WALES UNDER KNIFE
FOR TROUBLE IN EAR
Prince Undergoes Slight Operation
to Relieve Pain and Is Re-
ported Recovering.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 29.-The Prince Of
Wales early today underwent what is
termed a slight operation to relieve
him Of pain due to an abscess in his
ear, superinduced by an attack of in
fluenza.
Announcement that the operation
had been perfo"' 4 in St. James
palace was con Il in a bulletin
posted at PAS am. 1t was signed by
four physicians, among them DR.. Ar
thur H. Cheatle. lecturer on aural
surgery at Kings College Hospital.
The bulletin said:
III. r. H., the Prince Of Wales had
a return of the pain in the ear. the
condition being Il sequel to the in
fluenZa. 1t was accordingly decided
that a small operation to incise the
drum was necessary. This has been
done and relief has followed"
So accustomed is the public to re-
gard Wales as the embodiment of
physical health and vigor that the
announcement that he was laid up
from an operation came as something
of shock.
The secrecy which formerly was
preserved regarding illness among
members of the royal family has been
abandoned of late years and the policy
adopted of taking the public into con-
fidence. partly with view to averting
exaggerated gossip.
During the forenoon the following
official information2 was given out at
st. James Palace:
"The Prince is making good prog
ress. He had some sleep and he has
no pain"

WAN TRIAL DATE SOUGHT
Gordon Indicates Case Will Not

United States Attorney Gordon
again announced today that no date
has been set for the third trial of
Ziang Sun Wan. the Chinese student,
charged with the murder of Ben Sen
WI, an undersecretary of the Chinese
educational mission in January, 1919.
AS soon AS he can arrange with At
torney Wilton J. Lambert, represent
ing the prisoner, Maj Gordon said, he
would ask Judge Stafford to set a date
for the trial. The case is still on the
calendar of Criminal Division .. the
prosecutor stated, and any transfer to
another division or to some other jus
tice would have to be made by Justice
Stafford.
AS the new trial jury will not be
empanelled until April 6, and the
court will not resume jury trials after
the Easter recess until April IL, it is
considered unlikely that date earlier
than April 10 will be agreed upon be.
tween counsel and the court.

Because it's hard to explain the of the limp to

"IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE
THAN TO RECEIVE

We have long heard that "The gift without the CIV
is bare" and it is it has been.
1t is not always the expensive present which brings
the greatest glow of joy the heart No! 1t is the
gift which carries with it message of love and good
fellowship.
A Christmas card may bear a greater gift of
Christs spirit than expensive gift. But it won't if
it be sent simpy to "save your face"
A good resolve would be for many people to refrain
from giving anything to those they cannot honestly
say they esteem. Don't send Christmas cards and gifts
those you do love and appreciate 1t is act of
hypocracy. Be honest-devote your giving to those
who deserve it, AND DON'T EXPECT A BETTER
GIFT IN RETURN! You deceitful if you do!

A GOOD CHRISTMAS PRESENT

There is better Christmas present than re-
ceipted bill That's present you give yourself, and
it will give you pleasure than doo-dab from
a friend
But nobody wants to pay bills before Christmas.
They want to keep their money to spend for Christmas
cheer. But if everyone paid his bills it would enable
those he paid to pay their bills, and it would go
first around the circle that the people who owed the
man could pay him in turn. That would be REAL
CHRISTMAS CHEERl
People owe you money just you owe money to
Others The thing works both And it may be that
the other fellow can't pay you because he can't get
money due him by somebody else That somebody else

stop to think of that?

