BUILDING Concrete shlps.

Concrete ships will displace the
wOoden-walled Norwegian barQue, 1t
Is reported, the first Norwegian con-
crete ship having been launched at
the Porsgrund Cement Works, in the
presence Of the prime minister, NJ.
Knudsen. The ship Is built on an en-
tirely new system, with the bottom
upwards, in which extraordinary posi-
ton the launching took place on a
sort Of underlying sledge, which glided
out with the ship. When the water
was reached the hull became detached
from the sledge and gradually sank
up to certain point, then subsequent-
ly slowly righted itself. The ship,
which Is Of 200 tons burden, was built
In three weeks, but the next will only
require about half that time as the
original frame will be used for each
subsequent ship Of the same size. The
casting Of the ship, when the frame is
completed will this time take only two
days. 1t Is intended to start the whole
sale building Of iron and concrete
ships Of 200, 500 and 1000 tons. A
1,OOO-ton ship will be completed in SIX
weeks.

TRUE LOVE OF SLOW GROWTH
But, Having FIowered, There Is No
Test Which It Cannot Pass With
Triumph.

True lasting love is little slower
In starting than is false love. 1t is a
little more dignified; a little more
truthful and pure from the start. 1t
Is less disturbed by jealousy and
trifing differences. 1t is more sturdy,
though less flamboyant. 1t is less
easily disturbed by frosts of misun-
derstandings and other disturbances.
So much for the beginning Of love.
The second test of love is time
eparation-distance. The passing fas-
cination shows itself in this test-it
cannot pass it; 1t cannot last.
Only true love lasts. and that lasts
because it reaches down to the bed
rock of mutual esteem, and is of dura-
BILE material; of mutual interests and
sympathy it is compounded.
When love has passed Its second test
-time-it is usually able to pass its
third test, which is altruism, or SER
vice.
At some time or other in life, love
always asks: What will you give for
love? And he that loveth truly an
swers: will give my time, my per-
sonality, my position, my wealth-all
will Iogive for love.
| But he that does not love deeply,
says: ! would keep love, but do not
wish to give up too much for 1t.
Foolish fellow. His love fails In Its
test. He loses his love because he will
not pay the price Of keeping 1t.
| The final test of love is its influ.
ence. True love makes one better
The wrong sort of love is degrading,
not uplifting. He does not love truly
who is not finer, stronger personality
because of love.
Real love is the sun of ones life
1t brightens, gladdens, uplifts and
beautifies.-Philadelp Inquirer.

WHERE GRAMMAR CAME FROM
Darbareus Macedonian. Who Made
hImsslf Owner Of All Egypt. Held
Responsible for Invention.

The world reached its highest known
stage Of intelligence before grammar
was even invented, much less studied,
Ernest G. Moore writes in the Yale Re-
view. ! have had some curiosity
to find out where and how SO great q
blight upon young life first came into
being, and why 1t ever became a school
study, and l find that the Greeks knew
It not; that their triumphant litera-
ture and their matchless oratory came
to flower before grammar was dreamed
of; that 1t was not In any sense one
Of the great arts which they wrought
out and with which they armed the
human race; that after Greece had
declined, a barbarous Macedonian made
himself owner Of all Egypt, and in Or
der to surround himself with the most
spectacular form Of ostentation Of
which his vain mind could conceive,
he set to collecting not only all the
rare and precious objects and books
and manuscripts there were in the
world, but he capped 1t all by max
Ing a collection Of the living men Of
the world who had any reputation any

Taking them from their homes where
they had some relation to the daily
necessities of human beings, and had
really been Of some use, he shut them
up for life in one of his palaces at
Alexandria, which the folks were in
the habit of calling "the hencoop of
the muses." and out of sheer despera-
ton, since they could do nothing bet
ter to amuse themselves, they counted
the words in the books which real men
had written, and prepared tables Of
the forms and endings which the users
of words employed. The lifeless dregs
of books which their distilling left we
now call grammar, and study instead
of books and even speech itself. In
their lowest depth Of Indifference to
the moving, pulsing life of man, not
even the Alexandrians sank so low as
that.

GAMES OF sIAMEsE KIDDIEs
Girls Play Keeping House, With Dried
Clay DoIlies-Boys Jump Rope
and Roll Marbles.

When the Siamese folks get up In
the morning they do not go to the
washstand to wash their faces, for the
simple reason that Siamese houses can
boast no such article of furniture, says
an exchange.
So our little Siamese friend just
runs down to the foot Of the ladder
for the house is built on posts-to a
large jar Of water with a coconut
shell dipper. There she washes her
face by throwing the water over her
hands and rubbing them over her face.
She needs no towel, for the water is
left to dry. She does not brush her
teeth, for they are stained black by
chewing the betel nut. Her hair does
not require combing, either, for 1t is
all shaved except little tuft on the
top of the head, and that is tied In
little knot and not very often combed.
After breakfast is over. the children
go off and find some pleasant place in
which to play. The girls play at keep
ing house and make dishes of clay
dried in the sun. Little images of clay
washed with lime are their only dolls.
The boys of Siam are very fond of
pitching coins, and spend much Of their
time in this game. They play leap
frog and very often jump the rope.
Now that SO many foreigners are IN
Siam, they have learned to play mar
bles, too.
As the streets in Siam are almost
all rivers and canals, the Siamese boys
and girls early learn to row, and pad
die their little boats almost as soon as
they learn to swim, which they do
when they are only four or five years
old.

