BAND CONCERT WELL RECEIVED

In spite of the blizzardly weather
Sunday evening and the slippery walks
over 400 people were out to hear the
Second Regiment Band at their 18th
annual concert at Turner Hall. This
again emphasizes the fact that our
band boys have lots of friends who
like to hear them play and will brave
all kinds of weather to be able to do
so. "

The Congressional Library.

The vastness of the congressional
library is shown by a recent report to
congress in which it is shown that the
library contains 2,125,255 books, 1876 1928
maps and charts, 63O,799 volumes and
pieces of music and $50, $40 prints. The
books added in the previous year
amounted to 136,720 and an extension
of the library is asked for with racks
for 100000 more books. The library
has an average of 2,454 visitors and
readers during each day of the year
and yet the place seems never crowd
ed at any one time. Since the location
of the Union station on it's present site
many travellers with an hour to spare
between trains avail themselves of
the opportunity to visit this beautiful
building, while it is the favorite haunt
for those who are students of music,
literature or art and love to pore over
its priceless treasures. - Harper's
Weekly.

Daigs, Lesghians, Kazy-Kumyksh,
Tush, Ingush, Greeks and others of the
Occident. Caucasia, indeed, may be
said to be a place prominently de-
voted to language-all kinds and com
plexions of speech being native there
in bewildering richness.
Between Black and Caspian Sea.
Caucasia is the broad, stocky 18TH
mus which, extending from the south
east corner of Europe to Asia, divides
the Black and Caspian seas. It's area
is about 100000 square miles, or more
than four times larger than the state
of Ohio. 1t has good ports upon both
the Black and Caspian seas, Batum
on the one, and Baku on the other.
The famous Apsheron peninsula is one
of the richest of the worlds oil fields,
and, in general the Caucasus is the
mineral treasury of all the Russias.
The grain, grazing and fruit lands of
this government are very bountiful
and could be turned into the richest
of garden and farming spots with a
iiNtiC hlOuSlh ware. tOdi Is pIOuuC6u.
Among the ores now mostly developed
for commerce are copper, manganese,
mercury, sulphur, iron, cobalt and
salt.
Europe's barrier against southeast
ern Asia, the Caucasus range
stretches across the middle lands of
Caucasia, dividing the government in
to Ciscaucasia and Transcaucasia. In
the mountainous central region is to be
found some of the most beautiful
scenery in the world.
The population of Caucasia is most.
ly agricultural in its pursuits 1t is
backward and for the most part, be
yond an abundance of grains and
fruits, has no other desires. Natural
ly, therefore, the industries of modern
life have only made negligible begin,
nings.

made precious presents to this temple,
until its vaults are bursting with pent-
up treasure. The city has no indus
try, no COMMUNICATING that is
apart from it's religious purpose. 1t
supports itself upon the money of the
pilgrims, lodges them, feeds them,
robs them, sells them prayer bricks
made from the graveyard clay, and
even marries them for the period of
their visit to perennial brides, brides
kept in stock, who legally have many
husbands in their lives.

Something About Caucasla.
Concerning Caucasia, where the
Turks and the Russian are renewing
that long ago conflict that has existed
between the Turk and the Muscovite,
the National Geographic society is
sued the following statement:
Caucasia is a potpourri of races,
tongues and religions. Nowhere else
in the world can one find on a similar
area SO many types of peoples, so
many languages and dialects, so many
religions and sects thereof. The eau
casus mountains, for the most part,
stretch above fruitful land, and every
folk-stream which flowed their way
has left eddies within their closed,
world-isolated valleys.
The cosmopolitanism of New York
is provincial compared with the mag
nificent, regardless confusion of eau
casian peoples. There are some seven
ty dialects strange to the West spoken
within it's boundaries, while business,
touring, engineering and other tech
niques bring most of the other Ian
guages in. In this modern Babel dwell
.Georgians, Imeritians, Chevsurs,
Lazes, Mingrelians, Pshavs, Swanit-
tians, Abkhasians, Circassians, Kebar-
dians, Ossetes, Avars, Chechinzes,
Jews, Russians of several varieties,

