How ENGLAND Honors Nurses.

Honors paid to Edith Cavell have
brought to light the fact that England
delights to honor women who give
their best to the profession Of nursing.
The first statue in the country raised
to a woman, other than royalty, was
that Of Dorothy Pattison in Wallsall,
as memorial for her work during the
smallpox epidemic in Staffordshire in
1867, while figure of Florence Night
ingale stands In Waterloo place. This
statue was, on the day Of the home
coming Of Edith Cavell's body, pro-
fusely decorated with handsome
wreaths from an unknown donor.

ROMANTIC STORY OF AMBER
Why Lithuaniars Are Convinced the
Sea Has Been Known to Give
Up It's Dead.

Originally the earth was white-hot
mass Of gaseous vapor. That was too
long ago for even the oldest inhab
itants to remember, because the heat
was 80 intense that there was no such
thing as an inhabitant on the earth.
The only way we know it is by seeing
other planets so young that they are
still nothing but unbelievably hot gas.
After a while the earth cooled off
bit. Instead of gas, it was solid
mass, but white-hot still-then red
hot-then cool enough to allow some
primitive form of vegetable life. Be
fore long, in about a million years or
so, the earth became cool enough to
have flourishing vegetable garden on
It's surface.
Some parts Of the earth continued
to develop until Adam and Eve came
on the scene. Lithuania, the new Bal
tic republic, had just about reached
the Adam-and-Eve stage when 1t got
drowned out Of sight. The whole coun-
try literally disappeared. 1t was COW
cred by the sea.
There is a common belief that the
sea never gives up it's dead. It isn't
true. Any Lithuanian will tell you
50. For the sea not only withdrew.
but in withdrawing It left Lithuania a
gift without price. Amber it was,
that glowing golden jewel Of delight.
The Baltic coast Of Lithuania, in fact,
is the only place in the world where
milady can get the amber which goes
into the beautiful necklace she COW
cts 80 much.

The Baseball Example
DUT take the working out of the
- average in baseball.
There Is Ty Cobb for one example.
Cobb comes to bat ten times, and in
the course of the season his average
for each ten times at the bat will be
3.S hits. -,
The other 6.2 times will find him hit
less.
He fails at bat almost twice as often
as he succeeds. Yet you rarely hear
any one discussing the 81 failures.
Cobb, making 3.S hits out of ten
times at bat. is q star.
The ball player who makes three hits
out of ten times up is first class pro-
ducer.
Which shows that the figured average
is a good bit kindlier in its attitude
than the average human.
