HOMER’S HEROES FAIR-HAIRED
Bracks of His Tims Apparently
Emerging From th« Bronx# Into
tbs Iren Ago.
Homer, the gnat Greek pcet, is
;hought to have lived aliout 10011 H.
C. Ths Iliad ami Odyssey are ths
first authentic hietorii.il record* \ie
‘save of this gifted people. That tho
pociua are essentially historical Ins
boon abundantly proved by the exca-
vation* of Sehleitnan. This enthusi-
latio Homeric student not only tin-
suvered the Troy of H'niter’s time;
lit found the tomb of Agamemnon,
ind what is believed to bo the lat-
ter’s drinking cup.
I Tho Homeric poem* reveal a peo-
ple just emerging from the Bronze
ngs into the Iron age. Cremation of
the dead, a practically universal cut-
tom of the Bronze ago, is still pruo-
1 tierd but besido it is the mausuluum
fashion of burial of the Iron age, a
: custom that is largely followed to
i this day.
! , The |ieopl« Homer mentions art
invariably fair. Clyases himself is
1 described as having wavy yellow hair
and of a short statuse. Such )>aint-
iug from these periods as have coma
down to ns depict a jtonple among
whom red hair was common, if not
tho rule.—Exchange.
PROFITS OF THE PROFESSION
INDIANS IN SORRY PLIGHT
Mesealero Apaches Have Been Re-;
duccd to Poverty, by Lose of Water
for Irrigation.
In General Crook’s time he in-
duced a number of Mesealero
Ajaiehe* to settle down to subsist by
agriculture, ami they raised excel-
lent emp* until their white neigh-
bor* turned oil their supply of wa-
ter, a precious substance in the dry
West. They arc now, to tho num-
ber of 625, living in poverty, and
tuberculosis is spreading among
thorn, notwithstanding the many
acres and the valuable timber they
s'ill own in the Sacramento moun-
tains, writes William Dory, in the
Southern Workman. Some of these
Indians farm, but much of the land
is unsuitable for agriculture, though
there is good gracing. Some of them
work at government lumbering.
Wbon A pm lies go oil of the
reservation Hiid work on con-
struction works and the like,
they are mid to make excellent
workmen. There is little on any
reservation to rail out enterprise,
and the supervision of everything
undertaken, however much need oil,
does not encourage iniliati\c.
('apt. Krucst Stocker, the present
superintendent of the Mesealero
Apache reservation, was instrumen-
tal in obtaining permission for them
to cut and sell their mature lumber
up to $.100,000 worth under the su-
pervision of the forestry division of
tho Indian bureau. There is a plan
for congress to advance as much
m ney as tl>e timl>er is to bring, the
result of the sales being pledged in
pa) ment.
JUNIOR RED CROSS

They supliort work In Korops to

Europe. r.at (Ids Is not as Interesting
to Anterleau*. iwrhitjts, ns the work
which the Juniors do ut home. One of
the biggest problems In America today,
aceordiug to experts. Is the tremen-
dous amount of malnutrition found
among ths children of this country.
On*•third of the children of America
are malnourished, according to actual
county. The Junior Tied Criais.
through Its school auxiliaries and
growth classes. Is seeking to eliminate
a largo |airt of this malnutrition and
bus succeeded to u very gratifying ex-

as well ns nut h e-horn Americans,

'le foreign born Americans through tin*

could he otherwise.
One of the helps to this Is ttie work
'he chl'dioii are doing for ttic disabled
ex-service men In hospitals, for the
-Ick and crippled children who need
help and cheer, In equipping play-
grounds so that sod-eyed little chil-

Waste Paper Basket of the World Is Filled
With “Scraps of Paper”
By C. A. PLUM LEY, In New York
Wltv ia it lieressary to argue that tits pronouncements of nnv par-
liament of the world, international tribunal, League of Nations, «r confer-
ence, by whatever name it may be called, are not worth tha paper on
which they are written, except for the fact that back of them lie* the
power of enforcement found in a dominant naval nud military force?
\Yhy talk about the inviolability of a contract when wnr iinpeuds? The
waste paper basket of the world is filled with “scraps of paper.”
We must never forgot that it is the respect for our power of enforce-
ment that makes it possible for it* to administer law, not the language
of the law itself, the parchment on which it ia written, or the namca of
the signatory powers thereto appended.
You may proclaim martial law until you are hoarse, and have noth-
ing but your trouble for your paiiis, utile** you have the troops at hand
to carry «ut your order*. It pays to prepare.
