anything on the "AIrs. Cook Of the

secretary in other words. She and
her assistants not only meet all Y.

Europe and other countries but

workers going abroad. 1t sounds
easy, but it means for every person,

of each European country to be

permits, seeing tat the necessary
clothing and equipment is taken
along, taking people to the boat and
bidding them "bon voyage" as the
steamer starts off six hours behind
schedule. During the war a large
group of secretaries would sail on
one boat and have to be passported,
vised, affidavited and generally cared
for. The number is much lower now,
but the number of those returning
to the United States has increased.
Fifty-two boats have been met in the

EFFICIENT RELIEF WORK

The old truth that no man
can live unto himself has been
forcefully demonstrated in our
midst during the last week. A
great destructive tornado swept
thru our county, leaving our
neighbors injured, shelterless
and without food or clothing.
Hardly had the dead been
buried and the injured given
medical treatment until the
people of Washington, Hope,
Blevins, Prescott and other
places began to organize for re-
lieving the cnndition of their
distressed neighbors. Without
an exception everyone gave lib
erally of money and time. In
Washington practically half OF
the windows were broken by
the hail and roofs were pound
ed full of holes, but no one has
stopped this week to make re-
pairs caused by this damage.
The highest praise is due to.
the men who gave one, two and
three days labor this week IN
helping to rebuild homes for
the homeless. These men were
not seeking publicity but SIM
ply took advantage of an oppor-
tunity to do an act of kindness
for those less fortunate. !tI
showed a fine, splendid spirit
of service and cooperation. one
of the marks of any civilization
is protection for the unfortun-
ate. AS long as the splendid
spirit such as we saw this week
is manifested we are not going
to believe that the world is get
ting worse.

ITS SPLEND0R OF THE PAST
Palace Of the Escurial In Spain Used
Now Chiefly as Place Of sepul-
ture for Monanchs.

One of the great buildings Of the
world is the Escurial Of Spain,
which stands in lonely place about
30 miles northwest of Madrid. 1t
is sA feet long and $50 feet wide,
and is divided by a series Of long
interior courts to give it the form
Of a gridiron. 1t was erected in
honor of ST. Lawrence, who was
roasted on a gridiron, and who con-
founded his executioners by his COOL
ness in the midst of the flames when
he suggested that they ought to
turn him, as he was getting over
done on his under side. The Es-
curial was designed more for the
admission Of people than for letting
in the light, for while it has 1900
windows, it has $4,000 doors. In
spite Of that, it is seldom thronged
BY multitude of people, and the
intervals Of window-washing are
longer.
It's most popular use is as a burial
place for the kings OF Spain and the
mothers of kings. The building con-
tains library of 10000 books and
4,sOO manuscripts, which are never
read. and occasional appropriations
Of public money are made 10 prevent
the building from falling into q
state Of lonely ruin.

Roads Speedily Resurfaced.

Closing London's busy roads for
several days while they were resur-
faced was inconvenient and interfered
seriously with traffic. A new method
permits the road to be completely re-
paired and opened to traffic again
three hours after the repair crew goes
to work. Tar Is vaporized In trav-
cling cart and pumped through the
sprayer at high pressure, which forces
1t deeply into the bed of the load.
While the tar is still hot, there are
men following behind the sprayer to
sprinkle fine gravel over the surface,
and as soon as the tar hardens, which
takes only three hours. as stated
above, the road can be thrown open
for trafflc.-Popular Science Monthly.
