Some Warlike Females Who Fought Own Battle* Many married men suspect the truth of the legend of the Amazons, a race of warlike women who oace overran Europe, ventured as far as India and Africa and founded colonies in Asia Minor. Fairly authentic history records that in 1540 an explored, Francesco de Orellana, making his way from Peru to the Atlantic through the Brazils, was told of a tribe of warrior women who lived apart from the men. lie proceeded on his journey and approached the neighborhood at the junction of the Madera and Maranon rivers, and suddenly found himself op posed by a group of warlike women who were gathered on the banks and • were leading the men in what might hare been a battle, had the explorer given them any excuse for It. Being convinced that he had fallen on the renowned Amazons, Orellana cross-examined some of the natives, who confirmed his belief. The women appeared to be very till, robust» fair of complexion, with long hair twisted over their heads and skins of wild beasts wound around their loins. They carried bows and arrows with "which they succeeded in killing many of the explorer's party. - It is said to have been for these fair but ferocious enemies that Orellana named.th1e river Amazon., Figures Are Valuable • " ^ Only When Accurate Statistics are like knives; they can be used for good or evil, observes Dr. Thurman B. Kice in Hygeia. The commonest sentence beard in debates usually begins: "Statistics prove that--" But Doctor Rice warns that statistics prove nothing except when they have been accurately collected, compiled, interpreted and applied. In the hands of some devotee of a faddish project a given set of figures may prove or disprove anything. When oue hears a speaker quote figures from memory or without giving the source of his information it latime to go home, says Doctor Rice. It is easy to forget whether a certain deuth rate was 14 per thousand or 14 per hundred thousand. The unscientific man uses figures to prove what he started out to prove, while the scientist uses them to lead him to the truth. Tit Rapacious P8» The pike's reputation for cruelty and voraciousness is such that it has been popularly dubbed the "water wolf." It is probable, however, that many species of sea Ash are equally, if not a great deal more,, rapacious. Large dogfish, congers, pollack, cod and bass are especially ferocious, while0 halibut will very often seize and kill other large fish. An English angler was "playing" a large conger when a huge halibut swam up to and' savagely bit at it--a proceeding that cost the halibut its life, for on it making for the foundered conger a second time the boatman contrived to gaff and haul It aboard'. There have been many examples of pike being found dead, choked by their own species, and these fish not infrequently attack another pike that tog fypafl -hooked by a fisherman, vjl.' . . Big Berth* .."/..j-' "Big Bertha" hati a firing distance MRS. JULIA BISHOt* "" Mrs. Julia Bishop, who died at her' home at Medford, Ore., on May 2D, 1929, was a former resident of this city, h&ving been born at Ringwood on August -22, 1852. Julia Smith hiarried Ormus Bishop of this city, who died in 1879 and of late years, she has made her home with her son at Medford. She is survived by three sons, as well as by several relatives in this vicinity. A very fitting tribute was written to Mrs. Bishops life by a friend and neighbor, Mrs. Robert Reame, of Medford. It is as follows: ' "She is not gone-She is just away! Did you ever see anything sweeter? In the midst of that conservatory of flowers lying there so reggttjr am % couch of white satin. Not • one bit tired now! Just blissfully at peace Last long realized .-Gone Home. Ani oh, the perfect May day! God's Earth creation at its best; skieB ol blue-plush carpets of green; as fas as the eye can reach-foothills fit pat- A6!?18 L f°r Persian ruS3 and tapestries. All these suave colors intermingled into one grand design. Air balmy with odors from wild flowers here and there. And isn't it pretty up there on the top of that hill,at Jacksonville? Such a beautiful spot U> lay down one's tired body. The soul journeying on to scenes ethereal. Imagine the beauty she now behold*! And she so loved beauty! Her little home was a bower. The vibrations in that home were so restful and up* lifting. "Mrs. Bishop was no ordinary person. The royalty of the Gods was hers. How she loved every flower that opens its chalice to the sun! Her little porch-box of tulips in the spring, redecorated with pink geraniums in the summer, her vase of hot house creations in the autumn and winter. • Never was that living room devoid of cherry blossoms because loving hands always kept her -supplied. Passing on--to the progressive soul--is an arising; it is a glorious promotion to a V Higher Realm. And wasn't our neighbor "progressive ? Wasn't she interested in everything exalted and noble? "Mrs. Bishop was a Tperfept picture of 'growing old gracefully, graceful and fair'. How she loved those sons of hers; and how they in turn idealized that mother! That home was alT of purity, love and noble thoughts and I for one, feel blessed that I sometimes entered litis portals. In concluding I want to quote an excerpt from Edgar A. Guest: " 'We are all adventures who come to birth Adventures with pain, and grief and care, Life straps oil us the burdens we most bear, And sets us travelling the ways of earth, . The problem is: to find the ways of mirth, - The places sweet with beauty here and there; To brave the storms of trial and despair. And use our strength to Spirits worth. Death is the body's farewell and the soul's good-morrow.'" of 75 miles. The principle on which? are jnvited to attend servic this long-distance gun was operated is that if a shell Is fired upward at an angle of 55 degrees to the horizontal, and at a high velocity, so that the shell will' rise above the dense atmosphere close to the earth's surface and rapidly reach the thin air which exists at a height of ten miles above the earth, then its flight will be practically unimpeded and it will travel a great distance before It falls apiin. During its flight from the "Big Bertha" the German shell rose to a height of .24 miles, and traveled more than r>0 miles of H» course in a very tbtti atmosphere. SPECIAL SERVICES FOR GOLFERS AND CADDIES Golfers and caddies of the six golf courses surrounding Itasca, in Du- Page County, are now being pat to extreme limits to find alibis for nonattendance at church on Sundays, owing to the pastor, Rev. L. E. Bond, of the Presbyterian church of that city, establishing special services for their benefit. A Sunday school .for caddies is hefd at 7:30 Sunday morning with a special church service for golfers and other adults at 8 o'clock. An anteroom in the church has been designated as parking space for golf equipment (taring the church periods. Pastor Bond iff qpxtte enthusiastic over his new plan for combatting the "golf evil" in his church, which is surrtronded by six country clubs, MOTOR COACHES, LAKE . . GENEVA TO- CHTCAGW The Metropolitan Motor Coach company busses now run through McHenry from Chicago to Lake Geneva and return. The/husses stop at J;he Riverside hotel where tickets are sold and make trips every two hours during the day. Coaches going to Chicago leave the Riverside hotel at 11:43 a. m., 3:43 p. m. and 7:43 p. m., while coaches leave for Lake Geneva seven mihutOF later than the above schedule. This motor coach line will, no doubt, prove to be a great convenience to people of this community. . v « ROYAL ENTERTAINERS The~ Rdyal Entertainers met atf the home of Mrs. Theo.

" 1 TEmrr&C Stmrv flew Each Day Metrodorus of Chios (not to be confused with ffie four either Grecian philosophers of the same name) was a complete skeptic. He accepted the Deroocritian theory of atoms and Void and also believed In a plurality of worlds, but he had a .. very ingenious theory of his own by which he staunchly stood. He declared the stars were formed from day to day by the moisture In the air under the heat of the sun. His radical skepticism also is seen in one of his writings quoted by Cicero: "We know nothing, no^ not even whether we know or not!" His theory about the stars drew a lot -of contemptuous criticism but he canoe back at his critics with, "Everything- Is to eacli person only what It appears to- hfi* t« be." Protestant** Rrif Ctuirch The first Protestant church west off the Alleghenies was built near ther present town of New Philadelphia; Ohio, in' 1T72. A town was startedthere In that year by Rev. David Zeisbergeri Moravian missionary, -and his band of 28 Christian Indian followers. Soon a larger body of Christian Indians arrived; and the place acquired a log schoolhouse (also the premier one in the Middle West), the above mentioned choreh, about 40 cabins and the community thrived. Much religious and educational work was carried on, but about five years later the town* was destroyed by hostile Indians; Its location was lost /and Hot rediscovered untlM023.

METHODIST CHURCH Variety in London Odd conditions are frequently brought to light in connection with the boroughs In London. Often opposite stdes of streets are in different boroughs. One pavement will be II luminated by incandescent gas; across the road electric light is used. The dustbins of the "odds" are more fre qnently emptied than those of the "evens." A child living at No. 41 may attend a school from which No. 42's infants are debarred. And in certain districts it is quite common to see, at the closing hour of a 'public house on one side of the road, little groups crossing the street to where an extra half-hour's license permits of "Just another!" at the M.
