PRESIDENTS TRIBUTE TO
AMERICAN FIGHTERS

In his address to the senate o
the subject of the peace treat,
and the League Of Nations, Presi
dent Wilson spoke eloquen
words of tribute to the American
soldier struggles, sacrifices anC
achievements in Europe. In par
this topic of his address was as
follows.
"That first, neyer-to -be-forgot-
ten action at Chateau Thierry had
already taken place. Our redoubt-
able soldiers and marines had al
ready closed the gap the enemy
had succeeded in opening for
their advance upon Paris-had al
ready turned the tide Of battle
back toward the frontiers of
France and begun the rout that
was to save Europe and the
world. Thereafter the Germans
were to be always forced back,
back; were never to thrust sue
eessfully forward again y y
"This is not the occasion up
on which to utter a eulogy of the
armies America sent to France,
but perhaps, since | am speaking
Of their missionH may speak also
of the pride ! shared with every
American who saw or dealt with
them there. They were the sort
of men America would wish to be
represented by, the sort Of men
every American would wish to |
claim as fellow country men and
comrades in a great cause.
They were terrible in battle,
and gentle and helpful out of it,
remembering the mothers and the
sisters, the wives and the little
children at home. They were free
men under arms not forgetting
their ideals Of duty in the midst
of tasks of violence am proud
to have had the privilege of be-
ing associated with them and Of
calling myself their leader *
What they did made America
and all that she stood for liv-
ing reality in the thought not
only of the people of France but
also of tens of millions of men
and women throughout all the
toiling nations of a world stand
ing everywhere in peril of its
freedom and of the loss Of every
thing it held dear, in deadly fear
hat its bonds were never to be
oosed, its hopes forever to be
and disappointed"

The president has reported to
the senate briefly, telling Of the
high ideals that actuated the
trainers Of the treaty, reserving
his heavy ammunition for the real
battles to come. Confident of
eventual success he has challeng-
ed his opponents to summon him
for first-hand knowledge of the
INSIDE" doings at Paris, and,
with the reluctance born of chag-
rim, they will do so.

Concrete OIL Tanks.

Storing oil in concrete tanks is the
invention Of an Englishman. A tank
with capacity of about ten gallons
was recently made with chemically
treated concrete aggregate, and after
being allowed to weather" for seven
days molding was filed with paraffin
oil. Thus filed, 1t was placed In a
shed, where 1t remained for Is weeks !;
at the end Of this period 1t was care
fully examined. With the exception
of evaporation, no loss had taken
place; there was no sign of leakage,
and the ouside walls of the tank were
free from the smell of its contents.
Upon removal from the spot on which
II had been standing no trace OF paraf-
fin could be detected, nor had the un-
der side of the tank acquired any
smell. This is probably the most Sc
we're test that could be applied to any
container.

FORTUNATE IS HoMELY MAN
II unduIy Attractive, the Unhappy
Male Seems Doomed to Misfor-
tune All His Life.

/ have no objection whatsoever to
children being beautiful, or to young
girls being beautiful, or to a woman
of whatever age being beautiful. But
l do insist that for man not to be
homely is his misfortune, Irwin S.
Cobb writes in American Magazine.
The handsome. male starts with a
handicap at the very cradle.
Women of all ages insist on cooling
over him and talking baby talk to him
and chucking him under the chin and
kissing him-especially kissing him
and since he is not of an age to ap-
preciate these attentions the whole
procedure must annoy him fearfully.
Should his beauty last into his boy
hood the chances are that he has the
sort of mother who will make him
wear his hair long and force him to so
about publicly in broad lace collar
and a black velvet suit with a sash
about his waist, and that means other
boys will call him by extensively apt
nicknames and generally make his
young life a burden to him.
Most woeful of it all, if still his
beauty sticks to him after he has ar
rived at mans estate, only de-
termined and persistent struggle
against the odds of destiny and of cir
cumstances can save him from drift
ing into the ranks of the matinee

iioorwalkers in the department stores.

The "EvlI Eye"

The evil eye was the power sup
posed to be possessed by certain envi-
Gus persons to bring woe and misfor-
tune upon the prosperous and happy
by means of malevolent glance. It
was a belief that spread itself pretty
well over place even in minds of the
highest caliber. 1t is odd that Bacon,
who conceived and explained new
system of philosophy, could seriously
consider piece of nonsense like that
of the evil eye, yet he energies a mo-
ment from the charmed realm of
knowledge to say:' ENVY, which is
called an evil eye, seehs to emit some
malignant and poisonous spirits that
take hold of the spirits of another /;
and Is said likewise to be of greatest
force when the cast of the eye is OBJ
lique."

GROW. FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL
cedars Flourish In Full vigor at Alti-
tudes Surprising Height Of Most
Mountain Peaks.

Eleven thousand one hundred feet al
titude above sea level is some distance
above the clouds for the habitat of a
species of "A great tree which attains
circumference of 10 and even IS feet.
The tree is the western mountain ce-
dar, and 1t is found growing in full
vigOr at elevations of from 5000 to
over IL 900 feet in the southern portion
of the Sierra Nevada and where this
huge mountain chain merges over into
the Sierra Madre, running down into
Mexico. In most of the mountain re-
gions of the United States 1900 feet
is at or above timber line, but in these
southern Sierras are many genial high
valleys and pockets where huge trees
are found at attitudes which surpass
the height of most mountain peaks.
The snow covers the peaks and slopes
for great portion of the year, but
with the earliest melting the trees
start growing and in the case of the
mountain cedars make an even greater
annual growth than many Of the low
land trees where the want OF water
compels short growing season. These
huge mountain cedars are close cous-
ins to the great cedars of Lebanon
from the timbers of which the temple
at Jerusalem was built. The American
cedars, however, are more upright in
growth than the cedars Of the Old
World.

HAVE STOOD TEST OF TIME
Quotations With Which All Are Fa-
miIiar Acquire Popularity Only
Because Of Their Merits.

The quotation worthy of the high
title of familiar" must have stood
the test of time and passed unhurt
through the shifting tastes and fash
ions of centuries. In its lofty or in its
humble way 1t must show that, like
Shakespeare. 1t twas not. for an age,
but for all time" used the word
humble" because the rhymes of child
hood, of the nursery, fulfill the re-
Quirement of age in quotation
worthy to be called familiar. Their
intrinsic, their abstract merits may
appear slight, they may even seem TO
be sheer nonsense, but they are passed
on by mothers and nurses and by the
children themselves from generation
to generation. We may be assured.
that they would not thus have lived
and prospered II they had not pos
sessed some quality. however slender,
of genuine worth, of real humor or
imagination, which gave them per
manence.
Then there are the popular sayings,
the folk tales and ballads and the
songs of the people with an ancestry
lost in the mists of antiquity, which,
stored In human memory and kept
alive only by human lips, have come
down across the centuries with their
endless variants until at last they
have been gathered up by the collector
and the antiquarian and made safe
from oblivion by print and paper.
These tales and ballads are often rude
in form and expression, but no curious
inquiry is needed to explain their long
life and lasting familiarity. In them
you find wit and wisdom, sparks
struck from the hard flints of expert
ence by men and women struggling
unknown through what we call life
