How Dieky's Mother Returned to

Dicky sorted" his collection Of
books papers and magazines assidu

the furniture and the rugs to keep
them from the dust which had accu-
mulated upon the collection"
He kept Jim busy travelling from the
attic to the denuded living room bear

accumulated there. When the last one

I didn't go into the living room at
all, for I was still smarting at his in

dusty things into the room without
even asking me whether il We're con-
venient for me to have them there, in

Katie bring some semblance or order

glimpses of Dicky at work which af-

he would sit upon the nearest pile. and.
relaxing himself in comfort, read the
thing he had found.

of the time when it was the only metal
known. Unlike other metals. which
generally require smelling, gold Is Of
ten found in a free state. One Of the
la rgest nuggets OF this sort, the wei

gold may have been made into orna-
ments before the discovery OF fire.
The earliest recorded civilizations
knew how to mine it.
Gold was the chief medium Of ex-
change in the ancient world. Kings ap-
parently esteemed it more than their
wealth in land. During the medieval
times little gold was mined; in the fif-
teenth century the worlds total supply
was valued at s225,0O0,000 only.
California Leads in Production.
The story Of gold in the United
States began with the rush to Califor-
mia in 40. California still leads all othz
err states in gold production. Nevada,
Colorado and South Dakota are close
rivals. The Klondike rush TO north
western Canada in 1897 was substan-
TALLY a repetition Of the California
rush But the Klondyke's gold produc-
ton has steadily fallen off, while that

has decreased until it is today one Of
the worlds most important gold-pro-
ducing districts.
Australia experienced a gold rush
shortly after California. Thirty years
later, important fields were discovered
in the vast arid interior. Engineers
have worked marvels there, piping
water hundreds of miles to the miners.
Rand Richest Field.
The richest producing region is
the Witwatersrand, or White Waters
Range. IN the Transvaal, South Africa.
The Rand, as it is commonly called, IS
tract forty miles long. From this
small area half the worlds supply OF
gold has come for many years. Gold

there. engineers say.
India is the greatest consumer OF
gold, according TO Hammond. It IS used
mostly for ornamental purposes. Pure
gold is too soft for most Uses IN the
arts. 1t is alleged with copper and sill

elry. No other metal is so malleable
or ductile. An ounce Of gold can be

And feel her leaning near;

To call the angel "Dear!"
Her hands are cold-you warm them;
II surely is humane
TO let no fellow creature
Endure a needless pain!
And tingle. Jingle. Jingle.
Your blood a-dancing flows.

A GREAT FRENCH FAINTER

Roger Fry writes in The Dial of Jean Marchand's paintings:
 The larger aspects of the form are held with uncompromising sureness and are expressed in handling of the utmost simplicity and directness. The matiere is dense. rich and transpa- rent, and the color. for all it's un- flattering dryness, has deep reson- ance. This is the painters art at it's best. There Is no confectionery. no fabrications of agreeable pigment: the quality comes directly out of the necessities of expression. If our pro- fessors are alive to their opportun- ities they will send ali their pupils to see and study this; since one can learn more easily from ones owr contemporaries than from any csd master. and no better example could be found of sheer downright good painting than this Some of the drawings-particu the figure drawings-are very good. Here, too. there is nothing brilliant or clever all Is purposeful and exact. The arr tists feeling for the essentials of di- srection and vc4ume enables him ,v realize his figures with something of the synthetic power that we see in primitive sculpture. and this without any hint of archa4sm. with no impo- sition of ready. made style.

ANALYSES POINCAIRE

New York--Myron T. Herrick, Ambassador of the United States to the Republic of France, home for a brief leave of absence from his post in Paris, gives his personal estimate Of the French Premier, Raymond Poincare, in Our World. Ambassador Herrick says
 On my arrival in France in 1912, Monsieur Poincare was minister for Foreign Affairs; when the war com menced he was President; these cir srmstances led to my constant and cordial association with him. Poincare is not a creative genius hut great lawyer. He relies upon care in examing facts and precision in analysis as the best guarantees against error. His patient and pro- digious industry, his clear and healthy mind are useful tools in pur- suing this system.
 If Briand resembles Blaine, Poin- care resembles Root. Like the latter he is reputed to be cold but to those who know him, his feelings and his passion for the right easily manifest themselves.
 Like all leading Freich statesmen he is provincial; he does not perhaps comprehend America or understand how much less our politics are per- sonal than are theirs. But Poincare now speaks English; what is most extraordinary he has learned it since the war. and this serves to widen his horizon.

 The thinking public know and express this estimate of him, while the instinct of the less articulate masses, the shrewd peasant class for example. leads them to similar feel ing which they would put thus: "If he cannot pull us out of the present mess, no one can.' Poincare is hated only by the communists and anarch- ists.
 In fact, Poincares thesis has the virtue of that simplicity easily com prehended by the humblest citizen, He holds that Germany wilfully de- stroyed Frances property, was beaten, agreed to repair and restore, and must be forced to execute her agreement. Her taxes are lower than Frances. her industries more flour ising, her dividends larger. Her res- toration to further prosperity is de- sirable, but 1t must not be effected at the expense of France
