Sept. 20.—A heated fight developed in the Senate last Monday afternoon over the Administrative measure proposing a loan of five million dollars to Liberia, a measure which passed the House last May, urged by President Harding and Secretary Hughes. A number of the Republicans declared the bill to be an inheritance from the Wilson administration. Senator Glass, who was secretary of the treasury, under the Wilson regime during the Liberian loan negotiations is said to oppose the measure. Senators McCumber and Curtis urged the passage of the bill, claiming that it is a moral obligation. Senator Borah said that the bill simply mean taking over Liberia by the U. S. and added that New York bankers who have made loans to Liberia would be the principal beneficiaries. Senator Glass said he did not concur with Mr. Lansing's views and added that $26,000 advanced to Liberia to enable the Liberian delegates to attend th Paris peace conference was the only war loan which "cannot be justified." Borah declared that speculators had brought up claims against the Liberian government at 10 to 20 cents on the dollar with the expectation of payment from the $5,000,000 American fund. "I am not in favor of taking over Liberia and become a part of the imperial scheme of finance which is the curse bringing the-world into another war," said Borah, adding that the bill proposed a salary roll of $98,000 annually for American commissioners to supervise the loan. Borah's twenty million dollar "rider" added to Liberian loan bill, adopted by Senate. This additional money to be used for reclamation projects in the west. OCTOBER The Dawn Of A New Hope. Dunbar big school has launched on its fourth week of the school year, encouraging boys and girls to pursue, not only an education but a high school and college education. Imbued with the unfaltered spirit of the age, its noble ideals, charity, moral and intellectual goal, we are striving to succeed in lifting humanity as well as the race by reducing illiteracy. With the cooperation of the citizens of Metropolis, this year is destined to be paramount in its aims and achievements. We honor, cherish those who have earned the proud title of Liberator; yet it is our Christian duty to laud and commemorate those names on the scroll as sponsors to the cause of our education. So far as in our spere of existence illiteracy is the greatest of the world's problems; not merely in its racial or national forms but in its in-ternational aspect. The controlling and convincing of popular audiences by sheer appeal does not often reach the approbation of the mass of peaceful citizens. The effrevesence and the love of patriotism is an instinctive passionate emotion and with this characteristic vehemence the Dunbar faculty is exerting every effort to inculcate and foster moral and intellectual training. Education is the most important benefactor for the development and welfare of the human family. The older folk should be concerned because (1) education helps the boy or girl to meet the problems of life without shrinking. (2) An educated person is never at a loss as to how to spend his leisure hours. (3) education takes scales off the eyes of persons who would otherwise remain blind their lifetime to many of God's wonders. Again, there is no doubt about it education pays. The higher an individual rises in the scale, the fewer are his competitors. Not half the children are in school who ought to be, parents should refrain from favorlng children's withdrawing from school for the sake of a few pennies which in later years always bring regretful memories. It is the duty of older people to mold and influence the youth in worhty paths of life journey; this early warning may bridge the deep chasm of illiteracy which is today the greatest pitfall of our noble youths.

I have long since learned that serving God is not so much talk and shouting, and kicking up a foging dust, and in this statement we do not condemn shouting and praising God, but this element in the Christian system comes after service has been rendered, not to God to the neglect and detriment of your fallen brother but service, real service rendered to God's creatures. "As oft as ye did it unto the least of my little ones, Ye did it unto Me." Now my Brethren, if you will hold this project up before your people properly, they will respond. The paying the principle Debt on my Aged Ministers Home, without paying four or five Thousand Dollars interest, depend upon the leadership of our Pastors. Then too my Brethren, the more you your flocks to see real service to God, in the service of His Creatures, the more God they will see in you, and the more God will give you of this worlds good thru them that see God in you. Try Him in giving your strength and influence to get your church to render some sacrificial service in paying for this Home.

The above is to inform the Brother and Sisterhood how imperative it is for us to be up and doing every day in the year, rather than just once a year at our annual session. Realizing this fact of necessity, our State Association elected the writer General Financial Agent of the Home to stir the Brother and Sisterhood of the Baptist Family of the State, and everybody else that I may be able to interest to help us put the project over the top. To this good Day I have wrought the best I could to carry out the behest of the Association.

