DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1923.

•'Mascot Jack" knows his master's lent and the brand of shoes his master wears. Arthur John Harold, the master, was a member of the 27th army Division In the World War. Harold, after his discharge, sold newspapers in Times Square, New York, until opportunity rattled his doorknob. He landed a job as walking representative for a shoe company, and started out on a hike through forty eight states. Harold's shoes outwore his first dog and the animal was burled by the wayside. His longing lor companionship led Harold to the dogpound in San Francisco. it was here he met ’ .Mascot Jack” a fox terrier pup. The dog has been with Harold on his' circuitous return to (lotham town, and knows the brand of shoes by their sntell. — oI NORTH GETTING WARMER Regions of North Pole Getting WarmJ Causing More Rain. By GUS M. OEH.M (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Berlin, Oct. 22. (United Press.) — The North Polar regions are growing warmer. That's why the north, temperate zone has had so muc h rain during the last two summers, experts declare. Explorers who have been threading] their way about the icy regions re-1 cently report they first noted the mod-! eration of the weather several years ago. Adventurers into frozen Northlands, declare they have even noticed flora i and fauna much farther north than' heretofore and that they have been able on recent trips, to penetrate farther and farther before leaving the ( open and iceless seas. The Norwegian explorer and geologist, Dr. Boel, in 1922, discovered coal deposits on the eastern side of Advent, Bay on the Island of Suitshergen. He , was able to navigate in free waters] as far north as’Sl 1-2 degrees and noted the Gulf Stream that far north as a surface stream. Ice Disappearing. Another Norwegian captain who has been cruising around the Eastern Polar seas for thirty-four years reports the ice melting in far northern regions was noted by him as early as 1918. Many regions have changed entirely in the meantime, ho declares.; Where formerly only ice and glacial formations were to be seen explorers now find earth and stone sticking out and many peninsulas of ice have dis-, appeared altogether. This explorer reported new' plant growths in hitherto icebound regions. Recent summers have been exceptionally bad for seal hunters, these far-bearing polar animals remaining' far north, avoiding their usual haunts along the Epitzbergen coast on account of the much warmer waters. Instead of these visitors, fishermen reported unusual schools of small fish which had never before been encountered in such quantity there. The water which hitherto had scarcely been as warm as degrees centigrade, now registers 15 degrees. This change in temperature, according to Professor Kassner, expert in' such matters, is not a permanent 1 moderation. It is connected in some way with the sun and will pass in j time,. though probably recurring w ithin thirty-five years. Dr. Kassner is authority for the statement that re-' cent summer rains are due to the moderation of the Polar temperatures.

The report was received today by Dr. Morris and out of the 351 cultures, 19 showed possitive diphtheria germs, a very large number, as It was expected that not more than two or three would develope. These 19 pupils will have to be isolated and remain away from school until the throats are cleared up. Dr. Morris was busy today serving notice on tile 19 pupils. o A. E. F. CEMETERIES Congress To Be Asked For Funds To Complete Cemeteries Abroad Washington, Oct. 22. —Congress .probably will be asked this winter to 'provide funds for completing the cemeteries in France where the American soldier dead sleep. Headstones to replace the wooden crosses which now mark the graves will b‘ asked for as part of the plan for permanent beautification of the American cemeteries. Charles Moore, chairman of the comm'ssion of fine arts, who, with Major H. L. Green, in charge of construction work in the permanent American cemeteries, has just finished 'an inspection of the American ceme tries, reports that all contracts for necessary buildings have been let and progress of the work thus far shows J that tlie results will be satisfactory. "Everything has been done to bring about a sense of good order, quiet and appropriations," said Moore. "There is no elaboration and no striving for unusual effects. “At Surenes, on the outskirts of Paris, the French government has been especially liberal by placing at the disposal of the cemetery authorities the entire wooden slope leading up to the French post. Mont Valerien. Guresenes is designed to be the gem among the American cemeteries because of American visitors, especially on Decoration Day. “At Belleau Wood the graves have been arranged in the form of a segment of a circle at the base of the cliff. “Th 1 largest of the American cemejteries is Romagne. In this cemetery the landscape lends itself to impressive treatment. The main road from the town of Romagne to Verdun runs directly through the cemetery. On one side the graves slope to the crest of the hill." At Belleau Wood alone, Moore said, more than 25,000 American visitors registered last year, indicating that Americans abroad are making shrines of the final resting places of those of the A. E. F.. who fell. 0 Indians Claim They Are Deprived of Own Money Chicago, Oct. 22. (United Press.) — Methods used by the United States Government in handling funds belonging to American Indians were attack'ed by spokesmen for the "Original 1 Americans" at a convention recently held here. Indian spokesmen complained that 'of $35,000,000 held in trust by the United States Commission of Indian 'Affairs, not a dollar is available to the Indian owners without the Commissioner’s consent. Further, they say, although the Government holds their money in trust they have no proof of ownership. "During some of the past hard times for us Indians," said Robert J. Hamilton of the Blackfoot tribe, from its reservation in Montana, “many of our people who were among the owners of this money in the bank found i themselves in great need, some in actual want. But they were denied the use of their money.” Hamilton alleges many instances of "big" and "petty" graft by Indian agents. "An agent in Oklahoma," he declares, defrauded Indians under his supervision of more than SIOO,OOO. Private investigators brought about this agent's conviction and he is serv-, ing a prison term now, but no recov- ] ' ery of the money was made, so far as 1 have been able to learn." o Blames Automobiles For Immorality of Youths (United Press Service) I Des Moines, la., Oct. 22. —Automomobiles are lowering the morals of school children. Chief of Police John B. Hammond charges in a letter to the board of education here. “Boys and girls crowded together in automobiles induce familiarities that should not be tolerated and are a menace to future welfare and hap I piness of the American home,” Ham- ( mond said. "Immorality dating back to high school days and induced by automo-] biles is the cause of most of divorces

