THE MEN BEHIND THE TOWN


TITS the man behind 1t that makes
the town" says a writer in comment
ing on town building.
No truer statement was ever made.
Men can guild a town anywhere.
They can overcome natural obsta-
cles. and bring the treasures OF Ma
ture to their feet. The right kind of
men could build a city in the Sahara
desert, but the wrong kind OF men
could not build one in the nest fay-
ored spot on earth. The existing cit
les are not always in the best loca-
ton, nor do they possess the most
natural advantages There are thor
sands OF ideal places for building cit
les, but the men are not there.
When men start In earnest 10 build
city they build it. If rocks and hills
interfere, they remove them. II rUuds
leading to town are bad they put I'M
der way plans for making them good.
II swamps abound they fill them up.
II sickness prevails, they abolish it
by sanitary measures. II the water IL
bad, they purify it, II the surround
ing country is too wet, they drain it;
If too dry, they itrigatt Neitl err dis
lance, heat, cold, hostile people, Wild
beasts, insect pests. or storms can
prevent men from building city.
When men strive they conquer. The
measure OF human saccess is the
measure of human desire and do

THE PROFESSION or MOTHER
HOOD

II Is a difficult PROFESSIONALS
procession of motherhood. In the an
imal kingdom, as the offspring grow
older, the parents withdraw their
ministrations, but in the human fam
lily, the older children grow, the more
diplomacy and enthusiasm is needed
by the ruling spirit. When the boys
begin to get unruly and the girls be-
gin to get silly--the husband gets
less willing to make an effort and
more ready to sit quietly by the IRE
In the evening--then 1t Is that many
family drifts apart. But the mother
can have no holiday. She must al
ways be on tap. The only difference
Is that as the children grow older,
she must pretend that II Is they and
not she who are managing affalfs.

Water Spout 500 Fest High.

The passengers on the White Star
liner Cedric, just arrived from Liver
pool, had the unusual experience of
seeing four waterspouts Thursday, the
largest Of which was described by the
officers as being 500 feet high.
At 1890 o'clock In the afternoon
when the Cedric was about SEQ miles
east Of Sandy Hook. a waterspout was
sighted about FIVE miles away on the
starboard. travelling east-southeast.
Another smaller spout was sighted a
few minutes later, which did not ap-
pear to have any end that could be
seen. To the right Of it were two
other waterspouts moving in the same
direction. but smaller than the first
one sighted.
An electric storm broke and the
vivid forked lightning 1T up the black
clouds as they passed over the water
spouts and showed the dense volume
Of water clearly to the passengers and
crew. The officers said that It was
the biggest waterspout they had ever
seen in the Atlantic. and added that 1t
was in sight for two hours.
