MOVE INTO THE LIGHT.

MOVE INTO THE LIGHT,
The world to your vision,
Ny poor little lad,
So homesick and heartsick,
Looks sorry and sad.
The beautiful world,
Obi my son, is all right;
You sit in the shadow,
Move into the light!
Forsake the dark corner
That has been your bed;
Let plenty of sunlight
Come down on your head.
Then study your fellows,
Who labor and strive
To find the right pathway
In which they may thrive.
Oh, tender young mother,
And dear little wife,
'Tis true you feel sometimes
Quite weary of life.
You doubt and you worry,
You feel every slight,
You're sitting in darkness,
Move into the light.
Step forth in the sunshine,
And raise your bright eyes,
Take in all the glory
OF earth and of skies;
Your spirit win soar
Like a lark in the blue,
II you drive out the seeming
And take in the true.

Dear Aunt Nadqe:
saw in the last AMERICAN that you were
wondering If the Mayos and Mayhews were
originally the sane. l do not think that they
could have been, for as early as 1881 they were
two distinct families. I have no record of
either family earlier than that. / am much
interested in both. as my fathers people were
Mayhews from New Bedford, Mass, and my
mothers people Mayos from Eden, Me. So
it is just possible, Aunt Madge, that we are
"real flesh and blood relation, as well as
NJ b. ones. l hope so, any way.
Lovingly yours,
ELMA.
Thank you, Elma, for this information
relating to the two families. l believe
there was Rev. John Mayo who preached
many years ago in the old North church in
Boston. think he was an ancestor OF the
Eden Mayos. There's no doubt you are
"blood relation" to "Uncle" II not to
AUNT MADGg.

plane Rocked; Dodged Bullets.

The London Daily Nails Petrograd
correspondent sends a description of
NJ. Poiret, a French aviator who is
serving with the Russian army, of a
flight over the German position, ac-
companied by STAFF captain:
IL rose to a height of 5000 feet" said
Poiret. Fighting was in full swing.
The captain with me already had made
some valuable observations when the
Germans noticing my French machine,
opened fire on it,
"A number OF their bullets pierced
the wings of the aeroplane and others
struck the stays. We still flew on, how
ever, as IL was necessary TO obtain the
exact position of the enemy. Then the
German artillery began. Their shells
burst near the aeroplane and each ex-
plosion caused IL to rock. 1t was diff
cult To retain control as pieces Of shells
had seriously damaged two OF the
stays. The fantastic dance i'm the air
lasted 20 minutes.
The captain was wounded in the
heel, but continued to make observa-
tions. Finally ] turned the machine
and landed home safely. I found ten
bullet marks and two fragments of
shells in the machine"

Birdman Tells of Battle.

a letter from an officer of the Royal
Flying corps under date of Sep,, Z,
describing a view from an aeroplane of
the battle eastward of Paris, says
Yesterday | was up for reconnais-
sance over this huge battle. | bet it
will he remembered as the biggest in
history 1t extends from Compiegne
right away TO Belfort
I'VE flew at p. m. At that time
the British guns all opened fire to-
gether. From a height of 5000 feet
saw a sight which hope il will never
be my lot To see agaip. The woods
and hills were literally cut to ribbons
all along the south of Laon. 1t was
marvellous watching hundreds of
shells bursting below, one to the right
and to the left, for miles, and then to
see the German guns replying.
II fear there will be a lot more aw-
full fighting before this show ends, but
we are certain it will end with us on
top, although we all had our doubts
about three weeks ago, during that
awful retreat"
Writing again on Sept. 10, the Off
Ger says:
The huge battle is still going on.
Our machines. after being out all day.
still bring in the same news. The
Germans have got into one of the
strongest positions possible Fortu-
nately, reinforcements are arriving
and coming up on the German right at
scissors.
Il simply crave for cigarets. They
need to be carefully disguised, though,
or they will be stolen en- route"
The officer mentioned that the aero
planes are shot and shelled by friend
and foe every time they ascend. They
hardly ever descend without bullet
holes all over the planes, but, fortu-
nately, the writer says, the flying corps
had lost only one pilot and passenger
up to Sept. a.

THE WALRUS is RAPIDLY
MEETING WITH EXTINCTION.

