Beating the Shifting Sands.

Confronted by the task of building a
highway over a desert of constantly
shifting sands, which in few years
might cover and render useless a road
bed of macadam or concrete, the Cali
fornia highway commission has intro
duced q type of paving which is port
able, so that 1t can be easily moved to
conform to the changing topography of
the country. Popular Mechanics Maya
zine describes the paving as made of
plank, built In sections II feet long
and feet wide, and hauled by wagons
to the points where 1t is needed. This
unused thoroughfare extends six miles
across portion Of the desert
lying between Yuma, Ariz., ana
Holtville, Cal. The plank sections
are built on by 6-inch stringers. The
units are bound together by iron
strips placed over rows of spikes, one
either side and one along the center
of the road. Roundheaded bolts run
ming through the planks ana stringers
are used to hold the strips down. The
latter, in addition to Joining the units
together. keep the spikes from working
out of the lumber.

Thanksgiving Day a Window.

Hannah More says of praise that it
g the only employment in which self
hos no part. Surely on one day In the
Jear, If no more, the Lord of harvest
and the nations God should be re-
membered. Like the chapel in hos
pice on Mount Sinai, in which is one
window so located that the sun shines
through 1t only on a single day in ev-
cry year, so on Thanksgiving day, at
least, light enough should ray into ev-
cry soul TO show how good God is.
And this should awaken praise, as the
kiss of sunbeam is said to have smit-
ten into music the chords of a Tyre
In the temple of Memnon. Never
was od-better to us than now. 1t
Is a good time to be alive. A brim-
ming cup Is ours. Whether we think
OF our territorial possessions, Of our
material prosperity, or of our civil and
religious blessings, the national thanks
giving ought to be volcanic-a very
Vesuvius for its fire and q very
Niagara for Its flow.

ConvaIescence.

The return from Illness to health is
like coming UP from dive, suppos'ng
the time from when the swimmer f,rst
sees light through the water until mis-
head rises to the surface TO be 'he
affair of weeks. The change in phys
ical condition may be slow, but the
change in orientation takes place in
n twinkling and Is complete. The eye
no longer looks down into unplumbed
deeps, but back toward the light of
day; curiosity for the ultimate yields
to a golden memory of familiar things
friends, household goods, books,
barking dogs, the freshness of grass
and trees. The body has reasserted
itself. The dreaming Imagination is
dragged away from its goal by the
galloping senses. Eye, ear, touch,
taste start upon rampage. Especially
does the appetite for food wax furious,
discovering itself endowed with power
to transform coddled egg into some
thing rich and strange, and to illumine
chicken broth with charm that no
art can equal. The universe, lately
shrunk to the sickrOom, now rises
again like the genie out of the bottle
in which he had been imprisoned; the
sickroom becomes q house of deten-
ton, and at its door, as in seashell
olapped to the ear, the convalescent
hearkens to all the rumors of the outer
world.-Henry Dwight Sedgwick, ID

DAY IN The navy
Uncle Sans Sailors Have All
Sorts of Fun on Thanks
giving.

"HANKSGIVING day in the navy
isn't what it used to be! But
neither officer nor enlisted man
states the fact with reminiscent
sadness of tone. For many years ago,
and many years less than that, and, in
deed, until very recent years, the Ply
mouth Rock anniversary was a
day anticipated for months ahead be-
cause it would bring turkey and trim
mings" to every man aboard ship in
the navy. But now-well, the sailor
men are not any less patriotic, only
they have such improved food condi-
tions that holiday has lost some Of
It's desirabilities, at least from a Gu
linary standpoint.
In every other respect Thanksgiv-
ing day is just as longingly antici-
pated, for greater freedom Is allowed
the men, and events, unheard of in the
"old days." enliven the ship during
the forenoon and after dinner and tea
OR tiffin.
All sorts of athletic contests posi-
BILE to the floating gymnasium are in
dulged in and y ore than one promis-
ing "White Hope" has made his debut
at holiday bout.
From the time they turn out every
man aboard feels a tangible difference
in the day. No matter what the
weather conditions-whether they be
near the equator or blowing about ice
crusted seas-it is Thanksgiving day
and there will be "doings."
Every vessel of the navy must be
kept ship-shape and for this purpose
about fourth of the men are told
off to look after the absolutely neces-
sary routine, such as cleaning, scrub
bling, cooking and accomplishing the
thousand and one odd jobs a man-of-
war is always providing.
Whenever it is possible men are per-
mit.ed to go homo for Thanksgiv-
ing, and of course their ebay" be-
comes an individual holiday, but the
majority simply go ashore for jollifi-
cation, theater or a football game
If the fleet is in any home port-or
for whatever happens to be provided
by ''the natives" of u foreign port at
that time.
OF course the elaborateness of the
days exercises depends upon the tai
ent Of the crew and the size of the
ship. Athletic rivalry is often intense
among various vessels of the fleet, and
when one possesses an especially
clever boxer, or fox trotter, or pie eat
er, or singer, the others are sure to
learn it-there Is no hiding of lights
under bushels ut such times-and his
ability lends added luster to the pro-
gram.

