winning thesis in the Baldwin inter-
collegiate contest. the prize being 800
1t was Won by Oswald Ryan. of An
derson. Ind. a Harvard student. over
students from thirty-cight other coll
leges. Mr. Ryan made the leading
thought of his essay the feature of tho
Capitalization and concentra lion of adj
administrative functions under the COM
mission plan for cities and its great
value in securing prompt and efficient
government. At tho same time he
pointed out one thing which caused n
good many to hesitate in giving sup
port to the plan when first presented,
namely. the effort to force tho voters
to abandon all organization. or party
association. in municipal affairs. In
Des Moines, at the last city election,
the nucleus OF a municipal party di-
vision was formed despite the Law.
There is ground" wrote Mr.. Ryan.
"for legitimate difference of opinion
In matters of local concern. and. in
the sense in which politics denote a
struggle between persons divided on
local Issues 1t is perfectly legitimate
that it should enter into local govern
ment. 1t is difficult: to determine just
how far the commission system con-
templates an elimination of municipal
parties If 1t means to go so far as to
eliminate entirely party divisions in 10
cal government, it does so in violation
Of a principle which the most careful
students OF government are inclined
to recognize a necessary part of city
government"

The state will set a good example
for good farmers in Iowa and in
year with the hay and forage very
short will erect silos on the state farms
and store the fodder for the special
use Of the big dairy herds. The board
of control last winter made investi-
cation as to the material and cost of
silos and virtually reached the con-
clusion that silo could be built out OF
either wood. concrete or brick. and that
the chief question was one of price
and durability. SO the slos the state
will build will be made chiefly of vitri-
fled hollow brick with cement bottoms
and roofs The state will build two
at Davenport. Mount Pleasant. Clarin
da. Knoxville. Cherokee and GlenWood
each; and one at Council Bluffs and
one at Eldora. Crops have already
been planted for he silage TO fill them
and the work Of construction viii COM
mence at once. An engineer from the
state college at Ames will supervise
the construction and most of the work
will be done by the help at the insti-
tutions, so that the state will probably
build slos a little cheaper than they
would come for the average farmer.

Youngblood Attributes Longevity t
Name-Is in Splendid Physical
Preservation.

Saltlllo, Texas. E. Youngblood Of
this place believes that his name has
prolonged his years far beyond the US
uaI allotment of life He recently cele-
brated the 106th anniversary of his
birth, and he is said to be the Oldest
active bricklayer in the world. His
very name is suggestive of long life
and he has never let his thoughts
dwell upon old age. Youngblood in
name and young blood in his physical
and mental activities have guided him
along hfe's pathway. He has never
contemplated. himself in any other
light than man full of wholesome
and untiring energy. His blood is still
young, he says.
Mr.. Youngblood believes in hard
work. He has done his full share of
physical labor during his long life
and expects to do lot more before
he is called to his final reward Re-
Gently there was a shortage of brick
layers on the new library building
that is under construction at Sulphur
Springs, and Mr.. Youngblood was sent
for and pressed into service. He is
said to have performed the work of
laying the bricks as well as the young
er men who were employed upon the
job. IN addition to following his
trades as bricklayer and stone mason

London Literary Acade

One respects the Internationally
gentlemen who are to start the British
Academy, and select the words we
should use, and one wonders who shall
be in the other eleven who make up
the forty who shall finally try to stop
the English language from taking its
own course. But our language has
had its vagaries. It has gone through
America and Judaism and Spain and
well 1t is a compound of all the ma
tons on eartu. It's a greedy language
and digests all words. 1t invented
Hindustani and the pigeon English of
Shanghai. From the Babu to the nat
Iralized American negro, from the
Maori to the Highlander, they talk
English, and so many kinds Of English.
Each man brings his word from the
various countries and continents and
lays it on the counter at Charing,
cross. That's English" he says. And
on that counter are placed words from
China or West Africa, from America
or Australia, English words that have
been annexed and imposed. There
isn't room here for a dictionary. But
it would not take long to prove that
you cannot stop the English language
from growing-even by an academy

Automobile Nerve.

One of the nerviest spectacles ever
seen on an auto raceway occurred In
the Long Island stock car derby at
Riverhead last September. Herbert
Bailey, mechanician for Louis Disbrow
and his No. /, literally shook hands
with death. When the car had passed
the stand on it's fourth lap and was
two miles from the repair pits the pin
fell out of the reach rod, disabling the
steering gear. The machine threat
ened to become unamanageable.
What did Bailey do but climb out
over the hod, lower himself down ON
the little cranking rod, and sit facing
the radiator with his feet proppedl
against the front axle! With one hand.
he prevented himself from being
dashed under the wheels by holding on
to the little water cap on the top OF
the hood. The other hand held the
disabled steering gear together. Bal
ley rode 20 miles In that manner
with the car going full speed, until the
circuit was completed and the repair
pits were made.-Hampton's Maya

MODE or GARDEN OF EDEN
Art instructor Advises Women &c
Study Leaves In Designing
of Dresses.

