MR.. RINCWALT WRITES
FOR TWO MAGAZINES
Mt. Vernon Man Has Inter-
estins Articles In Two
Recent Magazines

Mr.. Ralph Curtis Rinswalt OF the J.
s. Ringwalt Co., this city, Harvard
graduate of the class of 1895, has been
getting prominently into print this
fall. .,,5,dt M
In the Harvard Graduates magazine
for September, he has d scholarly ar.
ticle, both a criticism and an appre.
citation Of the small and the large col.
lege of his school days. In the Lit.
erary Digest, for Oct. 8, Mr.. Ringwalt
is the author OF an excellent book
review of Sir George Arthur's Life
Of Lord Kitchener" which is published
by the Macmillan company of New
York.
The Harvard story Is entitled "Coi.
lege-Twenty.flve Years After" The
author strikes his theme in the very
first sentence OF the article. "The re.
mark of President Garfield, that the
opportunity to sit on log with Mark
Hopkins was college enough for him,
has Illuminated many talks on educa-
ton. Most frequently and character
istically, perhaps, It has been quoted
to support the thesis that the essence
of all education is the contact of an
immature with great mind"
Mr. Ringwalt carries this theme
throughout his paper. He shows that
the greatest things he got from col.
lege life and the greatest that he has
observed others got, were sparks from
the grindings Of the mighty men of
the schools whether large or small. In
his concluding paragraph he states
that whatever we may think of the
education is personal con.
tact, one simply cannot escape the
fact" He believes that the colleges
are due for change and re-grouping
after the manner of the English uni.
versities. He says: "To me It seems
that the colleges are more open to !
change than the schools" And in this
group plan every student would come
in personal contact with the minds of |
the school, whether large or small. |
He also thinks that as we grow, edu-
cational institutions Will demand |
teachers rather than men who can

BROKEN; DEATH
COMES QUICKLY
Alenzo Jenkins Killed While
Working AT The c. & G.
Cooper Plant
Workmen Witness The Acct
dent; Jenkins Lived But
Fifteen Minutes

David Lawrence jenkins, 81, a we'll
known resident Of Mt. Vernon, wa:
fatally injured at 1880 o'clock Wednes
day morning while at work on the
second floor Of the pattern shop Of the
c. & G, Cooper Co.
Mr.. jenkins lived but fifteen minutes
after the accident. tsf,.
Mr.. jenkins was measuring circu
lar pattern, which was in motion o.
one of the turning lathes on the north
side of the shop floor. He was using
o steel straight edge for the measure.
ment. Evidently, from the way the in
strument was knocked, he was pulling
it across the front of the pattern when
the left end was permitted to come
into contact with the inside of the re.
volving circular pattern.
The high speed of the lathe and the
weight of the pattern drove the
straight edge out of Mr.. jenkins hands
and plunged it into his neck Just un-
der the right side of the chin. He fell
to the floor in front of the machine,
unconscious. He did not utter cry.
Foreman Edward Vernon and Lon
Robinson, who were near by on the
shop floor, rushed to Shis aid. Robin
son made an attempt to revive
Jenkins, while Vernon called DR.. S. E.
Deeley. Within 10 minutes after the
accident both DR.. Deeley and Miller &
O'Bryan's ambulance men were at the
side of the stricken man.
A hurried examination by the ply.
sician showed him that all human aid
was useless, as Jenkins was about to
breathe his last. He died while they
were making the examination. The
jolt evidently broke his neck.
Mr.. Jenkins was one of the most
popular men around the pattern shop
and has been employed there most. OF
the time for the past 80 years. "Lon
was very quiet this morning when he
came into the shop" said one Of his
fellows. "He usually leads the talk
before the whsle blows" but this
morning he had nothing to say, and !
thought he was feeling ILL.," Work in
the shop had just got under way when
the accident occurred.
Mr.. Jenkins was 81 years of age. He
resided on North Mckenzie street. He
is survived by his wife and one daugh.
ter, Mrs. Shellenbarger of this city. He
was member of the Independent Or.
der of Odd Fellows of Mt. Vernon.
David Lawrence Jenkins was born
in 1859 on Liberty township farm,
He was the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dav.
id Jenkins. Throughout his life he
followed the carpenter trade and the
trade Of pattern maker, while employ
ed at the Cooper plant.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Nellie Jenkins, and by one daughter,
Mrs. William Shellenbarger of Mount
Vernon.
The funeral services will be held
from HIS late home on Mckenzie
street on Friday afternoon at 1870
o'clock. Rev. J. A. Long of the Vine
Street Church Of Christ will have
charge. Burial will be made in Mound

ONLY A KITTEN
q sd
It was Sunday.

It was Sunday.
A day when soft kindly sentiment
should prevail and the sweet slogan
Live and let live" reigned in every
manly breast.
A car speeding toward Pearl river
contained some Zen and a little
fuzzy patch of fur.
1t was only a kitten, brought into
the world three weeks previously by
the creative power of Supreme Be
ing.
While the car continued speeding,
a rough hand seized the fuzzy patch,
tossed it to the side of the road, lev
eled a pistol and fired.
The cruel bullet tore away part of
the throat and broke a bone in the
shoulder
The fuzzy patch leaped eonvulsive-
ly into the air and dropped appar-
emily lifeless.
The wonderful vitality of the little
kitten aroused it later, when it cried
piteously for help.
A good Samaritan passed that way
about midnight and, flashing a light
in a ditch, brought forth the little
patch of fur and took it to his house,
where medical attention was given.
While the wounds were being
dressed, the round, honest gray eyes
looked into the face of its benefactor

N A AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Roads Built Two Thousand Years Ago
Are Still In Active Service
How Constructed.

Two thousand years ago the Romans
built roads, some OF which are still
In active service. These roads have
lasted through the centuries simply
because of their massive construction.
The Romans built four successive
courses or layers on the earth sub
grade, carefully prepared and drained.
First came the statumen or founda-
ton, then the rodus, next the nucleus,
and finally the pavimentum or wearing
surface, says n writer. The statumen
consisted Of large fiat stones, while the
two intervening courses were built Of
smaller stones laid In lime mortar.
To carry the chariot and packhorse
traffic of Roman times, these roads
were seemingly ridiculously heavy, yet
the wisdom of the builders was amply
demonstrated by the 500 years dur
ing which the Roman road system
formed the backbone OF the transporta-
ton system of what was the greatest
empire Of all time.
We can learn n mighty profitable
lesson from the Romans, and If we
take the lesson to heart now, standing
as we do on the threshold Of a new
highway era, we shall save ourselves
much pecuniary sorrow.

EXCUSE FOR CEAsINc WORK

The Russian working people have
always seized upon Christmas as an
excuse for ceasing all work for a some.
what lengthy period-sometimes for a
month. Before the recent revolution
"Kolenda" was the celebration on
Christmas eve. when the peasants
gathered about the houses of the no.
bles, sang carols and scrambled for the
coins tossed to them from the win
dows. Then came a great masquerade,
when peasants of all ages dressed
themselves to represent animals, the
idea being to perpetuate the memory
OF the lowllness Of the Saviour's birth
In the stable.
