which shows distinctly the ruins OF an
ancient city extending 20 miles along

Honey s2.1 Per Cent of Normal.

The honey crop of the United States
was 92.l per cent Of normal on July
1, according to the estimates Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Reports to the bureau Of crop
estimates warrant the estimate that
the yield Of surplus honey per colony
was 25.S pounds and that about one
half of the annual product per-cDicny
was realized by July l. The high cGa-
nitiOn OF 92.l per cent :f normal on
July this year compares with G6.7 In
1918 and 1868 iu 1917.

Cryptic Cable.

For smartness the following will be
hard to beat: A well-knOwn person
age In Devonshire. England, received
cable from his soldier son In Meso-
potamia containing only three words :
1.-TWO John twelve" After much puz-
zling the meaning dawned upon him.
Taking down his Bible he turned up
the Second Epistle Of st. John and
read the twelfth verse, which runs as
follows: Having many things to
write unto you, would not write with
paper and ink, but trust to come
unto you and speak face to face. that
our Joy may be full" His son was on
his way home to England.

Use ssr Surplus Munitions.

An interesting suggestion has been
made by . prominent Swiss meteorot-
ogist and physicist, n. De Quervnin Of
Zurich. TO the effect that the vast
stores Of munitions collected In the bel
ligerent countries during the last four
years be utilized to advance the cause
OF science instead Of being merely fir-
ed of to make q Roman holiday, or
else sunk In deep waters to avoid the
latent dangers which reside In them.
BY detoning these explosives In defin-
ite quantities. at definite places, and
at definite times whose dates are an.
nounced in advance, possibility
would be presented for the solution Of
many interesting problems in physics
and meteorOlOgy. The project might
advantageously be carried out In this
country.

Rat skIns for Leather.

The suggestion has been made that
the rat problem might be best solved
by making use Of the skins Of the
rodents for the purpose Of leather.
Somebody with the gift Of guessing
computes that there are 100000 In
this country. and the damage they do
would feed good-sized army. II
would take at least 5000 skins a day
to supply a small modern tannery.
Nobody wants the rats, they belong
to- anybody that can catch them.
That Is the prOblem--to catch them.
and then deliver the goods. There Is
not enough leather to go around.
Fish skins are susceptible Of tan
ming, and there are rat skins which
make good leather. large enough for
many purposes.

Wages for wives were turned down
by an audience largely of women here
the other night after n debate on
whether husbands should be required
to pay such wages. says the Phlludel-
phia Evening Bulletin.
One speaker drew a dismal picture
OF the future Of romance with wives
working for wages.
Imagine scene like this" he said:
Honey. do you love mel"
'Of course love you"
Then will you marry me?"
"Well. maybe. How much do you
pay?"
Suppose the wives were. to Join
the soviet OF waiters.up and charge
triple wages Tor waiting up nights FOR
husbands" he said
Imagine wife going into society
and being labeled n Sl5-a.week wife. A
woman can take last. year hat and
make II look like new. But when she
signed n contract for Sl5 u week there
would be no hiding II from the neigh.
bors."
Another speaker plerded that "wom.
on shall not be brough, down from her
pedestal as n queen and made mere
employee Of man" In depicting the
future OF romance under the wage sys.
tenn lie nIti the marriage ceremony
would have tn he revised To read:

pay thee Sl5 n week by the aid OF the

Notices like the following he pre-
dicted would be published:
'Marr.ed-.Iohn Brown and Mary
Smith. by Rev. Russell II. Conweli.
They viii live In Logan and the wife's
wages will be Sl5 u week"
Scenes like the following In court
were forecast:

THE POWER BEHIND

In the period of Americas par
ticipation in the world war, the
American Red Cross came to be
known as the army behind the army
1t now becomes the army behind the
movements Of the greater welfare
OF humanity in time of peace-the
intense, moral, pushing force that
shall back up and inspire activities
designed to improve the health and
general living conditions of all the
people.
The power OF the Red Cross is
derived from its concentration Of the
spirit Of a whole nation in an actual
physical organization. During the
war the thing that aroused the won
der Of the rest of the world in con-
nection with the relief work car
ried on by the American Red Cross,
was not the vast sums contributed
for the aid Of the suffering, but the
all-embracing character of the or
~yyanization that subscribed these
funds. A relatively few persons
might have given the hundreds of
millions of dollars that were used
to finance the relief work in ques-
ton, but the great moral effective
ness would not have been the same.
1t was the spirit and heart of m
tp I'm IN
the work that counted.
If the concentrated spirit and
heart of America could accomplish
what it did among many peoples in
the time of war, what can the same
power not achieve, for its own peo-
pie in particular, when organized on
a peace basis? The first essential
to the success Of any far-reaching |
movement is public sentiment The |,
Red Cross with a membership OF |
millions, gives public sentiment !.
physical organism. 1t is the medium !
that insures expression in terms of
positive action. Public sentiment to-
day demands those things which
mean better health and happier
homes, and registered under the
Red Cross emblem it's ideals become
practical.
The Roll Call, November 2-11, is
for all American men and women.
Answer Here! by becoming'a a Red
Cross member for another year. VII

WOLF SHOWS REAL CUNNING
Stefansson Compares Him With the
Fox, to the Disadvantage Of
the Smaller Animal

