WAR DAMAGE

TT TAKES many years, often cen-turles, to build up a great city,

but when the dogs of war are let loose, they can level it to the ground In a few days or weeks. They know all about that in the world famous city of Shanghai, where in a few days $275,000,000 worth of property has been wreck-ed by the furious fighting between Japanese and Chinese.

I t Is strange that some people are unable to see that this des-truction and loss weighs heavily on all the people. When property Is destroyed, commercial interests have to charge more for their goods, and everybody loses. One of those countries Is ruled by a fierce mili tary clique, which seems to th ink It can produce human wel-fa re by killing and destroying.

WILL ROGERS MEMORIAL

P R E S I D E N T ROOSEVELT ve-toed a bill tha t would appropri-

a te $100,000 toward the cost of a memorial to Will Rogers. The president thought the type of me-morial should be specified In such legislation, and that the famous humorist would have desired some form of memorial tha t would br ing happiness to mankind.

A beautiful monument In Mr. Rogers ' honor would do much to keep his memory* alive. Yet only a small par t of the people would ever see I t Some kind of educa-tional Institution might be a still f iner use for this money. If worthy boys and girls were constantly given a s tar t In life through the fund given to honor this friend of mankind, his memory- would for-ever be kept alive.

ASKING FOR IT •

C O M E restaurants used to dls-play prominently a notice which

said. "If you don't see what you want , ask for it". Thereby they showed understanding of a pro-found truth. It Is so In most rela-tions of life, that If you don't get wha t you want, you have to ask for that thing, or you won't get It.

Many business concerns don't quite realize that truth. They don't usually have the trade they w a n t and that being so. the thing to do Is to ask for It by advertising. In that way they will get more trade. Otherwise It will come very slow.

NOISY AIRPLANES

TN SOME locations where many airplanes are flying overhead,

there Is complaint that some of them fly too low and make too much noise. Perhaps some airplane learners take pleasure In flying over their home neighborhoods, and showing In a noisy way what great stunts they are performing.

WHY CONSTITUTION LASTED

f p H E 150th anniversary of the completion of the United States

constitution, which occurs Sept. 17, 1937, raises the question as to what were the causes tha t made this great document so unusually suc-cessful. Most of the republican governments organized around the world have been failures. Ideal-istic people would star t such sys-tems of government, but in a few years the people have usually got tired of them. They- either return-ed to the rule of kings and emper-ors, or submitted to dictators.

In many countries which a re supposed to be republican In form, the army Is the real ruler. If the men behind the guns want a change of government, wha t the people say- at elections does not count.

Perhaps the principal reason why- our constitution has proved a successful form of government, is that It gives the people freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. When the people have the power to talk about their grievances, and state them to the public and discuss how they- can be remedied, there is a great safeguard against revol-ution. ,

The f ramers of our constitution had fai th In the American sense of fa i r play. They believed that our folks would not want to see any group of people unjustly treated. Also tha t if people have real grievances, they can get these troubles adjusted. If they are al-lowed to talk freely about them, and discuss them in the newspap-ers and elsewhere. In that way remedies are offered for the peo-ple's troubles, so revolutionary-movements founded on the exis-tence of Injustice have no chance to gain power.

Our constitution will last so long as the people have the rights of f ree speech and the free press. When those rights go. the consti-tution and all our Ideas about life and government will also go.

Officials to Frame New Drivers* Rules

While the 1937 legislature In-vested the Michigan State Police authorities with the responsibility of framing new mental and phy-sical examinations for applicants for operators' licenses, the whole framework of examining and li-censing will be worked out by re-presentative enforcement officials of the state, plans indicate.

Early in September, Oscar G. Olander. Commissioner of the Michigan State Police, and other state police officials, will meet with Department of State execu-tives headed by Leon D. Case.

Many Citizens See Danger In Centralizing Provisions

"Stan." a fea ture length motion picture which patterns "Lloyds of Ixmdon" and other popular films in dramatizing the story of a com-mercial Institution, has been pro-duced In Hollywood for the Stan-dard Oil Company of Indiana.

Considerable Interest Is develop-ing throughout the s ta te over the provisions of the State Welfare Act passed by the last legislature, and as a consequence, petitions are now being circulated asking that the Act be submitted to a referen-dum of the voters of the state. A law passed in 1909 gives citizens the right to take this procedure whenever considerable opposition develops towards some particular act.

Opposition to the welfare act in question appears to be due prin-cipally to the fact that it provides for the building up of a strong centralized control of welfare and this is looked upon by many as a venture that will take unnecessary-millions of dollars f rom the tax-payers of Michigan. Therefore, the people want a chance to vote on the a c t

Tax Payments Reach 15 MilKons

Reviewing the results of the "pay your taxes" campaign just completed by county and s ta ts officials. Auditor General George T. Gundry estimated today that payment of delinquent taxes In the state during the last few days of August amounted to more than $15,000,000.00. As a result of pay-ment either In full or on the mora-torium payment plan approximat-ely 500,000 parcels will be removed f rom the tax sale l i s t Mr. Gundry said.

