 by all the statesmen and prelates in the country" exclaimed Mrs. Curfew. 'I don't want to be sunbeam, expe- rience having taught me that l can get along better and have less trouble and tribulation, when I look as much like a meatax as possible.
 Last evening before I went to bed I was reading book called Sunshine Susan It was about woman who just made up her mind to be happy no matter what happened. Then her husband was brought home with broken leg, and the two children had & number of measles simultaneously and the house burned down, and the bank in which she had deposited her savings closed it's doors, and in spite Of everything she went around singing and dancing.
 'Ts had thought 1t over I might have realized that It was too good to be true. No human woman could be gay and happy in the midst of so many calamities. But I was in sentimental mood. and when I turned out the light and went to bed I thought that ought to he ashamed of myself for not being like Sunshine Susan, and I made up my mind l would turn over a new leaf first thing In the morn- ing.
 "So I came downstairs smiling. and I was singing all the time I was get ting breakfast. and when Mir. Curfew came down he said it warmed up his whole being to see me in such a cheer fui frame of mind. Ii reminded him of him of the time when 1 was sweet seventeen, and as pretty as red wagon. Then he gradually drifted into a story to the effect that he had great opportunity to make the finest horse trade of his career. All he need ed was s7 in cash to close the trans action, and he would make at least S15 by 1t.
 "He knew had s7 put away in the clock to buy myself some clothes I need the worst way. had saved that money. a nickel and dime at time, and was looking forward to the time when I would have enough to go shop ping and buy myself an outfit good enough for the queen of Sheba.
 MT. Curfew had been trying 10 bor- row my savings for long time, offer ing to give me his note as security, and before I read that Sunshine Susan book I always refused him, and nearly snapped his head off doing 1t. But that morning I was anxious to make every body happy. so I handed him the money. and he went and made his horse trade and brought home an old crow bait that has been sick ever since, and he spends all his time out at the karn. feeding it pills and powders, and can't get him to do any of the chores around the place.
 "The same morning Mrs. Turpentine heard me singing in the back yard, and she thought it would be good time to borrow my patent electric washing machine, and came over for that purpose. She had asked for It dozen times before, but l always told her to go to. Being full of sunshine on that occasion, however l told her she could have it and welcome, and I've never been able to use it since. The man who sold it to me says It will cost S6 for repairs, so you see what Sunshine Susan did to me.
 "No, mister, don't want any recipe for being a sunbeam, and you can take your book along to Mrs. Fur williger, In the yellow house across the street. She's the champion middle weight pessimist of this neighbor- hood"

DESERT CONQUERED BY
 AID PLANES

WASHINGTON, Dec s. The Arabian Desert, which always was re- garded as an impregnable barrier to direct communication between the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf. has been conquered by airplane. according to advices to the Army Air Service
 Instead of attempting to cross the desert airplanes heretofore were ac- customed to fly scmi-CirCular course around it's northern extremity thereby travelling many more miles than the distance which actually separates the air stations on the eastern and west ern sides of this endless eXpanse of sand.
 The route will be 5So miles in length. It will pass through Amman in Trans. jordania and Kasrcl Azrak, where landing fields have now been estab- lishcd. and then will take an almost straight line across the desert to Ram adie, on the Euphrates, and then to Bagdad
 The survey for the new aerial path way was made by the British Royal Air Force, with the cooperation of the EmirAbdulla, who helped in the build ing of an advance base at Amman, forty-fiye miles east of Jerusalem

desert tenders fitted out with wireless at Amman to begin their advance into the desert The first 150 miles of the route was located with comparatively little difficulty, but l6O miles from the starting point the pioneers struck a vast tract of rough lava beds Enor- nous boulders were scattered across this tract The workers were nearly baffled in their efforts to get through the lava beds. when word came by wireless from airplanes scouting ahead that a way out of the wilder ness of stone had been found. The ground parties set to work anew and soon forced a passage through ten miles of baCk.breaking country into the desert again, where the going was comparatively easy.
 A few days later ground connec- tions were made with Bagdad when the armored cars arrived at the emergency ground at El.iid. 300 miles from Jerusalem.
 Operations were soon pushed on from the Bagdad side, and Ramudie was entered soon after by both air and land. Bagdad was entered shortly aftcrward
 Work is COW going on to perfect the emergency landing grounds, and in making permanent ground orgariza. tion along the air route

 CHILD PROGRAM
Move for Naturalization Is Being
 Made "Anti'S" Claim

New York, Juno 3.-Several doc umcnts taken from official Bolshevlst publications, describing the eondi- Iiona under which children aru lIN- ing in Russia under thu BolsheNlst regime are made public by A. J. Sack, director of the Russian infor- mation bureau in the United States, representing in this country the Rus sian democratic nti-Bolshevist forces.
 The Bolshevist program with re- gard to the children of Russia was formulated. according to MT. Sack, by the Commissary Lilina at the con ference on public education held in Moscow. The official magazine of the commissariat of public education. Narodonoyc Prosvieschenie (Popular Education). No. i. quotes Lilina as saying at this conference: .
 We have to create out of the young generation generation of communists. We must mako real. good communists of the children, fot they. like wax, arc easily moulded. We must remove the children from the pcrnicious influence of tho family. We must register the children. or let us speak plainly. nationalizc them. Thus they will from the very start re- main under the beneficial influence of communist l<indergartens and schools. Here they will absorb the alphabet of communism. Here they will grow nm to be real communists. To com pel the mother to surrender her child in ifs. to the soviet state, that is the nractical task before us.'' @.~.
 Thus soviet institutions for chill dren were established. The report Inf the soviet inspection for Febru- .rv describing one of these fnstitu- ,ions. the Roxdestvenskia nursery in Petrograd. says:
