LIGHTED WINDOWS,
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1913. by Fran. Crane

One summer / lived a while in 2 little
MOTEL that stood in a village and faced the
mountain. Out of my window could see
a great glacier, and from it came a roar
ing waterfall. the white blood of the ice
monster, running away forever
lne huge mountain mass ioomed 40
somber, imposing. All day long it stood
sturdy IN the sun and showed its brown
shoulders its rock teeth. its green pine
Whlskers, as if sleeping giant a dead
demiurSe. In the morning the dawn
fairies bathed it in rosy mist: At moan the
sun blazed over it and il glistened like
the shields Of warriors, at twilight il low
cred, dark, thoughtful. melancholy, the
dwelling place of mystery and of the
hosts OF fear.
10 watch 1t after sunset, wIien it slow
ly retreated from vision and wrapped
itself in clothes of shadow. was my mel
ancholy pleasure. How many thought
sent out to it. How many memories Il
awoke in me,
And every evening when the dark was
conquering and the gloom full fallen. |
saw a little light far up the mountain
side. 1t was window. Illuminated bv
lamp. / never knew who lived there.
and never inquired. ! had no wish to
know.
For whoever lit that window was one
OF the priests of life. representing Ia me
the unknown ministries. He was un-
aware of me. yet for me his lamp shone.
Behind the light was a soul. and he sent
q message to my soul.
All my life / have seen lighted win
dows in the twilight DISCOURAGED
have walked the city streets ami some
woman has smiled at me. Possibly sh..
was a woman with an evil heart; but
the charity OF my sadness disinfected
her signal. and it fell pure as a star
upon my spirit
I have taken up book at random
when vexed and cowardly, and have
found page therein that beamed, and
l was heartened.
I have opened my mail. while the
clouds of a chill Soul-Eeather were thick
upon me. and have found a letter from
some one never knew. and there was
n helpful, human word in il. and its
warmth penetrated me and changed my
day.
| have gliIapSed a happy child. a pretty
GIRL a wholesome woman hearty man.
an adventurous boy. cheerful gray
beard and they have been to me AS
lighted windows, motoning brotherhood
signs to me.
/ have heard the whistling of boy
the laughter of maid, the song of a
CAV worker. scraps OF sound that en-
tered into me as rays OF light from a
window among crepuscular hills.
And if SO be that one sentence / have
ever written shall strike upon one read
er's soul as a lighted window, then my
words are not all waste: for are we not,
he and /. forever after. brothers of
mystery unknown companions. travelling
side by side. with perhaps 1t th'rh Wlth
us, while our hearts burn within us,
as did the hearts Of them that walked
along the evening road to Emmaus:
Ny myriad unknown mates whose
lighted windows i have seen, / feel You
now. Shall not one OF the rarest pleas
ures of that next life bc for us 10 meet,
like clustering Pleiades, and soul with
soul to mingle as flames of happy light?

posed Her Resign.

CHICAGO, December 21-Mrs Ella
f'lagg Young resumed her desk today as
superintendent Of schools. Her return

members of the board of education whose
designations have since been accepted

OF schools. was elected to the superin-
tendency a few weeks ago ON a secret
ballot. Several organizations OF women
came to the defense of Mrs Young and
demanded she remain in charge of the
schools. Mayor Harrison accepted the
designations OF four school trustees who
voted against Mrs. Young, these resigna-
tons having been presented before they
went into office

the difference between aniiine dyed and
the vegetable dyed rugs. The oricntals
use a string of amber beads which they
draw over the surface OF the rugs that
the colors are reflected in them. f aniline
dyed they arc said to have Il cloudy ap-
pearancc: if colored with vegetable dyes
thcy have clear wavy outlines.
The designs in rugs are also significant
and the ability to reA them greatly en-
hanceS the value to the owner. Arabic
figures and characters are sometimes en-
ployed to give quotations from the Koran
or other sacred literature The Turks do
not weave figures OF animals, birds or
human beings into their rugs because
they fear that might lead to idolatry.
They do not desire to make their rugs
symmetrical because of the fact that only
Allah is perfect.

