Aid for Armenian Refugees

DR.. Fritjof hansen. famous Arctic
explorer and peace champion. has
just completed survey of Russian
Armenia, where he has been cooper
ating with the Near East relief In
studying plans for colonizing 100000
Armenian refugees there.
AS high commissioner of the League
Of Nations, Doctor hansen hopes to
find homes for $4,000 Armenian refu
gees now in Greece, 5000 in CONSTANT
nople, and $4,000 strewn over Other
countries of Europe and the Near
East. His report shows that COLOMBIA
ton will have to be preceded by large
scale irrigation projects in order to
make arid lands available for cotton
and grain.
Restoration Of this land, says Doc
tor Nansen, will mean final solution
of the Armenian refugee problem. The
capital required for the purpose is d
serious obstacle, as it will run into
several million dollars. The Nansen
project, according to official opinion
will have to be started on a small
scale.

Beetles Eat House

Beetles have practically destroyed a
large vicarage at Genthin in the Mark.
according to a Berlin dispatch. The
first of these insects, called brass
Beetles" entered the vicarage a few
years ago, and proceeded to work like
knife blades on clothing and bedding,
carpets and curtains. The insects mul
tiplied rapidly and penetrated walls.
floors, plumbing and cellars. The hu
man Inhabitants fought with all the
weapons they could think Of but to no
avail. Now it has been decided that
the vicarage must be burned in order
to prevent the plague from spreading
to other dwellings. The National Bio
logical institute will superintend the
burning in order to study the behavior
of the insects.

Bad Bargain for Railroad

A young mans courtship is costing
the Ludlow (Vt.) railroad $25.4S
week. according to engineers esti-
mates. It's like this: youthful
swain in Proctorsville is counting a
young woman in Ludlow. He signals
the express at Proctorsville to take
him to Ludlow. paying a round trip
fare of SO cents Returning to Proc
torsville he signals another express
train. The cost of stopping the two
trains and starting them again costs
about 81 each night. according to the
engineers. so that though the railroad
receives $3.50 a week from the young
man in fares, it pays out 500 week
for stopping it's express trains.

Apples Need Pure Air

We are told that apples, like men,
breathe. They take in oxygen and
give off carbon dioxide. If there Is in
sufficient ventilation in the storage
rooms they get suffocated and die of
brown heart. Since scientists made
the discovery there has been a revolu-
ton in shipping ventilation, and.
though a quarter Of million pounds
was lost through brown heart only
three years ago, this year it is re-
garded almost as curiosity. The
new instrument which records the at
mostphere OF storage chambers by a
chemical process will make the deli
cate work Of adjusting the ventilation
very much simpler matter.

Bolshevisn, Has Taken
Firm Hold on Tarfdys

One does not have to be in the
Crimea very long to see that Bolshe-
vism has revolutionized the life of the
Tartars who inhabit the peninsula
Like all Moslems. the Tartar women
were wont to wear thick wells on the
rare occasions when they showed
themselves in public and at all other
times to remain In the rear or WON
ems room Of the house.
Now all this has changed Tartar
women appear on the streets with not
even head covering. They are go
ing into the factories and offices. a
thing which would have been quite I'M
possible before 1917. They attend
open meetings. participate in discus
sions and frequently become members
of the soviets.
Before the war most Tartars in the.
Crimea lived in houses the outside
walls of which never had any win
dows. For God forbid that a strange
male should peep in through the pane
and catch a glimpse Of the haren
beauty within. But today Tartars are
moving into Russian homes construct
ed in the ordinary fashion. This is
true even in the smaller towns and
villages. whittier new forces penetrate
only slowly.
The Tartars one engages in CONVEX
SatiOn all complain that the strength
of their religion is diminishing. The
youth no longer attends mosque serv
Ices and is becoming more and more
. weaned from the teachings of Islam
In the Moslem parts of Russia the
Communists are cautious in conduct
ing their atheistic propaganda. fear
ing to offend the suscepubilities Of the
| fanatic faithful
Even the edict to close all religious
schools was not applied with that 100
per cent thoroughness which marked
| it's application elsewhere. Neverthe
less the buoyant spirit of the revolu
ton has weaned the younger genera
tion Of Tartars away from the mosque
and metresse and Koran. Lenin has
taken the place of Mohammed as their
prophet and Marks Capital is com,

Attempted to Kick 1t Loose.

where an ambulance was called and
he was brought to hospital.
An examination of Campbell's
wounds at the hospital showed that his
right knee. ankle and heel had been
badly bitten and that his left foot was
almost bitten through.
Mr.. Campbell, with A. J. Cook, S. e.
Ahlbeck and two small girls, one his
daughter, had gone out to Big Cypress
creek to fish. Campbell left the party
to go over to the pool to catch some
minnows for bait and within a few
minutes after his departure other
members of the party heard his
screams. Hurrying over to the pool
they saw Campbell disappear from
sight and when he came to the sur
face the second time the two men in
the party grabbed Campbell by one of
his arms and pulled him out Of the
water.
Dynamite Kills Reptile.
Campbell said that he never did see
the alligator but that he could tell it
was gator when his foot came in
contact with him.
Later in the afternoon a party went
out to the pool where Campbell was
bitten to get the alligator. A charge
of dynamite dislodged the gator, and
he was brought out on the bank Of the
pool dead.
