flag was guarded jealousy in its sane 1
tuary at the Boyce home. The little
room where it was draped and cher
ished was a temple Of memory, Of
ardent devotion to lost ideal.
There began social rivalry with
Ball now on the part Of Captain
BOyce. He emulated the society life
of the Balls. They had a piano. He
Immediately purchased one, too.
Boyce had lost his left arm in the
war. Ball had lost his right arm.

learned to play tune on the piano"
"H'm!> Why, he's only got one
hand"
We'll, he's learned to play March

say he did it splendidly at the Grand
Army Hall last night"
"That so?" muttered the old war
veteran. Then I'm going to learn to
play Dixie with my left hand"
This he did. Whenever he passed
the Boyce homestead and caught the

ried home, opened wide the windows
and pounded out Dixie till the well
kin rang.
One day Edgar Ball came home
from a distant college. At a social
gathering Eunice Boyce met the
young man. Later he did her some
service in finding for her her pet can
airy that had escaped from it's cage.
They became more than friends in oc-
. casional meetings on the street and
later delightful desultOry ramblings
through the beautiful woods sur
rounding the little village.
Captain Boyce stormed angrily to
his wife when he learned of the at
tachment. He said nothing to his
daughter, however.
I'VE viii simply move to a new
town, +" he told his patient helpmeet.

mo, don't" insisted the captain
stubbornly. "That Ball hates me and
is probably demeaning me to the.
neighbors whenever he can"
A few days later the Boyces Whirled
away in an automobile to inspect
house in a neighboring town. No one
was left at home. Mr.. Ball was pass
ing the house that afternoon. He
shook his head sorrowfully. He had
heard of the Unjust attitude of man
he had never wronged and of his de-
termination to leave the village.
TITS too bad" he unused. 81 wish
he would give me a chance to find out
why he so detests me"
'F'ire% Suddenly rang out behind
him and man rushed by him and
dashed into the yard Of his enemy
The front, upper part of the struc-
ture was smoking. Suddenly one end
burst into flames. Edgar Ball came
UP at that moment.
Hurry for the fire department,
ordered his father, and he himself
hurried to the front door Of the i'm
periIed house, broke in the door and
rushed up the stairs.
He had heard all about the treas
ured flag of his neighbor and where
it was kept: A thought heroic had
come into his mind. He dashed into a
room where it was festooned on the
wall, almost overcome by smoke and
the flames.
Gently he removed it, carefully he
carried it to his own home and re-
turned to the fire to help in saving
the greater part of the building.
The Boyce family came home to
find a part of the house made habit
able through the kindly help of neigh
bors. They had just settled down for
the night, when there was a ring at
the doorben Captain Boyce went
thither to face the enemy.

The Electric High School.

The first known case of a large build
ing to be heated entirely by electricity
has just been furnished by the little city
of Ruprt Idaho. in the center of the
federal Mindoka irrigation project,
where the new high school has been so
equipped.
This achievement was reported to the
United States bureau of education.
which found that the system is remarkable
for its simplicity. The usual arrangement
of hot air pipes, f1ues, etc. was follow
ed but instead of furnaces or steam
coils for heating, a battery of electric
heat units not unlike those used in
electric baking ovens, does the work
with great success. Twenty eighteen
kilowatt units We're installed in pairs,
each pair with a separate control of the
current from a switchboard in the
principals office. enabling him to reg
ulate the use of current. An emer-
gency switch is at hand to switch off all
the current in the building.
Thus, electricity supplies all possible
needs 1t not only heats and lights the
Rupert High School, but it provides
power from a ten-horsepower motor in
the manual training department. Each
girl in the cooking class has her individ-
ual electric disk stove and all neces-
sary utensile. Even an auditorium with
all modern electrical equipment for
proper stage effects has been provided.
This system was installed for $1,000
less than for any other heating appara-
tus. The annual cost of operation VIII
be about 81 ,760. whereas coal would have
cost $1,000, plus 1915 for the hire of a
fireman for nine months OF the school

sofa in those early days. Mr.. Messer's
home was in fact on the frontier. When
he was but a lad he journeyed to St.
Louis in hope Of getting instruction, but
when he arrived there the one resident
artist had gotten discouraged and gone.
Illinois then became the home of his
father, and when Mr.. Messer was nine
teen years old the war broke out and he
enlisted. He had not the stamina for
service. however, and before a great
while his health gave out and he was
sent home to die. Instead of dying, how
ever he rested and idled. and. developing
good voice, sang himself back to
health and ambitions.
Then he came to Washington and for
two months got some private instruction
from d German artist resident here.
With this little kit of learning he went
. to New York and entered the National
Academy of Design, when the academy
was, as he put it, ''roosting'' in the third
story of an old building way down town.
There he worked three nights week
from the antique. But this was not
enough. The Cooper Union gave oppor-
tunity for three more nights week,
and by serving as janitor he got free
instruction in d day class conducted by
one of his night class instructors. Spare

Acacias to Reclaim the Desert.

The acacia tree, renowned in an an
cient system of ethics that f1ourishes
even unto this day, friend of man for
centuries in the Holy Land and Arabia,
source of tannin. cutch, flowers and
high-grade furniture, also may serve to
reclaim the desert wastes and sandy
beaches OF California, the southwest
generally and the gulf coast. according
to the firm belief of federal forestry eX-
perts.
Some species of acacia thrive on only
three inches Of rainfall in d year, as has
been conclusively demonstrated in Cali
fornia and Arizona. Take the California
seacoast, for instance, acacias arc
found on the very edge of the beach.
bearing up against fierce winds and
dense salt fogs. The splendid acacias of
Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, trans
formed that area from a waste of drift
ing sand into one of the famous gardens
Of the world.
Acacias are found in 45O varieties. OF
these 800 are Australian and the others
grow in all parts of the world, especially
in Asia, Africa and our warm weather
states. They vary from a small shrub
to giants 100 feet high and four feet
thick. AS rule the acacia does not
grow large, even when inclined to do SO,
because its products are being constant

Mr. Holmes has made a special study

scription of water than in the interpreta-
ton of the sky. He has studied the wave
forms and renders them most skillfully.
His eye is quick and accurate. so he sees

the utmost correctness. The pictures he

Bad Air on the L

From the Chicago Journal
The witty weekly known as Life once
defined a Pullman car as "a device for
transporting bad air from one city TO an
other" BY the same token the II.
trains of Chicago might BE- defined as
contrivances for carrying disease germs
from one person to another. Every night
and morning. at rush hours, every IL.
train is jamned to the guards. Inside
each car is a densely packed mob OF hn-
nanity crushed together in a contact
compared to which the tango hug is dis
tant poIiteness. One might faint in such
a crowd without falling-there is no room
TO fall There is no ventilation-you can
not yentilate a can of sardines.
There is nothing but foul air, indecent
crowding, extreme discomfort, and-the
finest chance in the world to catch any
contagious disease that happens to be
around. II one person in that densely
packed mob is the bearer of infection.
every one in the car is in danger. The
SCOT and soft coal smoke of Chicago
have been blamed for the city's high
pneumonia rate. Are not urventilated
IL trains at least equally guilty? In
vestigation by competent physicians has
proved that air in these trains is swarm
ing with disease germs, and common ex-
perience can testify that IL" passengers
are more than normally weary and de-
pressed and open to contagion.
