The following anecdote re-
speeding Senator Smoot is taken
from the Richfeld Reaper. We
do not vouch for its authenticity.
ut was just mere force of
habit that led to placing Senator
Smoot in an embarrassing situa-
tion in the Senate the other day.
Senator Smoot is chairman of the
Joint Committee on Printing,
and in this capacity he is very
careful to be informed of the ma
ture of documents offered on the
floor for printing before he al
lows the Senate to authorize it.
Senator Clark of Wyoming has
suggested that a copy of the
United States Constitution be
printed in the record. Senator
Shoots attention was conferred
ON some other matter at the time
the Wyoming man made his re-
quest, and he caught only the
words to be printed "
"Who is the author of the doe
ument?" asked the watchful
Utah statesman. A roar of
laughter greeted his query. He
agreed, after the matter had been
explained to him, that it was a
proper request to have the Unit
ed States Constitution printed. ="

THE SEVEN
MODERN WONDERS

The Seven Wonders of the
Modern World II were a far
easier task for even the learned
men who shared in the selection
to name seven score than seven.
On every hand, by night, by
day, we walk amid a multitude
of wonders, which are no won
ders to Us, but only common
place, because a part of our ev-
eryday existence. Today an in
fant's feeble voice finds its uner-
ring way along a tiny wire
across rivers and over plains and
mountains to the one home in
millions it seeks. To US no Won
der, and our young men and
women cannot recall the time be-
fore the telephone was. They
use without a thought, an instru-
ment before which the Seven
Wise Men would have Frustrated
themselves as a thing superna-
tural.
The Seven Ancient Wonders
were selected by the Greeks, and
their right to the title was es-
tablishei before Christ was born.
During all the intervening years
no attempt has been made to
definitely revise the Seven Won
doris" Generation after gener-
alton has come and gone ac-
cepting the decision one from
the other. In fact there was no
opportunity for a revision. AS

made marvels we have to show
for those 1000 years of human
life are a few cathedrals and pic

population of a city, floating

from the disaster, was rendered money
because she needed 1t. She refused to
accept it as a mere gift. saying in her
musical tongue:

She had the right spirit. The giver
and the recipient were benefited by her
correct attitude.
That w should endeavor to help
others goes without saying. But how
