Has Scientists Puzzled

SO far as mans memory extends,
Ireland has been without snakes.
Whether or not St Patrick is the
reason for the Emerald isles i'm
munity, England, Scotland and
Wales, but a few miles across the
water, have always had at least a
fair sized population Of these rep
tiles. The nearest approach to a

called the lag worm, which isn't for

many attempts to introduce harm

but the introductiOns have not been
successful. biologists are unable
to account for the phenomenon.

Golden Text-Other sheep
have. which are not of this fold,
them also must bring, and
they shall hear my voice; and
there shall be one fold, and one
shepherd. John 1915.
The feeding of 5000 men
with a lads lunch on the north
eastern shore of the Sea of Cali
lee aroused in the multitude a
desire to make Jesus king who
could throw off the Roman yoke
and ascend the throne of uni
vcrsal empire. But the next day
at Capernaum he rebuked their
material conception in that deep
" spiritual address on himself
as the Bread of Life. There
upon the crowds fell away from
him and Jesus faced the crisis
of his ministry. Within the re-
naming months of his earthly
life he made three or four with
GrawalS from the scene of his
activities. 1t was on the first
of these Withdrawals that he
visited the district of Tyre and
Sidon where he healed a Syrian
girl and made a tour through
Decapolis. where he healed
deaf-mute.
Spiritual defects were remed-
led by Jesus in the cure of the
denounced girl in Phenicia,
From the hot and busy basin of
the Sea of Galilee he and his
disciples in search Of rest and
recreation had gone thirty or
forty miles northward into the
mountains of Phenicia, the first
and only visit of Christ to Gen
tile territory. Their host was
probably a witness if not ben
eficiary of the wonderful min
istry in Galilee. In the vicinity
there was woman who was a
Greek by culture, Pheniciar
by citizenship and a Canaanite
| by heredity. Her home was
blighted by an unspeakable cal
amity for her little daughter was
fearfully denounced. At once
the anxious mother sought the
aid of the Great Healer. Though
he had come for recuperative re-
tirement he could not and would
not evade the distressed mother
who in an agony of earnestneSs
Frustrated herself at the feet OF
Jesus, beeseeching him to cas-
forth the demon out of her
daughter. The tests he gave hel
faith were coupled with en-
enlargement though the final
test was made in words that
seem to US almost repellant: at
is not meet to take the children's
bread and cast it to the dogs"
The word for dogs however re-
felred not to the halfwild scav-
engers which were found on the
street but to the household pets
which were the companions OF
the children. Through this word
spoken alphabetically the wo-
man saw her Frightening hope
of mercy. Eagerly she grasped
her point in the immortal words
"Yea, Lord: even the dogs un-
der the table eat of the chill
dren'S crumbs" Let the loaf go
to the privileged Jew but may
not the downfalling crumbs be
shared with the penitent and be-
lieving Gentle? 1t was the rea-
soning of faith and gracious was
the answer Of Jesus. Her pray
er won the desired reward and
more. The assurance Of Jesus
was enough and away she hur-
ried to her house to find her
little child laid upon the bed

GOLD RESERVES

There are many things to be explained by those
who believe the gold supply of a nation determines
the value of its money.
An inquiry in the British House of Commons,
recently, disclosed the following amounts of gold
stocks. as translated into pounds, as of date
about four weeks ago: United States, S9O,37O,OOO
pounds (S43SS, 900, O0O); France, 67O,973,OOO
pounds: Great Britain, 139 ,42200O pounds; Italy,
63. O04, 900 pounds; Germany, 39,35SOO0 pounds
The Christian Science Monitor draws some very
interesting deductions from the above situation,
and we feel certain that anyone who is interested
in a study of the money situation VIII be glad 70
follow the line of reasoning.
For instance, it is pointed out that the Italian
Ira, which was stabilized higher than the French
franc and apparently is just as firm today IS up
held by less than tenth of the gold reserve that
is back of the franc. Still extraordinary, it is
shown. is the position of the German Reihcsmark
which is backed up by a considerably smaller sum-
The Monitor, to make the matter clearer, ex-
plains that we may say that Germany manages
with 40 units Italy with 60, Great Britain with
40 France with $40, and the United States with
$50. Such extraordinary discrepancy in the gold
reserves, which is not parallelled by similar dis
crepancy in the stability of currencies, may well
make not only the man OF SlIeeC UuH tHS eSOiiO
mist wonder whether gold has not been regarded
with exaggerated Importance. AS the system now
operates, reserves of public confidence are of more
weight than stores of yellow metal in stabilizng
nations finances.
Going back some months the Monitor calls to
mind that at given moment which quickly passed,
the fate of our American dollar gave rise 70 some
anxiety, in spite of an unquestionably adequate
gold coverage.
If we can wean ourselves from blind belief
that there is something sacred about gold, and
realize our monetary system should needs be some
what flexible to meet the varying needs Of eco
nomc changes-then we shall have taken long
step towards recovery, The Record believes.-The

