will no longer always swallow anything in
the way of party expediency that is
handed it; that it is disposed to maintain
its constitutional prerogatives, even in
defiance of the administration that ii is
f.. TO be something of safeguard for the
people against the ravenous elements of
organized money; that even an overbear-
ing house majority cannot perpetrate
whatever 1t designs. Right or wrong as
/. to the man, personally, the senate showed
courage, independence and patriotism in
(, the Warren matter and it showed sense
and desire of national progress in promptly
confirming the presidents unobjectionable
nomination for attorney general
There is great hope in the situation and
it will, very likely, be improved upon by
the senatorial selections of next year.
In period when the supreme bench is
dominated by majority that always sees
property rights first and when nearly
!. S5,000,000 of corporation money has been
spent in electing chief of the executive
!. department precious are the hopes and
prospects that the country is to have at
least part of one branch of government
that is inclined to stick up for the propo-
sition that government should be of, by
and for the people.
Within less than three days the senate
has shown that it is able and willing to
stand up for the country when convinced
that the president has made dangerous
mistake and to support him, promptly and
unanimously, when he is in the right. 1t
is altogether fine.

for anybody to accuse them Of being good.
They admit it.
Human nature appears to be so consti-
tuted that those who are good and admit
1t are never satisfied merely TO be good
themselves They get more Of a kick out
of making others be good.
So when this gathering of the good was
pulled off in Washington recently there
was more or less disturbance in the minds
of those who smoke cigars, pipes and
cigarets, MS well MS among those WHO chew
tobacco.
The more timid among them even began
to wonder whether when prohibition took
another turn of the wheel and outlawed
tobacco friendly bootleggers would come
to the rescue and make it possible for
them to continue sending their troubles
up in smoke.
Hence the sigh of relief in the cheer
ing announcement that the new attorney
general chews tobacco and therefore must
be friend of the cause.
OF course Attorney General Sargent
isn't congressman and can't vote as he
chews, but still there is some hope in the
possibility that he might temper justice
with mercy if congress should outlaw
tobacco and make smoking and chew
ing a criminal offense.
Even if ii be true that Attorney Gen
eral Sargent is n hard-boiled reactionary
Vermont republican, that doesn't neces-
sarily mean that he won't have n soft
boiled heart when it comes to dealing with
criminal users of the weed.

When he Looks Small

MAN cannot conquer he can but COM
lNl bat and adapt to his purposes the
elements, ali of which are good servants
but poor masters, and, every time there
occurs disaster, such MS that which has
lust come upon the Middle-West, his real
impuissance appears. Progress he has in-
dubitabiy made in safety devices against
fire, flood and electricity. He builds, to n
meager extent, against earthquake and

elements RACES, his mightiest efforts tum-
ible or are blown away and all he can do
lis to bury his dead and build anew. like
n swarm of ants whose nest has been de-
