No American Women Should Be Unhappy, Says Bishop Chicago, Sept. 2.—The poorest woman in the United States is in finitely better off than the peon F. Oldham of Buenos Aires declared at a meeting of the employes and stnff of the committee on conserva tion and advance of the Methodist Episcopal church here. Bishop Oldham has just returned from South America and Mexico. He said: "You can rate civilization from the place that women hold in that par ticular country. There used to be an idea that woman had no real place in the world. "If there are any youn* women here who are discontented and wish ing that they were rich, think of the mass of women in the peon class in South America who are not as re spected as the women of the United States. The poorest of you is rich when compared with these." The bishop said that the ownership of millions of acres! nf land by rich landlords was detrimental to the ad vancement of the peons. The peon women, especially in South America, he declared, live in little shacks in small villages and ure degraded spec! mens of humanity, depressed, with ab sence of nil hope, ambition and as piration. "There should be no discontented women in America because they are well cared for, and have good homes,’’ Itlshop Oldham concluded.

BURGESS. The diplomatic have th*» tact To never atate a thin* as fact. —Grandfather Fro*. Peter Babbit Doesn’t Believe. Of course Peter Babbit had heard that one of the children of Johnny and Polly Chuck had run away from home. News like that travels fast. Later he had discovered the young Chuck living in the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard. He had even visited him there. Then, there being so many other things about which to satisfy his curiosity, he had forgotten ail about the young Chuck for a while. When he did think'of him again and go over to the old stone wall for another visit the young Chuck wasn't there, and no one knew where he had gone. Right away Peter's curiosity was awakened. He wanted to know what had become of that young Chuck. He wondered if he had been caught by an enemy or if he had been caught away. So Peter set out to look for him. He found no trace of him any where. Finally Peter came to the Smiling Pool. The first person he saw there was Grandfather Frog sit ting on his favorite big, green lily pad. ‘‘Good morning. Grandfather Frog,” said Peter politely. Grandfather Frog didn’t reply. His big, goggly eyes were fixed on a ool ish green fly coming his way. Sud denly Grandfather Frog made a short jump. He landed in the water with a splash. Then he turned and climbed hack up on the big, green lily pad. He swallowed once or twice with a satisfied air, blinked his big, goggly eyes and looked up at Peter Rabbit on the bank. "Good morning," said he gruffly. "What brings you over here this morning?” “Nothing In particular,” replied Peter. ”1 was Just looking around. Have you happened to see one of Johnny Chuck's children over this way?” “So that's it, is it?” exclaimed Grandfather Frog in his deep voice. "I thought there was something. There's a young Chuck living over there on the other side of the Laugh ing Brook. Perhaps he Is the one. He has just finished digging his house there.” Peter pricked up his long ears with Interest. He could see a heap of shining, yellow sand a little way back from the bank on the other side. But "Good morning, Grandfather Frog,” said Peter politely. he shook his head. "No,' said he very decidedly, “it cannot be that runaway young Chuck. It must be some other young Chuck." "Why can't it be that runaway young Chuck?" demanded Grand father Frog gruffly. "Because he is on the other side of the Laughing Brook," replied Peter promptly. "Well, what of It?" demanded Grandfather Frog. "Why, he couldn't possibly have gotten there without swimming, and Chucks don't swim!" cried Peter tri umphantly. Grandfather Frog blinked his big. goggly eyes two or three timei as he looked up at Peter. "Huh! You still have a lot to learn. Peter Rabbit," said he. "I've seen Chucks swim. More than once I've seen Chucks swim. That young Chuck over there swam across the laughing Brook two or three days ago. I know it because Jerry Muskrat told me so. He saw him do It.” "I don't believe It'" declared Peter most impolitely. "I don't believe it!" (Copyrlshi. 1K3.)

New York, Sept. 2 — Read this to the wife; German servant girls have begun their long-overdue pilgrimage to the United States. One day recently 10 passed through the gates at Ellis Island, arrivals on the Royal Mail liner Orca. More are on their way. The girls, all In blooming health, announced $40 a month would be the wages asked. And for tljat, they said, they were willing to cook, sweep, scrub, mind the children, be respectful to the head of the house; had no objection to late suppers, sought but one after noon a week off duty—and would do the washing and Ironing. Not one of the group Is a movis fan. None has gentlemen friends In the United States—yet. "We only got $2 a week and no days off at home In Harthausen,'' the spokeswoman of the group said. "For $40 a month we’ll do every thing." All 10 were in domestic service in their home land. Only two of the group admitted to ever having brok en a dish—a serious offense for the trained servant in Germany, the lead er explained. "We're writing to all the girls we know back home and telling them to come over,” the girls said. Since the German Immigration quota is far from filled hope for suburban housewives has risen high. Search for Earthquake Newest Scientists’ Quest Berkeley, Cal., Sep*. 2—Scien tists. aided by delicately adjusted in struments. are engaged In one of the most unique hunts in history—a search for an earthquake. The hidden depths of the ocean and the highest peaks of California's mountain ranges are included in the wide sweep of the hunt, which is seeking to locate the source of the earthquake that rocked the Pacific ocean and recorded around the world on January 22, 1923. "Earthquakes can be located.” de clared Rev. James B. MacElwaine, graduate student at the University of California, in charge of the univer sity seismograph. "In most circum stances the location can be deter mined accurately by measurements from the seismograph records of sev eral stations. "This is the key in the world wide search for the last big earthquake. "Comparison of records of the last earthquake, on January 23, has not l>een done, but enough has been ac complished to show that the move ment took place off the coast of nothern California in the vicinity of Eureka. "The shock of this tremhlor was so violent that the first wave that struck the seismograph threw the pens off the record drums. Eater waves did the same thing at all the stations as far ns the Atlantic coaf.’* Rev. MacElwaine believes the earth quake may be connected with the San Andreas rift, a movement that caused the disaster in April. 19PS. "Earthquakes send out four kinds of waves." said Rev. MacElwaine. ' Two of these go through the earth and two go around the outside A special study has been made of one of the latter groups, and it has been found that the surface waves which compose it grow longer as they travel. This lengthening has thus far been followed up to a distance of 5 000 miles. It only takes about three hours and 14 minutes for them to travel around the earth. Only in a case of a very violent earthquake will the shock go all the way around the globe and come back." French Birth Rate Drop? Nearly 500,000 Since 1868 Paris. Sept. 2.—A row of three babies, of diminishing sizes, el thed in white and resting on a black hack ground ha* been attracting attention in the windows of the National Alli ance for the Increase of French Pop ulation. It is a show window way of telhrg the story of a decreasing race. The largest baby has written underneath. "Year 3666—1.034,000," the second baby. "Year 1911—746.000." and the last haby. "Year 1926?—600,000." The trouble between France and Germany is one of babies, according to the spokesman of this organiza tion, and Germany is hound to win the next war because of more babies. According to the latest figures. Germany now has 500.000 extra new babies, and France but 35.000 above her death rate. France's present population J placed at 39.200.000, whereof 1,500.* 000 are foreigners. Her native popu lation for the first six months ,-f ; ;J increased by 9,045. compared to 15.* 549 In 1913. a normal prewar year. With the nuniher of marriages in creasing (191-4-52 for the first six months of 1922. as compared to 160 ■ 722 in the corresponding period of 19131, the birth rate is slightly lower, as is the death rate The National Alliance, h, srever. points out that there is a 3 per cert decrease in the German hirth rate, due to post war poverty anti other causes, France is endeavoring by legisla tion to increase the birth rate. Fathers of four or more children nr* given higher salaries, and other measures ate being adopted, one of which is to gne a fathei an extra vote for every child.
