waterproof Matches.

Campers and picnickers will hall
with delight the new waterproof match
which can be easily made at home in
the following way: Melt few Jumps
of candle wax in an old can on the
stove. Allow this to cool a little and
then, before it has SET, dip the matches
in, one at time Treat the heads
and about half of the wooden part
Place the matches on one side to cool.
Matches tr iated in this simple manner
have been soaked in water for many
hours, and they have ignited as readily
as those which we're perfectly dry, The
only difference is that, in striking, 1t Is
needfuI to do so a trife more firmly so
as to get through the thin film of wax
surrounding the head. When once the
tame starts, the match burns very read
lily, owing to the wax which has adj
hered to the wood. Any ordinary
matches can be treated in the manner
described.

Plan shrlnes to Burroughs.

The John Burroughs Memorial as
scciatiOn has started its campaign to
raise funds to purchase and maintain
the various properties of the late nat
uraIisr. 1t is estimated it will take
about $4,000 to purchase them, and
an additional $4,000 to maintain them
the first year.
The association intends to maintain
the Burroughs properties as the nat
uralist himself maintained them. His
working library, some of his original
manuscripts. rifles, shotguns and fish
Ing tackle will be exhibited. 1t Is
the opinion of the association that
shrines to great men, especially
shrines to literary men, are too Few.
and that the many friends and admir-
ers Of John Burroughs will be inter
ested in keeping up the places in
which he lived, studied and labored
in the 81 years Of his life. 1t hopes
to raise funds to maintain these prop

AIR LlFEB0AT BRITISH IDEA
Craft Designed for Sea Rescue Work
Is Soon to Be Given a
Definite "Tryout."

The first lifeboat of the air, which
has been built with great secrecy, is
to be launched soon in England.
After the official trials it will go
through a series of tests with the Brit
ish fleet If it proves to be satisfac-
tory. a large number Of the craft on
much Iarger scale will be constructed.
The design is the outcome Of three
years OF secret research and tests. The
dying lifeb0at viii be able to reach a
vessel in distress ut a speed OF more
than 100 miles an hour, and 1t Is
claimed that it will be able to ride
through the toughest storm with the
confident safety of an Atlantic liner.
The boats are able to taxi along the
water.
Their seaworthlness is to be tested
by sending the first experimental ship
out with the navy, where it is to re-
main at sea for several days without
any mother ship"
The wing span Of the one now near
ing completion is 40 feet. Safety in
the most violent sea will come from
the residence of the hull, which is In
one piece from stem to stern. When
this hull strikes a huge wave it gives
way slightly in much the same way
that a pneumatic tire does when 1t
strikes an obstacle on the road.

CITY WAITS TO BE CLOTHED
Jerusalem Far Fron Being Restored
to the Glory That Has Been
Promise Her.

The view of Jerusalem as one leaves
the Garden OF Ggihsemane draws the
heart with sympathy The walls rise
severely above bare ; Dpes where
nothing grows, for 1t Is outside of the
city proper that biblical prophecies OF
the desolatiop OF Jerusalem seem to
be flHflled.
Today the city stands midway be-
tween the horrors of the Turkish
regime and the promised good of the
British mandatory rule. Nothing has
been done as yet in public way TO
beautify the city. North and west the
houses struggle outside the walls; on
the south forbidding slopes border the
road to Bethlehem, and on the east
lies the terrible Valley of Jehosha'
plata valley of dry bones, William
d. McCracken writes in Asia Maya
zine.
Seventeen times destroyed-bitterly
hated, anxiously sought-how desper-
ate history since Nebuchadnezzar
captured it more than 20 centuries
agol
Redeemed today, but in her naked
ness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed.
She has as yet no grace; no covering
for her ugly wounds. Some day her
sides will glisten with the brightness
of a heavenly radiance; she will be
washed and anointed like bride
waiting for the bridegroom.

CANDIDATE GOT ONE VOT.
Hun,illatlng Practical Joke Played OF
Italian Who Had Made Himself
Politically Unpopular.