THANKSGIVING

The cornfelds are ripe and the apples are red
Full are the barn and the bin;
The herds on the praires :. numberless head
The harvest Is now gathered in
TIE forest paid tribute the shop and the mine
Have gladdeneo the grateful heart;
The looms have been eNckns the weaving Is fine
And voices ere loud in the mart
The children are laughing and running to school
Everywhere is re Spirit call
Fair Science is 5training 70 widen her rule.
The earth. sea. and air 70 enihrall
A moment Of silence ga rapturous thrill
Let's give our thanksgiving to God.
For all these good gifts of his bounteous will
Are poured on Americas sod
The people in answer responsive arise.
Each heart is now turned to shrine;
The old hymns would sing themselves out to the
skies
And lips to the old prayers inclpe.
Bur the old songs fall short tongues fal,er and
halt
The music Is Just off the key
The harvest is wondrous so where Is the fault
What lacks in our jubilee2
Then the soul breaks forth Of that worshipins host
In TIE Deum that shall not cease.
I'VE thank thee. Lord for the harvests rich bu,

For our harvest Of peace"

by Cranmer in 1914 turkey is named
as one of the greater fowls, of which
an ecclesiastic was to shave but one

piled to such an extent that no later
than 1855 two turkeys and four tur-
key chicks were served at feast Of
the sergeants-at-arms in London.
Turkeys at that period were men,
toned in connection with cranes and
swans as important and rich items of
banquet. A little later, in 1873, tur-
key were used on the tables of Eng
fish husbandmen for the Christmas
feast. In the meantime they were
more than plentiful in their home land,
where turkey continued to sell for
about six cents apiece as late as the
nineteenth century. For six cents in
those good old days turkey weighing
about IL pounds could be bought by
good shopper. If the family need
ed turkey weighing 25 or 30 pounds
it was necessary to pay as much as a
quarter. But 1t must be remembered
that six cents in those days counted
good deal more than it does in this.
Turkeys Of Various Kinds.
The turkey that the Aztecs wor-
SHIPPED was probably either the Meu-
can wild turkey, which is known by
the white touches on its tail coverts
and quilts, or, more appropriately, tie
ocellated turkey of Honduras and
other parts of South, America, whose

gloriously with vivid colors as a pea

that of Mexico, in the opinion Of sorae
lovers Of beauty, but not so brilliant
a one as the Honduras turkey.
The American wild turkey, which
really belongs to Thanksgiving, was
the North American wild turkey
found throughout the eastern United
States and Canada. Scientifically 1t is
known as the Meleagris Americana.
It's plumage is black, shaded with
bronze. In the rays Of the sun the
bird CLEANS in beautiful harmony of
black copper, gold and bronze. And the
turkey likes the rays of the sun. He
hates damp weather, not alone because
1t is bad for his health, but because
1t otscures his beauty.

Louis Blrsky the real estater
said TO Barnett Zapp the waist manu-
facturer. "That feller goes from a
pushcart to ottomobeei In less than

SKY said. "What's the difference"
There's whole lot of difference"
Zapp replied. "A business man which

couldn't recognize 1t, understand. At

the flood and who has got plenty of
money to assist the flood victims IL 1t

Yes, Birsky, giving to some war re-

pense of caring for their wounded sol

they can use the money they ought to

money for war charity is just so kind

''That depends on his Intentions"
Zspp replied. "There is some French

"Them cigars was probably donated

"there wouldn't be no necessity for

everybody knows about cost book