Crediting the recent advertising campaign authorized by the ad-ministrative board with much of the success In collections, the Au-ditor General stated that payments this year were nearly- 50^ greater than those of the corresponding period last year.

Due to the avalanche of descrip-tions paid to county t reasurers they will be unable to make their returns to the state In t ime to pre-vent posting on the tax sale rolls. Gundry said. He pointed out. how-ever. that even though the original estimate of 1.500.000 descriptions are advertised for sale those that have been paid will be withheld from sale by the county treasurers.

The Auditor General Indicated that fully- two-thirds of the tax-payers availed themselves of the moratorium plan for the amorti-zation of their delinquencies.

Broadcasting stations are able to tell pretty accurately- what per cent of the nation's radio sets are tuned in at any given period by the drain on the power at the stations. They are able to say- that half the population of the United States lis-tens in on prize-fights, f a r more than listen to any other form of broadcasting. Even the President's fireside chats trail the prize-fights. The reason? O. our people love a contest of any- sort, and a prize-fight seems to pack the largest quota of thrills.

This agreement, handled by the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis-tration. will regulate all handlers of potatoes, both carload and truckers. It will prevent the interstate ship-ment of any culls, enforce strict grading rules, and. under certain circumstances, the federal govern-ment will buy the lower grades for diversion to commercial uses.

With a crop of 402.000.000 bus-hels in sight, low prices of potatoes are certain for 1937 unless some means are taken to keep culls and other lower grades off the market .

The welfare law has given to the state board the right to govern every detail of county welfare by "rule and regulation" Irrespective of what any paid welfare lobbyist might say about It.

It is noted in his communica-tion that emphasis is placed upon the fact that Michigan is "going to receive approximately $13,000-000 in each of the next two years to finance part of the cost of this type of relief, it must conform to the federal requirements In this respect."

That is more pure bunk. Thfs lobbyist and every-one else

knows that Michigan is NOT going to receive one penny from the fed-eral government for W E L F A R E work. We didn't get any federal money this year and we received only- something like $800,000 or $900,000 in 1936. He knows and everyone else knows that the fed-eral government Isn't dishing out

from this par t of the Act.

Children In Court By Judge Malcolm Hatf ie ld

Five boys stood in court yes ter-day afternoon and confessed tha t they had stolen several hundred dollars worth of brass f rom the city and various manufac tu r ing plants. Two electric t ra f f ic signal lights valued at eighty dollars were destroyed so that a few pounds of brass could be securea.

During the course of the tr ial It was learned that the brass had been sold to several junk dealers. When the boys were confronted by the junk dealers they readily ad-mitted that they would not have stolen the t ra f f ic lights if It had not been possible to dispose of the brass they contained.

The parents of the boys, together with the city officials and repre-sentatives of the manufac tu r ing f i rms immediately joined forces In asking the prosecuting a t torney to bring suit against the junk dealers.

I have often wondered how rur -al communities select the dr ivers of school buses. I s this done in a sort of indifferent way and is the job given to anybody?

Every school bus driver should be selected for dependability, good habits, his knowledge of the rules of the road, and a tested ability to drive a bus properly. No dr iver under the age of 21 should be hired to drive a school bus.

Every driver should be provided with a set of rules which he mus t observe to the letter. His is a heavy responsibility, and the con-tinuance of his employment should depend on his hear ty and fa i th fu l acceptance of this responsibility.

No bus driver should drive a school bus for more than 10 hours In any 24 hour period.

LITTLE CRIME IS BOTHERING PAPUA

Britain has her own methods of dealing with natives in the small outposts of the empire, and they are not only at times novel but highly economical and effective. For instance, take the case of Pa-pua, in New Guinea. Sir Hubert Murray, who has be**, lieutenant governor of that territory for a quarter of a century, recently ar-rived in England on furlough, and has been telling something about the place and his system of ad-ministration, notes a correspondent in the Montreal Star.

Crime among the white people Is nonexistent, he says, and rare among the natives. He has abol-ished crown prosecutors, counsel for the defense and Juries. He carries out all their duties him-self.

'The natives do not resent pun-ishment." Sir Hubert declares. "When I am on inspection patrols they run up to me in a friendly fashion and say: ^on ' t you re-member me? You gave me five years in Moresby gao l ' "

It may not meet with the approv-al of idealists, but Sir Hubert is dealing with a people who do not un-derstand idealism, and, moreover, he is doing his Job in a way that has met with the whole-hearted ap-proval of the British government for a long time past Which is. after all. what counts.

If London Is the larges t city in the world then P a r i s is the most beaut i fu l .

In regards to s i tuat ion, Pa r i s is the capital of France , chief city of the Se4ne-department located on the bank of the Seine River , which f rom east to west describes a g rea t curve through the city. I t f o rms two islands inside the town:

He Saint Louis" and "He de la Cite."

