RECORDS WRITTEN ON WOOD
Laws So Recorded Were Rather fer
Preservation Than With Idea Of
General Circulation.

Ionian culture was different In Its
form from any development OF Inter
times, and most difficult 10 under
stand, having been addressed 70 the
cars and not TO the eyes, writes Mary
Mills Patrick IN the National Geo
graphic Magazine. The sixth century.
b. c., was an age without free dis
tribution of written records. and the
beginnings OF libraries were mostly coli
lections of wooden tablets.
Some Of the great men Of the late
ter part of this period each wrote q
book, but it was a laborious task
HeraclItus OF Ephesus was one OF
those who wrote a book which was
kept for safety in the temple of Di-
ana at Ephesus. A book was not a
thing to be lightly regarded. and the
process OF writing was so difficult that
1t was far easier 10 remember what
one had written than to decipher 1t
from book.
Greek writing was hard to read be-
cause neither the words nor the sem
fences were divided from each other.
and the lines ran both from right to
left and from left to right. Scion and
Pittakos wrote their laws on wooden
tablets. However. they did not write
them for general circulation, but rather
to preserve the laws they had pro-
mulgated.

RIue-Jay Ways.

Last spring pair of blue jays
nestled in the crotch of maple just
below my study window. What time
they had of nest buildingl The female
insisted on building in a crotch below,
while the male thought a crotch higher
up afforded more advantageous loca-
cation. They talked and scolded,
building first in one place then in the
other. In the end the female had her
way, and the makeshift bunch of twigs
and brush was collected. The birds
were silent for weeks. tending strictly
to family cares; the half of which the
male bird assumed without a murmur
or complaint. All summer long they
were silent, but toward fall they Joined
their voices with those of the other
Jays in the neighborhood. 1t was a
new slant on blue jay methods, and
hereafter I shall regard the birds with
a wee bit more appreciation.-Chris

Friendship.


The Hottest test of friendship-un-
derstoOd as companionship-is the
power to do without it, And in this
world of external confusions and sep
arations, there is often such need.
We do not yield the friendship, but
must forego the companionship. Then
comes the proof of our capacity for
sacrifice, our loyalty to the Highest
of all. We turn our faces from each
other, but never our hearts, and walk
our opposite why's. Gradually the
heavens widen and deepen above us
we find ourselves breathing new, yet
strangely familiar atmospheres, sweet
with the breath of the old affection {;
we see ourselves-each sees the other
met once more in a Presence which
has never forsaken us-the presence
of one who puts his cross into the
hands of all hottest friendship, saying
Conquer by this" There is no dam
ger of losing love, here or hereafter,
If it is only real; for love is the one
indestructible element in the universe

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR AUTO
southwest's Most Dreaded Spot. Death
Valley, Has Been Made Safe
fer Travellers.

Death valley, once the terror OF
the traveller in the Southwest and the
last resting place OF many early-day
prospectors, is being made safe for
travel both day and night.
This erstwhile barrier 10 human
progress has been conquered BY the
automobile. Its trackless waste OF
sand has been sign-posted and its hid
den water holes marked by Uncle
sam. Not content with merely maxi
ing the desert easy 10 cross for tray-
elers In daylight, the Automobile Club
OF Southern California IS going far
fher and is placing signs in such man
ner that the rays OF the headlights
from passing machines win fan upon
them and guide the night tourist as
safely and surely as the day traveller.
The Automobile club also viii sign
post all lateral routes of the famous
Death valley district. Included in the
sign posting being done win be COM
plete set Of road signs directing tour
lists to picturesque Palm canyon, on
the edge of the desert-one or the
most unique spots in the world.
This oasis in the sandy wastes is
TO be made a national monument by
the government. Its distinctive fea-
ture is the presence of ancient palms
of weird beauty, standing in straight
rows, apparently planted by the hand
of man, but antedating history of the
first human beings in this section.

Poor Father.

Marian is eleven years old and
thinks that she is old enough to stop
having her hair bobbed and let it grow
out and be braided as do the other lit
tie girls in her class. But her moth
e. has different ideas. So, of course,
there is an argument every time hair
cutting time arrives. Last time moth
er brought forth a new argument. IT
want your hair to be pretty and thick
when you grow up," she said. "and
there is nothing which makes your
hair grow better than TO cut it often"
Marian's eyes opened wide. Then
why don't you begin it on father?" she
said. "He says himself that he is get

Many Species of Asters.

