THE OLD SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS

Oh, the old school exhibitions; will
they ever come again,
With the good old-fashioned speaking
from the girls and boys so plain,
Will we ever hear old "Iser," with his
rapid roll and sweep.
And "Pilot, it's a fearful night; there's
danger on the deep?
Sweet Mary doesn't raise her lambs
like Mary did of old;
Their fleece is not "as white as snow;
they're wandering from the fold.
The boy upon "the burning deck" is
not one-half as fine
He was not "born at Bingen, at Bing-
en- on the Rhine"
The girls don't speak in calico, the
boys in cotton jeans;
They've changed the old-time dresses
long with the old-time scenes;
They smile and speak in ancient
Greek; in broad-cloth and in lace,
And you can't half see the speaker for
the collar round the face.
Oh, the old school exhibition, it is gone
forevermore;
The old school house is deserted, and
the green has choked the door,
And the wind sweeps round the ga
bles with low and mournful
whine
For the old boys "born at ,Bingen-at

And the boy you lulled to rest; H.,
The wee little boy with the tousled

That long, long ago was thine;

And now he has come to mans estate,
Grown stalwart in body, and strong;
And you'd hardly know that he was

But his heart is unchanged by time,
And still he is only the boy as of old,

Certnin-teed
Roofing

The guarantee is for s, 10 or years, accord
ing to ply e., 2 or -. There is. no evasion
about tho attempt to substitute high
sounding something ''just as good.' There
is no substitute for a real guarantee. You
get an absolute guarantee on CERTAIN
TEED because the General knows that no
better roofing can be made. Its raw materials
and method of manufacture are both certi-
fed by the General board of graduate chem
lists, and he knows he's taking no chance in
guaranteeing them to you. That's what
"CERTAIN-TEED'' means-eUt;6ed and
guaranteed. Experience has proven that the
guarantee is conservative, and that GER
TAINTED will outlast the period Of guar
antee.
The roofing felt, as it comes bone dry from
the rollers, is given thorough saturation of

Of the Generals board of expert chemists.
It is then given harder coating of another
blend of asphalts. This keeps the inner sat-
uraton soft, and prevents the drying-out
process so destructive to ordinary roofing.
Roofing is impervious to the elements onIy
50 long as the asphalt saturation lasts. GER
TAINTED retains its soft saturation, and
ISM good condition for years after the harder,
drier kinds have become useless.
CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in
slate-covered shingles. There is type of
CERIAIN-TEED for every kind of build
ing, with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest
sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out
building.
CERIAIN-TEED is sold by responsible
dealers all over the world, at reasonable prices.
Investigate it before you decide on any type
of roof.

The Heir to the Italian Throne.

The most envied boy in all Italy is Humbert Nicholas Thomas Jean MaTie-envied not because he is heir aparent to the Italian throne, but be-
 cause he is the youngest boy who has been officially permitted to see the Italian front
 This only son of King Victor Elm manuel, who is known as the Prince of Piedmont is but twelve years old, and has had some remarkable ad ventures. He is head of the Young Explorers of Italy, a body that core spends to the Boy Scouts in America, and he has done a lot of things that any boy would like to do. He has gone up in aerOplanes, down in submarines, steered WarshipS, sailed boats, shot at wild bOars, and ridden cavalry horses But the things he is prOudest of are l his visits to the front, for he has been 1 here not once but many times. His first visit was a, matter of considerable family discussion. Tn the royal family of Italy all such matters are talked over in the same fashion that they would be in any large American fam fly. Humbert has three sisters, two i older and one younger than he, all of whom love him very much, and it is related t2at they did not agree about the safetT of A visit to the front. His father, who has been at the front since the war began, as a matter of | duty, felt it was rather risky business ! i of Austrian shells and bullets, aside from the unusual hazards of rough
 army life.
 But Humbert pleaded so hard that the family decided to let him come. l The deciding vote was cast bv his tutor, Commander Ronald, of the Navy l who is a much easier naatcr than the | one who brought up the present King. ! Tn fact 1t is stated that the present King. remembering his own Spartan 1 training, chose Commander Ronald as his boys tutor because of his gentler i qualities.
 ! Once at the front, young Humbert 1 displayed the same fearIessness that 1 has characterized his father during i his stay there. He went practically 1 everywhere, fell in love with the soldiers, was petted by them in return, and all in all had a fine time
 Indeed, he liked the front so much that he has got permission to visit 1t again and again, until now his hap py smile and his sailor uniform of blue serge have become known to the soldiers all along the front.
 It is related that during his last visit when the weather was warm on the lower hills of the IsOnzo river front, seeing some soldiers going bare footed he insisted on taking off his | own shoes. If the soldiers can go barefoot, why can't a sailor boy?" he demanded.
 The latest exploit of this youn gster
 was to mount aIoft in a hydro aero
 plane. When at Tarante, the naval
 base inside the heel of the shoe that
 the peninsula of Italy forms in the
 south, and where number of Ameri-
 can aViatOrS have been helping in the
 training of the Italian hyers, he sought
 and obtained permission to take a ride.
 He went up smiling and he came
 down smiling" remarked one of the
 American aviators. Some day they'll
 call that lad the smiling king

