KIND WORDS FOR AMERICA MARK
MEMORABLE FINAL HOURS AT
GENEVA.
Geneva^—-The fifth assembly of the
League of Nations ended its labors by
unanimously adopting a resolution reo
o.m in ending that all states accept the
. protocol of arbitration and security.
Apart from the elaboration of the
protocol for the peaceful settlement
>i international disputes, the out
standing feature of the sessions was
the insistence of the delegates that
economic problems, popularly regald
J d as belonging exclusively to the
domestic jurisdiction of states, must
he solved on an international basis,
if all causes of war really would be
removed.
' This insistence was voiced by sev
eral speakers, especially those rep
resenting France; it is implied in the
protocol itself, and for a time domi
nated the discussion of the Kuropean
jurists as they strove to fashion a
pact which would not unduly alarm
all nations which jealousy guarded
the doctrine of states’ rights.
The idea behind the movement, as
explained by the jursts, is that the
league of nations, having decided to
outlaw all war, logically must turn
to all possible causes of conflict and
endeavor to eradicate them. Fed by
the growing spirit of internationalism,
as a complement to nationalism and
state sovereignty, the jurists contend
ed world as a whole, such as immi
gration and equitable distribution of
raw materials, can not longer be left
to the exclusive control of any state
or states, but must be examined with
a view to their equitable settlement
in the beat interest of all, so that
economic causes of war may be elimi
nated.
(f
Kind words for America and Ameri
cans marked the memorable closing
hours of the assembly—which the
Chinese delegation made dramatic by
getting up and solemnly walking out
of the auditorium when the assembly
refused to grant China a non-perman
ent seat in the council.
EXPERT DECLARES SOUTH AND-
WEST OPTIMISTIC; LITTLE
v CHANGE IN EAST. *
Two Workmen Fall to Death.
Greensboro— Falling from a 225-
foot smokestack here. Fritz Deitrick
and James Waycaster, two workmen,
were killed, the former instantly, the
latter dying a few minutes later. The
tragedy occurred at tlij heating plant
of the North Carolina College for
Women.
The two men had gone up inside
the stack to install a heavy brass
ornament at the top of the stack,
which had been completed, after sev
eral other men had balked at the
task. They volunteered. It is not
known just how tie- accident occurred,
one theory being that a piece of tim
ber they carried caught in the hoisting
nvii-chanism and wrecked the support
ing beam. And under the strain the
men were thrust from the inside of
the track, over the edge and fell to
its foot. .1
R. K. Rufty, eniineor on the ele
valor, said he had | mark on the oahle
which indicated when to stop, and that
he stopped as usual. Then he hap
pened to lQOk__yp and saw the frame
work falling A second later the men
fell In a mud hole at the bottom of
the stack
Dietrick s neck was broken, left arm
broken In three places, bone penetrat
ing fiesh, and ribs fractured. Way-
caster had right arm broken, shoulder
crushed, chest and upper part' of body
mangled When men arrived at the
foot of the stack, he was clutching at
his throat, eyes distended, tongue out,
gasping for brbath.
Lad Prevents Wreck of Train.
Greenville. N C.—Waddell Fornes, a
15 year old boy, living near here, was
the hero of an incident that probably
prevented a serious train wreck, ae-
.cording to a story told by members of
the crew- of a Norfolk Southern pas
senger, train
The boy, almost breathless from
running, climbed on to the engine Just
is it Avas leaving the yards here, ac-
•orcling to the story told by engineer
1 It. HunLer. He managed to gasp
'washouts head.” The engineer pro-
■eedtcl cautionsly under the direction
it the boy, stopping where the youth
told him to.
The engineer said the track looked
sound enough from the cab but inves-
igation showed that the embankment
lad been undermined for many feet
jy flood waters. The train returned
tere and remained while the track
was being repaired.
Slayer of Imbrie is Shot.
Washington.—The state department
was notified by cable of the execution
ay a firing squad at Teheran, Persia.
>f Private Morteza, Persian army
frapsport corps, convicted by court
narrial of having been implicated in
he murder of American Vice Consul
Robert. W. Imbrie. The execution oc-
urre d at th,e- Kasr Kadjar barracks,
‘nst outside of Teheran, pnd ‘‘fn the
presence of the ent re garrison ”
An interpreter from the American
cation witnessed the shooting ot the
soldier.
Washington.—The department of
agriculture made puolic a report from
A. R. Genung, agricultural economist
for the 'department, declaring that agri
culture is swinging toward p^r and
not in five years lias the United States
presented so nearly a picture of bal
anced prosperity as now. The report
was made after he had returned from
a tour of the leading agricultural, sec
tions of the country.
"Go into the South this ft’ 1 and you
will be impressed with its prosperity-
Mr. Genung said. “Last year went a
long way to wipe out the pressing
burden of indebtedness. Another cot
ton crop bringing $1,500,000,00,1) cash,
plus a fairly good season for truck
crops, potatoes, rice and small fruits,
will put the South into a very comfor
table position. General sentiment
throughout the region is distinctly op
timistic.”
The report said that “the East is go
ing into the winter on about the same
basis as the last two years. The pre
vailing frame of mind among farmers
is rather static.
“Farmers in the corn belt," the re
port continued, ( “are in better spirits
than for four years—not so much from
any great increase in income as from
a feeling that the stage is being set
for better times.”
The wheat belt was described as be-
Ing In “better shape than for four
years,” and in the Western spring
wheat territory, “where no one has had
a new- pair of shoes since the winter
of 1919 1920, there is particular re
joicing.- Men are inclined once more
to regard the wheat country as good
property.
“The situation in the range country
is somewhat mixed in that sheepmen
and growers of grain and many irri
gated crops are in very fair shape,
while cattlemen are just the reverse.
The catRe situation remains an
enigma.
Three Hang From Same Gallows.
Jonesboro. La.—Freeman Coleman,
Booker Boone and Willie Washington,
negro moonshiners, were hanged here
for the murder on August 22 of Sheriff
E. M. Rentz. of Jackson parish.
They were executed simultaneously

