A Six II If TO THE || WE WILI || ONE MA || ABSOLU || THE CHI t? I t IT || s. kass: ii II Mennonites Will Emigrate to Mexico ' \ El Paso, Texas, Nov. 17.?One oi the largest migrations of Christian people of modern history is that ol about 200,000 Mennonites, 50,000 families, from Canada to Mexico, which mill knxin rru_:_ a 1- - - "'?! wtftlll A/vvvIll L/tTi AIltTir ireiv 1H expected to last two years. The Mennonites for the past year have been looking for a. new home, claiming unjust treatment in Canada during the World War. Eight nations have invited them. Land "sharps," "boomers" and others have tried to influence them. After a dozen trips to Mexico, during which representatives conferred with President Alvero Obregon and officials of the Mexican immigration service, the leaders almost decided to settle in Mexico. Then editorials from various sources, save Mexican, declared the Mennonites were "making a ' mistake," that religious freedom ^ ..which they have sought could not be guaranteed them under the Mexican constitution. Another trip was made to Mexico and state and national governments assured the Mennonites that they could worship God as they pleased, that they could hold all the tenets of their religion and could enter that country and make their permanent home. Canadian Mennonites hold the same belief as early members of the sect who settled in the United States?that of non-resistance. The Mennonites, in defending their belief, declared that they suffered less in the early days at the hands of the Indians than did others who waged warfare against the savages. The Mennonites still refuse to enter any war. Another peculiar custom of those people is the washing of feet, lney say that the command of Christ to the woman to wash His feet stands on the {4 same spiritual level as His acts of distributing food and drink to the hungry and thirsty. To the Mennonites the story related by St. Luke is comparable to the ones other Chrisment tians regard, including the sacrament and communion. _ Community DroDertv is another # ?r r ^ belief of some Mennonites, although it la not general. The members of the sect cooperate in building roads, school houses and churches. The removal of the Men/ion ites to America came about when William Penn had been granted land for his Quaker followers. He was told of Mennonites who Had fled from Germany to Holland and his Quakers came to their aid. The Quakers are credited with helping them financially and in colonising parts of Ohio, Indi .

During the past year few of the sect have settled in Floi | ida. For years there were 14 independ ent bodies of Mennonites, but year 1 ago the sect was reunited. The Mennonites will settle in Chi huahua and* Durango, principally i the former state. Options have beei > taken on land in both states and im provements are being made on on large tract, the Bustillos hacienda, o ranch, near Bustillos and Chihuahu; ' City. The colonists hifve paid 25,00 pesos to hold this tract, the money be ing on deposit to the credit of the Zu loaga family, heirs of the large lam owner, Carlos Zuloaga. The purchas price is 600,000 pesos. New Broom Sweeps Clean Tiflis, Soviet Republic of Georgia Nov. 17..?(By a Staff Corresponden of The Associated Press).?The So viet government here is much mor< active than that of Moscow. It is i case of the new broom that sweepi clean. It has been supposed that since the destruction of the democrat ic Georgian RepubUc by the Eleventl Red Army, last February the govern ment here was of the kind jocularlj caller "ersatz" in Germany, that is a sort of harmles substitute for thi real thing. While in Soviet Russia, the Re< flag and the bayoneted Red soldieri are going out of style, these two at tributes of new freedom are much ii evidence here. Automobiles whiz along bearing re< banners, these banners are likewiw flown from many public buildings an< passes are strictly examined on traini by shaggy persons armed with knif< and pistol, which every true-blu< Communist has a right to wear. Strange persons, probably intern on pocketbooks and forgotten or mis laid baggage, represent themselves a: members of the Cheka, (coommitte* against counter-revolution), when in terrupted. This is quite a pastimi with young roughs. On the contrary in greater Russia, the Cheka is i gumshoe affair, and when it take: anything, it does so when nobody ii looking; It covers its train even when it makes arrests so thoroughly that the near relatives of the arrestee are left in doubt. Here, when the Cheka makes ai arrest and later executes, near rela lives are broadly informed, whet they bring food to the prison, thai the person in question no longei needs food, and they had best discon. tinue their visits. i /' x ' a A^A A^A A^A A^4 A^A A Wriy l[|?rl?JP WF a wP Wr f^f Ak A^A A^A A.fL .^>.

It set out to a reform the currency and improve ex^ di 'change and general commercial con- C1 ditions, and took the short cut of arresting 700 of the leading merchants g( 8 of the country. They were told they would be shot within a week unless they made a contribution of 25,000,n 000,000 rubles to ? the "sanitation ar n fund." They were short half this sun, y< about $200,000 in real money. For ]e the other half a committee was released to visit the Near East Relief ^ ^ where the sum was asker for in the ~~ form of a loan. As the loan was not made, the merchants returned to j prison, and were later released, after giving promissory notes to pay the sum. 01 Curious StoTy of Insects New Haven, Conn., Nov. 19.?Prob^ ably evjery one who has walked ki through meadows in early summer has noticed masses of froth on grass * stems and wondered at them. Various D fanciful names have been given them f'1 such as "snake*spit" and "frog-spit." p '* A few possibly have examined the j' "froth" and found in it an insect. Few M others than entomologists know just w what species is responsible for it. ^ f The common notion that these insects cj ' are young grasshoppers is incorrect. II' ? Profesor Philip Garman, assistant '? entomologist of the Connecticut ^ * Agricultural Experiment station, has yr s made a study of this insect and is the It - first to discover and describe the egg 1 stage. M He found that the curious frothy tl 1 balls are made by immature suck? ing insects of the family Cercopidae, I commonly known as "frog-hoppers.' s They are' closely allied to leaf-hop- b< ? pers but their life story has not been ? ? told until now. ^ The insect is found to do injury to ai t grass; there is one brood each year; ? . the eggs are laid late in the summer j and fall in the sheath of grass stems s I wo or uiree incites ironi the ground. The egg stage lists from 281 to 233 ha i days and they hatch late in May. inj The spittle glands of the adults are 0t] j indicated by yellow spots on the abdo- ch s men. By taking in air and expelling ed ? it under a sticky substance, a froth pe ( is made which soon surrounds the in- ca sect. Moults take place within the j froth until the hopper is able to fly. ^jr The froth protects the insect from ca . parasitic enemies. \ nr , | On the day after the marriage cer- J ^ emorty the native bridegroom of Wast r Africa shows his appreciation of his wife by powdering her head with fine clay.
