The chlet tunc tlons of the movie Is to entertain, in. struct and amuse, therefore, it Is deadly. Bigotry and prudery, like wild mustard and Bolshevism, once they get a tall hold are difficult to pry loose. ; :, ' Most people can see the Justness In prohibition, but they can not see harm' in the sweet wlnsomeness of Norma Talmadge, or the antics of the cock-eyed comedian setting down on a hot horseshoe. The fllniB preach sermons, often with an effectiveness the pulpit might envy. Much of the opposition to prohibi tion comes from the fear that it will be only a wedge to open the way for an avalanche of half-baked reform theories, fathered and mothered by Belf-appointed emissaries who will Impose hairtrlgger notions - galore, that serve no good, and accomplish nothing except to annoy. Somebody Is always predicting a "social upheaval." 'Efforts to deprive people of the "movies" and similar amusements, is liable to bring an "upheaval" the unexpected way.

THE HOME STUDY TOUR TVT ORALS," said Ruskin 'arc the result of home envir iVx 'onment. Home environment is not the result of morals. No man or woman will -respond to eithical per suasion if surrounded by filth and discomfort, and no man will either be a good citizen or a good worker, if he lives in dirt and material squalor." , In other words a comfortable home, sunnlied with con veniences and free from depressing confusion, is. the first step to a. self -respecting and efficient emzensmp. it ife particularly important in rural .communities and of tre mendous moment to the rural housewife. . The home study tour in Jackson county which will he held May 21st and 22nd, is designed to give a practical demonstration of what has been done by local ranchers in the way of making their.horaes more convenient and more attractive. The ladies of Phoonix will be hostesses the first day and the ladies of the Greater Medford Club will serve coffee near the Carpenter home tjicseaond 4a'. Pro fessor Peck of 0. A. C. will be on hand, to give suggestions and explain the advantages in the arrangement - and equipment of the homes visited. This is another excellent movement, promoted by.; the county rural agents, C. C. Gate and Miss Anne McCormick, and should be heartily supported by the people of Southern Oregon. - No individuals in the community are doing more valuable work and more practical constructive service than Mr. Cate and Miss McCormick, and with the visit ing nurse, Miss McGrail, they deserve the praise and gratitude of every resident of the county. .'' '.,-') This Home Study tour should be a splendid success, and be made a permanent feature of the rural reconstruc tion movement in this part of the state." - iThe Skull of Sultan Okwama WASHINGTON, May 19. "Ger many is to restore within six months . . . the skull of the Sultan Okwana, formerly In German East Africa," lo his Britannic majesty's government." ''This sentence from the official summary of the peace treaty present ed to the Germans at Versailles set official Washington wondering and swamped libraries and scientific in stitutions In the capital with Inquir ies," says a bulletin from the Nat ional Georgrapnic society. "Among some tribes of Africa, in cluding German East Africa, skulls of former rulers, called sultans, are held in high veneration, and their possession often 1b of marked politi cal value. , ' "There are numerous tribes in German East Africa alone, and as many of these sultans as there are tribes. It, is apparent that Sultan Okwana was a sort of Mohammed or Confucius among his clansmen, and that the nation which assumes sover eignty over the people who revefe his memory, and probably worship his skeletal remains, will be received with greater friendliness if it can re store the pre Ioub talisman, "Furthermore the removal of the skull sheds a sidelight upon the long arm of German propaganda, reaching even into darkest Africa In contem plation of 'der tag' of Prussia's day under the scorching equatorial sun. "The German government contrib uted a goodly sum lor an expedition headed by Adotphus Frederick, Duke of Mecklenburg, which ostensibly made a scientific study of the Ger man protectorate in Africa in 1901- 08. "There is good reason to 'believe that the explorers were not wholly unaware of political advantages and by way of a tribal coup d'etat took away with them the skull which now has gained such unlooked for public ity. '.'' "The duke wrote a book about his travels in which ho states, in sum marizing the results of his expedi tion, that '1,017 skulls and about 4000 ethnographlca were collected.' . "Ho described visits to various sultans.' At one point he digresses from botany and linguistics to give this naive comment on German pol icy:, 'It is desired to strengthen and enrich the sultan and persons: , in authority, "and to increase thereby their interest In the countenance ofl German rule . . . At the same time, by stondlly controlling and dirpctitiR TO BE- '-' " . ' , .V . - V what appears to be therein safe now to remove the ban the sultan and using his powers, civ ilizing influences would be introduc ed. Thus by degrees, and almost Im perceptibly to the sultan himself, he eventually becomes nothing less than the executive instrument of the resi dent (German governor),' But Germany's early policy In her African colonial expansion was mark ed by no such adrojt methods; rather by just such disregard of native cus toms and ruthless measures as that indicated by her removal of the skull referred to in the treaty. Karl Pet ers, one of the ;irst Germans to seek to exploit African resources, institut ed such a reign of terror among the natives by inhuman treatment and especially by wholesale murders of their women that the German gov ernment was compelled to remove his commission until the storm of civil ized protest blew over. . "But Peters was soon restored and other, bureaucratic German officials rudely deposed native rulers, instead of cooperating with them as did the British, and thus incited numerous native uprisings. One of these, in 1906, cost, nearly 125,000 native lives before the Africans succumbed to the same sort of terrorism as that Instituted Iri Belglum' In 1914.' "The duke commented on. the gen erosity of the natives in presenting gifts but noted that 'yet .the purchase of ethnographical matorlal met with obstinate opposition.' He explained that each clan reveres some totem, believing that the spirit of the de ceased enters these objikts of rever ence.. , ' "The totem Is Just as apt to be an animal, or part of an animal the duke mentions the toad, crested crane, the leopard, and the goat as a skull. Incidentally this fact helps explain the reverence of the old time southern 'Darkey for such tokens as the 'left hind leg of a grave yard rab bit caught on a dark night.'