Magnificently, as though it were a test
spring for field prize, he rose to meet
the coming monster of speed.
Ross just cleared the edge of the
machine. He landed in the seat, one
arm striking the brass casing of the
wind shield and numbing it. Then,
quick as light he shot the reverse but
ton, with shuddering glance at the
yawning pit, now not twenty feet
away, and the gasping words.
Just in timel"
1t was truly so, yet with superb cool
ness of nerve he swung the machine
back, fronting the advancing girl,
spoke reassuring word to the now
huddled and sobbing child, sprang to
the ground and awaited the approach
of the young lady.
She came towards him pale, totter-
ing, on the verge of swooning, an ad-
vancing vision of grace and beauty.
His eyes Toasted upon all her girlish
daintiness of dress and innocence of
face, the pitiful appeal OF frightened
eyes and quivering lips. Then, as she
swayed in utter collapse. Ross glided
swiftly to her side and caught her
pliable form in his strong arms, just
in time to save her from sinking to
the ground
She was helpless, held sheltering
against his broad breast, the contact
thrilling him, the world and all else
it contained to him worthless bauble,
could he but sweep with his own those
full tempting lips. Only for an instant,
however, the eyes closed. She reused
to still cling to him, but braced to
battle her agitation, that she might
breathe out her gratitude incoherently
and Fastening to the machine to seize
the rescued one, her sister, Ross sur
missed, she pressed her to her bosom
in outspoken gladness.
She had carried a little hand bag,
and this had fallen open to the ground
when she had swooned momentarily.
AS Ross picked ii up to restore it to
her, he noted her calling cards, and
the name upon them: Nellie Moore
He restored the hand bag to her and
lifted his hat. She swept his hand
some face with a searching look, as
though glad to believe that true noble
ness of soul lay behind that coura-
geous nature. Again and again she
thanked him, was sure she was able go
operate the machine, and made ready
to drive away.
No, no, come here!" cried out the
peremptory little miss whose life had
been saved, and she beckoned eager
ly TO Ross.
What is it, little one?" he smiled.
For reply the eyes of the child grew
earnest and humid. She did not
speak, but reaching out she placed a
soft chubby hand on either cheek.

city's walls, where millions upon mill
lions of past Shias have turned the
sands to clay. This enormous grave
yard about the city is not the least
part of its weird fascination. The des-
ert trail to the sacred city is empty,
barren and dead. 1t is am unattrac-
tive trail whose silence is broken only
by fanatic pilgrims and by caravans
transporting eorpses TO the Shia Nee
ca of the dead.
Nedjef is a great city. Not a green
thing-a plant, shrub, or tree-lives
within its dry, hot limits. 1t is built
on high plain of soft sandstone. The
narrow, crooked streets, in many
places mere passages three or four feet
wide, wind like jungle paths, One of
the strange features of this strange
city is its cellars. In summer the
fierce heat drives the painting people
deep down into the earth, like rats in
hole. Beneath every house is a eel
lar, burrowed mine-like to amazing
depths; one | explored reached an as
toundingly low level, being more than
one hundred feet below the street.
Cellars as Refugees From Heat.
Into these damp, dark holes the
Shias flee when the scorching desert
air sizzles above and imported Ger
man thermometers stand at 100 de-
grees F. Some of the cellars are ar.
ranged in. a tier of cells or rooms,
one below the other; the upper room
is used in the first hot months, the
family going lower down as the heat
increases. Many of these cellars are
connected by underground corridors,
and the criminals. who swarm in Ned
JEFF, easily elude capture by passing
through these tunnels from house to
house.
The mosque is covered with great
gold tiles which run to its very base.

log runner or shoe in the center, an
auxiliary runner, which is adjustable.
and which may be raised out of the
way when coasting down grade. The
smaller runner is dropped only when
the speed declines to the point that
the sled refuses to maintain it's up
right position by reason of its momen-
tum. The new sled will carry one or
two persons. The operator stands on
the runner and has a convenient ham
die to hold and to aid him in guiding
the machine, which is done largely by
swaying the body from one side to the
other. The new style of shedding prom
ises to be very exhilarating.

