however poor my junk, it repre-
sents my best. If you. at close
OF dav. when sounds the quitting
bell. that truthiully can say, you're
doing pretty we'll Some beat you
galley west. and bear away the
prize, but you have done your
best-in that the honor lies.
And, having done your best,
Your conscience doesn't hurt:
serene YOU go to rest IN your
long muslin shirt. And at the
close OF life. when YOU have said
goodbye to cousin, aunt and wife.
and all the children nigh, you'll
face the river cold that flows to
islands blest with courage high
and bold ii YOU have done your
best. No craven fears You II
know. no terrors fierce and sharp.
but like a prince you'll go, to draw
your crown and harp. So. then.
whate'e 'er the field in which YOU do
your stunt. whatever tool you
WELD to earn Your share OF blunt.
toll on with eager zest, nor falter
in that plan: the one who does his
best is Gods blue ribbon man.

.HARBQR OF ANCONA Of
COSTLY ENGINEERING
Italian Seaport Object Of Austrians'
First Raid Has Modern Forts.
Founded by Greeks.

Ancona. the seaport bombarded by
the Austrians during their first raid
upon the Italian coast, forms the sub
tect of today's National Geographic
Society's war primer, which reads:
After Venice, the most importan
city along the Italian coast of the
Adriatic sea is Ancona, which was
visited by the Austrian fleet immedi-
ately following 1taly's declaration of
war 1t is also a port capable of
strong defense, it's forts being
thoroughly modern and we'll placed on
the semi-circular heights that sur
round the city. Its harbor, the finest
on the southwestern coast of the Adri-
attic. and one of the best possessed by
Italy has been the object of costly
engineering improvement from the
days of Grecian settlement down to
the present day. The harbor basin is an
oval about half mile in diameter.
Formidable Harbor Defenses.
Venice lies 13s miles away to the
northwestward, by direct water route,
while Rome lies 1872 miles to the south
west. The town is contained between
two extremities of rocky promon-
tory, Monte Astagno to the south and
Monte Guasco to the north. On these
heights are formidable harbor defenses
The city. itself. is the headquarters for
the Italian 7th Army Corps. Railways
connect the port with Brindisi and all
the seaside cities to the south. 1t also
has rail connection on trunk lines with
Rome and with Bologna"
While the number of vessels annually
visiting the harbor has materially de-
creased, the tonnage has increased
somewhat. Statistics for recent year
show that Ancona was port of call
for 1,400 vessels, with total tonnage
of 961,612.
One of Italy's Ancient Cities.
During the eighties of the last CEN
tury between 1000 and $500 ships
visited this port each year.
"Ancona is one of Italy's ancient
cities, and, despite its commercial
prosperity, it makes it's antiquity pain
fully evident by an unkempt over
worn appearance, Its streets being
dirty and its houses for the most part
dingy. Refugees from Syracuse found
ed the city about 800 B. c., and gave
to it the name by which 1t Is known to-
day. Greek merchants early establish
ed purple factory here and started
the place upon it's centuries of brisk
trading intercourse. The city was sa-
cred to Venus during Roman times,
and, so, today, had the old gods not
been driven into exile, might well ex-
pect to be spared by Mars, god of war,
and husband of the love goddess"

THOSE WHO STEAL AWAY
TO AVOID PAYMENTS DUE
Instances Where Registered"
Guests Lived Cheaply at Hotels
for Brief Periods.

The mere fact that q man registers
at frst-class hotel. occupies a good
room, gives discriminatory expensive
orders in the cafe and poses import
antly in the lobby is no Indication
that he Is able to pay his bill. For in
stance:
Away back in 1913 somebody put up
at the Raleigh Hotel long enough to
run up a bill of s293. Then he strolled
out of the hotel without calling on the
cashier, and never strolled back. When
the hotel people took an inventory Of
the assets left behind by the dear
very dear-departed, they found the
following, contained in a considerably
battered suitcase: One pair gloves. more
OF less worn: twelve collars. one book,
one gray suit, three shirts. soiled; four
suits of underwear. ready for the laun-
dry; one hairbrush, five undershrts,
six handkerchiefs, one pair of socks.
Can anybody see s293 worth in that
layout?
Other "Forgetful" Guests.
Latin American patriots run short of
funds sometimes, the same as ordi-
nary citizens. Probably that is why
one phtTloI, WHO pore the IlIlltdTy IlllS

Arabs and silently stole away. leaving
a wardrobe trunk that contained, be-
sides several suits Of clothes, a tuxedo
outfit, nineteen shirts and twenty five
suits of underwear. The charge
against the trunk and contents was a
little more than 5000.
total of sixty-nine pieces. including
suitcases, alligator bags, old fashioned
canvas telescopes. trunks of all shapes,
sizes and conditions. left at the Ra-
leigh Hotel in the last two years by
guests whose remtttances failed to ar
rive were auctioned of to the highest
bidders at Weschler's auction rooms
today. The bills charged against the
articles ranged all the way from the
high Of $293 to as little as $S. and the
contents Of the pieces included every
thing from raincoats to a woman's
workbag. The lot even contained two
long pieces of material from which
overalls are made and a bottlG Of
spring water.
