And as they were eating Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.—Matthew 26:26. Beveridge Progressive? Oo La La! WHO was it that thought Albert Beveridge, a Progressive? In his speech at Columbus, Ohio, “made at President Harding’s request,” he said Harding’s administration has made progress “unequaled and unapproached during the same time by that of any other existing government.” That’s all we need to know about Beveridge’s Progressivism. But— He thinks the railway breakdown will cure itself when American transportation is “freed from the iron hand of artificial and arbitrary governmental direction and placed under the control of economic law.” In other words Beveridge favors giving the railways the privilege of taking all the traffic will bear. This is “progress” backward to the status of 1870. For railways being natural monopolies with whom and between whom there is no such thing as real competition, are above the operation of any economic law except that which controls the housewife when she skims the milk—she takes all that rises. But read on. Beveridge joins Smoot in advocating a “noncumulative sales tax, collected each day in the ordinary course of trade, and paid to the government each month.” This means taxing the poor to pay the debts of the rich—Smoot all along the line. And Smoot is a real Progressive—with reverse English! Mr. Beveridge says the conflict between the old parties is over economic theories, that the Democrats are allied with the Socialists and “extreme radicals.” Os course a man of his intelligence knows this is false, and his stating it gives him away as a sort of capitalistic demagogue. Would that it were true! We should then have campaigns that would mean something. We should get rid of such tom-tom beating as Mr. Beveridge gives up, and have real issues. But, alas, his statement is false; the Democrats and Republicans are playing the same old game with scarcely a perceptible difference beyond the spelling of the names of the parties. No one would accuse Samuel Ralston of ever thinking a thought bordering on radicalism, and the men who come nearest to be “extreme” radicals just now happen to be in the Republican party. But they are far, far from Beveridge, even though all of them are called Republicans. And they may as well bid Albert J. a long good-by right now. Where the Picking’s Best O West, Young Man,” is still good advice. VJJ If you don’t want to go west, then go ’way down east, to New York or Massachusetts, but it’s best to go west. Here are some facts and figures to prove it. They were compiled by the National Bureau of Economic Research. They are based upon field tabulations of the official census and income tax reports. The average per capita income for the whole United States is $629. That is what you should earn FOR EACH MEMBER OF TOUR FAMILY, to be as good a provider as the average. Out on the Pacific Coast, however, the average is higher. You can call yourself an average wage-earner out there only if you make $796 for each member of the family. In the upper Mississippi Valley States, for the most part, the average is about that of the United States as a whole, about $630. The Middle Atlantic States offer good wage-earning opportunities, with a per capita average of $783, while New York State alone, which leads the country, has a per capita average of $874. However, that figure is due more to the number of extremely high salaries in New York rather than to the average of the wageearning class. The per capita earning in the South Central States is $463, and in the East South Central States, along the Gulf of Mexico, it is down to $364. This is due, in large measure, to the fact that these are farming communities with a big percentage of unskilled blacks. The Pacific Coast offers a contrast. There, under different conditions, farmers average $2,800 per year. In" the North Central States they average around s2,3t>o, while southern farmers make but $1,340 on the average, and in New England it is still lower, or $1,160.

American Near East Action Must Be Humanitarian; Not on Religion

By HILTOX BROXXBR •'ii Staff CorrrtDondent LONDON, Oct. S.—A solemn warning to American churchmen seeking Government action in the Near East has been given by Ariold Toynbee, professor of Greek at London University, in an exclusive interview with "HA Service. f'rof. Toynbee is the author of several books on the Near East question and was the British government adviser on Turkish matters at the Versailles peace conference. “America is doing wonderful work in the Near East,” he said, “but care must be taken to base it strictly upon humanitarian grounds, rather than religious or racial. Interference May Aggravate • “Any attempt of American or Europe to sell the present Asia Minor situation a struggle between the-eross and the crescent—Christianity versus Mohammedanism, civilization against barbarism—may aggravate the complicated crisis. “People must remember that the neighboring races of the Near East are neither all devils nor all angels. Their behavior depends upon who is the top dog. “I edited the famous Bryce report cui Armenian atrocities and therefore had under my eyes documentary evidence of what the Turks did to Armenians. But last fall I was in Asia Minor when the Greeks were still winning—and I found the Greeks were perpetrating atrocities against Turkish peasants and thqir wives. “I personally saw Greeks loot houses, burn villages and shoot inhabitants. And I have reason to believe there were worse outrages. “If we now raise an outcry against the Turks and keep silent about the conduct of the Greek army in the recent retreat, it will inflame every Turk in Asia Minor. "The Turks will say we hate them and declaim against them not because

