Chose Profession Early


His principal difficulties in ;icquir-
ing ar education came from the nee
essity of strict economy. During the
five years in collage his expenses
were only s1,100. The books which
he has found most helpful in fitting
him for and aiding him IN the work
of life he named as the Bib!s, works
of history, psychology, biography and
law. His first strong impulses to
strive for the prizes he has Won came
from his admission to .'ol?ege at the
age of Is, and a day spent - Z court

was left free to choose his profession
and his purpose to study law was
formed during his second year N col

strength Of various influences winch

he named those Of home nrst. He
stated that his mother eXeraed a
strong and inspiring influence upon
his life, and that his pareats hal al
most constantly at their country

of college, especially for its bringing
him into contact with DR.. Carlisle,

COPPER IN THE AIR.

1t is reported that Professor
Hartley of Dublin has photo
lgraphed, in ordinary air, spectre
SCOPE lines due, among other
things, to copper and calcium. It
is believed that they arise from fine
dust consisting Of these substances,
projected into the atmosphere by
road vehicles, and by smoke and
the sparks of trolley wires. 1t is
from the latter that the copper is
supposed to come. The quantity of
copper thus found is exceedingly
slight. Indeed it is only the delicacy
of the tests that renders it appreci-
able. Lines due to lead, carbon,
iron, manganese, nickel and magne-
stun have also been detected, but
the quantity of these substances is
even less than that Of the calcium
and copper, the lines Of which are
always prominent In the spectra.-

HAS GOOD SPORT WITH BASS
Novelist, on His Summer Vacation,
Finds Recreation in Seeking to

Fishing for black bass with a
one-turn reel is one of the most

Harold MacGrath, the novelist, and

with a one-turn reel. You've just
gotta play 'em.
Il have little trick of making
a bass break after the initial leap.
Nine times out Of ten / can lift
them. That's the whole story with
me; to make the bass break three
or four times. Then, if I lose him,
| don't care a hang. I've had some
sport,
ssBass are moody. Today they
are here, tomorrow they are ten
miles away. If you make a catch

almost folly to return there on the
morrow And many school I've
stepped overland lost. / lose the
first bass. The moment he is free,
he starts for Buffalo, 800 miles
away. Anyhow, off the free bass
shoots. What happens is that the
school thinks he has spotted some
bait, and hckity-cut they pile after
him. I have seen this often in the
clear water"

America is still the chief producer OF
petroleum, but the day is coming when
American fields will not be the largest

in the refining industry Of the world, ="

Unless America IS willing now to pay
the price of preparedness she will lose
her position Of petroleum supremacy and
other countries will force her to pay
through the nose" Mr.. Sinclair said that
in the last six years American oil COM
panies have drilled an average of ahut
5000 new wells each year in this coun-
try, of which about 1000 were "gassers''
or dry holes.
