temporarily removed from his neck
and, unobserved, quietly left the
yeranda of the SAKE summer cottage

Jerry had dug a hole with his paws,

the Objectionable studded neckpiece IN
much the same manner as he would

A document suggesting that the
holders Of certain lands in Scotland
are bound under heavy monetary pen
alties to marry at the royal pleasure
has been brought TO light during a
Scottish appeal case in the house of
lords. The document is said to have
been prepared by the king and queen
OF Scotland in 1859, and it refers to
a tenure known as a 'ward" The
heir or possessors Of land held in this
manner cannot obtain possession un.
til they are twenty-one years Of age
II males and fourteen years Of age If
females. If such heirs on taking pos
session are not married they are bound
TO marry at the pleasure and will of
the king with persons Of good reputa,
ton and similar rank. The penalty
payable to the king for refusing such a
proposed marriage is double the pc
cuniary benefit Of the marriage
(which marriage" adds the order, "ls
esteemed much too dear in this coun-
try and almost at the value Of the
lands"

COULDN'T MATCH THAT STORY

A senator was entertaining some
friends with stories about the Arizona
desert, when bore Joined the party.
This bore was the kind Of q chap
that always laughs in the wrong place
and spoils a story by trying TO guess its
climax. The senator undertook to
silence him.
Poor Fergusoni' he said. "That
was a close shave he had In the desert
last August"
"Sunstroke, or course" said the bore.
'No. not exactly" said the senator.

dentally on the Cauldron-our famous
spring, you know, that gnshes out of
the rock at freezing point and imme-
diately begins TO boil from the fierce
heat Of the sum-"
"Of course, OF course" said the bore.

he fall in the cauldron and boil to
death? Get on with your story, man.

"but he managed to scramble out
again. The peril, however, was not

Hldlnu = KINGS Statue.

The fine equestrian statue Of King
Charles /, which was hidden in London
for protection during the war, has been
brought to light again. The statue,
which was cast during the reign of the
monarch, according to reports has not
enjoyed the uneventful career per-
mitted TO most works of Its kind. II
was executed for Sir Richard Weston,
afterward earl Of Portland, who in
tended to place 1t as an ornament In
his garden at Rochampton. But this
function 1t never fulfilled, for 1t was
seized by parliament during the Civil
war and sold to one John Rivett, a
brazier, to be broken up. John, how
ever. being a royallst, hid the statue,
and by selling hundreds of bronze
knife handles purportlng to be made
from 1t, disarmed any parliamentary
suspicious in the matter. On the res
toration of Charles III In 1890 Riyett
produced the statue, which was
claimed by Sir Richards son. The
brazier refused to yield 1t, and after
years Of dispute 1t was eventually pre-
scented to King Charles II and erected
on the spot formerly covered by the
original Charing cross.

Japan TO PAY TEACHERS MORE
Meeting by Pedagoeues in

YOkOhama-Public school teachers
of Japan are mistakenly demanding
an increase in salaries TO meet the
increased cost of living. The police
recently prevented the holding of a
mass meeting, called by the primary
teachers of Yokohama. All teachers
received a circular declaring that with
the League of Nations about 10 be
framed, the leading nations were en-
deavoring to promote the welfare AMI
happiness of mankind. Teachers,
therefore, it said, SHOULD assemble to
discuss the changing thought of the
nations and interests of education"

; Antarctic "shelt lce.~

FROM the work OF recent explora-
lions. Sir Douglas Mawson concludes
that the rock foundation on which the
Antarctic ice cap rests 10 very irregu-
lar, partly above sea level and partly
below, and that its thickness. which Is
very variable, may reach maximum
OF several thousand feet. Under the
thickest portions the static pressure at
the base may be as great as one ton
per square inch. Under such cover
ing there may be considerable aeeu-
mutation of ground heat, and 1t is as
sumed that the under portion Of the ice
mass is undoubtedly soft and plastic.
Where the sea breakS up the ice at a
rate faster than the flow, the sea front
is substantially the coast line. But
elsewhere, as In the Great Ross barrier
and the Shackleton shelf, the supply
of ice exceeds the rate OF erosion at
the sea front, and the overflow from
the land maintains a thick sheet of
"shelf ice" extending far out to sea.
The sea front of the ice cap, at the
present rate of advance or flowing out,
is estimated to have left the center in
the seventh century of our era.

