Suddenly there has sprung up In loutheastern Europe a movement to unite the peasants of six :oun tries. czecho-Slovakia. Jugo slavia. Rumania. Austria. Hungary and Bulgaria. Its object is ostensibly to combat bolshevism and fascism, but while the fight against these systems of government Ls no doubt me of its primary aims, the real Im pulse for the movement comes from * desire for greater social and eco nomic advantages. Long enough have the peasants watched urban reputations reap the fruita of in dustry. while they themselves have INDIANS WANT TO REMAIN PROTEGES OF UNCLE SAMUEL V,’a*h'Won 'AP> — Indians of the weit, who opposed the invasion of their lands by white pioneers, to day are grateful for the protection of the government which cunqucred them.

(International Newsreel) permitted what they regarded as injustices to pass unheeded. Now the day or organization has arrived. Alba Julia disclosed the peasants in a new light. The gath ering of Rumanian peasants, esti i mated at anywhere from 40,000 to i 200,000, showed the sacrifices they were willing to make in time and ! effort to register dissatisfaction with j the government. And the order and discipline in evidence at the as sembly. as well as when the men ' dispersed quietly to resume their work in the fields, indicated that the land workers at least know how to control themselves. To onlook ers the meeting had little other than a moral effect, as the peasants' demand upon the governmnet to relinquish office was rejected by the ) regency. But political observers see in the meeting a close relation to the new movement, and as soon as the pres sure of agricultural work has lifted, the campaign to better the lot of the peasant will no doubt be con tinued with even greater vigor. For generations the peasant has re mained almost inarticulate. While social and industrial revolutions have proceeded and cultural systems have arisen, he has toiled on sub missive. forbearing, patient as the gleaner depicted bv Millais. But the peasant one stage removed from a serf has passed. An awakening has come, The peasant is demanding a "place 'n the sun." and In the new organization under hia burner there resides a power to be reckoned with, its potentialities and ramifications not confined within the central nnd southeastern states of Europe but | entire tribal council of 40 braves ! of the Osages in Oklahoma, recent ly came to Washington to protest to Chairman Leavitt of the horse Tndirn affairs fbmmitte# against a bill which proposes to plac* certain Indian agencies In the hands of the states.

Ancient Lore Confirmed. From Newark Star-Eagle Recent medical recognition of the vaiue of liver in the diet, especially as a blood builder in cases of ane mia, recalls to some antiquarians the fact that the Indians always chose the livers of the animals they had trapped, leaving the rest of the flesh to the white men in division to the carcasses. This was then quoted as proof of the red man's primitive ignorance. Now it appears that without knowing any scientific reason for it, he was a practical dietician—by instinct combined perhaps with experience. For many centuries Chinese phy sicians have prescribed the dried and powdered head of the toadfisn as a remedy for heart trouble. Now adrelin, most up-to-date drug for treatment of heart disease, has been found in the head glands of that fish . Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum mir.g oi the United States public health service, commenting upon those revelations, is quoted as ad vancing the rather sweeping ld.ii that any custom that has held its own for generations no matter how little it had appeared to be support etr by science, u likely to have something back of it.

Henry M. Stanley, who knew more about Africa than anyone else, traversed Its darkest part, and told the story of his travels under the title. "In Darkest Africa,” Stanley's white aides. Surgeon Thomas Parke and l.ieat. William Bonny, both published books Iti England after (heir return home, and others returned with them. So it Is untrue that Stanley's white aides perished as claimed by A. Aloy sius Smith, alias "Trader Horn." Leo pold, king of ihe Belgians, financed the expedition for the relief of Emin Pasha and the exploration of the Ton go. That is why the territory came under the Belgian flag. The simile "Dark as Egypt” may re late to the fact that the Egyptian* were superstitious, and. as people who were continually seeking omens, they avoided work on certain days.—Lit erary Digest.
