PEOPLE DRIVEN TO THINK
Writer Asserts That Most Persons Are
Averse to Thought Unless Under
Compulsion.

"For as he thinketh within himself,
so Is he" Solomon would seem to inn
Oily that one man is distinguished from
another man by the thoughts that he
kinks within him But what about
he person who doesn't think at all?
AS a matter Of fact the average
oerson must be driven to think. Few
people do any real thinking unless
hey have to. We are driven to be
thoughtful, some Of us by the neces-
dty of making a living, or by the cruel
wrench of misfortune, or when sorrow
lisenthrails us from the ordinary ways
If routine life.
The great war, with its startling dis
'uptionS and its far-reachlng effects on
al the life of men, is a vast thought
producer. 1t has introduced the Ques-
ions Of "Why? and "HowY into the

DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES
World eegan--csIled Symbol
Of constancy.

The rainbow is the result of estab-
lished physical laws, being caused by
the refraction and reflection of the
suns rays ia drops of rain. These
laws were in operation from the Crea-
ton of the world. and as the world
had existed some thousands of years
before the flood. rairbOwS must have
been frequent ana common spectacle
The right Interpretation of Genesis
9:13," says a biblical authority,
seems to be that a took the rain
bow, which had hitherto been but n
beautiful object shining in the henv-
ems when the suns rays fell on falling
rain, and consecrated IL as the sign
of his love ard the witness of his
promise" Lange, n learned German
commentator, says: "The Hebrew word
translated as a sign of the covenant
does not imply IA counteractiOn OF nat
ural law or the bringing of new
thing into nature. Any fixed object
may be used for a sign, and here the
very covenant itself, or "a most impOr-
tant part Of it, being the stability of
nature, there is most striking con
sistency in the fact that the sign of
such covenant is taken from nature
itself. The rainbow, ever appearing
in the sunshine after rain, is the very
symbol of constancy. 1t is selected
from all others, not only for its splen-
dor and beauty, but for the regularity
with which il cheers us when we look
out for it after the storm. The jew
ish encyclopedia says: THE literal
translation of the words rendered My
bow have set in the cloud, indicates
that the rainbow was already an es-
tablished institution (Sefore the flOOd)
but that it then assumed new role
as "A token of Gods covenant with the
earth against the food

BLIND REPAIR WATCHES BEST
Their Delicate Sense Of Touch Makes
Them Superior in This Branch
of Mechanics.

Blind people-those who have been
born blind-are, as is well known, eX-
ceedingly clever with their fingers, but
it is not often we hear Of matchmaker
who was born blind, and yet there have
been instances of the kind.
famous blind matchmaker lived at
Holbeach, in England. His name was
Rippin. and though completely blind
he could take to pieces and put tOgeth-
er again watches of most delicate con
struction with the greatest ease and
in quicker time than most watchmak-
ers who have the advantage of good
eyesight
On one occasion some of the tiny
wheels and screws used in his trade
were stolen from him, but the thief
was captured with the property on his
person, and Rippin identified it by his
delicate sense Of touch. Another watch
and clockmaker brought up his blind
son to his trade, and he proved so
skillful that on more than one occa-
sion he detected faults in timepieces
which other trudosmen had failed to
discover.

PARIS. April BY successful
counter attacks, French troops gained
ground last night in the Cailette
woods, southeast OF Fort Douaumont.

noon.
The counter attacks were OF great
violence and brought TO a halt the
German offensive delivered in this re-
gion by a force estimated at 10000
men. The Germans apparently were
attempting to drive southwark. plan-
ming to surround Fort Vaux. which
has resisted successive massed at
tacks by the Germans since the early
days Of the Verdun fighting.
On the west bank OF the Meuse. the
/ Germans bombarded Haucourt and
Esnes throughout the night. The
French guns on Hill 3O4 replied
energetically.
In yesterdays fighting. the Germans
advanced on a front OF nearly two
miles The whole sector between the
ruins of Fort Douaumont and the
VauXbrook was the scene Of desperate
fighting.
BY hurling mass after mass at the
French trenches the Germans forced
their way across the VauxDouaumont
road. Then sheltered from machine
gun fire. by a slight rise, they ad-
vanced into the northern fringes OF
Caillette wood.

German charge was met by sheetel

United Press Stan Correspondent.
LONDON, April 3.-The British
foreign Office informed the United
Press today that there is no founda-
ton for the rumor that Hollands
warlike preparations are due to any
threat by the Allies to violate Dutch
neutrality.
II was also denied that any deci-
sion made by the Allies at the recent
Paris conference was responsible for
the sudden summoning of the Dutch
parliament into session and the can
collation. Of soldiers leaves OF alb
sence. The Dutch minister Of war,
in an interview with correspondents
at Amsterdam. instead of explaining
the reasons for Hollands military
activities, made the situation even
more puzzling. He hinted that from
some power had come the sugges-
ton that Holland demobilize the
forces she now has in arms to pre-
serve her neutrality.
Holland must be ready at a mo-
ment's notice to resist with the ut
most vigor any danger that may
arise" he said. I'VE must be ready
to use our whole force at a mo.
ment's notice against the violators o.
our neutrality. We have therefore de
cided TO reject the suggestion tha

HOW'D YOU LIKE TO
Be ARDENITE NOW?
Communal Treasurer Must
Pay Even Income Tax
of Residents
MORE DOGS THAN KIDS
AND TAX PAID, TOO

To live in a village and be immune
from all direct taxes such as dog
licenses, automobile licenses and the
like is the good fortune Of Arden
ties, and now the question has arisen
there as to whether the community
funds should be applied to paying the
income tax of the co1onists.
The question Of paying the automo-
BILE licenses of the colonists was
brought up 1T a meeting Of the town
people on Saturday evening, when it
was said that fully a dozen of the
Ardenites owned automobiles, and on
which State licenses had been paid.
The town has paid the dog licenses
for the past few years and on one Oc-
casion a census of CANNES taken at
the village show ed fifty-one dogs. A
significant fact was thst here were
more dogs in the colony than chill
dren.
When the question Of paying the au'
tomobile licenses of the residents came
M on Saturday night, il was agreed
onv all such taxes were to be paid from
communal funds. 10 was then suggest
ed that the residents income tax ais,
was up to the village treasurer. Whether
any residents are subject TO the incOm'
tax was not announced.
At the meeting on Saturday night
some comment was made when a lettei
was read from j. V. Simpson. Of Sus
sex county, asking for assistance in op
posing the construction of the duPon
boulevard through the colony. A lik
request from Mr.. Simpson had been re
fused some time ago. After the lette
was read on Saturday night, J. Fran
stephens said there must be mistake
as it was reported that the Simpso
property had been sold 10 General I. {
dupont. Nothing was done with tn
letter.