That the walrus is rapidly nearing
extinction is the warning sounded by
the Daily Industrial News. OF Nome
Alaska. That paper describes the
slaughter caused by one crew in
single season. The catch amounted 10
1928. of which 420 were cows with
calves. Many were fatally wounded
or shot dead and not recovered. ~

The walrus is tempting bait to the
hunter because of the amount oil

the rich ivory in the tusks. The dis
appearance of the walrus means the

pend largely on this animal for tood

THE WASTE OF WAR.

There is no profit" in any war for
anybody.
Nou-combatants may gain a tenn
6orary advantage over belliserents.
But in the long run. waste is destruct-
i've. Waste never yet produced profit.
Dr. Charles Richet, statistician OF
the University OF Paris, figures the
daily cost Of this war at $54124,000 to
the countries involved.
r. Il. Gary. chairman Of the direc-
torate Of the United states Steel Cor
opratiun-one Of the shrewdest COM
mercial mathematicians on earth
puts Europe's daily war cost at s4o,-
011000
We have an idea that Richet is near
er right than Gary. Nevertheless, on
the basis of the Gary estimates, this
war-now sixty DAYS old-has cost the
beIIigerents involved practically two
and one-half billion dollars.
This takes no account Of indemnties
yet TO be paid. II takes no account OF
the economic value Of a human life It
is merely a dollars and cents inventory
IA sum measuring economic pecu-
MARY waste
II The present conflict lasts as long
as did the Franco Prussian war OF
lS70-71. the cost will be SIC, 200, ,o00,OOO,
according TO Gary arithmetic.
The United States Civil war Of 1851
G. lasted o,456 days, and probably cost
81. 600 600 OO0 If Europe fails 10 de-
eide its issues until a similar deadly
period shall have elapsed, the nations
would face a war bin of practically
SlO0. 600 600 600!
The most expensive war which his
tory records was that between Eng
land and France, which lasted S16S
days. and is said TO have cost approx
imatcly $4,000 100000. No such en-
quilting period of time can possibly
olapse before the present conflict re-
solves itself in peace ;but-to COM
pIcte the example-if it did, the war
bin upon bclliserents would crowd
$3.50, 600. 100000.
These figures are staggering. They
are So large that they defy human COM
prchcnsion. BY the same token, their
burden upon the human race is stag
gering and likewise dcfes human con-
Ception.
II there is a possibility Of permanent
financial profit to anybody on earth out
Of any such waste" inflicted upon
Europe, we are utterly deficient in our
economic fundamcnts.

another way, il means that the Amerl-
can people are spending yearly ABOUT
$40, 600, 900 to carry on their CORES
pondence by means of postal cards.
In the forty years that postal cards
have circulated throughout the United
States their number has increased
nearly thirty times-the record Tor
the first year of their introduction IN
the United States, in 1873. being about
81, ,OO0, 900. Each year witnessed
gradual increase in their popularity
until the demand grew too great for
the private print shops that formerly
printed the cards under contract. ana
the Public Printing Office at Washing
ton took over the task. Today two
great rotary presses, each capable Oh
printing, cutting and distributing the
postal cards into packages OF twenty
five, each package bound with a paper
band. are turning them out at the
maximum rate of 100000 every work
ing day OF eight hours. 1t is claimed
that the picture post card was born OF
the Franco German war, the first card
making its appearance in 1870 In the
town of Madgeburg, in Germany. In
the last decade the souvenir card has
become a world wide institution. An
accurate estimate Of their number has
not yet been made, although Germany
recently reported that in that country
alone more than 300, 100000 were pub
lished during one year.

Forty-five years ago today the

such open communication offered an
excellent opportunity for the writer OF
libel to exercise his nefarious work
Official opposition met with popular
clamor in other countries and various
were the methods to force governments

army officers in India, where he missed
the postal card he had become accus-
toned To In England, forced the IN
dian government to capitulate' Ihe
government had claimed there was no
popular demand for postal cards Inc
officer set out to demonstrate that
there was. He had postal cards bear
ing his own name and rank printed
and used them entirely for his own
correspondence, of course obeying the
postal regulations by afiixing stamps
equal to letter rate postage. He induced
his friends to follow HIS example. the
resulting flood of postal cards aroused
the government. The army officer was
ordered to discontinue his cards. lie
replied that if he chose to write mes
sages on a piece of cardboard instead
of on sheets of paper, the postofhce
authorities could not compel him to en-
close the card in an envelope. The le-
gal advisers of the government sus-
tained his claim, and India was forced
to adopt the postal card. reducing the
rate to a half of the letter postage.