THEIR GLORY Gone
HeIuoland to Join LouiSbourg as
a Memory.
Famous French Fortress in Canada
Has Long Been Demolished and
Soon the German Stronghold
Is 20 Sc Razed.

Announcement that the Cerma1
forts on the island Of Helgoland are
70 be demolished recalls the similar
fate OF a glorious landmark on Ca
madam soil. This is Louisbourg, No
va Scotia. once the pride OF New
France, and now a pile Of ruins, with
but a faint echo Of its original splen-
dor.
Louisbourg was the remnant or
French power on the Atlantic coast
when the treaty OF Utrecht was sign
ed In 1913, reducing the fortunes Of
Louis XIV 70 low ebh. From l12O
10 17G0 II led n precariouS but spec
tacular existence, it's magnifcence as a
defense guaranteed 10y the expendi-
ture Of millions Of dollars by the
French government, though millions
were stolen and wasted by dishonest
officials and unhappy officers whose
only ambition was to get rich and go
home.
The fortress was imposing, despite
the thievefy and mismanagement, and
It required a seven weeks siege by
Colonel Pepperell and his New Eng
landers In 1745 TO take II from the
French.
BY one of those diplomatic incidents
too plentiful in the history Of the new
world, Louisbourg was handed back
70 France in 174S by the treaty Of
Aix-la- Chapelle. The New England
ers were furious, but ten years later
the British army and navy, with such
rising strategists as Amherst and
Wolfe taking part, again laid siege
by land and sea, and in another cam
palgn of seven weeks recaptured the
stronghold.
The days OF the great fortress were
now numbered. The home of discon-
tent, the abode Of smugglers, the den
OF thieying oflicialdom received its
death warrant in 17G0 at the hand Of
George II and Pitt in London, So
well was the warrant executed that
for months sailors. sappers and miners
worked until they laid Louisbourg lev
el with the dust.
And there 1t remains. Memorials
recording its history raise their mod
est heads above the chaos OF stones
and mortar. The site on point three
miles from the railway and the town of
the some name Is remote and forbid
ding. Should the visitor follow the
shore road by the lonely Atlantic in
summer he viii hear tinlllng sheep
bells from the pasture where once
stood the French town. now complete
iy obliterated. The great area Of the
runs Of the fort gives some hint OF
the vain preparation to hold a last
grip against the advancing British and
Colonlals.
What viii be the thoughts Of the
tourist as he drops by airplane on
Helgoland a century hence, witnesses
itc ruined forts, and contemplntes the
futile ambitions of a race that drew
the sword and fought a losing battle
for world domination?

EIreprooflna conerete coIumns.

We have been wont to look upon
concrete as capable OF resisting great
deal of heat, and 1t may seem strange
to think of coating 1t with flreproof
material. However. there are condi-
lions under which this is necessary.
The bureau Of standards has been in
vestigating the condition of concrete
which has passed through conflagra-
lions, and has found that If the con-
crete is made with gravel, particularly
siliceous gravel. there is a tendency
for the stones TO burst in extreme
heat, which dlsintegrates the concrete.
Accordingly 1t is recommended that
gravel be avoided wherever possible,
but If impossible the gravel concrete
may be protected from extreme heat
by coating II with an inch OF cement
held in place by a wire mesh. Plasters
may also be used in which asbestos is

That Is Why You Hear
So Much of Essex

Anyone who has ever driven much knows
that the greatest delight, where speed is
concerned, comes with the ability to best a
rival with extra bursts of speed 1t is the
situations which show cars ability to out
perform others that give greatest cause
for pride.
And knowing that the Essex does excel
most cars, even many that are larger and
that cost more, there is little wonder owners
speak of it as they do.

judge the capacity of mans bFains by the

Essex can do merely by its type or size
and the fact that it sells for only a little
more than other cars whose limitations
you recognize.