The town itself covers an a rea of about 20 square miles. It Is 8 miles long f rom west to east and 6 miles broad from nor th to south. In the 1936 census Pa r i s had 3,260,000 inhabi tants . The whole town is divided Into 20 districts, every- district Is aga in divided In-to 4 quar te rs . E a c h distr ict Is ad-minis tered by a mayor .

Pa r i s , the political capital of France , contains the m o s t Impor-tan t F rench universi ty. I t Is not only the Intellectual and ar t i s t ic center of the country, but is also the point of concent ra t ion of all F r e n c h finance, commerce and In-dus t ry .

Notre D a m e

N o t r e Dame Is one of the f ines t monument s of Gothic archi tec ture in F rance . Commenced in the 12th cen tu ry (1163) and completed In the ear ly part of t he 14th century.

The facade Is divided Into th ree dist inctive stories: On the ground floor a re three deeply recessed door arches adorned with Gothic f igures , these a re surmounted by a gallery with columns decorated wi th 28 s ta tues of Jewish kings. On the balust rade of the second s tory the f igures of Adam and E v e a r e to the lef t and r i g h t In the center , our Lady with the Holy Child and two angels, these f ive f igures date f r o m the year 1854. The third division comprises a gal-lery formed of s lender columns over 26 feet high, and two squa re towers over 227 fee t high.

In the Interior the nave Is dis-t inguished by hav ing double side aisles, a short t r ansep t and round apse. The beaut i fu l rose window of the north t r a n s e p t Is very old, da ted 1270. In the Chapel-ambula-tory behind the h igh a l t a r is t he tomb of the a r c h bishop Simon Mat i f f a s de Bucl.

T h e chapel of Sa in t Chapelle w a s buil t In 1246-48 by P i e r r e de Mon-t e r e a u as the royal palace-chapel for the purpose of deposit ing the relics Louis DC b rough t back f r o m the crusades. I t is a perfec t ex-ample of late Gothic.

1795 the Directory- held Its meet-ings here; In 1799 It became the residence of the f i r s t consul. Na-poleon I I I assigned the palace to the Senate which still occupies it.

Behind the Pa lace are the gar-dens of Luxembourg, Renaissance garden with s tatues, foun ta ins and terraces . Around the large pond s tand 29 s ta tues of f amous French women.

Within walking dis tance f rom the Luxembourg Gardens is the Hotel des Invalldes, built under Louis XIV In 1671-76. to accom-modate 5.000 invalids. Today only about th i r ty live in it. The facade, which is 689 feet long and almost unadorned, is a mas te rp iece of classical a rch i tec ture . Above the portal is an eques t r ian s t a tue of King Louis XIV.

The dome des Invalldes was add-ed onto the building in 1679-1706. The plan is designed in the shape of a Greek cross. The dome itself Is richly decorated and gilded.

The sepulchre encloses the tomb of Napoleon I. The sa rcophagus re-moved f rom S t Helena In 1840 is cut out of F innish reddish por-phyry. Upon the marble walls. 54 captured flags a re placed together In six groups. Behind the high al-t a r which is constructed of r a re kinds of marble, s teps descend to the en t rance of the crypt contain-ing the mausoleums of the mar-1 shals closely- connected wi th the Emperor . On the lef t of t he tomb of Napoleon is t he chapel to Je r -ome Bonapar te , King of Westphal-ia on the right of the Napoleon tomb is the chapel to Joseph Bona-parte , king of Spain.

The very pompous old gentleman in the railway carriage had been boring his fellow travelers for an hour or two with tales of his success and his superiority to everyone else.

When the ticket inspector came into the carriage, the old gentleman never stopped talking—he merely looked annoyed and handed a ticket to the collector.

The collector looked at it, amd then remarked:

"Where are you going, sir?" "Good heavens, man, can't yoa

WHY: Stains May Not Be Detected

in Some Fabrics. Many stains are mixtures of sev-

era l things, such as the c r cam. milk and sugar in ice cream. A fa t sol-velt will dissolve the fa t in the c ream, but not the sugar. This you can take out with lukewarm water , using it in the same way you do the solvent Use the water spar-ingly; and repea t the t rea tment if necessary. If you are not certain how water affects the fabric , t ry it out first under the hem, or on some other hidden par t . When the fabric dries, use the solvent to remove the f a t in the s ta in; the solvent will not do its work if the fabric is damp.

Stains result ing f rom coffee, tea. cocoa, carbonated drinks, and frui t juices should be taken out at once, if possible. Place the stained part over a deep bowl and pour boiling water through the stain. If there was c ream in the tea or coffee, use a fa t solvent on the stain—after the fabr ic has become dry.

