The Right Place

The ideal place to live would be
A farm with meadows stretching wide
And right next door a grocery
And bakry on the other side;
A theater across the way,
With all the latest comedies,
And next to that a grand stand, say,
Where one could watch ten inning ties;
The cowbeIls ringing in the lanes,
While taXicabs and cars go by;
A station near with frequent trains;
Neat restaurants and open sky;
An apple tree meath which TO sit
And view the traffic in the street,
And movies on a screen 10 fit
While breeEes blew from off the wheat.
A brook TO crOCn, a band TO snort;
The city sights, q country view;
rural urban home, in short
I think place like that would do.

speakers with the bell party, explained
why the women of the State want the
ballot
We're with you, Miss" said a
brawny miner. "All you folks want is
square deal and you can gamble
that we'll give it to you. You're all
right"
But it is not the miners alone who
are pledging a square deal" to the
women. Farmers, Shopmen, Sta1d
Judges, business men, policemen, poll
ticians, mayors, burgesses-all have
come to see what the bell stands for
and are rallying to its support.
The attitude of most of these men
was splendidly summarized by Judge
C. B. Staples, when, in welcoming the
Liberty Bell party at Stroudsburg, he
said:
Il was appointed to welcome the
bell, but l am here to welcome the
supporters of what the bell stands
for. The bell stands for cause that
has set the world aeog. This is the
same casse that our revolutionary
fathers stood for and the women in
that time were just as loyal as the
men, even as our women of today
are. They want a voice in the gov
ernment under which they liVe-a
voice in the making of the laws
which they must obey. 1t is their
right and they should have it,"
A good idea of the size of the aver
age crowd that attend the bell meet
ings may be cleaned from a glance at
the pictures which accompany this
story The night meetings are fre'
quently attended by thousands. In
Williamsport, the crowd at the night
meeting was estimated at 10000.

SmokeIess Powder.

Some smckeless powders decompose
after awhile, and as a result of such
deterioration they are likely to ex-
plode spontaneously. The destruction
of the French warship Liberte. which
blew up in 1911. is thought to have
been caused by such an accident. AS
precaution against such tragic hap
penings all the powder of that kind
used by our own navy is put through
a process of remanufacture every five
years, and there is a regular fortnight

every battleship and cruiser. When

acrid fumes, which should give ample

morning editions had not yet received
word that there was any loss OF life,
and in the belief that the ship had

Stories CT Time Told by Fossilized
Plants and Animals.
Scientists hesitate 10 estimate geo
logical time in terms of years Such
estimates have, however. been made
and one published by Professor Charles
Scnuuneyt i'll lJlU states that about
100000 years have elapsed since the
close of the carboniferous age, an age,
as the name suggests. i'll which great
deposits of carbon, in coal. were being
formed in many parts of the world
This age has been divided by geolo
gists into the MisSissippian. PennSyl-
vanian and Permian epochs, of which
the MissisSippian is the oldest and the
Permian the youngest. The Pennsyf
vanian epoch alone is estimated by
Schuchert to have covered 100000
years. and animal life is supposed TO
have existed on the earth for over a.
100000 years before that time.
Geologic periods are recognized pri
marily by the animals and plants that
lived in them. so that the study or
fossils plays very real and important
part in the progress of geologic knowl
edge.
Rocks of carboniferous age, as shown
by their fossils. have a wide distribu-
ton in the United States. and they
are apt to abound in these remains of
plant and animal life. The fossil shells
which are found in them. however.
may vary greatly from point TO point,
because the animals they represent
lived in different periods of geologic
time or in different regions in the car