The name Alaska is an English cor.
ruption Of perversion Of Alayeksa, as
1t was called by the aboriginal inhab-

first came to one Of the Aleutian
islands, they were told that a vast

Its name was Alayeksa. The Aleuts
called their own island Nagun Alay-
eksa, meaning the land lying near
Alayeksa. BY process Of Russian
ising and Anglicizing Alayeksa became
Alaska. and Nagun-Alayeksa became

Alayeksa meant "the great country

PEACE IMPOSSIBLE WHILE
FOES WANT SOIL OF
GERMANY.

Amsterdam, Oct. 10.-At the
plenary sitting of the Reichstag
yesterday, DR.. George Michaelis,
the imperial German chancellor,
asserted that peace was impossible
as long as Germany's enemies de-
manded any German soil or en-
deavored to drive wedge be-
tween the German people and
their emperor. The speech Of
the chancellor was delivered dur
ing the discussion of the resolu-
ton against propaganda in the
army in favor of a German peace.
"We would get along much bet
ter" said the chancellor, if
those who combat the peace res
olution of July 10 and assert
that its supporters want a separ-
ate peace would be more just to-
ward this resolution. We must
work out in their positive sense,
and forcefuly. the aims comprised
in this resolution. We must be
clear in our minds as to what we
desire, and must emphasize what
was said in the resolution.
"The German nation will stand
together as one man, unshakable,
and persevere in the fight until
its rights and the rights of our
allies to existence and develop
ment are assured. In it's unity
the German empire is invincible.
We must continue to persevere
until the German empire, on the
continent and overseas, establish
es it's position. Further. we must
strive to see that the armed al
linace Of our enemies does not
grow into an economic offensive
alliance.
We can in this sense achieve a
peace which guarantees the peas
ant the true reward Of his land
which gives the worker merited
recompense which creates a mar
ket for industries and supplies
the foundation for social prog
ress; which gives our ships the
possibility of free voyage, of
entering ports. and taking coal
all over the world-a peace of the
widest economic and cultural de-
velOpment; a real peace. This
peace we can attain within these
limits.

PHYSICAL TRAINING IN
SCHOOL.

The State Department of Educa-
ton has taken a long and proper
step forward in providing for
systematic and thorough physical
training in the public schools.
The news that such a course ia
to be instituted is gratifying, and
opens up long-neglected field of
public school activity. 1t is just
as important that the public
school develop the body as it does
the mind Of a child. But it has
not been the policy of the schools
to pay attention to the physical
development of the child. The
system in the past has been to-
develop a few football, baseball
and track athletics in a few
schools-tO develop an occasional
star here and there-rather than
to look after the physical develop
ment of all the children. But all
this State Superintendent Harris
proposes to change. He proposes
to make the physical development
of the child as much a concern
of the teaching authorities as the
mental development. Children
are to be taught the care Of then.

ITALIAN MISSION IS LOUDLY CHEERED ON
 ARRIVAL AT CAPITAL
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, May 23-T h e Prince of Udine, member of the royal house of Savoy, and cousin of the King of Italy, delivered a message of greeting and comradeship to the Am erican people on his arrival here today as the head of Italy's war mession. Accompanied by some of the kingdoms s leading citizens, including William Marconi, inventor of the wireless, the prince expressed his delight at being in America at this time and the op- portunity to express Italy's opinion of Americas championship of the cause of democracy in the great world struggle.
 The Italian mission was received with every honor when it's special train reached the capital at noon to- day.
 The visitors passed out through a cheering crowd in the station to wait ing automobiles which passed under escort of two cavalry troops to the Joseph Letter house where they will make the headquarters.
 The commissioners will call formal ly tomorrow on Secretary Lansing and then on Secretary Daniels The prince being a captain in the royal navy. Thence they will go to the White House to be presented to Presi- dent Wilson, who will entertain them at dinner in the evening
 The presence of William Marconi, the wireless inventor with the mis- sion, led to reports that the famous scientist had found a solution of the submarine difficulty. It was stated on behalf of the mission that Marconi has brought to this country several devices evolved by the Italian admir- atty, which accounted for 1S U-boats in the first three weeks of their op- eration.
 The main purpose that the Italian representatives hope to achieve is un- derstood to be a closer understand ing and sympathy between the United States and Italy.
