While it lost many inhabitants dur ing the war, care was taken to keep pairs and the cages are gradually being restocked with animals born in captivity. Strange foster families develop ed by the keepers who have learned the difficulties of compelling certain mothers to look after their young under the unnatural conditions they face in captivity. A few months ago a fine lion cub was entrusted to a small black fe male dog. The young lion is now five times as large as its foster mother and is developing a heavy mane Still he is as docile as a puppy and he and the little dog remain on the best of terms and play about to gether to the great joy of visiting children. -o SAY EDUCATION WOULD CHECK NEGRO MOVEMENT NORTH Oxford, 0., May 28 0P>—The pro viding of means for the education of the negroes is <jne way to keep them in the southern states and check the alarming movement of the blacks northward is the opinion of Dr. ,H.

According to Deap Minnich, one-third of the negro population of the state of Georgia has migrated to northern states. Dean Minnich said that unless the — negroes. are educated in the south they will continue to move north war4- His tour, he sai9, showed con clusively -that the attitude of south ern wmtes has changed from that of hostility to friendship in the matter of education of the negroes. It also showed that the standard of these negro educational institutions is steadily rising, and that the number of students matriculated in these ^various institutions is growing by leaps and bounds. AUtOISTS PAY TOLL Harrisburg, May 28 W)—Death abetted by carelessness, is gathering a large harvest this year at the railroad crossings in the state of Pennsylvania.

'In North Carolina and Tennessee j prohibition laws were tightened, in North Carolina by making the state laws conform with thfc Volstead Act and in Tennessee state by re vising old statutes. A previous law in North Carolina permitted a citizen to receive one quart of liquor every 2 weeks, and although that statute is superceded by the conformity act, courts may yet convict under the previous law, the state supreme court has held. Tennesee’s legislature passed a bill to make it a felony to trans port into the state liquor in quan tities of “one gallon or more,’’ or to move it from place to place within the state. Another act prohibits any person from giving away, setl'ng or furnishing for beverage purposes intoxicating liquor, the drinking of which “shall result in the impair ment of health or body or death of any other persons.” A third mea sure bans possession of still appar atus while a fuorth amends a pre vious prohibition law so as to strike out the words “for the purpose of sale” of liquor, and to prohibit the manufacture of whiskey. Alcohol, as contained in patent medicines and flavoring extracts, failed to find a majority of enemies in the South Carolina assembly. One bill to restrict the sale of flavoring extracts to female heads of house holds, and another restricting the sale of patent medicines containing alcohol, were voted down. ±icre aiso was iosi a um io maivc the buyer of whiskey a lawbreaker as well as the seller, us suggested to Congress by Representative Upshaw of Georgia. Prohibition failed to find" a place on the agenda of the Alabama legis lature. In the Virginia assembly the subject was discussed only during the closing session and then in a hum orous manner, according to the rec ords. -o LESS AIR MEANS GREATER COMFORT IS CLAIM OF DAYTON COMPANY Tire engineers have recognized for'years that if the carcess of a tire could be built so that it would overcome the weaknesses of rim cut, tread separation, and bulging wher. underinflated, that such a tire would prove revolutionary' in the nupiber of miles of service which it could be expected to deliver. This is true because it enables a tire to yield to road obstructions. It protects the tread from chipping and cutting and results in thousands of additional miles of ser vice. Practically all tires during the past ten years have been sold with a more or less provisional guaran tee, depending largely upon -the I maintenance of a high air pressure to protect the carcass from deter ionation. _ _ Therefore, the announcement: of the Dayton Rubber Mfg. Co. tnat Dayton Thorobred Cords were built to deliver their maximum service when underinflated comes as a re volutionary departure in tire con struction. It is in direct opposition to ojl the warnings of tii;e makers that a tire had to be highly inflat ed if the owner were to expect long service.t■ A' great step in ihe comfort and service which may be secured from the use' of automobile? is made by this announcement. , ■ Q ■ -- Mia? Earline and Della Garter are improving, from the Measles which kept them at home last week Df. Tupper Declares Christ necessity In Nation's Life Every nation that perished had heart disease is the way he puts spiritual Decay CHURCH GROWS AT GREAT RATE HE SAYS The services in the tent Sunday afternoon and night were indeed a great spiritual treat. There were entirely too few at tended in the afternoon, which shows that Our people do not care to attend services afternoons. At night the tent was well filled and an appreciative audience heard Dr. Kerr Boyce Tupper with profound interest. At the afternoon service, Dr. Tupper took for his subject the “Spiritual Life of America” Not withstanding the fact that <ve had no state religion this was essentially r. Christian Nation, is cl however a Christian people for there Pas yet much sin, to be classed as Chiistian. The growth of church membership, sbo-.ved we were making g;eat gains The chuhcii membership lined r-:p idly on the gains in nop.ilifion, the best test. He gave figures which showed that Catholics numbered about 14-million Protestants about 79mnillion. That was when they were both figured on the same basis. At the night service Dr. Tupper took for his text Matt. 9th chapter and the 45th verse. Jesus passed through all the cities and villages teaching* preaching, and healing all manner f diseases. His sermon was confined largely to Christ the teacher and preacher, who had never written any books, jrot eveh a lnie.—Oncehe had written some words in the sand. But in the absence of all this he outlives all others. Christ never referred to God, ex cept as My Father, Our Father and Your Father. . Christ he said was a necessity. Every nation that died had heart disease and was without Christ. DR. TUPPER TO DELIVER WONDERFUL LECTURES Dr. Kerr Boyce Tupper who prea cher at the tent Sunday afternoon and night is to speak three times this week at the JjSpray methodist church. These lectures will be on great church leaders. Tuesday night his subject will be John Knox the Presbyterian. Wednesday night, John Wesley the Methodist. Thurs day night, Charles Haddon Spurg eon the Baptist. 1 Dr. Topper’s lectures or sermons will enlighten many church members as to the great leaders who founded the church of which they may now be a part. Taking the course as a whole and hearing all three lectures shopld make all broader and better in every way. --o miss young Vindicated BY JUSTICE LEHMAN New York, May 28 <A>)—Supreme Court Justice Lehman, rendered a de cisron vindicating Miss 'Stella Lar rimore Young, actress who was namd by Ge raiding Farrar as one of the several correspondents in hei suit for divorce from Lou Tellegen. -o RAILROAD LABOR MEN WOULD ABOLISH RY.