among young couple*,” he stated “These case* are not confined to the ignorant—the educated, In fact, predominate.” High school "scandals" hero and In other cities were cited by Hammond to support his charges. "Make the children walk to school," Is his plea. Missionary Church At Berne To Open Revival Berne, Oct. 22. —Next. Thursday evening the second series of revival meetings in Borne, this fall, will open at the Missionary church. These meetings will be a follow-up of the threo-week revival compaign that is going on at present at the Evangelical church. The Evangelical series. It Is thought, will continue at least through next week and the two series will probably over-lap a few days, however, the meetings at both churches will not interfere as there should bo enough people interested in such campaigns that every church in Berne could conduct such meetings simultaneously. The Evangelical revival, under the direction of Rev. Erne, has been very successful and much interest has been manifested thus far. Ijarge audiences have been attending to receive the benefits of the meetings. The meetings which will open at the Missionary chulwh next Thursday will be led by the Evangelist N. W. Rich of Rocky Ford. Colo., under the auspices of Rev. Wm. Egle. Rev. Rich is well known in Berne, having been here last year, conducting a series of successful meetings at the Missionary church, at which time arrangements were made for his return this fall, to again hold meetings. Q ,—■— LARGER POTATO CROP Spraying Potatoes Against Insect Pest And Diseases Pays With few exceptions, large gains in yield have been obtained by spraying potatoes as a protection against insect pests and diseases, says Farmers' Bulletin 1349, Increasing the Potatoe Crop by Spraying, just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. This fact has been established by extensive experiments conducted in New York and Vermont. During a 10-year period, at different experiment stations in New York, an average gain of 60 bushel an acre was obtained. At the Vermont station, during a 20-year period, which involved all possible seasonal variation an average gain of 105 bushels an acre, or 64 per cent over the unsprayed. resulted. In addition, records taken from a business point of view on a series of experiments of a 9-year duration conducted by farmers under the direction of the New York State experiment station show large gains. The average cost of spraying, including materials, labor, and wear and tear on machinery, was $4.74 an acre. The 9-year average increase in yield due to spraying was 36 bushels an acre, making a net profit of $14.43 an acre. When these experiments were conducted the cost of materials was less than at the time the bulletin was written, but the increased product warrants an increased expenditure. Copies of the bulletin may be ob-

The Essence of Real Brotherhood Speaking editorially, under the caption, "A Hopeful Incident,” the Beacon of Wichita, Kansas, in its issue of September 18, says: "Th* banquet of the Industrial Relatione Organization of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), reported in yeyterday’a Beacon, is a fine incident of the growing friendship in induatrial relatione. "The most encouraging thing that is happening today in the industrial life of this country la in the new programs of co-optration that are being establi>hed between themaelvea and their employee by great employers. The bast industrial plants in the country todey ere finding their own pointe of contect with their own men. "In theee new pointe of contact they are finding the base of that eesence of real brotherhood that ihould exist between the man who labors and the man who employe. This new tendency is the most hopeful thing in the industrial life of America today.' The banquet referred to concluded the Fifth Annual Industrial Conference of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) inaugurated under the guidance of the Board of Directors. The Industrial Relations Department of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the crystallization of the plans of the Management for giving its employes a voice in the affairs of the Company, that they might sense the sheer joy that comes with independence, and thereby become better citizens, better husbands, better fathers, and better workmen. The employe representatives of the Joint General Committee are elected by ballot of the employes. This Committee makes recommendations to the Management on matters pertaining to working and living conditions, hours, wages, safety, housing, athletics and other subjects of immediate interest to the employe. Out of the 1400 cases which have been submitted to the Management by the Joint General Committees, 93.3% have been approved and made effective. This exemplifies the spirit of fairness inherent throughout the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) organization. It is an eloquent manifestation of the harmony prevailing throughout this shirt-sleeved organization of 27,000 men and women. Through harmony is gained the whole-hearted, earnest effort which results in high-speed efficiency. This efficiency has made the Company a leader in the petroleum industry and enables it to render such a sup-rior service tn the thirty million people of the Middle West.
