AMERICAS UNKNOWN HERO TO
SLEEP TONIGHT BIVOUACKED
WITH BRAVE OF MANY WARS
Grave of Nameless Yankee Soldier
Lies High Above Washington,
Overlooking Potomac.

wooded ridge beside the Potomac
Americas nameless hero will to

brave of many wars.
Everywhere about his simple
tomb, over the swelling slopes OF
In the shaded canyons of Arlington
/ National cemetery, stand monu'
ments and headstones on which are
craven names that also are written
fmperishably in the pages of glory
that make the nations history
There, too, are stones, amid the
long rows, to mark other unknown
dead of other wars, and the bulk
of the monument above the single
grave where rest the unknown of
the war between the states, gather
ed from many battlefields.
But for the newcomer from
France among this fellowship of
valor, a special place of honor has
been made. He will sleep in a
narrow crypt, hewn out of the live
stone that forms the terrace of the
memorial amphitheatre erected to
consecrate the memory of man ev-
erywhere who died for the flag.
Above his casket a massive block
of stone, carved with the brief Ie-
gend of a nations tribute to all
those others who sleep unknown in
France, will be placed. On it also
will go the long list of honors the
nation and the great powers of the
world have lavished ON the soldiers
who gave their identity as well as
their lives on French battlefields.
OreriOOks Washington.
Above the great stone towers the
marble pillared facade of the am
phitheatre, browning the ridge and
looking down over a sweeping vista
of quiet hills and peaceful country
side to the wide waters of the riV-
err Beyond stands Washington city
in the haze OF distance. Over it,
dimly visible, looms the great fig
ure of Freedom on the dome of the
capitol; farther down Washington

finger to challenge attention of the

looms the square white bulk of Lin

sealing a peoples tribute to mar
tyred leader.
Fold on fold. the calm hills drop
away from the terrace where the
sleeper from France lies honored
but unknown. At his feet a sculp-
tnred marble balustrade sweeps out
on either side, marking the wide.

No Relatives There.
But for the nameless one, asleep
on the terrace above, there are no
relatives. He lies alone in the
mystery of death. Laden with hon
ors beyond any of his fellows be-
low, there is none to tell of the way
of his life and his death, of whence
he came or of what he was, save
that he died in France. at the ma
tons call The American people
are his next of kin. He alone may
sleep there within the great monu-
ment to all the nations honOred

Everywhere about the ampi-
theatre are monuments cut with
names that touch memory to life,
that bring echoes of the thunder of
guns from old. far off battle scenes.
There lies Sheridan; there lies

Over the ridge beyond the ampi-

the dead clustering about them.

A Practical Way.

There is not a public library in the
country but needs more books-and
they are all, just like the churches,
always short of funds.
The small town library is not the
only one where this condition obtains.
Even the big libraries in the big cities
are afflicted in the same way.
How to get money is Che problem
which the library boards all over the
country are struggling with, and the
success they meet with is about the
same, no matter where they are locat-
ed.
From the Minneapolis Journal, we
quote the following on this subject,
which suggests one of the easiest and
most practical ways Of getting addi-
tional books for library:
"The Indianapolis Public Library,
like others not so far away, has in
sufficient funds to purchase books. Re-
Gently an appeal was made to the
friends of the library to give books.
The appeal, backed by campaign
made through the schools, met with
generous response. With no great
effort, the library now finds itself in
possession Of twenty thousand extra
books that have cost it nothing-and
pretty good books they are, too. Their
quality far exceeds expectations.
"And the campaign is far from end
ed. People realize the needs of the
library more today and are willing to
give good books they have read, so
that others may enjoy them.
zone good result of the campaign
was to bring the people in closer touch
with the library. Heretofore it has
been looked upon impersonally and
was supposed to be able to obtain any
thing it wanted But library, even
a public. library, is like a person. It's
needs and it's desires are circumscrib-
ed by the size of it's purse.
THE public library means much to
many persons. It is one of the bright
spots in the intellectual life of city.
If the opportunity were given, and the
compaign for-books judiciously carried
out, without doubt, people here would
respond as they have done in Indian
apolis. Our library would benefit
generously and those who patronize it
would be equally benefited after
all, it is public library and it is all
for the public"

The Innbadds Discuss
the Einstein Theory.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
"What is this Einstein theory?'
asked Mrs. Ignatius Innbadd as she
looked over the evening paper.
II didn't know he had a theory
returned Ignatius. II stopped in on
the way home this afternoon and he
said nuthin to me about it.
"Who?" countered Mrs. Innbadd
"Einstein, the delicatessen, dealer
replied Ignatius. anyhow, the only
theory that bird has is that business
is business"
Il refer to Mr.. Einstein, the great
scientist, now visiting our shores"
snapped Mrs. Innbadd. "You don't
seem to know the names of any pro-
minent men unless they play on one
of the big league baseball teams. If
Ty Cobb had new theory you'd know
all about it."
"Now that you mention it, recall
reading something about Prof. Ems
tein and his theory. That was the
night I went to bed so dizzy. / read
through five or six paragraphs trying
to find out just what his theory was
and why and what of it, but I suffer-
ed a spell of aphasia and when came
to l found myself trying to crawl in
the cuckoo clock and endeavoring to
get the cuckoo to come out and read
me the rest Of the article in the news
paper"
"It's very important theory" re-
marked Mrs. Innbadd. =
cts a very important one not to
worry about" insisted Ignatius.
"Prof. Einstein has spent his life
reaching this theory. At last he has
found it. Let him keep it; he saw it
first"
"The professor is willing we should
share it with him." said Mrs. Innbadd.
There's evidently enough to go
around. I think when a professor is
sport enough to come right out with
his theories and pass 'em around with
out Partially it is every persons duty
to take one"
"Well, what's it all about?" de-
manded Ignatius. "I'll bite. Go on
and give me the answer"
Il dunno" confessed the wife, 'but
if was man I'd know"
'sThe women have everything else
in common with the men these days."
returned Ignatius. 'Let 'em have the

theories Of gravitation, new laws of

wife, "that if one man throws another

appears to the man doing the throw
| ing that the other falls in a perpendi-
cular line, but to person standing
beside the tracks the body appears to
fall not only downward, but forward
with the train"
"Why not leave it to the guy who's
been thrown off the train ?" asked
Innbadd. "He ought to know more
about it than anyone else"
According to the Einstein theory,
he falls in a curved line," said Mrs.
Innbadd.
II suppose guy who has just been
fired off moving train would be high
ly relieved to know whether he landed
according to Einstein's theories or
not" remarked Ignatius, with a note
of sarcasm. "The important thing is
that he was thrown off, and the only

an ambulance. l suppose you'd leave

bodies hailed me as great scientist

toward the EARTH" read the wife.

"The professor also says that
whereas it has been supposed space

they would disappear with everything

and not much time right now" said
Innbadd
"Only twelve people in the world
are supposed to be fully capable of

says here" went on the wife.

ESCHBACH
MADE SPEAKER.
A precedent in the matter of appointive
employees serving in their old places as
members OF the Legislature was set by
Jesse E. Eschbach during the first spe-
ciaI session Of the Goodrich administra-
ton. Mr.. Eschbach, who was chief ex-
aminer of the State board Of accounts,
had been speaker Of the House Of Rep
resentstives during the previous regular
session. When the special session was
called he calmly stepped back into the
speakers chair and presided over the
lower house No one saw fit to oppose
this move and he served during the en-
tire session and then went back to the
board Of accounts.
At the second special session Mr..
Eschbach also served as Speaker OF the
House but this time he resigned from
the board Of accounts and was re-
appointed following the session.
