PILGRIM IN SPIRIT
Brave Men All Who Souc',t Lib
erty in America.
Justice In Writer'S Claim That Every
Family Tree Among Us Has Its
Roots In a Mayfcwer.

For three centuries and more q nat
ural selection has been going on In
Europe. sorting out the pioneers from
those who preferred to let well enough
(no matter how bad It happened to
he) alone. The Pilgrims came to these
shores to escape a religious tyranny,
and in their wake millions have fol-
lowed because they have preferred
to seek the new world rather than
put up with the abuses of the old.
Great hosts have turned their backs
on political oppressors because Of be-
lief In the freedom to be found here.
still other multitudes have fed from
grinding economic conditions In order
TO find a fair chance in a country
which stood to them rs the land of OPP
portunity.
The Mayflower was not Launched
by towards" and there have been
mighty few towards among our set
tiers. When a man and his wife sell
all that they have and lead their fam
lily up the gangplank Of an ocean liner,
they may not look very much like the
pictures In the Sunday supplements of
a 1920 couple, but the difference Is
more In dress than I'm heart. They are
brave pioneers, and Il is from them
and their like that we Americans
have sprung, writes Uncle Dudley"
In the Boston Globe. In the larger
ems every family tree among us has
Its roots In a Mayfower.
This Is why a ~foreign-born youngster
going to an American school can un-
derstand and appreciate the Pilgrim
story I'm his lesson book. II Is some
thing that he has picked up at home
from the old folks, who also were
pilgrims.
Western visitors wandering about
what they have been taught to call
Puritan New England are often mysti-
fed by what they find. They hear n
jargon OF tongues, catch glimpses of
papers published I'm foreign languages.
meet with faces from south Europe,
from Russia or from the Scandinavian
north. These people certainly are
Nh''oiiFt soy liG tOuIiHto llOiI
Kansas or Oregon. OF course they are
not Puritans. But they are not very
far from being Pilgrims, like all the
rest OF America. They have had the
initiative to leave conditions which
they did not like and cross an ocean
to cast their fortune In a land I'M
known. In essence that Is the Pilgrim
spirit.
The face Of a real American is a
Pilgrim face, no matter what his race
or religion. for 1t looks not toward
the past, but toward the future.
And II there are times when some
section Of America seems content to
halt, 1t is because the Pilgrim strain
has u a little thin. Nothing could
be more untrue to our ancestry than
standing still. Our blood is mixed, but
at the same time very pure. Every
drop of 1t came from a pioneer.

Value of Pea, underestimated

The great continental ice sheet, In
vading North America, left thousands
of lakes in its path, s~prinKled over the
northern states from Minnesota to
Maine. In Minnesota alone there are
10000 lakes and more, which are help
ing TO make the North a great sum-
mer playground.
But the interrupted drainage of the
glaciated region gave these states an
other priceless asset, Earl Christmas
writes in the Dearborn Independent.
Wien great fields of ice covered the
ground thousands Of years ago nature
was providing, by a curious paradox, a
way for future generations to keep
warm.
Peat, deposited In these lakes and
marshes in quantities sufficient to
make billions of tons of fuel, has been
the heneficent gift Of the ice sheet to
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, New
York and the New England states.
In the peat boys, scattered over nine
states and parts of a dozen others,
there lies one Of the great unde-
veloped Il Of the nation, now
Beginning to attract serious attention
with appreciable diminishing of the
available coal supply Of the country.
Only recently have we come to realize
the immensely of these deposits. now
apparently approaching development as
Il fuel.

indian Rites Dying Out.

The Hopi Indians, more than any
other tribe, have long-cherished forms,
says a correspondent. Still here In
the isolation of the cleaning desert
and mesa country one may witness
still the corn dance, the snake dance
and other picturesque ceremonials
which the influence Of the white man
has as yet little changed. Among all
Of the Pueblo people there has been
preserved much of the old Indian cul-
ture. This Is easily understood when
one considers the character of the
pueblos. Dwelling In ancestral VII
lagos century after century, avoiding
wal when possible. and In their re-
mote mesa homes resisting even the
~disintegrating influence Of the white
men, these interesting tribes have pre-
served some magnificent art. poetry
and religious sentiments which are
now In danger Of extinction, just as
the white student of Indian life Is
beginning to appreciate their value.

The japanese educational authori-
ties are paying much attention to util-
izing the movies" for the edification
OF the younger generation, says East
and West News. Some of the Amer
lean movie" stars are as much jap
anese favorites as they are American
favorites. Charlie Chaplin Is known
even to the child who does not know the
name Of the japanese premier. Every
movie" theater In Japan has Its own
orators who explain the pictures
especially the foreign ones-to the au-
dience while the show is going on. Re
Gently the authorities summoned all
motion-picture operators attached to
the picture halls In Tokyo and gave
instructions regarding the practice Of
the profession of film orators. AS a
result Of the meeting the authorities
decided to give a regular course of
lectures for the benefit of Aim orators,
The first Of the series of lectures will
be held early this year and will in
clude such subjects as history and

Developing the Philippines.

Development of Philippine natural
and the manufacturing and
industrial plants has hardly started.
Capital and workers are needed and
the markets for both are tight.
About one-third of the total area of
the islands Is covered with timber.
Practically all Of this Is owned by the
government, which grants concessions
for timber cutting and sawmills.
There are about fifty sawmills, most
Of them small. Red and white lauan,
the trees 200 feet high, are the princi-
pal wood of commercial value. The
red is used as a substitute for ma
hogany. Apitong and quito are the
next timbers In value.
Woods for varnishes, paper pulp,
perfumery, essential oils, dyes, tan.
ming and medicinal purposes grow
wild, but little has been done to make
them commercially valuable.

A Swiss inventor has devised a
g~ramophone which plays thread rec
ords instead of the modern hard rub
Der ones. In his machine a thousand
yards Of thread, enough to fill a small
spool, may be played, giving more mu-
sic than the largest hard rubber rec
ord made today.
The thread is ordinary thread treat
ed with a coat of a specially prepared
composition that Is very sensitive to
sound when 1t becomes hard. 1t Is not
affected by temperature, nor does II
require any special care. Thus 1t Is
both inexpensive and durable.
