The teaching force of the publicschool will remain practically thesame as for the past year with afew exceptions according to the re-port just Issued by Superintendentof School Gordon C. Swift. Miss M.Louise Johnson will have charge ofmusic and Mrs. Sarah Deeley ofhome economics classes of bothBaldwin and South schools. In • ad-dition to his duties as a teachher Al-fred R. Delanfl willl have full chargeof all the athletic activities of theschool.

Due to crowded condition In theBaldwin school building, the portableschool will continue to be used untilthe new high school is completed,when It will be dismantled and eith-er stored until necessity again de-mands its use or sold outright. Tin-facts that several of the high schoolpupils successfully passed their col-lege entrance examinations, andothers were accepted upon certifi-cate, reflects great credit upon thoefforts of Principal William R. Cookand the faculty.

THE LAD FROM MAIN 8TREET

There is one still unexplolted as-pect of the Lindberghs. About 1860the aviator's grandfather emigratedfrom Sweden and settled at Millvllle,about ten miles from Sauk Center,Minnesota. The Swedish immigranthad a. son, Charles August Lind-bergh, who established himself in thepractice of law at Little Falls, Min-nesota, about thirty miles from SaukCenter. His son, as all the worldnow knows, is another Charles Lind-bergh, knight-errant of the air.

Lindbergh, though born In Detroit,was in fact a boy of Little Falls, Min-nesota, close to Sinclair Lewis's na-tive Sauk Center and the home ofhis own immigrant grandfather. Thesmall-town atmosphere in which hegrew up must have been identicalwith that of Sinclair Lewis's experi-ence. From "Main Street" we aresupposed to derive an accurate im-pression of life in the smaller Mid-dle Western communities.: Now thescene Is suddenly Illuminated by theappearance of "Lucky" Lindbergh—a product of precisely the same in-fluence that made the small-towncharacters introduced to Americaand Europe by Mr. Lewis, who isloudly acclaimed*in consequence asa master dlslllustonist.

Here is a grave discrepancy—crea-tures of the pen on the one hand, aliving person on the other. In thebooks these creatures seem, withfew exceptions, the meanest, petti-est, most sordid of mankind. In theflesh, young Lindbergh .has appearedto embody all the qualities of decen-cy, modesty and heroism which intimes not too remote have been re-garded as characteristic of the bestAmerican youth. Out of Main StreetItself emerges young Lindbergh.—Exchange.

A BO08T FOR MR. SMITH

During the heated controversy ov-er the next Democratic Presidentialnomination this newspaper has beenand will continue to be an unbiasedbystander. Its duty is to record with-out prejudice the progress of thestruggle and to note gains or lossesas they occur. It, therefore, publish-es the fact that the Hoi*.

WHY TEACHER8 ARE 8CARCE

A disciple of Freud would prob-ably stamp as an inferiority complexthe domineering attitude of peoplein small towns and country districtstoward their public-school teachers.No other profession is subjected tosuch minute supervision outside' ofbusiness hours.

Some of the amazing features ofcommunity control of the teacher'slife are mentioned in an article byThomas Minehan In The Nation ofJune 1. When "The Teacher GoesJob-Hunting" she must practicallysign away her freedom.

A North Carolina: village sets arecord. Its contract contains prom-ises " t o take a vital interest in allphases of Sunday-school work. . . .to abstain from all dancing, immod-est dressing, and any other conductunbecoming a teacher and a lady. . .Not to go out with any young men,"except In connection wltb Sunday-school work. .

As if this were not enough, a fur-ther clause reads: "I promise notto fall in love, to become engagedor secretly married." The secondand third parts of this engagement astrong-minded teacher might fulfill,but the first might conceivably bebeyond the-jioor wretch's control.Were she, after vain struggle, act-ually to> fall in love, she would bebreaking a clause. of her contract,conduct certainly unbecoming- ateacher, and a lady. Such a lapsewould call for stopping payment ofsalary after the'fatal date, of tellingIn love.—New York' Times.

competent manager of an athleticteam, and named to Phi Beta Kappaby abundant scholastic leeway, hehas from the first of his career dis-tinguished himself among merelyrich men as one who was somethingmore.

And yet there are criticisms whichcan be made of the Providencespeech. Charging, truthfully, thatmore and more the American collegelures the social butterfly, the frankloafer and the lad interested merelyIn Intensifying his economic efficien-cy, Mr. Rockefeller proceeded toerect a new doctrine of endowmentupon the assumption that these typeswere to continue numerous and char-acteristic. Yet there is not a uni-versity in the country which is notsworn to stringent warfare againstthese fellows. The loafer and thebutterfly are relatively easy game;all the mental yard-sticks at handare utilized to measure them unfit,the increasingly difficult entrance ex-amination, and now, newest device,the psychological test which scien-tists are struggling to perfect. Theother lad, bent on material Increase,forgetful of poetry and the mellowculture in a blind scramble after eco-nomics and the banking courses—heis more difficult to dissuade, for hisefficiency encompasses .the culturesubjects, not with appreciation, butmerely as necessary evils which aperverse system forces upoti himalotg with cours°a <mme-*l<itely flscal. And yet, unable to turn him.away, the colleges protest .loudly thathe is mistaken in his search.. Theyoffer no short cut to wealth and theyare frank in saying so. EspeciallyIs IJrown frank In saying so; in 1925two out of three prize commence-ment speakers stressed the lhcompetwicy of the liberal college to equipa man specifically for money-making.The liberal college has not that aimit scorns that aim; thousands ofyoung men are turned out with itsA. I), every year who learn bitterlythat the college failed to equip themwith seven-league economic boots.A million alumni, struggling alongat $1800 or $2000 or $5000 or $7500are sadly privy now to that. Sadly,that is, if they did actually entertainhopes of sudden wealth like magicfrom the college training. Thousands of others, of course, pinchinga little, wearing the suit a year long-••iv foregoing the new car anotherseason, are still richly grateful: toAlma Mater for the undeniable rich-es she did confer upon them, albeitriches of an intangible sort.

Here we speaK, remember, of theliberal college: the direct descen-dant from the older school whereLatin and Greek composed the cur-rlcular back-bone and the arts andthe sciences were studied for theirgeneral significance, not their myriadspecific applications. This is not in-tended to apply to graduate schools,schools of business administration,schools of engineering, of medicine,of law. For these do attempt toequip their student with the devicesfor professional advancement; theyare not moreover, the liberal college.

So it is that, basing his suggest-ions upon the theory that the Amer-ican student body is definitely chang-ing, Mr: Rockefeller seems to forgetthat the American college Is defin-itely aiming to stem that change.Earnest youth respectful of educa-tion In its fullest, its widest meaningpeopled the older schools; they areexactly the sub-freshmen most eager-ly sought by the colleges of today.If charity was just In the older days,then it should not at once cease to-day when the colleges are aiming tofoster the earlier type. Seeking en-dowment of men rather than walls,Mr. Rockefeller is certainly cogent.The way for the lad who wants edu-cation before all things, money in-cluded, cannot be made too smooth;this Mr. Rockefeller shows that heunderstands in his provision for gen-erous scholarships. But It' is nottrue that the colleges are resignedto the new students .upon whom heseems to predicate. They areacainst them as they have been.They have merely been tardy in say-ing so.—New Haven Journal-Courier.

What are we coming to In thisgrand old state of Connecticut? Ademocrat has been appointed to asalaried position! Senator Lawlor ofWaterbury has been appointed dep-uty athletic commissioner at a salaryof $2,500 a year.—New Haven Journ-al-Courier.

