He made it clear he did not intend giving up his religious orders, but, in imitation of the crusading monks at the time of the Tartar invasion in the thirteenth adn fourteenth centuries would hand his troops with his uniform covered with his priestly vestments. He may be fighting now, or he might have been mustered in at last for the long twilight march. IN UNION IS STRENGTH REPUBLIC THAT BARS WOMEN Eveless Eden of Mount Athos where Fair Sex Are Not Allowed to Enter. MAINTAINS ARMY FOR DEFENSE This Dominion Has Passed Through Many Wars with Pirate Invaders. Where the white-cowied peakhead of Mount Athos raises itself into the serene turquoise sky and looks down its slopes, solemnly verduried by dark forests and gardened by olive, myrtle and rose, is the most remarkable republic in all the world, into whose are cadian confines came again the call of war—the world's greatest of wars. This dominion, at all times on a military footing to repel its one great human enemy, was passed through many wars with pirate invaders, not to mention the invasion of curiosity of the Byzantine empress, who insisted upon visiting the place to the mortification and scandal of the good men—so there is small wonder that Father Bulatovitch, once a grim soldier, volunteered to go forth and fight for the czar. Mount Athos is on the peninsula of Salinen, which territory Greece wrested from the Turks in the last war. There are twenty monasteries in the republic, eleven villages and 250 hermitages. The population is composed of more than 3000 monks and as many lay brothers, who are classed as "worldlings." There is an army of fifty Albanian guards stationed at the capital, Karyans, to see that no woman enters. And so rigid is the bar against the weaker sex that not even the female—"any animal is admitted. Think of the garden spot, where despite the iron impress of celibacy, there are romance and poetry in the very air! There is mystery, too, for, looking down from the sea, the cloak of the dense forest that lies over the titanic shoulders of the holy mount is full of blue and black shadow and silence; then, grimly mediaeval, clinging to the side of the elevation, even in the bright sunlight losing none of its impressive character, is the "mysterious monastery" of Simon Peter. For these men, rugged through long years of clean living and wholesome work, are of the stuff of ancient conquerors, despite the transforming spirit of the church. It would be interesting to know just how diffuse among them is the old crusading spirit as shown by the action of Father Eulatovitch, who believes he will be fighting for a holy cause. The Salonica steamer puts into the small port of Daphine, but even though a woman landed there in disguise and was not discovered she could not consider herself really in the forbidden precincts of the evelyne Eden. The enviod objective is Karyas, the capital, on the eastern slope of the mountain, a gem of a settlement, almost hidden among gardens and olive yards, a scattered mosaic on a field of green. And yet in this garden there is no note of the appealing cadences of a woman's voice, no sound of childish laughter, no one touch that would tell of the presence of Eve. That there may be no invasion the army of fifty Albanian guards watches night and day. Women have endowed by various ruses to enter, but invariably have been discovered and turned back. But who was the Eryzantine empress to whom the chronicle referers who insisted upon the forbidden visit and who lived upon it? You naturally settle upon Theodora, the wife of Justinian, who, having been at one time a performer in the circus and much given to adventure, is likely to have undertaken such an exploit simply because it was forbidden. A story is told, also, of an American girl student in Greece, who essayed it and nearly succeeded, but for the clearness of a monk who was endowed with some of the subtle craft of Sherlock Holmes. She went about to prepare for the adventure with pairing deliberation. She practiced for days walking after the real masculine style, assisted by the young man who was to accompany her on the mission. She could smoke a cigarette like a man; but, considering this as not being absolutely convincing, she mastered the cigar, and then, with a heroic effort, conquered the pipe. Her voice was a deep contralto, and when she was at last ready for the adventure she was as perfect a young man as one would expect to see out for travel and instruction. The party landed at Daphne without the disguise being discovered. On arriving at Karyas one reports to the Prefect, who is in charge of the Albenian guard. One of these soldier-monks watched the proceedings with keen interest. There was nothing in the manner of the dissuaded girl to excite suspicion—she was playing her part to perfection—but this fierce-looking soldier-cleric must have received some subtle intuition that the enemy was at hand. Preferring to be absolutely certain he said nothing while the routine was being gone through. But as the party was about to go out into the single street of the capital he suddenly pointed to the floor and exclaimed in perfect English: "Be careful, please!" The girl 'infectively made a motion as though to gather up her skirt had THE GAZETTE Mount Athos might have still drowned in the serenity of its recent dream-picture days, had not Fr. Bulatowitch, who at one time held a commission in the army of the Great White Czar, been buried by the mortal spirit and declared his willingness to go to war. He had been an officer of the Guards and as abbot of a monastery brought something of the military discipline there. But even the monks who have been trained in the paths of peace are not unfamiliar with war. They have it as an inspiring trade" for all of these monasteries in the beginning were armed forts to repel the invasion of pirates. The Russian Monastery, four hours by muleback from the capital, is the best example of this defensive style. "As you approach," tells a recent visitor, "you are impressed and bewildered by that strange fortress sanctuary, with its bristling array of bastions, torches, redams and parapets, all stained, riddled and crenellated by the action of time and tempest. As far as the eye can see there is no opening anywhere along the whole expanse of walls. Wooden galleries project beneath the roof, but they are