Evidence Discovered to
Verify Bible Miracles

London.-M evidence of two
of the most spectacular miracles Of
the Bible has been gathered by Brit
ish psychologists, according to mes
sages from Palestine.
Prof John Garstang, leader of the
Jericho expedition financed by Sir
Charles Marston, has reported that the
collapse af the walls of Jericho be-
fore the Jewish hosts under Joshua
was apparently due to an earthquake.
He based his theory upon the discov-
cry that the walls of the city had fall
en- outward in places in a manner
which suggested seismic disturbances.
The same natural phenomenon ac-
counts for the drying up of the Jordan
for the Jews to cross, he believes. The
expedition, he says, has gathered evil
dence that the clay banks of the river
caved in near Ell Damien at about the
period described In the Bible.
Sir Charles Marston, who has f.
nanced three expeditions to confirm
the authenticity of Bible records, be-
lieves this .naturalistic explanation Of
the miracles really corroborates the
biblical description.

Two Sisters, IS and So,
Meet for First Time

Seminole, Okla.-Two sisters, one
eighty-fve and the other fifty-eight,
born in Russia, met for the first time
in their lives half way around the
world from their birthplace.
The older of the two sisters, Mrs.
Mary Frumhoff of st. Joseph, Mo-,
married at an early age and moved
from her native hamlet in northern
Russia to the Black sea region. The
older sister never returned to the
northern village.
The younger sister, Mrs. Julia Shan
non, San Antonio, Texas, was born in
the same little Russian town after the
older sister had moved away. The
younger sister was married. in her ma
tive village and So years ago moved
to America. Ten years later Mrs.
Frumhoff and her husband emigrated
to America.
Two sons of Mrs. Frumhoff, mer-
chants here, arranged for the reunion.

Thieves Steal Burglar

st. POelten, Austria.-The school for
rookie policemen established at the
local police station will have to be
closed temporarily, at least. The po-
lice department his just established a
school to teach young officers how to
deal with thieves. The equipment of
the school consisted of all kinds of
tools used by burglars, including jim
miles, skeleton keys, etc. The local
bandit gentry learning of the fine
equipment contained in the school en-
tered the police station one night re-

Home-Loving Man
Picks Wrong Home

Portland, Ore.-Emory Davis is a
home-loving sort of person.
Five times since 1926 deputy United
States marshals have taken him away
and federal courts have told him to
stay away. But Emory always returns
with unerring instinct to his lonely log
shack high in the wilds of Umpqua ma
tional forest.
Recently he was taken out for the
fifth time. Federal Judge McNary
sentenced him to six months in Jail,
but paroled him on condition he stayed
out of the government timber preserve,
where he insists on living as squat
ter.
Loran Cochrane, deputy marshal,
who usually draws the job of packing
into the mountains to take Davis out,
half expected to be called on to make
the trip again within few months

Reno, Nev.-Picturesque gatherings
of Piute and Washoe Indians have
been congregating of late on the out
skirts of Carson City to revive the
ancient Indian game of passing the
stick"
Drawn by the colorful scene, hun
dreds of palefaces visit the Indian vii
lagos every day to witness the game.
Passing the stick" is guessing
game peculiar to the redskins of Ne
vada. A stick about three inches long
and of the diameter of a pencil is
used. The contestants form two paral-
lei lines, about three feet from each
other with fifteen to twenty Indian
bucks on side. The leader of each
side is in the center of the line and
the players kneel and fold their arms
over their chests.
Like "Button Button"
Agreement is made as to the side
starting the contest. The leader of
the side taking the offense places the
tiny stick in his right hand, then con-
-ceals both hands behind his back and
rapidly changes the trophy from hand
to hand. Finally he brings both hands
to the front, tightly clinched, and folds
his arms stoically.
The opposing players then guess in
which hand the stick reposes, the first
call deciding the issue. Outlines sew
en- or eight braves will call out the
winning hand, or fail to guess correct
ly. Should the first guess prove right
the stick changes sides, and the lead
er of the opponents has an opportu-
nifty to demonstrate his shuffling abil-
ities
From time to time other Indians
among the players are given the hon.
or of holding the vital stick and en-
deavoring to outguess the other side.
The Indian is aptly termed poker
face" since his expression remains the
same and he gives no hint as to the
sticks whereabouts.
Big Gambling Game.
Points are scored on the basis of
correct guesses, and during an after
noon considerable money changes