when imported to this country they bring
from SIS to several hundred dollars Il

undertake to supply rugs in apy shape
to tit any space and in any desired color
ing or design. He will submit water
color drawings of designs and the order
will be transmitted TO the orient and filled
within a few months. The manufacture
or oriental type rugs in this country can
not become a success because of the
higher cost of labor and the difference in
living conditions. The rugs can only be
made by hand under circumstances which
render time of small value. A few weav-
ers from the orient have been brought
to this country, but they are practically
all engaged in repair work.
While few real antique rugs are now
offered for sale, a large number of rugs
woven Tor domestic use and having in
teresting history connected with them are
being marketed. After girl in the o: lent

DEVICE BECOMES PART
OF ARMY'S EQUIPMENT
New Range Finder Said to Increase
Effective Fire of Troops
in Battle.

on Tie recommendation Of the school
OF muSketry at Fort Sill. Oklahoma,
the army ordnance department has
adopted a new range finder which is
accurate in its record of distances
within per cent up to $500 yards.
Already fifty of these new devices
have been ordered for use by infantry
and cavalry regiments. as well as a
dozen larger ones for use by the field
artillery. That number will be further
increased until there is one for each
company of troops. BY means of these
new instruments ordnance officers be-
lieve that considerable increase in
the effective fire of troops in battle
viii result.
Experts in the ordnance bureau point
out that it is impracticable to guess
accurately at an enemy at distance
be- ond SEQ yards. The tests made by
the officers who recommended the
adoption of the new finders simulated
service conditions as closely as possi-
BILE at distances from 600 to $500 yards
for infantry fire and at distances from
2.Joo 10 $500 yards for field artillery

DrismS in the center reflect the two
images through the common eyepiece,
one image being seen above and the
other below a horizontal line which
passes through the center of the field
OF view. The images are brought into
coincidence by the revolution of one
of the prisms. The instrument being
in adjustment, the image in coinci-
deuce, the range is read from a scale
dependent upon the amount of revolu-
tion of the prism.
This range finder is manipulated

awakened to the fact that without
the help of parents they cannot
carry out their proper service to
the children. Through the intelli-
gent cooperation, the work Of the
teacher is lightened and the advan-
tages to the children are beyond
estimate.
When schools serve parents as
well as children their educational
value is doubled. If the adult gen
Grafton is to be kept alive intellect
ually, keep on educating those who
have passed the age of school life in
one sense Of the word. We must
not stagnate if we wish to become

We must keep adding to our store

EDUCATING ADULTS
Parents And Teachers Urged
To Cooperate For The
Good Of The Child

A meeting held in the High
School, Milford, last Tuesday ev-
ening, under the auspices of the
Parent Teachers Association was
addressed by DR.. Charles A. Wag-
ner, State Director Of Education,
who emphasized the need for un-
derstanding between the home and
the school.
DR.. Wagner defined the Parent
Teacher Association as an organiza-
ton to enlist the mother-hearts ey-
eryWhere-those who may not as
well as may be blessed with child
rem OF their own. 1t makes the
child the watchword of the hour,
letting all else be secondary so
that coming generations may be-
hold new world and new people
Education is the art of prepar
ing child to take his place in the
world. This can be done neither by
the school nor the home alone. The
two must combine in order to obtain
the result. No school turns out
the child as finished product. It
merely helps to mold character, to
prepare him to live.
Historically the home is older
than the school. AT one time the
child S training rested entirely with
the parents, but the responsibility
has been largely transferred to the
teacher and the school. IF parents
make no effort to cooperate with
teachers they should not complain
that the school regime, which the
child is under, is wrong.
The intellectual education of
children unless accompanied by
the physical and spiritual develop
ment, may prove a disadvantage.
The home and school must work
together to give each child the in
telligent care which will develop
mind, heart and body. Educators
throughout the United States have