of comparatively recent construction, having been added since the pirates ceased to harry the Holy Mountain. They are painted a defiant blood-red. The whole mass of masonry clings acrobatic-like to a rock, which is covered with luxuriant verdure." In this curious Republic there are Russian monks and Greek monks and Servian monks and Bulgarian monks. Though peaceful in general effect, Mount Athos has been a place of thrills. Not long ago the Bulgarians made an effort to seize the Servian monastery, Hilendat, and annex it for their own monks. The matter caused intense indignation in Belgrade, and was adjusted with some difficulty by the governing council of monks at Karves. Wars may sweep the earth with fire and steel, and women bear the bitterest patties of the loss, while they rise to the supremeest heights of heroism and self-sacrifice—being angel to freind and foe alike; but here, at Mount Athos, she can have no partern in its peace or its peaceful wars. For she is the enemy, the insidious toe urged to invasion by the most powerful of feminine motives—curiosity. Against her the army of the guard and the army of the isolated faithful are unceasingly on guard. And we who are in the high fever of life, in the full consciousness of what misery, suffering and crime such an obvious thing as sex may encompass—who of us can say, with anything of verity, that these earnest men of Athos are not entirely and supremely happy in their Eveless Eden?—Louisville Courrier Journal. GIRL HAS PERMIT FOR OWN TELEPHONE SYSTEM With Her Own Means She Will Establish an Exchange for Seventy Wentzville, St. Charles County, Mo., will get its first local telephone exchange through the enterprise of Miss Cordella F. Lusby, who is chief operator at Wentzville in the long distance telephone service. With her own means Miss Lusby will put in the poles, string the wires and provide a central station. About seventy subscribers have been obtained. The total investment will be about $3,060. "Why she shouldn't a woman establish and manage a local exchange if she chooses," Miss Lusby "Don't you think women have intelligence enough for that? It seems to me the telephone business is one for which women are peculiarly fitted. "Wentzville, with a population more than 800, never has had a local exchange, and there is a growing sentiment in favor of one. I have been chief long distance operator here for the last nine years, and therefore feel my experience is sufficient to warrant my starting it. "The citizens are giving their patronage to me more liberally than I had expected, and the success of the venture seems assured. The exchange will be operated day and night. My sister, Miss Elsie L. Lusby, will assist me." The Public Service Commission at Jefferson City has issued a certificate of public convenience authorizing Miss Busby to construct and operate the plant. INTERESTING NEW INVENTIONS Bed Divided Into Two Sections By Californian's Device A patent just issued to a California inventor provides a partition for dividing a bed into two sections separate from each other and secures the bed clothing in such manner as to form two separate compartments in the same bed, producing the inventor claims, practically the same advantage as twin beds. A device perfected by an inventor of Wakefield, Mass., enables the motorman of a street car to see the entire interior of the car or to have an unobstructed view down the outside. It consists of a series of mirrors arranged at angles in a small tube, through which images of any object are reflected.

C.—That two women could have lived together publicly as man and wife and the truth not made known until the death of the woman who posed as the husband, is one of the sensational developments being discussed here. Some six years ago Rev. James Willis joined in wedlock one posing as Robert Harris to a young woman who resided on one of the fashionable residential blocks occupied by our people. On March 6, upon order of court, the remains of the supposed husband were disinterested to settle the controversy in which lawyers had become involved over the sex of the deceased. The post-mortem examination brought to light that the corpse, buried as a man, to be in fact a woman, W. L. Houston, attorney for the "widow" contended that the deceased was a man and that the "widow" was entitled to the property left. Attorneys William O. Davis and Charles S. Hill contended that the deceased was a woman and that the legitimate heir was invited to the estate. Last Thursday weeks der an order of court, the examination was made by Dr. Charles H. Marshall, Dr. Samuel M. Pierce, Attorney Hill Norman W. Higgins and a newspaper representative. Affidavits were then made by the physician that the corpse was that of a woman. The body was dressed in a man's suit. The deceased died of influenza, Oct. 16. '18. JOHNSON-WILLARD FIGHT Was a Fake—Matt Hinkle Said as Much in an Interview with a Cleveland Daily Paper, on his Return from Cuba, Four Years Ago. Havana, Cuba—Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, in a recent signed statement, declares that his "fight" with Jess Willard in this city four years ago was a pre-arranged affair and that he allowed Willard to win. In addition to the sum of $80,000, he is moving picture films from Europe, an amount of the proceeds from their exhibition in the U. S. and Canada were promised Johnson, together with the promise of aid to settle his difficulties with the federal authorities in Chicago so that he might return there to reclaim his property and see his mother. Jack declared in his statement that it was arranged that he should lose in the tenth round, provided Willard's showing were such as to justify it that as Willard was doing practically to wait. The signal agreed upon was given in the twentieth round. Johnson states, but he waited until the twenty-sixth round to give Willard an opportunity to make a good showing, and in a round near the twentieth allowed Willard to hit him in the stomach several times while he laughed. Jack London was among the newspaper reporters at the ringside that sent his reports in his accounts of the "fight" to the newspapers of Europe that America. The champion agreed that he fight him within a reasonable time to elate the world's title. He signed his statement, "Jack Johnson, champion." Good! S60 BONUS TO SOLDIERS U. S.

