Far from the shining. lights of r

Treads the modern Minnehaha.
Low and lean upon the waters
Floats gay canoe before her
Giddy cushions beckon to her
On the wind the jazz notes call her
From bleating phonograph.
Slim and timber as the sapling,
Poised upon her .heelless sandals.
Stands the Flapper Minnehaha.
Fringed and brief her home-spun

And her sweaters giddy border
Reproduces Indian motifs.
From her head tipped. gay, alert,

OF small animals or shells.
Seated with her Hiawatha
In the depths of cretonned comfort.
Strumming on her ukelele.

Trail her giggles to pavilions
In the land of the Cake eaters.

Where the jazz tunes never stop

THE NAVY

Today eight times as manv hooks

than was the case six years ago. A
monthly circulation of $50 on a bat
tleship in 1916 was considered large
whereas at present on the same bat
tleship the circulati ton has increa ased
to about 1900.
Considerable credit for this in
creased circulation is due to the splen-
did efforts Of the American Library
Association, which in 1919 very gen.
erously transferred to the NAVY
eighteen trained librarians. Naval
libraries, placed by law under the
bureau of navigation, are assigned to
the morale division and are support
ed from appropriations, which last
year amounted to a total of $4,000.
At the larger stations libraries of
from 10000 to 10000 volumes are
maintained, which are open after
Moons and evenings. Enlisted men
are detailed to assist in library work.
The libraries are under the SUPER
vision usually Of the assistant morale

That is the question men are asking, with an importantly no previous
age has known. -
The most important event in recent Thought is the passing of
Materialism rs a philosophy based on scientific induction. The age-long
problem of Matter has been attacked, and in a measure solved. Modern
Physics has taken a position which is entirely consistent with jesus
theory of a spiritual Universe.
Matmialism was done to death, not by the clustered student, spin

American Teachers Can Realize American
Ideal With Public Support
By DIR. J. E. RUSSELL, Teachers College, Columbia University

we can realize it if the public will give us the necessary support. No
blind obedience but voluntary cooperation shall be our watchword. We
shall seek contentment through intelligent exercise of our individual
talents, and find happiness in the possession of our own attainments.
Never before has a nation been founded on the proposition that all men
are created equal, and nowhere in history has intelligent sef-direetion
been set up Is a national ideal of education.
The need for an intelligent electorate goes far beyond the choice Of
political leaders. Confidence in the integrity and unselfshness of leaders
is the first essential in the democratic program OF social reform.
The maintenance of civil order and social security logically precedes
the rise of leaders. Population is shifting from the country to the city
Elbow room is growing less. Every year makes it harder for some to
maintain a decent standard Of living. The old world, with its woes,
stands begging at our door. Discomfort is spreading like a fatal disease
among great groups of our citizens This tendency, unless checked, can
have only one result-our experiment in democratic government will
surely fail, and with it the hopes of a world worn out with travail Of
newborn ideas of freedom.

WHY BATTERY BECOMES WEAK
Drop in Voltage Occurs When Plates
Have Absorbed Solution, Re-
tsrding Acid.

The drop In voltage or the dis
charged condition OF a storage battery
occurs when plates within the battery
have absorbed the acid In the battery
solution. When a battery is discharg-
ing this acid goes into the plates and
forms a compound Of acid and lead,
called lead sulphate. 1t Is when this
sulphate fills up the pores Of the

his investment It is necessary that he
be grounded In the essentials of motor

Ten Big Points.
There are ten important points that
the purchaser should consider care

are ID economy, (2) power and fiexi-

Power Is the mex important essen

this respect. You desire to be able to
go anywhere and at any time, and for
this reason you want power In your

An asset which we all seek In buy

the investment this Is very important.
This feature Of a car depends upon the
