Pretty Japanese Custom.

Since the earliest days and in every
land, the launching of a ship has been
the occasion for a ceremony of some
kind, usually resembling in a general
way the ceremony of christening a
child peculiar to the particular coun-
try. Of all the launching customs,
however, that of the Japanese is I'M
doubtedly the prettiest and most SYM
bolical.
When the Japanese ship is ready
for launching large cage filed with
birds is hung over the bow, and as the
ship glides into the water the birds
are released. The Japanese sailors
firmly believe that by no other means
may ship be insured good luck. The
birds, they say, will, in gratitude for
their liberty, guide the ship to safety
In times of peril.

China's Miracle.

The miracle of South China is asso-
ciated In my mind with a certain
landscape in northern China. Near
Chinglungchian, on the Picking Kalgan
section of the Chinese government rail-
ways, it was necessary for section Of
the great wall of China to be demol-
ished in order to let the locomotive
pass through. At g. point where one
hstinctively pauses to enjoy an i'm
pressive view Of the historic barrier
which winds up the precipitous sides
of the mountain like a huge dragon,
the eye drops back to the foreground
and to the familiar switch signal that
indicates a sidetrack. There it stands
in the very gap made in the great
wall, this prosaic emblem Of modern
progress. This switch signal and a
huge billboard on the crest of the
mountain to remind the visitor Of the
merits of certain brand Of cigarets
are my most vivid memories of
the great wall of China.-Edgar Allen
Forbes in Leslie's.

OBJECT IN MYTHICAL SUIT
Orientals "Faked" Case Before Eng.
llsh Magistrate to Settle Quar-.
rel Over a Woman.

Two Indians came before an English
magistrate, one complaining that the
other had allowed his cattle to stray
off the path through his cornfeld,
whereby the crop had been greatly
damaged.
The defendant replied that he GER
tainly had driven the cattle along the
said path, there being right Of way,
but that he had taken care not to al
low the crops to be damaged. Both
brought witnesses to support their
case.
The magistrate, with the intuition
which comes from experience with
Orientals. adjourned the case, and
rode out many miles to see the field
and the damage done. He found on
the one hand that no such field ex-
listed, and on the. other that the de-
PENDANT had no cattle!
Further inquiry disclosed the fact
that the two Indians had quarreled
over a woman. Not caring to bring
her name into court, they had decided
to put up a mythical case to the mag
istrate, the victor to have the woman

LEADERS NOT GREAT TAKERS
Jefferson's Testimony 10 That Neither
Washington Nor Franklin. Wasted
Words In Debate.

More than century ago Thomas
Jefferson said: II served with Gen.
Washington in the legislature of Vir-
ginia, before the revolution and dur
ing 1t, with DIR. Franklin in congress.
| never heard either of them speak
ten minutes at time, nor to any but
the main point, which was to decide
the question.
''They laid their shoulders to the
great points, knowing that the little
/ ones would follow Of themselves. If
the present congress errs in too much
talking, how can it be otherwise? In
body to which the people send $50
lawyers, whose trade is to question
everything, yield nothing, and talk by
the hourl That $50 lawyers should
do business together ought not to be
expected"
Multiply the above by four, add sew
eral hundred new subjects for debate,
divide into two parties and you have
the national legislature in the year Of
grace 1920, remarks the Home Sector.
Probably it could be calculated by an
efficient expert that the amount of en-
ergy, time, money and lung power
wasted in one session by congress
would be enough to drain every
swamp in this country, irrigate every
barren acre and rescue and educate
every child laborer, with enough left
over then to support and train every
wounded doughboy.
AS 1t is, small wonder that gentle
knocks at the door of congress are
drowned out by the oratorical uproar
inside.

take their places in the world as good
cttizens and producers-taxpayers, in
stead of tax consumers. How is this
done? What is the solution of such
transformation? BY the love of God
and the brotherly kindness of the Sal
walton Army, that has learned through
half century's experience how to
handle and to help men to help them
selves.
Frequently the men who apply for a
meal and bed are too weak and ex-
hausted by dissipation. illness, lack OF
proper food, etc, to. do any more than
sort or bail papers and when that is
through they are assigned just the
barest amount of work to earn the
first meal. This calls for the sorting
of twenty-five pounds of paper means
o meal and bed.
1t is always the policy to ascertain
the trade or vocation with which the
man is familiar and then to put him
at that type of work. In order to fur
nish such wide range of activities
as represented in the constant strain
Of down and cutters, that apply for help
here. The Salvation Army long since
solved the problem by putting the hui
man wastage to work on the vast as
sortment of wastage of clothing, fur
niture and general odds and ends

sions are proudly reported. Despite
the best efforts of the Army, it never
can accommodate all that appear for
help because of lack of room, beds
and funds with which to operate, and
while it spares no effort to fan to life
the most dormant spark of manhood
and ambition, it must of necessity be
fcanced in order to finance these men
through their feeble efforts to gain con-
troll of themselves and to be produc'
ers. The Salvation Army therefore
welcomes the opportunity to collect all
of the salvage of every description
that comes within its reach.
