BIRTHDAYSTODAY

DR.. Percival Lowell, the noted astrono-
mer Of Harvard and Flagstaff, Ariz., and
champion Of the theory that the canals of
the planet Mars were artiicially made, is
81 years old today. Much has been printed
by DIR. Lowell and others concerning the
supposed canals, the Importance of which
lay i'm the belief that the MartianS might
be way ahead Of u IN astronomy and by
means If the huge canals might be flash
ing a signal to the earth. Whether the
theories and 20 called proofs form a "a
gantic dream or deluSlon l. now the sub
lect OF discussion IN scientific circles. For
the head of the British Astronomical As
ISOLATION has recently come out with the
declaration that the 'canals" on Mars are
an optical Illusion. DIR. Lowell claims that
those who would throw cold water on hi-
theories nave not studied the planet prop
erly. and that the Marian canals. fully a
thousand miles long. are ..oader, regular
lines of faultles~ curvature. beyond the
power of unassisted nature 10 contrive. DIR.
Lowell has spent many years in the study
Of Mars. He was born at Boston March
-, 1855. and j. a brother of DIR. A. Law
renee Lowell. president of Harvard Univer-
sIty. He was graduated from Harvard
and went 10 Japan to live. He wrote sew
eral books on japanese lfe. In 1898 he re
turned home and established the Lowell
Observatory at Flagstaff. He has made
trips to T'ripoli and other far places to
study e~clipses. and sent an expedition to
the Andes to photograph the planet Mars
in 1907. He has been honored by many
scientific societies in America and Europe.
His studies cover a wide range, and one
of hiS latest books advances his theories
Of the evolutions of the worlds.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody. but has merely portrayed
the errors OF the present Admlnistru-

on which the affairs Of the country
should he managed In the future.
There Is a political logic In this por-
trayul, the elimination Of which In the
mind II the voter Is expressed by the
frequent remark
"IIe is the kind Of man we want to
steer US through"
This has been said by many a bust
ness man. The qualities seen In MIR.
Hughes are poisr, n strong. sane mind,
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political. to the good
Of the country. Nor Is there any ques-

oNCE-0VERS

Don't encourage your children tC
tell what they heard at the home OF
your friend or neighbor.
II gets TO be a bad habit. II starts
them on the road OF the gossip"
Naturally. when you quiz them. they
have a desire to tell something out Of
the orHInary-something that will in.
terest you.
When they find that the ordinary
things won't do this they are quite
likely to concoct stories which will
cause you to listen.
This is a most damaging lesson in
the use Of lies.
Before long they realize that. TO
claim attention, the commonplace Is
a failure. so they cultivate their i'm.
agination.
Once this idea is inculcated II is
most difficult TO urroot.
Lying becomes easier than tellinr
the truth.
The habit IL formed and. with age
becomes second nature.
The mind Of a child Is very sensi,
tive. and It requires little TO make
an impression, deep and lasting.
The sort OF impressions TO he made
IN childhood are those OF right, purity.
hclpfulness and honesty, and to mind
their own business and not know toe
much about their ncighbors.
