CHINESE GODDESS OF MERCY
Legend Popular in the Yellow Land
Because u illustrates Quality
Of FfIiaI piety.

The Chinese tell an Interesting story
relating to their Goddess Of Mercy
Who was the third daughter of the
king Mas Tsong. Her two elder SIS
tiers we're married early. and when
her turn came the third refused to
merry, having already given up the
temporal pleasures and devoted her
entire devotion to preparation for the
next life. The king then sent his
daughter to the temple. where h
was asked to draw water and COOK
dinner for 800 monks But this
seemed to be an easy task. for when
she went to cook. she found every
thing ready for her. q dragon beng
sem from heaven to help her.
The king was angered and ordered
the temple to be burned but b pris-
cess spat blood into heaven and a
new temple fell down to earth This
srperei the king still more ne
ordered his daughter killed and thai

time went on. the king was afflicted
with Ieprosy, none of the doctors be-
ing able to cure him. A beggar monk
later came and told the king he could
cure him. Upon being given a trial
the monk said that the disease could
only be cured by the ash Of the
burned hand and eye Of a person who
was on a certain mountain.
When the desired hand and eye was
finally found. the queen recognized
them as her daughters. The king was
cured by the ashes Of this hand and
eye, which made the people honor the
name of the princess as the Goddess
Of Mercy" for her untold sufferings
and her hlial piety to her cruel father.

one, and the family that builds from 1t
will have a bungalow Of which they
may be proud.
Building a home Is undoubtedly the
most satisfactory way to get a place
in which to live. Not only is the
home a person builds for himself and
family a great deal more satisfactory
than the one designed to suit the ideas
Of some other builder, but 1t will con-
form to his financial resources a great
deal better. Fix upon a sum that
can be put into a home, and then Sc
cure a home for that sum. That, In
a sentence. sums up the wise policy OF
a majority Of home builders.
There will be a great amount OF
home building this year, and the
quicker the plans are selected and
building started the better.

Planning to build a home now is at
Its height. That is. those who are 60
ing to have a new house this year are
busily engaged scanning plans Of all
kinds, with the desire to select the
sort of home they will build, so that
the contractor may get it started at
the earliest possible moment.
The selection of the home building
design is one Of the most important
steps in securing a home. For upon
the proper picking of the design Of

There are several things that should
be considered In selecting the design

First, how much money is %avaiiable'i
Second. how many r there In the

Group Of Fifty Islands.

While only three Islands In the
group ever get public mention there
are, all told, some fifty islands that
came into the possession of the United
States. For the most part these So
called islands are merely rocks stick
ing out of the water and are uninhab-
tied. The three principal islands. and
indeed the only ones that have any
value worth mentioning. are st.
Thomas. st. Croix and st. John. These
three islands, which lie close together.
are 50 miles east of Porto Rico. about
1000 miles southeast of Key West and
Florida, and in the neighborhood Of
1.43O miles from New York. The con-
eressional committee ascertained that
the present population of the islands Is
about 5000. Only 8 per cent of the
population is white. The 81 per cent
is for the most part of negro extrac-
ton.

 Humble Beginnings

On the 17th of January, in 17O6, Benjamin Franklin was born at B0s- ion. His father was a soap and candle maker his mother, tks daughter of . Quaker poet of Nantucket. When Ben jamin was ten he was taken frsm school and set to work In his fathers factory He never again attended . regular school. yet he became schol- ar. He was inept and unhappy at his first occupation, so his father ap- prentlced him to his brother to learn the trade of printer. When he was seventeen he ran away from his broth CT and opened printing office in Phil adelphia. He pursued the career of printer and publisher until 1736, when he was made clerk of the Penn sylvania assembly. This was the be- ginning of his public career, and he rose steadily until he became one of the most striking figures in America. In France, when he was sent there ss ambassador after the Revolutionary war, he became as widely known and loved as in his own country.

Axiaters' pansers.

Air service doctors have discovered that airmen who have been experts will, on occasion and for period, make all manner of mistakes in landing.
 With a smooth lawn below them they will do ''poached egg" and crash the machine on its tail or will take the ground before they mean to.
 These accidents are attributed to . particular sort of weariness of eye muscles as well as eye nerves. The eye fails to convey to the brain proper eye picture of the ground CT other object.
 The eye fails very much as the mus eles of an untrained athlete fail. Many exercises for the eye have been de- signed which will remedy this ds- feet.