Many of these stains contain tan-nin or other coloring ma te r i a l which sets with aging and with hea t or soap. This is the reason why some stains m a y not be detected until the fabr ic is washed or pressed. Dry cleaners say that the tannin type of stain is one of their mos t diffl cult problems. Customers may not have known that the ga rment was stained at all. Yet there is that brown stain which shows up af ter pressing.—Elizabeth C. Ramsay in Good Housekeeping.

Why Condition of NaiU Indicates One's Health

The general health h a s much to do with the well being of the finger nails. The deep rose tint is proof that circulation is n o r m a l Brittle nails suggest a diet deficiency, prob-ably lack of calcium which can be supplied by three glasses of rich milk each day. When the flesh is chilled, nails turn blue. Swimmers should r e m e m b e r that when the finger sheaths are that color, i t is t ime to come out of the water , warns a wri ter in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The finger nail consists of the f ree edge or eave, the body of the nail, the lunular or hal l moon and the root that extends under t h e flesh. At the base of the nail lies the matr ix , which must be protected f rom injury. It is the fac tory where new nail mater ia l is made .

Tiny overlapping scales push forth, forming a substance t h a t should be sat in smooth. Applications of olive or mineral oil will keep it conditioned.

The outer surface of the nail is convex and the inner surface con-cave, so the little sheath fits the finger perfectly. The nail itself is nevertheless tissue, but the mat r ix has a ful l equipment of nerves, lymph and blood vessels.

Why Auto Muffler Balks Dyke's Automobile Encyclopedia

states that if the muffler is not designed properly, or if it becomes clogged with soot then the burned gases cannot be expelled as rapidly as they should be and the result is back-pressure, or a tendency for the gases to work back against the out-coming e x h a u s t and also a retention of h e a t causing overheating of en-gine and a slight loss of power.This authori ty adds that the cut-out is now seldom used, except on speed cars or fo r hill climbing, because of the noise and also because of the fact tha t mufflers are now designed •o that the re is only a slight back-pressure. The cut-out was used ex-tensively during the ear ly days be-cause engines were minus power and mufflers were not properly de-signed.

Why Rye Bread Color Differs There a re five grades of rye fiour

—white, light, medium, dark and extra dark . These va ry according to the amount of outside coating removed. In making r y e bread, f r o m 5 to 50 pe r cent of rye fiour is used and wheat flour is added to i t The color of the bread depends on the type of rye fiour avai lable where it is made . Some bakers prefer one type and some another.

Why Yon Bhould Tag Packages If you a re inclined to leave pack

ages, pocketbooks and umbrel las around promiscuously, why not see that they are always tagged with your n a m e and address so that if they a re lost you stand some chance of their being returned? If you a re shopping, write your n a m e and a d dress on your package as soon as purchased.

Free Chest Clinic At Ada, Sept. IS

Ada will be favored with a f ree clinic for examinat ion of the chest on Wednesday, Sept. 15. It will be conducted by the staff of the Grand Rapids Anti-tuberculosis Society in the Reformed Church f rom 1:00 to 4:30 p. m. This clinic will be made possible th rough co-operaticn of the church authori t ies and the sale of Chr i s tmas Seals.

The tuberculosis society ha? planned a series of clinics for 15 village centers In Kent county, which will be conducted through-out the fall and early winter . Pre-vention of tuberculosis is the aim of this organization and this is ac-complished through f inding cases ear ly and placing them under proper t r e a t m e n t ; examining those who have lived in contact wi th the disease and seeking infection in chi ldren by skin testing. All suspici-ous cases and positive reactors a re provided wi th x rays because the eye of the xray can f ind a lesion before it can be discovered with a stethescope.

"Within the memory of most of us tuberculosis used to be consider-ed a disgrace," stated Blanche H. deKoning, executive secre tary of the tuberculosis society. " I t should still be so regarded, only the dis-grace m u s t be shif ted f r o m the victim to t h e communi ty which al-lows it to exist."

Turkey has banned the use of the whip on cab and car t horses. In the United S ta tes a t least t h e ma jo r i ty of the whip fac tor ies have had to go out of business.

W a r p repara t ions are w a r r i n g aga ins t fore ign balanced budgets .

E i g h t reasons fo r cleanliness in a dairy b a r n w h e r e much of the s ta te ' s agr icu l tura l income origi-na tes are cited by A. C. Baltzer, ex-tension d a i r y m a n a t Michigan S ta te College.

Such pro jec ts a s c leanup cam-pa igns have no place in dai rying he finds, because proper milk pro-duction requi res sani tat ion twelve months of the year . Any one of the e ight reasons can be used as suf-f icient incentive to main ta in a clean dairy ba rn .

Firs t , and pointed r ight at t he pocketbook, is t he reasoning t h a t sani ta t ion m e a n s more cer ta in ty of a high qual i ty p r o d u c t This high

qual i ty product in tu rn is more cer ta in of sale. Clean barns a re more pleasant fo r employees.

The re is less chance of disease in the herd. The re is grea te r chance tha t f a r m boys and girls will be inspired and satisf ied wi th f a r m life.

