IS OLDEST OF LIGHTHOUSES
Fire Tower at Ia coruna, In North
ern Spain, Probably Was Erected
by TraJsn.

At La Coruna, in northern Spain,
may be seen fire tower which is,
with the exception of the ruins Of
the Roman lighthouse at Dover,
England, the oldest of all existing
structures of this kind. The exact
date of the erection Of this tower is
unknown. According to an ancient
tradition, it is accredited to Her
cules, whence its name, Tore de
Hercules. Others say that Phoeni-
clans who had established several
colonies in Spain, had erected this
light tower for their northland
cruises. However, judging from the
inscription, it is more probable that
the Roman emperor Trajan COS to
III A. d. erected this structure.
The inscription also mentions the
name of Servius Supus of Lusitania
as the architect. The tower is built
of ashlars and is nine meters square
and forty meters in height. 1t has
six separate stories which can only
be reached by a circular staircase
around the exterior of the tower.
The lighthouse was restored in 1884,,
but at the end of the eighteenth GEN.
fury was again in ruins. In 1897 it
was rebuilt by the Spanish govern
ment, and still sends forth it,

STUDY coLoRED RAIN.

The shower of black ain in
Hampshire, which has been Occupy
ing the attention of the Meteorolog-
ical society, is not without precedent.
In November, 1919, ink-black rain
fell steadily for several hours in
New York, and at least twice dur
ing the last century a similar phe-
nomenon has been observed in Eng
land.
Red rain is fairly common, and
in May, 1885, there was a heavy fall

A. A. Whipple, who was in the
real estate business in Kansas City
when Ninth and Grand avenue prop

garded as hero by his personal
friends. In assuming this attitude
they take the ground that any man

Wouldn't War on the Ministry.


There are some drawbacks to the
teaching Of language by sound, espe.
cially where the younger school ele-
ment is being instructed by that sys.
tenn. In one of the first grade classes
of the Greenwood school lately the
teacher was endeavoring to drill the
Band Of Mercy slogan into the young
brains. One clause of the resolve"
is ar Injunction to be kind to all
harmless living creatures" Somehow
the pronunciation of tire phrase did
not quite suit and the teacher asked
for a repetition. and still there was
something queer about the way IT
was repeated. Finally she requested
one member of the class to say it to
himself, and while she could not yet
quite see what was the matter it did
not sound right.
Nov, Tommy, say it over again
slowly, I resolve to be kind to all
harmless living creatures" said the
teacher. bound to get the straight of
the matter.
Tommy repeated slowly, and, while
there seemed to be nothing exactly
wrong with the rest OF the sentence,
the final word sounded on color.
'Ts that creatures you are saying
there, Tommy" asked the puzzled
teacher. Say It all again"
With the sweetest resignation In
the world the boy repeated, II re-

The natural love of mother makes them look for a vsit--so after all mama turns up with papa for Riddle and the rest She has married again, and mama's on probation now She is given, the babe and goes back to make a home, and when that home Is proven worthy-that is, when the Judge feels sure the mother realizes her respon- sibility to the child and is really to begin life anew. and is prepared to provide the necessities. then and not until then will the charges be hers. They are wards of the Juvenile court and subject to the supervision of the officers until the nat ral mother is awakened to a new life.
 No court wishes to claim child from parental care: the case must be extreme to take the child. The spirit to cooper ate with the parent is uppermost in all probation work. but the home must demonstrate a moral surrounding before the child is left to it's care after 1t has become a protege of the court.
 Thus an endless chain of good comes of the small dimes and nlclSels you drop into the boxes as the girls remind you to be tagged for the Boys club" and that club combines the work of the Children's Aid society-the home that you and all the people have made possible for the wayward and neglected children of Bir- mingham and Jefferson county. The fact that there are so many children needing attention must remind us of the need of doing more for the young woman before she becomes a homo builder The young girl who grows up without the training necessary to make a useful woman. and Is without the desire and ambition to make a true woman, can reflect no credit onfa civilized community and will drag her dependents to be public charge.

 But as long Gs we allow these neglected novels to exist and breed and poorly house our children, just so long will we need more charity, larger jails and hos pitals for the diseased bodies and de- prayed minds of neglected children-what citizenship can possibly follow. These lit tie children have had three weeks of home What would they be if the real home had always been their share?