The Wends are a section of the Slavonic race, dwelling in that part of Germany known as Lusatia, partly in Prussia and partly in the former kingdom of Saxony. In the Sixth century the Wends were a powerful people, extending along the Baltic from the Elbe to the Vistula and south to the frontiers of Bohemia. They comprised a variety of tribes. To the Wends at the outbreak of the war Prussia was merely a military expression. They have always remained closely united among themselves, preserving the old customs and considering the mingling of races by marriage as opposed to the laws of origin. The distinctions of caste among them are very marked and scrupulously respected. They call themselves Sorsb, and are known in history as Polabs. Their language, of which there are two most marked dialects, is Saxon and Prussian, with sections that speak a mixed form of both languages, which is described as being between Polish and Czech (Bohemian) and was reduced to a written language in the Sixteenth century. The people of Wendish speech numbered 144,000 in the '80's, were reduced to 116,800 in 1500, and are considerably less today. BOILING MAY BE OVERDONE Too Much Cooking Said to Be Fatal to Vitamines, Which Are Necessary to Life. Ever since the mysterious little vitamins have claimed the attention of science, new theories have been expounded from time to time. Now comes the claim that vitamins are bits of sunshine. Because of the important part cooking plays in maintaining or destroying these precious vitality givers, it is well to learn what the new theory asserts regarding it. Vegetables grown above ground, according to this theory, are richer in vitamins than those not having the direct rays of the sun, otherwise known as root vegetables. It is declared that over-boiling kills the stimulating action of the vitamins. The housewife who would supply her daily menu with these vitality-giving items should look well to the fresh fruits and vegetables in the market at this time of year. It is claimed that because the vitamins are actual rays of sunshine, artificial heat tends to destroy their natural power. Therefore fruit and vegetables that may be eaten raw are more beneficial than when boiled. Oidest Engines in England. Two engines which are still pumping away after a hundred years are to be seen in the Brookmill Road pumping station of the London water board. They were built one hundred and one hundred and ten years ago respectively. Every day since they were installed they have raised on an average 1,750,000 gallons of water, and the total amount they have pumped must be at least sixty thousand million gallons. These engines, which are probably the oldest working machines of their kind in the country, are of fifty horse-power, and each works two pumps. They are of the type that was once used in the Cornish mines, and except for a few modern improvements which have been added during recent years, they are exactly as they were a century ago. Soon they are to be replaced by new engines, not because they are not capable of performing their work, but because modern engines work more cheaply. Heated Argument. It was the girl's busy day and everything seemed toopsy-turvy, nothing was on time, and she was rushing around the office at a rate that she thought could not be rivaled; but Sambo, the office boy, came in with the speed of a cyclone and she felt outdone. Now, Sambo's movements at all times are leisurely and deliberate, and no amount of threats or coaxing could get Sambo to exert himself beyond the speed of a slow movement camera subject. Therefore this unusual display of locomotion from Sambo was most surprising. The girl stopped to get an explanation. Sambo rolled his eyes, took a deep breath and elucidated: "The boss is on a tear and he sure is mad; he's bawled out everybody on the place and he's having some argument now. That there argument was gettin' so hot that I knew the ole automatic fire sprinkler would begin to work in another minute, so I just run before it happened."—Exchange. "Rolling Court" in Florida. Florida has a "rolling court," operating on the Atlantic boulevard near Jacksonville. Justices of the peace and their bailiffs patrol the highway in passenger automobiles, accompanied by dozens of deputies on motorcycles, ready to pounce upon any driver who endangers traffic. Upon making an arrest, the deputy and his prisoner proceed until met by one of the "rolling courts." Only British Instruments. For a period of two years, licenses for broadcasting granted to Great Britain should contain the provision that only British instruments should be used. This is the recommendation of the postmaster general, and, according to the London Evening Times, has been approved by the cabinet. Pushing Out of Razorback Hog Responsible for Multitude of Snakes in North Carolina. The mountainous sections of