RED OLOUD. NEBRASKA. CHIEF nuuMuaua Finds Clues to "Lost Atlantis .Englishman's Discoveries Renew Interest in Story of Plato's Submerged Continent. TAPESTRIES LIKE PHARAOH'S Believes Indians of San Bias Hlnter- land Are Survivors of Raco Which Inhabited Atlantis Had Narrow Eocapeo. Colon, Panama. The Lost Atlnntln has bobbed up again, this time In rntinnin. An Englishman, Mitchell Hedges, recently nintlo n two days' journey Into the inountulna of tlio Snn Bins hlnterlnnd, mid cnnio bnck with lila suspicions that the Chnuquunuquu Indians nro tlio survivors of the once proud Inhnhltunts of Pinto's sub merged continent. Ho brought the suspicions In tlio Bhnpo of tapestries with designs so much like those of Pharaoh's wives that ho must linvo tho experts of tho British museum nnd of nil tho world to pronounce upon them. Incidentally lio put President Harding's namo on !the map In tho shnpo of n "now" mountain, some 8,000 feet lilgh; King jGoorgc got nnother of similar altitude, and Doctor Porrns n whole range. Tho explorer had tho usunl nurrow escapes from Imminent denth by sen and land, nnd has sot tongues wagging about tho likelihood of tho Isthmus bolng tho tall-end or head-end of tho 'Atlnntenn continent. Both Sides of the Case. Although nn American ethnologist, William II. Bnbeock, has burled At lantis for tho last of many times In Is present book, "Legendary Islands of thc Atlnntlc," published by tho (American Geographical society, this latest resurrection Is likely to stir tho protagonists of tho missing link be tween Gibraltar and Panama to Ufa again also. The biggest friend of tho long-lost l&lo Is a German, Hcrr Prof. Fro benlus of Berlin, who traversed much of West Africa to seo If there wero not somo leavings of tho lost there, and ho professed to bo qulto con vinced that thero arc. Professor Welncr of Harvard, from n study of tho similarities of plants nnd animals of Africa nnd South America, Inclines to the hypothesis thnt tlio sons of Ham once pnsscd dry-shod from tho Sene gal to tho Amazon, or vlco versa. It Is understood thnt If Hercules had not gotten home-sick when ho had the job of holding up Mount Atlas .'for a while ho might hnvo beaten Co lumbus by somo 4,000 years, nnd that 'too, by walking over to Colon, but Urn Greek explorer hnd enough of It with that llttlo job around Morocco, so ho Here Is a Fine CSg,s,;fr.&te, Tho British ministry of transport Is looking for a purchaser of tho harbor of Itnrusgate.

Tho seal of royal npprovnl again hns been bestowed on court trains. Indeed, no woman can bo presented at court who does not wear one. Of course, as a man tho lord chamber lain cannot prcsumo to bo nn expert on fUBhlohablo fcmlnlno dress,, but It Is one of his many ofllclal duties to lay down tho rules and regulations ? - hot up his pillars and went home to his wife, thereby leaving dissension iimong antiquarians for 50 centuries. Tapestries In Evidence. Mitchell-Hedges comes ns tho cf max of a number of explorers who have boon dipping Into tho San lllns problem, nnd mnybo ho has the key. lio hns the iidvnntngo of tho labors of many predecessors In his task. He hns the tapestries, and they look llko the work of tho Hebrew children who inndo clothes for Barneses or maybe, ho says, they nro like Aztec work. At any rate they aro llko tho work of other peoplo than mcro Indians; nnd how could thoso mountnlneers get thoso designs except by having them handed down from tho folks who crossed tho sea when It wasn't any sen at nil? Moreover, tho men In the mountains wore grent big eurrlngs of solid gold. Who taught them to dig for gold? Tho problem Is truly formidable, and ono may watch tho ethnological Journuls now with Interest. Must Pay $10 to Enter Germany Foreign Office Now Charges Same as United States Would Tax Entrants.

