MARRIAGE OF DEAF MUTEs.
Lack Of Speech Does Not Necessarily
Mean "Nc Disagreement"

T What blessing a dumb wife must
be!'' a synical sufferer from the lash
ings of his wife's tongue remarked the
other day Home with a woman who
can not nag must be a haven OF peace
and happiness"
AS the secretary of the Royal Asso
citation in Aid of the Deaf and Dumb
explained 70 the writer, however, il Is
not correct 10 imagine that because a
couple are deaf and dumb their union
is always an ideal one in that they
never quarrel AS q matter OF fact,
they can and do say some very nasty
things to each other, atho all noise
is eliminated and -gesticulation substi-
tuted. The only escape the husband or
wife has. should they wish to termi-
or. If it be nighttime. 20 put out the
light.
Il sometimes hapens that dumb
man marries a speaking wife, and vice
versa In such cases the speaking
partner may be said to have an advan-
tage when the rift in the lutte causes an
exchange Of hard words. For he or she
can supplement the sign language with
words, which the afflicted one may I'M
derstand by lip reading.
Generally speaking. however" my
informant continued. marriages be-
tween deaf and dumb people prove
very happy. They have usually devel-
open a patience, arising from their
affllction, which stands them in gooq
stead during their married life. And
altho marriages between the deaf and
dumb are on the increase, 1t Is not Of
ten that their differences become SO
acute as to necessitate outside inter-
ference"
Another interesting and much de-
bated point In regard to marriages be-
tween the deaf and dumb arises In re-
gard to the children of such marriages.
In the majority OF cases children
born to deaf and dumb parents are IN
no way affected, and have the use OF

ARE STANDING AT
THE CROSS ROADS,
SAYS PRESIDENT
The Way to Internationa
Peace Has Only Been
Pointed Out

LONDON, July IA peace mes
sage from President Wilson to The
Daily Mail and The Weekly Dispatch
is printed in the latter publication.
1t follows:
"Many things crowd into the mind
to be said about the Peace Treaty,
but the thought that stands out in
front of all othersis that by the terms
of the treaty the greatest possible
measure of compensation has been
provided for peoples whose homes
and lives were wrecked by the storm
of war, and security has been given
them that the storm shall not arise
again.
Insofar as we came together to in
sure these things the work of the
Conference is finished, but in larger
sense it's work begins today. In ans
wer to an unmistakable appeal, the
League of Nations has been consti-
tuted and a covenant has been drawn
which shows the way to international
understanding and peace.
ave stand at the crossroads, how
ever, and the way is only pointed out.

UNION TRANSFER
COMPANY STARTS
AUTO BUS Line
Covers Summerville, Pad
docks Village and Main
Street of Town

"Trolley cars? We don't have 'em
here. Take the bus"
That's the new local transporta-
tion slogan.
The Union Transfer Company's on-
nibus line is working. Efforts are
being made this week to get the
time schedule going smoothly. The
endeavor is being made to run a
specially constructed car through the
principal streets of the town every 30
minutes and get the public to utilize
it as they would trolley car.
The starting point is going to be
Arnold Park at the northern end of
Main street. The bus will go down
Main street to Eastern Avenue, down
the hill to Railroad street. 1t will
turn north on Railroad street and
cross the river into Paddock Village.
At Concord Ave. and Portland streets
in Summerville it will turn and re-
trace its route, climbing Eastern
Avenue hill again but turning south
ward on Main street, down Western
Avenue to the Fairbanks shops.

From Mire to Blossom

The dead leaves, their rich mosaics
Of olive and gold and brown,
Had laid on the rain-wet pavement,
Through all the EMPOWERED town.
They were washed by the autumn tempest,
They were trod by hurrying feet,
And the maids came out with their besoms
And swept them into the street,
To be crushed and lost forever.
Meath the wheels In the black mire lost;
The summers precious darlings,
She nurtured at such cost
o words thar have fallen from me!
0 golden thoughts and true!
Must see in the leaves a symbol
Of the fate which awaiteth your

A Sock SONG

In 'sock song contest held by a
New York paper, these verses won the
prize.
Dear boy of mine, far off in France, I'm
sending you today
Four pair of socks just finished, and this lit
tie note to say
I've knitted into every row some happy
thought of you,
And all the funny little things you used to
say and do.
I've knitted in some laughter at your halt
ing schoolboy French
(Also mental picture of you shaving in a
trenchD
I've knitted in your childish face all berry
stained and brown,
Your little ankles scratched With thorns,
one trouser leg way down
I've tucked away down by the toe moth
er's sacred prayer
Please. God, protect my boy tonight and
Guard him Over There!