England Tries Movies
as Aid to Schooling

London.-An experiment to deter
mine the usefulness of talking pic
lures in education has just been COM
pleted here.
For the last six months pupils In
Is English schools have been receiving
instruction regularly by means of
''talkies." An investigation of the re-
suits obtained is being made by edu-
Gators with the intention of extending
the experiment if proved successful.
The intention of those who spon-
sored the experiment was not to re-
place teachers by "talkies," but to
brighten the regular school work and
stimulate the desire of the school
children for knowledge.
Among the films shown were travel
pictures, films depicting animal life
and films based on great literary
works.

Mr.. Stimson arrived at Naples Tues

These classes, hitherto suppressed,

Russia have discovered that the
brains and skill of the old order are
needed to meet the growing demands

that the plan might
be considered as in effect as of date
of July /.
Briefly summarized, the agreement
provides that debtor governments
shall be relieved of payments due be-
tween July l, 1881. and July l. 1892,
aggregating approximately 500 mil
lions of dollars. Germany will be re-
lieyed of reparations payments to the
former allied and associated govern
ments totaling nearly 400 millions Of
dollars.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Bel
GUM, and other debtors will be re-
lieved of war debt payments approx
mating 400 millions. ~
The greatest sacrifice will be made
by the United States, which will fore
go war debt receipts totaling 260 mil
lions.
Beginning July l, 1888, the deferred
reparations and war debt payments
will be paid in installments during
ten-year period. in addition to the reg
ular current payments. "
Payment by Germany of conditional
reparations totaling 243 millions will
be unreservedly suspended. Germany
will be required. however, to pay the
unconditional reparations. amounting
to $130600,000. with the understand
ing that this amount in full will be
loaned back to Germany.
A loan of about % millions will be
made to Central European countries
if necessary by the federal reserve
banks of the United States and Euro
pean central banks.
The accord reached was entirely
satisfactory to both the Americans
and the French. President Hoover
gained his chief point. the gist of the
whole plan, for Germany does not
have to pay any international debts
for one year. The French statesmen
congratulate themselves because the
accord calls for the moral support of
the signatories in getting private
loan for Frances central European
friends, and lays upon Germany moral
responsibility for not using her mora
torium saving for ornaments.
Foreign Secretary Julius Curtius
and Chancellor Bruening of Germany,
OF course, are pleased beyond express
sion. and the former paid warm trib-
ute to the work accomplished in Paris
by Secretary Mellon. The German
press, however, processes to be dis
gusted with the compromise, several
influential papers declaring that it
wrecks the plan entirely.
In concluding his announcement Of
the agreement, President Hoover
touched on the question of world dis
armament, which he considers the Sec
ond feNture of his program for re-
storing economic prosperity.
HAVING ably seconded Mr.. Hoo
1 1 ver's effort to bring about the
moratorium. the British government
called conference of the powers to
work out the details of the plan. The
premiers and foreign ministers are to
meet in London. and it is expected
Secretary Stimson will participate as
an official observer when he reaches
England.
This conference will meet from time
to time for several months, it is un.
derstood. and may continue to func-
tioI for several years. Before this
body, toward the end of the one year
Hoover moratorium. will come the
question of the capacity of Germany
to continue paying the Young plan
reparations, the question of extending
the Hoover debt holiday another year,
and the question of revising repara-
tons and war debts downward.