TOOK AWAY THEIR COLORS And Then Grievously Insulted Then While Crossing the Ocean.—The 365th Inf. So Mistreated! Chicago, Ill.—They were glad to get home, happy to see their relatives and friends and to be where cooties are not and there's neither bugler nor corporal to disturb their morning sleep. But, if some of them, our boys of the 365th Inf., had had an idea of how they were to be "jim-crowded" on the way over from France, they would have asked to remain in their mudhole dugouts "for the rest of our lives." This was the assertion, last week Monday from many of the "365th" which came from communal life that morning. Eugene Albert H. Johnson ant band master, who laid down his drum to take one end of a Red Cross stretcher in battle, was particularly indignant. Insulted on the Olympic. "I've got my wife and home in Evanston," he said. "I have a good job and, though I don't ask any credit for my little part while our boys were fighting like hell in France, I would rather have stayed over there than come back and be forced to undergo the indignities we were subjected to on board the Olympic. "We were restricted to certain parts of the ship, compelled to remain in a certain limited area and were watched as though we were prisoners instead of American soldiers returning from the greatest war. And the officers of our companies had it almost as bad." Blames Ship's Officers. Maj. Warner A. Ross (white), commander of the Battalion, also expressed himself against "the miserably insulting and degrading treatment" of our officers and men. "But the commander of the ship is entirely to blame," he said. "The white officers could do nothing to remedy the situation." After landing in New York, the soldiers of the battalion drew up a formal protest of their mistreatment and submitted it to Washington. As they marched through the streets from the depot their colors and regimental colors were missing, the result, some of their officers said, of having been from men in France. There was considerable feeling on the part of officers of the regiment on account of the absence of the colors and also because they were segregated on shipboard coming home. A congressional investigation of this is under way. The regiment was in the Marbache sector on its way to Metz when the armistice was signed.

Hayward's Intensely Interesting Narrative Without the Greatly Desired Explanation Aunt Our Officers. New York City—Col. Wm. Hway of the 39th Infantry, formerly known as the "old 15th N. Y." Reg, recently roused to a wild pitch of enthusiasm one of the largest crowds that was ever packed into old Carnegie hall, when he told of the daring exploits in France of his regiment of brave Afro-American fighters, most of whom were recruited in this city. He was the principal speaker at a meeting to promote the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps and his speech was well received. He continued cheering and bursts of applause, the thousands assembled showed their appreciation of the grand work done by the Afro-American soldier in the great world war. Said Col. Hayward: "In talking to Justice Hughes a few days ago I was astonished to find out that the people in this country did not know what happened in that last big German offensive, on the 15th of July. You see, the Germans had been reinforced by released prisoners from Russia so that they had their maximum forces. They had broken through the British and it was pretty near the disaster. This was carried through the French at Montdidier, gone through thirty or forty-kilos. Col. Hayward then explained that "the old 15th" had been turned to General Gould, commander of the Fourth French army, and that his (Hayward's) men captured some Germans on the night of July 14, thus learning that the expected attack would be launched upon their front. During the 1914 days that the regiment was in the trenches, he said, there were weeks when there was nothing between the German army and Paris enough, he added, "because there was nothing between us and Berlin except the German army. When the French knew this battle was coming," the Colonel continued, "their forces did not remain a thin blue line. It seemed that all the soldiers and all the cannon in the world crawled over and took positions back of us. General Gould saved the world for civilization, but he took a chance, the greatest chance any soldier ever took in the world. He took his troops out of the front line trenches over a front fifty kilometers. He abandoned them when he was aware the attack was coming, and he carried he had the 15th N. Y., on one end of that fifty-kilo line and the old 69th N. Y., in the Rainbow Division, on the other end. And so, when the German fire fell on these front line trenches, except for the few patrols left in reinforced trenches with signal rockets, gas shells and a few machine guns. Practically all of these came back to us in the morning. When the hour for the German infantry attack came these patrols left off their gas bombs and signal rockets and our artillery let loose on the ground. Finally he smashed and never got through to our second line. But on the other end they did get through. They crashed into the Rainbow Division and 'the 69th' met them hand to hand in some of the most terrible fighting of the war—fighting fit for that terrible battle, the battle that was the turning point of he war." About one-third of the line officers of the 369th Inf., were Afro-Americans when Col. Hayward left with them for France. On their return, recently, ALL of the line officers were WHITE in spite of the fact that the Colonel, while abroad, asked for and received forty replacement officers, let transpires that ALL of the Afro-American line officers of the "369th" were gotten rid of as soon as possible after the regiment's arrival in France, Why, Colonel?

Against the opposition of Payliss, then pastor of Lane Memorial church, he succeeded in getting Bishop L. H. Holsey to call the recent C. M. E.

Senator Borah of Idaho, or some other northwestern state, published in a local daily paper, Tuesday evening: "I have no quarrel with Japan. It is a wonderful country of wonderful people—but they're different. There can be no mixing of the races without resultant monstrosity. This immigration question is absolutely taken out of our hands by the Wilson League of Nations proposal. Japan can't surrender her demand for racial equality and we can't concede it." If memory serves us correctly this is the same Borah who a few years ago arose in the U. S. senate and delivered himself of similar remarks, which were directed, that time, against our people, and who referred to his southern birth or direct connections with that pride so characteristic of the average prejudiced "pin-head" southerner. "Bore-ah!" Borah shows unmistakable signs of being too narrow-minded and "small" to take up the room in the U. S. senate of some broad-minded, able and real progressive man. A statement, like the foregoing, does Wilson's present League of Nations plan far more good than harm. JAPAN AND PREJUDICE. Japan's delegates to the World Peace Congress are fighting for their country's full recognition as a world power, something it is and has been ever since its defeat of Russia. They are not concerned with the abolition of prejudice against any other than the yellow race—Japanese and Chinese—as a result of the adoption of a League of Nations. It is just as well to remember this regardless of any indirect benefit we are hoping to derive from their demand at the hands of the Congress. We have not noted either that any of the Japanese or Chinese delegates to the World Peace Congress attended that Pan-African Congress that DuBois was so active in promoting, when he and several other Afro-Americans, in Europe in recent months, might have done something through others (delegates) of direct benefit to their own people, along the line of the demand of the Japanese delegates. We are a great people to stand by and hope that others will do for us what we should at least be trying to do for ourselves, and to "grab at straws" as we are now doing as a result of the effort of the Japanese delegates referred to. No people, other than the American whites, are more prejudiced against the "Negro" than these same "Japs," who have shown it thousands of times in this country if not elsewhere. THE LEADER-NEWS INSULTS. Office of the GAZETTE. 214-215 Blackstone Building. Cleveland, March 16, 1919. Mr. George F. Moran. Dear Sir: I trust you have had time to look into the matter complained of in the marked articles in the copies of my paper, The Gazette, sent to you last and the week previous. My object in writing you today is to call your attention to the use of the insulting and degrading term, "darky," in the sport section, page 1, in the article, "Whose Deal Is It." The mongrel terms, "mick" (for Irish), "dutch" (for Germans), "sheeny" (for Jews), "dago" (for Italian), etc, are synonymous and need no further explanation, I feel] sure. It does seem to me that papers claiming to be progressive and to favor real democracy should be above permitting the use of such insulting terms in their columns. Will you stop it for the Leader and the News? HARRY C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor of The Gazette. * P. S. -For fear that you may not have received the marked copies of The Gazette, referred to above, I am sending you herewith duplicates of the articles marked in them. H. C. S. SENATOR KNOX SPEAKS Senator Philander C. Knox, secretary of state under Taft, experienced in diplomacy and an authority on international law, in his recent speech in the senate very pertinently asked: "Why this feverish anxiety for the adoption of this 'present League of Nations' plan? Why this racing up and down the land by propagandists urging its adoption? What benefit is to come from such a sale of the country as is urged upon us? Who are the beneficiaries of this betrayal of our people?" These are strong words, but opportunity. Countries have been ruined not alone by treachery, but by impetuosity, haste, ill-advised and ill-considered action. Any one who will think, think, think, must realize that the thing which needed speed in the world was the immediate enforcement of a peace on the central powers which would restrain their capacity for evil, and which would enable the whole world to at once return to peace and the putting of the world back into the works and problems of peace. With this accomplished, the nations of the world could then take up the labors of formulating a world union, which, while conserving the nationality of each state, would yet enable them to act cohesively for the maintenance of peace and the prevention of war. The fact is that President Wilson by his undue insistence in making the League of Nations come first has delayed, muddled and endangered pretty much everything. Senator Knox also said that if the people of the United States desired a real League of Nations to prevent war and "not merely to build a coalition to further trade or to preserve and expand territorial possessions" it might be secured through the formation of an international organization comprising all the nations of the world. And it must be remembered that all the nations of the world neutral in the late war are excluded from participation in making the League of Nations which they are later to be forced into joining. Senator Knox said that the constitution of such an international coalition should primarily declare war an international crime and stipulate that any nation engaging in it, except in self-defense, be punished by the world as an international criminal. He