SOME SURPRISES THAT MAY
NOT SURPRISE YOU

Mile was having some troubles with
her little old geography lessons and so
the busy editor picked up the book and
tried to help her Il bit.
This led to more extensive exam
nation of the maps and the said edi-
tor learned some things that rather
surprised him. For instance. he found
thar the Panama Canal was exactly
south of Buffalo. The western point
Of Alaska is farther west than the
Hawaiian Islands. Travelling from one
corner of Texas to the farthcSt corner
is as far as from the northeast corner
of Texas to Duluth. way up there on
Lake Superior. The greatest length
of California is the same distance as
from New York City to the Mississippi
river. The easternmOst point Of
Mexico is directly south of the state
of Indiana. and YOU can almost jump
from it over on to the island Of Cuba.
Some country of itself. that same
Mexico
We usually think of the Gulf Of Cali
fornia as an arm Of the Pacific ocean
and therefore ''fartheSt west" yet part
Of its mouth is about south of Denver
Mild British Columbia is as far north
rs Labrador. which eastern folks look
upon as the last word in zero weather.
South Alaska is in the same latitude as
south Greenland. You grow wheat,
vegetables and wear Palm Beach pants
in the first: the ice and snow never
mplts in the latter. Lake Winnipeg,
which YOU rarely hear about. is as big
as Lake Erie.
When man has left school 10 or %
~ 80 years and has spent his time do
ing anything else but teaching, it is
| amazing how much learning he has
lost. The foregoing geographic facts
about our own continent lies before us
wherever we look at map and vet the
ajority of us are greatly surprised
when we come across them. But the
fact is we were all taught them once
they have simply slipped from us.
Next time yOu meet d geography. get
acquainted with it and you'll pick VI
lot of surprises.

THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN STOP
WARS

The science of biology proves that
man is Il fighting animal. We are sor-

On the other hand. we are among those
who still hope mankind will some day
live at peace.
Now there is the president of the
International Machnists' Union. W.
II. Johnson. who has called on the
metal workers Of the world to refuse
to manufacture arms and ammunition
and thus put an end to all wars.

RENEDYING AN OLD WRONG

II seems that q new era OF practical
health teaching is just daWning. 1t is
a new idea to have the school consider
the child'S body as we'll as his mind.
As nation we have been too much en-
crossed in making Of the child Il recep-
tacle for courses of study. 1t is also
new for the parents to consider any
standard Of weight of health for the
child and to cooperate with teachers
and health nurses for the upbuilding
Of the chiId'S body.
But the war and the "children' $
year program" brought the parents
face to face with the facts regarding
the childrcn's physical condition and
taught them that there are standards
of health and that the growing child
is the thriving child. and now we know
that we have Il problem to have chill
drcn fit. physically as we'll as mentally.

States ii grave national error when it

 Gaston Leroux's story has been given the benefit of Emile Chautards skillful direction, and the exceptional

 ible in the cast of "The Mystery of

 To give detailed description of
 the plot would be betraying the pur. ] pose of MT. Chautard, for he has suc- ceeded in holding the spectators in- terest until the final scene, and the denouement comes in the nature of
 a surprise, as satisfying as it is un- expected.
 The story starts with an attempted
 murder and the escape of the crim- nal, and then forward concerns itself
 with the attempt to catch and bring 1 him to justice.
 In showing "The Mystery of the 1 Yellow Room," the Empress is giving it's patrons an opportunity to see a | big special production, released by Realart, and which is entirely out the

GREATER THAN WAR

Grafton of its readers. While Ger

Germany has to pay tine Allies an
annuity of $500 900 900. plus 26
per cent of the annual value of her

of Germany'S foreign trade this
percentage is estimated as amount
ing to $500 600. 900 making her total
annual payment on the PREPARATION

will increase as her exports in

Allied financierS that, if their cal

Congress appropriated for the