ADVISED TO TURN HER BACK
Great Detective Was Not Long In
Finding Reason for Clock Stop
ping While Woman Faced 1t.

The great detective put down the
iced tea hypodermic needle and looked
closely at his visitor.
With one lightning glance, he no.
ticed that she was cross-eyed on both
sides, especially the right; pugnosed,
hare-lipped, freckled, and that her
chin was so receding as to look almost
ashamed of it's presence there at all.

Absolutely in spite of it," she re-
piled. when l take it to the jewel

because l don't wind it, for it's right
after l wind it that it generally stops

''Well-ah-" began the great detec.

same time increasing his legs so as
not to give himself the double cross.

the clock when you wind it?''

DANGERS OF DOING NOTHING
Every Boy Should Practice SeIf-Criti-
cism-IdIeness Is One Of Hab-
it's Disclosed.

The harm of doing nothing is sell
backward. Or. If 1t means floating
along to somewhere. it also means
getting soaked and heavy and finally
sinking out of sight. Every boy should
adopt Secretary Redfleld's advice to
business men-to practice self-criti-
cism; to find out If anything is the
matter, and then correct it, says Ohio
State Journal.
We suspect If every boy and girl
would undergo little determination
they would find idleness was one of
their habits. And they are apt also to
think it is an innocent habit; but it is
not; it is dangerous habit. Remem-
Der the old saying that the devil al
ways finds something for idle hands to
do, and that something is evil always.
Now, work is not always struggle
with ones hands. 1t does not always
make one perspire and get short of
breath. If person thinks of things
that are true, If he builds up noble
ideals, If he plans enterprises of good
will, if he makes use of his spirit in
forming fine resolptions-this is not
idling. ~ 20 VIZ
The test for idieness is very easy.
When one wastes his time he is idle;
when he does not utilize thought and
deed to make his life better he is
idling. Teaching a boy to value his
time is the best lesson that can be
given him.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
THE HIGH JUMPER
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

A vivid scream rang out upon the
still afternoon air, just as Ross Evans
turned from a side street into a blind
thoroughfare which lost itself among
the rock heaps of the canal. His was
a quick eye, and within the space Of
a second it's glance took in details of
excitement and peril that thrilled him.
What he saw was young girl dash
ing frantically down the middle of tn
road, square distant. In advance q
her, coming full bent It Top speed
was an automobile, and clinging TO its
seat was a golden haired little child
of about seven years. Her face va
devoid of color her lips parted in
horror, her eyes distended. Young as
she was, the little one seemed to fully
realize her frightful peril In flash
Ross fancied he comprehended the
merits of the situation. The child
had probably accidentally started up
the machine while alone in its charge,
was ignorant as to handling the mech
anism and was powerless to stay its
mad flight.
Save heri save her!" shrieked the
young lady in wild pursuit of the run
away machine Even at the distance
Ross was away from her the agonized
accents rang out clearly.
Ross Evans, once high jump cham
pion of a noted athletic organization,
nerved himself nightly, at the inspira-
ton of old time campus ardor and the
call of humanity. Death and destruc-
ton lowered. The fated machine was
headed for an end to its career less
than thirty seconds ahead There was
one way only to hope to stay its
course, way full of danger and sac
rifice. He took it.
Calculating to the closeness of a
single watch tick, he braced for run.

German Army's Wireless.

Wireless telegraphy plays an impor-
tant part in the German army. The
thoroughness with which the Germans
have adapted the wireless to military
use is but another example of their
marvellous military efficiency. Portable
wireless telegraph outfits have been
developed that are far more compact
than those in use in other armies of
the world. The German field set is
carried in either light automobile or
on motorcycle side car. These short
range outfits will send and receive
over an average distance of thirty-five
miles.-American Boy.
