SONGS THAT ARE IMMORTAL
Greatest Minds Of All the Ages Be-
slowed Their labors on the
Poems of Homer.

The nliad and Odyssey were prob
ably sung by Homer about century
and a half after the destruction Of
the town Of Troy following the ten
years of war that was waged In the
cause Of Menelaus, king Of Lacede-
mon, whose cOnsort had been carried
away by the son Of the Trojan mon.

David's psalms. Originally the nliad

tanned at later period it's present
complete state.
About one hundred years after HON.
er. Lycurgus, the lawgiver Of Lace
demon, brought these poems into
Greece, and two centuries and a half
later Pisistratus is supposed to have
given them their perfect form. His
son Hipparcus introduced the custom
Of reciting rhapsodies at the Pana-
thenaia, or festival Of the tutelar god
dess. A more complete edition Of the
Homeric poems, from which the mod
ern ones are taken, was prepared for
Alexander the Great by Aristotle,
which the former used to keep under
his pillow in a golden case. Also
Aratus. the astronomer, Aristarchus of
Samos, and Aristophanes, librarian at
Alexandra, bestowed their labor on
these immortal songs. Because Of the
fine moral sentiment, Homer became

basis, developed all their efforts to re-
building. their damaged plants and
restoring wrecked machinery. The
employees were left to look out for
themselves when 1t came to a matter
of finding shelter.
The restoration of factories went
forward SO rapidly that in the sum-
mer Of 1920 the lodging situation
reached an acute crisis Unless i'm
mediate steps are taken to provide
shelter for the laborers French in
dustry is bound to suffer in 1921.
$4,000 Houses Needed
An investigation by the bureau of
industrial reconstruction of the Min
istry disclosed the fact that at a
very minimum 10000 houses, shell
tering 100000 workers and their
families, must be erected before the
end Of 1921. This estimate does not
take into account the condition in
the mining centers, where thousands
of men already have resumed work.
For this work of reconstruction
alone 1t is estimated that at least
$15O,OOO,000 will be required. Fur
thermore, the needs of 10000 men
who already have resumed work un-
der unsatisfactory housing condi-
lions in many cases, are not consid-
cred.
The first organization to take over
the work Of rebuilding workmen's
homes has been formed in the Lille
district. Manufacturers themselves
subscribed large part Of the funds,
but part of the money was furnished
by the State. To remove the society
from any suspicion, the Minister of
Liberated Regions and the Minister
OF Hygiene have approved the by
laws Of the new organization.
Each society will be limited in it's
operations to certain district set
aside for it. But one or more may
unite in buying or building opera
lions for the purpose of obtaining
lower prices.

MAKE The MOST OF TODAY
All That Has Gone Before ls Past and
the Future Is Clouded With
Uncertainty.

Today is what you have. 1t is also
what you are. And again, Today is
what you do. And if you haven't any,
thing, and aren't anybody, and do
nothing-why, then, for you there is
no Today.
For Today Is music. Today Is art.
Today is literature. Today is joy. To
day is work. Today is play. Today is
life.
Yesterday is no problem-for 1t Is
past, Tomorrow is no problem-for 1t
isn't here. Today is supremacy. To
day is the world. Today is-Oppor-
tunity!
Crowd in upon 1t then. Today-take
hold upon its faintest chance. Spread
your smiles-Today. Be game-To'
day. Be glad and great-Today.
Today is the day-your day.
Today is Time and Change doing Its
job. Are you vital part of the play!
Today you may start out all anew. To
day you may put to use what you
learned a day ago. The center Of your
entire life may revolve about-Today.
But. above all things, do not fear
Today. And let all worry slide. All
things that do not count-let them 60.

Enormous Sharks.

Sharks grow to a tremendous size.
Rondeleti's shark. for instance, which
is an inhabitant Of tropical seas, at
tains q length Of 40 feet. The great
basking shark is even longer. A
young fish of this species, brought to
England and set up, is II feet In
length. Full grown. this shark may
measure so feet and rival the whales
In girth and weight.
Saw-fish have been killed 30 feet In
length, and it is not for moment to
be supposed that we have secured the
largest. The fact is that the natural
history of the seas is still very largely
a sealed book, and that surprises are
still in store for future generations.