FoCh Made Germans Beg

London is laughing over the story re-
garding Marshal Foch's reception of the
German white flag party. According to
this account, when the delegates arrived
they announced they had come to discuss
terms of an armistice that the associated
government proposed.
Foch regarded them with blank stare
can armisticef l know nothing of a pro-
posed armistice.'' he is said to have de-
clared.
The delegates appeared dumfounded.
They explained that Germany had accepted
President Wilson's fourteen points and
they understood that an armistice had been
arranged.
eve are not proposing an armistice, re-
piled the French commander-in-chief. "I
don't know what you are talking about
'But we have come to secure an armis-
tice," the spokesman of the German party
protested.
''Oh," said Foch, ''you have come to
beg for an armistice.'
"Well," the German hesitated, 81 sup
pose you might put it that way
The official record is said to contain this
line: "The German delegates then beg
ged for an armistice. ''-Sel.

To General Pershing

You led our sons across the haunted food
Into the Canaan of their high desire
No milk and honey there, but tears and
blood
Flowed where the hosts of evil trod in
fire
And left worse than desert where they
passed.
Your eyes were clear to see the snares
that lay
Before those boyish feet that marched so
Your heart and hands were strong to
clear the way.
Charged with great cares, your soul did
not forget
The anxious women here across the
AS might father for his own, you met
And fought an older foe than Germany.
Now, now at last, back from the silenced
guns,
Crowned by Our blessings you shall lead
our sons!

out of the floor of ice, and rope, that is
fastened around large cake near the en-
trance, we are able to descend to the opposite
side While standing there, about ready
to go back out of the cave, a. the cold is
severe and our teeth are chattering, we hear
voices coming from below and beyond. A
persons head emerges from an opening,
close to the floor and hardly high enough
for person to squeeze thru on their stom-
ach. with great deal of squirming the per-
son finally crawls thru, followed BY several
others. They inform us that there is lar
ger cave beyond.
Crawling into the next cave, we find it
nearly twice as large as the first and Ger
tainty twice as cold. The floor of this cave
descended even more rapidly than in the
other one. Descending, by way of steps
and rope again, to the other side, we real
ize that we are at least sixty feet below the
surface of the earth. Several small caves
lead off and downfrom this one, making
II seem as though there was no limit to the
depth Of the ice. A very surprising fact
was that there did not seem to be any &C.
tive deteriorating process in the ice such as
one would expect to find in the terrific heat
of July.
Coming out of the caves and going dis
lance of fifty feet, we find several more
holes or deep depressions in the earth, are
visible. Upon examining the nearest one,
we are unable to find ice but cold draughts
of air come up through cracks in the rocks,
leading one to believe that there must be
ice here, also. The other pits or depres-
sions are of greater length and form an il
regular line like an old river bed. One con-
cludes that river has followed a course
through here at some remote time. Some
swift, ferocious mountain stream, coming
from the mountain beyond, has cut its way
thru the soft lava rocks, tearing and wear
ing its way to the lower country. In some
places rushing madly along on the surface
of the earth and burrowing far beneath the
rocks. finally losing itself deep in the
bowels of the earth. Then abruptly chang
ing its course, by some new work of the
Creator, has left these subterranean passages.
That these changes were great while ago,
is evident, liz number of the holes, trees
have grown up showing, by their size, sew
eral hundred years growth. That ice form
ed and still reruains, in a mountaineering
state. is accounted for by the presence of
ammonia in some form.
But, even considering these explanations,
what could be more strange or freakish
than in finding, to-day, an oasis of ice in a
desert landf A huge mass of ice buried be-
meath the rocks, like stolen treasure, hid
den by the cunning hand of God.

