What the Boys Thought.

DR.. Martin g. Brumbaugh of
Philadelphia tells this story on a
prominent educator who one day
visited one of the elementary
schools.
THE teacher asked him if he
wished to say word or two,"
said DR.. Brumbaugh, land be

point he was making by a prob
lem in long division, the intrica :.
cies of which the class had just
mastered. He put down the
necessary figures and then said /:

What Boy Think They Should Learn.

According to the idea of many
of the rising generation a young
man should learn to lie, to fiirt,
to cheat, to swear, to drink, to
play billiards, to swagger in the
street, to live without work, to
ogle every pretty girl he meets,
to treat his elders with disre-
spect, to talk loud in the presence
of others, to put on style whether
he can afford it or not, to boast
of the feminine conquests he has
made, to have every slang on his
tongues end, to gossip with his
chums about his lady acquain-
tances, to attract all the atten-
tion to himself that he possibly
can, to talk like loafer and q
flop instead of quiet, sensible
man, to call his father "the old
man" and his mother "the old
woman" to think lily of every
woman he sees, and to speak i'll
of her every chance he gets, to
tnrn up his nose at those quiet,
sober, industrious young men
who do not train in his crowd, to
treat his sister without any sort
of regard, to treat her like an ill,
bred loafer instead of like a gen.
tleman.
Here is your picture, fast
young man, true to life! Look
at it! How do you like it? What
have these characteristics made
of you? What will they do for
you? What has the future in
store for you? Unless you change
your course most radically
Ruin.

continued actively during the
period of shutdown.
Now that construction has been
completed on the great dam
across Salt River at Roosevelt, it
has become known that the con-
tractors devoted considerable at
teDtion at the beginning of oper-
ations to an idea that placer gold
might be found on the canyon
bed rock. The dam was built
upon the hardest rock, which
had been sluiced clean under
heavy pressure. The gravel re-
moved at the last sluicing was
run thru rifles built especially
for gold saving, but, much to the
disgust of the enterprising man
agement, not a yellow color was
secured after all the trouble TAX
en-, despite the fact that gold is
abundant in the Salt River water
shed and that placer claims have
been worked on the upper reaches
of the stream. Assays were TAX
en- from time to time of the rock
taken out of the canyon walls,
but no metallic values seemed to
be present.

Why the Winds Blows.

The wind, like other things of
every day life, rarely invites no.
tice unl0ss it is unusually high,
and rarely do we hear the ques-
tions, "Why does the wind
blow?' "Why doesn't the wind
blow?"
What is the wind that rushes
"Out of the nowhere into here?n
Why should it blow at all, or
why some times so gently and at
others times with the resistless
force of the hurricane?
The wind could have no power,
it could not even exist, if the air
had no weight, this weight hav-
ing been shown to be about thir-
ty.one grains for each hundred
cubic inches Of air. When air is
put in motion the effect is like
that obtained by throwing a ball
against al object. The harder
you throw the ball the harder it
will strike, and the greater the
number of balls thrown at one
time the greater will be the force
of the blow. When the wind is
blowing it strikes what 1t blows
against, and the harder it blows
(that is the greater the speed of
the air) the harder it will strike
against the resisting objects
What causes the wind to blow
or why the air should be in mo-
ton is not easy to explain. SIM
pIv stated, it is caused by the
tendency Of hot air to rise ard
thus to form partial vacuum in
to which the cooler surrounding
air rushes, 10 much the same
way as water will rush dowl to
seek its level. If the earth were
smooth, if it did not rotate and
if there were no sun the air
would be motionless. When the
sun shines on a wide space of
earth the air of that region be.
comes heated, this great volume
of warm air rises and the coo Ter,
heavier surrounding air flows in
to take its place. AS the earth
rotates there tends to be formed
ring of heated and rising air
with currents flowing at the bot
tom and at both sides. This is
the condition that prevails near
the equator and causes the trade
winds that blow so steadily. The
rotation of the earth causes the
wind south of the equator to flow
toward the northwest and that
north of this line to flow toward
the southwest,

The Safety Pin.

A historian of invention tells
US that to the walls of long
suffering infant we owe the boon
of the safety pin. Here is the
story: A little boy named Har.
rison, an English blacksmith's
son, had 70 look after his baby
brother. The baby often cried,
and its tear We're usually traced
to pin puntures. The boy nurse
tried a long time to bend the pins
in such a form that they could be
used with safety to his brothers.
flesh. In this he failed, but his
father, the blacksmith, perceiv-
ing the utility of the idea that
the lad had been at work on,
took it up on his own account
and eventually turned out the
safety pin that is in use to-day
all over the world. Whether the
safety pin would have still re-
NAMED in oblivion but for the
tormenting of one little English
baby no one knows, of course.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1911-04-27

Well assorted marriages are
essential to good homes. This is
natures law in the case. To vio-
late is to hiring swift punishment
on the heads of the violators, as
we'll as to bring a curse upon pos
terity. The husband and wife
who are not suited to each other
lead cat and dog lives. Their
children are nwelcOme and grow
up without care. The home at
lgosphere is not suited to the
healthy growth of virtue aud re-
fuement. What Is the result?
A family Of ill-natured, quarrel
SEINE, uurefred children. They
marry and carry to their homes
the same atmosphere and rear
and other families like unto the
ones IN which they were raised.
The wonder is that there are as
many agreeable and cultured
people in the world as there are.

Traffic Is Tied Up
By Street Car Collision

Because OF collision between q
Brookland car and a Ninth street cal
at the intersection of G and Ninth
streets northwest about o'clock this
morning. traffic was tied up for hall
an hour during a period of the day
when travel Is heaviest and hundreds ot
persons were forced to walk to their
places OF employment
Fifteen hundred employees Of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, who
begin work at 8 o'clock. walked from
the northeast part of the city.
The collision of the cars was due to
difficulty experienced with the power
in crossing Ninth and G streets. Sew
eral of the Eleventh street cars had
difficulty in rounding the corner on to
G street and the Ninth street car
started across the G street line unex-
pectedly. The Brookland car, west
bound, struck the vestibuIe of the Ninth
street car with considerable force.
The yestibule of the BrookIand car
collapsed and that of the Ninth street
car was shattered, but neither motor
man was injured.
The loss suffered by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company prob
ably will amount to several hundred
dollars.