North Carolina are great breeding places for snakes and some of the regions are now inclosed in national forest areas. Twenty years ago rattlesmakes were quite scarce in the North Carolina mountains. Those were the days when razorback hogs, one of the greatest of snake exterminators, were a formidable part of the state's porche population. Then along came George W. Vanderbilt, who purchased 30,000 acres of this mountainous country and fenced it, driving out the razorbacks and permitting the brush to grow. The Texaway company followed Mr. Vanderbilt, acquiring 30,000 acres adjoining his holdings. The exodus of razorbacks from so large an area has resulted in a remarkable increase of rattlesnakes. North Carolinaians declare that there were never so many in their state as now. Forestry service men in newly acquired areas in North Carolina and other southern states have reported the presence of a tremendous number of rattlers. One Washington official, who was in North Carolina looking over a piece of forest, sat down on a log to rest a moment and discovered that he had barely missed sitting squirrelly on a rattler. He jumped up with a yell, only to find several others viewing him with obvious interest. In the forests of the Southwest the ting feared by forest officers and natives even more than the rattlesnake is the hydrophobia skunk. This is a small species of skunk that terrorizes the district in which it flourishes. To be bitten by one means, it is said, hydrophobia, unless the patient can reach a Pasteur hospital quickly. GOLD ONLY IN BOY'S MIND Scottish Villagers the Victims of Hoax Which They Are Only Too Willing to Forget. The treasure hunt of the villagers of Darvel, Ayrshire, Scotland, was prompted by a boy's hoax. Some days ago a piece of paper was found containing a message in faded writing to the effect that many years ago the writer had buried a vast hoard of gold in the vicinity of the town. The exact spot would be found indicated on a chart which, it was stated, was concealed in a cranny of an old bridge. After a minute search some young men came across the chart, and soon an immense crowd of men and women, armed with picks and shovels and other implements, were feverishly digging in an old quarry near the town, this being the spot indicated on the chart. The work continued a whole day, but late in the evening, just when everyone was on the tiptoe of excitement, they received a great shock. A message was received that the story of the hidden treasure had originated with a boy who prepared the papers, browned them before a fire to make them look old, and then hid them. He was well satisfied with his joke. "Safety First." Wrist watches are no longer a novelty, but I happened to see a wrist attachment the other day while waiting for a train at the Union station that attracted my attention. A young man had a leather thong attached to the handle of his bag, while the other end was securely fastened to his wrist. Noticing that I was very much interested in this unusual contrivance, he volunteered the following information: "On two or three occasions, while putting my bag on the floor to purchase my ticket or to secure Pullman accommodations, I have had people attempt to pick up my bag and walk off with it. Of course they immediately apologized and I could not accuse them of stealing it, so I hit upon the plan of attaching it to my wrist, from the time I leave my apartment until I and finally seated in the train. It is truly remarkable how few people now attempt to take my bag by mistake—Washington Star. Many Towns Have Same Name. New towns now have to consult the Post Office department before choosing a name. When no supervision was exercised, two towns of the same name in the same state were sometimes established. Much duplication exists as it is. The buffalo, which is almost extinct, is perpetuated in the names of 23 post offices in different states. There are 28 Washington's, 27 Madisons, 26 Cleveland's, 25 Monroes, 23 Lincoln's, 22 Jacksons, 17 Grants, 17 Taylors, Adams and Jeffersons; the Harrisons and Roosevelt number 16 each. The Union is perpetuated in the name of 25 post offices. Independence is emphasized by post office names in 20 states. Faith, Hope and Charity are post office names, each of which has been used more than once. Largest Cargo Through the Canal. Largest Cargo Through the Canal. A new record for tons of cargo carried through Panama canal was set by the steamship Marore, of the Ore Steamship corporation, when she made the transit of the canal on July 19 with 20,000 tons of iron ore, bound from Cruz Grande, Chile, to New York. The previous record was set by a sister ship of the Marore, the Bethore, making the transit on May 29 with 19,000 tons of ore. The Marore was drawing 33 feet of water at time of transit, the Bethore 32 feet 6 inches. —Panama Canal Record.