Originally all the sial rising up from
the sima collected in one place on earth's
surface, just as all floating masses have
a tendency to con%gregate. At that time
all the visible land formed one immense
super. continent. Here life originated
in all its myriad forms both animal and
began to break up, to be pulled apart.
What did it? The same forces that
are pulling North and South America
Westward. These forces, largely, are
those which create the tides on our seas
the gravitatiOnal attraction Of the sun
and the moon.
For some reason not clearly understood
as yet, the parts of that super.continent
which we now call Europe. Asia and A
frica were more firmly set in the plastic
mass of the sima. Or it may have been
the sima beneath them was less plastic
than beneath the other parts. At any
rate, they were able to resist more
strongly that Westward pull of our lumi-
narieS.
But for millions Of years upon millions
Of years that steady, patient pull of sun
and moon continued. The super,conti-
nent began to break up. A s%tupendous
crack appeared along its westward and
southwark portions.
This crack slowly widened. 1t was as
though gigantic hands in sun and moon
had thrust hooks into the more movable
land masses and were dragging them a.
way from the parent body as men thrust
hooks into the asphalt blocks and drag
them away from the stubborn parent
sheet.

World!
And that is WHY at this day according
to the Wpgener theory, outlines of the
land masses uGon the opposite sides Of
the Atlantic match. They are only the
edges of that immensely ancient crack
in the super continent.
Bot in its turn The detached mass be-
gan to bleak up. The blocks of the sial
struck more resistant portions Of the
plastic sima. Thus Antarctica, Austria
liza, New Zealand. New Guinea were left
behind in the westward drift, struck in
the terrestrial pitch. Greenland broke
away from Labrador and was left behind
for q time. Now something has hap
pened under Greenland and tits moving
forward faster than north and South A
merica-comiDg toward US at the compa-
ratively prodiqious speed of from sixty
to a hundred and twenty feet a year.
On the other hand the drift of the New
World has slowed up, When it started
away, hack in the steaming days of the
Carboniferous Age. its western coast was
not at all as it is today. When it struck
what is the Pacific Ocean the sima there
put up a stiff resistance to its progress.
Out of this resistance was born the
Rocky Mountains and the Andean Chain,
The edge of the moving continents,
meeting this resistance, did what any
other material does under the same cir
cumstances. 1t crumpIed up. That
crumpDing is the mountain chains along
the western coasts of both American
continents.
Such is Professor Wegener's theory.
Geological study. he points out and in
this he is uncOntradicted by other men Of
science, shows that the surfaces of the
continents move forward in the form of
tidal waves although infinitely slower
than those of water. This is shown most
clearly by the shape and geological his
tory Of all great mountain ranges. Their
peaks always point somewhat toward the
West, just as the crests of waves point
in the direction Of their motion. Also
there is clear evidence that the Himalay-
as, Alps and Andes have moved west
ward in past INES.
Another curious evidence of the drift
ing apart of the New and Old Worlds is
found in the breeding habits Of the COM
mon eel of North America and Europe.
These cells are precisely of the same spe-
cies; they cannot be told apart. Yet the
young of the American variety take only
one year to reach maturity while the Eu-
ropean variety take three. And the rea-
son for this is that it takes the European
eel three years to get from the place
where it was born to the security of riv-
ers and streams of the main land while

Morgan Objects
to Misstatements

Congressman William M. Morgan,
who has nothing in his official rec
ord of which he is ashamed or which
he desires hidden from his constitu-
ents, does not think he is getting a
square deal in some of the prediction
statements made by his political OPP
ponents.
One allegation recently made at a
political meeting, that he failed to
vote against an increase of his own
salary of $1,000, is emphaticaliy de-
MED by Mr.. Morgan, who claims he
was opposed to the measure a1d his
vote will prove it.
Like majority of members he was
not present at every roll call, many
absences being due to his attendance
at committee meetings. Mr.. Morgan
is a member of one of the ten I'M
portant congressional committees, an
honor seldom accorded to one so
young in house membership as he.
These meetings he considered import
ant and was punctual ine his attend
ance. The chairman of this commit
tee, as is customary with all import
ant committees, secured excuses for
his committeeman in order that they
might extend proper courtesies to
witnesses coming from great dis
tances, and thereby save the members
from answering roll calls made in or
der that some member may deliver
speech for home consumption and 9TH
er unimportant matters.
These are but two of the charges
made against our present congress
man, neither of which are justified
by actual facts. Others equally. de-
void of firm foundation have been
propigated, and it is to this style of
propaganda to which Mr.. Morgan OBJ
iects.