'■ Millions Go Out On Strike Report from Ruhr Says Communists Ejecting Miners from the pits. Workmen guard* search passersby PEOPLE SEARCHED SAY THEY MISS MONEY Berlin, May 28 <A>)—Twi million miners and tens of thousands of met al workers are now on a strike ia the Ruhr, according to a special dis patch to Vossischezeiung. Although these figures are probably grossly over estimated it is believed that undoubtedly every mine center in the Ruhr is idle as a result of the tactics of communists who are vis iting pits and forcibly ejecting workers. No further disorders since yesterday are reported and casual ties for the week end stand at 7 killed and 93 wounded. Essen, May 28 t/Pi—Communists elements are still striving for the upper hand in Dortmund, where dis orders in the Ruhr on account °f strikes and Communist activities ap pear to be centered. The workers guards took up positions in the streets and searched all passersby ostensibly for fire arms but many complained that their money and valuables had been taken. Terrorists methods at Dortmund was preceded by bitter fighting between Commun ists and blue police. At a nearby mine police were driving off Com munists after two police were kill ed and 11 wounded fatally. Com munists left two dead and carried awiay many wounded. GERMAN GIRLS PREFER STRIKE PAY TO WORK Essen, May 28 <A>)—Thousands of' women and girls have been thrown out of work due to the closing of factories in the Ruhr as an outcome of French and Belgian occupation, but nevertheless domestics are as difficult to acquire as in the cities of the United States. This is largely due to the fact that the women and girls draw strike funds of one kind, or another either from the munici palities or from the Berlin govern ment which usually amount, to more tjian they would receive for house hold services. In many instances the women are furnished lodging and food by the authorities and in addition as part of the passive resistance program they get a weekly allowance of marks as pin money. Near Essen and old Ger man barracks has been converted in to a sort of camp for unemployed women, and in this place alone more than 400 women are quartered. Germans say there was never a time in recent years when servants were so scarce as today. The French and Belgian officers families now in the Ruhr and Rhineland have the greatest difficulty in requisitioning cooks, maids and nurses, and often have to pay a premium to the Ger man women as an inducement to come and work for them.

