COMING TO HIS OWN.

Possibly the greatest human quality
is c-reativeness. 1t is an echo of the
most characteristic divine quality. Ma
poleon l was essentially a creator. He
breathed Into France the breath OF a
life not before there; he took disor-
ganized masses n made OF them in
y1nctble armies. He clipped territories
from countries nj made of them king
doms; beyond all, he made men. A
hero Is often crisis-born: Napoleon
made the crises and shaped heroes to
fit them. Again and again he drew out
from the mass OF common clay q lump
In which his master glance saw the
leaven OF possibility; he breathed his
own conquering, liInitless spirit into 1t,
and In a turn the automatom was a
great general, ready to do his work,
bound to him for life by a chain of de-
votion u~nbreakable, unreasoning, self
sufficient, q mystery OF that astound-
Ing personality. y
He made great men and then In his
lordly way he set them In frames which
suited his faStidtous sense OF fitness.
Out of old Frances domains he helped
himself to lands and castles n gave
them with a free hand to his marshais
and his generals.
Six years ago before Waterloo, he
had given the new chateau of Vicaues
and its lands to General the Baron
5Gaspard Gourgaud, whom he had be-
fore then fashioned into a very good
pattern of a soldier out of material left
over from the old aristocracy. vicques
was a village when "all Gaul was di-
.vided into three provinces" of Rome:
a village much h same in 1920. It lay
In the Valley Delesmontes-"of the

1t is true that nature and a woman's

for woman's ills that the world has

q remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more ~efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com

Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard

Of the kindergarten division Of the

: BEFORE AND AFTER. !

From the Pittsburgh Leade


From the Pittsburgh Leader.
It is s~addening to think that If only
a little of the experiences available in
getting into mines wrecked by explo-
sions and fire were turned into the
preventive channel the rescues would
not be needed. Nowhere is the ounce
of prevention SO valuable as in a coal
mine.
Disaster does not come upon coal
mines without warning, or from un-
known causes. The causes of explc-
sions are as definite as anything can
be. II there were any mystery about
IT the condemnation would be less Sc
we're.
But every coal miner, and every
operator. and every man connected
with the federal rescue work, knows
exactly what causes explosions, and
why explosions happen, and in most
cases they know when to expect them
All thai is necessary is to take prop
err care. 1t is a little more expensive
to yentilate a mine than a dwelling.
but me LIS just as essential to the lives
OF the occupants as the other. And
when the ventilation is neglected the
results also are more costly than In
the ordinary dwelling.
The yapor of gasoline fs more dan
geroue than the gases and coal dust In
coal mines, and yet considering the
OF explosions is insignificant compared
to the explosions in Goa mines. and re-
suits are less terrible.
And what Is just az sad when we
contemplate the loss OF life In coal
mi mes is that a mine may be ventiIa-
ted Ink kept safe as easily as q house.
The one difference is In the cost. II 1t
cost as little to ventilate a mine as q
house there would be no explosions In
t3incs.
What we need is more prevention
and less picturesque rescue work. 1t
is thrilling to read OF the rescuers with
their equipment going into wrecked
mines and bringing out dead bodies.
but 1t would be moro human to know

also made provision that when once
charged with water the supply will last
considerable time and not dry out by
evaporation.
1t consists of a noisture-proof box
with a hinged lid, the latter having a
spring, the action of which is to hold
the lid open. Under the lid is one
moistening pad, which comes in con-
tact with the envelope flap and this
is maintained at the proper degree of
moisture by automatically coming in
contact with an auxiliary moistener.
The envelope is placed on the lid with
the flap overhanging, and as the lid Is
pressed down the water Is applied. As
the envelope is removed the parts are
pressed together and the sealing
effected. The moisture-proof qualities
of the box prevent the evaporation of
the water. which, when not in use It
is simply closed.

LAST TURNPIKE SOON TO GO
institution Has Served Its Purpose,
and VIII Shortly Be a Thing of
the Past In New England.

New Englands last turnpike road is
TO be abolished. To be accurate. the
road will remain. but the tollgates,
which are the modern equivalent of
the ancient turnpikes, will no longer
fret the travelling public. This rem
nant of an earlier system is the six
miles Of stone-faced highway In the
towns of Peru and Winhall, Vt. known
and dreaded as the Peru turnpike.
Local protests did not avail to bring
about the freeing of the turnpike, but
when this highway the only available
pass through the Green mountains in
bennington county, became a part of
the route used by touring AUTOMOBILE
lists, the tollgates had to go
An American traveller near the close
OF the eighteenth century noted that
the only turnpike road in the United
States at that time was the highway
of &c miles beween Philadelphia and
the little Pennsylvania Dutch town
of Lancaster. He found 1t a perfect
specimen of its kind, though when
first built 1t was really very crude
turnpike. The company that built this
highway was chartered in 1872, and
while the road has long been free
OF tolls, Philadelphians still call 1t the
Lancaster pike. The company that
built this highway was chartered In
1892. Next year there was bitter
agitation against 1t, and farmers in
the suburbs of Philadelphia were
alarmed lest with improved communi
cation more distant farmers would
compete disastrously with them In the
semi-weekly markets of the city The
roaS, however, speedily became popu
lar. and its history for so years is in
terwoven with that of southeastern
Pennsylvania. The huge Conestoga
wagons Of a century ago traversed its

mule teams that travelled to the mel

nights when the stables were crowded
