Griffin, 1nd.-In this little hamlet,
torn by the tornado which last

ways leading into the town, covered
the bridge approaches, and even
threatened to carry off the bridge
itself.

submerged and caused temporary
abandonment of the carrying of sup
plies to the town.

along with the medical units, the army
distribution units and other relief
agencies.
From here the rehabilitation work
will be directed, and Mr. Baker said
that the permanent rehabilitation Of
every family affected by the tornado
Will get under way in a few days.

available nurse
Cemeteries Are Crowded.

all of them in desperate need of expert
surgical attention, were taken to st.
Louis on Il special train.

the wind were buried during the day
At the cemetery busy grave diggers
laid aside their picks and spades to
act as pallbearers and the hearse It
self was hurried away for another

; which no actual experience justf-
flies, hyper geometry theorists
find it possible to show, or seem
to show, that there is no proof
of Euchds axiom that parallel
lines can never meet. They at.
tempt to demonstrate this by
affirming what everybody knows
already, viz, that meridians of
longitude apparently parallel at
the equator of globe meet at
the poles. But they themselves
are conscious of the fneptness of
such an illustration. and try to
avoid it by taking refuge be-
hind the essential incompre-
feasibility of their own ideas.
Anyhow. they say, ''if you
lay straight line over globe it
will be curved in one direction;
now give me perfect freedom to
make postulates, without being
hampered by physical proofs, and
will show that there can be no
straight line anywhere, because
space is in its nature curved. If
you dart what you imagine to be
a straight line direct away from
your eye, it must curve around
in the universe. and return to the
back OF your head"
New Laws of Force
Then this hyper-physical math-
ematician seizes with high hand
the freedom he wants, fixes his
postulates to suit himself, alters
them until they gibe together,
and finally triumphantly proceeds
to establish, in an imposing vol
ume whose contents, notwith-
standing their quasi-mathematica
form, are as void of physical
reality as the dreams of the
Arabian Nights" thae the world
and the universe have been SIAN
dered by too materialistic
science, which has tried to make
them accord with reality and com
mon sense.
The assumption of the curved
nature of space lies at the bottom
of Einstein's new definition of
gravitation, according to which
bodies do not fall toward the
earth, but simply follow a line of
least effort, prescribed by the in
an idea might perhaps spontane-
ously take birth in the mind of a
college baseball player who had
been the champion batsman until
he met a pitcher who was still
greater champion.
The principle of least effort. in
explaining the phenomenal facul-
ty Of avoidance possessed by the
flying balls, might lead him to
the discovery" that there was
something crooked in the nature
of the space between him and the
pitcher. Give him all the freedom
of postulating that the "relativ-
lists" demand, and take. and the
dethroned batter might establish
new laws of force and gravitation
in the learned world of the dia-
mond.

You've heard of people "gush-

Five seconds after you're intro

between your twin souls. In ten

you're installed as her Most Init

after don't live up to the part,
may the saints protect you!
Does she really mean it? Yes,

way. Her quiVering heart just
naturally gloms on to any human
that happens her way. And she's
perfectly sincere in her protesta-
tons of admiration and affection.

pup is of fleas, but to Gertie
you're the human miracle.

He loved much that he overlooked the ordinary bonds
Of affection He loved the birds the trees the and
what he called "Our sister Death
As far is known he the mghest lover that the

He exempied that strange power there is in affection
Although mild love is the toughest thing in the
world and will ouve all kinds of hate Suppressed n~one

Looking at the almighty power of love- it is well to say
that God love- that is that love is His very
The absence of love the first thing to be suggested by
the cynic and is the most fateful of disbeliefs.
There doubt that the world would be better if
