Some Interesting Appoint,

Many new positions for secretaries
have been created this year in the
East Central Field of the Y. w. G. A.
as a result of the extension of the
work.
Miss Caroline Foresman, Rural Sec
retary, repo It's that in the three states
of the field, Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland, and the District of Co.
lumbia are living one-tenth of the
girls in America between the ages of
is and ID.
One Of the most interesting ap-
pointments of general secretaries is
that of Mrs. Anna E. sindt. widow of
the Rev. w. H. Kindt, pastor of the
Evangelical Church of Hazelton, Pa.
/ Following DR.. Kindt's death in July,
the official board of the church, by un-
animous action, offered her the pastor

Directors of the Y. W. C. A, by un-
animous vote, desired Mrs. Kindt to
act as general secretary.

both offers, l came to the conclusion

Ducks May Be Shot Tomorrow.

Ducks can be lawfully shot from
October 16 to January 81. If any war
dens or deputy wardens or other offl-
cials have made any statements to the
effect that the duck law is out October
1st. these statements should be disre-
garded as they are made without au-
thority. Our State law, standing by
itself, would permit the shooting OF
ducks on and after Octobet' 1st, but
the Federal Treaty with Canada pro-
vides an open season for wild ducks IN
Delaware from October 10th to Janu-
ary 31st, both dates inclusive, and
duck shooters are warned to abide by
the Federal law.

Soda Tax" Not Withdrawn.

A Washington, D. c., special says:
Much confusion has arisen throughout
the country because of the failure OF
the Senate to concur in the passage Ct
the act repeating the tax on sodas'
ice cream and soft drinks. Reports
are constantly coming into the Bur-
eau of Internal Revenue that patrons
are refusing to pay the tax. The >Sx
hecame effective May 1st, since which
time it has netted several millions OF
dollars in revenue. The House re-
pealed the tax June 28th, but so far
the Senate has taken no action and the
tax remains in effect.

Chinese Do Intensive Farming

According to a recent exchange tne
Chinese take the palm for intensive
farming. One metho~ they use IN
their rice paddles along the river IS TO
flood them with water from six inches
to two feet in depth, hatch some young
ducklings, turn them loose on the sur
face of the water, stocking the pond
with fish. The offal from the ducks
furnishes food for the fish. He raises
two crops of ducks, then drains the
pond, sells the larger fish and plows
the smaller ones into the soil and
plants his rice. Can you beat it!

A Young man writes TO me wanting TO
know Why, as far as he is concerned, educa-
ton does not educate. He says that he
has taken advantage of many opportunities
for self-improvement, but somehow does not
get the advertised good out of them. He
even goes so far as TO say that he regularly
reads my articles.
He continues, what Pm coming TO is
this. read educating books educating
articles. attend frequently educating lee
lures, etc And am none the better and
none the wiser for IT. Won't you please
tell me why this Is so, and also how it can
be remedied?"
OF course, there are many who have had
the advantages of books and men and art
and have come out unscathed of culture.
They are what have been called Duckback-
ers. in school and out, from whom all edu-
cative influences have glanced off like
water from a ducks back.
But | take il that my correspondent is
not one of these, but is really a willing and
receptive mind who wonders why all the
intellectual pabulum he devours fails TO
make mental bone and muscle.
In other words why this defective
spiritual metabolism?
There may be other reasons, but one
reason, probably, is that my inquirer is
eating too much. intellectually speaking
and not exercising enough.
DR.. Samuel Johnson pointed out the dan
ger that lies in the pleasure of acquiring
knowledge. You are apt to beget an enor-
nous appetite and no commensurate yigor.
We gain strength only by doing as well as
eating.

we often discover that we do not know it

vague.
