WHY VACATIONS ARE GIVEN.
Mind and Body Are Benefited by
Change and Relaxation of
Summer Outings.

In this age of tension every boy should
be taught some form of recreation that
he will cling to in after life When the
thing by which he has made his fame or
money threatens his very existence, he
can turn to this safeguard, and, while
his mind is pleasurably occupied, regain
his physical poise. 1t may be yachting.
canoeing on little rivers, mountain
climbing, travelling, horseback riding or
hunting. Whatever it may be, the
thought and the love for it is better en-
gendered during the formative years, if
there is full understanding that it is
TO act as running mate to the greater
work in life, and is properly and neces-
sarily part of boys education.
For those who work under modern
stress, there is, with rare exceptions, al
ways a time when the strain becomes
greater than the endurance, and an en-
forced change is imperative The sum-
mer vacation is the expression of phys
ical necessity. 1t has come into exist
ence in America in the last 25 years, and
it satisfies the need of many, especially
the young, who have not forgotten how
to play, or those, the strong among us,
who learned something as boys that
they still like to do as men, There are
others, however, who are not so fortu-
nately placed, and still others growing
up who do not realize this need.

these motley folk but make thd huge
city still more American, for is not
America built up in strength and pro-
gressiveness from this very admixture
of diverse elements?
Let us look at some of these foreign
ers.
Prosecutions, and a desire to give
their children better chance than they
themselves have had, have caused the
Jews to herd in the close quarters of the
Chicago Ghetto. Though Chicago is for
tunate in her wide territory, giving easy
foothold to many thousands of her mill
lions, yet even here there exists crowd
ed Ghetto. Over $4,000 persons dwell in
this quarter, near to the very heart OF
the city; and doubtless, owing to pres
ent active prosecutions in Russia, these
numbers will presently be greatly aug
mented. In this quarter the looker-on
comes upon Jews of well-known types;
old, bent, thin men, with long gray
boards struggling over long black SILK
dust-coats; old women, with great bum
dies on thier heads and gay shawls
about their shoulders; push-cart men,
old, young and middle-aged; sharp
nosed, sharp-eyed youths; dark-eyed
maidens, displaying amid their poverty
the Jewish love of finery; old-clothes
folk galore; myriads Of children.
Though everywhere are visible and
penetrable the filth and squalor attend
ing overcrowding and extreme poverty,
too, everywhere is noticeable good-na-
ture, kindness and helpfulness. And
here, while one finds eager ambition for
a rise to better conditions, one finds also
a true democratic spirit; willingness to
lend hand, and belief in the gospel
of equality. A newcomer is Jew, well,
then, he must be given welcome and
a lift; be he Austrian or Hungarian,
Pole or Russian, Bohemian or Rouma-
nian. The Ghetto, it is needless to say,
is by no means locality where sanitary
laws are rigidly enforced, but in spite
of it's dirt and disease one cannot but
note the many evidences that the Jews
of Chicago find life worth the living.

Hernandez has been a revolutionist
ever since he was 20 years old. He got
his first taste of powder away back in
1868, and there has been few years
since then that he has not spent more
or less time in the field Venezuela
has not had president in all that
period whom Hernandez has not tried
to overthrow. His last attempt was
against the present President Castro.
whom he has been fighting ever since
Castro seized the reins of power up to
a very short time ago.
1t was only two days AFTER Castro
busted Andrade that Hernandez raised
the standard of revolt against him, and
less than a year ago the beaten leader
was wearing 60-pound shackles and
subsisting as best he could on banana
peels while suffering the imprison-
ment that Castro had sentenced him
to. Had it not been for the joint at
tack of Germany and England on
Venezuela last summer Hernandez
would probably still be in prison. But
in the face of the country's peril he
was liberated by Castro, and he is now
regarded as one of the Venezuelan
presidents strongest supporters.

THE STARS AS GUIDES.
Ingenious Device for Use ON Vessels
when the Heavens Are OBJ
scurcd by CLOUDS.