But they would havo lengthened their blessings. If ho had lengthened tlio trains. Beforo the war three yurds was their regula tion length, while Queen Victoria didn't consider four yards too long.

JUNIOR TOI'IC-Ezcklel Watches and Warns iRrncl. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Facing a Hard Task. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Tho Duty of Warning Others. I. Ezeklel'a Call (vv. 1, 2). 1. Commanded to Stand Up (r. 1). Ezeklol was given a vision of the Al mighty Cod on His throne of glory (ch. 1). Before the vision the prophet fell prostrate upon his face. The es sential equipment of n minister for tho discharge of his tnsk Is a vision of tho Almighty. 2. Filled With the Spirit (v. 2). By tho Spirit the divine energy entered him and enabled him to execute tho commission given to him. II. Ezeklcl's Commission (vv. 38). 1. The Moral Condition of tho Peo ple (vv. 8, -1). (1) A rebellious nation (a 3). This U'belllousness perhaps re ferred to their heathen Idolatrous prac tices. (2) Impudent children (v. 4). "Impudent" literally means "hard of face." It means the grossest perver sity which caused them to stand up In tho presence of the prophets of God without a bnso of guilt or compunc tion of conscience. 2. The Chnrgo (v. 4). He was to de liver the mesHage of God. He was to declare, "Thus saith the Lord God." 3. The Difficulty of His Tnsk (vv. 5 8). He was to deliver the message of God whether they would hear or fore bear. III. Ezeklcl's Experimental Qualifi cations (2 :!)-! :10). Before ono can prench to others ho must hnve an experience must bo In sympathetic accord with God nnd His message. 1. Eating the Book (2:0-8:0). This book contained God's woes upon tho stiff-necked nnd rebellious people (v. 10). In order to speak God's threatcn lngs effectively to others we must In wardly digest and appropriate them ourselves. The eating of the book wns In his mouth as honey for sweetness. Though his ministry was dlfllcult and the judgment severe, the prophet wns In entire sympathy with God's pur pose nnd found delight In Ills will. 2. Urged on by the Spirit (3:10-14). In order to strengthen Ezeklel for his task, the wonderful symbolism of God's provldentlul agencies which had been "jeforc him lu chapter 1 was brought to his attention, assuring him that God would accompany him to his new destination. 3. Entering Into Sympathy (v. 15). In order to minister to n people ono must enter Into sympathy with them; muut show that the message Is from the depth of the heart; thnt to declare, the message of woo Is n great grief. Kzoklcl mingled his tears with theirs. IV. Ezeklcl's Grave Responsibility, (3:17-21). God made him a watchmnn. Every minister Is u watchman over his Hock. Two things were required of him : 1. To Hear the Word at God's Mouth. The source of his message, was God's Word. So today the minis ter is to get Ids niessugo from God. 2. Sound the Warning (v. 17). After ho heard God's message ho wns to speak It out. The same duty Is upon tho minister today. Cases In point for his guidance (vv. 18-21) : (1) When God says to the wicked "Thou shalt surely die" (v. 18), and the watchman fulls to warn him, tlio wicked man shall die lu his Iniquity, but his blood shall bo required ut tho watchman's hand. (2) If tho watchman warn the wick ed and the warning Is unheeded (v. 10), the wicked man shall perish, but tho watchman hns delivered his soul. . (3) When a righteous mnn turns to do Iniquity and God gives him over to stumbling In his own sin, his past seeming righteousness will bo of no avail, but his blood will be required ut tho hand of the wntchmun If he fall to warn him (v. 20). (4). If tho watchman so warns tho righteous man that he fall not Into sin, the man shall be saved und the watch mnn bath delivered his soul. : Ministers have most solemn obliga tions, thnt of discharging their obliga tion whether nieu will hear or fore fear. The Wise 8hal Understand, Many shall bo purlllcd nnd mado white, and tried; but tho wicked 6hall do wickedly; und nono of tho wicked! bliall understand; but tho wise shall' understand. Daniel 12:10.
