The school principal had been busy
all day selecting children from the

work. She was very tired and also
very much pre-occupied when the jani-

John came from down state to the
city schools. He was placed in the
seventh grade, and then his teachers
troubles began. His mother thought
the course OF study should be identical
with the one which had held sway in
the faraway red scheolnouse. She OBJ
jected sfrenuously to physical culture
and music, saying they were a waste
OF time.
# And then came Johns FIRST day at
manual training. The next day came
an indignant note to the teacher from
Johns mother. It read: "Dear Miss

waste his time at school. That music
and physical torture exercise was bad

PURE WATER For HoLY CITY
British Have Repaired Pontius Pilates
Reservoir and Death Rate Has

] Jerusalem, situated outside the val

small spring, the Virgins fount. so
named because it is believed the Moth
ser of Christ drew water from it. Ever
since Solomon's uay the want of wa

British, since their occupation, decid-
led to repair and use the old reser-
jyoil, now known as Birkett ASsoub
land lying q few miles to the south Of
iSelomop's pool. It was built by Pom.
titus Plate and it was from here that
he brought water to the city in the
days of Christ. Pilates cid reservoir
was repaired and enlarged. its capac-
ity today being 100000 gallons. Gal
leries were built in various directions
ito tap the numerous surrounding
springs, Including those of Ain ed Dir
web, in which, it is said, Philip hap
tized the eunuch. A powerful pump
ing plant, was installed by which the
water is pumped UP to large reservoirs
built on higher ground on the, Hebron
road, the water flowing from here
by its own gravity in one-foot iron
pipe to twin pools on the hill west Of
the city, from whence it is conducted
to various standpipes In and around

COMBINE ART WITH "MOvIEs"
How City Of Toledo, O., Attracta
Children to Its Museum, for
=. Educational Purposes.

IN order to attract the children OF
Toledo to that city's museum Of srt
the museum management offers it's lit
tie visitors "story hours" gallery
talks, music hours, classes in pure and
applied design and the educational
motion picture. Interest in visits to
the museum was first stimulated
through the medium Of an organized
bird club. Thousands Of children
have also been brought to the
museum during the last four years
by means of the annual vegetable and
flower shows in which the children
have participated.
"The Toledo museum was the first
to include motion pictures in its edu-
cational plan when, in the autumn OF
1915, the necessary equipment was
presented through the efforts Of H. 7.
Barnes, then assistant to the di-
rector" writes Eula Lee Anderson Of
Toledo. ''This proved not only q fur
ther magnet to attract boys and girls
to the museum but further means
Of teaching art. During the first few
years films dealing with travel, crafts
and art were difficult, to secure, yet by
diligent search many fine things were
made available, including the life OF
Palissy, the famous potter, and
beautiful hand-colored film showing
the making Of silk.
"The policy OF the museum is not
to amuse by means of the film. but
to educate the child along artistic
lines, using only such productions as
are of distinctly cultural quality"

ALUMINIUM TO REPLACE WOOD
Increased Production OF the Metal
Will Relieve Drain Upon the coun-
trys Vanishing Forests.

One of the greatest consumers OF
wood is the shipping box. For this
purpose no fewer than 100000 cords
were used last year. Viewed from
any standpoint, it is gigantic draft
upon our forest resources.

Will largely take the place Of wood for
the making Of shipping cases. Which

speaking, is cheap metal now, but it
is destined to be vastly cheaper.
When one considers that aluminium
constitutes more than 7sper cent Of the

PLAGUE OF OLD EGYPT BACK
Crops Of Argentine Province De-
stroyed by Loeusts That Swarm
in Uncounted Millions.

Shades of the plaques Of ancient
Egypt!
: Santa Fe province of the Argentine
now has complete faith in the biblical
account of the scourge Of locusts, for
at times millions of these insects
"cover the face of the earth" They
GENE suddenly and without warning,
in great clouds, and settle down on
the country. Then the ground resem-
bles a great moving carpet. Little
damage is done at first. though the
Argentinians find it inconvenient to
have locusts throughout their houses,
but as the insects move through the
country, they dig small holes and lay
their eggs. Soon the larvae are
hatehed, and at that time. before they
can fly, they are destructive. By the
time they are ready to leave. every
living thing in their path is destroyed.
Eventually they fly away to parts un-
known, and the farmers have to start
their crops over again. Squads Of To-
Gust destroyers, like fre-fghting units,
are maintained by the government to
combat the pest, and ranchers are also
responsible for fighting them. Their
efforts are almost unavailing, how
ever, because of the Dnyriads Of the
insects.

was also born of the sea likewise the
ghostly crew coming from the wreck
Of a sunken ship to haunt the crew CT
the vessel which caused their loss.
A more annoying variety Of super
stition was revealed the other day by
the action Of the crews OF two Amer
lean tugs who deserted their boats at
Quebec. Before these two boats left
Detroit bound for New York q fortune
teller predicted tie doom OF one OF
the boats before it finished its vcy-
age. This prophecy so worked on the
sensibilities Of the members Of the two
crews that they struck on reaching
Quebec. Old salts might sniff at such
a prophecy as this as being of the
fresh-water brand and not worthy to
be enrolled in the ancient and honor
able company of deep-sea superstitions,
but the prophecy worked its evil upon
the tug owners. The loss of their
