Victory OF COURAGE.

The man or woman who ventures
much may fall often. but he will
achieve in proportion to those very
failures because he will use each one
as stepping stone to higher effort.
But the man or woman who quib-
0les, reconsiders, hesitates and weighs
every gain against greater loss is a
predestined failure, because his very
altitude should be avoided.
He who falls with his face forward
in the battle is not a failure, but a
hero. Failure lies in turning the back
on the foe, to retreat before the en-
envy.
When we speak of success we
should not think in terms OF money
or position or fame, but of moral
courage. high endeavor, honorable
achievement. And when these are
translated into active service the
world will become that Utopia of
which so much has been written and
sung.-Mllwaukee Sentinel.

OYSTER RAISING IN HOLLAND
Highly Scientific Methods Employed In
That Country Have Been Re-
markedly Successful.

In the industry represented by oyster
cultivation. Holland is the most sys-
tematie in its operations and employs
more elaborate methods than any other
country in the world. The numerous
sounds that indent the coast of Hol-
land, particularly In the region of the
River Scheldt. afford excellent facili-
ties for the propagation Of the oyster
and enable the country to conduct the
most successful oyster industry In Eu-
rope. Public dredging is not permitted,
as the result of that system was the
threatened exhaustion Of the fisheries,
and the beds have been carefully sur
veyed and specific tracts IRE leased
TO individuals and companies, who are
thus enabled 10 conduct the propaga-
ton of the oyster IN a systematic man
ner that insures the best results from
the territory available. Many growers
lease several tracts in different locali-
ties, and adapted to different purposes,
which facilitates the various opera
lions. as the oysters can be shifted
from one place TO another according
TO the season and the stage Of de-
yelopment. A few OF the oystermen
plant shells on the banks, as is done In
many places In this country, but the
largest and most successful propa-
gators are equipped with their own
tanks and ponds, located in conven-
lent shallow bays. In which they carry
on the culture.

SPIDERS THREAD HAS VALUE
struction of Telescopes for the
Astronomer.

The threads of the garden spider
are fixed by astronomers in their tele-
scopes for the purpose of giving fine
lines to the field of view, by which
the relative positions of stars may be
accurately measured.
For q century astronomers desired
to make use Of such lines of the great
est possible fineneSs, and procured at
first silver wire drawn out to the ex-
treme limit of tenuity attainable with
that metal. They also tried hairs
(1-500th of an inch thick), and threads
of the silkworms cocoon, which are
split into two component threads,
each only 1-200th of an inch thick. But
In 1920 an English Observation-Disclosures
named Throughton introduced the
spiders line This can be readily OBJ
tained three or four times smaller
than the silkworms thread, and has
also advantages in its strength and
freedom from twist.
In order to obtain the thread the
spider is carefully fixed on a minia-
ture rack" and the thread. which at
the moment of issue from the body is
a viscid liquid is made to adhere to
a winder, by turning which the desired
length of firm but elastic thread can

RAIL MEN ASK
BILLION RAISE

WASHINGTON, March 21.---The
conference of railroad managers
which will meet here tomorrow will
face demands of approximately ST.
00,000,000 annual wage increases to
be made by about 100000 workers.
The demands are the same as those
presented to Director of Railroads
Hines about year ago
The conference was arranged by
President Wilson following the pass
age of the Esch- Cummings Railroad
bill The purpose is to make com
plete investigation of wages and gen
eral working conditions.
When the railroad men made the
demands on Director Hines, President
Wilson asked them to reconsider their
claims, on the ground that the high
prices on which they were based were
not permanent.
1t is understood the railroad man
ayers will attempt to show the de-
mands Of the workers cannot be met

JOHNSON SEES
BIG ISSUES
IN CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Sen-
ator Hiram Johnson, of California,
running for the Republican nomin-
alton for President as hard as he
knows how, is not only willing but
is anxious for everyone to know it.
He has positive views on nearly
all public questions and gives express
ion to them with rare candor and UNI
usual vigor. He is almost equally
free-spoken regarding personalities
associated with some of the public
questions.
For example, there is the question
of what lies ahead in the League of
Nations fight, in which the Senator
has been one of the chief of the Re-
publican irreconcilables. Senator
Johnson confidently expects the ques-
ton to be dominant in the campaign,
although the pact has been rejected;
thinks that it ought to be dominant
in the campaign, and, with a few
others, intends tosdo everything pos
sible to make it dominant.
