Gypsies of Bulgaria
 Serve as Executionefs

SOFIA. Bulgaria, June 1.-The post Of executioner in Bulgaria is vacant.
 Nobody wants 1t.
 When the judges condemn a criminal to death, the prison or ficlals go out on the highways and walt until they see troop of wandering gypsies strollIng along.
 Any of the gypsIes will take the job with a light heart and grate- full Thank you, sir"
 For the gypsies are the execu- tioners of Bulgaria. They came into the limalight in such role in 1925, when a small colony of persons convicted of treason. af- ter the commuhist uprising of that year, were sentenced to death.
 Two gypsies put in a good eight hours n day with the sack and rope. implements of the hang mans trade.
 Since then, although no Bull garan can be found to accept the permanent post of execution CT, the prison wardens have little difficulty getting men to perform the disagreeable duty.

Welshman Found America,
 Megan Lloyd George Told

CARNARVON, Wales, June 13- Every American school cLild is taught that Columbia discovered America, or perhaps Lief Brick son, but Miss Megan Lloyd George, daughter of the former British premier, and herself re gently nominated for parliament, differs with the historians.
 She told the Anglesey Society that Owen Gwynedd, native of Anglesey, discovered the new continent some 300 years before Columbus time. He set out on the uncharted seas to seek his fortune, but had his prospects nipped in the bud when he sailed into a continent instead. Chron- iclers of those days were careless fellows, and neglected to record the details.
 Another Welshman, Goronwy Owen, set out on the same quest some centuries later. His genius was not recognized at home, and he was driven away to America to die. But he left a sheaf Of verses as parting gift to hi native land, which are today con sidered immortal.

 Apparently everyone at last has been convinced that the sound picture has come to stay, for First National has drawn mp an ambi- tious sound-program for the year. including the filming of grand opera, La Tosca." and a musical comedy, "Okeh"; Paramount-Fa- mous-Lasky, FBO, Universal, United Artists and Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer have announced their Intention of going into sound-pro- ductions before autumn; Johnny Hines plans to explore the comic possibilities of soundfilms by giv- ing his next picture, "The Girl Friend" a voice; and others are taking one look at the handwrit- ing on the wall and calling for estimates of sound-picture produc- ton costs.
 What makes all this rather em- barrassing to producers and their casting directors is that hereto fore it has been possible to satis- fy the public demand for youth and new faces with very young and very inexperienced players who were fortunate enough to photograph we'll. Now the voice must be as beautiful as the face; and anyone who has looked at very many beautiful faces knows how seldom the voice matches the face.
 First National plans to meet the emergency with a school of elocu- ton for it's younger players. Stage-trained voices, say those who have been making sound-pic- lures, do not entirely fill the bill. Radio voices would come nearer to satisfying the requirements. In fact the day may come when girls in Iowa or Pennsylvania will break into the movies via their hometown radio station.

Social and Political Union, off cial name of the organization which shortly afterward intro duced the spectacular era of mili. tancy.
 As leader of this union, Mrs. Pankhurst inspired and openly stood sponsor for the series ol violent acts, ranging from arson and the destruction of art treas ures down the petty annoyance of pulling the coat tails of cabinet minister's that formed so large q part of the days news during the height of the militant's activities in 1913-14. She justified all as a means to impress upon an ob- stinate government woman's de- mand for the vote.
 Tried to Die Martyr
 The leacer repeatedly tried to die a martyr 10 her cause by go- ing on "huhger strike" each of the half dozen times she was thrown into English prisons. She held that only a martyrs sacri- flee would convince the govern ment of the earnestness of wo- mans appeal, and so nearly did she sometimes come to dying fror her self-imposed starvation in prison that she was regularly re- leased under the "Cat and Mousse Act after serving only few days of the long terms to which she was sentenced. It was only to renew the battle when she recov- cred her strength.
 The period of militancy under her leadership saw women repeat. edly charging an army of police men in attempts to gain the floor of the House of Commons; there were scattered instances of wo- men who gained the galleries of Parliament and chained them selves there; there were almost innumerable cases of women chaining themselves to seats at political meetings, heckling the speakers and finally breaking up the meetings altogether; the homes of many governmen. sup porters were fired by suffragists, and some public institutions de- stroyed; the slasning of paintings and the destruction of other works of art in the museums be- came so general that many of the institutions were closed for long periods; petitions were thrown i'd the face of the King when he was on parade; acid was poured into the mail boxes hammers were thrown through the windows Of business places and ministers houses; the Kings horse WIS trip ped in the Derby by a suffragette who lost her life in the feat.
 Inspired Cause
 These were only outstanding acts in a long series which taxed both the ingenuity and the daring of the suffragettes.
 Mrs. Pankhhrst approved of Fl all and inspired much of it. But Ter appearance and her personal; habits belied the fighting spirit he displayed. She was slight in stature and at DO was often del scribed as having preserved much of her girlish beauty. Students of her temperament found noth- ing masculine in it. She reyeled in bright colors and flounccs as much as the average woman; she was passionately fond of music and of children, and made the, best jam in England" She de- tended strongly the sanctity of marriage.
 But revolutionary blood was traced back to her grandfather who narrowly escaped being Kill

LISTEN, WORLD
HOw Civilized Are We?
By ELSIE ROBINSON

when you think it over, that's
a pretty good description of most
of our civilization" We talk
very glibly about our progress
and culture, but we're really only
civilized in spurts. The rest of
the time we're as beset by igno-
rance and fear and hate as any
caveman.
And that's true of us nation
ally as we'll as individually. Take
our attitude toward foreigners"
for example. Just what does
much of our 100 per cent Ameri-
canism' amount to? Exactly
what the cave mans 100 per cent
cavemanism amounted to-mur-
derous suspicion and fear of
anything that didn't belong to
his particular tribe. We call 1t
patriotism. Patriotism like that
won't do us any good-it will
only keep us bottled in our tight
little coves of ignorance and in
tolerance.
Many men have died for civil
zation and many men have
achieved it for you. Schools
can't achieve it for you, nor laws,
nor churches, nor money, nor ma
chimes. You alone can achieve
our own civilization. You can
achieve it only by conquering
the ignorance in your own heart.
Until you've done that. you're as
savage as any ape-man.
