~ WARMING

Hang up his clothes in closets
And dust his easy chair;
The ashes he deposits
In corners, here and there,
You may with safety CLEAN them
Wherever they are thrown;
His books-yes, you may clean them,
But leave his desk alone!
Pick up his pipes and range them
In order on the shelf,
His pictures-you may change them
About to suit yourself;
Redecorate, refurnish
His room to give it tone"
Dust. scrub and sweep and burnish,
But leave his desk alonei
He'll bear your zeal for order
With patience calm and sweet,
But do not the border
That marks his last retreat;
Touch not that heap and tumble
OF junk he calls his own,
Accept my counsel humble
And leave his desk alone!

The Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
ton has appealed to friends and
followers Of Colonel Roosevelt to
remember T. r. on his birthday"
which comes Thursday, Oct. 81,

contributions are asked, not in the
form of money. but of some object
of record which in Itself recalls the
colonel.
What We particularly want are
manuscripts in Mr.. Roosevelt's w
handwriting or bearing his correc-
tons; original letters by or about
MI. Roosevelt: books, pamphlets.
rings, or cartoons relating to Mr..
Roosevelt: the originals of these
cartoons, wherever possible: books
and pamphlets by Mr.. Roosevelt, es-

literature relating to his political
campaigns, also posters, buttons,
campaign handkerchiefs, etc.; pho
tographs of the colonel, especially
snapshots and negatives; painting.
drawings, etchings and ocmmemora-
tive medals; and especially personal
mementoes the kind of thing one
person always likes to remember
another by.
This material is being brought to-
gether in one great collection which
will remain for all time as a living
and breathing testimonial to Theo-
dore Roosevelt. 1t will show Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the man, as no other
kind of memorial could ever hope to
show him, and will be of the great
est value to future students of his
tory.

PEAcEmAKERS

The philosophy of the peace of
Versailles is to weaken the central
powers, and to separate them from
Russia by a. line or group of small
buffer states.
These are Hungary, Rumania,
Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania.
Latvia, Esthonia, and the rest, whose
names and geographical situation we
so vaguely know and whose political
status is such a puzzle to us.
More and more it becomes clear
how much of vindictiveness and
jealous fear went into the making of
hal punitive peace. There was lost
an opportunity to establish peace
upon a equitable and durable basis.
In 1914 the plenipotentiaries of
Great Britain in conference with
those of the United States proposed
to end the war of 1912 on some such
basis. They proposed that a wide
neutral strip be surveyed across the
American continent and populated
with Indian tribes.
The theory was that If either
Great Britain or the United States
should move to attack the other,

BAKU'S TRAGIC TORCHES.
Bulletins BY
The National Geographic Society

The skies above Baku are once
more Illuminated by the eternal
fires of the worlds most famous oil
region. Near the spot where the
Zoroastrian or Parsi priests guarded
the sacred flames which burned for
more than a score of centuries,
eighteen modern wells are now
ablaze, according to press dispatch
es. What this great natural waste
means is brought out in the follow
ing bulletin from the Washington,
~. e, headquarters of the National
Geographic Society.
IF American relief work is inau-
gurated in South Russia and if ar
rangements can be made with the
new governments of the Caucasus,
the race between charity and starva-
ton may be run largely with Baku
oil" says the bulletin. Already the
white nights of North Russia are
beginning to wane and the ice which
coats the Neva early in the fall will
soon be creeping down the queen of
Russian rivers and stopping trans
portation on the one life line of
commerce upon which large scale
relief work on the Lower Volga can
depend.
Food May Depend on Fuel.
The iron rails OF Russia have
d-isintegrated with neglect and traf-
fic. The great Russia waterway will
be open for at least two months
more. And the fuel long used in
the Volga steamers and tugs is pc
trOleum and it's by-products. prin-
cipally masut, a thick residue from
the r~efineries. Fuel and food are
intimately connected in any plan
of Russian relief on the Lower Volga
and the wastage of petroleum In
Baku is a matter of deep concern.
Before the time of the Saracens,
Baku was noted for it's natural gas
and sacred fires. At Surakhanir

its museum will always be ready to

How Bright Is Daylight?
Weatherman Will Tell

The United States weather bureau
has undertaken the task of deter
| mining what normal daylight bright
ness is.
Investigations have been made in
| Washington and Chicago, which
have produced more information
| about daylight than has ever been
known. These Investigations are
| expected to be of great Importance
to farmers and to artificial lighting
companies.
The weather bureau experiments
so far have already brought out the
fact, for instance, that a building as
high as the width of an ordinary
city street shuts off SIS per cent of
the daylight available to the Offices
in that building. White tile buildings
it has been found, improve the nat
ural illumination in a dark building
due to the light reflection.
The instrument with which these
light experiments are made consists
of a special ~photometer mounted in
a box-like house without a cover
painted black inside and white OUT
side, so as 20 keep all light rays
from penetrating the machine ex-
cept those from above. The photo
meter measures the brightness of
NOdyllgHI anu II NAtA a
standardized electric lamp.
As a result of these light studies
weather bureau officials believe
they will ultimately be able to pre-
dict the actual duration and severity
of storms. so that lighting plans can
store up emergency power and be
ready for the heavy demand on
their services when the storms
break.
For farmers and truck gardeners.
these studies will result in the es-
Enlistment of light regions and the
coming of the United States into
districts especially adapted to the
production of certain corps. For ex-
ample. sugar beets nee intense
sunlight during their growth. while
tobacco requires shade. By the
coming system. proper localities
will be found for the growth of such
plants as these.

MUSICAL CONTEST IN

A very interesting musical evening
occurred last Thursday night in Rich
mond at the Normal School, when the
ten Federated Musical Clubs of that
city met in final competition.
The contestants were divided into
three groups: Junior, intermediate,
and Senior. The Juniors ranged in
age from seven to twelve; the Inter-
mediates from twelve to fifteen; and
the Seniors from fifteen to twenty.
II. f. Taylor, Prof. Rigby, and Mrs
Burdette, of Berea, acted as judges.
They were pleasantly entertained to
dinner at the home of Miss Helen
Bennett, a granddaughter of Casius
Clay Ga great friend Of Berea Col
lege), in her beautiful home on Main
street.
At 7:3O the contest began, and for
an hour and half competition ran
high. All deserve honorable men
ton, as the work as a whole was
marvelously we'll executed, but prizes
were finally awarded to Elizabeth
Gardner in the Junior group, Mel

Altogether it was very delight

upon the Federated Musical Clubs OF
