Could shape my lines as shining-bars.

Standing alone at UNDERLINE!

Into my heart that's waiting still
Beat on my words increasingly,
And shape them to your stern white Wilt

Forest and Wild Flowers.

BotaniSts and others interested in preserv-
ing our wild flowers for several years have
been waging campaigns against the annual
spring onslaughts of hordes of careless bios
gatherers 1t has been said many times
that the wanton picking and tearing up of the
roots of wild flowers has been the cause Of
the extinction of some species and the dan
gerous depletion OF others.
All of the educational work along this line
is worth while. day should come when the
wild flowers, ferns and towering shrubs of
woodland and open meadow will be safe from
rant persons. Yet there is another menace to
our native blossoms which is equally serious
and to which little attention has been called
in the past. This is the disappearance of the
forests which have long sheltered these hum
bier dainty plants.
Many species of wild flowers grow only in
the rich humus of the forest floor, we'll in the
shadow of the woods. Their root structure has
been especially adapted to such soil. As the
forests are cut down or burned over. the humus
Is burned out, the quality of the soil naturally
changes and the wild flowers die out never to
return It is likely that many varieties of in
teresting, useful and beautiful plants have al
ready been lost to mankind through this evil
and others have become so rare that there is
danger Of their complete disappearance within
few years.
II there were not a dozen or more other
reasons for taking better care of a nations for
ests with scientific numbering methods suppIe-
mented by careful reforeStation and protec-
ton from fires, this one of preserving the
native wild flowers would justify the effort.

A Sensible Safeguard.

The plan of the Rock Island Auto club to
induce the city to establish mushroom signal
Hghts at the most dangerous street and avenue
Intersections in Rock Island, is most admir-
able. one. the desire being that the drivers OF
an automobiles come to a full stop before
<rnssinx or entering any of the thoroughfares
oa4vhieh these signals are placed
Such an arrangement is already in force
IN many OF the larger cities, and has had a
lot to do with checking auto collisions with
attendant disaster, and If the system Is adopted
in Rock Island with strict enforcement back
oft, it VIII be productive of highly desirable
results.
Taastroutss IN Roek. Island SO far has been
fnsR large measure utter defiance of the safety
ezzards already constituted. There has been
. more latitude here for speed mania, and more
deliberate disregard of all precautions for
safety than In either ofthe adjoining cities and
auto drivers residing both in Moline and Dav-
export. who have been held to check in their
respective cities, have come here and violated
the traffic regulations with impunity.
Davenport IN addition to a well organized
traffic squad in its business district has also
adopted a number OF these mushroom signals,
which are placed in the center OF street in
tersection, and are of such size to make
tflem conspicuous by day. and are illuminated
in either a green or red shade at night
Moline is moving TO put in a similar sys-
tenn. and it Is hoped that the municipal admin
istration will cooperate with the Rock Island
Auto club in insuring to Rock Island this means
OF safety.
1t will prove e~dcaI 1stter. however, unless
accompanied by the policy OF positive enforce
nent. as the way street regulations have been
observed up to the present time there VIII be

which they were designed.

The Most Famous Singer.

Who is the most famous of singers now that
Caruso has gone? Undoubtedly the great Rus
sian bass, Chaliapine, who is now in England
for brief concert tour and will soon come TO
America In New York he is no stranger. for
he made a tremendous impression in the brief
time when he was star at the Metropolitan
opera house Since ais return to Russia he
has become almost an historical character and
his fame, behind the dixie of the revolution,
has been accommodating portentiously and is
now ready to sweep the world in prOdigious
new
Everyone has heard how he became the idol
of the Russian masses and their consolation
in bad times; how after nearly starving to
death he made sure of having enough to eat
by insisting that the soViets pay part of his
fabulous salary in specified articles of food.
His romantic early career has also been made
known-how a great noble whose country place
was on the Volga heard a magnificent voice
among the boatmen singing the plaintive folk
songs of Little Russia and sent his servants
to find the singer, whose career was aided by
this altruistic patron of the arts.
Chaliapine quickly recognized as a
great singer of extraordinary artistic capacity.
1t is still disputed whether he is greater as a
singer or an actor. and in the opera Ivan.
the Terrible, he presented the part of the
vicious and brutal car so thriningly that in
London when he first appeared there, the house
went wild with excitement when he had not
opened his mouth or sung note.
On his present tour he is singing only in
recitals yet even in songs he shows this won
derful gift for dramatic Interpretation. In
Schumann's THE Two Grenadiers' he sings
the passage from the Marseillaise in a way
that sets his hearers wild. Moreover this ire
halo
soon be forgotten, and who has come through
the vortex of the bolshevik revolution, is de-
scribed as man of soft and amiable aspect
Evidently the height OF his celebrity is still TO
come His voice, his genius and his connec
ton with ephocal events all suggest that he
will become one of the most famous singers
of all time.

The unprecedented demand of American youth
for college education raises an Interesting
question as to how it to be met At Prince
ton 1900 students have been turned awav. a
number but little short of the total enrolment.
and other leading colleges face a similar
problem
No doubt this congestion is an Inevitable
penalty of the diffusion of prosperity Is it to
be dealt with by the mere expedient of re-
lection and restriction? Are the universities
to receive only the best minds from among the
applicants for admission, denying the advan-
tages OF a college education to those who seek
It for an ornament or for social experience?
According to President MacCracken of Vassar
every American teacher has Leen confronted
with the paradox of the old alumnus who re-
turns to the college saying that the benefits he
derived from college were not primarily from
books and study, but from the life and spirit
of the place.
Is there to be no welcome for students with
such ideals as these? Are the educational adj
vantages OF football and fraternity life TO be
made contingent on the possession OF book
knowledge? To accept students on the sole

ChuckIes Versus Dope.