NoN-TEACHER INTEREST IN EDUCATION

Friends Of education in North Carolina are or
ganizing a movement against the effort to force
educational appropriations to bear the brunt Of
legislative economy. No teacher is to be allowed
to participate in this particular movement. The
purpose is to impress the legislature that men and
women having no personal pecuniary interest at
stake are alarmed at the proposal to deprive the
rising gene ration of fair chance in life.
time like this threatens civilization. At
no point is the threat more serious than at the
school house door. The New York Times some
months ago stated that the SCI that the
American people were spending annually for all
education from kindergarten to university was 274
per cent OF the nations income. That is not much
greater than the 81, 141 100000 spent tobacco.

Nebraskans Face
A Water Famine

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 26. (UP)
Since 1882 Nebraska farmers
have tapped the flow of the North
Platte river, pouring its waters
over the fertile sell of western
and central Nebraska.
Recently there has appeared
what NebraskaNs regard a serious
threat to the entire area now be-
ing irrigated by the Platte river;
The state of Colorado has laid
claim to water rights in the flow
of the North Platte. A plan has
been advanced for diversion from
The watershed Of the North Platte
river into the upper reaches Of
the South Platte valley in north
central Colorado.
"In fighting the Colorado pre-
posal," State Engineer Roy Coch-
ran said, Nebraska is guarding
two priorities Of claim to use OF
the waters of the Platte.
First, this state is seeking to
protect its claim to storage waters
of the Pathfinder dam, which re-
leases hundreds of thousands Of
acre feet of water to Nebraska
irrigatCTs annually.
Second, we are interested IN
protecting Nebraska's recognized
prior appropriations from the
rivers natural flow."
Millions Of dollars Of irrigation
developments and potential crops
are involved in the consideration,
Cochran said.
The Pathfinder irrigation prof.
ect and the Nebraska lands have
grown to include 100000 acres OF
highly productive land. Each year
thousands Of tons of valuable
sugar beets, millions of bushels of
high grade potatoes and millions
of tons of hay, in addition to huge
grain crops are grown.
Even now, the development in
Nebraska has made serious de-
mands on the supply of waters
from the watershed of the Platte.
In 1881, the Pathfinder reservoir,
with a capacity of 100000 acre
fet of water was drained. Ne
braska irrigators clamored for
more water to save dying crops.
None was available.
"Confronted with this situa-
ton" Cochran said, "Nebraska If

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
Bv Ike Walton, Redivivuo

Brother Douglas was not fish
ing for compliments when he told
his Brevard readers what a hustl-
ing town Hendersonville was. He
was lust exhibiting that fine qua
Iitv of freedom from Jealousy
which makes a man kin to the an
gels. .
Jealousy is the right prong OF
the devils pitchfork. 1t kills more
men than tuberculosis does. IL
leads to hatred, wars, mad rivalry,
price-cutting, intrigues, schemes,
lies. pretensions, inspirations, IN
vendoes base gossip, scandal and
the whole dictionary Of mean
nouns. A smart boy in school
once said he did not try to make
very high grades because it would
make other boys jealous of hrn.
He was an observant young phil
Osopher.
jealousy is usually exhibited by
people of small calibre, too small
to know what is the matter with
them. But occasionally you run
across it as an infirmity OF other
wise noble minds. Henry Cabot
Lodge was man Of culture, a
scholar, an orator, and an aristo-
crat in the Greek sense of the
word, but his insane jealousy of
Woodrow Wilson put back the
clock of the world. Benedict Ar
mold was at first brave and in
telligent officer but jealousy Of
Washington made him a traitor