AT YALE REUNION

Hon. Gtorge M. Woodruff One ofOldest Graduates at Exercises

in New HavenUtchfield had the honor of furn-

ishing one of the two representativesof the oldest class present at theYale alumni, luncheon held in theYale dining hall here today follow-ing the awarding of degrees. Thiswas Judge George M. Woodruff, oneof the two living' members of theclass of 1857, over 90 years or age.

The other surviving member, Rev.Augustus F. Beard of Norwalk, aged95, -was also present. PresidentJameS R. Angell, introducing thetwo, said that Judge Woodruff's sondrove him down from Litchfield thatday and as he was late was drivingquite fast. The judge asked his sonhow fast they were going andlearned that it was 55 miles an hour.

"Well, step on the gas and let'sgo faster," he said.

One graduate, still older, and theonly representative of the oldestclass still in existence, John DonnellSmith of Baltimore, was not present.He is the only surviving member ofthe class of 1847. Although notpresent he sent a letter of greetingto the alumni which was read byPresident Angell. The president saidthat Mr. Smith contributed to the$20,000,000 endowment fund, pledgesto which may be made on a five yearbasis, and in making his contribu-tion, wrote that he did not knowwhether be had enough confidence tomake a contribution on this basis ashe did not wish to pledge himself todo something which he would notlive long enough to fulfill.—Water-bury Republican, June 23d.

TO PRE8ENT FORE8T

A forest of 210 acres will be pre-sented to the state of ConnecticutJuly 16 by the Connecticut depart-ment of the American Legion. Aninteresting field day program hasbeen arranged In conjunction withthe presentation of the tract on thewest side of the Farmington river amile above Pleasant Valley, near thestate road.

This gift to the (date is the firstcommunity welfare: project to be «.».sponsored by the legion and |thefunds for it have been contributedby the various legion posts through-out the state. The plan is partof a nation-wide program of the le-gion to rehabilitate forest areas and 'to increase the interest of citizenryIn forests and their uses.

It is expected that hundreds from .all parts of the state will attend thefield day at Pleasant Valley, Bark-hamsted. Camp will be establishedin the morning and parking and"camping places will be set aside.Plans will then be made for the aft-ernoon session. Games and theregular sports program will be incharge of Harry C. Jackson. Thiswill be at 2 o'clock. At 3:30 o'clockthere will be a meeting of the Hart-ford county district and at 4 o'clockthe state executive, committee willmeet. From 4:30 to 5 o'clock a pic-ture will be held. At 6 o'clock therewill be an open air meeting accord-ing to legion rtlual, with Command-er Kenneth F. Cramer presiding. Theforest will then officially be present-ed to the state.

An effort is being made by thecommittee to have as speakers GOT.John H. Trumbull, A. F. Hawes, stateforester; John F. Titcomb, fish andgame commissioner, and Elliot B.Branson of Winchester, field execu-tive of the forest and wild Bfe com-mission, who will tell of Indian Wein the wild country.

KAN8A8 AND DRUNKENDRIVERS

The judicial and executive officialsdecided to apply the rock-pile cure.In two days the sheriff and his depu-ties rounded up thirteen offenders,and the judge, in accordance withthe announced plan, imposed sent-ences of: ninety days, "making littleones out of big ones," plus a fine of$260 and costs on each peripateticimbiber.

Where once on Sundays the Olathehighway was made dangerous by In*toxicated motorists, peace reigns andaw and order prevail.

In one month lately In little RhodeIsland' fifty-three automobile operat-ors were* balled into the districtourts of the state for driving while

drunk. Fourteen of the fifty-threeare known to have been involved inaccidents In which ten persons wereinjured.—St Paul Pioneer -Press.'

Harvesting Dates In Sahara Oasia.

la-repared' by the National Oeograohtesociety. Washington, D. C")

OP THE date palms now thriv-ing and bearing fruit in thehot desert regions of Arizonaand California, some of the

most valuable plants were broughtfrom the Jerld, famous "Land of thePalms," a small group of oases situ-ated at the northern edge of the Sa-hara and distant about 250 milessouthwestward from the city of Tunis.

Thcr Jerld is reached by means of arailway which crosses southern Tunisfrom the busy little seaport of Sfax,on the east coast, to the rich phos-phate mines of Metlaoul near the Al-gerian frontier. Southward from Sfaxone passes through a desolate country,wonderfully like the high plains ofeastern Colorado and New Mexfco.

An occasional cluster of "gourbls,"or tents of skins, an occasional flockof multicolored sheep and goats,tended by half-wild Bedouin children,are the. only signs of life In the mo-notonous landscape. The vegetationconsists chiefly of brown clumps ofthe grass called "alfa" or "esparto,"the long tough leaves of.which arepulled by hand and shipped In balesto Europe for making baskets, strawhats, and paper of fine quality.

From Metlaoul, formerly the termi-nus of the railway, the line has beenextended In recent years all the wayto Tozer, first of the important oasis

. towns. This final stretch is throughblazing sands and on either side arethe sharp forms of desert mountains,devoid of soil and trees. In Tozerlives the French administrator of theJerld region. The town Is Just out-wide the oasis on higher ground. Afterleaving Its outskirts and crossing afew rods of bare sand, one plungesdirectly Into the oasis.

Jungle of Date Palms,The transition from the blinding

glare outside to the. cool shade of thegardens Is delightful. Each is a Jun-gle of date palms, planted In no ap-parent order, some so close that thestems almost touch, and in otherplaces far enough apart to leave roomfor little patches of vegetables andlttcern and tender young barley. Be-neath the tall palms are other trees—figs, apricots, and olives.

Huge grapevines hang In festoonsfrom the trunks, and long runners ofmelon and cucumber trail over theground. Here and there oranges andbig rosy pomegranates gleam In theirsetting of dark glossy foliage, and theJasmine, with Its white corollas, starsthe seml-twlllght Beds of scarlet pep-pers glow like fires In the deep shad-ows* among the trees. <"

It is interesting to watch the har-vest which begins in October. Datesgrow in large bunches, weighing from10 to 40 pounds, which hang beneaththe crown of leaves on long yellowor orange-colored stalks, hard and pol-ished as ivory. An expert workman,known as the "getaa," climbs to thetop of the palm, gripping the scalybark with his bare toes. He is armedwith a "mengel," an' iron knife, hav-ing a heavy serrated blade at rightangles to the shank, which Is set ina wooden handle.

Severing the stalk with a stroke ofbis knife, he gives the heavy dusterto the. man who straddles the trunkJust under him. It Is then passedfrom hand to hand by men and boyswho cling to the tree, one below theother, until it reaches the ground.

Only the beat varieties of dates arehandled thus carefully; for the ordl-

• nary sorts it suffices to toss the dus-< tor tb the ground* where they, are

caught m sheet* Ther are then'packed In skins or baskets to be kept

foe local consumption, or they areexchanged for wheat and barley,which the nomads of the high centralplateaus of Tunis and Algeria bringdown to the oases In the fall on thebacks of their camels.

The fine Deglet Noor dates, of whichthe Jerld export* from one to twomillion pounds every year, • are pre-pared for shipment before leaving the

gardens. No curing Is found necessary.Ha« Its Trafflo Problems.

During the harvest season the Jeridgardens have traffic problems asmarked as those in many a westerncity. On*, can make but slow progressbecause tt the crowds that throngthe brld!« paths. Here and there atnoonday, where two roads cross, arestatoned venders of "broad beans."The beam, almost as large as chest-nuts and not unlike them in flavor,are boiled in petroleum tins over char-coal fires and are sold hot to laborersand ldlem. ' ,

In the cool twilight one can ap-preciate the full beauty of the oasis.The leve} rays of the setting sunlight up the palm tops, turning thedull purpliM and maroons of the fruitclusters to glowing crimson and theirstalks to burnished gold. Against theclear beryl green of the eastern skythe feathery leaf crowns are silhou-etted. Overhead a star or two beginsto glisten In the azure-that Is fastchanging to dusky violet.

