UNITED STATES PAYS ITS HIGHEST TRIBUTE TO DEAD SOLDIERS

PARIS. Oct 3. The United States Sunday paid its highest tribute to the dead soldiers of France when Gen. John J. Pershing, in the presence of an immense throng, including President Millerand and other high officials of the republic, laid the congressional medal of. honor upon the tomb of an unknown poilu under . the Arch of Triumph. The ceremony was the most impressive expression of Franco-American unity since the United States declared war on Germany in April, 1917. A military review, second in size only to the historic Victory parade.

followed the ceremony. A picked bat

talion or American troops, represen

tative or all units comprising the American forces on the Rhine, led the

parade, which was reviewed by President Millerand, Gen. Pershing. Am

bassador Herrick and all the marshals

of France. . - Troops Inspire Enthusiasm.

The presence of a large body of American troops in Paris for the first time since 1919 caused an outburst of

enthusiasm from the thousands of Pa risians who lined the Avenue Des

Champs Elysees and the Place

D'Etoile, where the arch is located.

Before placing the decoration on the unknown soldier's tomb. Gen. Pershing gtood before it at salute for sev

eral minutes. Then, in a voice shak ing with emotion, he declared:

"In the name of the president and of the people of the United States, as

a token of our perpetual belief in the righteousness of the cause for which you died and as a mark of respect and admiration to you and to your countrymen, I place this congressional medal of honor upon your tomb." The American headquarters band from Coblenz then played the "Marseillaise" and the "Star-Spangled Banner."

The government pictures are generally one-reelers, with a story running through them. One may be a scenic picture of old Quebec or Lake Louise. Another is industrial salmon fishing, for example. And others may have history, a news event, a government activity, or some typical Canadian custom as a foundation. A government that goes into the film business as a commercial proposition finds it expedient not to en croach on the work of private producers, so Canadian officials warn. The governmrnt camera man is an unexploited field when he films national and government subjects.

morrow should be a day to exceed today, in every respect."

HIGH PLAGES CERTAIN TO DRAW LIGHTNING

It is an old saying that most proverbs are only half-truths. Some are wholly contrary to facts. For instance, there is an ancient law to the effect that "lightning never strikes twice in the same place." This Is absolutely untrue. The United States forest service, which dreads lighning as a frequent cause of forest fires, avers that lightnig has "zones of frequency," wherein it is likely to strike whenever there is an electrical storm. It suggests that such zones might be mapped with a view to special precaution. These zones have reference to, topography, especially in mountainous

regions. A hill is much more likely to' be struck by lightning than any area of lowland, because it is nearer to the clouds. Danger Points An isolated tree does not "attract lightning, as is commonly supposed. If it be very tall, lightning is more apt to strike it than to hit objects in its neighborhood, because of it3 height merely. For a like reason, the Eiffel tower in Paris, has often been struck by lightning. The lofty shaft erected in honor of the father of his country, in Washington, is a frequent target for thunderbolts, and has to be protected against them by an elaborate system of lightning rods. A high mountain top is sure to be struch frequently by lightning. But rot so if its elevation be great enough to uplift it beyond the ordinary level of thunderclouds. In that case, it will have a lightning-struck zone lower down, around its sides. Often a lightning bolt discharges into quartz rock or quartz sand melts the silica and forms a curious little pipe of glass, perhaps an inch in diameter and some inches in length. Such pipes, called "fulgurites," are bometimes found in large numbers on mountain tops.

"Christians are not pessimistic," declared Rev. H. S. James, pas, or of the United Brethern church, in his sermon Sunday evening. "Christians believe in tomorrow," he said, "and think that it will be better even than today." Rev. James emphasized the fact that there are a great many pessimists in the world who refuse to believe that the things that are being done are for the best. As an illustration of this fact, he recalled the story of the

Priests crossing the River Jordan. He pointed out that the pessimists did not believe that the waters would part when the priests and their party came to the water's edge. However, when the priests' feet touched the water, the river parted and the party was able to go through and continue their journey.

In the final part of his address. Rev.

