No Mother to Guide Her.

She was about eight years old. Some
admiring woman had exclaimed:
what a beautiful voice she has for
such a young girl" and some other
admiring woman had agreed. The
child believed them, of course, and
consequently was very anxious to sing
on any and all occasions. She began

which she learned from her mother
She never shouted, because it would
hurt her vocal cords She was very
careful to wrap herself up well, be-
cause she had delicate throat which
had to be carefully guarded from

comprehension of the artistic temporal

asked Miss Agnes to play for her
daughter. Miss Agnes consented. The

DUSK BRINGS JOY
Life in Cairo Really Begins in the
Evening.
Summer Days Too Hot for Any Exer-
ton, but With the Fall of Night
the City Awakes.

The city of Cairo is really pleasant
in summer, at least in the evening,
writes a correspondent of the London
Daily Express. English people living
in Egypt had a chance to find this out
when the high cost of travel prevented
their usual summer trip to England
1t is for the evenings that Cairo
really lives. Through the long after
noon one may lie motionless, in a
darkened room, avoiding even the eff
fort of thought, but nothing arrests
the steady flow of perspiration that
drips and drips until one marvels that
there is anything of him left but SKIN
and bone. When the Nile is rising the
air is heavy with moisture and it is
this that makes the heat so hard TO
bear
At last the setting sun floods the
desert and the MOkattam hills with
tangerine glow that changes swiftly
into a soft, opalescent green light.
Dusk falls swiftly, and little breeze
shivers through the treetops.
The streets that but a short while
ago were almost empty save for list
less policemen and beggars sleeping in
patch of shade, become as animated
as Paris boulevard. The pavement
tables outside the cafes are thronged.
Picturesque sellers of water and sher-
bet, claShing two large bowls together
to attract attention, ply their trade;
others sell little nOSegays of strongly
scented jasmine; and the evening pa
pers are bought eagerly by the awak-
eniCg population, while birds -witter
their evening hymn.
1t is on the pavement that the true
Cairene prefers to dine. There is one
street in particular filled with noting
but cafes, and their tables stretch half
way across the road.
At some one may order a meal la
carte from the restaurant; at others
one orders a glass of beer and picks
up courses haphazard from half a
dozen different vendors; strange mix
| lures of salad from one, bread from
| another, slices of spiced sausage. the

fruit and all manner of things from as
| many different sources.
This is Cairo's hour; there are 9th
er things that the StrenuOuSly inclined
may do during the daytime-tenniS,
| golf, cricket out at GeZira Sporting
| club, swimming in the fresh water
| bath beneath the shadow of the Pyra-
mids or in the sulphur spring at Hello
nan-but there is more of hard labor
than pleasure in such pastimes.
| 1t is for the evening that one lives
and the perfect evening finishes with
| a sail in a felucca on the romantic
Nile, where one takes deep breaths OF
the cool night air and turns ones face
to catch every little breeze that blows

SMITHERS WANTS
FISH BUREAU PUT
OUT OF POLITICS
Manager Of Booth Fisheries
Says Harding Can Render
Aid in H. C. |. Fight.
By Herman GastreU Seely.

If Senator Harding, as President, viii
place the bureau of fisheries on per-
manent, nonpolitical basis and see that
it receives enough of an income to
function properly, he will have done
more than any of his successors to
bring the high cost of living down to
a permanent lower level.
This was one of the many interest
ing things which P. L. Smithers, vice
president and general manager of the
Booth Fisheries company, told me today
in discussing the future of the fisheries
industry under the new administration.
In other words, Mr.. Smithers said
the great lakes and the rivers, and the
old scenes of fishing activity along the
coasts are rapidly being fshed out, and
something must be done to replace
them
Can't Control Price.
"As far as the day-to- day price goes
Mr.. Smithers continued, 1.-The government
can't control that We can't control it.
We don't know in advance when we're
going to get a big run of fish or whether
the boats will come back almost empty
handed.
There are some days, here on Lake
Michigan, when our catch costs us
dollar pound. There are others when
we can sell it at 10 to IL cents and make
a profit. Naturally, the one balances the
other.
1T wasn't always this way however.
You, yourself, can remember when you
could wander over to a city pier, drop in
a hook and line and come home with
good string. But you can't do it now.
The lakes are being fshed out.
''Whitefish is fast coming into the deli
cacy class. 1t averages 10 cents a pound
wholesale, and the supply is uncertain.
Halibut is already a luxury. A ship
ment yesterday cost us % cents per
pound in the hold Of the vessel at Seat
tie, and 80 cents a pound delivered here,
That's cost, not selling price.
People Want Best.
1.-THE strange part of it is, that people
insist upon the expensive varieties.
That's partly the fault of the dealer who
doesn't handle the cheaper kinds, but
ouly partly.
"There are any number of fish like
ciscoes, blue and grass pike, buffalo,
carp, sheephead, mullets, perch, cod
and hake which can be bought for to
II cents pound, if it's desired They're
good eating, too.
~ he enlargement of the bureau of
fisheries, however, is the real solution to
the fisheries problems. These lakes could
be swarming with fish just as easily as
not. If the government would prOpag gate
fish, liberate them in the lakes and give
proper protection until they reach size
fit for consumption, it would do more to
gain permanent control of low food
prices than any other act could accom-
plish. The cost would be very low in
comparison, too
Such work, however, canot be done
on a political basis. The bureau must

Emerson and the East.

1t is interesting to find that the
one art of which Emerson did have
a direct understanding the art of
poetry, gave him some insight into
the relation of the artist to his vehi-
Gle. In his essay on Shakespeare there
is a full recognition of the debt of
Shakespeare to his times. This essay
is filled with the historic sense. We
ought not to accuse Emerson because
he lacked appreciation of the fine arts,
but rather admire the truly GOethean
spirit in which he insisted upon the
reality of arts Of which he had no IN
Outstanding. This is the same spirit
which led him to insist on the value
of the Eastern poets. Perhaps there
exist few scholars who can tell US
how far Emerson understood or mis-
understood Saadi and Firdusi and
the Koran. But we need not be dis
turbed for his learning. 1t is enough
that he makes us recognize that these
men were men, too, and that their
writings mean something not unknow-
able to us. The East added nothing
to Emerson, but gave him a few trap
pings of speech.-JOhn Jay Chapman

Pleasure in Studying Bird Life.

The cooperation of birds and man,
studied from the days of Vergil, may
we'll become more intimate and more
fruitful of results, as our understand
ing of bird-life grows deeper. Was it
not a British statesman Viscount Grey
of Falloden, who said in one of his
public speeches that the appreciation
and study of birds yields a pleasure
"purer and more lasting than any
pleasures of excitement, and, in the
long run, happier than personal
success?

Need Better Management.
Even the present hatcheries at the
head of Lake Superior are not run with
the efficiency that they should be. We
had to file complaint with the govern
ment recently on this score. We haven't
heard whether it was remedied
THE y-minnows-were being taken
out into deep water in milk cans and
dumped overheard. Result was that
next day. thousands of the little fish
were washed up on the shore, dead.
They should have been released in
streams which empty into the shallow
water that was properly fitted fer
them"
A reduction in the price of tins and
other materials used in canning would
tend to bring about lower prices in
some lines, Mr.. Smithers said. The de-
termining price factor, however. is the
size of the catch. Salmon, for example,
will net drop in the spring market, b.
cause the run this year was only 50
per cent normal.