forest short distance, we suddenly discover
several automobiles and number of peo-
pie, sitting around ice-cream freezers, eat
ing ice-cream. Naturally, you will think
you are the victim of mirage or some asy-
lum has opened its doors for it would be
hard to imagine sane people selecting a
place such as this for picnic As the dust
is nearly choking us and the sight of ice
cream very likely overcomes the fear of
violence, we proceed and find this curious
work of nature.
Not far from the picnic, large hole in
the ground is seen, having the appearance
of an open mine. At the top it is about
fifty feet in diameter and nearly circular in
shape. A glance over the edge shows that
it has depth of about twenty-five feet.
There are many large rocks lying around
the sides and hanging on one another,
seemingly ready to crash to the bottom at
the slightest jar. One moves rather care
fully for fear of disturbing them. On one
of the sides is narrow zig tagging path de-
scending to the bottom. We pick up some
pine knots we'll filled with pitch and 90
down the path. On reaching the bottom a
cold blast of air strikes US and we discover
small opening in the rocks from which the
cold air issues. Lighting the pine knots
we crawl thru the opening and find our
selves in cave.
Looking around by the light of our torch,
we see that the walls, ceiling aud floor are
solid masses of ice. The cave is about ff-
teen feet square with ceiling varying from
five to ten feet in height. We congratu-
late ourselves on taking a light with
US for another step and our feet would
have slid from under us and we would have
landed some nfteen feet further on in heap
as the floor descended very rapidly toward
the opposite side of the entrance. Huge
pieces of ice jutted out in irregular forms
from the sides and ceiling. Some were al
most black in color and some transparent,
giving off all the brilliant colors of a rain
bow from the light of the blazing knots.
By the aid of steps, that have been hewn

A Prayer IN Time of War

A Prayer IN Time of War
Those whose deep ways are In the sea,
Whose footsteps are not known,
Tonight world has turned from Thee
Is waiting st-Thy Throne.
The towering Babels that we raised
Where scoffing sophists brawl,
The little Antichrists we praised
The night is on them all.
The fool hath said. The fool hath said.
And we who deemed him wise,
We, who believed that Thou vast dead.
How should we seek Thine eyes?
How should we seek to Thee for power,
Who scorned Thee yesterday
How should we kneel in this dread houri
Lord, teach US how to pray.
Grant us the single heart once more
That mocks no sacred thing,
The sword of Truth our fathers wore
When Thou vast Lord and King.
Let darkness unto darkness tell
Our deep unspoken prayer:
For, while our souls in darkness dwell,
We know that Thou art there:

The Busy Duck

A duck when first he saw the sea
Cried, "This must all belong to me-
To move it to his duck-yard pan
He took a beakful and began.
He was too busy far to swim,
So light thought unworthy him.
From dawn to dark he padded fast
Because the sea was wet and vast.
His legs grew thin, his mind distrait.
His mother cried, "What is it, pray?"
"Oh, mother, do not bother me;
I'm busy bringing home the sea-
And then one day he ceased to swim,
l: quite refreshed and changed him.
''It is not good to move the sea;
I'll leave it where it is" said he.
So now he rides upon the waves
And knows that ducks should not be slaves
He contemplates the boundless sea
And thinks, "This all belongs to me!''

It Takes So Little

ust sighting word or doubling sneer,
Just a scornful smile on some lips held
dear;
And our footsteps lag though the goal
seemed near,
And we lose the courage and hope we
had
So little it takes to make us sad.
1t takes so little to make us glad.
Just a cheering clasp of friendly hand,
Just word from one who can understand;
And we finish the task we long had
planned.
And we lose the doubt and the fear we
had
So little it takes to make us glad.

'T'll keep little tavern
Below the high hills crest,
Wherein all gray-eyed people
May sit them down and rest.
There shall be plates a-plenty,
And mugs to melt the chill
Of all the gray-eyed people
Who happen up the hill.
There sound will sleep the traveller
And dream his journeys end,
But will rouse at midnight
The falling fire to tend.
Aye, tbs curious fancy
But all the good l know
Was taught me out of two gray eyes
A long time ago.

Loftier Race Is COMING

These things shall be. loftier race
Then ever the world hath known shall rise
They shall be gentle, brave and strong
To spill no drop of blood but dare
All that may plant mans lordship firm
On earth, and fire, and sea, and air.
Nation with nation, land with land.
Unarmed shall live as comrades free;
In every heart and brain shall throb
The pulse of one fraternity.
New arts shall bloom of loftier mold,
And mightier music fill the skies,
And every life shall be song,
When all the earth is paradise.

His worldwide empire now is dust,
But left behind is-Pain.

My Wish

Let me be little kinder, let me be little
binder
To the faults of those about me; let me
praise little more;
Let me be when am weary, Just little
bit more CHEEKY;
Let me serve a little better those that I
am striving for;
Let me be little Drawer, when temptation
bids me waver;
Let me strive little harder to be all
that should be;
Let me be little meeker with the brother
that is weaker;
Let me think more of my neighbor and
little less of me.
