think without confusion, clearly"
Right thinking makes the world bet
ter, is a help to ones fellow men. De-
batting in high school is an excellent
training for boys and girls in acquir-
ing the ability to think without confu-
sion, clearly. a... '-.
The second part of the message, ITO
love your fellow man sincerely" is an
Interpretation Of Christ's message:
81 am my brothers keeper" The prin-
ciple of slavery was against this doc
trine. The men who own factories
and employ little children to do the
work at the expense Of their welfare
and development disregard this doc
trine. "Love" means justice and equal
opportunity for all. Jane Adams,
Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln have
been opponents of this very theory.
Equal opportunity will come when all
boys or girls are educated according
to the life they will lead when they
get out of school. Christ helped the
man or woman who needed it and the
duty Of the church today is the same.
Everyone has duties of citizenship. He
should live for his country, do some
thing to make the nation better and to
uphold humanity. The American re-
public will be dead when the love Of
humanity is out of the hearts Of men.
The third point, "To act from honest
motives purely" is exemplifed in men
like Bryan, Wilson, Ford and Roose-
welt. While they may not be right
they are sincere and true to their prin-
ciples and the world should respect
them for it. some should stick to
ones opinions like bulldog, and hang
on to the bloody end" Someone has
said that the world is made up of two
kinds of people, the individual and the
copy-cat. About 1920 are individuals,
but about 900 copy-cats. No position
is undignified or dishonorable if he
who holds it "acts from honest mo-
tives purely"
"To trust in God and heav'n secure
ly." The world is run by faith, re-
move it and nothing is left but an en-
pity blank. One must have faith in
oneself and in ones fellow man. The
person who says "I don't know" and
doubts in the faith of mankind may
soon say, 81 don't care" and that leads
to destruction.

New seaplane for the Navy.

The government is building at the
Washington navy yard large sea-
plane for the navy. All parts of this
new plane will be built and assembled
at the navy yard with the exception of
the motors.
The plane is nearing completion and
when finished will have taken about
three months to build Il is the first
of this particular type to be built en-
tirely at the Washington navy yard.
The new seaplane is biplane with a
60-foot span and Of 6,000pounds
weight. It will be provided with two
motors, and will be by far the largest
aircraft in the possession of the navy.
1t will probably be ready for final
test in another month.
All Of the navy aeroplanes are Of
the hydroaeroplane type. For landing
after fight and for rising into the
air fair-sized body of water is neces-
sary, as 1t is quite impossible for these
machines to rise or come back to
earth by means of land Consequent
ly pilots OF seaplanes have 1t in
stilled into them from days of early
training that they can fly only In
the vicinity of large territories which
embrace lakes, bays, seas, etc.

Have power in Their Tails:

There is curious family of insects
the Poduridae, or spring-tails pos
sessed of a sort of seventh leg or
spring piece, which is so placed under
the body as to give the creature pow
erful aid in jumping. Tests were
made with various members of this
family, and one tiny fellow, hardly
one-fiftieth of an inch long, made a
clear leap OF SIS times his length. He
had, of course, a great advantage in
the possession Of his spring-piece in
performing this amazing feat. But II
the toad and the kangaroo could do
as well as the spring-tail in proportion
to his size, the toad could hop dis
tance of 100 feet, and the kangaroo
more than quarter of q mile.

This morning was given up to close
order drill by the Second Florida on
the brigade drill grounds near camp,
wher the men again demonstrated
that they are past masters in the art
