ALDERMAN HARRIS IS SIDED Associated Negro Press New York, Jan. 27.—The biggest appointment of an able Colored citizen that has ever been made by a New York mayor was that of Ferdinand Q. Morton to be a civil service commissioner of New York City. The appointment was a partial recognition of the tremendous black vote which Mr. Morton as chief of the United Colored Democracy had led into Tammany Hall at the last election and secondly a deserved recognition of one of the most able and popular Democrats regardless of race in New York City. The appointment of Morton was to the place on the commission of the three guardians of the civil service held by Commissioner Killilea. The commission now consists of Commissioner Kaplan, Morton and Drennan, the last named Republican. His appointment means a great step forward for the Colored citizens in New York and a larger place for them in the city employ. It is generally believed that Morton would have been named a magistrate to succeed Judge Mancuso but the alternative was given him after another was named as the commission portfolio. Mr. Morton was born in Mississippi in 1882 and moved with his family at an early age to Washington where he attended and graduated from the public and high schools. He entered Harvard College after graduation and later finished Boston University Law School. He came to New York and entered actively in the practice of law and plunged into politics. His rise has been meteoric and deserved. It is not known as to who will be given Mr. Morton's place in the District Attorney's office, but it is rumored that Attorney James McClendon will be given one of the deputy assistants. Alderman George W. Harris who was given his certificate and sworn in for his second term two weeks ago has taken his seat in the front rank of Republicans at the Aldermanic Chamber. He was the recipient of many congratulations. FATHER AND SON BANQUET AT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Tuesday night the spacious dining room of Zion Baptist Church was comfortably filled for the Father and Son banquet in which several organizations and churches united.

Botts. Addresses were made by Dr. L. E. Britt, for the Colored Commercial Club; by the Rev. J. Harris for the N. A. A. C. P., and by the Rev. Russell Taylor for the Ministerial Union. Henry Gordon spoke on the boy's view of "A Father's Duty to His Son," and Worthington Williams on "A Son's Duty to His Father." Mr. J. F. Bryant spoke on "Co-operation," and the Rev.

COLONEL YOUNG ANSWERS SUMMONS AT LIBERIAN POST Distinguished Army Officer Who Held Highest Rank Ever Attained By Any Man of His Race in the United States, is Dead. WAS AN INTERESTING FIGURE Graduated From West Point With Honor and Served His Country With Loyalty. and Distinction. Should Have Been a General, Washington, D. C., January 27.—Taps, the final requiem of the army for its dead, have been sounded for Colonel Charles A. Young, retired, of Tenth Cavalry fame and the highest ranking officer of the Regular United States Army of the race. A cablegram, sent from Monrovia, Liberia, to the War Department Thursday, January 19, reported the death of this famous warrior, who stood out as one of the most interesting and picturesque figures in American Army life. The cause of his death was not included in the cablegram. For more than a decade, Colonel Young's military activities have been closely followed, and the news of his demise in Liberia comes as a hard blow. An Interesting Figure. A native of Ohio, where he was born in 1864, Colonel Young early showed an inclination for love of the rigid life of the soldier. During his boyhood days, close friends relate, he was never so happy as when engaged in a miniature battle against some real or imaginary enemy. After graduating from the high school at Ripley, Ohio, he was certified to West Point, from which institution he was graduated, after a strenuous struggle against the usual odds with which a Colored man has to contend. In speaking of his school days at West Point, Colonel Young has often said that the harder prejudice was OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1922 (By Courtesy of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce) brought to bear against him, the more determined he became to make himself the best in everything he undertook. Organized Ninth Ohio. In 1898, at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Colonel Young organized the Ninth Ohio. He saw service in the Philippines and Mexico, and was in a number of battles. He was in command of a squadron of the famous Tenth Cavalry. General Pershing had charge of the punitive expedition which had been sent down into Mexico against Villa, Captain Boyd and Lieutenant Adair and his men were ambused near Parral. The news of the plight of these men was despatched to General Pershing, who sent Colonel Young and his men to their relief. Needless to say, the Tenth arrived in the nick of time, but the affair brought the American and Mexican governments to the verge of hostilities. Then in 1917, like a bolt in the clear sky, came the news that Colonel Young had been retired from active service because of physical disability, Telegrams and letters flooded Washington, when the rumor was first heard. Both President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker assured Kelly Miller and others who protested against Colonel Young's retirement, that justice would be done. A letter dated July 20, was written to Kelly Miller from Mr. Baker to this effect. However, it was later found out that Young had been advanced to the rank of Colonel and retired from the service, his retirement being dated, it is reported. June 22, indicating that his retirement was agreed to at the time the letters by the former President and Secretary of War had been written Every Inch a Man. The Monitor was one of the news papers which bitterly opposed Colonel Young's retirement and was one of the first papers to publish the fact that he was at the Presidio "for observation." A personal letter elicited this reply,which shows the caliber of the man, and his love for his country August 14, 1917. Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor of The Monitor. Vol. VII—No. 30 Dear Friend: I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for your letter relative to my retirement from active service of the army. S. O. No. 175, War Department retires me from active service with the rank of Colonel and places me on active military duty wit hthe Militia, State of Ohio. Since the Militia is mustered into service, I am, so far as that goes, jobless at this date. It seems regrettable for both the country and our people, for I could have done good work for both, but as the President willed it and ordered it, I submit cheerfully like a soldier. He is the Commander-in-Chief, you know. Perhaps I may yet be able to convince the authorities that I am not sick, and thus be permitted to serve. While I know the chagrin that many of our people and not a few whites feel in this regard, still I pray that there shall be no word of protest at this time. Let us not embarrass the administration which has only too many serious problems on its hand anyway. We love our country too well not to desire its early success in this war. If its interest can be best subserved by the attitude, which in spite of ourselves and our desires, seems to be shaping itself toward Colored officers, we are too broadminded not to allow it free hand. Be assured that I shall guard my health and keep abreast of the military profession until such time as I may be needed. I hope the war will be won so easily that this need may not come. I have no personal ends to serve in this matter nor am I impelled by any ambitions. In spite of the finding of the doctors in my case (and I believe them sincere and perfectly honest and upright in their dealings) still I am not now or have I felt a sick moment. I believe my case is a super-normal one in which the high blood pressure is compensatory for the great amount of work that in recent years has fallen to my lot in the Tropics and I believe such to be the final opinion of the board. But let it go as it is. I mention this fact to simply reassure any and all that physically I believe myself in condition to render as full and as strenuous service as ever when the occasion arises. Again thanking you for your kindly interest, I am. Yours cordially, CHAS. YOUNG. Col. U. S. Army, retired. Later he was appointed Military Attaché to the Republic of Liberia, in which capacity he served until his death. During his career Colonel Young had done special work for the government in Haiti, was military Governor of Liberia, and Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Wilberforce University. COL, YOUNG TRAVELED FROM XENIA, OHIO, TO CAPITOL AS TEST OF PHYSICAL FITNESS "From Xenia, Ohio, to Longbridge, Va., on horseback, and from Longbridge, Va., to Washington, D. C., on foot!" That is what Colonel Charles Young, famous military character, who died in Liberia, Thursday, did in 1918, "to show the War Department that, physically, he was able to endure the hardships of the rigorous army life." The incident has been recalled clearly, and stands out as an example of the man himself. Simple, direct, and using practical illustrations to carry home his point, Colonel Young, by his wonderful display of endurance, proved to his race at least, that the "physical disability" clause, by which he was retired from active service in the army was merely a farce. Following his retirement, the Colonel went to his home at Wiberforce. Pondering over the situation, he came to the conclusion that the best way to convince people of his physical condition was by a practical demonstration. Forthwith, he saddled "Old Reliable," the same army mount that had carried him through many a rigorous hikes, and set out for Washington. He rode from Xenia, Ohio, to Longbridge, Va. Then dismounting, he hiked to Washington, D. C., a distance of 16 miles, and presented himself to Secretary of War Baker. He was assigned to Camp Grant, Illinois. COL. YOUNG TO BE BURIED AT WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY Washington, D. C., Jan. 27.—The body of Colonel Charles A. Young, noted war figure, who died in Liberia, will be returned to this country and will be laid to rest at Wilberforce beside the body of his father. SOUTH SIDERS LEAVE FOR AFRICA Perry R. Warner and John Robertson, both of the South Side, left last Saturday for New York City, from which port they expect to sail shortly for Liberia, Africa. The couple will make their future home in Liberia. They plan to enter into the business life of the Black republic and help to develop the country. Robertson is a native of Africa, Warner of Louisiana. An elaborate entertainment was arranged for the parting citizens on Friday night. A banquet and a set program was given. Attorney A. W. Lewis was among the speakers present. The entertainment was given under the auspices of the Colored business men of the South Side, of which Mr. P. M. Harris, versatile proprietor of the P. M. H. barber shop and noted eloquent speaker is chairman. He was chairman of the committee on arrangements and toastmaster of the occasion. He also made the presentation of the gifts to the departing friends. In presenting the presents the toastmaster said in part: "We have met here tonight to do honor to friends who have been with and among us for many years and whom we have come to esteem highly. But they are embarking upon the briny deep whose shores will rest them upon the native soil of our forefathers. We attempt to emphasize that esteem by presenting gifts. But none more fully than we realize our inability to give equal to our esteem. But since the intrinsic value of giving does not consist in the gift itself but rather in the spirit that prompts the giver, I have the honor to present to you in the name of this body of Omaha citizens these few tokens of our affection for you and the cause in which you are venturing to engage." And now comes Tangier Temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of Omaha with the announcement that the Temple will put on Agee's All Star Winter Circus in the Omaha Auditorium the week starting Monday, February 6th. Performances will be given both afternoon and night on a large elevated stage, fitted up with a regulation circus ring. Winter circuses are new to the west.