About 120 different species of as.
ters are native in the United States.
and 81 OF these are found in north
eastern America. All but dozen
are purple or blue and. even botan-
lists find it requires patient study to
distinguish their many species. The
New England aster is the most strik-
ing of the group. 1t has stout.
hardy stem, sometimes eight feer
high, and large violet-purple and some
times pinkish flowers, and is found N
the swamps in late summer. Great
Britain claims only one native aster.
Many American species are cultivated
in English gardens under the name
of Michaelmas daisies. The Swiss
species is the beautiful purple aster
which is found in such quantities
along the New England highways in
the autumn, and which, with the gol~
denrod, makes a radiant display OF
purple and gold.

FORGOT HER AWFUL MAKEUP
indianapolis Girl Will Have to Do
Much Explaining If Many Ac-
quaintances Saw Her.

A senior of Technical high school
who pridas herself on her contempt
for rouge and lip sticks went to the
photographers. Several class mates
helped themselves to a liberal sup
ply of paint" just before posing,
thinking the pictures would be better.
Finally, they persuaded the senior to
try it just for the one time. No one
would ever be the wiser. Hesitating-
~. she applied the crimson puff and
the oily crimson stick and dashed into
the studio for the final pose.
Half an hour later she was on the
cal speeding homeward when she hap
pened to glance at the woman across
the aisle. That woman's complexion.
she thought was past forgiveness.
How could some people bear to use
that stuff and continue to appear in
publicl Well, one thing was certain
nobody would ever see her rivaling
an October sunset. Then horrors She
remembered she had forgot to wash

High Speed Steel Without Tungsten.

High Speed Steel Without Tungsten.
"A new high speed steel of British
origin is without tungsten in its COM
position and advantages of both
practical and economical nature are
claimed. 1t is cobalt-molybdenum
steel. the cobalt apparently acting as
a stabiIizer and as correcting certain
disadvantages said to exist in molyb-
derum-tungsten steels. The new steel
IS claimed to possess the highest point
OF efficiency ever obtained. The hard
ening temperature required is only in
the neighborhood of 1900 degrees
Fahrenheit. The steel is also reported
to machine exceptionally soft and cas-
lily The specific gravity of como steel
is reported to be equal to that of the
old carbon tool steel, and so 10 per
cent less than that. Of the tungsten

estimated that a given weight of como
steel win produce 10 per cent more
tools than the same weight of regular

TENNESSEE AND SUFFRAGE

i Within a month the LeSlsla-
ture of Tennessee will meet in
special session to act on the
woman suffrage amendment to
the Federal constitution, and it IS
generally believed that ratihca-
ton by Tennessee is essential to
enable the women of the nation
TO vote in the Presidential and
Congressional elections this fall
In those States where State sui
frage has not been given them.
If Tennessee ratifes, it will be
the 36th State to do SO and the
amendment will be line to be-
come a part of the constitution,
Opponents point to the fact that
the Tennessee constitution for
bids the legislature to ratity an
amendment to the Federal consti-
tuition unless it has been elected
after the amendment has been.
proposed. The Governor of the
State. however, has called the
special session upon being advls-
ed by the Federal Department OF
Justice that the Supreme Court
opinion in the Ohio liquor refer
endum case settles the law that
no State has power to make any
provision regarding the adoption
of an amendment TO the Federal
constitution when that instru-
ment itself prescribes the man
ner of ratification. Thus a rati-.
hcation by Tennessee, valid un-
der the Federal constitution,
could not be attacked in the
courts because the Legislature
had ignored or violated the State
constitution in acting on the pro-
posed amendment.
Governor Cox's first act after
being advised of his nomination
for President by the Democratic
national convention at San Fran
cisco was to wire the governor
of Louisiana in favor of suffrage
ratification, and he is said by the
Woman's National Party to have
been uniformly active for suf-
frage. On the other hand, Sen
ator Harding is described as
"dilatery" on the question. He
voted for suffrage, when fatty
confronted with the necessity of
saying yes" or mo-" but always
backed off from giving a decisive
answer ON other occasions.
The voters of the country.
therefore, have before them two
nominees, both OF whom are If