also suggested that the constitution should provide that the countries of the two hemispheres be called upon to enforce decrees of the International Court only in their respective hemispheres. "A League formed on these broad lines would carry with it a minimum loss of our sovereignty; would relieve us from participation in the broils of Europe; would preserve the Monroe doctrine, and would save America from the results of European intrigue and aggression." It will be seen that, where serious complications are to arise, the Knox plan, at least, considers the interests and welfare of America. Intentionally or unintentionally the Wilson plan at all times and all stages in effect first considers the interests and welfare of Great Britain and incidentally the other nations, while the interests and welfare of this country are made continuously secondary. The Wilson plan seems to delight in getting America involved to the limit, economically, financially and militarily, and that all over the globe. Under it it is plain to be seen that this country is to be made the universal and continuing "goat." There is no other word to express it. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, indifferent judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty dumbshall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND OFFICERS GIVE FEW ORDERS IN BATTLE Many Privates Fight in the Same Spirit in Which They Would Play Polo or Football An officer in our regular army, who saw fighting in the Spanish War, pointed out the other day that most persons had a very wrong conception of how soldiers fight in modern battles. "After a regiment has wheeled into position to attack the foe, and actual fighting has begun," he said, "the officers really have little to do with the proceedings. There is so much noise, for one thing, that commands can not be heard, and for this reason whistles, in many arunies, have been substituted for bugles, because their shrill blast carries better than the heavier notes of the brass. Beyond giving the signal for the charge the officers can do little. The men, once they see the line of the enemy in front of them, know what is expected of them, and carry out their work with surprisingly few orders. "Sikirmish drills in times of peace have taught the troops how to act together, and it is amazing to see how quickly the men adapt themselves to the conditions of actual battle. It is the corporals and sergeants who are in the line with the men who are the real steadying influences in a fight. They know the characteristics of the individual privates in a way that the commissioned officers can never know them, and are prepared to give a calming word to this or that one when the emergency arises. In my own experience I have known a private who had served three enlistments to take charge of a company in a charge, and the officers and noncoms were very glad to leave it to him. "After the scrap was over he became a private once more, but while that row was on, so far as actual influence with the men was concerned, he was of a great deal more importance than his captain. The way that man could wriggle into cover was a revelation, and he went through three campaigns without a scratch. His example in the regiment was a big asset. "There has been much discussion of bravery in battle since the war begun. According to my experience it is very much a matter of temperament. Some men are carried along by a sort of ecstacy, others hold themselves to the work by sheer force of will, while others, and these are the best, go through a fight with a sort of grim interest as if it was a highly amusing though dangerous sport they were angaged in, like pole or football. "I had an instance of this in the Philippines in the battle in which General Lawton was killed. That was one of the hottest fights I have ever seen. Our men had been ambushed by the Filipinos, who were hidden in great force, while our men were exposed to their fire in the open. I had been sent to the rear for re-enforcements and was passing along our column when I saw lying off to one side an Irish private. He was loading and firing rapidly, but as calmly as if he was on the target range. I stopped for a second or so to watch him. Not a shot was wasted. He was devoting himself to picking off the good shots on the other side, and every time he fired he got a man. Furthermore he was having the time of his life, as you could see plainly from the expression on his face. To him that fight brought more solid enjoyment than anything that had ever come his way." NEW FLUID TO TAKE PLACE OF GASOLINE Discoverer Says It Can Be Manufactured for 1/2 Cents a Gallon— Tests Successful John Andrus, a Portuguese, came to this country to make his fortune. He has become an inventor. Recently the government paid him $20,000 for a discovery he made in toughening armor plate. A much more important discovery, however, has been made by Andrus. He is working on a substitute for gasoline that can be made, he says for 1/2 cents a gallon. According to some of the biggest men in the automobile business, who have observed tests of the new fuel, it will revolutionize not only the automobile business, but all manufacturing business. The substitute is declared to be superior to gasoline in more respects than cost. It is claimed that it runs automobiles faster and that when it is used the engines are cleaner and cooler. Andrus has a good business head and has interested influential men in his plans. No stock is for sale, but the automobile men are talking about the discovery as the most important news in their industry. They say that the new fluid consists mostly of water, a little naphthalene and two secret ingredients. Andrus mixes these in a still to which heat is applied. The fluid books like water and smells like camphor balls.

