Even Preachers Unsafe.
And the Ministers business is not safe.
Julius Rosenwald. an old friend Of mine,
wanted me to go in some of their Stores
and do a little fancy preaching for 'en1.
They figured the people would buy
something before they got out If it was
nothing but an old Testament. They
figure that they can deliver you your
salvation cheaper than you can get 1t
elsewhere, and a better grade. Big

1 don't know what's going to be done
about 1t. One time the Government
split up the Standard Oil into 81 parts
and in two years each one of the 81
was bigger than the original. So 1t
looked like they Just thrived on being
split I'D, There Is not much you can
do about 1t unless you could change
human nature. Americans are the
greatest people in the world to blow
and want to talk and go to big things.
They wan 30 20 the biggest Hotel, re-
gardless OF service, the biggest Theater,
regardless of performance, the biggest
funeral regardless Of whether they knew
the corpse, and the biggest store to get
ANYTHING, whether its the best or not,
and naturally as the chain Stores are
bigger than most of the others there
is where they hike to. They want to
be seen where there is the most people.
Course hope the Politicians can fix 1t
for my sympathy is naturally with the
little fellow that has struggled along all
these years and give the best he could
for the money. He must have given
pretty good value, for none Of them got
rich. SO that showed he dident cheat
anybody. I don't know what to do

RASPUTIN'S DAUGHTER

Montmartre, France.

Paris. France.-The daughter OF the
monk Rasputin, who welded powerful
influence over the czarlnu Of Russia,
Nine. Marie Solovieva-Rasputin, earns
meager living as a cabaret dancer
In Montmartre.
Since she came to France Win
many thousands of other Russians
after the Red revolution, the daugh-
ter Of Rasputin has experienced many
yicissitudes and has worked in many
humble stations in order to support
herself and her two children.
II consider myself lucky in being
able to dance in the fashionable night
resorts in the bright-light district OF
Paris. where thousands Of Americans
come to amuse themselves" Nine So
lovleva-Rasputln said. II do not care
for the cnbaret, but find 1t easier
to dance than to work us kitchen
hand, as was forced to do not long
after l came here.
In Taxi Smashup.
IT have been logged by the same
sinister influence which fate seemed
to, exercise over my father, because
was recently involved in taxi smash
and was unable to work for time,
and 1t was only because Of gifts from
charitable people that and my two
daughters, seven and five years old,
| hive heen nble to exist"
The daughter of the Russian monk
is intensely religious. At night, after
the bright lights Of Montmartre are
dimmed, she goes to her room and
prays before the ikon, which is one
Of the few legacies she possesses from
her father. The ikon was found near
his body after his assassination
II carry this ikon with me always,
cherishing It as rare memento OF
my unhappy father. Whatever may
have been said about him, my father
was the incarnation of sagacity and
common sense and he was also gifted
with the power Of clairvoyance. Many
times he said: When I am dead the
dynasty will be overthrown.' Three
months after his assassination the
revolution broke out, bathing Russif
in bloodshed and sweeping away sucl
small fortunes as we possessed.
Plans United States Visit.
"AIy father was poor and after hi
death our plight was terrible. My hus

CHILDREN SLAIN IN
BRONZE AGE FOUND
Bones Dug Up in Jericho Prove
Early Sacrifice.

Jericho, Palestine.-.Thc practice OF
child.sacrifice on the site Of Jericho
in the Bronze age was revealed by
inspection of the latest excavations
made here under direction OF tue
British archeologist, Prof. Walter
Garstang.
Tragic aspects of ancient life with
In the walled city before the 1srae-
lite conquest were revealed during
excavation Of the bones Of children
killed SCIENTIFICALLY In the years prior
to Joshua's successful assault on the
city.
The correspondent was accompanied
by Professor Garstung on a visit to
the excavations at old Jericho where
the Sir Charles Marston expedition
has been working some time.
The defensive citadel, twelve feet
thick of exceptional height, was be-
lleved to have been built about 1000
B. G. But the excavations have
changed many previous assumptions
about old Jericho, which was cursed
aud burned by Joshua.
The expedition has discovered that
the earlier city had the largest wall
and that the city began to decline and
lose population, making necessary the
building of smaller and more easily
protected walls In later centuries.
The theory that an earthquake
caused the collapse Of the wall OF
Jericho. will be worked out by the
expedition next, as this seasons
work will end shortly.
The biblical version is that Joshus
was instructed to have his priests
march around the wall seven days
blowing trumpets and then, on thu
seventh day, all the people shouted
with great shout and the wall fel
fiat and they marched in. The inhah
itants Of the besieged city were thel
slain and the city itself burned.

York for the same period costs $45.
One minute after midnight, April J.,
the population of the United States
was estimated to be 122,l86,893, &C
cording to census bureau clock. This
clock shows population changes based
upon the following statistics:
One birth every 10 seconds
One death every % seconds
One immigrant arrives every one and
half minutes.
One emigrant departs every five and
half minutes.
There is a net increase of one person
occurring every % seconds.
OF the 40 states surveyed in the