New York, Jan. 27.—J Frank Wheaton, far famed as a lawyer, orator and Past Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E., committed suicide at his home Sunday, morning, January 17, by use of gas, as announced by the medical examiner. No motive can be assigned as the cause for his suicide. His friends know that he was very much worried about the escape of a man on whose bond he went for $10,000.00, but they did not think this weighed so heavily upon his mind. But it is known that he commented upon the sudden departure of the man as being a bitter disappointment. Had Notable Career. Mr. Wheaton was fifty-six. He was born in Hagerstown, Md. He was a former Assistant District Attorney, a member of the legislative body at Minneapolis, and a practitioner at the bar for fifteen year in New York City. He was Grand Exalted Ruler of the Independent Benevolent Order of Elks of the World, and under his administration, the order grew to its highest point of popularity and achievement. He was always consulted in all matter pertaining to Elkdom The end came on Sunday morning at or about eleven o'clock. He left his friends, Napoleon Marshall, Gilchrist Stewart and Ferdinand Moton, on Saturday night, in the very best of cheer. His wife says he appeared in good spirits on Sunday morning. He kissed her as she left for church, and then went and wrote her a farewell letter, left it for her hands to find upon her return, and went to the bath room, turned the gas on by using the shower tube, and there took gas until the end came. Death Stirs Harlem. His death stirred all Harlem. He was known as Frank by everybody, everywhere. He was successful in his profession, successful in political circles, and as an Elk, he was the idol of the Herd. His sudden leavestaking is all the more sad because he had nothing to worry about, or to cause him depression. He possessed a bright mind, keen insight, had a wonderful delivery as an orator, and a most affable disposition. He was gentlemanly under all circumstances, and demeaned himself like a gentleman at all times. He leaves a peculiar niche in Negro life and development. ALLEN A. M. E. CHURCH The Rev. C. J.

THE ASSOCIATED MILRO PRESS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE TAPS FOR COLONEL YOUNG News of the death at his post in Liberia of Colonel Charles Young will be received with profound regret by thousands who knew and loved him. Nor is this regret confined to members of his own race of which he was such a worthy and distinguished member. He had hosts of admirers and friends among soldiers and civilians of the dominant race, for he was that type of man who commanded esteem among all with whom he came in contact. Entering West Point Military Academy where he encountered the traditional race prejudice of that institution, he so conducted himself as a gentleman and a scholar that he practically revolutionized the sentiment there and was graduated as one of the most popular men in his class. The key to his success there is found in the fact of his determination to combat prejudice by making himself the best in everything he undertook. This characteristic was dominant throughout his military career. Known as one of the strictest disciplinarians in the Army, Colonel Young was idolized by the men of his command. The affection and admiration in which he was held by the gallant black troopers of his command disapproved the fiction, widely promulgated with design, that Colored men will not serve successfully under Colored officers. The revulsion of feeling against the administration which swept across the country in 1917 when Lieutenant-Colonel Young was retired "for disability," demonstrated not only his popularity, but the fact that our race was not hoodwinked by the transparent hypocrisy of the trick, the purpose of which was to prevent his promotion to a general, 250 of whom were appointed immediately following Young's retirement. Colonel Young subsequently submitted his fitness by his long horseback ride from Xenia to Washington. His conduct upon his retirement, although it was a keen disappointment to him, was worthy of the man. His letters to friends, who had written him, and to the race press, bespeak the man. He was intensely interested in every movement for the advancement of his race and took special delight in encouraging young men to develop the highest and best in them. A soldier by profession who served his country loyally and maintained an untarnished record, Charles Young was also a musician and composer of merit, and a writer of ability. He was a credit to America and a representative of our race to whom we may point with pride. Taps have sounded for a valiant soldier. "Soldier, rest! thy warfare o'er; Dream of fighting fields no more; Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Morn of the toil, nor night of waking." DEATH OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF The passing to his reward of the spiritual head of 300,000,000 Christian people is an event in which the whole world is interested. This general interest is heightened by the fact that the latest incumbent of the historic See of Rome was a man not only of high intellectual gifts, but of the broadest charity and human sympathy and singular sweetness of character. Those who had met and known Pope Benedict XV, spoke of these as dominant notes of his character. There can be no doubt that he was an ardent advocate of peace and that he was sore distressed when he realized his impotence to stay the strife even between the European Roman Catholic countries which acknowledged his spiritual oversight and supremacy. Perhaps the most noteworthy achievement of his rather brief pontificate was the advance made towards a better understanding and relationship between the Vatican and the Italian state, between which there has been hostility since 1870.

