NOT ENVIABlE JOB

A scientific expedition sent to dig
and explore in the Eocene beds of
Mongolia report great quantities of
relics from a dim past. These are
| said to include 40 dinosaur eggs,
evidence of extensive late Paleolithic
human culture and pre- Mongol
human skeletons.
While this has been going on the
anti evolutionists of Tennessee have
been engaged in protecting the
school children of Dayton by firing
Scopes and, after prolonged tests
in fundamentalism choosing as his
successor Raleigh Reece, a news
paper reporter. who once had been a
school teacher and is now to train
the youthful minds of Dayton in
fundamentalistic science, also in
foot ball. He stands some chance of
being a good foot ball coach if he
may find the time. But what with
his arduous duties as protector of
the youth of Dayton, subduing his
instincts as reporter OIL idct NS
will be tolerably busy.
AS an old newspaper worker he
| will find it difficult to smother in
terest in these newspaper accounts
of discoveries in Asia, showing that
| life existed on this planet longer ago
! than the date set by the anti
evolutionists. But he must keep all
such information from his classes IN
science, 1t would seem.
Dietitians tell us that ricketts, are
caused by lack of proper physicai
nourishment; this suggests that IN
n1a.sant effects may be caused by
lack of proper mental nourishment'
Anyhow there are those who do not
envy Reece on account of his JOB!

Piles Go Quick
without salves or Cutting


Thousands who have piles have not
learned that quick and permanent re-
lief can only be accomplished with in

the cause.
Bad circulation causes piles. There
Is complete stagnation of blood in

And vet I keep my trysting
In the department stores;

At the revolving doors.

And yet it's wholly true

My Emma, pushing through.

And twirling through the door!

Ex-Quartermaster
General Files Charges
Against His Successor

Washington, Sept. 1S-(AP)-For-
NAL chrages have been filed at the
War department against Maj. Gen.
William II. Hart. the quartermaster
general, by his predecessor. Major
Gen. Harry L. Rogers, retired.
The allegations revolve around the
conduct of General Hart prior to and
in connection with his appointment
to succeed General Rogers. War de-
partment officials declined today TO
go beyond admitting that the charges
had been received from General Rog-
ers.t They did not indicate what
steps had been taken to investigate
the charges.
The case is a further development
in the controversy which ragged about
the quartermaster generals office in
the last days of General Rogers in
cumbency. He retired from active
service in August 1922 for disability
incurred in line of duty.
General Rogers was chief quarter
master of the American Expedition
airy forces in France from July 1917
to February 1919. When he returned
to duty in Washington, he was APP
pointed quartermaster general.
His charges against General Hart
are before the inspector general, hav-
ing reached the War department last
Wednesday. Pending inquiry, Off
Gals will withhold comment.
General Hart was selected by Sec
rotary Weeks to succeed General
Rogers as quartermaster general.
He was then a colonel in charge of
the quartermaster intermediate de-
pot in New York and was general
superintendent of the army transport
service out of that port.
In announcing his appointment
Secretary Weeks said he had been
selected mot only because of the
high efficiency displayed by his dur
ing and since the World war, but be-
cause of the uniform excellence Of
his entire service as an officer in the
army and his familiarity with details
and functions of the quartermaster
corps"