James said, "So many people in this; world are sinners and they are afraid :

of the morrow to come. But the people who have no cares and are Christians can pass through each and every day and feel that they are on the right side. In conclusion, Rev. James added, "The

Incubator Invented by Australian Brash F owl The first and original incubator seems to have been the clever invention of an Australian bird of large size called the "brush turkey." It saves the fowl a great deal of time and trouble. The hen turkey lays her "clutch" of eggs in a neat circle, and

then she and her mate scratch together to big pile of leaves and other forest trash to cover them. Decomposition of this vegetable material produces heat, whereby the egg3 are kept at proper temperature for incubation. From time to time the male bird gives the heap a scratching over, as if to make sure that the temperature developed is neither too high nor too low. He does not permit the newly batched young ones to emerge, how

ever, until they are fully fledged M able to take care of themselves. Then he helps them to get out.

Days in Abject Poverty Louis De Rougemont, who recently

died in a London pauper infirmary, gave Ananias, Munchausen, Dr. Swift and Sinbad the Sailor a merry run. His real name was Henry Louis Grin. Twenty-five or 30 years ago De Rougemont astonished the world by a series of yarns about savages and cannibals which made Defoe's masterpiece look tame. He claimed to have married a cannibal wife. His writings were accepted for a time, and he even addressed the British Association on the habits of the Australian aborigines, but at last he was unmasked by an English newspaper and it was prove:l that he was working for a Swiss banker while he was astonishing the natives as a cannibal king.

OTTAW:A, Canada, Oct. 3. Canada has a branch of government that every progressive country will eventually have a commercial moving picture office. So far, Canada is the first government to advertise itself commercially by the films. A few days ago, the announcement came of one of the states, Nebraska, opening its official moving picture studio to distribute pictures advertising the state, but this venture, like most of its kind, depends on stato funds to finance it. The pictures are to be distributed free. The Canadian government offers some of its films free to schools and clubs, but for the most part distributes official pictures through big, well es,

tablished moving picture concerns, and charges regular . rates for them. They become a part of the programs in the various movie houses all over the country. The idea is that peoples appreciate and are more interested in something they pay for than something they get for nothing. So the moving picture bureau of the government decided to make its films a3 good or better than the commercial ones, and to offer it to the trade. The plan worked. The government productions are in demand. Moreover, the films practically pay for themselves, and as publicity they are invaluable to the country. The project was started four years ago with the purpose of showing not only people of other countries, but Canadians as well, what Canada is like. It is a well known fact, to quote one instance, that while many Am

ericans go to Algonquin park in On-

interesting stories to Canaidans as well as others." Actual returns to a country from film publicity can scarcely be estimated, but Canada rates her film activities as an invaluable method of showing people in other countries what the Canadian land is like, how the people li've, and what industries and arts thrive there. This is more important to Canada than it would be to England, for instance, or to France. The world in general has a fairly correct idea of the place of these two countries in Civilization. But Canada is apt to be dismissed as largely backwoods. Showing cross sections of Canadian life abroad arouses interest in tho country and that means trade, settlers, visitors, and that most important asset, good will. Canada is not the only country to accept the doctrine that it pays to advertise. Every big government in the world has" some sort of publicity organization to advertise itself since the war. Before then, publicity and advertising were regarded as' commercial devices which a dignified government did not stoop to use. The mere suggestion of posters would have shocked any war department officer in 1913. But the war, to be backed by the people, had to be advertised. And ever since, governments have been using posters, films, stills (the photographic kind), slides, and publicity men. They call them editors or intelligence officers in the government.

This duplicated effort still goes on in some Washington government offices.

So far as pictures go, the films taken by the one staff include every phase of Canadian national activity. The film studio is in Ottawa, within

John J. Pershing, father of the general of the armies, has been advertised for sale for taxes, according to a letter sent to the general by the editor of an American Legion Magazine published in Amite, La. The editor posted sufficient funds with the parish sheriff to prevent the sale and requested General Pershing to make the estate available for colonization by his comrades who are being rehabilitated, after war wounds, for agricultural pursuits. The Pershing tract contains 100 acres of the parish's best land. The number of civilian employes in the Panama Canal zone has been reduced 40 per cent since March 4, 1921, and more than 700 former soldiers will be forced out of employment if there is not a let-up, an appeal from the canal zone to the American Legion's representatives in , Washington declares.
