MEDITERRANEAN AIR BASE

A far-reaching program of aviation in
the French colonial possessions in Africa
has been drawn up by the commission on
aerial transports at Tunis, Algria, which
recommends that great aerial transport
center be established, with Tunis as its
base, in order to centralize aerial traffic
over the Mediterranean sea. Inasmuch as
Tunis occupies an advantageous position,
at the junction of French and international
colonial possessions regular aerial ser
vice, it is urged, between Tunis and out
lying districts would benefit the French
protectorate. Already line of airplanes
are in operation between Gabes, an Alger-
ian seaport, and the frontier of Tripoli;
and this, in the expectation of colonial
officials, will be extended to Tunis. So
the "unchanging East" is fast becoming a
by-word only of times past:-Ex.

FAITH

The sails hung torn from splintered masts,
The foam-topped pillows roared,
The ships beams groaned,- across her
decks
The white-rimmed surges poured
The huddled, white-lipped passengers
Held by confusion wild,
Saw one who, frightened not, stood BY
A sturdy little child.
Asked if he feared the angry waves
The ship might overwhelm,
"Why, no." in boundless faith said he,
"My fathers at the helm!"
When life's frail barque is tossed by storms
Which almost overwhelm,-
Soul, fret you not! Be still and know
"My Fathers at the helm!"

FASCINATING UKULELE

Many, people, even now, may think of
the ukulele as a Russian province, or an
eastern title, yet it happens to be neither,
but small musical instrument which, ac-
cording to writer in the London Daily
Chronicle, recently baffled the experience
even of the customs man, who refused to
recognize it as such and permitted its en-
try into England free of duty. The little
South Sea ukulele is not unlike fiddle
that you play with your fingers" to the
eye of the uninitiated, but all who hear it
admit its sweetness and the charm of its
plaintive voice. No doubt one of these
days England will become aware of the
fascination of the ukulele, even as Ameri
ca has already done. The customs man
will then exact his legitimate toll, and
strange, wild music will haunt the Lon
don streets.-Ex.

FLAX IN THE WAR

With restoration of the industry on a
peace-time basis cotton once again goes
ahead of linen in the worlds favor. The
exigencies of the recent conflict raised fax
to the position as leader among fabrics, a
rank which it had held for centuries but
lost almost simultaneously with the advent
of the cotton gin.
With the realization of the importance
of cotton in the making of munitions, there
came a speedy reversion to linen for the
sails for ships, even "wings" for airplanes
having lately consisted of linen. But fax
has reached the end of its days of
monopoly. King Cotton now rises to the
fore in ordinary pursuits, and linen once
again becomes the aristocrat in this field
of supp1y.-Ex.

LOVE

Sweet wind-ed choir at dawn of day
Love is the theme of all thy lay,
Sheltered at night within the grove,
Renewing strength to sing of love.
Love is a river vast and free,
Taking its rise from Calvary,
Like perfume from a garden bed
Enriched with blessing from the dead.
Love is the husband of the soul
Both day and night while ages rool.
While sweetly chants the choir above,
For Heaven itself is ruled by Love.
Love ties the golden cords that bind
The wayward hearts of all mankind,
And angels whisper near and far
That love embraces every star.

THE SOURCE OF BEAUTY

Far down through hidden assures of the
earth
Strike the thin-fbered roots, far from
the cold
And age-fed richness of the neither mold
They draw the strength whereby the buds
have BIRTH
We only see the blossoming tide of mirth
Upfoaming to the sunlight's wand of
gold;
Yet ApriPs valor thrives on deeds of
old,
And faded years give brightest flowers
their worth.
And so with Beauty. Does the Midas
Of genius waken into golden bloom
A casual impulse of unfostered bowers!
No, not one laughing petal may expand
Unless from ancient forces nursed in
gloom.
We see no roots; we only see the flowers
-Charies Wharton Sfork.

THE YELLOW PRINCE

Down the highway past the fallows,
Down the field path to the shadows,
Rides Goldenrod, his cuirass all agleam,
Calling to the round-eyed aster,
"Follow faster, follow faster;"
As she lifts her purple gown to cross the
stream.
Prince of wild flowers is this fellow,
With his waving plume of yellow,
And every road is his that leaves the
town.
Poets sing his golden graces,
Lovers lingering in quiet places,
Approve him, while he captures hill and
down.
Yet in spirit we are saddened,
Through our seeing eyes are gladdened
(Grave the import when Prince comes
riding by.
When his camp fires light the holows,
And the purple aster follows,
Alas, the end of summer draweth nigh.

FLYING AS "A PASTIME

Wealthy men in Japan have turned to
airplaning as a sport. Many of those who
made fortunes during the war in manu-
featuring munitions and building ships
are neglecting their motor cars to devote
time to skimming through the air. The
Japanese Government is encouraging the
innovation in every way, for it is realized
that the more persons who indulge in the
rastime the greater will be the prospects
of progress in aviation in the Island King
dom. Japanese have a natural leaning to-
ward aviation, for like the Chinese, they.
are great kite Aiers young and old indulg-
ing in the sport. Large kite-hying tourna-
ments are held and contests take place in
which the Aiers compete for prizes
awarded by judges by point system that
is hard for an Occidental to understand.
In aviation most of the machines used
have been of foreign make, but it is ex-
pected that the home production will equal
soon both the government demand and
that for recreational purposes.-Ex.

Antwerp, August 16.=America's
powerful ana well balanced track
and field team continued to gather
honors in the second Gay OF the 18th
Olympiad. 1t outclassed all the other
notions combinations, but its mem
bers were not strong individually to
win all the first place honors, par
ticularly in the classic ancient pen
tathlon, in which the Finnish star,
e. Lehtonen, proved to be the best
all-around athlete.
In addition to the Americans cor
ing the greatest number of points,
the only world record of the day was
made by Frank Loomis of the Chi
cago A. A. In the 400-meter hur-
dies with 81 seconds fiat, a full sec

Bacon in the London Olympics is
1908. In both the hurdles and the

lists were American athletes, of whom
three ran first in the hurdles and
first in the 100 meters.

''1he Mutiny of the Elsinore"

the director has striven to attain in
artfnl presentation of motion pictures
combined with opera has been accom-

tiny Of the Elsinore," adapted to cellu-
loid; heard the singing of the Sex-
tet from Donizetti's Lucia di Lam

reel Of ice fields of Alaska.

the mutiny is in progress, which is
made more realistic by the stage ap

smash it from ITS to 20 and then to
buy it all and fire John Stetson as

John believes business is something
sacred, like marriage, whereas Turner
regards business as a means of profit
taking. John is thinking about his
friends. who bought Setson Tire on
margin just because of their faith in
him. SO what is his scorn and indg-

several millions for him by smashing
the stock! Very we'll, John Stetson,

Well. not actually doomed; don't be