The Jerld oases are four In number.Toiser and Nefta, which comprise about6,000 acres each, are the largest. Theyare separated one from another bya few miles of sandy desert, wherestunted gray bushes are the only vege-tation during the greater part of theyear. Immediately behind the oasesrises a 'steep bluff, which here formsthe northern boundary of. the Sahara.The date gardens occupy a gentlysloping shelf about one mile wide be-tween thin and the Shott el Jerid, < agreat shallow pond, usually coveredwith a glittering crust of salt and con-taining water for only a brief timeafter the infrequent winter rains. ItIs one of a chain of such dry lakesthat stretches from near the easterncoast of Tunis to the Oued Rlr coun-try, a few miles south of Biskra, inAlgeria. . •

There ate sat« to be nearly one mil-lion date trees In the Jerid. Bachoasis-Is a denae forest, of which theownership is much divided. The Indi-vidual holdings range In size from afew square rods to several acres andare aeparted b y "tablas," walls ofdried mud surmounted by a palisadeof the thorny palm leaves.

Water 8upply AbundantNumerous springs, gushing forth at

flier base of the escarpment that shel-ters the oases from the north winds,furnish an abundant and constant sup-ply of water for Irrigation. At Neftathe springs are situated in a deepbasin, of which the sides are muchhigher than the tallest palm In thebeautiful grove that covers Its floor.This Is the "Has el Aln" (head of thespring), which the French call the•Corbellle" or basket .

At Tozer and at Nefta the waterof the springs Is gathered Into onelarge canal. It Is then diverted bymeans of dams situated at convenientpoints Into the Irrigating ditches thatpenetrate every corner of the oasts.

More than one hundred distinct va-rieties of dates are grown In thesefour small oases. There Is a bewil-dering amount of diversity In theshape, color, and flavor of the fruits.Some are round as apples, others egg-shaped, other finger-shaped. Theyrange In size .from that of a smallhazelnut to the bigness of a man'sthumb. When ripe they are of everyImaginable hue, from golden brownto prune purple, and even Jet black.

The towns of the Jerid are situatedon higher ground. Just outside of theoases. They thus escape to some ex-tent the malaria that lurks In thegardens, where frequent irrigationkeeps the will constantly moist Even'the gardeners dwell mostly In the vil-lages and trudge every morning to thescene of their labors. Only duringthe ripening season, when the fruit ofthe choice varieties must be guardedagainst thieves, men camp among thetrees In little palm-leat tents, whichare sometimes elevated'" on posts a ta comer of the wall to afford a be*tar lookout;

Sports drees Is the fantastic notehi the season's f"tf*'j***T Its rogue,•ays a fashion authority In the NewYork Times, Is apparently without rea-son, contradicting all the conventionsof dress, yet like a coquette winningher csnrtdoos way, compels accept-ance and approval. The name hascome to express not equipment tor•ports activity, nor, tor the matter ofthat activity ot any sort but Just achic costume of a certain type whichIs In universal favor at present

The sports frock, suit or ensembleIs chic, youthful, slenderizing and atribute to the genius of the design-ers who created a style which Is allof these things successfully. Onlyan unerring Judgment and a keensense of proportion could express Indress these essentials to the comfortand content of women ot varyingsizes, figures and ages. The borderbetween the suitable and unsuitable,the graceful and the grotesque Is in-stinct and It Is quite clearly andcharmingly defined In-sports clothesfor. summer. The mode has grownInto favor very gradually, but nowthat It has arrived the response Isoverwhelming.

Extravagant expressions of thesports suit Idea were shown last sea-son In the models In a mannish style,but of the most elaborate materials;handsome brocades and metalliccloths, handled as if they were home-spun, and cheviots, and made intotunic blouses with short tailoredskirts. With the gradual prevailingof feminine qualities, however, thesports costume has held Its vogue andis now presented In the finest andmost delicate fabrics, soft crepes andsilks, voiles and, at the moment chif-fon, with the Indorsement of exclu-sive houses.

One of the latest models from afamous French couturier Is of whiteand black chiffon in a large plaid pat-tern, the blouse made in such fashionas* to emphasize the white. The skirtlaid In deep box plaits, makes theblack more conspicuous, giving theeffect of irregular stripes, which isvery skillfully done, and very pretty.Another sports frock of this sort Isbuilt of geranium red chiffon; boththe bodice, which blouses over thegirdle that swathes the hips, and theskirt are finely plaited, giving a flut-tery movement This model has nar-row velvet ribbon scarfs that floatbackward from the neck; and thesleeves, which are wide, are also plait-ed and caught dose at the wrist withbands of velvet ribbon—all in oneshade of scarlet

POCITKYSAVE BEST MAT.BR

FOR NEXT SEASON

When the batching season to over.remove the male birds from the flockbut take good care of them If theyare to be used next season.

"Infertile eggs are no better as foodthan fertile eggs but the Infertile eggskeep better in hot weather," says Dr.B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry de-partment at the North Carolina Statecollege. "When a fertile egg Is sub-jected to high summer beat It willbegin to develop a young chick. Ifthis development goes on long enoughand then the egg to placed In lowertemperatures, the' germ dies and ablood ring is left This ring of bloodsettles ot the lowest point of the archof membranes which cover a part otthe yolk."

Doctor Kaupp states- that Just asrauny eggs will be laid when the malesare removed from the flock and so ItIs a good practice to take oway themules from the hens as soon as thebreeding season Is over. Those birdsnot wanted for breeding another yearmay be plnred In a lot Where they maybe fattened for the pot or for market.Those needed next year should beplaced In a house with ample runwhere they may forage for bugs andworms mid green feed. To shut up adesirable breeding bird In a small, drylot with poor hounlng facilities, Isto redure his health and vigor andmake him worthless for the nestseason.

Then, too, Doctor Kaupp advisesselecting out the best of the earlyhatched young cockerels and keeping „them for breeding purposes. Thosethat are square and blocky and crowearly are most desirable. Early de-velopment means the transmission ofhigh qualities of egg production andhealth. Such selected tnnles shouldget plenty of green feed, mash inwhich there Is unlmol feed and regu-lar grain feed. Grain alone Is notsufficient if best results are wanted.

Maternal Instinct IsStrong in Turkey Hen'

The maternal Instinct Is especiallystrong In the turkey hen. If she Isbrooding her eggs near another tur-key's nest, she will leave her own nestat the first cheep of poults. A battleroyal will ensue between the two tur-key hens, which makes the hen withthe unhatched poults dissatisfied evenwhen she Is confined to the nest Wemust reckon with nature. Put outnests for the turkey hens where theywill find them; separate them fromsight and sound of one another. Planfor her to walk In on the nest ratherthan to jump down. Put boards underthe barrels or boxes provided for tur-key nests to keep them off the groundwhen It rains. When the poults arehatched. If the hen Is not cooped,make a triangular yard of twelve-Inchboards and confine them In that tillthey enn Jump over. The hen will notleave them; they can be put on freshground every day by moving the pen.and the turkey mother'can be trustedto protect her young.

