REAL SECRET OF THE CZECH
Enthusiasm In Everything la One of
the Moat Prominent of His
Characteristics.
It you ask tbe Czech himself, he will
tall you that the secret of ilia life is
enthusiasm. Ha •■alls it love—love ot
country, which lays dowu Ilf* without
question or stint; love of beauty,
without which he considers life stupid,
teltber to be lived through with Joy
nor departed from with dignity. In
this *»th*tlc apprehension which we
4all by ths thiu ami unsatisfactory
word "taste” the Czech is like the
1 ranch—surely he must be likened
•ooner or later to the French!—bear¬
ing tba mark of a race old in livlug,
rich in tradition, discerning in its ap
pmUtion*. He i«, too, a lover ot
leve, worshiping women; a lover of
life, more Joyous than tbe Russian,
lover U«ht minded than the Gaul. A
not of the form, but of the sub¬
stance. Life is short; youth is short.

think, to love, to be aware of that com

USES FOR HORNS IN CHINA
Pill* and Marvelous Tonics Ar*
Among the Many Things Manu¬
factured From Them.
Water buffalo and ox horns in China
arc worked into lanterns, some of
strikingly large size and quite trans¬
parent, .-ay* a writer in the Boston
Evening Transcript. They also find
many oilier uses tn China, including
the manufacture of combs, shoe horns
and backs of hair, tooth and other
brushes. Prior to the antiopium cam
paign the principal use made of these
horns wits in the manufacture of
opium cups or boxes for [lacking and
storing opium for home consumption.
Horn lanterns in China are made from
the hoofs as well as the horns of aui
inals. Deer, reindeer and mountain
goat horns are valuable in China for
manufacture into medicine, Stag
horns are particularly valuable, but
useful only during a certain time of
the year. From the stag horns pills
are made that are reputed to have
marvelous tonic and rejuvenating
qualities. About a million pounds of
water buffalo and ox horns and *
thousand pairs of deer horns were ex¬
ported during 1917, the latter prob¬
ably fop the medicinal use of Chinese
populations abroad. Ivory ware Is pe

BANDING TOGETHER TO SPREAD GOSPEL

Nashville, Tenn.—One hundred and ,

I pray for the success of the missionary
work of the M. E. t’hurrh. louth. and
for the spread of Christianity through
out the world. These people have not

Fellowship of Intercession, each sign

will make the cau*e for which they
pray more definite in the minds of the

Atlanta, Qa—The Victory Loan
eaatpaiga has got off to a living start
te Judge from the telegrams pouring in
upen the district headquarters within
the am few days of the big drive. That
the Sixth Federal Reserve District

indicated by the early results/though
it wMl require the co-operation of every
citizen to make success assured
The announcement of the terms of
the Victory Loan did a great deal to
inspire subscriptions from those who
invested from a business standpoint as
wall as from patriotic motives. The
notes pR,y 4 3/4%, the highest interest
ef any of the Liberty Loan series, and
are payable by the government in four
years after date. This high interest
and the short term makes them cer¬
tain te remain at a high figure, finan
eiers say, and (here will be no dan¬
ger of their dropping to a discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc¬
ed positively that this will be the last
ef the Liberty loans. It will pay the
Mil for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys beok home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was mere elaborately
decorated than ever before in history,
la several of the larger olties the "fly¬
ing circus’’ of airplanes fought mimic
battles in the air high above the
street*. Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta en May 1.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are repotting that the Victory
loan Is easier to put over than they
had expected.
"Our people have net lost their pa¬
triotism,” they report. "There was
an apparent apathy. Ws had begun
te believe the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use in
subscribing to mere bonds. But we
were wrong. The American—city man,
town man, farmer,—is willing to pay
hie share of the wer MU, and he is

Proposals For Lifting

Paris. — The supreme economio

terials, notably cotton, to Germany
to enable the factories there to start
work and to relieve the unemployment
which is said to be at the bottom
of much of the disorder in Germany.
The council, it is said, also will re¬
vise regulations for German exports
required to pay for food imports and
probably will discuss the new eco¬
nomic situation created by the slack¬
ening of the blockade regulations as
applied to Germany’s nsutral neigh¬
bors.

Countries adjoining Germany virtually
without restriction, the neutrals them¬
selves assuming responsibility against
the re-export of prohibited wares to
Germany. The “blacklist” rationing
and allied control regulations will be
abolished from that date.
Shipments may be made freely af¬
ter April 25 from tbe United States
and associated countries when con¬
signed to neutral control organiza¬
tions. such as the Netherlands over¬
seas. trust and the Swiss society of
surveillance, without the necessity of
cabling applications back and forth
