represent the earth by a small pea, the
sun would be the use of a globe about
two feet in diameter aid would be sit
uated at a distance of 220 feet from
the pea. The pea would travel round
it at a speed of four feet a day and
would carry with it large grain Of
sand, one sixteenth of an inch in diam

to represent our moon. IL we should
seek to place the nearest star on that
same scale, we should have to put IL
more than IL 600 miles from the pea.
The general structure of the sun may
be likened to huge bubble; the in
terror is gaseous and the exterior ID
composed of clouds several thousand
miles in thickness, which are known as
the photosphere. The clouds are com
posed of liquid drops like our clouds,
but instead of consisting of water the
drops are believed to consist Of melted
carbon, silicon and Sther chemical ele
ments that fuse only at the very high
est known temperature, and that are
therefore the first to condense from the
gaseous state when cooled by radiatioIi
into space. 1t is the philosophers that
forms the bright surface of the sun
that we see.
The surface of the philosophers is
broker up into nodules from 400 to 600
miles across, which from their shape
have been called rice grains. They are
somewhat like the rounded tops of our
cumulus clouds. Above them lies the
chromosphere, which owes its red or
pink color to the red spectrum line OF
hydrogen gas. The chromosphere.
which is from 10, 900 to 15 900 miles In
depth, is really an ocean of fire, sending
up enormous flames that occasionally
reach an altitude of 400 900 miles or

NOR months contractors had peen

Passers by used to shrug their shoulders
and say, Don't see what those people

dock built some day, but there's no
sign of it yet-after all these months.
The contractors knew what they were
about. however, and kept right on with
their lob. Thee, suddenly, almost
miraculously it seemed to the criticizlng
passers by, the dock was completed!
(By the way, have you ever noticed
that destructive criticism is generally
the child of ignoranceD
Wonderful - exclaimed the passer

course. the foundations were below
water and unseen to the passer-b by
but the unseen foundations had to be
we'll and surely made before the visible
structure could be erected.
Once it was completed it merely re-
ouired attention and repairing to keep

received and dispatched men and mer-
chandise to all parts of the world.
That dock is an excellent illustration
of the value of advertising. Iha be-
ginning of an advertising campaign may
not show results, but it lays the tounda

| In time the effect of persistent ant
consistent advertising will show above
water. r.'sSuddeply results are produced
which are not the outcome of the lates'
hundred dollars spent, but of the accu
mulated advertising power.
What a pity that so many business
men begin advertising investments thai
they are too weak -spined to carry
through. How often they lay the foun'
dation and fail to erect the top structure
which completes the. ."dock" that makes
so easy the dispatching of goods al
over the world. IT,.
Some people spend on advertising {
lot of money for a brief period and ther
stop. They have laid big foundation
(possibly bigger than their business
warrants) and nothing more. How mucl
better it would have been to have com
pleted a small dock"
A small, thorough, consistent an'
continuous, advertising campaign is fa
preferable to a bigger, spasmodic, dis
connected plan of publicity.
Some people don't ever advertise a
all and then wonder why it's so har'
to get and hold business. They hav
no advertising dock" which make

One thinks quickly under such cir

been that Katherine had but played
upon his rapt eagerness concerning the

and then to repudate his offer-and
him.
His amazement when she called down
to him that she would accept his propo-

in regard to it, was intense.
He would have replied to her IL she
had given him time; but at once the

flooring around it, began to rise toward
its former position, so he decided to wait
until he was once more face to face with

Climbing the Walls

Climbing the Walls
"How shall we cross the river'''

ut the ripping stream that stretched
between them and the great wall that
surrounded the tangled wood where
stood the stately castle In the tower OF
which was imprisoned the beautiful but
sad faced maiden.

Billy, and he led Peggy and the monkey
TO the bank of the river. There he took
off his shoes and stockings and rolled
up the legs of his trousers. Now,
climb on my back" he said to Peggy,
and she did as he said, riding pick a :
back. Rollo mounted to Peggy's shoul
ders, holding in his arms the rope
ladder which Billy had made to scale
the walls of the castle. Thus loaded
down, Billy stepped out bravely into

It was deeper than he thought IN
the center, and the water gurgled around
his legs as if seeking to sweep him
away, but Billy was sturdy and the

him steady, so on he went to the safety
of the shore.
Here they faced the great stone wall
that surrounded the tangled wood In
which stood the castle. 1t was very

Peggy stood on Billy's shoulders and

 Mrs Biddings declared that the big problem of the woman's division was how to meet the demand for skilled domestic help.

Although she has not fully outlined the details, she favors Q course of a few months training for women and girls that would fit them for ser vice in homes where requirements are demanded.
 'The school, | believe, will correct the present shortage of labor. We have had calls for as many as 300 women a month in Phoenix alone, and our teZritory includes the entire state. would suggest, too, that the girls who enter homes as helpers" specialize in some particular line of work such as cooking. second maid, nurse maid, etc, which would take'their work out of the drudgery class and lessen the hours of employment"