Hens Often Injured bjToenails of Male Bird

Hens are often Injured by the longtoenails of the male birds ripping openthe back. When this happens, cleanse,the wound? apply a healing ointmentand cover with a pad of antisepticgauze fastened down with adhesivetape. It Is economy to have a largespool of the adhesive tape In the med-icine closet It tears as easily as mus-lin and Is about as useful. Of coursethe feathers about a wound should al-ways be pulled. If It Is necessary tosew a wound, use surgeons'needles andwhite silk floss. The noils of the of-fending cock or turkey gobbler shouldbe manicured with a file.

A foot Injury for which the gauzepad and adhesive tape are useful Isbumble foot—caused by a bruise tothe sole of the foot from flying downon a hard surface. For this. If thereIs pus In the bruise, make two criss-cross cuts like an X. Press out thepus gently, and apply salve, a pad andthe adhesive.

Contaminated SoilThe soil where chicks are ranging

is not as easily > contaminated If Itcontains a thick mat of green cloversod when the chicks are first turnedout of the brooder houses. A densegrassy growth of that type Is noteasily killed out by the scratching andfeeding of the chicks. It furnishesplenty of green feed and brings someInsect life and It does not becomeenked with fertilizer as quickly asbare ground, or ground covered witha very sparse growth of vegetation.

Place for the ChicksWe do 1 not know of a better place

for growing chicks than out In thegrowing corn fields. Their colonyhouses can be placed alongside' the-cornfield and' If a good; clover oralfalfa patch happens to be alongsidethe cornfield also, so much the better.Then they would have both sunshineand shade, grass and raw dirt In whichto play, bant bugs, fresh, green vege-tables? etc. All' they would need ln>addition would be • hopper of goodgrowing

the health department of the stateof Arkansas, has returned home,bringing with It a story of devasta-tion and hardship far more startlingthan that told in the dally news dis-patches of the time, of more thantwo months ago.

Dr. Howard A. Lanpher, empldemi-ologist of the bureau of preventablediseases of the Connecticut depart-ment of health, and Ira V. Hlscock,professor of public health at Yaleuniversity, left this state on May 1,

. to aid in the work of relieving thesuffering caused by the ravages ofthe deluge, and of putting the coun-try Into liveable condition. Theyare home no-n—nith stories of themisery and the desolation they saw.

An account of Dr. Lanpher's sevenweeks in Arkansas gives an unusualand absorbing picture of the inti-mate affairs of a people stricken bya disaster almost unparalleled inmodern times. Dr. Lanpher, having

lly, in the middle of the night, whileall were asleep, crashed through ahuge crevasse, and a wall of waterforty feet hifh swept over the town.More than 150 houses were'sweptaway and 300 twisted off their foun-dations. Everything was coveredwith muddy water for more than tendays.

About the only person awake atthe lime of the disaster was the op-erator of the telephone exchange,which was located on the secondfloor of a building directly in thepath of the torrent. She succeededin notifying all the subscribers onthe exchange of the collapse of thelevee, before all but three of the 300wires were swept down. She thencalmly awaited daylight while waterlapped about the building within afew inches of the second floor. Threehuge gasoline storage tanks, mount-ed on concrete, In back of the spotwhere the dyke gave way, weretossed a hundred feet or more by theforce of the deluge-

Numbers of those giving In thesection had believed thTlevee, whichis supposed to take care of a rise of39 feet over mean low water, wouldhold, or at worst only overflow. Withthe latter possibility in mind, how-ever, and in view of the factnhat thefederal weather bureau had predicted

of course dl3cu«sed the flood prob-ja l i s e ot m o r e t h a n 40 feet, theylem with numbers of other workers built huge rafts, and on them placed

their fords, cows, pigs, horses, mules,and such other possessions as theymost valued. The rafts proved prac-tical and saved some property, butwhen the water come in, had to bemoored to the tops of telegraph polesto prevent their drifting away.

One farmer, more optimistic thanthese, merely placed his car on hisfront porch, some few feet above theground. The machine was complete-ly inundated. Those who failed totake any precaution, confident thatthe embankment would hold eventhough the . tremendous pressure ofthe water above the town was under-mining the levees, causing what arecalled "sand-bolls" in the ground onthe inside, lost everything. Morethan 16,000 head of live stock was

"What is going to happen nextyear?"

The levees which have so longloomed above the flat surroundingcountry, like a monstrous aquatiuctcarrying the Mississippi river to thegulf, have proved inadequate to re-strain the huge floods which everydecade,'or oftener, pour down thevalley. Not only this problem facesthe people who depend on the 1,000miles and more of earthen dykes fortheir lives and liveihood. More im-mediate is the fact'that the delugeof this spring, the worst by farsince the white men'have, known ofthe river, has weakened the founda-tions of the embankments, and inhundreds of iikict-s obliterated themcompletely.

The makeshift patches alreadyhastily constructed in the upperreaches of the river where the waterhas receded, will not stand even thestrain of the June rise to which theriver is subject when* the snow meltsin the mountains'of the back coun-try. .The beginning of the June rise,Jn fact* resulted irra break at. Clar-endon, Ark., while Dr. i,anpher wasstationed in the section aiding in thework of preventini? epidemics aftertin? recession of the early springHood. In his opinion army, engineers,who have charge of.the levee system,cannot possibly bring the dykes into.shape to withstand the liobd whichthe spring rains will send down thevalley next year. The June.rise isnut usually sufllcicnt to cause seriousdamage.

Speaking of tin-flood condition inthe Mississippi valley as a whole,Dr. Lanpher explained the reasonfor the unprecedented magnitude ofthe recent flood. Twenty'or so days

The clay following the breaking otthe levm.' in Clarendon was devotedto rescue work. Most people werefound on the .second floors of theirhouses, and in many cases on theroofs. In one Instance one memberof a family went up into the attic otliis home to escape the water whichcrime over the.' second floor. Thecontinual rise finally trapped him inthe uppi-r room which had no outletother than the/ stairway. Rescueworkers had to cut a hole lu the roofto pet 'him out.

In another town freight cars, usedfor quarii-ring refugees,, were flood-i-il, and the'occupant spent three•days standing in eighteen inches ofwater" before they could be rescued.At the lime of this break in thelevee a...florin brought rain and ahigh wind which lushed the floodwater into three-foot waves.

of constant rain in .Missouri, and at! In. Clarendon the county courtthe same time in the Ozark moun-.house was situated on one of thetains, filled the Mississippi, and thusnot only prevented iis flooded tribu-taries from emptying into It, but alsopointed out that there is no reasonwhy it may not happen again nextyear or any other year, nor any wayof telling whether or not it will. Inany case, spring rains annually floodthe basin to some considerable ex-tent, and his own observations coup-led with discussions with men en-gaged in similar work all along thedevastated region, he declared, con-vince him that it would be impossi-ble to repair this spring's damage toeuch an extent that the levees willhold next year.

It was at Clarendonon the Whiteriver, that. Dr. Lanpher spentv muchof his time. The town, though somedistance from the Mississippi, wasprobably as hard hit, lie said, as any.single town in the whole valley, witha few possible exceptions. It hadbeen covered wiUi-trom 18 to 20 feetof water lor lun days, before the re-cession even began. When Dr. Lan-pher arrived in the'district, however,the cre.st of the Hood had passeddown into Louisiana, leaving behind

highest points of land In the town.The first floor-was flooded but thesecond was used to. quarter thosewho had been driven from theirhomes. A motor boat, engaged inthe rescue work,, went in throughthe front door of the building, de-posited its burden on the stairs, andthen cruised out through the reardoor for another cargo.

The chief concern was to obtainsufficient water fit for drinking. Thepeople of the town drove a pipeabout twelve feet down through thewater near the court house Into theground. Thus with a pump they ob-tained water which had filtered intothe ground.

