greatness to his mother, woman well

her natural intelligence and sympathy

Professor Stirling explained variety
Of optical illusions, including the after
effects of seen movements and entasis
or convexity in curvature. He demon
strated how the Greek architects had
realized the existence Of entasis and
had constructed their horizontal beams
in convex form In order to remove the
apparent concave appearance and had
given to the pillars on the Parthenon
and other ancient buildings Just such
a bulge as was necessary to destroy
the cratic effect of a series Of parallel
columns.
In dealing with colored shadows

great difficulties that occasionally be-

The Washington Post is printing some convincing editorials on the present day tendency to turn the principles of conservation into a permanent government asset n- stead of keeping the natural resour- ces open for settlement and civil nation. This has wrought, says the Post, "the official mind methodical- ly to a point that argues for the withdrawal of all lands traversed by the headwaters of nonnayigable streams from homestead entry and human occupation.
 The sweeping effect of such a stoppage Of the natural forces of national expansion is best under stood when we consider that the streams in question are num0erless as the leaves, and that they flow through nine-tenths, perhaps all, of the public lands in the West. Do the government authorities who con- ceived this unheard-of exploitiou of the conservation policy have any definite idea of what it's adoption would result in? The stated object of the government in abandoning the national lifelong policy of pro noting agricultural and commercial development to the full extent of our opportunities is to conserve the water supply at the sources of streams in order that water power may be developed to it's highest ca pacity, having due regard to the possibilities Of marketing the power

The Secretary of the h. terior refers to communities in the locality of power sites, but it is yet to be demonstrated that towns will spring up where nothing else abounds which man is permitted to turn his hand to in the struggle for existence. The banks of the streams must be as barren of fruit fulness as the lands roundabout.
 However, so highly thought of officially is this plan to substitute costly and impracticable artificial methods for the natural and cheap CT means of peopling the wilds and profiting therefrom, that it is further argued that even though the control of water-pOwer conces- sions properly belongs to the States, no policy they could adopt could give as good results as are assured if the powers and the property now held in Federal hands be retained. Legislation to this effect is asked for but so long as the machinery for amending the Constitution is in the hands of the States, it is an open question If the policy urged would ever get by as many as the ten or eleven states that would come within its provisions, If we are to continue to thrive as na- tion. the field of individual endeavor and ownership must not be abridg- ed"

To An Expectant Mother
Such a Colossal Thought should So

It does not seem to enter your mind

you to use viii power. self control.
prayer and faith while this helpless
being is being carried under your
heart.
You are building something which
will mean good or evil for the world,
for time and eternity
You are bringing into existence a
human being.
such colossal thought ought to
take such complete possession OF YOU
that nothing petty, nothing gloomy,
nothing selfish nothing less than
greatness and glory could enter your
mind.

That child now under your heart
has lived many times before on earth.
It viii come with many impulses and
tendencies brought over from old
incarnations; and many others from
ancestors o. your own and the anceS-
tors Of the father.
But greater than all these impulses
and tendencies IS the mind Of the
mother to mold and shape that child
into what it will be.
II you realize how wonderful is the
work given to do. and how far reach
ing will be the results OF how you do
it, a great awe will fall upon you, with
a great eXaltatiOn.
You will fall on your knees, and lift
your face to the Invisible Helpers,
and cry out. Creator. God. and all
Holy Angels and Intelngences in the
worlds and systems Of worlds about
and beyond me, help me to be worthy
Of this mighty mission Of motherhood
with which 7 am invested endowed.
