VENlZEL0S TO-
FORM CABINET

Athens, July 3.-(F-Eutherios
Venizelos. former premie. and dom
inant factor in the liberal party. has
been entrusted with the formation
of a new cabinet.
Parliament will be dissolved.
President Kondouriotis decided to
call in the former premier when the
Zaimas cabinet resigned after q
crisis concerning measures proposed
by the minister of finance.
Venizelos, as leader of the liberal
party, was strongly oppo7ed to these
financial measures and it was this
opposition which led to the retire
ment of the ministry.
The return Of Eeutherios Veni-
zelos to guide the destinies of
Greece is just another incident in
the dramatic career of this man,
whom President Woodrow Wilson
described as one of the greatest
statesmen in Europe.
When Venizelos left Greece he
said he was done with politics, fin
ished forever with those activities
that were his life from early youth
until age warned him that he must
rest. But when his country needed
him he came back-as he did once

she cannot tell a lie.
So when grave-faced men asked
her in a courtroom full of curious
persons how her s~tepmother, Mrs.

told them a story that ended up in
the falling of Mary's mother, Mrs.
Ada Higgs, to be held for grand jury
investigation on a charge Of con-
spring to poison her successor as
the wife Of Mary's father.
Mary's mother was divorced some
time ago and, when her father re-
married, the little girl went to live
with her stepmother.
Some time after the second mar
riage Of her father, Mrs. Ada Higgs,
81 years old, Mary's mother, who also
had remarked, called the girl TO a
woodshed in the rear of her new
home, Mary testified. Here, the
mother gave her daughter three boxes
Of white powder" and told her to
use a small amount of il in all drinks

to Mary's testimony in court.
A few days after receiving the
white powder" which physicians
declared was a deadly poison, Mary
was sent by Mrs. Josephine Helton,
her stepmother, to get a glass Of
water.
Mary told the court she dipped a
spoon deep into one Of the boxes
and dropped some of the substance
into the glass. in her haste spilling
some. Mrs. Helton became serious

child, and authorities we're told.
Mrs. Helton has forgiven her step

by the national board this year to
enable voters in sparsely settled
districts to reach registration
points.
The board has faced a serious
problem from the first in prevent
ing the intimidation Of registrants.
Both liberal and conservative par
ties have been equally active in at
tempts to "freeze out" the other
side. Hundreds OF complaints Of IN
timidation have been received by
General Mccoy and his assistants,
and they have at once been investi-
gated by American officers Of the
constabulary. Most Of the charges
are trivial, but drastic action has
been necessary in q few cass to
guarantee qualified voters their
rights.
The board has also taken two
steps which are regarded as going
a long way to insure a fair and
peaceful election. II has put Mica

LESSONS FROM LINCOLN

Of all that we can learn from
Abraham Lincoln perhaps the
greatest lesson is the radiant GER
tainty that we can achieve our
dreams regardless of any handi-
a p that may confront IS.
Lacking even the ordinary ad-
vantages of gaining an education,
Lincoln did not lament his unfor-
tunate position in the world, but
accepted as his opportunity the
simple materials God placed in his
hands, and he succeeded with
them.
LincoIn's educational library
was composed Of the Bible and the
dictionary. At one time he was
winter-bound in a hut in the Colo
RADIO Mountains with nothing but
Webster's dictionary for q com
panion. Through the long hours
of the weeks and months he stu
died this dictionary and learned
it's pages by heart. AS his reward
for grasping this simple yet easil,
overlooked opportunity, Lincoln
gained a mastery of words and
power of elOquence that enabled
him to sway the multitudes.
Lincoln's most outstanding char
acteristic was his ability to accept
temporary defeat without discour
agement. When a young man he
was badly defeated in running fol-
the Illinois legislature. He failed
in business and spent II years
paying his worthless partner:
debts. He married a woman who
was a constant burden to him
Entering politics again, he was re
peatedly defeated in running fol
Congress. in getting an appoint
ment to the United States lanC
office, and again as a candidate
for the United States senate. In
1865 he was once more defeated
in running for the Vice Presiden