Burke and Hare were two notorious body-snatchers, or resurrectionists, who carried on their infamous trade in Edinburgh. William Burke was born in Ireland in 1792, and went to Scotland as a laborer about 1817. In 1827 he was living in a cheap lodging house kept by another Irish laborer named William Hare. About the end of 1827 one of Hare's lodgers, an army pensioner, died, and Burke and Hare sold the body to Dr. Robert Knox, an Edinburgh anatomist. Hare thereupon suggested body-snatching as a business and Burke agreed. The two men then started in to entice poor travelers to Hare's or some other cheap lodging house. The victims were plied with liquor and then suffocated under mattresses, without marks of violence. Doctor Knox took the bodies and paid up to £14 ($90) for them. At least 15 people had been murdered in this way before Burke and Hare were arrested. Hare turned king's evidence, and Burke was found guilty and hanged in Edinburgh on January 28, 1829. Hare found Scotland too hot for him and went to England, where he is believed to have died under an assumed name. The verb "to burke," meaning to suffocate, to strangle, to suppress, or to put out of the way secretly, had its origin in Burke's method of doing away with his victims. WHERE GREAT EXPLORER LIES South Georgia Island, Tomb of Shackleton, Lonely Spot in the Great Antarctic Region. An interesting picture of life in South Georgia Island, the "Gateway of the Antarctic," where Shackleton was buried, was given by an explorer who made a research expedition there a few years ago. At that time there was only one woman on the island, and she was the domestic in the household of Capt. C. A. Larsen, a former Antarctic explorer who had settled down as head of a Norwegian whaling station on the island. "Below my solitary tent," the correspondent writes, "the grassy bank sloped sharply to a milk-colored glacial stream entering an inlet of the sea only 50 yards away. A quarter of a mile across the inlet stood the perpendicular front of a beautiful valley glacier, coming down between peaked hills from the lifeless, silent interior. Penguins bobbed out of the sea below the glacier and were my most interesting callers for their curiosity could not resist a human being. Sea elephants crawled inconvenently up the stream below me and went to sleep among the hummucks on the beach. Above the tent, on the plateau of the little promontory, seven pairs of albatrosses carried on their courtship and nesting, along with petrels, skuas, kelp gulls and the pretty little antarctic titars, the only land bird of the Far South, whose cheerful song was almost the sole homelike sound." Details Needed. A woman, blessed with a masterful disposition and considerable property, died, leaving behind her a will in which her husband was cut off with a dollar, on the ground that he had deserted her a year before. The lawyer finally located the man and broke the news gently by telling him that he had received only a small bequest. "How much?" carelessly asked the man. "One dollar." With the same carelessness, the man turned toward the door. Just as he reached it, however, a sudden thought struck him. "Say," he called back anxiously. "Did she specify what I was to do with this dollar?" Sarcasm From the Grave. The will of Alexander Louis Teixeira de Mattos, the English translator of Fabre, Maeterlinck, Copperus, Zola and many other continental writers, contains one bequest that will interest a good many booklovers who have loaned their favorite volumes not wisely but too well—at any rate, too generously, says the Living Age. The estate of Mr. de Mattas was not large, its gross value amounting to less than £3,000 ($15,000), and many of his bequests take the form of books. He leaves books to many of his friends. One volume in particular is left to a certain friend and is described as one "which he borrowed many years ago and has not returned." Increased Tractor Power. A new attachment designed to give the small tractor greater bearing area and increased pulling power, replaces the round wheels with two large sprockets, according to an illustrated article in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Outside of each sprocket is a cast-steel arm which projects forward and downward, carrying at its front end a smaller idler wheel. A track tread passes around the sprocket and idler wheel, giving the tractor increased bearing area. Lightest of Liquids. Many experiments here and abroad have shown that liquid hydrogen is by far the lightest of all known liquids. Its density is one-fourteenth that of water, and, curiously enough, this happens to be the same ratio of density that hydrogen in the gaseous state bears to air. For long the lightest liquid known was liquified parsish gas, which possesses about two-fifths of the density of water.—Washington Star.