Upon his arrival Dr. Lanpherfound the pump still there, but thewater had receded to allow peopleto get to the wells. The water inthem,.however, was polluted by theflood. Signs warning of typhoid dan-ger were posted, and Dr. Lanpherobtained about .a dozen wash tubsfrom a department store. These heset up near the pump, and filledthem; treating the water with lime.

People were forbidden to drink anyit desolation, and incipient epidemic.I »•" H» t reat*d water, and every ef-

fort \was made to keep them IromIn view of this, the health depart-• mt-nts of thrcp .states, Arkansas,, Mis-

sissippi und Louisiana, had met toformulate plans for rehabilitatingthe land. Funds and men being un-available, appeals were sent out to

• other states, and during the period-when. the Connecticut men werethere sixty-eight trained men fromall over the-'country responded. Dr.Lanpher and Professor Hiscock were

disobeying. How, successful the ef-forts of'the doctor and the town of-ficials were may be-judged'from thefact that only two cases of typhoidoccurred in the town, and these twowere" refugees from another town.

During the work of mopping upthe wreckage left by the disaster, theone traversable road into CJarendonwas. guarded, and only those-provingthat they hadulegltlmate businesswere "allowed in the town. Other-

health ofllcials of the.state.. Tfieir wlse.jaccording.-to Dr. Lanpher, it

Clarendon had a water supply sys-tem, the water being furnished by apump located down near the leveeand th a pit fifteen feet deep. Thepit had first to be bailed or pumpedout. a fire was built on the grate,with water Just about an inch belowit.

While this went on, together withother efforts toward rehabilitation,it was necessary to blast dykes inmany places to allow water whichhad been cornered to run beck intothe river. Besides the repair tobouses, the roads had to be resur-faced. Twenty-four convicts' wereassigned to the town by the governorto work at filling hi the craters Inthe roadways, and to help set housesback on their foundations.

Imagine, said Dr. Lanpher, thatthe turnpike from Hartford to NewHaven was perfectly flat, with nohills or curves, and that one couldBee for miles in every direction. Thenimagine seven feet of water—thick,heavy water that could almost belifted In the 'hand because ot theamount of mud and silt In it—overthat road, covering fences complete-ly and leaving the upper half of tele-graph poles and one second story orroof ot an occasional house on eitherside marking out the highway. Thenimagine traveling down that roadfrom here to New Haven in a motorboat, and there's the. picture of whatthe relief workers bad to face Inmoving to and from some of theseArkansas towns.

"in spots the water would be shal-low over the road and to avoid arence we just steered the boat outinto the nearby fields and sailedaround the obstacles. In the treesthere were plenty of moccasinsnakes, too, sunning themselves andhanging from the branches above thewater."

All set to work to repair the ray-aged countryside. In one town whereDr. Lanpher went to open a clinicfor typhoid inoculation he found themayor busily engaged in digging outa ditch on Main street. It was notunusual. The doctor himself wentabout clad in khaki trousers, an outfit .completed by a decollete flannelshirt. He traveled part of the timefrom place to place in a dump cartdrawn by mules, some roads beingInaccessible to automobiles.

Transportation In the flooded areawill be disrupted for months to come,In Dr. Lanpher's opinion. Ferries onthe river for the most part take theplace of Inundated roads between theriver towns. Huge sums will be In-volved in repairing railroda rightsof way. Most of the tracks are laidon embankments, built especiallywith the periodical floods in mind.These in many places were under-mined. Dr. Lanpher spoke of watch-ing bubbles come up in the wateralong the side of the tracks, whenthe train on which he was riding toLittle Rock from Memphis passedover weakened spots in the embank-ments.

These are but a few in the innumerable incidents which characterizedthe desolate valley of the Mississippiduring and after the flood. Due tothe work of the public health'officersall through the section, serious epi-demics have so far been prevented.But the danger* Dr. Lanpher statedIs not yet past. Typhoid, which isnot likely to break out later than amonth after the chance for infectionoccurs, has probably been conqueredDr. Lanpher himself Inoculated morethan B.ooo people against it In hisclinics, distributed about the onecounty. - . . ' • •

Pools, however, are strewn aboutthe land, and the stricken stateshave neither'the funds nor. the menavailable to oil them properly, to prevent the breeding ot the malaria mo-squito which thrives In such condi-tions. Dr. Lanpher expressed greatfear of such an epidemic, which athe present time, heaped upon theother troubles of the valley people,would practically paralyze.that sec-tion. The work of the Red Crosscontinues, Dr. Lanpher reports, andthrough this organization an attempis being made to avert such a calam-ity.—Hartford Times.

KECP MAMUAOC • /

The complaint made toy Dr. Wil-liam T. Hornaday against a praetloe

box.The campaign in Waterbury aad.

its environs is in charge of C H.Platt, superintendent of malls. "Theidea of the campaign," explained Mr.Platt. "Is twofold. The purpose is tomake it easier for the carriers todeliver the mails, and secondly toawaken a bit of civic pride in barms;the boxes, and especially the groups,present an appearance of care andneatness. You can see for yourselfwhat the carriers are up against.''Mr. Platt continued between bumps,

he pUoted his "old reliable" overthe unbelievably rough country roadsaround the city. Not only do thecarriers have to endure an averageof 26 miles of terrific Jolting a day,but they are continually irritated byboxes with no names, boxes on thewrong side of the road, boxes tooigh to be reached without alighting

torn the car, boxes on both sides ofhe road directly opposite each other,

boxes pointing in the wrong direc-tion, and boxes Improperly marked.

In an hour's tour through thesouthern environs of Waterbury, notmore than 25 per cent of the mallboxes were found to be satisfactory.The list of government specifications,like all government lists, is long and!oniprehenslve. The box should beiiu' of the approved makes in thelist place. It should have a signal.It should face the road. The boxhould be painted white and shouldit-ar the name of the family printed'Jwirly in black upon it, and if moreh:m one family is using it, it shouldiave the names of the additionali.inllles. There should be a door.in' approach to the box should be

i vi-led and properly filled so that the.-i'.nier can drive close enough to It,o deposit the mail without havingo get out. In winter the approachhould fie shoveled out. The boxhould be on the right hand side of

tht* road as traveled by the carrier,and'three feet six Inches from theground. Where there are severalboxes at a corner, they should be11 mounted on one support. Suchs the ideal as laid out by those inlower at Washington.The movement to beautify the rur-

il mail boxes and to expedite theivork of the carriers was set on footbout three months ago from Wash-iiKton. A list of the specifications,vas placed in each box on the routesround the city, and results awaited.

So far, the results have not beenoverwhelming, Mr. Platt said. Someif those affected have seen fit topply at least a coat of paint andtentative shove to a listing post.

Others have made efforts to have[heir box just as it should be, andtill others have not found time to

do anything; about it. Mr. Platt estimated that about a fourth of the,500 boxes on the Waterbury routes

were now as they should be. Theremaining three quarters still leavesomething to be desired. .

The reason for the campaign fromthe point of view of the carrier isa justifiable one. There are 2,000families,in the outskirts of Water-bury served by the rural carriers,of whom there are five. In manycases more than one family uses abox, so that the total number of box-s is less, about 1,500. That is an

average of 300 boxes to a carrier,and each carrier must cover about26. miles a day on his route. It isevident enough that if he must becontinually' getting out of his caro deliver mail, driving from one side

erf the road to the other, and havingto bother with boxes that have nosignals, no names, or faulty covers,It is going needlessly to prolong hisday's work. For the sake of thecarrier, then, it is a long needed cam-paign.