of their conduct, but because of their religion and race. And they will ask why we close our eyes to similar wrongs perpetrated by fellow Christians. Both Sides to Blame ' The fact is that great wrongs have *been committed by both sides. One of Mustapha Hemal's cabinet members recognized this when he recently said it would be a good thing to move all Greeks and Armenians out of Turkish territory and all Turkish citizens out of European territory. In other words, he would exchange one population for the other so that in each territory would be all one people instead of conflicting races. “I believe this should be done. And nobody could more perfectly superintend such a transfer than the American Relief Association. This organization has everybody's confidence. The Turks know the Americans have no territorial or political ambitions in that quarter of the world and they would absolutely trust the Americans —if religion were subordinated.

Propaganda? By United Xewi WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—While American shipping \s marking the time awaiting Federal aid, Germany is developing its merchant marine at a rate that bids fair to restore it in short order to its pre-war position, according to the National Merchant Marine Association. “Stripped of practically all its steam seagoing tonnage under the peace terms,” states the association. "Germany a year ago had managed to assemble slightly more than 600,000 gross tons. Today she has not far from 2,000,000 tons of shipping and is well on her way toward her pre-war figure of five million tons."

RETMLIEALERS PROFITEERING. SMOOTDECLARES Merchants Declare Prices Must Cos Up Under New Tariff Bill. By W. H. PORTERFIELD YVASINGTON*Oct. 9.—ls that new dress, or that new suit of clothes, going to cost you more money on account of the high tariff? Says Senator Smoot, Utah: “Retail dealers are profiteering. The price of clothing should come down.” Say the dealers: “Prices must go up when new stocks are bought under the new tariff.” Says Macy ft Cos., big department store, New York: “Nobody knows what the tariff will do to us.” And here is what President Marvin of the United Sttes tariff commission told the writer. The new duty on clean raw wool is 31 cents the pound. This as against the complicated emergency tariff of about 45 cents. This tariff was so high that practically no wool has come In during the past two* years, but was piled up in the warehouses of our ports. Under the Underwood bill which preceded the emergency bill, wool was free. Under the Payne-Aldrich bill it was 11 cents the pound for grease wool, which means about 22 cents for clean. Therefore, with the exception of the emergency act, the wool tariff is now the highest ever known, and as virtually no wool was imported under the emergency act and as most clothing was made from wool brought in free, during and just after the war, you can draw your own conclusions. On the manufactures of wool — ranging from “tops,” from which yarns are made, to heavy dress goods —the schedule varies. And in addition to the duty per pound there is a valuation duty. The emergency tariff, which the new tariff supercedes, carried a flat valuation duty of 35 per cent on all grades of wool manufactures. In ad dition there was the 45-cent-a-pound rate on clean wool.

THE REFEREE By ALBSRT APPLB. Roger Dolan. Ashing in Portage Lake. Ontario, catches a dore—wglleyed pike perch, generally and incorrectly called Canadian pickerel. Dolan kills the four pound flsh with a club, throws it in his canoe. Half hour on shore, he cleans the dore, tears its ' pi insides out. Two hours faß afterward, he happens to V 'MTU notice the “cleanings"— \ and finds the heart beatA jVk ing normally and vigor- • ously as if in the fish. Life still was present. No one can explain it. But this much is probable: If the dore had the human ability to worry, its heart would have stopped in the canoe or when the insides were torn out. Worry is a sure killer. DEBT The national debt now is nearly two and a hqlf billion dollars less than it was three years ago. It was cut down $230,000,000 in Sep tember. lowering It to $22,812,407,791. At this rate of reduction, the entire netional debt would be wiped out by the year 1950. Don’t expect it. Much of the reduction to date came from salvaging surplus war materials. The Junkman has finished the best of the picking. FORD Henry’ Ford orders his foremen to speed up production and install new machinery so that the output of Fords will be 6,000 a day by April 1. 1923. Allowing for Sundays, Ford will be able to turn out nearly two million cars a year, the greatest industrial miracle of history. Ford is always expecting better and better business. And he gets it—for many reasons, chief of which is that he never hypnotizes himself into stagnation by “anticipating" depression. In the long run. we usually get wUt we expect, no more, no less.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WOMAN AGREES Expresses Sentiments on School Conditions—Praises Nicholson. After reading Meredith Nicholson's opinion and sentiments on portable school houses and the school commissioners in the Indianapolis Times, I would like to say that I for one am proud of the fact that we have a man of Mr. Nicholson’s popularity who is not afraid to express his opinion openly. I heartily agree with him, and quoting Mr. Nicholson’s own words, let me urge "Before there is another election of members of this highly Important board the people of this town of more than a third of a million should find out what's what and who's who in Bchool affairs and see to it that only persons of demonstrated fitness are landed in these places.” MRS. CARL J. KLAIBER. GO AHEAD By BERTOX BRA LEY ("Shall I sing you a commonplace Bong?" —From a poem.) YES. sing us a commonplace song Os life as it ambles along, A song that will carry A jingling refrain That Tom, Dick aiid Harry And Mary and Jane Can whistle and hum as they work and they play. From commonplace day unto commonplace day. A song for the plodding and hardworking throng. Sing us a commonplace song! SING us a commonplace song, A tune that is hard to get wrong. Some sort of a ditty With power to charm The folks of the city And those on the farm: A commonplace ballad that somehow contrives To bring some romance Into commonplace lives, To gladden the hearts of the weak or the strong. Sing us a commonplace song. YES, sing jus a commonplace song. Which just sort of ripples along. With doggerel meter And notes that are few. But which make life sweeter For me and for you— A tinkly and lightsome and lyrical lay To chase all our worries and troubles away. And if you can sing such a thing to the throng. It a commonplace song! 1922. NEA Service)