AN IMPROVEMENT The Monitor has been pleased to notice an improvement in our local daily press in the reporting of alleged crimes. In two or three cases the Omaha Bee did not mention the nationality of the criminal. The World-Herald did not headline "Negro;" it headlined the holdup and in the body of the article stated that the culprit was a Negro. We are gratified to notice this change in the reporting of alleged crimes, which stresses the crime rather than the race or nationality of the criminal. THE WILL TO WIN In times of discouragement men and women are prone to lose heart and give up the struggle. This is all wrong. Where there is the will to win, and the dogged determination to hold out success will eventually come. The only real failure is the failure to try to do one's level best. And if after having done one's best the expected results do not immediately come, don't give up, keep on trying. I'm weary of this life on earth—My soul and I. The "second birth" I'd greet with joy. To find release From pain, one hour of peace, Would give my longing soul surcease; And yet the Master holds me here. Why? He knows best, and I through fear Do hesitate to cut the breath That separates my soul from death. Not that I fear the after life, Since all these years of pain and strife To sleep the sleep of peace and rest Would surely be for me the best. But since the Father wills it so, It cannot be my time to go. And so I fear 'twould not be brave To force the issue that I crave. So I will bide the Master's time And bow unto His will sublime. MRS.

EXPECT PATIENT TO SURVIVE United States Suffers Chiefly From Excess of High Temperature and Deficiency of Moisture—Some Recent Disasters. New York.—The old spheroid known as the earth is emerging from what some human diagnosticians might call a severe attack of meteorological mumps. It has been accompanied by an intermittent fever, manifested in a world-wide heat wave of unusual length and intensity. In spite of crises and relapses, earthquakes, tidal waves, cloudbursts, typhoons, waterspouts, hallstorms, floods and hurricanes in many widely separated parts, from Kamchatka to Cape Horn and from Guam to Guadaloupe, the doctors are confident the patient will recover. Meanwhile the United States for the last year has been suffering chiefly from an excess of high temperature and a deficiency of moisture, a condition unprecedented in the fifty years' history of the weather bureau. Suffers Heat Waves. The persistent higher temperatures, for which a number of speculative explanations have been given, began in August, 1920, and for the succeeding twelve months there was an average monthly excess above normal of 3.4 degrees. March, 1921, an unusually warm spring month, had an excess average of 10.8 degrees. The first slight break in the record occurred last August, which was slightly below normal. In the nine months' period beginning in October, 1918, and ending in July, 1919, the average monthly temperature was 2.71 degrees above normal, and this was a record until sun spots, sea bottom upheavals or other hypothetical causes sent the mercury still higher. The highest average temperature ever recorded in this country for the month of March, weather officials say, was 48.3, in March, 1921. The average temperature for April, 1921—55 degrees was the warmest for that month in half a century. May and June were not unusual, but July broke all records for the preceding eleven years. Weather bureau officials here declined to discuss the possible connection between the present high temperatures and disasters of nature in many parts of the world. A glance back for recent disasters and natural phenomena shows the following: Two million Koreans starving in Manchuria owing to drought-rulined crops. Three hundred buildings wrecked and many killed by hailstorm and waterspout at Baez, Cuba. Three volcanoes, Villarica, Llaima and Lainn, spout flames more than a thousand feet from craters. Drought kills fish in river Seine and France suffers most severe drought in 47 years. Rhine and Mosele rivers do great damage in highest flood in 136 years. Cloudburst and hallstorm damage at Rome, Italy. Mount Vesuvius shows activity and earthquake shock is felt from Leghorn to Lake Lugino. Italian destroyers carry inhabitants to safety as volcano Stromboli resumes activity. Damage of several million drachmas done in Greece by severe hallstorms. Earth Blocks Canal. Earth blocks Corinth canal. Cyclone devastates three towns in Haiti. Volcano Kilauea in Hawaii spouts immense fountains of lava. Activity of the volcano Popocatapetl in Mexico increasing. in Mexico increasing. Earthquake shakes Vera Cruz and four other cities. Lightning strikes oil wells, causing millions of dollars damage in Tampico and other districts. Mexicans pray to "water goddess" to end drought. Volcano Colima in Jalisco is in eruption.