Seven Killed In Car And Auto Crash Near Detroit, Mich. A CROSS SECTION OF HOSPITAL OPINIONS ON CLEANLINESS! One should have one’s suspicions about a highly colored and perfumed soap, according to E S Gilmore, superintendent of the Wesley Mem orial Hospital one of the largest'and most important hospitals of Chicago He says, “Crude oil gives a dark, colored soap, which can be refined to a certain extent, but as a rule if it is never to be marketed as a toilet soap, it is highly colored and per fumed to cover its peculiar color and odor. Dyes and Perfumes, how ever do not remove the irritating ef fect on the skin A highly colored and perfumed soap should be viewed with skepticism. “Soap to be harmless should be made from a pure fat. If colors and perfumes are used, generally it is to cover the fact that a pure fat was not used. Ordinarily, then, colored and perfumed soaps should be avoid ed.” “The old slogan 'cleanliness is next to Godliness’ rig'ntiy applies in some cases,” says Charles Crane, superintendent of the New Aochelle Hospital, New Rochelle, New York, ‘but I suggest that a pure soap routs germs would be a better one. r'eriume does not maxe a gooa soap, neither do fancy labels or soap packed in a pretty box. The so called ‘medicated soap’ with the ex ception of doctor’s liquid green soap in my estimation is bunk. I think that people should be just as care ful in their selection of soap as they are in their selection of food. Dr. A. B. Denison, director of the Lakeside Hospital of Cleveland, O., '■ Is equally pronounced He says, “The use of colored and perfumed soaps is certainly misleading. The value of the soaps can only lie in their aesthetic appeal and can in no way add to their cleansing qualities [ A pure soap, uncolored and unper | fumed, with warm water is probably [the most satisfactory. : Dr Malcom T. MasEachern, Di erector General of the Victorian Or der of Nurses for Canada, who is also President Elect of the American Hospital Association, says: “It is quite evident that either medicated or perfumed soaps may be more in jurious on account of certain in gredients added, than the simple, pure plain soap. Miss Alice P. Thatcher superin tendent of Christ Hospital, Mount Auburn, Cincinnatti, Ohio, takes a decided stand. She says: “We here at Christ Hospital believe in the sim plest soap and water cleansing for keeping the skin in a healthy nor mal condition and for years have used nothing but pure uncolored and unperfumed soaps for bathing purposes. We are of the opinion that a«y soap claiming do more than cleanse and protect the skin from damag ing influences, is a soap to be avoid ed, for never in our experience has it proved to be a panacea for skin troubles* GERMANS HONOR VOLTAIRE iBerlin, May 28. OP)—Voltaire is sharing in the Frederick the Great re vival which is spreading all over Ger many. The books of the eccentric French philosopher who lived so long at San Souci Palace, Potsdam with Frederick the Great are being offered in the bookshops along with the works of the idolized Prussian king. . The general hatred of Frenchmen because of the Ruhr occupation ap parently does not extend to Voltaire whose portraits are freely exhibited beside those of Frederick the Great. --o RUSSIA EXPORTING GRAIN Berlin, May 28 0P>—From 30 tc 70 carloads of Russian grain are ar riving at Reval daily for trans-ship ment to Germany.

This institution re fuses payment, saying it would rath er close up in Vladivostok and move to Harbin. The Yokohama Specie Bank, faced with the same situation is said to be closing its accounts. It the government persists in ex acting this percentage, Vladivostok will be without foreign banking fac ilities. -o FORMER GOVERNOR FOLK OF MISSOURI IS DEAD New York, May 28 UP)—Joseph W Folk, former governor of Missouri, and one of the leading men in the Democratic party died here this af ternoon. Mrfl Folk was frequently mention ed as a candidate for president. He achieved national fame as boodlep proceutor. -o DECLARE WOMEN CAUSE HALF OF WORLD’S WOES London, May 28 (A3)—Half the miseries of the western world are caused by women fighting against men, declared Dr. Joseph Oldfield, the eminent British physician, law yer and author, in a recent London address. In spite of countless ages, of experience, the doctor added, women hail failed to excel even in cooking, yet they set up as competit ors of men in all walks of life. “For more homes are made mis erable by envious women,” he said than by dominant or brutal men.” “Women”, continued Dr. Oldfield have been tinklers’ on the mandolin and piano thru all the ages but is among men that the creative music ians are found. In the sphere of art, also, Dr. Oldfield stid that although women had been busy painting their lips and faces, their nails and eyelashes for countless ages if one ought paintings which would create emotions of the highest and best character for all time, one has to go to paintings done by men. “Women are initiative and not creative, said the English critic. If search made in Westminister Abbey for records of the great women of England one will find a few actress es and courtesans, but none who were worthy of being commemorated as poets, painters, sculptors, invent ors, world pioneers or world bene factors. Saving charged women with neg lecting the most sacred duties of motherhood and with having selected the doubtful pleasures of politics and public life in place of it, Dr. Oldfield concluded by saying that ipen were superior and should be reverenced and until women were taught to be come affectionate junior comrades, in the co-partnership qf the sexes, there would be no eace in life. -—o Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Robertson and Miss Beulah Ward of Greeife boro were visitors at the Leaksville Inn, Sunday. I