F ly h a z a r d s a re reduced with clean barns . The cost is small but the r e t u r n s a re large for sani tat ion. Dairymen, Bal tzer declares, should r emember t h a t purchase of ex-pensive or f ancy equipment is no gua ran tee of cleanliness. Comfor t -able stalls, deep bedding, electric fan f o r vent i la t ion and bowls fo r wa te r ing a r e more impor tant in ma in ta in ing hea l thy herds.

They were very much in love, but there came a day when they had a bit ter quarrel and parted, each re-solving never to see the other again.

Years passed, and they had al-most forgotten the little love affair, when they met at a dance .

She looked at him indifferently. "Let me see ," she said calmly,

Women's Hats 50 Years Ago Women's hats fifty years ago

were, in general, small, and hair-dressing comparatively simple, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune. A kind of compromise was evolved between the hat and the bonnet with strings. Plumes, artificial fiowers, and a blend of the two became fash ionable, and complete stuffed birds were sometimes used for trimming. The h^t tended to rise more and more off the head as the decade progressed, and in 1890 the front brim, which was much larger than the rest of the hat, rose steeply above the forehead. Men's straw and felt hats were adopted by wom-en with inclination toward sports.

It was not however, until last week, when old man Means died at the age of eighty-one, that I heard the full story of his life. Len Dyer, who had spent thirty years in old Dana's employ, gave me the tale.

"Oh, yes, he was rich all r i g h t " Len said in reply to my question. "Reckon Dana musta been worth a million dollars or so."

"Who will inherit the fortune? I asked. "Do his kinsfolk live here In Silver Creek?"

Len wagged his head and re-garded me curiously. "Old Dana had no kinsfolk, or leastwise none that people knew about. I reckon the money'll go to the town, eventu-ally." He paused to cackle mirth-lessly. "The old boy would tum over in his grave if he knew. I t ' s funny how things tum out, ain't i t ?"

"WcU," I said, " i t all depends on how you define the word 'funny.' Personally I can see little that 's funny about a lonely old man dying and having no relatives to moum his passing. Why, I've heard there was scarcely a handful of people at the funeral service."

"Less'n that ," said Len. "The reason for it was this: " . . .And so. at last, I heard the story of old Dana Means.

"Dana was bom and brung up in Silver Creek," Len went on. "His ma died at childbirth, and his pa was killed two years later, hit by a railroad train down at the cross-ing. Dana was adopted by Chris Andrews and his wife. The An-drews, were farmers, and when Dana grew up Chrii put him to work in the fields. They came from old Yankee stock, these Andrews, and they abided by the doctrine that hard work and regular church attendance was all a man needed to become a noble and respected citizen.

"Dana was allowed to attend school only three years, then he was taken out and made to work on the farm. Re had enough learn-in', Chris figured, to make a good fa rmer out of him.

"Dana stayed with the Andrews ten years after he was taken out of school Then he ran away. You see, even at that age the kid had become bitter. He'd never been al lowed to attend any of the social functions in the village or to play with other kids. The youngsters who were better off than he. those who had mothers and fathers and who attended school and wore decent clothes and attended parties and didn't have to work all the time— those youngsters looked down on him. Tliey Jeered a t him and made fun of him.

"So Dana ran away, and no one saw hide nor hair of him for nearly thirty-five years. When he c a m e back, he arrived in a limousine, with a chauffeur and a footman. Oh, he made a great showing, he did. Folks who were gathered around Lindsay's general store that day fairly gaped in amazement and when they leamed who the wealthy and dignified stranger was they re-membered when he was a kid liv-ing on Chris Andrews' farm, and they came up to him and tried to shake his hand and welcome him back, sort of.

"But Dana sneeringly refused to shake hands. He remained aloof and contemptuous and greatly superior. You see. he hadn't forgotten. That day he'd run away he'd had Just one purpose in mind—to make him-self rich. He'd got the idea that the only way a chap could win the re-spect and admiration of his fellows was to become wealthy. And that 's what the kid had resolved to do— to make himself rich, and then re-turn to his home town and lord it over the people who had sneered a t and ridiculed him because he was an orphan.

"Dana's return to Silver Creek certainly caused a lot of excitement and when he purchased the old Chris Andrews place (both Chris and his wife had since died) they were for the most part pleased to think that at last the town was to have a wealthy and distinguished citizen. Their pleasure, however, was short-lived, for Dana soon made i t clear that the thought farthest from his mind was to become a pub-lie benefactor. There was nothing in his heart but the desire for ven-geance.

"The week after Dana's advent to Silver Creek, workmen arrived and began building the high wall. It took six months to complete i t and while it was in the process of construction other workmen were busy remodelling the old f a rm house. A regular castle Dana built for himseU, with gardens and pools, great sweeping lawns and veritable forests of ra re shrubs, a place un equalled in b e a u t y anywhere

around. But no one benefited by M but Old Dana himself, for the high wall shut it off from the rest of the world and few. indeed, were ever permitted to enter the grounds.