DANIEL BOONE, THE GREAT KENTUCKIAN Daniel Boone was the son of Quaker parents who lived in Pennsylvania. Although the principal doctrine in the Quaker creed is that man must not kill, Daniel departed from the faith of his fathers early and he became one of the greatest Indian fighters in American history. When Boone was eighteen his parents moved to North Carolina and in the Yadkin valley of that state, young Boone became an expert woodman and hunter. Attracted by the tales of a hunter who had crossed the Appalachians into the unknown Kentucky country, Boone visited the Blue Grass state several times until he finally decided to make that country his home. In 1775 he established Boonesborough, the first outpost of civilization in the "Dark and Bloody Ground," as Kentucky was called because it was a battleground for many tribes of Indians. Boone's adventures with the Indians in his new home were innumerable. In 1778 he was captured by the Shawnees, who admired the scout's courage so much that he was not put to death. Instead Chief Black Fish adopted him, giving him the name of Big Turtle—rather an inappropriate title for a man so active. Boone pretended to be well-pleased with his captivity and after several months the watchfulness of the savages relaxed. Then he made his escape. Several years later this same band of Shawnees came to Boonesborough to kidnap their former captive. They found Boone in a little shanty used for drying tobacco. "Now Boone, we got you," said the Indians. "You no get away this time." "Yes, you have me but I am glad to go with you," replied the scout, "but I want my friends to have some of this tobacco." He gathered up a number of the dryest leaves and, unseen by the Indians, crushed them in his hands. Before they could move, he threw the powdered tobacco into their eyes. As the blinded savages rolled on the floor howling and digging at their eyes, the former "Big Turtle" showed unexpected speed and was far up the trail to the fort before they could pursue him. In his later years Boone was cheated out of the rich Kentucky lands he had fought so hard to win and he migrated to Missouri, becoming a hunter once more. He died there in 1820 at the age of eighty-six. A quarter of a century later Kentucky paid him belated honor by removing his body to the capital of the state and today Daniel Boone sleeps in the land where he won fame as a pioneer and scout. Braille characters are, of course, read with the fingers, but one armless blind man has been taught to read with his tongue. 'CORPSE' TAPS ON COFFIN LID Japanese Woman Supposed to Be Dead Is Removed From Coffin and Lives Two Days Longer. Tokyo.—The story of a woman who knocked on the lid of her coffin after it had been prepared and sealed for burial has been revealed by the Japan Times and Mail. It is stated that the woman apparently died one morning and arrangements were immediately made for the funeral. Priests were sent for and the usual service read over the coffin. Suddenly the priests and others heard a feeble knocking inside the coffin. The lid was removed and the mourners found that the woman was alive. They called her name, She replied: "I am thirsty. Give me some water." Water was given and she was removed to her bed, but died two days later. Get One Chance to Marry. During times of Albanian feuds, which amount to tribal warfare, women attend largely to outdoor duties. Marriage is by contract; generally arranged upon the birth of a child. A woman exercises no choice, but has a veto power in respect to her husband. Should she not wish the man of her parent's arrangement, she may reject him; but, in that event, must take vows to remain a virgin, assume the status of a man, and in some regions she dons men's clothing. Should she marry another man, her rejected suitor's family must seek blood vengeance upon her male relatives—National Geographic Society Bulletin. Literary Lid Is Off. Some of our story writers are running riot with their similes. Here are a few we gathered in our late reading: "Her lips quivered like a light auto." "He edged nearer to her until he was almost as close as the air in the subway." "But his mind, like her face, was made up." "Her hair stepped on her pailid cheek like seaweed on a clam." he has cheek like seaweed on a clam." "He gazed anxiously at her face, the way a person in a taxi gazes at the face of the meter."—Boston Transcript. Persia of Today Young Persia. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) Unlike Babyblonia, Assyria and Chaldea, which existed little longer than during their periods of great power, Persia, once the peer of any of them, has maintained its entity through an ebb and flow of fortune, down to the present day. And now the World war may be said to have caused the "redscovery" of this historic country, though its recent alignment with soviet Russia holds out possibilities that it may not receive from the Western world the refuenation that was promised. Darius would fail to recognize as his mighty empire the narrow limits of modern Iran, its borders now far withdrawn from the waters of the Oxus and the Indus, from the shores of the Mediterranean and the widespread Mesopotamian plains; but the nucleus still is there in territory, race, language and customs. Persia of today includes within a territory still three times the size of France, ancient Media, mountainous Parthia and the province of Pars, whence sprang her first great dynasty. Such monuments to the glory of the great kings as the ruined capitals of Susa, Persepolis and Ekabatana still stand on Persian soil. The majority of the present inhabitants, although tinged with the blood of Greek, Arab, Turk and Mongol conquerors, are the inalec desendants of the original Iranian, or Aryan, population, and speak a language which has for its basic element the ancient Persian tongue. Sultan Ahmed Shah, the one hundred fifty-sixth "king of kings", sits on the tottering Persian throne, while the future of his kingdom rests in the hands of outside powers. Vast Desert Plateau With Oases. Modern Persian, with the exception of the prosperous northwest province of Turkish-speaking Azerbaijan and the semi-tropical region between the Elburz mountains and the Caspian sea, can be characterized as a vast, mountain-ribbed desert plateau, studied here and there with oases which most frequently form ribbons of fertile green fringing the desert at the bases of sterile mountain slopes from whose snow-clad summits comes the life-giving moisture. The encircling mountain walls shut out the rain from the central table land. Rivers with sources but no mouths flow half the year and lose themselves in the parched desert wastes. The density of population is less than that of Texas, and more than half the country is an uninhabited Sahara, some of it unexplored. Much of the remainder is suitable only for sheep-grazing part of the year, thus forcing upon a fourth of her ten million people a semi-nomadic existence between the high, well-watered mountain valleys in the summer and the warm plains in the brief winter season. Some of these tribes, like the Kurds, rarely leave their mountain homes, where they exist independently of central government control. Others, like the Ghashgahs and Baktariis, sometimes by coercion and sometimes through necessity of political alliance, are vassals of the state, although they pay allegiance only to their chiefs, who arrange with regal authority for their followers the matters of taxes and military service. Cities are naturally few and small, there being but two or three of more than 100,000 inhabitants. The lower mountain valleys and the oases are the centers for both town and agricultural population, and the wonderful fertility of these scattered areas, snatched from the blighting grasp of the desert, forms the basis for the startling contrasts in the climate of this unusual country. Water is the chief concern of the Persian peasant. Wherever he can divert the flow of a mountain stream or build a crude canal from a well or spring, a small portion of the desert becomes a paradise and he pros- When Hens Begin Laying Owner Will Pay Alimony When the hens begin laying Antoneta Sluka of Detroit, Mich., will get her alimony from her husband, James, who was recently brought before Judge Webster for nonpayment. He explained to the judge that he is in the chicken business and the hens have been on a strike. As soon as he can induce them to lay he will pay up. The writ of attachment was dismissed. pers. Certain of these regions are said to be among the most fertile in the world, producing in abundance not only the finest of wheat and barley, but grapes, apricots, peaches, nectarines, pomegranates, figs and melons which are unsurpassed among the fruits of the temperate zone. Cotton and tobacco thrive, and roses, as well as other flowers, gloriously deserve the frequent association of their names with that of Persia. Now Has Chance to Develop. The day is at hand as one of the by-products of the war, when Persia has the opportunity to begin to learn from British experts, not only how to reclaim more desert land by building better aqueducts and by throwing barrages across mountain gorges to store the surplus of the spring freshets, but how to establish closer communication with the outside world and to develop her great potential resources. Lacking in the energy, initiative and co-operative spirit necessary to develop their country themselves, the Persians have suffered from the jealous rivalry of their neighbors, and from a seclusion forced by nature, but belied by their central geographical location, in all the recent history-making disturbances in the Near and Middle East. In spite of her position as a veritable Asiatic Belgium, Persia is strangely cut off from world intercourse by those same natural barriers which so affect her climate. At the opening of this century not a single highway suitable for wheeled conveyances pierced the mountains to the platan. A few foreign officials and