dent; indeed, there fs a wealth of ro-
nance in the history Of Inventions.
But the greatest mental stimulus of
all is refusing to admit that the given
thing is perfect. No matter how good
it is; no matter how apparent its per-
lection seems, or how long it may
have existed in tits present shape-it
can and it must be improved. Tha
makes for progress. The Scientific
American tells of another inventor
who refused to consider the violin as
a perfected instrument, despite the
fact that it has not changed its form
in the last 800 years or more. Not
dong ago he brought out q new type
of violin that met with instant sue
cess. Another man believed that shoes
are far from perfect. Why should
they not be ventilated? Physicians
say that lack of air accounts for most
foot troubles. Why not let the feet
breathe? The man went to work ant
finally perfected a simple shoe venti
lator. The true inventor takes moth
ing for granted. Perfection, to his
way of thinking, is only a compare
tive term. His job is to make 'per
feet" things still more perfect

QUEER MYTH ABOUT WILSON
Belief in Austria That President of the
United States Is Really Crown
Prince Rudolph.

According to the Vienna Journal, a
serious newspaper, the rural popula-
ton of large districts of the provinces
of Lower Austria and Syria never be-
lieved in the death of Crown Prince
Rudolph Of Austria, who was assas-
sinated In the castle of Meyerling, near
Baden, together with Countess Wees
cera in 1885,.
The people refused to accept this Of
fetal statement, and their suspicion
was nourished at the time by the fact
that the coffin of the crown prince at
the funeral was extremely small, while
the crown prince himself was a power
full man.
The story went that the crown
prince had really not been murdered
at all. but that he had fled across the
big pond.
Ever since the war there is a grow.
ing belief among the rural population
that the crown prince, who, as will
be remembered. was addicted to scien-
tific researches. is identical with Prof.
Woodrow Wilson, president of the
United States of America.
The remarkable thing is that there
is an evident optimism as the future
of Austria connected with the legend,
for the people say it Is plain that Will
son being Crown Prince Rudolph, will
not let his beloved Austria perish.

OF special interest to golf players is
a club made with a steel instead Of a
hickory shaft, shown in Popular Me-
chanics magazine which, it is claimed,
possesses all the tlexibility of the
wooden shaft and has additional desir-
able features. The steel shaft Is hol-
low, tapers toward the lower end, and
is much smaller in diameter than one
of hickory. This is said to give the
player additional driving power, be-
cause of reduced friction when the
club is swung through the air.

In spite of the complex arguments of

| Do you realize, you who read this,
what that, spirit is that this organiza-

I'll give you an example of 1t that

| A shattered church in the Marine sa-
lient during the latter part of July: 1t
was filed with freshly-wounded on
stretchers. The shells were whining
| over and bursting about 1t. A slim,
big-eyed, very boyish boy was brought
In all shot to pieces. He was very
ordinary American boy, certainly not
more than eighteen. A medical ma
jor was passing.
"Hey. doc" the young fellow called
weakly.
"What is II, SOM" the major asked,
bending above him.
"Tell me, doc" the boy begged hus-
klly. Am lam bad hit?"
The major looked at the descriptive
slip with which the wounded boy was
tagged and hesitated. He knew the
young fellow had less than half an
hour of life left in him.
"Well, I'll tell you, son." he said
slowly. you're in a pretty bad way,
but we're going to do all we can for
you"
The boy-who was a very ordinary
young fellow, as have said--saw the
truth under the thin camoufage of
kindness.
He knew he was dead. He caught
his breath quickly, closed his eyes,
and reaching up, caught hold Of the
majors hand and held it tight for
a little time.
Then he sighed, opened his eyes, and
folded his arms contentedly on his
breast. He looked up at the major,
and there was the Calm light of glad
resignation on his face.
"WelI, anyhow" he whispered tri-
umphantly, II guess l made good
didn't II"
you sure did, son." the major as
sured him.
The boy smiled again and died,
happy in the knowledge that he had
made good in his personal obligation
to establish the principles of justice,
freedom and democracy.
That's the spirit that the American
Legion wants to crystalline, TO perpet-
uate, to preserve and translate into

All Have RIaht to Success.