"The high wall shut Dana off f rom the world, too. for he lived there in solitude, a hard and bitter and revengeful old man. At first folks couldn't understand him. They thought when he loaned money and bought up mortgages and took leas-es on property, that he was being generous. It wasn't until he fore-closed those s a m e mortgages, pressed his loans, forced peo-ple from their homes that they re-alized what he was up to. Yes. sir, that was Dana's method of hum-bling the kids, now full grown, who had Jeered at him. Before long he owned more land than anybody this side of the state line, and he owned mortgages on half the prop-erty in town.

"Then folks woke up and Dana came to realize he'd figured wrong. At first when they let him alone, when they failed to come begging and pleading for mercy he couldn't understand i t

"He merely smiled to himself and sat back to wai t But his waiting went into years. Gradually he fore-closed all his mortgages and found no one would sell him more. He found that the town was getting on serenely without him, despite hard times. He found that folks had for-gotten he existed, that behind the high wall he was as much apart from them as he had been after he'd run away.

"And so he became more bitter and hateful, and more hated too. He wanted Silver Creek to depend on him. He tried various methods to bring about such a state of af-fairs. He refused to pay assess-ments, balked on taxes, tried to defeat every movement that was Inaugurated for public welfare. He hired secret agents, bought more land, refused to sell it when the town needed it for public buildings. And still the citizens paid him only a minimum of heed.

"Dana's hatred for them In-creased because he came to re-alize that no man can remain aloof from his fellows, because he found himself helplessly unable to achieve his purpose, to impress the people he hated. Instead of making the community depend on him he had come to depend on I t

"The old man's determination to live independent of society, yet to make society dependent on him. continued to the very end. He died last week, and only a handful of people attended the burial services. And now that he's gone the people of Silver Creek have at last become aware of his presence. Why? WeU, because they want his money and his lands. And they'll get 'em. too. All sorts of schemes are afoot "ults tor back taxes and claims for un-paid bills and assessments. Oh. it'll be a tough fight in the courts, but the folks of SUver Creek will win. They're bound to. And the com-munity will benefit by old Dana's wealth, whether he wants it to or n o t "

Len ended bis tale and looked across to the high wall, above which the cupola of the great white house was barely visible. There was a strange expression in his eyes, and I left him. I went away, feeling somehow dispirited and depressed. The story of Old Dana hadn't been a pleasant thing to hear.

Some time later, back home, I was looking through a copy of a metropolitan paper which carried news of distant rural communities, and I came across an item which aroused my interest The item con-cerned the reading of the will of the late Dana Means of Silver Creek. The testament provided that all the old man's property, personal and real, was to go to the town of Silver Creek to be used as the town government saw fit.

Light From the Sky Is Reflected Upon the Sea

Old riddles of the sea—why i t is so blue, why ships and cliffs near the horizon sometimes have no re-flection in the water and why big black clouds on the r im of vision do not darken the sea until they are high In the sky—ara explained by Dr. E. O. Hulburt, physicist of the Naval Research laboratory, Wash-ington. Dr. Hulburt was not Just trying to solve riddles. As a prac-tical result of his experimental ob-servations there has been developed an optical Alter which improves ma-rine vision with binoculars and sex-tants.

He studied the optical properties of normal seas with moderate waves at a distance of several hun-dred yards f rom the observer to the horizon. The area is most impor-tant to the mariner .

Light from the sky reflected off the waves, he found, is strongly po-larized and the light from the rim of a breezy sea is mainly sky light reflected from a region about 25 to 35 degrees above the horizon. The reflecting facets of the waves are thus only at an angle of about 19 degrees f rom the horizontaL

For this reason a ship coming over the horizon may be seen di-rectly without having any reflection in the water. Similarly black clouds do not start to t u n the sea black as soon as they come wer the hori-zon but only do so whei they reach an altitude of about 25 degrees.

Using special polarizing Alters on marine binoculars and sextants. Dr. Hulburt was able to cut out much of the polarized glare from the tea 's surface and render the horizon more distinct with resulting increased ac-curacy of navigating sights.

Thinking Revised Black—I don't think they ought to

engage that fellow to teach school Why. I am told he's a free-thnker.

SONIA paused on the wind-swept ledge nnd for the first time since

leaving the base three hours a jo . looked back and down. The sheer descent of the abyss produced a sensation of dizziness. She clutchod at the rough edge of the wall at her back, shrank against it.

The feeling passed. Gradually she relaxed and once more let her eyes sweep over the far-flung reaches. It :

seemed Incredible that she could i have climbed the face of lhe cliff which fell away beneath her. Reali-zation that the worst and most dari-, gerous part of the aiccni was sMI to be conquered, seemed still more incredible.

