One would think that the American
people had had enough of drives to
raise money. To many 1t seems to
have been overdone. Like every other
effective method employer for raising
money there m the time when 1t
loses its appeal. This vas thought to
have been reached with the conclusion
of the Victory Liberty Loan campaign.
But no. The Methodists are conclud-
ing one very successfully, SO it would
appear, m for the round sum of
$140, 0OO, 1000. We are informed next
year the United Protestant churches
of the country are to have a monster
missionary drive. after the needs of
every country in the world, both home
and foreign, have been surveyed and
the needs noted and endorsed.
These are the days of big things.
Having emerged from q war whose
cost run up into the millions daily,
having raised for its prosecution enor-
NOUS sums that previous to the war
would have been deemed impossible,
We are no longer content to jog along
at our old, slow rate. The Woolworth
building stands in our metropolitan
city as an ever reminding monument
to the power of dimes and nickels
when properly harnessed. Team work,
even of things and folk more or less
powerless by themselves. wins out in
accomplishing great things. Ones
fifty or one hundred dollars cannot
bring much to pass until they are
stacked with the fifty and one hundred
dollars of one hundred million other
people, and hen they fairly cream
But there would seem to be a limit
to the fifty or one hundred dollars.
While 1t Is true that money was never
so plentiful, still 1t is true only OF
some. There are still more han ten
million people in the United States
who are either stepped In abject pow
erty OIL SO close to II that the loss of
a few days wages would plunge them
in the abyss. Then there is that large
middle class of salaried people, to
whom H. c.. l.. has been a veritable
nightmare, as they have watched the
prices Of necessities soaring and have
notice no appreciable increase in
their income. Then every business
man has not made money, either al
though many have enjoyed better sea-
sons than they have eve known be-
fore. For a while, the working class
received unheard Of wages; but the
days OF working under war pressure
have passed, and there is every indica-
ton of a fall in wages generally. SO
n may well ask in the vernacular
of the street, Where do we get Off
The plain truth Is, that while the
drives still seem to have success, the
American public is beginning to get
awfully tired of them.

Various Modes of Greeting.

Savages rarely osculate. The salu'
tatims of the Mongols, Malays, Poly
nesians, the Eskimos and Laplanders
consist chiefly of smelling each other
and rubbing noses; while in Tibet, in
stead of greeting by an adhesive touch,
the mode of snlutation consists of ex-
tending the tongue, but this is done
simply because the custom of the
country does not permit of any phys
ical contact. North American Indians
do not kiss excepting in the presence
Of death. when they profusely fondle
and kiss the feet Of their beloved de-
parted ones. The native Australian
and Fiji islanders salute with hug
like bear. The Celtic race is not
especially demonstrative and rarely
kiss in public unless it is in greeting
after long absence, then men very
rarely kiss each other and the women
are not over lavish with their mani
festatiOns Of devotion.

GAVE NAME TO NEW ENGLAND
Result o. Capt. Smiths Exploration
Of Shores Of "North Virginia" In
the Year 1914.

Capt. John Smith, famous for his
romantic career, particularly the PO-
cahOntas episode, Is generally assO-
ciated with Virginia, but he was also
the first to discover the beauties of
the southwestern half of the Maine
coast and the first to draw map OF
it, an exchange recalls. In 1914 he ex.
plored. the shores of what was then
known as North Virginia, but which
he called New England, name that
has stuck, as have many others given
by him.
In "A Description of New England"
printed in London in 1916, Smith
wrote II have seen at least forty sew
erall habitations on the Sea Coast and
found about 25 excellent good har-
bOrs. =" and more than 200 isles.
From Penobscot to SagadahOck this
Coast Is all Mountainous and Isles Of
huge Rocks, but overgrown with all
sorts of good woodes for building
houses, boats, banks or shippes: with
an Incredible abundance Of most sorts
of fish, much fowle and sundry sorts
of good fruites for mans use
The Salvages compare their store In
the Sea to the haires of their heads;
and surely there are an incredible
abundance upon this Coast. -
The most. Northern part was at was
the Bay of Penobscot, which is East
and West, North and South, more than
ten leagues"
The northeastern half of the Maine
coast was nut on the map by Cham
plain. Ten years before Smiths voy-
age he had visited Nova Scotia, dis
covered and named the ST. John river,
and cruised as far south as the mouth
of the Penobscot. which he, too. en-
tered.

NERVES THAT TIRE EASILY
Sense of Smell One That 10 Quickly
Fatiqued-Heat Nerves PractI-
caIIy Never At Rest.

The most easily tired nerves In the
body are the nerves Of smell. AS you
pass rose in the garden the guam
tity of perfume that gets into your
nostril must be many millions of bill
lion of times smaller than the tiniest
grain Of sand. But rub the strongest
perfume on your upper lip, and in a
few seconds you fail to notice it, the
nerve Of smell is so quickly fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves,
which are. quite distinct from the
nerves Of ordinary sensation, also give
over working very quickly. A bath
that seems quite hot when You get into
it very soon ceases to cause any par
ticular feeling Of heat.
Nerves of hearing and sight can go
through an enormous amount of work.
For sixteen hours q day they work
hard. and are still willing to do more.
The nerves Of the heart are the most
untiring of all. From the first dawn
Of life until the last gasp they work
without stopping for one instant.
