A Prehistoric Teddy

until recently, when
workmen digging the
foundation for a public
building in the city of
Mexico unearthed this
wonderful bit of ancient
carving.
The Aztecs of old
were a very efficient
and strenuous people,
and probably really did
have a Teddy of their
own. Anyway, here he
is, carved in stone.
The thick-set figure,
the size and shape of
the head, the strong
teeth, the mouth and
general facial express
sion, could surely be no
more true to life than
if they h ad been
m olded from our
Teddy himself.

FlOtatiOn Yet In Infancy

Possible mean of developing the
flotation process to the greater bene-
fit of the country's mining interests
we're taken up ip the sessions of the
American Mining Institute of Engin-
GERS, meeting at Globe. Arizona.
Conclusions reached by the dele
gates, who include representatives of
20 of the leading metal producing
companies of the country, were to
the effect that the flotation process
is now in its infancy and that with
the further discovery of new f1otative
agents and generous expenditures a
brilliant future record could be OBJ
tanned for this process.
The fotation discussions we're par
ticularly important to mining inter-
ests because of the first public pre-
sentation of a report of experiments
on several miscellaneous wood oils
which seem adaptable to use in the
f1otation process.

Compulsory Service
In American Army

Washington, Sept. %. The first
rewards of SIS for regular army re-
cruits under the new National De-
Tense Act, the War Department an
nounces, were paid Postmaster o.
Donnely, of Utica. Okla, and Post
master Sitman. of Greensburg, La.
Officials frankly described the new
recruiting system as the last gasp
in volunteer enlistments." They
pointed out that the Government has
made a supreme effort to obtain its
soldiers without resorting to COM
pulsory training. They predict,
should the plan fail, it will become
necessary to adopt some system of
compulsory service to obtain the
needed recruits for the enlarged
army.

Life-the Struggle.

Virtues not in mere existence
And stunning things that make hft
dear.
Virtue Is in rightfui using
OF the gifts bestowed US here.
Life 10 not in idle pining
Or passive drifting into Joy:
Life IL battling with the torrent
Which unstemmed can but destroy.
Virtues not where life anaemic
Never knew temptations lure:
Virtue lies In overthrowing
Base desire and thought impure.
Life Ia not in vapid dreaming
OF some distant agu ideal:
Life Is labor and a
Hourly conflict with the real.
Virtues not in watching struggles
High n dry on som safe shore.
Enter In life's heated contest.
There you're needed more and more.
Life Is not In following footprints
Or keeping wheels In some set groove
Make your own tracks: strike out boldly
Life is progress-forward move!