infrequent venturesome travelers made their toilsome way by caravan over tortuous passes to the Persian capital or to other Persian cities, and the Persians themselves for the most part stayed at home. But about 1900 a government-subsidized Russian company opened a post road, as a military-commercial venture, which climbed from the Persian port of Enzail, on the Caspian sea, to the capital city, Teheran. Five years ago three or four post-carriage routes and a narrow-gauge railway running five and a half miles from Teheran to a suburban shrine were the only competitors of the pictureque but slow-moving caravan. Teheran's Fine Location. Teneran's Fine Location. No one knows how long there has been a city where the present capital of Persia stands. It has not always been called Teheran, nor has it always been in the same spot; but a city has existed in the locality as far back as Persian history reaches. Such a suitable site could hardly be overlooked. It is at an altitude of nearly 4,000 feet, at the foot of towering mountains, at the junction of three great Asiatic caravan routes, near mountain passes, and beside an ample supply of water. Favored in these ways, it has accumulated a population of more than 300,000 since the beginning of the Nineteenth century. The latitude is that of Cape Hatteras. The three summer months are exceedingly hot and dry, but if one wishes the luxury of a summer resort it is at his door. Although occupying an ancient site, Teheran is a modern city. It has been the capital of Persia only a little more than a century, and has been an important metropolis for a much shorter time than that. In journeying to Teheran from the Caspian sea, so sudden is the transition from desert to city that before one realizes that the journey is at an end he finds himself clattering across the stone causeway over the mont toward the most surprising of gateways, a great multicolored facade overlaid with a gay mosaic of glistening tiles and topped with numerous minarets ornamented in the same fashion. Teheran is one of those numerous cities between the Near and the Far East which calls for a modification of Kipling's oft-quoted line; for here East and West have met, but have not mixed.

New York Subway Insignificant In ‘Comparison With Insects’ Tunnelo— Wonderful Works of Cutting hike ts Conan, New York.—The subways and tum nels under the Hudson and East rivers have attracted attention throughout the world, aud by some have been named as one of the greatest engineer. ing feats in this era of wonderful feata, ‘Man has all the machinery that sct- ence could invent to assist him, cement ‘and stone to make the tunnels waters proof, instruments of precision to help him in driving the tunnels or subways in the right direction and at the proper level below the water line or street level. It is interesting to compare this work of man with similar works of the cutting ants in Texas. Compare the work of man with all his ma- chinery and instrements and that of the ants with only their Juws and per- haps one pair of legs which they use at a time, the size und length of the tunnel with that created by man, and, lastly, the relative size of the ants and man, and you must admit that taking all things into comparison the work of the ants fs of fur greater magnitude than that of man. Dr. Henry McCook states that Gen- eral Fountain, while stationed at Fort Clark, uoticed that the trop garden was constantly being raided by these ants, which stripped the vegetables of their leaves, compelling them to aban- don the garden, Another location was selected, surrounded by an Irrigation ditch, but before long the ants aguin appeared. ‘The officers thought that they had tunneled under the water, and one of them, skeptical of thelr abllity to accomplish such an engineering feat, investigated. He drained the irrigat- ing stream (some four or five feet wide), dug up the bed and traced the Insects’ trail from their point of enter- ing the garden to their old nest on the opposite side, ‘There are also other ac counts of thelr making galleries under the water, A furmer near Austin, to get rid of depredations of an immense colony of these ants near his home, had set his men to dig it up. To reuch the central nest he had traced the ants from a tree Inside his home premises, which they had stripped of leaves, to a point 669 feet distant ‘The nest occupied # space as large ag a small cellar, the lowest and main cave being as large as a flour barrel. From this point radiated the avenues over which the ants marched on thelr raids. Doctor MeCook, with the assistance of a civil engineer, proceeded to sur- vey the main course of the insects. In some places the tunnel was us deep as six fect heneath the surface, the aver- ‘age depth being about eighteen inches, At the “exit hole,” 484 feet from the nest, the tunnel was two feet deep. Besides this matn line there were two branch tunnels which deflected from the trunk line to gain entrance to a peach orchard 125 feet distant.