LA FOLLETTE WILL RENE W FIGHT TO UNSEAT SENA TOR NEWBERRY

By LEO R. SACK WASINGTON, Oct. 9.—The fight to unseat Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan will be renewed in the next Congress. A Republican will conduct it. Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin, who recently overwhelmed old guard leaders by the magnificence of his indorsement in the Republican primaries, will introduce a resolution calling for Newberry’s expulsion. Newberryism was one of La Follette’s issues in his campaign for renomination.

GUN RELIGION GAINS FOOTHOLD ON MS SITE Muhammadans Begin Erection of Church on Ground of Ancient la Pitie. PARIS, Oct. 9.—ln March last the first stroke o fthe pickax was given in the terrain destined to the erection of the Paris mosque. Shafts have been driven at the Bottom of which re-enforced concrete has been cast. They are the basis of the future sanctuary of Islam. However much one may deprecate this French encouragement of Muhammadanism a a a. religion, one cannot but register it as a somewhat significant fact. Once Marshal Lyautey has laid the foundation stone the construction will be speeded up. It is to be erected on the ground of the old hospital of La Pitie the place of refuge which sprang from a. beau geste of Louis XIII. It was in 1612 that buildings and gardens of the Saint Victor quarter were acquired by order of the King and reunited under the name of Notre-Dame-de-Pitie. It was to give shelter to beggars. old people without resources—all the poor who were to be found in the city. The old edifice, after hav ing gone through various Kinds of repairs and enlargements, was used as a hospital until 1912. when anew Pitie was built and inaugurated byRaymond Poincare. Efface Old Church After three centuries these vestiges of the first steps toward charity in France have been effaced. Nothing rermiins of the old stones laden with history. In a short time the Jardin dee Plantes district will have no reminiscences of the past. To the alterations adn embellishments It has gone through during the last twenty-five years will be added the mosque. The mosque, completed by its maison des hotes. Its hsminam, Us minaret, its patio, Its gardens, ablution room, its prayer room, the habitation of the Mufti and that of the Imam will put a luminous green and whit* spot in that rather dreary and un attractive quarter. The mosque will bo Parisian only Jn its frame. By its style. Its destination, its guests. It will be a place full of the Muhammadan spirit. From the terrace of the minaret which rises twenty six yards above the ground the muezzin will call the worshippers* to prayer. The architecture, the gardens with fountains and basins, the halls with frescoes and carpets and mosaics, tho facings and ceramics—all the details will be essentially Arabian. Decorators from Fez. Mecknes. Marrakech, where the traditions and the tech nique of arabesques are kept free from any foreign influence, will be called upon to decorate the mosque. Fifty-six columns of cedar wood will support the cupola of the proper* room. Cloakrooms will be provided where the Muhammadans in European clothes will bo able to dress in ritual vesture. The Mlrbad. where the Imam stays, has been oriented toward Mecca. Will Admit Parisians The Parisians will be admitted In the maison des hotes and treated to the veritable Arabian cooking in an Arabian decor and among the white burnous-clad Orientals. Morocco, through the intermediary of the Resident General Marshal Ly’autey has contributed 3,000,000 francs while Tunisia has offered 1,200,000 francs. In 192 C 500,000 francs have been put at the disposal of the Societe des Habous des Lieux Saints for the foundation of the Musulman Institute and the Paris mosque. The Municipal Council of Paris has made a present of the terrain on which the mosque is to be erected.

