NOT MATTER OF KNOWLEDGE
Person May BE Thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT With Facts, and Yet Re-
main Ignorant.

Some people think that Ignorance Is
merely an accumulation Of facts. But
that hypothesis reveals a lack of i'm
agination. Ignorance. any more than
knowledge, is not concerned with
facts. It IL concerned quite largely
with feeling, and feeling Is the prod
uct of ones general intelligence.
The Huns had plenty Of facts at
their disposal. but they were igncFant.
Their feeling was not inte1li9entiy dis
tributed over certain areas of their ma
tional consciousness.
This is true, more or less, of all of
us, Thomas L. Mason writes In the
Outlook. When We are truly ignorant,
1t is a case Of arrested development In
certain directions. A man who has
not brought up family may have al
his call all the statistics about fami
lies. But he is truly ignorant In the
sense of not being developed In the
feelings that intimate contact will
ones family produces.
To have knowledge Of particular
thing is simply to have come in con
tact with it In such manner tina
ones feeling has been aroused abOu
Ii.
We acquire knowledge largely b!
contemplation and meditation. Blu
the thing we are learning about mus
impose itself upon us in such a wa,
that we are forced to understand !
! through our feelings and not GU
minds.
There is nothing. harder to pvercom
| than ignorance 1t must be beaten t
a standstill. We have done this to tn
Huns. We must now conclude on
moral contract by bringing them int
contact with the right things.

SchOOlmasters From Russia.

The world at large will note with langud interest the
establishment at Moscow of a school of anarchy where
agitaors from all nations are to receive training as
revoutionsts.
Unless this is attempt by enterprising peda-
gogues to deprive Lenine Trotzky and other learned
of Boshevism the monopoly of tutorshp which
they enjoy, it hardly worth while. In the
great university of deviltry recently founded at Pero
grad there is instruction only the theory but the
practice of revolution by means of elaborate extern
sion courses the art has been carried to millions of
people.
Thanks to the greater enlightenment of most other ma
tons, schoolmasters from Russia likely have
a cordial welcome when they go abroad Before there
can be revolution there must be incurabe wong and
before there be anarchy ignorance and
desperation. Deficient the world in education of
some kinds it will be slow take political leadership
from Russia as medical science from the Congo.

It was Haig who took hold of the

1t was Haig who won the Battle Of
the Somme in the summer of 1916, the

4 VERSE 4 DAY.
THE SOLDIERS RETURN.

IWHAT shall We render when the men return from
The men who fought that this, land, might live?
Is there too much-too much in kind in deed
For they who lived in hell that we can give?
Some sturdy cheers; pittance. charity or praise
With waving flags for strife no longer feared
Forgotten as the past, and unredeemed-
The broken pledge that trusting men have heard
Yes they of the fate there is in store
For the men who sacrifice the ease-worn way;
Who, fighting in the dark before the dawn,
Reap for the the safety of the day
Deep in some hearts is Mammon still intrenched
The traders mart the gods of gold and clay;
They have not found the vision of the soul
Revealed to those who walk the hero's way
Yet is shall pass, if one, the least shall fall
Broken and manned unheeded by the state
All we have suffered, spent and hardly won
Shall by deeds become the sport of Fate
Then through land fiery cross will rage
Fierce, righteous wrath with stern consuming speed
Shall sweep away those at the reckoning hour
Who debts of pghted honor failed to heed

HAVE DARK HAIR

with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
he hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw 1t through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation Is a
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

BRFTON'S DEVICE SAVES
MANY SHIPS FROM MINES

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
Associated Press.)-A device which
for more than three years helped to
protect British warships from Ger
man mines has won for its inventor,
Lieutenant Charles d. Burney. of the
British navy, the Order of Compan-
ion of st. Michael and st. George and
a grant of $150,000. The invention
is said to have saved the lives of hun
dreds of sailors and prevented the
loss of many warships. 1t consists
of Waterplane shaped like a torpe-
do having a pair of large fiat fms
projecting on either side. 1t is lowed
oversize by a wire rope in such a
way that it runs from the ships bows
outward The wire rope is intended
to pick up the mooring ropes of mines
and slide them along until they reach
to the nose of the device, where a
sharp saw is fixed inside a v-shaped
slot. The saw cuts through the moor
ing rope and allows the mine to float
free, where it can either be avoided
or destroyed.
The invention is known in the SER
vice as the ''P. Co." or "paravane."