Elmer Templeton sprung the trap .as
12:17 o'clock and the negroes were pro-
nounced dead eight minutes later.
Coleman's neck was broken and
Boone and Washington strangled to
death. ’
Mrs. E. M. Rentz. widow of the Jate
official, was admitted to the enclosure
where the scaffold had been erected a
few minutes before the time fixed for
the execution and saw the negroes die.

Frank were. The boys, replied they
supposed they had gone over Into Lin
coln park to play. The father searched
the neighborhood, but could find no one
who had seen them. The mothers re
turned from the shopping trip. Little
Rose was awakened from her nap and
questioned.
“O, Pete and Frankie are sleeping
in tliebrunk in the front room," the

Simple Arrangement to
Remove Wire Insulation
When using a knife to remove the
Insulation from a cotton or rubber-
covered wire It often results In a cut
finger. Also, If this work Is not done
carefully, It Is possible that a small
fragment of copper in the shape of a
splinter will lie run into the band.
Herein is described a little device
which will safely and easily remove
the insulation from any size wire. All
that is required Is a strip of spring
brass 1-10 of an inch thick, 10 inches
long, and IK inches wide. This piece
of brass slnmld he hent into the shape

shown in the diagram. The two edges
of the wire scraper should then be
sharpened on one side only. To use
this device it is held in the hand and
the Jaws forced together over the wire
so that it cuts through the insulation.
It is now pulled towards the end of
the wire and if necessary the opera
tion is repeated two or three times
until all of the insulation Is removed.

Fans Advised to Use
Jack for Every Stage
Tbe pn sent tendency of many radio
set builders is to. employ only one
jack for tli.e detector and two stage.
While the builder is hound to do away
with a lot of connections, etc., when
following this sebeme, at the same
time he is a loser. When, only onr; jack
is used for the detecior and amplify
ing units, and trouble arises, the read
er is at a loss to ascertain in short
order whether the trouble lies in the
detector, the first or second stage nm-
plitieE If a jack were available in
the detector, tirst and second stage,'it
would he possible at once to discover
the location of the trouble by simply
“plugging in" on the various units.
—Therefore, when building a set, the
feasible tiling to do is to have a sep
arate jack for each unit.

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
“A Blessing to Suffering Women,” Writes One
Louisville, Illinois.— I certainly
thank you for the great benefit I have
received from taking Lydia E. Pink-
bam’s Vegetable Compound. I first
learned about it from my step-mother
who got so much help from iL Sev
eral years ago I took it for inward
weakness and since then I have taken
it during the Change of Life and it
has been a great help to me. It
certainly is a blessing to suffering
women and I take pleasure in recom
mending it. My health has been
better this summer than it has been
for five years. I am now able to do
all my work and have canned 340
quarts of fruit and vegetables this
summer.” — Mrs. Kate McPeak,
Louisville, Illinois.
Wants Letter Used As Proof
Frankford, Pennsylvania.—“I am
sure if women who suffer through
tbe Change of Life as I have, with
hot flashes, nervousness and other
weaknesses, would give Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Coiflpound a
trial they would be benefited as I
was. My perves were so bad that
every little noise made me jump, but
now I am not bothered that way at
all. My husband sayu he really hated
to look at me I looked so miserable.
I hope vou will use this letter as proof
of the nelp the Vegetable Compound
isgivingme.”—Mrs. Abbie Harvet,

Forced To Remain in Bed
Carlisle, Illinois.— "During the
Changeof Life I suffered with severe
nervousness and with disturbances of
the entire system. These continued
probably two years before I began
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound. I could do none of
my work and was not always able to
be up. For ten days at a time I was
forced to remain in bed with my hips
propped higher than my head and the
pains were terrible. The doctor
helped some but each time I was
forced to go over the same suffering.
I had taken the Vegetable Compound
in 1910 after my twins were bom and
it had helped me so I decided to try
it again. I became better and gained
in strength. I have taken it for
about three years now but not
steadily. I am able to do my house
work but I avoid all heavy lifting and
washing and ironing as I know I am
not strong enough yet I give theVeg-
etable Compound to my daughters
and recommend it to my friends.”—
Mrs. Louisa B. Brand, .450 Fairfax
Street, Carlyle, Illinois. *
