Our Characters,

Miss Elizabeth Greenwood, the
earnest Bible reader, recently gave an
impressive discourse to large church
audience In Harrisburg, taking for her
subject an old theme Character
Building" but she dressed it up in
such manner as to make it fresh and
new.
Miss Greenwood said: ave are all
builders and in our buildings we need
plan. We should take Christ as our
model. He is perfect and is proven
SO by even the assertions of his
enemies. In the building of our char
acter, we require physical and mental
material. BY activity in these branches
OF our structure we cultivate them
and make them better for use in the
making of truly good character. We
should lay our foundation in Christ"
Miss Greenwood declared that a
person has chance to build bad
structure or a temple and in the build
ing OF the latter, the little things of
home, the word, the act and the look
do much. A time comes when our
building, the character we have made,
is tested and if we build with Christ
as our model, it will pass through the
fiery ordeal, unscathed. Miss Green.
wood in closing referred to the beauty
of this idea and to the interest she
has taken in this movement since
leaving her college.
Throughout her talk the speaker
quoted philosophers and poets in sup
port of her views and aroused great
interest In her work.

Paper Manufacture in America.

1t is q curious and rather startling
fact that next to the articles entering
into food and clothing, paper is the
most universally used commodity in
the world, says the Philadelphia Times.
The daily output of news print paper
in the United States is about 1900 to
1900 tons. Just think of 125 or $50
carloads of newspapers mentally de-
voured each day in this country! The
production of news print is larger than
any other grade. That of book paper
is probably as much as 1000 tons ard
of writing 400 tons each daily.
The gross daily capacity of the paper
mills of the United States in opera
tion during 1929 for all kinds and
grades of paper was estimated at about
10, 600 tons. OF this amount nearly
$500 tons represented news print and
book paper, 1900 tons wrapping paper,
$50 tons strawboard, 450 tons writing
paper, and almost 2400 tons of the
various other kinds and grades.
The States which rank first in the
production of paper are New York,
Maine, Massachusetts,, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. From
these seven States come nearly three
fourths of the entire paper supply of
the country. BY far the greater part
of the vast output Is consumed in the
United States, the greatest paper
using country in the world.

New Building Material.

A new building material called
compoboard is thus described by the
Northwestern Lumberman: 1t is
made of one-eighth-inch strips OF
wood from three-quarters to one and
quarter inches wide, placed be-
tween two sheets of heavy strawboard
and united under heavy pressure with
strong cement. The process of
manufacture is peculiar. Into the
machine that molds the board are run
two sheets of the strawboard from
rolls, one from above and one from
below a table onto which are fed from
feeding device the strips of wood.
roller running in a tank of the
liquid cement rolls upon the inner
surface of the sheets of strawboard,
and the three layers of material run
together between rolls and into q hy-
draulic press capable of exerting q
pressure 100 tons to the square inch.
Ten feet of the board is stopped auto
matically for few seconds in the
press, then run out upon table fit
ted with cutoff saws, where it is
sawed to the desired length. 1t is
then run upon trucks, placed in the
dry-kiln, and when taken out is
trimmed to fortY-eight inches in
width.
The strength of the board as COM
pared with its weight is marvellous.
The ends of an eighteen foot can be
brought together without breaking or
warping it. No conditions can warp it.
Wall paper is put upon the board
and the finish is as fine as upon any
plastered wall. The strong points
claimed for the board: 1t is not more
expensive than frst-class plastering.
1t forms an absolutely air-tight. wall.
1t stiffens building much more than
any coat of mortar can. 1t is quickly
put on and produces no dampness, thus
causing no swelling and shrinking OF
floors and castings. 1t is light, thus
avoiding the dragging down of the
house frame, the consequent cracking
of walls and the wsrping of the door
frames. 1t forms solder, cleaner,
drier wall at no more expense than is
involved in the old way.

RArxs or ADVERTISING,
MY SWEETHEART.

Twas a quaint rhyme scrawled I'm a spelling
book,
And handed to me with bashful look,
BY my blue-eyed sweetheart so fondly true
In the dear old school days long years ago
"If you love me as love you
No knife can cut our love in two"
That SANDERS speller," 50 tattered and
torn,
Has always a halo Of romance worn,
And never poet with honeyed pen
Has written 50 precious rhyme since then
'If you love me as love you"
Ab, dear, you know did do.
I've kept It safely for many year
This dog's-eared shabby old spelling-book,
dear,
And now, as hold It within my hand,
Again in tho school-room l seem TO stand
Reading once more with rapture new
"If you love me as 1 love you.
How some foolish saying from out the pase
Like rose branch is over the pathway cast,
And the time of flowers, we still remember,
Till minds blow cold in the bleak December.
God grant 1t always may be true
"That you love me rs love you" Il

Fear as a Cause OF Disease.

An eminent medical authority
makes the statement that a great deal
of contagion is due largely to nervous
apprehension and fear. Terror
causes radical changes in the secre-
tions and nerve cells, and while tho
possibility is not the direct cause OF
disease, it certainly is sufficient to put
the person in the proper condition TO
be attacked by the prevailing malady.
1t is n well-understood fact that ex-
cessive anger infuses a toxic element
into the secretions, md the bite of n
man in a state of frenzied rage is al
most as deadly ms that of n mad dog.
Fear destroys the resistivo capabili
ty and, as it were, lets down tho
drawbridge and makes way for the en-
emy. In seasons o. epidemic, there
fore, it is necessary to cultivate tran
guilty and cheerfulness, to learu not
to fear and to surround oneself with
an atmosphere of personal, mental and
physical defiance of dangers. If, in
addition to this, due precautions ms 10
dress, diet and rest are taken, one may
walk in the midst of the pestilence
and dwell in infected regions, and no
deadly thing shall harm one. New
York Ledger.

How He Saved the Baby.

Elijah Davis, motorman on car 121
on the Lake Breeze line of the Salt
Lake City Railway, some days ago
saved the life of babe which had
crawled upon the track between Ninth
and Tenth West on Second South.
As the car turned on to the clear
stretch in the vicinity of the Fisher
Brewing Company's works Davis gave
it all the current possible, and the
motor was doing its best The motor
man had his eyes fixed ahead, and to
his horror saw little child not over
eighteen months old moving in the
grass and weeds in the middle of the
track. He threw off the current, set
his brakes and rang the bell. Tho
track was slippery, and the wheels
continued to move. The car was rap
idly approaching the babe, and it
seemed as though no power could save
it.
The continued ringing of the gong
and the shouts of the motorman at.
traeted the attention of the child, and
it crawled out of the weeds and di-
rectly upon the rail- Here its posi-
tion was even more dangerous than
the other, for the cruel wheels was
sure to grind the little body into
small pieces. Seeing that he could
not control his car, Davis left his
post, jumped to the step, and, cling
ing to the outside hand rail, reached
out ahead of the car. The baby was
still on the track, aud as the car
rushed down upon it the plucky mo-
tormsn grasped its dress and drew the
child cut OF harms way, salt Lake