From the point of view of civicpride, it is also a worthy movement,Mr. Platt says. The country roadsabout Waterbury are dotted withpretty houses and well kept lawns,why should the mall box be alloweda license all its own to appear asunkempt as it pleases, to be placedon a post that has not been pointingdirectly skyward for years, and torust away for the lack of a coat ofpaint. Communities have clean upweeks, devoted to keeping the streetsfree of unsightly rubbish, and keep-ing the lawns mowed in the parks—why not, says the Post Office Depart-ment, clean up the mail boxes also.

There are those who may lamentthe substitution of neatness and uni-formity for the quaint dilapidation ofthe clump of mail boxes at a countrycross roads. A large - part of thecharm of the New England country-side lies not in its neatness and ap-pearance of progress!veness, but injust the opposite qualities. Dilapida-tion and ruin created.in the back-waters of New England may be pic-turesque, and the atmosphere ofnothing having happened of any im-portance for a hundred years, is arare commodity, and one eagerlysought. *U, the old mailboxes go,those hardy and intrepid "adventurerswho dare to face the scorn of theirfriends as well as the solitudes, andtramp through the quiet places ofConnecticut and other New Englandstates, may find one less charm onnext year's1 pilgrimage.—WaterburyRepublican.

parties wttL no doubt, meet wits theapproval of many people, who takethe marriage rite as serious, if not asolemn matter, regardless of the easewith which marital relations are sewered these days. There are many,many people who have no patiencewith the pranks, some of them mrfrom gentle or refined, that bridalcouples are subjected to. There is,perhaps, no rite about which thechurch throws more solemn cere-mony than the marriage rite. Yetit Is no exaggeration to say thatthere are occasions when bridalcouples have scarcely turned fromthe altar to leave the church, whenshowers of rice, confetti and whatnot descend upon them. And thepractice that Dr. Hornaday's eonvplaint foetuses attention on! A pro-cession of automobiles equipped withbells and other noise making devices,making a round of a crowded cityto advertise the marriage of « couplewho, no doubt, would be spared theembarrassment to which their un-thinking, if enthusiastic friends, aresubmitting them! What could bemore annoying? It marriage is asolemn religious rite, why reduce itto the level of a clowning vaudevilleshow? If the church has endeavoredto Impress a couple with the serious-ness, and sacredness of the obliga-tions they have Just taken, why in'terpose the effect? There Is no rea-son in the world for making a mar-riage a gloomy affair; there is everyreason for keeping it dignified. IfDr. Hornaday's complaint will havea tendency to do away with the side-show dressings that torment inno-cent victims, he should be commend-ed.—Stamford Advocate.

, a. slipper on one footIn contrast to the shiny pates of

the hairless ones, the pavilion wasfully decorated. Wreaths of moun-tain lanreLJinng about the hall andAmerican nags added to the decor-ation effect

And the trappings of the hall wereequalled by the dinner table. Every-thing that a bald-beaded man de-lights to eat was there. Hairless clamchowder, bald broilers, green cornon the cob with hair and lobsters ala Baldhead, all cooked to a hairand accompanied by the trimmings,contributed to the happiness of thejolllest club in America.

Nor was the gathering withoutmusic. A special band of bald-head-ed musicians, brought along by theWaterbury delegation, provided spe-cial bald-headed airs. Every mem-ber of this band presented a shinytop exterior.

Rev. S. T. Clifton of Wlnsted of-fered grace before the meal began.Grouped about the head table, caus-ing the atmosphere there to glimmerand shine with even greater bril-liance than the rest ot th« paviliondining room, were the fallowing un-decorated members: William CKemp, mayor of Wlnsted, Judge L.J. Nlckerson of West Cornwall, Fred-erick A. Hubbard of Greenwich,president of the club, Mr. Clifton,William B. Halstead of Wlnsted, Mr.Hodemeyer, Robert L. Chamberlain,of Greenwich, Irvllle A. May of NewHaven, Major Louis H. Stanley ofHartford, Charles G. Agard of Tor-rlrigton, Major Clifford Perkins ofHartford and George W. Greene ofWaterbury. .

Mayor Kemp welcomed the mem-bers of the club. He pointed outthat Wlnsted is the former home ofJohn Rodemeyer and declared thatBodemeyer and Louis Stone, editorof the Wlnsted Citizen, have madethe town famous. He told of Mr.Rodemeyer's work in founding abachelor's d u b in Wlnsted beforetoe organized the Bald-Head Club ofAmerica and remarked that thefounder's marriage had probablybroken up his first club.

President Hubbard, In a short ad-dress, told how Mr. Rodemeyer hadbeen inspired to found the club forbald heads. Judge Nlckerson, thenext speaker, congratulated Mr.Rodemeyer on having been able toattend the banquet. Mr. Rodemeyerwas struck by an automobile whilewalking In Greenwich a short timeago. Although all of his ribs onone side were broken and he had sus-tained other painful Injuries, the or-sanlzer and first head of the organ-ization presented himself at the ban-quet board of the annual meeting ofhis club. Judge Nickerson said heknew that pedestrians have Tightsbut that they are usually the last sadrites and that Mr. Rodemeyer waslucky to escape them. Mr. Rodemey-er was greeted with rousing cheerswhen he appeared- using a cane,limping, and still wearing a slipperon an injured foot which cannot heforced into a shoe. •

Resolutions were drawn up andadopted by the club on the death ofCharles E. Valll, a past president ofthe club who died since the last

I meeting.After this the presentation of

prizes took place. John M. Burr ofBurrville, won the award presentedto the fattest Bald-Head. Mr. Burrreceived a tiny union suit, of a sizeto fit a well proportioned doll. Thethinnest Bald-Head received a sickle,evidently to cut his hair with. Ly-man P. Case of Wlnsted won this

Honor. The tallest Bald-Head, Rob-ert L. Chamberlain of Greenwich,won a curling iron, also for use inpreparing the remainder of his fastfalling locks for pubUc gase. D. N.Clark of Shelton, picked as the short-est BaldiHead, was awarded a pairof stockings, of a hue which no self-respecting bald-headed man wouldallow himself to be cauge wearing.President Hubbard was voted thehandsomest Bald-Head to be foundand for this distinction received awaving iron. This iron, like thesickle and the curling Iron, Is to beused by the president in preparationfor all future banquets of the Bald-Head club. Deacon E. M. Bonsonof Wlnsted made the presentationsot the prizes in behalf of the com-

. mittee which consisted'of himself;George W. Greene of Waterbury andEdward McDermott and Mr. Clifton.

Mr. Rodemeyer was then calledupon for a speech. He said thatJudge Nlckerson has taken up aUof the time the club should devote

' to speech making and so he wouldonly talk for a minute and a half.

- He said that some of the brains inhis head had leaked out through thewounds he received In his recent

The gentlemen from Cicero, OL,spent two strenuous and uncomfort-able days in rural Connecticut aadtheir only return to date has betaconsiderable discomfort *"1 *h* pros-pect that they may spend severalyears in Wethersneld as guests ofthe State. While they are then theymay have an opportunity to meetother gentlemen ot their craft whoattempted to rob a bank In Portlanda few years ago.

Connecticut has always submittedmost unwillingly to bank robbery.We recall a striking Instance in DeepRiver a little more than 25 years ago.Four men, attempting to rob a sav-ings bank at 1 o'clock in the morn-ing, found an alert watchman armedwith a muzxlle-loadlnj type of shot-gun. It was not a weapon to be de-spised. The undertaker removed thebody of one of the robbers; the oth-ers left hastily.