CHHCAlCC o1c A0pNe
A few days ago l walked up
Mark Twain's hill-to Quarry
farm. where Mark wrote some of
his best books-and the delightful
" hospitable lady who presides
there told me some of Marks ways
She told how sometimes he used to
break out chuckling and laughing
at table and yet would not explain
to the othsrs present the reason
for his sudden mirth- Wait" he
would say II won't tell you now
Wait till 1 read it to you later
From the little six sided summer
house out on the very brow of the
hill overlooking the city in the val
ley below, a summer house fitted
with a stone fireplace which gave
forth warmth and cheer on bleak
DAYS. and no doabt furnished ready
lights for Marks pipe and a handy
place to tap out the ashes at the
end of every chapter-he wrote
everything longhand, remember
from this perch commanding 20
miles of scenery as beautiful as one
could wish to gaze upon. Mark
used to bring his copy at the end
of the day down to dinner at Quar-
~ farm house, and there, after
dinner, he would read what he had
written that day and let the fam
lily criticise.
III bet he felt embarrassed and
ashamed, though, when he thought
lessly broke out laughing that way
1 can just imagine how it may have
felt. l have experienced some such
embarrassment when all alone in
my room taking those efficiency
exercises which l modestly call the
Brady symphony. They make you
feel so good, when you get up full
steam, that you are quite likely to
begin laughing at yOurself-and If
anybody overhears you and knows
you are alone, you're sure a gone
goose!
Ordinarily he is poor doctor
who needs his own medicine, but l
make no bones about taking my
own medicine and | certainly en-
Joy keeping well.
Every night after undressing and
before saying my prayers l tuck in
just a little more oxygen, a kind
Of nightcap Of the real stimulant,
by means of these symphony move
ments which l call efficiency eX-
ercises because they do surely in
crease ones physical well being
and mental efficiency
AS for that prescription l have so
often eXtolled, two miles OF oxygen
on the hoof three times day, it is
still the sovereign medicine for
maintaining good health, in my
Judgment. but there are many days
when I find I can't work in the
minimum six miles that way, so
have to compromise by taking the
next best medicine. l find these
slim ulantS so much more effective
and so much more soothing than
tobacco. Especially when 1 can in

smoke arising like signals in the stu autumn
air.
Improvement Of the streets first marred this
youthful sport, as the cfty's executives would
not permit these roaring fires To be hndaed
ON the pavements. Then came nre prevention
campaigns and regulations permitting sucn
kindIing Of fires only In daylight hoars and
only under supervision Of some one sufficient
" responsible as to make for perfect safety
from spreading of the blaze because on the
menace to surrounding property from flying
sparks Followed, too, the soil conservation
lists with their plea fer the saving Of the leaves
50 as to form a pile Of compost for the next
summers crops.
So the good old practice has been placed
under the ban Instead Of ehe nightly reTeis
around the roaring bonfire the youugster OF
today sees the leaves raked into small piles TO
be later carried OFF. A most inglor1ous finish
for a brave autumn leaf

Angela put the pan of biscuits
down on the table and looked out of
| the pantry window. At the foot of
| the lane Amos was talking with the
rural delivery man. Angela's sigh
| became a sob. How much of her
present unhappiness would be gos-
( sip tomorrow? A tear splashed onto
| the bread board-another and yet
another. Angela put her head down
| on the table and cried.
Summer heat, the time when 70

heat, the period when desire sings

known each, and now it was zeroi

But the thought was fresh tor
ture to Angelia's bruised heart
Hadn't she hoped from the first that
there would be children at Meadow
brook? Hopes had become prayers
and Heaven had been deaf That
was the added bitterness TO her
present grief. If Amos left her for
that other woman there would be
nothing but the long, lonely years!
Angela knew. She had matured
early, faded soon, and she had none
of Lina's plump prettiness in her
own lean, lank shapelessness. Often
she had wondered what there had
been to attract Amos in the past.
! Last night he had wondered about
| it himself.
We was both young and what did
we know? Anyhow, we amt never

she stood beside an open grave
then that she looked upon her dead!
Her spiritual eyes saw the deep,
deep dark that shut down around
her And Lima Summers, who had
laughed at the love of two men, was
claiming Amos for her own.
What you going to do about il,
now that you know about us?''
Amos had demanded There amt
no use our trying to go on same as
if you'd never found it out. You'll
have to say"
But Angela had said nothing. Not
then, nor through the long night
which she had spent in the spare
room. In the morning she had
some to the homely tasks Of every
day-made the fire, served the
breakfast and now, still unable to
say what she meant to do or even
to thing about it. she was going to
keep to the cooking and sweeping
and mending as refuge against
thought.
And out in the lane Amos was
turning toward the walking

and anxious eyed in the doorway
She went to a dance at the Cor
ners last night and her husband
was there They say he tried to
make her go home with him, but
she jumped into an auto and tried
to run it herself I've got to go"
1t was dark when the sound of

again. All day she had seemed dead
