GREAT DAY IN CHlLD'S LIFE
Syracuse Youngster VIII Never Forget His Meeting With His Hero,
 Theodore Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt, the man who made and held strong friendships among men, was beloved by children. He loved them and they admired him, made a hero of him.
 When he was at Syracuse, during the famous Barnes libel trial, citizen sitting on his veranda, saw Roosevelt riding by for his accustomed exercise, and called to his wife, "There goes Theodore Roosevelt on horseback" The six-year-old son of the house was in the bathtub when he heard the an nouncement, and rushed downstairs without waiting to dress, to see his hero pass. His father told the story at a reception that night, and the colonel said: Bring that boy to me I want to see him." So the boy was brought, and for half an hour sat on the knee of his idol, listening to sto- ries of life in the West, of Indians and grizzlies and African lions, and 1t has been said that when he was taken home, in state of mental in- toxication, he had grown an inch in height.

SCHOOL tFOUR-M1NUTE
 MEN"

When the Four Minute Men were appointed by the United States Gov ernment to deliver speeches on sub jects connected with the war, the boys of the High School of Commerce in. Boston took up the idea and be came four minute men to their class mates.
 Thrift proved subject directly in line with the policies of the school, and did much to increase investment in War Savings Stamps. Some of the arguments presented by these future financiers are good for grown-ups too:
 Before the war Americans were wasters. They did not seem to know the value of q reserve fund. Today the large majority of the people in this country are saving. But they do not save enough. There may be soon a reversal of the money situa- tion of America. Where there IS plenty now, there may be need, and Americans must store the wealth of their nation for the future. To invest it is better than to hoard it.
 War Savings Stamps have all the backing of the Governmental that guarantees the billions of dollars in- vested in Liberty Bonds, safety. The War. Savings Stamps, costing less than four and quarter dollars at the most, yield better than 4 per cent. as the interest is compounded quarter ly, and the principal is due in 1924 Buy War Savings Stamps and help your government while you help your self"

CASH FROM TRASH
What One Careful Housewife Dis
 covered.

Quite as thrilling a story as any Luther Burbank has to tell was told by Mrs. Edmund M. Parker at re- cent meeting of the Cambridge, Mass. branch of the Special Aid Society for American Preparedness. Besides be- ing chairman of the Speakers Bureau of the Special Aid, Mrs. Parker holds the same office in the Savings Divi- sion of New England. It was in this latter capacity that she had secured Mrs. F. L. Higginson, director of the division, and Mrs. H. Parker Whit tington, director of the Salvage Bureau which has been organized for the Division, to address the previous meeting of the Special Aid.
 Now Mrs. Parker is a good house. keeper, but after she listened to those two speakers she went home and set to work. Old newspapers and a lot of pasteboard boxes, in one of which was a collection of old calling cards saved from the days before there was a Social Register, and magazines too old to be given to anybody, were her first finds" In the basement were boxes of rusty nails, several hand bells, old bicycle chains, padlocks and keys that fitted nothing.
 Everything was gathered together and then a Salvage" card was put in the window. Soon there was a call from an excited junkman, who said the Salvage Bureau told him he was to pay for junk with Thrift Stamps whenever he saw that sign He offered thirty cents for sixty old bottles: the zinc in an old ice box brought ten cents. In all he left $1 worth of Thrift Stamps behind him.
 Encouraged Mrs. Parker searched her bookcases, and harvested $1175 from them. A box of discarded and broken silver brought $10.58, and by the additional investment of Liberty Bond coupons Mrs. Parker secured in one month s44 in Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
 Because of associations an old watch had been kept, but now the country needs the gold, and what would not be given over for personal gain is to be offered upon the altar of country's need. When the youth of the nation gave freely of their lives, i: is a small thing, Mrs Parker says, to give to that same cause arti- cles which have outlived their useful ness and are mere reminders of days that are past.

REMINISCENT OF OLD DAYS
Braganza Castle, Home of PortugaPs Kings, Still Interesting, Although
 Partly in Ruins.

In the tableland of the Traz-os Montes district in Portugal lies the once famous city of BraganZa. It is the seat of the royal house of Bra ganza, from which came all the kings of Portugal since the time of the first Duke Alphonso de Portugal, in HAP. Braganza is still the most important city on the frontier between Spain and Portugal and noted for its manu- facture of silks and velvets.
 The most important thing in Bra. ganza, however is the ancestral home of the kings of Portugal, the magnifi- cent castle that crowns the heights of the town. It is a splendid example of the fortress of medieval times, and while partly in ruins it is quite we'll preserved and considered the most perfect remaining stronghold in Por- tugal with the exception of the noted Villa de Feira, near the town of Oporto.
 The old Braganza castle Is reminis- cent of the days when soldiers fared forth in blouses of metal instead of wool, and horses were known as chargers and girls were damoiselles.
 The central keep of the castle is completely surrounded by a moat, and Is absolutely inaccessible except by an ancient drawbridge.
 It is easy when visiting the castle at twilight for the imagination to people 1t with the crusaders who used to throng these crumbling courtyards. banquet in the rough stone halls, and pay court to the fair princesses of the royal house of Portgual.
 The castle was practically rebuilt by the second king of Portugal on the foundations of the ancient fortress erected by Alfonso Henrique, and it still shows, all the details of the art of defense in days before artillery methods of warfare were known.

The French government is arranging for the construction of sacred road" 400 miles long, from the coast of Elan ders to Alsace. It is proposed that this road should follow, as far as may be found practical, the actual line on which the contending armies faced each other for three years.
