 Mr. Mencken recently suggested that the citizens of Tennessee and some other states be converted to the rcricion of Mohlmmcd so as to acquire moro culture. His diatribcs about the abyamal ignorance' Of the "yoEHry" and "hoobery' of the districts west of narrow fringe along tho Atlantic coast are nearly world famous.
 When Mr. Ncnckcn got to Dayton ho received unbouudcd attention and was given inc courteous glad hand from III sides, In fact, he had to .h1hc lands to much during the first day O. his Ny,t that he spent the night in Chgrtanooga in order to be Wpli-'grh.t

THE HOOTERS MERELY ACCEPTED AN INVITE"

Some time ago, when a bank van was robbed in daylight in the cul- tured city of Cambridge. Mass, 1t was suggested to the banks of Bos- ton that they join together to em- rlov armed guards upon the vans. The banks of that city, however, despite their manifest high sur pluses and big balance figures, de- murrcd, possibly upon the score Of expense.
 Yesterday another bank van was footed in Cambridge and $25,0Oo got away from the lawful owners This time the robbers merely drove away with the truck, greatly to the surprise of the lone guard. Some in- sfitutions, despite the proximity Of Harvard, seem 10 have hard time learning elemental facts about pro tccting money.
 The story in tho Herald the day before, relating to new method Of protecting bank vaults in lndiana' whore poison gas was used success fully for the first time, indicates that hcadway is being made against the robbing fraternity. Some 6O hanks in that state have adopted the new method, dispatches indicate. II seems to be a good way for al hanks 10 protect themselves. A bank vault which when opened at tho wrong time releases a copious quan' titv Of gas is nothing for bank rob hers to tackle. To use gas mask would greatly impede the technlc especially with plenty Of armed citi z.nrv about. as they are being or r,n5zcd in western cities

Dr. Baldpate as a Motor Boatcr

All this hulabaloo about racing the Twentieth Century Limited from Albany to New York is too foolish for words,' said Dr. Bald pate, with some slight heat visible on his good-natured face, to Arthur McCombs recently. "Of course it was no race just a dodge to gain publicity, a thing I have always summed.
 q once had a race with Louis Bottomley, of the Rochester Yacht club, that was race. We both had genuine motor boats, not there new tangled planes with bottoms like step-ladders. We raced over a 200 mile course, between Hamilton and Oswego, on Lake Ontario.
 "Bottomley's boat was the Fe- dora, named after an old hat of his. Mine was the Miss Fit III, a ma hogany beauty, equipped with an 800 H. P. Monson motor My rivals power was greater. I relied on one thing to beat him fric- tion. The bottom of my craft was oil and air-cooled. His wasn't,
 Ut was even as I thought. Fedora set off at tremendous pace. At the 100 mile mark he led me by five miles Then l began to overhaul him. Smith was coming up along his gunWale. The l'edora's bottom was afre. Plugging away at 72 miles an hour I led him into Oswego by Is miles But q curious thing hap pened. Though my hull. due 10 my cooling device, had withstood the terrific temperature, it had worn so thin that just as l crossed the fin ish line the bottom dropped out and I had to wade ashore with Miss Fit III, literally, around my waist.
 There was large side bet on the result and had the satisfaction of knowing that although l had lost my bottom Bottomley had lost his bottom dollar"

Synopsis of the Moroccan war for those patrons who can't buy the magazine every month to read all the instalments:
 The pleasure seeking younger gen. eration caused it all A Moroccan tlapper showed her face to a French soldier. The war was hot, It was filled with a continuous succession of deeds of courage. In fact, after a few days in the Sahara, all the sol- diers were full of sand. Yet some wlsecracker called all the fighters "deserters."
 Prisoners were cruelty maltreated. Those taken by the Riff-Raffians were bound in Morocco and burned amid volumes of smoke, as they were booked to be from the start. The French retaliated by torturing their captives; they made them eat French pastry, as well as undergo the further diabolical fate of select ing the pastry themselves.
 The French airplane warfare proved a failure: the Ruffians wouldn't come up and meet them, and they couldn't very well hit men who were down. Rut the French pulled one stroke of genius. They gathered children from the beaches and had them dig the trenches; it's such fun 10 dig in the sand. Moroc- cans used headwork to put them on top and capture Fez. which capped l the climax.
 French then tried dirty work; they poisoned the water for the Riffs horses. Moroecans came back by

not like you, he told you 50. If you
do not believe this, ask Dr. Nance,
who is now in Nashville. He takes his
place now among the departed saints
He lived for his church, and worked
as he thought and saw it. Some
many did not like his methods, but
the only thing left for them was to
stay out of his range or you would get
hit.
d. Chappelle lived while he lived
and he worked while He worked. He

conference. Some liked His ruling and
some did not, but he stood by Ills con-
victions.