BRAKEMAN BUILDS $20,000 MANSION Works By Day on House, By Night on Railroad—"It was Hard Work, But It's Worth It" In Daylesford, Chester County, Pa., there is a $20,000 house which is a monument to a man's ambition and perseverance. The house, with seventeen rooms and all the conveniences and comforts that a modern house demands, has just been completed. For nine years it has been rising, by bit, and "every tap of work" on it has been done by its owner, Edmund H. Hatton, a railroad brakeman, who has supported himself, his wife and nine children while he worked by day on the house and by night on the railroad. Hatton still owes $2,600 on his home. When he has that paid off, he says, he will be a thoroughly happy man, and will feel every bit repaid for his sacrifice and struggles. The house is three stories high, the walls of concrete blocks, and is on a halfacre lot. Besides the seventeen rooms there are two bathrooms. It is lighted by electricity. There are a number of fireproofing devices, and an up-to-date steam heating plant makes it cosy in winter. It is next to the largest house in the community. Besides being a jack of all trades, this brakeman, on a small galaxy, has been something of a financier, for he started by borrowing money with which to purchase his land. That is not the starting point of the story, however. The start was the inspiration that came to Hatton to build, not only a fine home, but a mansion, in which he could be absolutely independent of "the landlord." It has been "the landlord" that Hatton has been working against all these years. He is 55 years old. Nine years ago he was living in a little house in Daylesford that suited him and his wife and five youngsters. So he was 46 years old when he conceived his project. The landlord wanted Hatton to pay a higher rent, an increase that meant considerable to the brakeman. His only alternative was to move out of his home. That meant nothing to the landlord, who was wealthy enough to be able to afford to wait for tenants, but it meant that the Hatton family had to give up a home to which they were attached. Hatton decided to build his house of concrete. He made molds for the blocks, mixed the concrete and manufactured the blocks himself. He dug the excavation for the foundation himself—slow work, and hard work, too—and built the foundation stones. The brickman paid for a material on 20 day notes. He filled and laid the foundation sufficiently in space to build a low temporary fence with the number of his shovels. The number of the walls were laid on the fence. The 90-day notes had to be paid out of wages. The builder gradually raised his walls, set in the joists and supports for the second and third stories and then for the roof. He could he covered portions of the roof and then began to carry out the thousand and one details of the interior construction—chimneys, stairways, window frames, electric wiring, plumbing, plastering, painting, piping for the steam heating system, installing the system itself, and papering. And all this time Hatton was gradually furnishing room after room, so that his home expanded as he carried forward his labors. "It was worth it," said Hatton. "It did not cost me so much to live in the shanty, and we have fought hard to keep down all expenses anyway. It was a tough battle, even at that, sometimes. I ought to explain that this was not entirely a one-man job after all. It was a one-family job, though. My youngsters, as they grew older, helped out now and then when they could." DOLLAR A YEAR IS HIS SALARY Said to Be the Lowest Paid Man in Uncle Sam's Service. Baltimore, Md.—At a salary of $1 a year Frederick W. M. Burmeister has been appointed custodian of the cut-off channel front and rear-range lights in the Patapsco River. Custodian Burmeister has but few duties to perform. In addition to his salary he has the free use of a home on the lighthouse reservation. He could not be carried on the government pay rolls without a specified salary, and to give official importance and responsibility the salary of $1 was agreed upon. It was not stated whether he would be paid monthly, as is the department's custom, or let it accrue to the end of the year. For use in small gatherings there has been invented an attachment for phonographs that illustrates songs as they are sung by projecting lantern slide views on a screen hung in front of the phonograph horn. A camera operated by electricity has been invented for lowering in oil wells to photograph the condition surrounding broken tools. OHIO, MARCH 22, 1919.

Griffin, a more experienced boxer and with ‘a longer reach than his opponent showed better ring gen- e1alship than the Toledoan. He quick- ly learned what the Toledo boy had and knew just what to do to protect himself. Rumpky, however, after get- ting a few left swats to the abdomen where they hurt, learned to protect that part of his anatomy. Nearly every round went to the champion.

More than 50 moonshiners are imprisoned in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta. A dozen are in the Fulton County Tower and several dozen more, all for short terms, are imprisoned in other county jails throughout Georgia. At every turn of the federal court Georgia mountainers, accused of making their corn into whiskey instead of into meal, are called upon to stand trial. They are always caught, but the business of making moonshine whiskey always goes on. This will probably continue to be the case as long as corn and nothing else will grow on the steep mountains slopes in a country where "there aren't no Ten Commandments, an' a man can raise a thirst." "Why did I do it?" said Jim Troglin, a trusty. "Because I got a wife and eight children. Aln't that reason enough for anything? Now, listen to these figures. Up in our country you can't raise anything to speak of but corn. You can sell a bushel of corn for a dollar, maybe a little more. But suppose you make it into whiskey. You can get two gallons of liquor from one bushel of corn, and you can sell every gallon you make for $2.00 or $2.50. "That's the reason I make moonshine. We needed the money, and I didn't see any other way to get it. You can't hire out on a farm or in a factory up in our country, as you can down here. You don't find any big farms there and there isn't any facies except sawmills, and there isn't enough work at them for a living for a man. We've had hard times up our way, just as you have down here. I didn't have any young stock to sell, and there didn't seem to be any way to get the money except by moonshining. "I guess my family's having a hard time now. I told you I got a wife and eight children. The youngest one of them is four months old and the oldest is 22 years. But she isn't strong, and one's a cripple. Just after I left home they all took whoooping cough, and they haven't got well yet. Of course, it's got to be poor living. It was poor before I left. And I guess there's a few other families up in North Georgia as bad off. "Whenever you see a moonshiner in jail there a wife and children back in the mountains who are having a hard time keeping warm and getting food. A man who is well off when the revenuers catch him pays his fine, and goes his