The wisdom of the fox Is not 80 evil
dent as the saying is widespread, but
the more see of wolves the more
respect ! have for their intelligence,
which is unique among the nonhuman
inhabitants Of the North.
The second day on the new land
met a wolf that came running toward
me at first. for he could not fail to
mistake me at a" distance for a carl
bou. but when he got within two
hundred yards and could. see more
plainly he realized my ,strangeness
and, what is truly remarkable, In
ferred that might be dangerous
This wolf could certainly never have
seen a human being before. and the
only dark thing Of size comparable to
mine that he had ever seen must have
been either caribou or a muskox.
The caribou are his prey, and while
he seldom kills a muskox he at least
has no reason to fear that exceptional
~ clumsy and slow-mOving animal.
But at two hundred yards This wolf
paused and. after a good look that
satisfied him that was something new
in his experience, commenced to circle
me at that distance to get my wind.
When he got 1t it took him off at top
speed. The similarly unsophisticated
foxes Of this region will commonly
run within ten or fifteen yards Of you
and follow you around:for miles, bark
ing like toy dog following pedes-

UenIleneU.

Gentleness is natural element. To
train. restrain or subdue the character
SO that it will manifest this virtue Is
not to give to that character ther@le-
ment Of gentleness. The result will be
to tame but not to make gentle. When
one is able to control by watchfulness
his actions. so that they result in gen.
tlensss. he possesses something less
than gentleness. Gentleness must be
natural to be truly genuine. Where
love, latent, and fervent, abounds, that
is the sort Of soul that possesses gen.
heness. It is out Of the abundance Of the
heart that the mouth should speak. It
IL from the abundance Of the regener-
ate spirit that the soul shall unveil the
grace Of gentleness in myriad rela-
lions. Disposition, temper and manner
are in the province of this virtue. They
must possess it.-Christian 1ntelligen-

Be Sure Nov ~Are RIGHT.

It's a good thing to assure yourself
before taking important steps. Some
times you are too busy to give much
time to things. At other times you
may be too sure Of yourself. Both
cases are full Of calamity. To be sure
you may be able to do the right thing
by intuition and do it with haste. As
rule the great things Of life upon
which important matters hang take
time. You must know the facts If you
are to advise others. You must know
the facts to be able to make success
Of things. Remember it's not the
amount of energy you put into thing
that gets results. A locomotive out of
control is a mad thing Of unlimited en-
ergy. The very power Is the danger
1t must he regulated to make It useful.

MOMENT0US DAY IN HISTORY
Britain on Twenty-seventh Day
Of August.

. According to calculations carefully
made and that, at the least, estab-
lish probable case, August q Is the
anniversary Of the landing of Julius
Caesar in the island Of Britain.
In his wars that resulted in the con-
quest Of Gaul, or modern France, Jul
Illus Caesar kept journal, in which
he recorded all''his operations. He
called it, commentaries" and it has
been pronounced. to be perhaps the
best record Of campaigns ever writ
ten by q general in the field.
In the midst Of these operations he
found time to cross the channel and
pay Z military visit to the land known
now as England, but not so known
then, for the ancient Britons then in
habited the island. He states the year
Of that visit, which. according to our
calendar, was IS b. G. He also states
other facts which enabled the .calcu-
lation as, to month and day to be
made. j.. =,
Caesar in his journal, or "Comnen-
taries," relates that he set out on the
expedition when little Of summer re-
manned, when the people Of the south
of Britain are engaged in their har-
vest, and that after a stay Of three
weeks, he returned to Gaul before the
equinox. It is, therefore, concluded
that the day Of landing must have
been in August. . o.

Remarkable Thinness.

Prof. I. Perriu has made a study
Of soap bubbles-just the kind that
little folks blow with clay pipes-and
he announces that they are five MILL
micrOns thick. This means that 1t
would take more than five million
films Of a soap bubble to make one inch
Of thickness. While this Is getting
down pretty fine, still the elementary
leaflet of mica is finer. Mica can be
split down to thickness Of one mole
Guile, which Is thinner than the thick
ness Of the skin of a soap bubble.
which suggests that the latter must be
crystalline in structure. Just before
q soap bubble bursts dark spots form
on, 1T. He found that these housed still

TRUST TOO MUCH TO LUCK
Few Have Proper Preparation for
Work Which They Undertake
to Do in Life.

Many persons 60 through life for
long time with a veil. as it were, OBJ
securing their clear vision. They do not
understand life as it is; they prefer to
try to make of it what they think 1t
should be in order to satisfy their am
billions; they do not like the obstacles
that bar their paths; they want the
right Of way and cannot understand
why they may not always have it. 1t
Is difficult thing to make Roadway in
any undertaking when we are COM
PEELED to grope in the darkness and
feel our steps. We do our best, per-
haps, but even so we make mistakes
and set ourselves far back in our en-
deavors simply because We are not pre-
pared for the work in hand. No one
may even hope to accomplish really
worth while results unless he under
stands the needs Of the task In hand
and is prepared to meet them. Good
preparation is the foundation for our
lifework, and unless our foundations
are solid it is impossible to. build
strongly upon them for the future.
That Is why so many Of us make such
sorry failures of life. We have had
nothing on which to build. The
flimsy little base upon which we seek
to set our lifework is not large enough
to bear the hard strain Of earnest ef-
fort. 1t gives way under the first
heavy pressure and we find ourselves
in the dark. Again we begin to feel
our way and again we trust to luck to
get results that will be worth having.