COOKING By DR. R. 11. BISHOP OOKING Is a most Important art, but jr jr some foods, when f f/ft cooked, lose cer- / / fifi \ 1 tain smaJl things j I W called vitamlnes. I ™ f- Vitamincs exist I 1 V *£* j in the coating of 1 VSNJI/ grains, especially V rice, in the yolk \ \ ' mV of an egg, In raw \ milk and In fresh fruit and fresh vegetables, especially peas and beans. These vitamines are very important to the well-being of the body. Some raw or uncooked foods, therefore, such as lettuce, or tomatoos, celery, fruits, nuts and milk should be eaten to supply vitainines, which are destroyed by prolonged cooking. Not all foods can be taken raw with advantage. Most starchy foods, such as cereals and potatoes and unripe fruit, must, of course, be cooked before they are fit to eat. Foods that are consumed raw should be very thoroughly washed. The mineral matter In vegetables often is lost by cooking too long. It is cooked out of the vegetable into the water It is in. This may be counteracted by using the water, after the vegetable has been cooked, for soup. Potato wate. • n be used this way especially when the potatoes are inclined to break up and dissolve. Cabbage dtnd cauliflower should be cooked just long enough to make them tender, but not long enough to make them broyn or yellow.

Developments since last January, when the Senate seated Newberry 46 to 41, indicate that the Newberry fight may yet be successful. Forty-six Republican Senators voted to seat Newberry. Thirty-two Democrats and nine Republican Senators voted to unseat him. Three were absent and not voting and six were paired and not voting.

The dedication inscription reads' “To Our Dead Heroes. by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Vtctrix causa diis plattcit. sed vieta Catoni" (The victorious cause was pleasing to the gods, but the vanquished one to Cato).

Senators Townsend of Michigan, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Calder of New York and other Newberry Senators are by no means certain of re-election. Even if they all come back change of three or four votes in the Senate, combined with the reported indifference now of former Newberry supporters because the Michigander has not helped Republican Senators in crises like they helped him, may succeed in making possible the removal of Newberry.

Such a rail system would permit the Ford plants here to bring their coal from the mining districts on their own trains, it is said. This, some claim, is Ford's latest move in his fight against coal concerns. Charging that the price of coal had been raised too high for economical operation of his plant. Ford gave notice that he would suspend all operations. He closed part of his plants for a time, but later resumed operations. What acquisition of lines to Kansas City and Omaha might mean is a matter of conjecture entirely. There may be some truth to one theory that Ford may be planning for further competition from low-priced automobiles. and as a means of reducing this cost, plans to ship as far as possible and as fast as possible on his own i lines before it becomes necessary to use other roads to more distant distribution centers. Similarly, the line j to Buffalo, it Is contended, would put j Ford cars nearer New York in Ford's cars, while the line to Norfolk would furnish an all-Ford owned outlet for automobiles in export.

AMERICA LIKELY TO TAKE HAND ACROSS ATLANTIC Spokesmen for Government Declare When Time Comes U. S. Will Be Ready. By FRANK J. TAYLOR. WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.—Likelihood of American participation in a general economic conference for the rehabilitation of Europe is greater now than at any time during the Harding Administration., Spokesmen for this trovernment have repeatedly said that "when the proper time came” the American Government would be ready to aid Europe reorganize her shaken economic structures. Two developments recently have served as omens to the American authorities that “the time” so long waited for is fast approaching. They were: 1. The Near East situation which revealed that European nations are ever on the verge of war yet are anxious to avoid further military struggles. 2. The American Bankers' Convention in New York which recorded Itself in favor of American participation in Europe’s efforts of economic recovery. This conference was watched closely by officials in Washington who will undoubtedly be guided somewhat thereby. Ignore Bankers Advice This Government has believed in the past that Europe would listen far more seriously to the advice of American financial leaders than to the suggestions of political spokesmen. But American bankers have offered their advice and most of the European governments have to date ignored it. They want official participation. The extremely precarious situation provoked by the Turkish victory over Greece in the Near East, dramatizing to all of Europe the danger of complete collapse if conditions continue as at present, is held up here as the probable event which will lead to the calling of anew international conference. It is now known here that some of the strongest and ablest of the President’s advisers have been converted to the Idea of participating In Europe’s economic rehabilitation. They have become convinced that conditions in this country will never become normal until Europe is freed from the present chaos and menace of war. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You know that a woman traveling alone registering at a hotel uses the title "Mrs.” or “Miss” before her j name. ! To sign oneself “Sally Smith” or ! “Dollie Jones” is undignified and incorrect. Only the oldest daughter or the only daughter of a family is permitted to sign “Miss Smith.” '