way, but all of us don't got the money to pay the fine. Some of us here in jail made whisky because it was the only way we saw to get the money, and we've all got folks at home that are needing us. If you can't go. wor', and you've just got to have money, what are you going to do? "We don't blame the government and the revenue officers. Of course when you've taken the corn, and it's yours, it looks like you might do what you want with it. But when the government men found me I said it was all right. They didn't need to bring any guns along. It was their business to find stills, and I told them whenever they found me making whisky they needn't look for trouble, but just walk right up. "The thing, though, we folks in the mountains can't get used to is the informers. A lazy skunk who won't work finds a man who is running a still and turns him up to the government for about ten dollars. I hear they get fifty dollars if the still is large enough, but I don't know about that. I know we'll be working along makein' the best corn whiskey we can, and selling it cheap enough, the Lord knows, when a government man with a tip from one of these informers happens by, and the next thing we know we are penned up in a place like this for three or four or m.ybe six months. I guess the government can't do anything else, but what . . . you think of a real North Georgia man who'd turn up his neighbor? "Then we come down here, and Judge Newman or Judge Speer, he does the best he can for us. But if we haven't any money to pay our fines we come over here to spend a while, and during all that time there's nothing but a little corn and potatoes at home. Judge Newman is the best Judge that ever had feet under him. There isn't any chance he wouldn't give a poor fellow from up in the mountains. But when we know we're guilty, and he knows it, there ain't anything for him to do but send us up. "But, Bud, we don't make liqueur for fun, or to get a bank account. We just naturally do it to get bread and meat. It costs about $30 for a still, and we have it shipped into us. And I guess it cost about a dollar to make a gallon of whisky. We always mix a little rye with the corn to make it yeast up and work off. Right there's considerable work, but then the money always sure. You don't never have any throche getting shed of whisky. I think everybody sort of likes it. And they just step right up and buy. A lot of folks will throw the money on the ground and make you pick it up. They say just to hand out the money is a state offense. But there's always two dollars or a little more waitin' for every gallon of whisky you got. "Now with corn you couldn't hardly raise enough to make a livin' out of it. When you got eight children, what are you goin' to do but make liquor?" Famous moonshiners have had their brief day in Georgia, though the span of such fame grows shorter as the vigilance of revenue men increases. But there are two of these always to be remembered—one for the fear he inspires and the other for his drullery. The man who was feared was "Bell Tree" Smith, who was known throughout the country near Cedartown. His large still, hidden in the hills, worked as methodically as though it were licensed and regulated by the government. But no officers ever happened by it. The reason was simple enough. No man in all the country had the temerity to inform on "Bell Tree." The man's nickname came from the fact that he hung a huge bell in a tree and directed all who wanted the whisky to ring the bell and leave the money beneath it. Not daring to look behind them, they walked away, and in half an hour returned to find the whisky in the place, where the money had been. Here is the story of "Bell Tree's" death: An all day singing had been held at a little church near Borden-Wheeler, and in returning a quarrel broke out among the worshipers, an inoffensive farmhand being chosen as the most convenient object of violence. He was kicked and cuffed about. In Wild West fashion "Bell Tree" began to shoot at the fellow's feet to make him dance. Then the farmhand went mad with terror. He stooped, and as he rose he held in his hand a huge rock. He whirled his missile at "Bell Tree's" head, straightened out his right arm like a pitcher, and the rock went true. "Bell Tree" never spoke again. "Ben Tree never spoke again. The other moonshiner, whom many loved, was Joshua Flanagan. He had a wit that went with his tongue, and was known far and wide for his repartee. He was on trial before Judge Speer. "Your name is Joshua?" questioned the jurist. "Yes, sir," said the prisoner. "Are you the man who made the sun stand still?" asked the Judge. "No, sir," replied the prisoner, quick as a flash. "I'm the man who made the moon shine." ANIMALS WILL TALK TO MAN SOME DAY, HE SAYS Professor Sees World Gain When the Birds and Beasts Tell Story of Their Lives "Some day a man will talk to his dog and his dog will talk to him. So will the man talk to birds of the air, it will be then that all animal and bird life becomes articulate and a widening of our horizon now undreamed of will result." This was the statement made in Los Angeles, Cal., this week by R. L. Garner, who has spent twenty-five years in the wilds of Africa studying the chimpanzee and the gorilla. He believes the first communication will be with these two animals. "A dream, you say?" he continued, "Cannot the bee teach us the quick, effective elimination of the unfit and shirker? Cannot the birds tell us their secret of flying? Would we not like to know why the oriole, the ovenbird or castle building ant are so much better engineers than we are? I believe the day will come when they will be able to tell us. In many respects the gorilla or chimpanzee is far more civilized than man. You never did or never will hear of either abandoning their wives." After spending a vacation here Garner intends to return to the Congo for further study of the animals found there. WISDOM TEETH; WHY SO CALLED No Direct Relation to One's Mental Equipment. The so-called wisdom teeth are the last two molars to grow, and they have no real connection with the possession of wisdom. They take their name from the time of their arrival from 20 to 25 years, at which age the average person is supposed to have reached years of discretion. Cutting one's wisdom teeth means simply arriving at the point of completeness in physical equipment, and has no direct relation to mental equipment. The possession of these teeth is no guarantee of wisdom. They grow at about the same age in people whether they are wise or not. FIND NEW WOOD FOR PENCILS Grows in East Africa and Resembles American Cedar. A new wood which has proved suitable in eery way for the making of lead pencils has been discovered in East Africa just at the time when the American cedar, the material from which pencils are made in the United States, is virtually exhausted. The new wood, which is a variety of cedar and a near relation to the American sort, is already being imported into Germany, and it is quite possible that soon it will be used in America. The tree from which the wood is taken rises to a notable height—from 75 to 125 feet in the air—and measures from 2 to 4 feet in diameter at the bottom.

