Sand Dunes in easeony.

One of the most interesting and re-
markable Of the many regions for the
observation Of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and BayOnne. in GascOny.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along a line of 100 miles in
length, some 100000 cubic yards Of
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface parti-
Giles from the westward slope. where
they are again deposited, and the en-
tire ridge by this means alone ove
gradually inward. In the course Of
years there has thus been formed a
complex system of dunes. all approx
mately parallel with the coast and
with one another and Of all attitudes
up to $50 feet. These are marching
steadily inward at a rate of from three
to six feet a year. whole villages hav-
ing sometimes been torn down to pre-
vent burial and rebuilt at a distance.

The Call TO Action.

The test Of life is action. The rea-
son why some fail where and when
others succeed is because some go
forward to new and untried expert
ments in the art of living, while others
those who do not succeed-stay in
side their customary limits.
In these prophetic days there have
been some startling revelations.
Men and women who have never
done anything. and did not suppose
they could do anything that was not
habitual and commonplace. have
been startled into activity and sur
prised into successful enterprise.
When all the world was in motion
they were compelled to move. and
when their one talent was demanded
they threw 1t into the common treas
ury. and 10! it became two.

FIRST NAVAL TRAINING POST
Was Established at Boston, Largely
Through Efforts of Commodore
William cambridge.

The first naval school in the United
States was established at the old Bos-
ton navy yard more than a century
ago, the founder being Commodore
Bainbridge. who is known as the "Fa-
Their of American Naval Construction"
and who was born in Princeton, y. J.
Bainbridge was captured by the
French in 179S, during the naval on
ficts between that country and the
United States, and in 1902 he was
held a prisoner for nine months by
the Tripolitan pirates.
He fought CALAMITY in the last "a
between America and England, and
after its conclusion induced the Wash
ington authorities to open a training
school for officers at Boston. In 1910.
some years after the death Of the
founder Of American naval education,
a naval school was opened in the old
naval asylum in Philadelphia, and here
for a few years the midshipmen Of
the republic were instructed in the
arts of warfare on the sea. The plan
was so successful that it was decided
to open a permanent naval academy.
Annapolis, Md, was chosen as the site
of the school and there the present
United States Naval academy was
formally opened.

So long as government was conduct
ed exclusively by a throne and aris-
tocracy. the ruling class was con-
strained to speak n language. that Of
the court and OF polite society. All
cultivated people in the land were edu-
Gated in the same literary tongue,
which was naturally used in official
transactions.
The uneducated classes talked their
own dialects and cared little what
their rulers spoke. They have not al
ways objected even when these men
affected a foreign culture. Frederick
the Great thought himself a French
litterateur and spelled his name like a
Frenchman. But when popular cleo
tons were introduced. and still more
when primary schools became univer-
sal. the question of language assumed
a far greater Importance. A. Lawrence
Towel writes in the Independent, New
York. Then the matter of race was
brought to the forefront.

APPEALS TO EUROPEAN EYES
Picturesque Island of Zanzibar Has
a Charm Possessed by Few Other
Places In Africa.

The little island Of Zanzibar Is one
Of the most picturesque places In At
rica-one Of the few places Of the
dark continent that is picturesque at
all. That Is because 1t is an old,
historic island, with traces Of van
ished peoples, accretions Of old Gus
toms, memorials Of forgotten events.
The greater part Of Africa is priml-
tive, nature in a state Of nature. and
nature Is magnificent, beautiful awe
inspiring. terrifying, but rarely pic
turesque. The latter is a ~characteri-
zation Of the works Of man, which
comes to them with time. The frame
is what makes the picture, and It is
only man who builds frames.
The narrow streets of Zanzibar, the
massive carven doorways, the stern
old houses, the time-worn markets, the
crooked. mysterious alleyways. the
riot Of color and the babel of tongues,
the still heat that throws over 1t all an
Illusion Of vagueness like a play seen
on the stage, make a picture that will
remain fresh In the memory for years.
The island is set like a fiuted emerald
in a green sea, with a still blue sky
burning changeless overhead. In the
past Zanzibar was the home Of all the
wonder and cruelty Of the East, set
tied and harried by the Arab and Mos
lem traders from Egypt and Turkey,
Today it is a British p~rotectorate,
with a fgurehead sultan, who spends
much Of his time and money in Euro
pean travel.

APPLICANTS FOR FIRST AID
CERTIFICATES, TAKE NOTICE

Apparently without knowledge Of
the rules and precedents governing
procedure in the American Red Cross
organizations. some persons, doubtless
with the best Of intentions, have or
ganized themselves into classes for
training, designed to render them fit
to afford first aid service. either to
themselves or TO other persons in need
Of such help. and having pursued
courses of training chosen by them
selves. have then applied to division
headquarters OF the northwestern di-
vision for certificates of fitness.
OF course, II devOlves upon the di-
v~isional officers of the organization to
decline to furnish these certificates as
requested, entirely apart from all con-
sideration of the fitness Of the persons
making application and simply because
Of the deviation from the required pro-
cedure involved in such cases.
First aid organizations regularly au-
tborized by the American Red Cross
secure their official identity by con-
forming strictly to the directions given
by the chairmen Of the chapters in
which such units are formed, and in no
other way. Full information as to the
proper method Of procedure in this be-
half is o~btainable at all times at chap
ter headquarters. 1t would be we'll,
therefore, for persons who have be-
come members Of first aid units that
have not been duly authorized, to effect
valid organization of their respective
units without delay and thereafter to
apply for certificates, with their Gre
dentials duly validated.
1t will be a special pleasure of the
official organizations Of the American
Red Cross. at all times, to facilitate, in
every way, the realization Of the de-
sire of all fit applicants to render first
aid service. and TO grant certificates
asked whenever applicants be found
qualified for the work.

DAYS OF OLD RECALLED
BY VISIT OF PIONEERS
Pathfinder of West Again Travels Over
~OregOn Trail" After Interval of
SeVenty-TwO Years.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. NJ. Blakeley of
Pendleton, Oregon, are spending an
enforced vacation Of several days in
American Falls. They were on the
way to Yellowstone park when their
car broke down about ten miles from
this city, leaving it in such shape that
several days were required to put it
into serviceable form again. The
Oregon tourists were travelling over
the old Oregon trail as far as possible
and an inquiry from Mr.. Blakeley as
to the location of the pioneer monu-
ment led to the disclosure that he had
Travelled through this section of Idaho
in 1916, when he was a boy of six years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blakeley are we'll ac-
quainted with Ezra Meeker, the ia
nous pathfinder, and he had told them
about the pioneer monument here.
In telling of the journey crO the
plains in his boyhOod Mr.. Blakeley
gave the following narrative:
His parents. James and Sarah
Blakeley were natives of Knoxville,
Tennessee, who in the '3Os moved to
Missouri, where the narrator was born
in 1910. In April, 1916, the family
joined an oxteam emigrant train and
started for the Oregon country" the
fame Of which had reached the east.
Six or seven wagons were in the out
fit, and some of the incidents of the
journey are well remembered by Pho
neer Blakeley. 1t was customary
when night approached and camp was
made TO form the wagons into a circle,
the tongue of each wagon attached to
the rear of another, thus forming a
barrier not too easily surmounted.
In the enclosed circle the women OF
the emigrant train would be busy
cooking supper while the men at
tended to the gathering of fuel and