About ten years later a bank inSuffleld was entered. Tbe robberscarried off valuable securities. Onecan imagine their feelings when theydiscovered that the securities, worththeir face value to the bank, werenot worth anything to them. Theyhad lost a hard night's work, hadbound the watchman at the terminus. . the Windsor Locks and Suffleldbranch .railroad and were "out"whatever they expended In railwayfares In reaching Suffleld. It musthave been discouraging, So, withthese facts in mind, bank robbery InConnecticut is regarded as an un-profitable undertaking. The people-hereabouts are strongly prejudicedagainst it.—Hartford Courant.

TIB moonlight was the white,liquid moonlight of June. EllenBolt had girlishly tested It byreading stood from a newspa-

per which dement had left upon theveranda. She had begun with a suffl-cJentiy obvious headline—"MjsteriousDisappearance"—and read on througha Caw lines of the line print: "WhenJohn Bay walked out of the house

L last night bis wife expected him tolecurn In a few minutes. That waaithe last that anyone, so far as canbe learned, saw him—"

"Why I" Ellen's folce came to anabrupt stop. "How dreadful! I wish1 had not happened on that. It—Itrather apolls the moonlight."

She stuffed the .newspaper Into thepocket by the wicker chair and lookedacross appeallngly at her companion,an elderly neighbor, who bad. runacross the lawn for a chat. .

"Such things often happen," Mrs.Conklln said. "I knew of a case once—but I guess I better not speak of it"

"Why not?" Ellen leaned forward,resting her dainty, bare elbow onher knee., Sbe had dressed a littlemore particularly than usual for Cle-ment's benefit. Even though they hadbeen married a year he was still herappreciative lover, although growingrather grave of late. The moonlightmade a picture of ber with ber darkhair and bright eyes and white arms—a picture any. man would haveloved to possess. "Why not?" sbe In-sisted. "It's not likely to happen tome. Or you.' So I don't mind hear-Ing about It. One must talk of some-thing." .

"This happened a long time ago,"sold Mrs. Conklln. Ber wicker chaircreaked a Uttle as she settled herselfIn Its depths. Sbe was a generouslylarge woman with almost white hair."I was Just a little girl, but it madea great Impression on me. The fam-ily lived In the same block with us.I knew the girl very well. She wasstudying music and showed a greatdeal of talent, but the thing her fa-ther did spoiled her career and near-ly killed her mother."

"What did he do?""My dear, he did Just what that

man you've been reading about did.He ate his breakfast one morning andstarted for his work as usual. Hisdaughter watched him turn tbe cor-ner. That was the last ahe ever sawof him—the last sbe or anyone everbeard of him, although the detectivessearched for months."

"Was be—killed?" asked Ellen."I don't think so. He simply got

tired of life as It was and quit Aman who resembled him but wasdressed altogether different was seenlong afterward In Bio Janeiro. Ofcourse there was no way of telling.His wife and daughter would neverbelieve that be ran away, but othersdid."

- "Perhaps he suffered from aberra-tion," breathed Ellen.

"Well, of course, that's possible.There was a queer streak In tbe wholefamily. The girl showed It, but shebad reason, I think after what herfather did."

"What was their name?" pursuedEllen. „

"The girl's name was Denton—Denton Vanhoon. .

When her neighbor had gone Ellen. went Into the house and without turn-Ing on a light sat down In the deepchair before Clement's desk. Mrs.Conklln's innocent narrative hadstarted a train of thought that filledber with terror. Denton Vanhoon!

' She remembered that name attachedto a wedding present which she had

. received from his cousin, Clement hadsaid. And somewhere was 'a pictureof Demon's father—In the desk, per-haps. . Ellen sprang up, turned on thelight and began to search.

She was feverishly seeking whenClement entered.

"Hello!" he cried. - "What's up?""Nothing. I was looking for a pic-

ture—you know, that picture of Den-ton Vanhoon's father."

"I'll find It for you." Clement cameforward and found the picture at once.It was In a little velvet-covered case.He snapped the spring and theylooked at it together. "Why did youwant to see It?" he asked.

"Oh—you look like him, Clement!""They've always told me so. Yet

I never saw him in my life. He wascone before I was big enough to re-member. Denton is better than mid-dle aged now. You see. Uncle Clem'was the oldest and father the young-est In a family of twelve—whatmakes you shiver like that? You'lltake cold wearing such thin dresses."

Ellen laughed. "Oh, not I'm notcold," she said,' trying to keep herteeth from chattering in the nervous

. chill that possessed her. And whenClement put his arm about her anddrew her close to his own warm-body,she suddenly flung her arms "about hisneck and dung to him :ike a child Ina passion of fright .

That night she dreamed horribledreams of calling Clement and bear-lag no reply, of seeking him .wildlyand finding him gone/

Next, day, vestiges of these dreamsbung about ber like hideous cobwebs.Added to them were a thousandthoughts, suspicions, fears. She gotUncle Clement's picture'out of thedrawer and* studied It Clement hadthe same eyes, the same oddly-shaped

of body. la afew nays her face began t» shew the

of this BMBtal strata. WhenOement <nt*ttd the boose she gamwith relief; if he waa a few nunateslate she realised torture. Mia, Conkito grew concerned for her and Cto-meat h*g*. to notice.

"My darting I Are you sick? BOBM-siekt What alls you? Go and visityour mother for a few days," he ad-jured.

"No! Not I cant leave you,1

sighed Ellen.There came a morning when she

was too sick to rise. It was only aheadache, she said, but Clement badthe doctor come, and Mrs. Conkllnand the other neighbors brought inJelly and chicken broth.

"I'm going to stay with you allday," Clement said. "I'll read 'EnochArden' to you. Enoch, you know,came back, but his wife had foundanother protector."

"I never should, not If you stayeda. thousand years," cried Ellen.

"What are you talking about! Doyou think I'd ever leave you!" re-proached Clement In bis deepest tones.

She fell asleep wbUe be was read-Ing to her. When sbe awakened anhour later sbe found him sitting be-side the bed with his lap full of mallwhich tbe postman had brought Hewas reading a letter and bis brow waspuckered.

"Dear! What U It?" sbe asked.He turned to her."It's a letter from Denton Vanhoon

—poor Denton 1" be said. "Do youknow they've found out what becameof Uncle Clement after aU thoseyears? He was not crazy at aU; hewas made way with for sis watch andthe little money he bad upon his per-son. The man that did It and severalother similar things died the other dayIn prison. Before be died be con-fessed. There was no mistake, forhe sent the watch back to Denton.Poor Denton!"

Ellen burled ber face In the pUlowand wept

"I'm glad," she sobbed, "no, I'msorry. That is—Oh, Clemmy, we musthave ber come here to visit us andstay a long time."

"It would be nice," agreed Clementgravely.

Five minutes later he wondered whybis darling should feel weU enough toget up, dress and cook him as gooda supper as be bad ever eaten.

"Down Brake***In accounts of railway collisions

one frequently encounters this state-ment:

"On seeing the danger, tbe engineerwhistled ''down brakes' and reversedthe lever."

As a matter of fact, the expression"down brakes" has been obsolete fora long time. What the engineer reallydoes when a collision seems impend-ing is to shut off steam, apply the air-brake and open the sand valve. Allthis takes about five seconds, and Inthat time all that human effort is ableto accomplish for the train and pas-sengers mav be done. Hallway engi-neers-are Instructed never to reversethe engine after the airbrake hasbeen applied, because the reversal re-duces the resisting power of thebrakes.

McGraw Changed BattingStyle of Eddie Farrell

McGraw changed Eddie Fan-ell'shitting style at the training camp atSarasota, Fla., this spring and madea real hitter out of the little short-stop. While Farrell was considereda brilliant fielder when he came tothe Giants from Penn, It was thoughtthat his bitting would prevent, himfrom becoming a big league star.