GANTT QUINO SCHOOL — Nashville, Tennessee — "MAD DOG" EXPERT DESCRIBES SIGNS Tells How to Detect the Presence of Rabies—Dangerous Symptoms Easy to Recognize "Mad dog!" The cry has always been one of the most dreadful warnings, and rightfully so, for statistics show that among hydrophilic patients the mortality is nearly one hundred per cent. Hardly a day passes in the summer months without a mad dog scare being reported from some part of the country, and yet there are people who say there is no such thing as rabies, that it is a superstition based on fright alone. The truth is that the average person does not recognize the symptoms of rabies. Dr. C. J. Marshall, state veterinarian of Pennsylvania, has just made some interesting comments on this fact. He also tells how to ascertain whether or not a dog is mad. In the first place Dr. Marshall says there is such a disease as rabies. He has seen hundreds of dogs, a number of cats, many head of cattle and a large number of horses die of the disease. "There is no disease of which I know that is more sure to cause death," he says. "I know very well that all animals and all persons bitten by a rabid animal do not develop rabies, but records which I have show that where rabid dogs have bitten persons around the extremities seventeen out of a hundred have developed the disease, while eighty out of a hundred bitten about the face have become victims. This because the teeth of the animal when slashing at a person's legs become cleared of the poisonous saliva and usually do not carry, by the time they cut into the skin, enough disease germs to inpregnate the torn flesh. On the other hand, when an uncovered portion of the body is bitten all of the deadly bacteria are on the point of the dog's teeth, which tear into the flesh fully armed. "The only way that rabies can be spread is by the bite of an animal. It is simply a disease which is carried from place to place by dogs which have been bitten by other dogs and which will bite still others in turn. The mad cats, horses and cattle occasionally seen have been bitten by mad dogs. It is the ownerless dog which causes most of the trouble. The household pet, no matter how carefully he may be watched, may be bitten by a contaminated hound and doomed. However, these animals rarely spread rabies, for their owners, as soon as they see them becoming ill, usually confine them and send ill to a veterinarian. "Among the ordinary symptoms of rabies is a change in the disposition of the dog. If he has been affectionate he often becomes cross and irritable, while dogs that are of a nervous, ferocious temperament frequently become very affectionate and timid. In many cases the animal goes away from home and may travel several miles, and on his return will show that he has been in a number of fights with other dogs. There is always a change in the voice of the animal. Instead of a bark he makes more of a cry and does more barking than usual. In some cases dogs that are affected are constantly licking or biting the body, sometimes even licking through the skin and doing extensive damage to this particular part. They usually have a depressed appetite, and will eat pieces of wood, cloth, leather or any rubbish that they may find. Dogs that are kept in the house or in kennels frequently chew up the furniture or tear the bars of the cage with their teeth, and sometimes even tear their teeth out or laceer their mouths through such violence. "There is always a foolish expression to the face of a dog affected by rabies and sometimes an inability to close the mouth. Dogs will make an effort to drink if water is placed before them when they have the disease, but as the tongue and throat are paralyzed it is impossible to quench their thirst. In true rabies a dog can not live more than ten days. The average person is more liable to consider a dog with a convulsion or a fit as rabid, but such cases will recover if properly treated, and will in time become well again."

The results may prove that it was decidedly worth while to take the trouble. Here are two tests that you can make every easily: Fill a tumbler with water, drop in a lump of white sugar, cover it with a saucer, and let it stand over night on the bricks at the side of the range, on the kitchen mantlepiece, or in fact any place where the temperature will not sink below sixty degrees. If next morning the contents are clear the water is pure. If, on the other hand, the liquid is cloudy some source of contamination is indisputably proved to exist. The second test is to drop a few grains of pomgranate of potash into a tumbler of water, cover and let it stand for an hour. If the water is still of the bright rosy color to which the chemical turned it is perfectly safe for drinking; if it of a brownish color it is impure, although the impurity may be of the kind that boiling will rob of its power to harm.