The stars have always been the guide
posts of the sea, but only recently has
device been invented by which they are
accurately identified, says Worlds
Work. In an overcast sky they will
a1pear for a moment and then lose
themselves behind a cloud. The mar
iner must by guess or by some diagram
of his own work out his location from
them. The new invention consists of
star map over which swings trans
parent scale, and it revolves from the
point located on the map as the north
pole. On this scale are engraved the
circles of altitude and the lines of
bearing. From this map, by slight
calculation, and by revolving the trans
parent scale until it is opposite certain
figures indicated on the map, the ships
location can be instantly taken. The
name of this particular star is obtained
easily by reference to the nautical al
manac by a guide on the chart.
This seemingly simple device is al
rearty in use on the American line and
the Red Star line of steamers, and
every new test reports success. 1t is
the result of many years study and
hard labor on the part of DR.. Cess
niger. whose idea it is. Even after the
working model had been made and
found satisfactory a difficulty arose. It
seemed impossible to duplicate by any
mechanical means the transparent in
dicator. No engraver could be found
who was willing to undertake the work
of reproducing exactly the fine lines
and figures on this scale, the use of
which depended entirely on accuracy.

much profund secret as possible And
now the machine has been seen and
judging from it's antics is more OF a
fish than a bird, for it made straight
for the water after beginning its flight.
Prof. Langley has been at work on his
invention for over 20 years. He is an
old man now and if after the damaged
machine is repaired it should still re-
fuse to fly it will prove bitterly disai-
pointing to him. He has devoted his
best energies and beside has spent
$4,000 of a government appropria-
ton made for military purposes in his
endeavor.
About month ago he sent his APP
paratus down the Potomac in the keep
ing of party of scientists and ma
chinists, there to make the all-impor-
tant trial under the most approved
conditions. They have a houseboat
from which the machine has just made
it's disastrous fight and all sorts or
other paraphernalia. In their trail went
representatives of every important
newspaper in the country. The scien-
lists have devoted themselves to keep
ing out of the way of the reporters.
They have been living at the Mount
Vernon Ducking club, of which Prof.
Langley is a member, and they have
relentlessly driven out everybody who
ventured too near the sacred precincts.
Now it happens that there are other
members of the club than Prof. Lang
ley and they resented its monopoly by
the scientists to the exclusion Of every

Very few of the $4,000 Russians try for
anything above common manual labor,
most of them being from the peasant
class; but the children of these day-la-

ents. The children learn our language
quickly, and they, and the different
spirit of the new land, are all working
towards the uplifting of the many vary
ing folk from the cars broad domains.
Quite unlike the Russian are the Ital-
ian dwellers of Chicago, though both
are poorest of the poor. Living in dirty,

age somehow to bedeck themselves with

her marriage to Mrs. Cushman H. DAVIS.
the late chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee, the social feud
which that marriage inspired, the po-
litical fortunes which it made and
marred, all conspired to lend to it a
romantic interest Added to this was
the interest which attached to the
woman herself in the long period Of
her social prominence in Washington
1t was as Mrs. Cushman n Davis
that she held her place in the life of
by the same name that she will be re-
ferred to hereafter, in spite of the
ceremony which has made her Mrs
Hunter Doll. While Senator Davis
was alive his wife played q conspicu-
Gus part, and this was especially true
after he became chairman CT the for
eign relations committee, which car
ries with it a certain social prestige
belonging to no other Craftsmanship in
either senate or house.
When the Davises went to Paris at
the time of the meeting of the peace
commission, of which the Minnesota
senator was a member, Mrs. Davis be-
came easily the most conspicuous of
the women attached to the mission,
and her doings were chronicled on
both sides of the Atlantic throughout
the time of the sittings. Her recep-
tons were the most crowded, and the
number of notables in her train was
greater than that of any other Ameri-
can woman. Of course, this sort of
thing aroused jealousy, and, of course,
there has been any amount of talk
among Washington women, but the
object of it all has gone about en-
joying life in her own way.
