Do You Educate Your chiIdrsn2

Most parents provide for their chill
dren; some take personal care of their
children; but few, indeed, are they who
can be forced to take any part in the
education of their children. education
having become the business of schools.
a factory process, turned over entirely
to the public. Here and there is a sub
lime parent who plOds doggedly over
the alphabet and the algebra, getting
an education for himself at this late
day; but such are rare, the run of par
ents putting their babes into the kin

incubator, while they themselves slip

Mast-Furnishinq Tree.

In Canada and eastern United
States the larch, sturdy tree, which
belongs to the pine family, often grows
80 or 60 feet high and is generally
known as hackmatack, while in the
Central states it is called tamarack.
The European variety is even taller
and has longer leaves which don beau
tiful autumn tints before falling.
On account Of its long, tapering
form, the tree is extremely useful for
maSts in sailing vessels. telegraph
poles, and a variety of purposes, and
as it is common from the Arctic circle
to the United States, it is easily found
for the especial use for which ii is
adapted.

PEAK WHERE NOAH LANDED
Mount Ararat, in Northwestern Per-
STA, Is Now Part of a Recently
Created "Buffer" State.

Youthful students of sacred history,
if they will look up the map Of the
near East, will find in the extreme
northwestern part of Persia a noun
tain peak marked Mount Ararat. That
should give them a fine starting point,
for they will remember that it was on
Mount AraTat that Noah. in the Bib
lical account landed. Mount Ararat
is the lOftiest peak in Azerbaidjan,
1900 feet above sea level. hut if they
have neglected news from Europe
they may not know that Azerbaidian
is a new republic established by the
political strife in eastern Europe in
the expectation that it will act as a
political and military buffer for some
Of the great nations.
The inhabitants of AZerbaidian are
PerSianS, Armenians. Kurds, Tartar
Turks and Arabs, whose valleys are
veritable garden spots. 1t ranks in
statistics as one of the most prOduc-
tive spots in all Persia, but young
readers will find their chief interest in
the fact that 1t contains Mount Ara
rat, which gave Noah his first shelter,
according to the accepted narrative.
The erection of Azerbaidjan as a buff
fer state brings the remote past and
the immediate present together in a
way which may also awaken the in
terest of those who have moved past
the years of youthful curiosity.-Pitts-
burgh Dispatch.

MAKES THE SAPPHIRE BLUSH
7adium Treatment Turns the Cheaper
Stones to Rubies Which Com
mand the Highest Prices.

Modern science has not brought US
very much nearer the magic stone Of
the old philosophers. but it has enabled
later experts to play some surprising
tricks with the existing materials Of
the jeweler and lapidary. The old
alchemistS set out to discover the phi
IOsopher's stone. and achieved gunpOw-
der and other adjuncts to civilization
as the accidental by-product of their
original inquiry. Their less credulOus
descendants reverse the process; the
invention is made first and its applica-
ton to magic is discovered afterward.
The existence of the electric furnace
makes it possible to create diamonds
that are the veritable stone, and to
fuse clippings and fragments of ruby
into one complete jewel. Now arrives
report that with the aid of radium
successful transformations have been
made in the appearance, if not in the
nature. Of certain precious stones. A
sapphire, it is said, has been turned
into glorious ruby by long exposure
to the effect of radium. Chemically
considered, this is not very surprising,
for the two stones are both examples
Of COrundum, and the mysterious acct
dent of color is the principal difference
between them. If a sapphire can be
made to blush hard enough for its
mistake in not being a ruby, pre-
sumably it could blush itself into
most accomplished example of the
more valuable stone.

HACKERS
T0PROTECF PUBLIC
City Club Group Favors Indem.
nifty Plan As Means Of
Stricter Control.

Reiterating the charges that certain
public hackers in Washington are en-
gagged in the boof1egging and white
slave trade, the police protection COM
mittee of the City Clubs public safety
group last night in a preliminary re-
port presented recommendations des-
signed to eliminate. or, at any rate.
minimize, the Illicit traffic.
Claude w. Owen, chairman of the
committee, offered the recommends
tions following a months investiga-
ton of the situation. The investiga-
ton is by no means complete, how
ever, and the group will not act def
nitely in the matter until the commit
tee has submitted its formal and final
report.
The committee at this stage of it's
investigation suggests that the al
legged serious hacking situation would
be greatly remedied by requiring each
hacker to present evidence OF his
moral character before being granted
a license, by requiring the hacker to
furnish bond as a guaranty against
aw-breaking. by requiring the hacker
to furnish an indemnity bond or take
out ample insurance to protect passen-
gers In case of injury due to negli-
gence Of the hacker, and by putting
all public hackers under control of
the Public Utilities Commission.