Solicitor Gandolf of Cremona,
Italy, besides being a poet, is also a
bombastic meddler in political matters.
Because of this it was arranged by a
party Of jokers to bring him forward
as a candidate for the polls. The cleo
toral committee was duly constituted
and Gandolfi's name was entered on
the government lists.
The unlucky solicitor was lorced
during the fortnight to do his own can
vassing and to drive about from vii
lage to village delivering speeches
When election day came, no voting pa
pers having been distributed by the
committee for him, it was found thar
the only vote he received was his
own. His discontinue may be imag'
ined, but 1t Is said that a radical
cure for his political tendencies has
been found.
A still more unfortunate candidate
was a communist in the same town
named Lodolinl. After the commun
lists had officially announced their in
tentions to carry him, the man disap-
peared. It was found that the FaS-
cisti had seized him at night time and
driven him to Casalmaggiore, where
he was forced under the severest
threats to remain during election time.
Once Lodolini returned to Cremona
to see his wife, but the same night
the Fascist again entered the house
and forced him to dress and drove him
again to seclusion and meditation over

the liberal patronage of the people
of this community, it also closes the
fifth year for the Enterprise under
the present management, during
which time we certainly feel very
grateful to our friends who have
assisted in making it just little
better each year. The number OF
RAIDERS of the Enterprise has ma
terially Increased with each year
which in measure indicates our

home paper has not been in vain.
AS w start on a new year we first,
wish to extend our thanks and ex-
press our appreciation for the liber-
al support by our many patrons in
the past and ask for continuation
in the future. In turning our at
tention to the events of 1922 and
what has traspired during the year
of 1921 as mere history of the past,
we will endeavor to make the En-
terprise a paper that will merit the
same support we have heretofore

BIackbIrd Fed Thrush.

A lady of Penzance who is great
lover of birds, says Mr.. w. 81. Hudson
in his recently published book, "Ad-
ventures Among Birds" noticed that
a blackbird and a thrush always came
together to her lawn where she was in
the habit of placing food for the birds.
Then she noticed that the blackbird
fed the thrush, picking up the crumbs
of bread and putting them into its
mouth. Looking more closely, she dis
covered that the thrush's beak had
been cut OF close to the head, prob
ably by a steel trap or a sudden-death
spring trap, such as the children in
Cornwall commonly use to catch or
kill small birds. The thrush was in
capable Of feeding itself.

ran down crossing flagmen who were

Thus, show the records of R. j.
Clancy, assistant to the general man
ager OF the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, and the best posted man on

in tho West.
In spite of every precaution that
railroads can take to protect the
public against accidents, says Mr..
Clancy. reckless, thoughless, or in
experienced drivers will approach a
railroad crossing as If they were
about to pass over COW trail in an
unused field.
The railroads have spent millions
for overhead crossings, warning sig
nails, fragment and gates at grade
crossings. In spite of this, the aver
age automobile driver will not slow
down, let alone stop, look and listen
He seems to take the attitude that
sits a wonder the fool engineers
wouldn't watch ont when they're
crossing a highway
If automobile drivers kept one
hundreth part as close look out for
trains as engineers do for automo-
biles, the records of accidents would
be greatly diminished No auto
mobile has yet ben invented that
can meet a locomotive successfully

IS GOLF REALLY IRISH GAME7
Suggestion Put Forward, With Some
Jdenee, by Correspondent OF
New York Herald.

Writing to the New York Herald,
devotee Of the 'royal game" puts the
query rs golf, after all, an Irish gamer
In asking the question it is done with
respect and reverence; in no sense To
disturb the settled ease and mental
poise and satisfaction Of ye good scot
or Briton Why the suggestion, how
ever? Simply this: Ireland was the
first Of the Islands to be reclaimed
from Druidism and converted to Chris
tianity. That was in the early Fifth
century After that Scotia or Scotland
became Christian-the Sixth century
England in the Eighth and Germany In
the Ninth century, and all following
and through Irish missionaries. true
also that the Scotch and Irish were
practically all Celt and one people then
and all friendly. Now, then, 1t is OF
the old Irish folklore that st. Patrick
at the famous Druid feast showed az
that the leg of bird was larger than
a quarter of beef (2) that dog could
kill the bird, and CD that three leaves
could jointly subsist on one stem, ana
at that feast there were feats of
strength and art all round" and among
the games was the game of Mine
Holes"
That was the first mention of the
nine hole game, of course. 1t was so
Played in Ireland for centuries. 1t was
the putting Of the ball into each hole
of the nine as laid out. in the course
Therefore the question: Was that game
the forerunner Of its kind in the world,
and if so was 1t the forerunner or key
stone of golf?