Yet she was glad she had ccme. This was the realization of a dream, ' the fulfillment cf a great ambition. \ All her life she had longed to visit Switzerland, to climb the Alps, to stand triumphant on the summit of Mount Blanc, knowing the full sense of appreciation that comes to those who toil and laboi» over the tortm us trails. For her. no other place ever existed, no spot cn earth was so beautiful and gorgeous and worth living in.

And now. after years of saving and scrimping and dieaming. she was here. The summit of Mount Blanc loomed above.

There were three in Sonia's party besides the guide. There were Marie LaTreen, the Frcnch girl, and Helen Thropewood, the Britisher, all of them amateurs, all possessed with the same fierce desire to achieve a lifelong ambition.

Carl Andersen, the guide, had told them today Monty Rice-Rae. the Englishman, most famous of all climbers, holder of numberless rec-ords. to whom was accredited the most dangerous of all ascents, was to attempt reaching Mount Blanc summit by the never-yet-conquered Big Horn t ra i l The famed man's announcement of his intentions had created rather a sensation. If he were successful he would reach the summit about the same time as they.

Sonla was thrilled at the possi-bDJty. Yesterday, at the inn. she had watched Rice-Rae from across the lobby. He was young and at-tractive, and twice she had caught him looking at her. Perhaps, she thought, all the sacrifice she had undergone to make this trip possible was going to Justify the end more than she had hoped.

Finally it was over. Anderson pulled one after another of the three girls over a jutting ledge of rock. Sonia, the last in line, fell face downward upon the bare, hard ledge and closed her eyes in sheer ex-haustion. When a t last she looked about. It was to find that the summit had been reached. She had won! The great ambition of a life-time was fulfilled.

She stood up and with the others fought against the wind and pres-sently reached the comparative still-ness in the lee of a monumental looking pile of stones. They sat congratulating one another mi their achievement, speculating on the possibility of Monty Rice-Rae con-quering the Big Horn.

An hour later they heard a shout and presently a man hove into view. It was Rice-Rae. and at sight of him, his casual greeting and indif-ference to the thing he had done Sonia's heart began to pound.

Below in the Inn she would have been shy. reluctant to address the great man. Here it was different Conscious of her own achievement she talked with him in perfect ease.

She was regretful when at last the time came to leave. Monty ex-pressed a desire to accompany them down the easier trail, and the five of them set out together.

It was while they were resting on the last projecting ledge that Sonia found herself alone with the famous climber. She was expounding with great enthusiasm over the success of her adventure. She told him of what it had meant to her, of her dream and ambition to visit the Alps, of how she had looked for-ward to meeting the great Monty Rice-Rae.

Her companion smiled wistfully. "It 's fine here." he sa id "There's s lot to see, beauty and inspiration, and a certain closeness to the things that are worth having. The trails are difficult, too Many of them dangerous. And yet I haven't dis-covered one that's equal to the Huntington Ridge trai l ."

Sonia looked at him in faint be-wilderment "The Huntington Ridge trail? 1 don't believe I've ever heard of i t "

He seemed surprised. "Haven't heard of it? Why, it's in the White mountains, in New Hampshire. One of the trails on M t Washington. It 's dangerous and thrilling, and equal to any I've found around here, des-pite the comparative stpallness of the mountain. I always climb it when I 'm in America. The scenery is unsurpassed."

Sonia found herself suddenly feel-ing weak. M t Washington! New Hampshire? Why, she had lived within an hour's drive of Washing-ton all her life and never consid-ered it worth looking a t

The thought was amusing, and she smiled. Monty Rice-Rae had started down the traiL Sonia fol-lowed him, still smiling, wondering now if there weren't also a man in

"WHAT DO YOU

KNOW ABOUT

FARMING?*9

HOW: CREWELL EMBROIDERY GOT NAME FROM EGYPTIAN ART.

Do you know how old the art of needlework li? It may date back to the early ages when smart gowns were fashioned of foliage, but It is really a craft that was quite well established long be-fore the Christian era. It is said that the oldest known specimens of embroidery were worked in colored wool on a closely woven ground nnd are of Egyptian craftsmanship. This is the type of needlework that Is now termed "Crewel Embroidery." crcwels being an old name for wool and worsted yams, says a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

This style of embroidery is said to have been practiced in Eng-land from very early times.

It Is considered quite probable that this type was the special-ized work of Itinerant embroid-erers because of the naivete of treatment of design. Unfettered by the tradition of any accepted school of design, these early em-broiderers would work out the coat of arms of a patron, correct in charges and tinctures and complete with crests and mant-ling, then fill in the rest of his space with drawings from the life of the countryside around him. birds, animals, flowers and trees.

This section of Michigan Is reap-ing favorable publicity because of the convention of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies which will be held In Grand Rapids October 3 to 7. W. V. Burras of Lowell, President of the State Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Michigan, has pre-pared the following article which Is appearing In Insurance publi-cations throughout the country:

Come To Grand Rapids!

