Modern Goddess, NIOBE

She is an attractive girl with
black-lashed blue eyes, a pleasant
smile. which shows row Of white
teeth under the firm red lips, and
very Bostonese accent.
How did you happen to go on

and MT. Stone who is her manager

The Niobe of old was a weep
ing goddess.
The Niobe OF today is a god
desS, but she isn't weeping. At
least. She was long way from
fearful when l saw her. She was
smiling and apparently very
happy.
Niobe is the stage name Of Miss
Dorathea Turner, who is appearing
at the Alta theater IN a diving act,
She doesn't remember when she
first learned to swim. She has been
swimming all her life, she says.
MY mothah said she used TO take
me from my bawth and I'd hollah,
she said with a smile (Miss Turner
is from Boston, and I wish I could
write water" as she says it.
Then she told me how she used to
slip away from home when she lived
near the sea and go into the water,
"Mothah always was scaihed TO death
about me-" she dimpled.

And them interrupted Mr. stone,
eagerly, Il suggested that she could

unity of our history that upon this monument, which commem crates the man who did most to establish the American Union we should have hoisted those stars that have so multiplied since his time, associated with those lines of red and white which mean all that is pure in our purpose, and all that is red in our blood in the service of nation whose history has been full of in spiration because Of his example.
 But Washington was one of the least sentimental men that America has ever produced. The thing that thrills me about Washington is that he is impatient of any sentiment that has no definite purpose in it. His letters run along the lines of action, not merely along the mere lines of sentiment and the most in- spring times that this nation has ever seen have been the times when sentiment had to be translated into action.
 Apparently this nation is again and again and again to be tested, and always tested in the same way. The last supreme test this nation went through was the test of the Civil war. You know how deep that cut. You know what exigent issues of life were at issue in that struggle. You know how two great sections of this union seemed to be moving in opposite di- rections, and for a long time it was questionable whether that flag repre- scented any one united purpose in America. And you know how deep that struggle cut into the sentiments of this people, and how there came a whole generation, following that great struggle, when mems hearts were bitter and sore, and memories hurt as well as exalted, and how it seemed as if rift had come in the hearts of the people of America.
 And you know how that ended. While it seemed a time of terror, it has turned out a proof of the validity O. our hope. Where are now the di visions of sentiment which cut us asunder at the time of the Civil war? Did you not see the Blue and the Gray mingled this morning in the procession? Did not you see the sons of subsequent generation walking together in happy comradeship? Was there any contradiction of feel ing there for a moment?
 Nothing cuts so deep as a civil war, and yet all the wounds Of that war have been healed, not only, but the very passion of that war seems to have contributed to the strength of rational feeling which now moves us as single body polite.

Nervous People Must Keep Blood
 Cool in Summer
Over-heated Blood is Dangerous Causes Severe Nerve Strain.
 A Simple Home Remedy.

"Phew! My blood feels as though it was boiling, my feet are so hot and swollen l can hardly drag one after the other my head is ready to burst and my nerves are right on edge. 1 wish I could take off every stitch and hide in the shade till winter cOmes."
 Summer days are surely trying days for tried, Jagged nervous men and women. Overloaded blood pressing on their delicate nerve centers just fairly takes every speck of ann mbition and vitality, makes them so cross, ir- ritable and peevish you can hardly get a civil word from them. Even night brings only uneasy, fitful sleep, which leaves them in the morning as tired as when they went to bed.
 If summer heat is trying your nerves and making your existence miserable just try the great new nerve remedy Margo for few days and see what blessed relief it gives in even tWenty-four hours Margo is used to cool you sluggish overloaded blood, open tho pores of your skin and induce a gentle, cooling perspira- tion that draws all the puffy, swollen feeling from your hands and feet, the dull heavy feeling from your head and makes your brain cool. clear and active. It calms, soothes and steadies the nerves and makes the days work a real pleasure.
 Margo is absolutely harmless It contains no dope or dangerous drugs, but is a scientific ombination of six of the best nerve vitalizing elements known to modern chemistry. Thou sands of people everywhere are us- ing it this very day and are enjoying the blessed relief from all nerve strain that Margo alone can give. Druggists all over New Britain are selling it fast these days and Clark & Brainerd are so confident of it's value that they offer it to every buyer on their absolute guarante or satis- faction or money back

1 ly to see to 1t that no man is toler- ! ated who does not do honor to that l flag? It is not 8 matter of force. It 1 is not a matter, that is to say, of 1 physical force. It is a matter of a, greater force than that which is phy- l sical. It is matter of spiritual force. It is to be achieved as we l think, as we purpose, as we believe, l and when the world finally learns that America Is indivisible, then the world l will learn how truly and profoundly great and powerful America is.''
 The president told his hearers that if they could have gone with him through the last two years and "cou!d have felt the impact of intrigue and sedition'' they would realize more keenly the "so1emnity with which I look upon that sublime symbol, (the fiag), Of our unity and power"
 In conclusion the president said as he saw the wind unfold the line of the great flag at the top of the monu- ment:
 T shall seem to see hand pointing the way of duty, no matter how hard, no matter how long, which we shall tread while we vindicate the glory and honor of the United States"
 Text of the Presidents Address.
 The presidents address in full was as follows:
 MT. Secretary Ladies and Gentle men: I have not come here this af- ternoon with the purpose Of deliver ing to you an elaborate address. It seems to me that the day is suffi- ,ciently eloquent already with the meaning which it should convey to US. The spectacle of the morning has been a very moving spectacle in- deed-an almost unpremeditated out pouring of thousands of sober citizens to manifest their interest in the safety Of the country and the sacredness of the flag which is it's emblem.
 T need not remind you how much sentiment has been poured out in honor of the flag of the United States. Sometimes we have been charged with being very sentimental people, fond of expressing in general rhetori- cal phrases principles not sufficiently defined in action, and I dare say there have been times of happy and careless ease in this country, when all it has been necessary to do for the honor of the flag was to put our sen- timents into poetic expressions, into the words that for the time being satisfied our hearts.
 But this is net a day of sentiment. Sentiment is a propulsive power, but it does not propel in the way that is eerviceable to the nation unless 1t have 8 definite purpose before it. This is not merely day of sentiment It is a day of purpose.
 ''It is an eloquent symbol of the
