PROTEST TERROR IN CHILE

NEW YORK.-A protest movement
against the fascist terror launched
in Chile by Davila's military Junta
is being fostered here. Several or
CARNATIONS are being called upon to
join the movement by adopting pro-
test resolutions.
Fierce protests were already voiced
by many of these organizations which
pledge themselves to support the
fight of the Chilean masses and to
demand that Hoover keep American
warships out of Chile.

7-hour working day. In the seaports
our longshoremen are already work

All over the U.SS.R. we have a
six-day week. Our day of rest comes
not after six working days, as it is
in all the capitalist world, but after
the five days. If we have to work
in our rest days, then it is paid in
double extent. Once in year we
get leave of absence. For the ma
chine crew such leave of absence is
given for one month, and for the
deck crew for two weeks. The ad-
ministrative staff enjoys the same
rights as the whole crew.
In the winter period of time, if
the ship don't swine, the crew is how
ever not dismissed, but continues to
work on repair work and gets its
whole salary. Sometimes our sea-
men earn in the winter even more
than in summer, according to the
performed work.

Goat Ranked Above Cow
in Mountainous Lands

Although they keep themselves dis
tinct and appear to affect disdain one
for the other, sheep and goats are, and
apparently always have been pastured
together, the goats eating the brush
and roughage which the more tender
mouthed sheep will not touch.
In rough, rocky mountainous dis
tricts as is a great part of the land OF
Canaan, the goat Is a more serviceable
animal than the COW, more agile and
wonderfully sure footed, content TO
wander about and pick a mouthful
here and there, able to live without
much more moisture than the heavy
dews supply, long-lived, and generally
free from sickness, especially from
contagious diseases. They thrive best
In the higher attitudes, and the wild
varieties which existed until compare
lively recent days in Syria and about
the Palestinlan Lebanon, are always
sought on mountain tops. As the Psalm
list says: 1.-THE high hills are refuge
for the wild goats" It Is worth no
ticing that among all his riches OF
focks and herds, Job counted no goats,
as was to be expected, since he lived
on an Arabian plain where was abun-
dant pasturage for his fourteen thou
sand sheep and six thousand camels,
and thousand yoke Of oxen, and a
thousand she asses" (Job 29:12) as
well doubtless as immense numbers
of cows. 8f .as

Modern Detective Not
"SIeuth" of Old Times

When did detectives finally discard
the black mustache? We observe that
detective fiction, at least, with which
the book market is flooded, has quite
withdrawn from the black and scowl-
ing sleuth with his all too visible trap
pings Of the chase. The truth is, 1t
was the melodrama more markedly
than the novel that so pictured the
pursuers of the transgressor.
The best detectives, we learn, are
those whom nobody suspects of 'de-
tecting." 1t is your mild-mannered
man, often of fair hair and guileless
eye, who leads the wicked, step by
step, into the trap of the law. This
detecting" is a gift, bestowed for the
good Of mankind. Its possessor learns
his powers little by little and is pos
sessed by them. Combined of intuition
and an uncanny suspicion, the ferret
ing sees its hypothesis grow into stern
facts. Such detective is as clever In
constructing the plot of crime as the
scientist is in creating the whole pre-
historic animal out Of a single leg
bone. Plato's logic, splitting hairs, is
as nothing TO it.-St. Louis Globe-Dem::,
ocrat.

Great Things Hoped of
Exploration in Mexico

Egyptology carries its deyotees back
to a profound antiquity In comparison
with which all the remains of Mexico
seem almost modern. But Egyptian
history is known and written while
not only the history but also the
ethnology Of early Mexico remain mys-
teries. For example, the ouiche of
Guatemala and the Maya of Yucatan,
whose great temples and cities may
appear similar to the unlnItlated,
were In reality distinct peoples, and
they both had languages which seem
wholly unrelated to the language of
the Aztecs Of Mexico. It is not wide
Of the mark to assert that f'Mexicol-
ogy," If such a word may be coined,
is still in its infancy despite the re-
markable discoveries and erudite stu
dies Of the savants.
The gold-greedy Spanish conauerors
were ever searching for Ell Dorado,
the city Of gold. There were plenty

German Folk Festivals rst

Many q tradition and ancient observ-
ance have succumbed TO the frantic
speed and insatiety Of an increasingly
materialistic age, but one still finds In
Germany folk festivals that 90 back
many centuries for their beginnings.
This Is especially true Of religious fes-
tIvals-like that Of Oberammergau-
in Bavaria, and other parts of the
country where the population is pre-
dominantly Roman Catholic. In some
instances, despite the march Of secular
and sordid trends, these archaic cele-
brations are perhaps more affection
ately observed than ever before.
The "Leonhardtritt," or procession
Of st. Leonard, which takes place In
parts of Bavaria every November, Is
one Of the most popular Of these old
anniversaries The most notable fes-
tival in honor of this saint is held an
nually at Bad Toelz, spa renowned
for its iodine springs, where thou
sands Of sufferers from goiter and
sclerosis seek relief. This famous re-
sort Is in the center Of a rich farm
ing and grazing country, and as st.
Leonard has been the patron Of cattle
and other live stock ever since the
Seventeenth century, 1t seems only be-
lifting that his day should be specially
honored here. In these ceremonies
numbers of domestic animals, espe-
cially horses, are included, moving in
columns around the churches, In hum

tector. Dancing and feasting on the
part Of the villagers generally end the

Syrian Goa, rmmortalized

The common goat of Syria and
Palestine, which is probably a sim
liar animal to those tended by Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob, stands on longer
legs than some other varieties, but its
hair in some cases reaches almost to
the ground. 1t has curiously long
dropping lop-ears of about a foot long,
which give 1t a strange uncanny ap-
pearance, and is nearly always Of
black color. "Thy hair is as a flock
of goats that appear from Mount
Gilead," sang the writer Of the Song Of
Solomon to his beloved one, (Song Of
Solomon ". y from which we gather
that, like the daughters of Erin,