Every normal individual is an in
heritor of success; it is his birthright.
When one fails to grasp his full por-
ton he is going contrary to natures
laws, just as sure as does the man who
ruins his prospects by liquor or opium
or evil associates. Nearly every hu.
man being is born into the world a
success, and he continues to be a sue
cess until he, knowingly or unknow-
ingly, opposes the general laws Of the
world. Such evasions as 'lack of
time," mo money" mo opportunity -
are shameful, they are unnatural. they
are untrue, and they increase the popu-
latien in the community of failures.-

Bird in Need Found Friend.

A North side resident saw a robin
fiuttering around in his back yard
with what he thought was a broken
wing. Realizing that the cats would
soon make short work, he caught the
robin, intending to get it out of harms
way. On investigation he found that
instead of broken wing 1t had be-
come entangled in piece of string o
yard or two long.
How it had done this was a mystery,
unless 1t had been getting the string
for a nest. 1t was wrapped around the
birds neck three or four times, around
one wing several times, and its feet
were tied as securely as though the
hand of man had done 1t. A few min
utes' work with the scissors soon freed
the bird, and it took wing, singing as
It went.-Indianapolis News.

I Animals Are Tourists

As a refuge from inclement weather
california has long been the winter
playground for thousands, but 1t is
only recently that cattle and sheep
have joined the tourist ranks, accord
ing to Popular Mechanics magazine.
Naturally this winter resorting of COM
mon range stock is not specially altru-
istic, but is inspired by good business
motives. California pastures afford
more economical winter feed, and the
sheep go through the lambing season
with far less loss. With all the de-
vices of tents and Landing wagons
bad weather often takes half the in
crease in lambs. So change of climate
is really an economical measure, with
the recent prices for early lambs.

Find Shells in EnoIIsh Gardens

Talking Of raids, the task of the sub
urban gardener is likely to provide a
little supplementary excitement during
the next few seasons. While digging
in his garden the other day a resi-
dent of Manor Park unearthed a load
ed shell. During 1917 and the first
few months of last year an enormous
quantity Of ammunition was fired by
the barrage guns in the London dis
trict. An uncertain proportion of this
consisted Of "duds," which, when they
did no material damage, were buried

Even If there should be a good sea-

because the seeding of 1918 was lost
in a great many sections through
drought. 1t is desirable, therefore,
that maximum seed crop be produced
If possible. The method of controlling
this clover flower nudge is to destroy
the larvae of the first brood. The
adults that have lived over winter
will lay their eggs in the flowers of the
first crop of red clover. These adults
do not live very long, and If the first
crop can be kept from producing bloom
when the adults are flying, or if the
blooms can be cut before the larvae
mature, there will be very few, if any,
adults to attack the second or seed
crop of red clover. Details in regard
to this matter can be found in Farm
ers' Bulletin 971.
Seed From June Clover.
1t is sometimes desired to get seed
from the first crop of June clover, and
this may be done by pasturing the
clover heavily enough to keep down
the bloom until the latter part of May.
At this time the stock may be taken
off; and, in that case, the June clover
will seed at about the same time as
the mammoth unually does. However,
the common practice is to take crop

POULTRY PRIMER

An illustrated publication,
Farmers Bulletin 1Q40s is now
available, which deals with the
fundamentals underlying the
production of poultry. By the
use of many appropriate pic
lures. the principles of poultry
keeping are impressed on the
reader.
Under Selecting the Breed"
for example, photographs are
shown of the more popular
breeds of each of the three main
classes of poultry, giving the
reader an immediate and COM
plete idea of the appearance of
these fowls, the classes to which
they belong, and their economi-
cal usefulness. In like manner
other essential phases Of poul-
try keeping are illustrated and
discussed.
Throughout the bulletin ref
erences are given to other pub
locations issued by this depart
ment which give more detailed
information on each of the sub
jects discussed and which may
be obtained on request.

Miss Oppenheim was charged with
the task of distributing a contribu-
ton of toys which accompanied one
of the clothes shipments sent recently
to the Holy land by the Palestine sup

distributed to the kindergartens, the