"Michigan In October! While the ghosts of Indian Braves live again in the dull blue haze of the In-dian summer and the woods come alive with the riot of color that the first fall frost can paint. Over the corn fields full of pumpkins and a hint of luscious pies, comes the drifting of low blue smoke of wood fires and burning brush. Michigan In October offers the fi-nest possible setting for a meet-ing and Grand Rapids extends to you a moet cordial Invitation to attend the convention of the Na-tional Association of Mutual In-surance Companies which will be held at the Pantllnd Hotel Oct-ober 3 to 7. Here you will meet old friends again and make new ones. Here you will find the stimulation of learning what others are doing to promote Interest In the develop-ment of Mutual Insurance. A fine program has been planned for the

True Courage .

WHAT is courage? Many people like to be considered brave, but there Is a dif-

ference between mere physical braver)- and t rue courage. Alex-p.nder Pope, the renowned EnglUn poet, gives his concept of a brave man in these words: "A brave man thinks no one his superior who docs him an injury; for he has it then In his power to make himself superior to the other by forgiving it ." Oftentimes it takes courage to forgive an Injury, but If the sense of forgiveness should be overshadowed by a belief 'n one's own superiority, the act tf forgiving could in no wise be termed courageous. It certainly would fall far short of the stan'l-ard set by Christ Josus, who said (Matthew 5:44) , "Love your ene-mies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which deapite-fully use you, and persecute you." This admonition calls for true courage, for It requires humility and selflessness to meet !to re-quirements.

Christ Jesus was the most cour-ageous man that ever walked the earth because he was the meekc-st and most selfless. Never did he hesitate to say or do what he knew to be right, and always his speech and actions were prompted by un-selfed love. He rebuked alnners unhesitatingly, and he sacrificed his human sense of life to show them the way of salvation. Hla ministry of healing and teaching stands for all time as the acme of selfless devotion to sin-burdened and suffering humanity. He was absolutely convinced of the truth of all that he said and taught, and neither threats nor efforts to de-stroy him could swerve him from his convictions or make him fear-ful. He urged his followers to do as he did. and thereby earned the hatred of selflsh materialists. He knew, however, that Immeasurable blessings would fllow to all who should courageously and under-standlngly obey his admonitions.

In the world today there are many millions of professed Chrlc-tians, but alas, too much diversity

of opinion concerning the teach-ings and works of the master Christian. Why should thlf be so when Jesus so clearly mapped out the course to be taken by his t rue followers? They were to do the works that he did—works of heal-ing as well as regenerating; they were to practice self-denial; they were to promote love and peace throughout the world; and they were In all circumstances to put their trust , not In material things, but In God. And, said he (Mat-thew 7 :20) , "By their f r u i t s " - -their accomplishments along such lines—"ye shall know them." . . .

Courage of the right sort Is sorely needed In the world today, the moral courage to subdue self, to be humble, pure-minded, free from resentment, ready to return good for evil. Such courage is a rebuke to animal courage, of which there is a superfluity. Concerning this, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Mary Baker Eddy, states in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (pp. 28, 29 ) : "There is too much animal courage in society and not sufficient moral courage. Chris-tians must take up anna against error at home and abroad. Thoy must grapple with sin in them-selves and In others, and continue this warfare until they have fin-ished their course. If they keep the fai th, they will have the crown of rejoicing."

This much-to-be-deslred crown should not be considered as some-thing to be hoped for In some fu-ture existence, but as a Joyous sense of harmony and spiritual do-minion to be striven for and at-tained here and now. It requires real courage to win and wear this crown, courage to stand firmly on the side of Principle against selfish desires, and oftentimes agalnft the scoffs of sinners. , . .

There is nothing more ennob-ling than courageously forsaking material beliefs for spiritual un-derstanding, for this transition re-quires humility and unselfed love. Also, It affords deep satisfaction to know that whatever Is accom-plished through courage born ot unselfed love, bleases not only the Individuals directly concerned, but, in some degree, all mankind as well. — The Christian Science Monitor.

"Grand Rapids Itself is set In a lovely valley and has a history to fascinate the curious. For Into this valley came those who were later the lumber barons of Michigan. Here they set up their offices and directed the lumbering that help-ed to build the West. Here were established a hundred years ago the finest of furni ture factories which still carry on their tradi-tion of fine workmanship. Here the large furniture markets are held four times a year, drawing furni-ture buyers from all over the world. Grand Rapids Is a beautiful city with wide boulevards, tree-lined residential districts and a large protpofrtlon o f beautiful churches and schools. Here Is one of the finest convention auditor-iums tn the world with Its spac-lous halls and seating capacity of 7.000. Plan to take an autumn va-cation and attend this splendid meeting and later take the beau-tiful color tour along Lake Mich-igan shores where the blue of the lake makes a beautiful border to the Persian tapestry of the color-ful frost tinted maples and the dark green of the pines.
