gin Immediately, and he expectcs to
deliver the building ready for oc-
cupancy by September, in time for
the opening of school.
An election was held last summer
and the bonds authorized, but for
some reason they were not sold and
the building begun as early gas cX-
pected.
The amount to be expended will
be $4,000. Portions of the pres
ent building will be used with four
rooms added. There will be no
change in the interior except the
stairway to the auditorium. Brick
vcneering will be used on the outside
of the old building A few of the
windows will be done away with in
order to come up to the lighting sys-
TEN prescribed for schools, all light
being let in from the back rooms.
The present heating system, large
stoves in the center Of the rooms,
will be discontinued and replaced
with steam radiators, sanitary drink
ing fountains will be installed The
interior of the building will be well
painted. The seats will be thorough
ly cvcrhauled Large columns and
concrete steps will be placed on the
front of the building which will make
it very attractive.

Mrs. Muskrat went on singing

Mr. Sprinkle-Blow, the Weatherman,
and how kind he was n everything.
How he locked up Jack Frost, and
Mr.. Storm and Old Man Flood, and
Sicily Dry Weather, and Thunder and
Lightning, and all the other Nuisance

to make it pleasant for everybody,
She didn't sing about Nancy and
Nick because she didn't know that
they had gone to help the Weather
Fairy. But she was going to know
it soon
Every verse she sang got little
bit louder than the one before, be-

The perfection Of the system claimed by Dr.,
White was attained through observation of pig
cons Newton discovered gravitation through
watching an apple fall. Most great discoveries
have been similarly made. It is said that Marcont
got his wireless idea from watching the ripples
OF water spread away from the spot in pond
into which he had cast stone.
''In making careful observations Of birds"
said DR.. Joslin, lit was noticed that occasionally
there would be pigeon that could not find her
way home. Careful analysis was made of the
bird, and in each case it was found that the bird
diseased, usually with avian tuberculosis
Then this principle was applied to determine why
humans and animals that suffered from disease,
could not find their way back to health. The
answer was the same In both cases. 1t was be-
Of their inability to respond to the magnet
ism that flows along the earths magnetic meridi-
ans. And this inability to respond to the mag
netic attraction of the meridians is because some
disease in the system prevents the response to
this magnetic flow
"The carrier pigeon couldn't find her way
home because she had lost the power of orienta-
tion--a peculiar gift. 1t enables migratory birds
to steer a north or south course almost as though
they had a compass in their brains To a lesser
degree, it affords a sense of direction to dogs,
cats, many wild animals and savages, and some
blind people.
How they do this has, for many centuries,
been disputed question. But science is now
accepting the explanation advanced by DR.. White
than 35 years ago. He insisted that the
magnetically charged bodies respond. like tina
needle Of compass, to the influence Of the mag
netic poles Of the earth. The food Of magnetism
running from south to north, over and through
the EARTH affects the magneticaly charged or
ganisms, and tells them the direction as plainly

rection Of the river flow, also our way home. II

Because it is so simple the method by which

COMMUNITY HAS NEW IDEA
Blanket Insurance Practically Cover.
ing Whole Town Is Said to Have
Had Excellent Results.

All the workers employed by the
various industries located at Kings
port. Tenn, have been insured against
death, sickness and accident under a
single group policy the New York
Times records.
In all about two thousand persons
employed by ten large concerns are
thus protected and as the population
Of the town of Kingsport is estimated
at about 10000, almost every family
in the community will receive f.
nancial benefit in case of accident,
sickness or death overtakingf one of
Its bread winning members.
The policy has been in effect for
some months. According to officials
of the insurance company this is the
first instance known where whole
community has adopted standard
lied plan Of insurance. The expert
ment is attracting the attention Of
many other municipalities, especially
public officials who are interested in
community service.
A prominent community worker has
said that the prospective financial
benefit to be derived by individuals
under the policy was Of far less i'm
portance than the general good which
has resulted from the quickening of
the conscience of the whole Kingsport
community.

They must not make the pathetic mis-
take of dressing too youthfully or the

that are ordinary or too elderly. The
choice in styles depends upon the sill

that which has been found most be-
