his master.
The boys take their jayelins and
stand in row.. a gate is opened, and
horses, with loose brides and flow
ing names, gallop into the field. Each
boy must spring upon the back of one
of the galloping horses. Many the
falls and many the failures, but sue

Darius coursing swiftly over the field,
and one by one the others follow him.
A target is fastened to the old oak
there at the right. As they pass it
at full gallop, each one throws his
iavelin at the mark, and day by day
they practise until there are no fail
ures; sometimes with the javelin,
sometimes with the bow and arrows,
hut always at full speed and with UNI
erring aim. And do you notice that
some of the arrow-heads are of iron.
while others are of bronze? told
you it wouldn't be long before these
people would find out iron.

That was all. Shall we stay awhile
and see how well the lessons are
learned? Here is the youngest class
little boys only five years old l
think we should teach the little fel-
lows that it is wrong to throw stones;
but, see, they are standing in a row,
each with smooth pebble in his
sling, and one after another they
throw as far and as straight as they
can. Then, while they go Tor more
stones, the next class has lesson IN

After the little boys have come back
and practised with their sings, and
you have seen their running class, |
want you to wait for the class to which
Darius belongs.
He has learned the use of the sling
and the bow and the javelin; and ever
since he was seven years old he has
been on horseback every day. But
that is not enough; he doesn't know

"Listen to the teachings of Forecast

And the boys repeated after him.
"Be good, not base. The good is
holy, true; to be honored through
truth, through holy deeds. You can
not serve both"
Isn't that a good lesson for them?
A good lesson for you and me too.
After this the young children go to
their homes, but Darius and others OF
his age are also to hunt today. The

Did you notice that Darius didn't
have his breakfast before going to
school, and he hasn't had it yet? But
that doesn't trouble him. One meal
day is all he ever thinks of tax
ing, and if he is very much occupied
with hunting, or has long march to
make, it is often one meal in two days

Tonight the boys will sleep in the
field, to be ready for an early start
in the morning; and before the stars
are dimmed by the first light of dawn
you will find them at the ford Of the

Must Exempt Unions
From Calder Measure,
GOmpers' Warning

washington, Feb. 10-Unless trades
unions are "affirmatively and definite
ly' excluded from the Calder bill for
government regulation of the coal in
dustry organized labor's opposition to
it will be unyielding, Samuel Gompers
today told a Senate committee. The
Federation chiefs statement. together
with prolonged and at times heated
contest before the committee over an
allegation by Representative Huddles-
ton, Alabama, to the effect that coal
mine operators had INDUCED in
wholesale looting of the public" and
that the national coal association had
something to do with fixing the pri-
ces" took up the entire day.
President Gompers repeated his gen.
eral objection to the regulative legis-
lation, saying that the Sherman anti
trust law and the Lever Act for war
time food and fuel control had been
turned against labor. Provisions of
the Calder bill. insofar as they may
be applied to labor, he said, would be

Bishops Daughter
WEEDS Capt. Boy-ed,
Ex-Naval' Attache

Lancaster, Pa, Feb 10--Miss Vir-
ginia G. MacKay-Smith, daughter of
the late Bishop Alexander MacKay-
Smith of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese Of Pennsylvania. and Captain Carl
Boy-ed, former German naval attache
at Washington, were married today in
Berlin.
A cablegram to this effect was re-
close friends of the MacKay-Smith
family in this city.
The message said: Virginia WEEDS
Karl 10Th; very happy"
Miss MacKay- Smith, with her moth
err, left their home in Washington
last month for Germany, but nothing
was said Of the approaching wedding
at the time.
Miss Mackay- Smith and Captain
Boy-ed have been reported engaged a
number of times during the last few
years. but each time it was denied.
The first report was circulated short
ly before he and Captain Won Papen
were recalled from Washington by the
German government in December. 1915,
at the request Of President Wilson.
The two officers were charged with
having been connected with munitions
plots and the sending Of supplies to
German raiders from American ports
as well as plots with Mexico.
Captain Boy-ed was reported to have
returned to this country in disguise in
March, 1917, and to have visited Miss
MacKay-Smith at her home in Phila-
delphia. This. however. was emphat-
icaliy denied by the young woman and
her mother characterized the report as
ridiculous" Agents of the depart
ment OF justice maintained a constant
watch at the Mackay-Smith home but
nothing was discovered to substantiate
the report that he was there.
Miss MacKay-Smith first met Cap
tain Boy-ed In 1919.

Harding on Links
While Long Line
Awaits Audience

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 10-Callers
offering advice on many subjects
poured in on President-elect Harding
here today as soon as he opened his
office after a three weeks vacation
SO long was the waiting line OF
prominent men and women asking
for the President elects time that he
made little progress with his cores
pondence or with any of the other ac-
cumulated business with which his
desk is piled high.
On the other hand if the. confer
ences showed any definite develop
ment toward solution of the big prob
lens ahead there was nothing on the
surface to indicate it. Despite the
influx of visitors, however, Mr.. Hard
ing slipped away during the after
noon for golf. A workout on the
links is expected to be a part of his
daily routine during his stay here for
he will insist on coming to the presi-
dency in good physical trim.
Although there was nothing today
pointing to decisive development in
regard to the cabinet, the day did not
pass without it's offerings of advice on
the subject. Senator Phipps of Colo
RADIO, brought to Mr.. Harding's atten-
ton his friend c. c. Dorsey, Colora-
do lawyer, whose qualification he ur-
gently set forth for the post of secre-
tary of the interior. Mr.. Dorsey ac-
companied the senator but so far as
could be learned they brought away
mop romise of an appointment.
There were half a dozen other call
ers who placed pet proposals before
the President elect.