MONUMENT FOR
 SOLDIERS OF STATE.
Proposed That One Be Erected in
 Soldiers Burial Plot, Darien.

Passing up and down the ancient
 Post Road, Darien, most travellers
 show an interest in the many little
 white headstones at the Soldiers buri-
 al plot connected with the state sol
 diers' home. Here lie the remains of
 four hundred veterans of the Civil war
 and the number is constantly increas-
 ing as the wearers of the blue answer
 the last roll-call says The Darten Re-
 view.
 The rows of marble stones, shining
 white in the sun, are an inspiring
 sight and impressive. Persons who
 stop and personally visit the cemetery will learn that the plot is attraetively
 arranged in four divisions forming a circle in the center. This circle was
 reserved by the projectors, it is said,
 as spot on which there may be erected monument or memorial to the veterans. And it is of this that The Review would especially refer at
 this time,
 The occasion is a. fitting one for l discussing a subject like this. Dar- tens' soldiers burial ground needs a | memorial. Will the prosperous state
 of Connecticut see to it that a memor- ial Is erected or will some patriotic and generously inclined private citizen come to the front with the offer of a monument to the boys that lost their | lives in the defense of their country! Eor ten years or longer the subject | of memorial at the state soldiers l burial ground has been discussed, | quietly to be sure, but discussed. The l Grand Army of the Republic has had | the matter under consideration and the | Sons of Veterans of the state have l discussed the project at their meetings. l Now the subject is to be revived. l Surely the state will have to hasten l the erection of a memorial for time is 1 flying and the youngest veteran will
 not survive many years and if a mem i orlal is to be erected it should be within the life time of these men. | The appropriation of a sum of money l for this laudable purpose would serve ] to distinguish the government of the state. It is proposed to bring the
 matter formally before the state 1 officials and legislators.
 l Fitch's home for state soldiers at | Darien is q splendid institution. It
 was established by generous and pa l trlOtiC state government in honor of 1 the vetGEans of the wor, where these men may reside, assured that when at | last they are mustered out they will | have a quiet place to rest. The Home at this time quarters a large number | of veterans, some of whom hope to | live to see a monument or memorial 1 chapel or some other form or remom- | brance, erected in the soldiers ceme- i tery.

Remarkahle RentiIes-

During the time of deposition of the clays constituting the Morrison shale in southern Colorado there existed a great variety of remarkable reptiles of huge size. Their bones, which are in places abundant, are the remains of animals that were mired in the soft clay of which the Morrison formation largely consists. Some of these crea- lures, such as the Brontosaurus, were 60 feet long. Many of them had re- markedly small heads, notably the Stegosaurus which had so diminutive a brain that it must have been very stupid. This animal was undoubtedly very clumsy also, but it's huge size and protective armor aided in it's pres ervation.-IL. S Geological Survey.
