seized by Indians, finally escaped
with three companions and, after
years of wandering through the wilds
found his way back to his own people.
On the journey he had heard of north
ern cities incrusted with turquoise
and paved with gold and silver.
1t was these that Mendoza expected
Fray Marcos to find. Accompanied
by a negro who had shared De Vaca's
experiences, and by some friendly
Pima Indians, the brave friar Jour
neyed through Arizona to the Zuni
country. Stories of the treasure he
might expect to find increased in
promise as he progressed. But sudden
ly, when he thought himself within
easy reach Of the promised land, word
came from ahead that his advance
gunrd had been murdered by hostile
Indians. Lacking support, moral or
material, the friar became discouraged
and returned empty handed to Mex
leo City.

vestigate the case of the young man
who leaves his father and mother to

will almost invariably find that cOndi-

Very often it is the drudgery which
he was forced to endure because of
antiquated methods in the farm build

A home like this should be the rule,
not the exception, on the farms Of the

In farm life has been neglected, too
often it has been merely a shack or
shelter with little convenience and
comfort. If more farm homes were
built on a modern basis there would
be little need for propaganda, articles
and speeches to exhort the boy to
stay at home. A comfortable home
would be the most powerful attrac-
ton that could be offered.
That is why a coy bungalow home
of the type shown here with floor
plans would be just the thing for
many farms. 1t has all the convent
ences of the city dwelling, all the COM
forts that make an ideal home and
all the features that are needed in a
farmhouse. Moreover, 1t deviates

One Man In Island of Girls.

An ideal select seminary for young
ladies'" at least as far as freedom from
masculine Interference is concerned,
was until recently situated on the is
land of Papaelise, in the Ellice group,
just north of the Fiji islands, accord
ing to the Continental Edition of the
London Mail. Only one man, a care
taker, lived on the island. But the
teacher was the only white person
In the vicinity, and the young ladies'"
were Of chocolate hue.
A school much of the same type as
an English boarding school was con-
Quoted, according to Miss Jolliffe, who
founded the institution. The curricu-
lum, however, was adjusted to the
tides, as the students lived on fish they
caught themselves, and on coconuts.

money in cotton before the selling sea
son opens, when the goods come from

AS the drop in cotton prices began
almost at the beginning of this sea-

on the contrary, continued their buy

1t is common talk here that in bust
ness morality Egypt does not compare
very favOrably with any other big

country point to the large number of
races engaged in commerce. Syrians

Palestine; Arabs, Greeks, British,

Abraham's Oak Tree.

When Abraham was promised pos
session of the Land of Canaan, 1t is
recorded, he was commanded to walk
through the land, whereupOn he re-
moved his tent and came and dwelt
in the Plain of Mamre, which is in
Hebron, and built there an altar to
the Lord.

Although separated from Mexico by
the Rio Grande only, Texas was not
colonized by the Spanish until the end
of the Seventeenth century, says
John Chapman Hilder in the Ladies
Home Journal. Prior to this time there
were two important voyages OF dis
covery in the North, but such were the
difficulties and so great the distances
that they ended in failure. The first
notable expedition into the vast I'M
known country that we know today as
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas was
the amazing journey Of Fray Marcos
de MIA, between 1889 and 1541. He
was sent by Antonio de Mendoza, then
governor Of New Spain, to seek seven
fabulous cities, tales Of whose wealth
had reached Mexico City via the In

Meteor Shower to Mark

astral influences, to "trip up Its

On June 81 the comet will flip
its tail so hard against its ter
reStrial rival that the impact
will send out sparks. These will
go down into the records as a

AT the greatest brilliancy OBJ
servable from the earth the
comet will be of the eighth or
ninth magnitude. Nothing great
er than the sixth magnitude can
be observed by the naked eye,

Six years passed. Life at East Lynne
was not all that one might wish for.
To be sure Lady Isabel had a most de-
voted husband and three lovely chill
dren. But her happiness was marred
by two thorns, of which her husband
was quite unaware. Cornelia Carlyle,
the domineering and narrow-minded
half-sister of Archibald, had steeled
her heart against Isabel from the be-
ginning, and made life at East Lynne
quite miserable for the poor little mex
perienced bride. The second disturb
ance was the suspicion that her hus-
band loved and was now renewing his
love for Barbara Hare, the daughter of
the neighborhOod justice. Incited by
the idle gossip of servants, this suspi-
cion grew into jealousy.
1t was true that Archibald seemed
to have many meetings with the pretty
Barbara-but how wss poor Lady Isa-
bel to know. that in reality these meet
ings concerned only private business
Of a professional nature? Barbara
Hare had brother, Richard. who years
before had been accused Of murder.
Her mother was an Invalid, and her
stubborn, unforgiving father would
hear naught of the son who had dis
graced him. Barbara's secret meet
ings with her exiled brother had con-
WINGED her Of his innocence. Her one
recourse, when implored by Richard to
seek help in finding the real criminal,
was to conf1de In their old family
friend, Archibald Carlyle.

ried sick over her imagined troubles,
Lady Isabel was finally persuaded by
her physician to go to the French
coast for a change of air and scenery,

GRAFTON, therefore, the total of new
ships on which work is proceeding In
British shipyards is 2,951, 1913 tons, or
about 20 per cent less than the total
at the beginning of the year.
Additional indications Of the condl-
lions in the British shipbuilding are
furnished by the returns of launch
ings and new work begun during the
first quarter of this year. New keels
represented only 391, 900 gross tons, in
comparison with $4,000 for the last
quarter of 1920, and 100000 for the
quarter ended April 1, 1920. Launch
ings during the quarter just ended
represented 431,OOO tons, as against
$4,000 tons for the last three months
of 1920 Even with the delays due to
strikes and other causes, therefore,
work is being completed more rapidly
than new work is coming on"
Decline in America.
Returns from American shipyards
show that the decline which has been
In effect more than q year continues,
Lloyd's says. The total construction
reported under way on April l is
100000 tons, only slightly more than
40 per cent of the American total a
year ago. The aggregate for all other
countries except the United States,
Great Britain and Germany (for the
last-named no official returns are avail
able) shows a gain of about $4,000 tons
over the January total, Lloyd's esti-
mates.
1.-THE apparent world decrease in
shipbuilding activity during the last
quarter, therefore, has been not far
from a million tons, a decline of about
12h per cent" the statement says.
"In some directions, however, gains
are shown in the volume Of construc-
ton under way. These are most
marked In the case Of France, which
now stands next to the United King
dom and the United States as a ship
building nation, having displaced Hob
land during the last quarter. A year
ago France, with only 100000 tons I'M
der way, was led by Japan, Italy and
Holland, and was constructing only
5000 tons more than the British do
minions. Today, with $4,000 tons
building, she has nearly two and a half
times the total for the British dOmin-
ions, and leads Japan and Italy by
$4,000 tons and $4,000 tons, respect

Japan shows a small gain in the
total under construction, as compared
with the previous quarter, and Italy

no high-priced American cars are in
evidence. 1t is explained that the
cheaper to middle-priced American car
Is a more attractive purchase to the
Egyptian and Levantine than similar
" priced cars made in England or on
the continent. Prompt deliveries, of
course, were largely responsible for
the American conquest Of this field.
When vessels from New York or Bos-