As all know, Eve, the first lady OF
| the land, made herself dress Of fig
| leaves. The gown was an immense
| success, extremely fashionable; every
woman alive wore it.
| Now, after all these years, comes
| Henry Turner Bailey, who would re-
| viTe the fall mode Of the garden Of
| Eden, says the Baltimore Star. At
! least, Mr.. Bailey, head of the art in
| struction department Of the board Of
education, tmplores women to study
the leaves Of plants and trees and
| model their gowns after them.
Women need not go to Paris for
their gowns said Mr.. Bailey. They
can find the most exquisite styles by
simply studying the weeds that grow
n our back yards or the leaves of trees
or ferns. If every part Of a dress were
as consistently harmonized in its rela-
tive lines as a leaf, that dress would
| be well worth wearing"
II Mr.. Bailey were not an art in
structor he would be a baseball pitch
er, for he knows all about curves.
/ He proceeds to advise separately wo-
| men slender as the lily, women built
like caulif1ower and women who are
just peaches. Says he:
TT will not take any woman of taste
very long to decide which leaf repre-
sents the style that becomes her fig
ure. If she is stout or inclined to
stOutness she will select as her in
spiration and model those leaves or
flowers that have the sharper angles
| and thinner curves. Take the white
oak leaf, with every one of its curves
| a reversed curve, and the woman to
whom that kind of general design ap-
plies will have at once an inspiration.
For the woman of less pronounced
type there may be found another in
spiration in the bud Of the lilac, which
has gentle reversed curves all through
it. Then again we find that the St.
Johns wort has series of little
ellipses all through its foliation The
delicate curves Of the wild bean are
extremely suggestive to any person
who will study them, and it seems to
me that the average type of American
beauty could find in it an inspiration
for dress, just as the type inclined
to stoutness would find an inspiration
also in the common rosacea, or mem
Der of the rose family"
Wedding gowns will follow the
curves of the orange leaf, but widows
who marry the second time will build
their bridal dresses on the model of
the chestnut leaf Small babies long
dresses will be curved as is the leaf
Of the milkweed.
And so on.

Mans Sense OF Ambition.

Although imitation is one of the
great instruments used by Providence
in bringing our nature towards it's
perfection, yet if men gave them
selves up to imitation entirely and
each followed the other, and so on
in an eternal circle, it is easy 10 see
that there never could be any i'm
provement amongst them. Men must
remain as brutes do, the same at the
end as they are at this day, and
that they were Ia the beginning of
the world. To prevent this, God has
implanted in man a sense Of ambi-
ton, and a satisfaction arising from
the contemplation of his excelling his
fellows in something deemed valuable
amongst them. 1t is this passion that
drives men to all the ways we see
in use of signalling themselves, and
that tends to make whatever excites
in a man the idea of this distinction
so very pleasant. 1t has been so very
strong as to make very miserable
men take comfort that they were SUI
preme in misery and certain 1t is
that, where we cannot distinguish
ourselves by something excellent, we
begin to take a complacency in some
singular infrmities, follies, or defects
Of one kind or other.-Burke.

Mr.. Youngblood finds time to cultivate
farm which he owns near Saltillo.
He works every day in the field when
there Is no bricklaying job on hand
This season he has done all the cult
vatlon Of crop of corn himself.
This remarkable man is in a splen-
did state Of physical and mental pres
ezVation. He reads without glasses
and has all of his teeth but one. He
takes as much interest in the affairs
Of the community as a young man.
Mr.. Youngblood was born in Nash
vile, Tenn, in 1904. He moved to
Morgan. Ala, when boy and there
learned the stone mason and brick
layers trades. He worked at these
trades all over the South and moved
to Marshall, Texas, in 1849. A few
years later he moved to Sulphur
Springs and thence to Saltillo. He
says that he always made it a rule
in his younger days to follow his
trades five days Of the week and teach
singing schools on Saturdays and Sun
days. He still has a good voice and
leads the singing in Church.

Apartment and Explains I'M
portance of Pockets.

Chicago.-A bad boy and a small
fat always are chums. If Johnny is
worse than ever these days, blame the
diminutive apartment. It is all be
cause he hasn't sufficient room to
empty his pockets.
Prof. Allan Hoben, of the homiletic
department of the University of Chi
cago, explained the Importance OF
Johns pockets in a lecture on 1.-THE
Boy and the Modern City" at Mandel
hall at the university. The only won
der is that fiat dwelling children are
not all refractory, said the professor
The scientific exposition of Profes-
sor Hoben's theory is based on the
fact that boys carry in their pockets a
remarkable assortment of articles, in
Guiding pieces of string, bits of brick,
small stones, sticks of chalk, gum, fish
hooks, souvenir buttons, penknives
bird eggs, metal slugs, whistles and
mouth organs. If the possessor has
no chance to unload these objects a
detrimental effect upon his system en-
sues.
"a boy collects almost everything,
following the instinct of proprietor
ship and an idea that he will use the
things for purposes of construction, .
said Professor Hoben. "The small fat
usually has no provision for these
things, and thus the boy has no chance
to exercise his instincts in these di-
rections. Many fats are so small that,
l understand, the little dogs have
learned to wag their tails up and down
instead of sidewise.
Nervous deterioration from over
stimulation as the result Of many
sights and experiences is another evil
of city life for the boy. The city boy
may have greater swiftness and So
phtstication, but he lacks the ability
to apply himself to a problem for any
