FOUND RING LOST FOR YEARS


Several days ago Frank Moore,
one Of the "miners" who pam the
sands beneath the boardwalk in
search of articles lost through the
cracks, found a gold Masonic ring,
inset with diamonds. Inside was
the name, &C. A. Willis
Moore inquired among Masons
here without finding anybody by that
name, but tracers were sent to
lodges elsewhere. He was notified
that G. A. Willis had formerly
been connected with the Altoona
(Pa.) Masons, but had gone south.
At Columbus, N. c., Moore located
Willis by letter.
Moore merely asked Willis il he
had lost anything. Willis replied
that he hadn't been here for years,
and the only thing he ever lost here
was a Masonic ring while he was
bathing off Tennessee avenue six
teen years ago.
Since 1899 the ring had shifted
along in the sands for an entire
square without being discovered

sKYRocKETs TO FIGHT BIRDS
State zooIoeist Also Recommends Use
Of Roman Candles to Drive Away
Feathered Pests.

Prof. A. H. Surface, Pennsylva-
MIA state zoologist, has a new way to
drive roosting blackbirds from shade
trees. Someone in Erie wrote to the
professor complaining that the mi
grating birds were causing all kinds
of trouble on one Of the residential
streets of the city. The professor,
who invents cures for pests almost
every day in the year, was right
there with remedy. Shoot 'em, he
says, with roman candles and sky
rockets.
Although Professor Surface does
not guarantee it, it is certain that a
blackbird hit by skyrocket won't
be back in your locality. The prin-
cipal benefit from this method, how
ever, according to the professor, is
that the fireworks will brighten away
the birds.
Some enterprising community
might make celebration out of it
by adding a band concert and a po-
litieal speech or two during the fire.
works. The political speeches may
aid in driving away the birds.

TEACH WORSHIP OF HEROES
Books for the Young. Dealing Win
the Present War, Are Used
In French Schools.

Leslie Scott sends us a specimen
of the new war 5eries Of the penny
French "booklets" known as THE
Rose Books for the Young" and in
forms us that the French govern
ment is distributing these wholesale
to the schools Of France, the London
Times states. The series is well
adapted to its purpose of bringing
home to the next generation the
greatness Of their heritage, now be-
ing sealed in their fathers blood.
The style is simple and direct, and
the illustrations, while vigorous, are
free from offense. Such literature
plays an obviously important part in
the organization of sound national
spirit, which is one of the first duties
of government.
Mr.. Scott asks whether anything
is being done on similar lines in
Great Britain. We are not aware
that the board of education is dis
tributing any corresponding litera-
ture to the schools in this country;
the selection Of books, like other
matters of administration, is by our
system Of decentralization in the
hands Of local education committees.