BENJAMIN Franklin Has czFI
High Place IN History

The passing of generations has NOT
dwarfed Benjamin Franklin. BE
seems to tower more and more over
his contemporaries as the perspective
Of history lengthens.
This Is hardly because Franklin
brought the lightning down from the
sky, or because he collected data ON
waterspouts and earthquakes. or de-
vised a remedy for smoking chimneys,
or invented bifocal spectaeles, or made
a clock, or had more than an average
knowledge Of medicine.
Nor is It due to his political serv-
ices. great as they we're; nor to his
publishing and printing activities; nor
to his having signed the Declaration Of
Independence.
he was the first "civIlized" public
man in America. That accounts for
his ever-growing fame.
It was the many-sidedness Of Frank
lin, along with his humanity and his
magnetism, that has projected the
greatness Of him down to the present
time. In his era the man was mod
ERNST. There was nothing reactionary
in his makeup and yet he was never
a radical.
Benjamin Franklin's enduring fame
rests upon the fact that he was far
in advance Of his day and generation.
He would not be lost in this modern
world, nor be bewildered by it. 1t Is
in the many ways in which he differed
from his contemporaries rather than In
his kinship with them that he stands
out from his time.-Asbury Park IN.

Famous Bank Vaults

Specially constructed vaults have
been provided to house the gold re-
serve Of France. These vaults are in
big chamber, covering two and
half acres, 200 feet below the earth's
surface. Above the ceiling Is first 40
feet Of water and then 80 feet of solid
rock. This safety deposit was built
since the World war. A place was
planned which would not only be safe
from bombs but where the bank force
guarding 1t would be safe from gas
attack. A supply of fresh air is drawn
into the vault chamber through a Sc
cret source. The fact Of the vaults
being under water is explained as re-
sultlng from the flow of a river be-
meath the city of Paris. This was dis
covered when the opera house was
built, just before the War Of 1870.

: Tribute to Horra Collar

The humble horse collar is glorifed
in a scholarly tome written by Lee
febvre des Nouettes. It is entitled
THE Horse Through the Ages" NJ.
des Nouettes, who is noted In France
for his RESEARCH work, contends that
the wide spread slavery of ancient
and medieval times was due to the
fact that there was no horse collar.
Since there were no methods in those
days Of Harvesting horse properly to
load so that it would not choke,
human beasts of burden had to be
utilized. Although the genius who
invented the horse collar is not known,
M. des Nouettes finds that 1t came into
use between $50 and 1000 A. D., which
marked the advent Of the Capetian
monarchy In France.

"Hol;usss Church"

About 1880 three clergymen, Rev.
Hardin Wallace, Rev. James Singer,
both of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and Henry Ashcroft of the
Free Methodist church, conducted a
tour of the southern part of California,
preaching repentance and remission Of
sin or justification by faith Of the sin
ner, and for believers sanctification or
heart purity, which also might be re-
celyed by faith, subsequent to regen-
Grafton or justification, and which
could be advanced into personal holi-
ness Numerous bands of adherents
were formed under the name of Holt
ness Band, the members of which,
however, retained their membership
with the churches of which they were
already members. There were also
many new converts. By 1896 the
movement had grown large and prop
erty had been acquired, so that incOr-
poration was necessary and was eff
fected under the laws Of California.

Ancient Ethiopia and
ERypk Under One Ruler

The country known today a. ancient
Ethiopia, was known TO the Greeks
and Romans Of that time as Aethiopia
and to the Hebrews as Cush. Il lay
to the south of Egypt and in Its most
extended sense 1t embraced modern
Nubia, SEMINAR, Kordofan and north
crn Abyssinia that IL about the region
now known as the Sudan and northern
AbyssinIa. The northern boundary Of
Ethiopia was the southern boundary Of
Egypt, and It IL indicated In Ezekiel
9:10, where Syene is mentioned as
marking the border. The Hebrews DO
not appear to have had much practical
acquaintance with Ethiopia itself,
though the Ethiopians were well
known to them through their inter-
course with Egypt. The inhabitants
of Ethiopia were a Hamitic. or as one
might say. an African or negro race,
and were divided into various tribes
Of which the most powerful were the
Sabaeans. The history Of Ethiopia is
closely interviewer with that Of Egypt.
The two countries were not infrequent-
ly united under the rule Of the same
sovereign. Shortly before the birth Of
our Lord a native dynasty Of females,
holding the official title Of Candaee,
held sway in Ethiopia, and even re-
sisted the advance Of the Roman arms.
One Of these queens is noticed in Acts
1927. The latter part Of this chapter,
beginning at verse 26, tells the beau
tiful story of Philip coming upon the
man Of Ethiopia journeying unto
GOA, which Is desert" The traveller
was -of great authority under Candae,
queen Of the Ethiopians, who had the
charge Of all her treasure, and had
come to Jerusalem for worship"
