1t is natural that such organizations
greet the return Of real competition with
the keenest satisfaction.
Surely their intimate share in the des-
tinies of the industry has given them an
interest and obligation toward it quite
apart from the profits with which the years
have rewarded them, and which the future
promises,

Why NE Acclaim the
Ne1U Competition

Certainly Hudson and Essex do not
regret the new situation. Nor do those
other great companies who established the
worth of their product in that sharply COM
petitive period when outstanding merit
was the only title to survival.

FuX RebayMent

And now, our watchfuness in cleaving
to every principle that guards the quality
of our product, is repaid in the knowledge
that Hudson and Essex cars, built even
under the pressure of overwhelming de-
mands, reveal faithful, unhastened adher-
ence to the standards that gave them such
high place in the good opinion of motor
lists.
How we have succeeded is perhaps best
shown by the public's acceptance of our
products-Essex with $4,000 cars in serv-
ice, though just two years old-the Hudson
Super-Six the largest selling fine car in
the world.

MANY ENGLISH WORDS FL

. 1 d Ag 3
Through the crusades Europe came
into contact with Arabia and gained
immense profit from the intercourse
which followed, with a people more
highly civilized than its own inhabi-
tants. It must not be forgotten that
the Arabians in Asia and the MoOrs
in Spain kept the sacred torch Of
learning .alight while Europe still
CROPPED in the darkness Of semi

To the Arabs we are indebted for
the preservation Of Aristotle, and
for much Of our knowledge Of Gre
clan astronomy and medicine, which
reached Europe through translations
from Arabic into Latin. Many Of our
current English words came direct
from tho Arabic, such as zero, al
nanac, algebra, cipher, nadir, zenith,
allsali, camphor, alcohol, and amber.
These, words with their pronun-
citation and definition, are all to he

Curious Irish Vault.

In q quiet back street Of Dublin is
the Church Of st. Michan's, and in it's
vaults may be seen one Of the strang.
est sights Of the country. There lie
the bodies Of people buried centuries
ago, which, owing to some curious
preseryative properties Of the air or
soil Of that particular place, never de.
cay. Their skins "tan" into flexible
cllamois-like leather. The limbs can
be moved about with ease, the finger
nails are perfect, and in some cases
the features are fairly distinct. This
is especially the case with the body
Of an infant, buried in 1893. There
is in another vault body said to be
that Of Crusader, and in another one
said to be that Of q brother Of King
O'Toole. One very gruesome sight is
that of the headless bodies Of two
unfortunates who were beheaded dur
!: Ing the famous rebellion Of '98.

DR.. EMANUEL STERNHEIM OF
BOSTON LECTURED

DR.. Emanuel 'Sternheim, the noted
lecturer and publicist, delivered a
series of twenty-one lectures before
the student body and classes of the
Summer School, last week.
DR.. Sternheim was for years a lead
ing figure in social settlement work
in London. Twelve years ago he
came to America and entered into
social settlement work in Cleveland,
Ohio; from Cleveland he was called
to be the Rabbi of the large Jewish
congregation at Sioux City, Iowa. He,
however, found himself restricted by
the duties devolved upon the leader
of a great congregation. He is at
present employed by the State Board
of Education at New York and gives
at least one week of each month to
the intensive Americanization CAM
paign which New York is putting on.
Minneapolis also employs him one
week out of each month for the same
purpose. The other two weeks of each
month DIR. Sternheim uses for his
private lecture engagements.
DIR. Sternheim is probably one of
the most profound scholars that ever
appeared upon the platform at the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School and
the student body seemed to recognize
him as such At the close of his last
general lecture the applause of ap-
probation was little short of an ova-
ton.
During the three days that DR..
Sternheim was at the Normal School
he delivered twenty-one lectures. Five
Of these lectures were delivered be-
fore the general student body and the
others were special lectures delivered
before the classes in the various de-
partments of the Normal School. DIR.
Sternheim's series of lectures con-
stituted~a fitting close for the lectures
that have been given on the Normal
School platform this summer. The
list of lecturers include: Superintend-
ent W. S. Heusner of Salina; Superin-
tendent L. W. Mayberry of Wichita; !;
DR.. A. E. Winship, Editor of the Jour
nal of Education; DR.. J. L. McBrien,
Director of Rural Education, Wash.
ington, D. c.; DIR. D. W. Kurtz, Presi
dent of Mcpherson College, and DR..
