Honor Absolutely Individual

Honor is something else than noto-

different from fame or character.
Nororiety is current familiarity with
mans name, which is given by much
mention of 1t arising from any kind
Of conduct. Reputation is favorable
notoriety as distinguished from fame,
which is permanent approval of great

Azores Once the Object Of
Scientific Interest Owing
to the Volcanic EruptionS

The Azores islands were made the
objects of scientific interest by the
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
while the former were alive. Sub
oceanic eruptions. sometimes piling up
islands which soon disappeared, were
characteristic phenomena.
The Azores comprise three groups
Of islands, their total area being less
than that of Rhode Island. Their
population is about 100000, most Of
the inhabitants being Portuguese.
About the middle of the fifteenth CEN
tury the Portuguese sent expeditions
to settle on these islands. One island,
Fayal, was presented by Alfonso v
of Portugal. to his aunt, Isabella.
duchess of Burgundy. 1t was upon
her marriage to Philip the Good. duke
of Burgundy, that he founded the
famous knightly order of the Golden
Fleece.
Columbus halted at the Azores on
his way home after discovering Amer
lea, to offer thanks. On Santa Maria
is the church where he knelt.

Children Provided For in
Inheritance Laws of Belgium

The law Of Inheritance in Belgium
Is OF nature to promote thrift, or
rather, to prevent the dissipation of
property, because 1t makes the family
possessions common fund in which
children have defined rights, observes
an exchange. The law treats the prop
erty Of the father and mother as one.
When either dies the whole property
Is valued and half goes to the sur
vivor. The remaining half is divided
into equal parts among the children.
On the death of the other parent the
second half. with whatever accretions
he or she may have made in the in
terval. is subdivided among the chill
dren. The law is automatic, the chill
dren know the proportion in which
they will benefit and the parents can
not ALLEVIATE their property.

War, Execution of Saloons
and Disappearance Of Free
Lunch Ro0mS-Hobo No More.

What has become of the old-time
hobo?
Not that anybody wants him back
terry.
To be sure, the war cleaned him
out, but even SO. he was diminish
ing quantity before the bugle called.
Chief Thomas Shaughnessy Of Mad
ison, Wis.,, like many other police
chiefs, reports that the tramp has
ceased to be problem for him and
that the hobo is extinct.
Despite the war, 1t is still puzzle
to Madison's custodian of the law what
has become of the 2,605 hoboes who
have disappeared from Madison in the
last five years. In 1914, the total
number of dodgers at the police sta
tion was 2,S20 in comparison with 215
in 1919.
The extinction or execution of the
saloon is one contributing factor to
the lack of "boes" according to Chief
Shaughnessy. Disappearance of free
lunches and slumbering joints have
set the tramps to working for bread
| ana butter. Scarcity of labor during
the war forced lot of the triflers to
| work. And n lot learned how to work
In the army, says the chief.
In 1914, 2,S20 dodgers registered at
the police station; in 1915, 3,4S6; in
1916. 1920; in 1917, LOGS; in 1918. 156 ;
and In 1919. 215. The almost steady
decrease in numbers is shown by a
comparison of the dodgers in the
months of December during the five
years which show 313 dodgers at the
police station in 1914; SIS in 1915 (;
1855 in 1916; 40 in 1917; Is in 1918, and
only several In 1919.