One “morning neu Fort Hills the Indians “ambushed ‘Tom’s, company and killed several of them, As they fled to the fort, figgins stayed behind, vowing “that he would get at least one Indian “before he retrented. He got bis In: dian, but just as be was preparing to mount his horse, Ranger Burgess, who was tying on the ground wounded, called out to him: “You won't leave me to the fudlans, will you, Toi?” Higgins stopped and attempted to litt Burgess onto is horse, but the frightened animal jerked the relus from Tom's hand and dashed madly away. “You'll have to try to craw! to the fort, Burgess,” said Tom, “and 1 sl stay belind and keep redskins off. ‘As Burgess crawled away, Wiggins ran in another direction to lead the approaching Indians away from bis wounded comrade. In a few minutes he was surrounded by the savages and they wounded him in the leg as he tled Into a deep ravine. He was newring the fort when three Indians rose up ‘before him, One of them red and ‘the ranger fell, wounded for the sec- ‘ond time. With @ wild yell the Indians rushed ‘at bim with uplifted tomahawks, but “Higgins rose once more and shot one of them dead. ‘The other two then at ‘tacked him with spears and toma- hawks. ‘Tom defended himself with bs knife until he was knocked to the ground by blow from a tomahawk whieh cut off one of his ears. Finally the ranger tore a spear trom the grusp of one of the Indians und thrust it through the body of the oth “er. He was pulled to his feet us the savage fell, The surviving warrior re treated toward Ms rifle and ‘Tor, un “daunted by his wounds, staggered aft. er him, ‘The unequal combat had been teen by the people in the fort, but they were afraid to come to his assistance inti! a brave woman, named Mrs Pursiey, cried out: “I will not see such # brave mao dle!" She sprung upon a horse and started to Higgins’ ald. Shamed by her ex ample, several men galloped after her, They reached the ranger Just at large party of Indians were ready to swoop down upon him. ‘They threw Higgins, fainting from loss of blood, across a horse and carried him back to the fort in safety.

OFFICIALLY REPORTED “DEAD” Ban Antomio, Tess, — America’s greatest woman World war hero, Miss Alene E. Frawley, who has’ been wounded and shot, buried alive and bombed, and carries seventeen wound stripes on her cout sleeve, now is fac- ing what she calls the toughest Job of all—that of proving to the world that she Js still alive! ‘And all this because, following the bombing of an emergency hospital tn the trenches at Chateau ‘Thierry, she was officially reported “dead” in the government war casualty records, “a. EL Fo"—thuc’s what the boys “over there” called her, because of her Initlals—headed for’ France two months after the United States en- tered the war. She Joined up with the Ninetieth division as a member of the United States army nurse corps, Survives Hospital Biast. Then things began to happen rapidly. Wound stripe after wound stripe went on her sleeve, At ‘Tours & hospital was blows up, All but two persons in the building were killed. She was one of the two, In another case a plece of shrupnel broke her finger, caromed and killed a man, Fourteen other wounds came, all while she was on the front, and ‘then the “fatal” blast when the trench hos- pital was blown to pieces, “Killed in action” was the report after her name. In the meantime American soldiers dug her out of the ruins and took her 0 & hospital, where she remained un- conscious for twenty-seven days, year and elght months later she left the hospital and was sent to the Walter Reed General hospital at Wash- ington, Miss Frawiey's mother and her step-father had long believed her dead. Several Installments of her war risk Insurance had been pald to the family. ‘Then came @ telegram stating that Miss Prawley's “body” was being sent to the hospital, Wondering why a “body” would be sent to @ hospital, the parents went to Washington, where they found Miss Frawley alive but feeble. Shortly after Miss Frawley was taken to San Antonio to recuperate in a cottage just outside the military reservation of Fort Sam Houston. At that time she weighed 86 pounds and was able to walk only gn crutches, Fi Today she weighs 162 and has dis- carded one of the crutches, Fighting to Change Records. And, in the meantime, everything is being done to blot out the record that she was “killed in action.” Mrs. Fraw- ley has made affidavits that Miss Alene E, Frawley ts her daughter and not an Impostor and the wheels are beginning to turn that will straighten out the mixup, Miss Frawley believes. Miss Frawley was born near Roch- ester, N. ¥. Her own father was a doctor and her mother was a trained nurse, Before going to Europe Miss Frawley had served as nurse in the Philippines, Ching, Hawail and in Panama. Besides her seventeen wound stripes this greatest woman hero wears a dis- Ungulshed service cross, the French crolx de guerre und many other lesser decorations, THIS MAN IS REAL GENIUS invents Auto Attachment That Will Pluck and Cook Stray Fowl.
