"GaIIery Of Mirrors" Named
From Glasses Which Were
More Precious Than Rubies

"Galerie Des Glaces." or the "Gal-
Iery of Mirrors" at the Palace Of Yer
sailles, gets its name from II beveled
mirrors, which were more precious
than rubies before glassmaking was
reduced to q science. Opposite each
mirror is a window, these windows
overlooking the famous gardens which
were scenes of royal revelries and
regal pomp.
In these gardens all the sculptors
Of standing In France were COM
Wandered for innumerable pieces.
Piped waters spout from mouths Of
gilded frogs and lizards, fauns play
flutes, and dragons kidnap cupids,
while stately old trees give one touch
Of nature against this supremely
artificial setting in these gardens.
The mirrors ere framed in works
of art and surmOunted by paintings.
One series of these paintings depicts
In flambOyant scenes the career OF
Louis XIV. Originally tables and
chairs In this hall were of solid sill
yer. The ensemble was typical of the
emptiness of the yoke from which
France freed herself.

Man Must Be Busy-Have
Hobby or Be Entertained

Man can rise only as he grows out
Of limiting habits. This Is the high
est test Of worth. Habits become so
much a part Of the individual that 1t
Is hard TO throw them off. They are
the builders of character. Let alone,
habits determine our conduct and set
the limits of our possibilities. The
wholesome habits-hablts Of industry
and balance-we want to cultivate and
develop. Habits that create appetites,
set limitation and resultant weakening
of the powers we want to grow out of.
Man must be busy. If he has surplus
unengaged time he must have q hobby
or be entertained. He must grow out
Of idleness into industry.

Advance Two Theories in
Origin OF West Indies

The origin of the West Indies Is to
be studied by naturalist who recent
ly sailed from New York City for ia
maica. Scientists hold two support
able theories in this matter The first
theory makes Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti
and Porto Rico mere fragments of the
American continent 1t supposes that
they were isolated by depression be-
low sea level of the surrounding areas.
The second theory sees the islands as
independent uprisings from the ocean
bed, caused by combination of vol
canic upheavals, foldings in the earth's
crust, and coral growth.

any one thing that is being done by
any one OF them-and it forces the
men who are about recovered and who
do not need to learn a trade, to be-
come very ambitious. ..'
In this shop, where only the conva-
lescent come, the aide doesn't find so
much to do to keep the men cOntented.
Away from her ward in this broader
atmosphere they are more patient
about home difficulties and willing to
face the responsibility of managing the
home farm for parent more disabled
than the son, not only with good cheer,
but with real observation-disclosures man
stating that his responsibility was so
great that he really couldn't afford the
time to get lined up in dairying.
Across in a second corridor the men
are sick. The aide says: "Oh, so sick,
with such awful wounds to be dressed"
Therefore, she sees that each man gets
in touch with the Red Cross, or repre-
sentative Of the war risk insurance,
or whatever will satisfy him. Petty
troubles bother He can hardly pass

1t has taken so much effort to give
this balanced service and TO be the
connecting link between the mans
army and civilian life, to always be
on the hopeful side, that she has won
the confidence of the men-just as If
she, too, had gone over the top in serv-
ice. Uncle Sam didn't tell her to do
this, but in this large hospital she has
done it, and it has made recOnstruc-
ton one of the biggest influences in
war work.
The reader will hardly realize what
it means for these men to take this
initiative until he remembers that for
months, ever since they left home, they
have been asked to let go of all their
own plans, to forget ambition, to let
others think personally for them, and
to submit to the will Of others. These
soldiers were not just to play at letting
CO. They had really let go, otherwise
they could not look constantly toward
one idea-that of the reason for the
war; and the way to win it. SO when
it's over, it's like bringing ones self
back to life again. No wonder there
is drama in this work.
This reconstruction program is be
ing carried out by trained workers from
among the people. 1t remains for the
home communities to continue the
work as the discharged men return
The first step is understanding the
men. 1t Is what they crave most. On
this account the influence of recon
struction in the military hospitals
should be known by the public.
