gave an account of man who had
lost both his hands, and for awhile
was rendered helpless, but later he
substituted some mechanical hands,
made of metal, and it was said that
"they were superior, even to the
natural hands" To us that sounds
like "whopper" If that be true,
the man who made the hands has
got the Creator beat. Wonder if he
can sew button on his pants,
skin a cat, or play a saxophone?
Anyhow it is taking all the elias
ticity of our mind to think that very
many people are going to have
their hands amputated in order to
substitute these truly marvellous
hands. Then recently we read that
this versatile Ripley had found the
Garden of Eden" and located the
Tree of Knowledge but found
only the stump. To US that is an
other "whopper." But why fault
Ripley? He surely is not the first
and only man to ''stretch the blan-
ket.'' Let's take a look back over
the annals of time and see what we
can find. When "Father Abra-
ham," progenitor of his race went
down into Egypt to get something
telling what was even half truth
about hiswife. Then we read about
Moses, as chief commander of the
children of Israel, on their journey
from the Red sea to the Promised
Land, sending twelve Of his best
men on ahead, as informants, to
ascertain what kind of a country it
was to which they were headed.
Only two gave a truthful report
The large majority said there were
giants so big that "we were as
grasshoppers in their sight, So
we see at that early date only one
out of six was found who could
tell the truth. Then a few hun
dred years later that great King
David said Tin his haste) call men

women too. Farther on in the

PIEPING, Jan. 25.-General Sung
Yuan, Chinese governor of
Chahar province, was reported ready
today to capitulate to the demands
of a japanese military force that he
withdraw within the Great Wall of
China.
Fighting ceased in the area after
three days of guerrilla like warfare
in which at least so Chinese and 19
Nippon soldiers lost their lives.
The japanese rested after taking
possession of a strip of north China
claimed jointly by Manchukuo and
Chahar.
Consolidating their position be-
fore the great wall, which for CEN
turtles has guarded China from its
northern enemies, the japanese sent
word to Gen. Sung that they are
ready to discuss over the conference
table the dispute about the Jehol-
Chahar boundary.
Japanese scouting and bombing
planes flew over the area, circling
the walled city of Tushihkou. Maj
TakahaShi, japanese military at
tache in Peiping, admitted the city
had been bombed Thursday. He
said there will be no further opera

10 Miles From Moro Castle

By JHitCd Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Less than
10 miles south of Sea Girt, N. j.,
where the Ward Liner Mohawk
went down last night, lies the hulk
of the Moro Castle from the same
line, which was beached on the New
Jersey coast after 124 lives had been
lost in a fire at sea last Sept. 8.
The rescue liner Algonquin, bring
ing some passengers and members
of the crew of the Mohawk into
New York, passed almost within
sight of the Moro Castle, blocking
part of the ASbury Park On. j.
waterfront.
Loss of the $4,000, 900 Moro Castle
was a staggering blow to the Ward
Line, which since that disaster has
advertised under their parent COM
pany name of the New York and
Cuba Mail Steamship Co.
In addition passengers and rela-
tives of the dead or injured have
filed suits aggregating millions
against the company.
In the four months since the
Moro Castle tragedy the Ward Line
has suffered further losses. On Dec.
8, the Cauto lost her propeller off
Jacksonville, Fla, and narrowly
escaped serious trouble. Then, on
Jan. 6, the Havana ran aground on
a shoal north of the Bahamas.

For half an hour she fought des-
