CAN YOU FIGURE 1T OUT?

Here is a mathematical problem

A pretty miss with rosy checks,
Just merging from her teens,
Was quizzed one day about her age,
Her height, her weight, her means.
She thus the querest answer made;
"The following ] propose;
My age, my height, my weight and
wealth
To you it will disclose.
"My age augmented by my height
And weight, then multiplied by three
Is In proportion to my wealth
AS one to thirty-three.
"My height, weight and wealth COM
bined
Increased by just score,
Divided by one thousand gives
My age and just no more.
'fMy weight, wealth and thrice my age,
Increased six and score,
Is just two hundred times my height
Increased by thirty-four.
envy wealth, age and thrice my height,
Diminished by eighteen,
Is twenty thousand just outright,
What must they each have been?"

The editor desires to express his heartfelt
gratitude to those dear, unknown friends who have
brought cheer to us, through the sending of Eas-
ter greetings; the sentiment of which we appreci-
ate more than we can tell. The spirit which actu-
ated the sending of these mssives cannot be mis-
taken. 1t denotes the very highest type of Chris
tian character a desire to tighten the load of an
unfortunate brother; it proves that this old world
is not cold and heartess after all, but that good
will toward men is as much in evidence in the
minds of right thinking people today as it ever
was
We wish we could personally thank the senders
of these greetings, and sometime tell them how
dearly they are priced.

Anne L. Morrison is sacred-her face that of an

sincerely hoping she may be spared to enjoy many

Our heart goes out to those men here, who
look longngly in vain for letter from their
wives of happier days. We know they'd give
years of their lives for word of encouragement.

good they need now more than ever before. We
have the detected, heart broken, forlorn
look in their faces as they have told the story.

How fortunate then, is the man whose little
wife, even amid untold hardships, remains true
and faithful? Even though his indiscreton has
brought to her disgrace and want-tho she has
been compelled to struggle along alone, support
ing little Ones perhaps; bravely fighting on and
keeping the family united, she patiently waits for
the return of her recreant husband-all forgiving,
ready to forget the past and begin life anew
What has fallen so low that such devotion
this would not inspire determination in his
heart to devote his whole life in an endeavor to
make her happy? Could any sacrifice that he
might make for her be greater than that which
she is making for him now?

could reasonably ask for. We thought, and

doubt had very good reasons for acting as it did,

will be given us to do so. We have seen it all

come to that point, by the grace of God, where we
can take our disappointments as an expression of

We would suggest, too, that in future the

Easter at the New Prison
Splendid Service Enjoyed by Inmates
in New Auditorium

| in New Auditorium
One OF the most enjoyable and
altogether attractive services ever
held at this prison was that held
Easter morning, for which we owe
our thanks to the untiring efforts
of our chaplain, Rev. John Nc
Coy.
The gallery was filled with visit
Ors, and the inmates turned out al
most to man. The stage was beau
tifully decorated with blooming
plants artisJically arranged in
pyramids on each side and along
the foot lights.
Our two choirs appeared at
their best and rendered numerous
we'll chosen anthems, and the pro-
gram was greatly enhanced by the
presence of Miss Scott, of Still
water, who, with our regular pi-
anist, Miss Schroeder, gave piano
duet that elected the greatest en-
thusiasm. The responsive reading
and hymns were joined in by the
inmates heartily, and everybody
left the auditorium with the feel
ing that it was indeed good to
have been there.
The program was as follows:

Sir Francis is now paying his first visit to America after having spent more than 20 years on the frontier and in the hin- terland of India.
 Instability along the Indian frontier and the approach of a rival power in Tibet drove England into the latter eoun- tdy explains the soldier diplomat. It was suspected that secret negotiations were being carried on between the Tib- etans and Russia. which wold work to the detriment of England, with her vast interests in India Finally. no progress having been made by attempted long distance negotiating, since the Tibetans refused to negotiate it was decided to send party to the sacred city of Lhasa itself The escort of Sir Francis at the start was 200 but later the detachment was swelled to 420o native Indian and 800 British troops.
 We started in May" says Sir Francis. we halted 12 miles within the border to discuss with some Chinese officials the matter of a treaty regularizing our re- lations with the Tibetans.

The City Beautiful Is Coming True

When the City Beautifule commission CT, George Ward tapped the bell for at tention to the yards and highways he did not dream of what it really would bring forth All over the district. including Greater Birmingham, are little groups of women hammering away on the cause. They are not only hammering on the stumps and rubbish in their way, but they are knocking the inventor of the scheme, because the wherewith Is not forthcoming to clear the way to a beauti- full scene. The vacant lots are. night mare and necessarily must be converted into a haven for the children: the swings are to be built, the weeds to be cut, and even snakes are in the way. It's up to Mr. Ward to make this thing go And don't you imagine for a moment there is any failure to remind him of the needs
 He las either got to be ''Johnnie-on-the- Spot or a mighty good dodger if he ex- poets to live through the changing scenes of the City Beautiful Just how many groups have been organized is guess work, but maybe in the neghborhood of 200. and each one, mind you, has about dozen new items for the perfection of then plans. It is no longer dream with Mir. Ward; it is stern fact that Birmins- ham is going to be beautiful-that is, if all of the obstacles can be removed at once. Now besides Mir. Ward, there is Mir. Weatherly. He seconds all good motions
 and as he Is in charge of the parks he must be consulted before serious steps are taken. There are places to be filled in and others to be dug out, and MT
 Weatherly favors all of this, but the good ladies must invoke the services of MT. Frank Gafford-and there the joke comes in. He has sowed oats before, and he knows just how to promise these ladies everything they want If they could just get hold of him what they would do to him would be a plenty. They are all after him. Some of them want wagons, others want hands; some want trees many need soil, and others would raise sand. Then, too, the city engineer comes in for his share. Everything must be done in civil engineer style. The missing links must be accounted for. Mir Nicholson is out on big jobs, and one lady ventured to say
 I'd like to see you get MT. Webb out among these ladies to measure anything" and so 1t stands. The commissioners are not at home to the ladies, just now, over the phone, but one lady remarks the gentleman who answers is awful nice, just as polite as he can be and the promise to fill the bill is forthcoming so cheerfully that one most looks out the window for