Last year Fan-ell's cut at the ballwas not free enough to suit McGraw.He was known as a "choke hitter."This spring McGraw taught the short-stop bow to hit with a free and easyswing, and now Farrell is one of thebatting heroes of the 1927 season.

Big league managers often changethe batting styles of recruit players.Wally Plpp was a poor hitter when hefirst came to the big show as a mem-ber of the Detroit Tigers. Jenningschanged Plpp's swing and the firstbaseman . quickly developed into oneof the best hitters in the Americanleague.

The but part of the letter m showsthat tbe heart of the writer is with,humanity. He to far away from him-self—the first part of the letter—In-terested to the "brotherhood of man"prindple. •

If his writing Is large and he makesa capital C with a loop at the startresembling a heart without the letter.jthen you will find that this writer will;go out 00 his way to help another and;will not ask remuneration for i t Inifact, be will give so much time toothers that yon may find him thread-bare, along to years.

Wide spaces will be found betweenthe words when one is benevolent andthe writing may be found to slant fartoward the left

This type of writer always has agreat deal of hope and their t banwill Invariably point upward.

Can H* Promote) a Basiness1|

In the business world we find twodistinctly different types, each a suc-cess in his way. One Is the promoterwho bubbles over with Ideas, alwayscommanding others to "do It this way,"but never doing it; then his opposite,the man who puts the details togetherand concentrates on the many Uttlethings that go to make the big successthat the promoter has conceived andstarted.

This writer, the promoter type,writes as you would expect to hearhim speak—loudly. The letters of this'words are big. Much space is taken.Sometimes Uttle Is said. The appear-ance of rushing water Is seen In thewriting, which In reality is the writer'srushing mind. His Ideas come quickand fast He hurries in his.writingfor fear he will forget,: Many dashesare seen; large loops; underscoring;t ban.heavy and long; here and thereloops wUl be musing; many 1 dots areabsent; wide margins. Various sizesof letters and t bars; Indicating ver-1

utility. Pressure, showing nerve en-ergy Is seen, too. Forceful writingof one who believes In himself.

A Lesson On Self EsteemMuch of one's character may be|

known by the simple letter M. This Ismade up of three parts or furnishesthree separate keys for reading tbe

writer.When the first part

of. the M Is made excep-tionally high, we maybe sure that tbe writer

M that lacks te wlf-concerned. Hepersons l h a " * e t t 0 l e a r n h I m -ambltlon. • e I f a n d ^en take up

with others. If thissection of the letter Is lower than therest and the other two parts are equal,then the writer does not think enoughof himself and does not take It toheart when he falls.. This trait will be accentuated If thet bar Is made far to the left

Frequently we find this writer mak-ing tbe lines of writing down hiU, atrait of discouragement His writingwill look very uneven and not deanand pleasing. This is due to hismoodlnesa.

If you find, upon reading this, that 'your writing shows similar traits, prac-'tiee, when you write again, and holdyour mind on the opposite as youwrite the opposite form of letter andyoti wUl build thejeonstructtve trait,hi-your character.

The census will be the first effortover made to Inventory world agri-culture. It follows die dream of DavidLubln, founder of dw InternationalInstitute of Agriculture at Borne. Lu-bln WM convfaced die Institute shouldnot only serve as a clearing boosefor such statistics u might be sup-plied by adhering governments, butshould take die toad In promoting bet-ter and more dependable Informationthroughout die world.

As director of die world census,Estabrook has found tiiat ot 200 coun-tries only 60 ever have taken an In-ventory of agriculture, fewer dian40 of tiiese have taken a census since1900. In die last six years only fouror five countries have taken censusesIn dw same year.

As a consequence no satisfactorycomparable figures on Internationalagricultural conditions are available.It to die object ot the world census tomake such figures available and toobtain statistics which will have acommon meaning In all countries.

The census will take account of sizeof farms, kinds of farms according towell-recognised categories, area ofarable or cultivated land, area allot-ted to each crop, and the productionof each crop for die period coveredby die census; also die number of live-stock of each kind on each farm byage and sex.

The work of die census will be doneIn the assembly room of die Inter-national Institute, a palatial structureerected by King Victor Emmanuel ofItaly, from his private funds, and pre-sented to agricultural Interests of theworld.

"The Black hills played a peculiarpart in the frontier life of America.They were unsettled and unexploitedlong after emigrants bad establishedthemselves in California, Texas, Colo-rado, Utah and other territories far-ther west This was because all ofwestern South Dakota was reservedfor die Sioux Indians. The woodeduplands of the Black bills bad longbeen a favorite hunting ground ofthe red men. In 1874 die secretaryof war sent an expedition to the re-gion and Its mineralogists discoveredgold. When this became known, pros-pectors stole in, in spite of die bestefforts of the United States armyand after a year or two of unsuccess-ful'efforts to eject them, the federalgovernment found It necessary topurchase die bills from the Indians.They were tiirown open by PresidentGrant In 1876, only 51 years sgo.

Pre-Roman DwellingUncovered in Germany

Berlin.—Ruins ot an ancient cot-tage dating long before die first Ro-man Invasion of the. German border-lands have been excavated near MayenIn the Rhlneland by Dr. Franz Oel-mann of the University of Bonn. Ruinsof die villa type of architecture. In-troduced by the Romans, are commonenough In southern Germany, but thisIs die flrst good example of die bousesbuilt by die Celts who occupied dievalley even before the Germanictribes came, and who gave to diegreat river Its Celtic name of Rhine.

The house was built over a timberframe, the gables being, formed bylong poles set solidly in die earth andthen bent toward each other overshorter supporting posts, so that whentheir ends were lasbed together diesides and roof of the house formeda single sweeping curve, like die topof a pointed Gothic arch. The spaceswere latticed In with lighter wandsand covered over with a thick thatch.

Houses of this type, Doctor Oel-mann states, are known In die SouthSea islands, and In some parts ofSouth America, but for centuries havenot been built In Europe, save In cer-tain very Isolated regions ot verybackward culture.

First White to See It. - — - -Caoesa da Vacs, a member of •

Spanish expedition which was ship-wrecked on die coast ot Texas about1528, and who, In company with ttireeotiters, passed from tribe to tribe un-til they finally reached their country-men in Mexico, probably was die flrstwhite man to see die Joruado delUuerto.

It la believed that be and his com-panions first looked upon it from diesummit of San Augustine pass andtraversed Its sounthern end. There IsUttie wonder that die conquistadordubbed this perilous passage die"Journey oS Death," In view of die.dearth of water, die sandstorms ofsummer and' die Icestorms ot win-ter. _

The first expedition of note knownto have come over this route was In1882, when Antonio de Espejo tra-.versed die trail, followed by a longUne of Franciscan friars. With diepriests came soldiers, adventurers andexplorers, until hi 1680 die united ef-forts ot die Indian tribes turned dienorthward tide by administering abloody defeat.

Chief Commercial Route.A few years later another army

under' Don Diego de Vargus passednorthward to die reconquest of dielost provinces, and when Mexicothrew off die Spanish yoke and NewMexico became a part of die southernrepublic most of the commerce be-tween northern New Mexico and dieUnited States came this way.

Over tills route the members of dieIll-starred Texas-Santa Fe expeditionwere driven In 1842 to Mexican pris-ons, and it was over this trail tiiatAlexander Donlphan traveled with hismemorable Uttie army of Mlssourianato defeat a superior Mexican army atBraztto without the loss of a man.
