A number of fans around here
still think that Smith can defeat
Blouin but you can't get away from
the fact that Blouin got more pins
than Smith, and over a stretch of
60 games at that. We, too, figured
that Smith would take Blouin, but
he didn't, so that's that. In our
humble opinion. Blouin is q real
champion.

Last Monday night at the Black

one game. This undoubtedly is the
highest score ever rolled by a wom-

favorably with some Of the high

complaining and making life miser-
able for oneself as well as everyone
with whom he comes in contact. Most
of the difficulties are of each indi-
vidua's own making and the remedy
rests almost entirely with the indi-
vidual who suffers or thinks he does.
Brit there are times in every ones life
when he needs and deserves the COM
forting sympathy and aid of friends.
And it is at such time that no one
should hesitate to come out in the
open and request the helpful cooper
alton required. But at such times
lack of frankness is a serious handi-
cap to the working out of plans which
will clear the pathways of disturbing
rocks.
No one is perfect. True friends
will forgive missteps and help one to
follow the happy path. But little help
can come when one lacks frankness
with himself and those whose aid he
seeks.

RADIUM FOUND IN THE CONGO
Belgian Society Erects Factory In
Antwerp District for Treatment
of Metal.

Further information in regard to
radium in the Congo is quoted by
Science from the bulletin of the Belgian
Chemical society to the effect that
the sample of minerals assayed by
Professor Schoep of the University
of Client yielded 424 ky. of uranium
and 139 mg. of radium to the ton. The
minerals came from the Upper Kat
anga, in the concession of the Union
Miniere, which has intrusted the in
dustrial treatment of the uranium to
the Belgian Societe Generate Metal
lurgique de Hoboken, which has put
up factory for the purpose in the
Antwerp district.
Other deposits of the same minerals
have been found at other points speci-
fed, and Professor Schoep has found
two new kinds OF minerals among
them, extremely radioactive. He has
named one "curite" and the other
"kasolite," and announces that the
crystals are soluble in nitric acid, and
the radium salt can then be extracted
from the fluid without passing through
the usual calcination process.

"Well, it was too much for that lit

land murders. the blowing up Of fac

trying to turn the United States into
German settlement, trying to get
Japan and Mexico to make war on us,
and all the rest. He even made her
admit there was proof they mean to
conquer us when they get through with
the others, and that they've set out to
rule the world for their own benefit,
and make whoever else they kindly
allow to live. work for them.
"She said it might be true, but since
nothing at all could be right cause
for war, then all this couldn't be a

regular pacif1st logic working; she
said that since war is the worst thing
there is, why, all other evils were
lesser, and lesser evil can't be just
cause for a greater. She got terribly

Bank of England Lowers Its Bullion

In one sense the Bank Of England

The bullion department, which holds

Anyone attempting to rob the bank,
then, must be an expert swimmer and

Until the middle Of the Seventeenth
century a familiar figure at a Virginia
church door on Sunday morning was
the county sheriff. The law requiring
attendance at divine worship was of
great assistance to him. 1t rounded
up the planters and small farmers
from remote corners and enabled him
with minimum Of effort to serve
writs, warrants, summonses, execu-
tons and similar official papers.
This practical method disturbed the
planters who did not fancy official in

1868, they passed law prohibiting
the service of official papers on Sun.

and the sheriff was sent off on his

BE FRANK.
BY DALTER l.
] ROBINSON

TT ALWAYS pays to be frank.
- But it is just as important that
one be frank with himself as with
others. Too many are unappreciative
of the privilege of having others help
bear their burdens. If they recog-
nized the happiness and benefit which
is certain to come through a frank
statement of the true conditions
which cause them worry, a great
many would gladly face the world
openly and find it always anxious to
help them through rough pathways.
Stevenson, doubtless, had this in
mind when he declared:
If we find but one to whom we can
speak our hearts freely, with whom we
can walk in love and simplicity, without
discrimination, we have no ground for
quarrels with the world or with God.
1t is doubtful if anyone-regard-
less of their position socially and
financially-is without one sincere
friend or more in whom he can place
absolute confidence. To such friends
there is certain to come a feeling of
sympathy for those they love in event
they are familiar with the problems
causing unhappiness and pain. If
everyone, when in trouble, would go
to such friends and frankly state their
position and the difficulties with
which they are faced, it is more than
probable that the response would be
immediate and sure. But, by eva
sion, indifference and deceit, no one
is likely to gain the sympathy and
aid of those who can do most to make
their burdens light.
1t is folly to go about constantly

Emmeline came into existence

ximena survived the longest of any
of her other names and came to be

the Cid was so called but the French
turned her into Chimene. The English
promptly called this strange name
Fumelfne. and even France now has
an Emeline. The form Emylyn, which
appears in old ballad poetry, is iden-
