A RIDDLE

I'm a little patch of red
Sometimes green or blue instead !;
| am one of many, many million
brothers.
Though we start our life in groups,
Rank on rank, like army troops.
In the end we're separated from
the others.
AS we journey far or near,
You may think it rather queer
That we travel altogether ION our
face"
Not hand or foot to aid
Yet we stick" all undismayed,
Tough our baggage bumps around
from place to place.
You may buy us if you choose
We are servants made to use,--
And for a tiny coin you'll receives:
A portrait known to fame,
Figures, letters, small frame,
And bit of sweet potato, believe.
We will run a mile or two,
Take, message swift for you;
You may send our bigger brothers
round the earth.
We are merry little tramps
Eyes, of course, we're postage
stamps)
From New York to Spain, from
Paraguay to Perth!

GIRLHOOD STORIES
OF FAMOUS WOMEN
Sarah Bernhardt

Because Sarah was ordered by
her father to be sent to a convent
IN France when she was seven
years old, she flew into a terrible
rage which she later recounts:
THE idea that | was to be order.
ed about without any regard to my
own wishes or inclinations put me
into an indescribable rage. | rolled
about on the ground uttering the
most heart-rending cries. / yell
ed out all kinds of reproaches,
blaming mama, my aunts, and Nine.
Freasard for not finding some way
to keep me with them. The strug-
gle lasted two hours, and while
was being dressed, | escaped twice
into the garden and attempted to
climb the trees and threw myself
into the pond. Finally. when | was
completely exhausted and subdued,
| was taken off sobbing in my
aunt's carriage"
This scene is typical of the thor
ough way in which Sarah Bern
hardt did all things.
Her strong emotions helped make
her the famous actress who has
played all over Europe and Amer
lea.

SILVER

Silver is found within the earth,
Says my geography.
! know dozen places more,
As plain as plain can be.
There's silver in the poplar leaves
That simmer in the breeze,
There's silver in a vessels wake
At night, on moonlit seas.
The sparkling drops on morning
lawns,
Which grown-ups know as dew,
Are silver, like the fountain spray
That shines the whole day
through.
There's silver in a forest pool,
A ripping brook, a star;
With silver, silver everywhere,
Why should one dig afar?

PhvE FOUR
ohackleton's Yacht,
Quest, Is Small

To tho group of famous little
ships will now have to be added
that OF Sir Ernest Shackleton--
Quest. In this ship, two weeks ago
the explorer set sail from Sout-
hampton, England, on two years
journey of exploration.
The Quest was built In Norway
where she sailed under the name
OF Foca as general trader. Her
history-the change from plain
wooden trading vessel to famous
little ship bound on a most ro-
mantle journey is as great as the
changes in the fortunes OF Cinder-
ella or Sindbad the Sailor.
She is a little wooden hulled YES
sci and when ready for sea, will be
rugged as a t0psail schooner; that
is-she will carry yard and
square topsail on the formast be-
sides her two large fore-andaft
sails. She also has triangular
forestry sail and jib. Steam en-
gines are on board, too, to give her
power in case of Gains or contrary
winds.
Sir Ernest has chosen a verse
from a poem by Rudyard Kipling
as motto for his journey and has
mad it engraved and placed be-
meath the bridge of the Quest,
The verse he has chosen follows:
II you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
II you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat these two imposters just
the same
Surely this an expressive motto
FOR vessel bound on such a jour
ney as Is the Quest

Ruins Found in Arizona.

Some very old and very interest
ing ruins have been discovered in
two canons something like 100
miles from Holbrook, Arizona, to
the north. One of these is named
Antelope Ruin because on one of
the walls of the main building Of
the group of old stone structures,
is drawn the picture of an antelope.
Here, too, are drawings of chiefs
and warriors, women, children and
animals, as well as many symbols.
1t is thought that the tribes OF peo-
pie who lived there centuries ago,
were superior to the Navajo and
Hopi Indians of the present day,
but no one really knows anything
about these early pioneers.

Remarkable Discovery.

1t has been discovered lately
that the great artist, Rembrandt,
before painting his pictures wrote
capital RS and full signatures
many times over his canvas. These
were covered over by the painting
and have only lately been brought
to light by the X-ray.
The discovery was made by Mr..
Francis III. Clarke, an English art
critic He gives as an explanation
that Rembrandt needed means
of detecting fraudulent works dis
honestly sold as his own, and be-
lieves that the artist would be
very much surprised today to know
that his secret has been discovered.

Pupils in the schools of Wash

trees. In 1919, many of the CAPT
tol's children took part in a cam
paign against bagworms. That
year they gathered 1900 of these

they saw results of their vigorous
work the year before, for in the
second year they gathered only $50

WORLD EVENTS

After delay of about a month
a new conference has been planned
for Oct. II and Mr. Lloyd George,
prime minister of England has sent
a letter to canon DeValera asking
him as the leader of a large part
of the Irish, to meet with him in
London to discuss their relations
and try to make definite plans for
peace.

Austria and Hungary cannot
agree as to what part of Burgen-
land each country shall have.
Groups OF people capable of dis
cussing the question will meet and
examine the rights of the quarrel
and will try to settle it without go

supply is very low and so is the
value of her money. The delay
over the Burgenland question is
only adding to her problems.

Basic Industries
Charge Top Prices

Washington, Feb. 12.-Profiteer-
ing steel, iron and coal industries
are singled out for especial crit
cism by John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of currency, in his an
nual report.
"By closing down mills and mines
the output of steel and iron, fol-
lowing the armistice, was reduced
approximately one-fourth for the
purpose of enabling manufacturers
and operators to obtain, because of
the insistent and peremptory de-
mand for coal and iron, the exorbi-
tant profits realized during the war
instead of the more moderate prof
its which they would have to accent
If the maximum output had been
maintained" said Mr.. Williams.
While the profits of steel manu-
facturers and coal operators were
swollen, the country became poorer
from lack of production, brought
about by the unnecessary closing
down of mills and mines and the
incidental idleness of labor. AS
steel and iron are so largely at the
very foundation of industrial activ-
ity and business development, it is
essential that the prices of these
fundamental products should come
down to a fair, just and normal ba-
sis if we are again to attain the
prosperity for which we hope"
The official repeats his charge,
made last summer, that a small
group of New York bankers set in
terest rates for call money, raising
and lowering them at their pleas
ure. In answer to the claim that
banks should charge a high rate
because of the risk involved, Mr..
Williams said
"If the security for these loans
was so precarious as to justify such
rates of interest, no bank had the
right to risk it on the money of
depositors. If the security was
good the rates were cruelty extor-
tionate eXactions from the necessi-
ties of borrowers, demoralizing in
business, destructive of values. hin
