Many who use the familiar Broad
way in New York are ignorant Of the
fact that this highway follows almost
exactly an Indian path, whose some
what picturesque name was Week
quaes%We&. Recent discoveries have
shown, however, that the upper sec
ton Of this famous street has been in
practically continuous use for centu-
ries. 1t is known that the Indians
had Il natural genius for path-flnding.
and in this instance it was unusually
exempIitied, because when modern
engineers started to turn the original
narrow pathway into roadway, and
later into paved street with tracks
and subways, the line Of the original
Indian trail was still preserved as
being the best available To such an
extent is this the case, in fact that,
were the modern pavements to be re.
moved, remains of the original patti,
could still be found.

GET IN 1'HE GEAR

What makes the cook smash dishes,
even when she is not angry. and what
causes a factory hand to unintention-
ally damage production, has been puz-
zled out by experts of the National
Institute of Industrial Psychology.
Pieces of mental grit get into human
machinery and play hob. A large
amount of breukage is due to mental
Irritation which is largely a result Of
fatigue, says Science Service The
worker who is not tired has sufficient
energy to use in checking his irrita-
bility; the worker who has been per
forming mechanical motions all day
shows his boredom by crashing some
thing to the floor. Breakages become
epidemic at times, the British experts
have found. Where groups of work
ers are engaged in handling the same
material, excitement, tluster, hurry,
or irritation IN one section quickly
spreads to unutner. Where there is
regular flow OF material with rush
periods it is found that both the eX-
citenrnt Of the rush and the reaction
o: the slack time damage efficiency
and Incidentally damage the things
th;a are being handled. BY introduce
ing a steady flow Of material there is
a noticeable rise in efficiency.

The United States forest service
says that 9.s per cent of forest fires
are caused by lightning, 149 per cent
by sparks from locomotives, 1877 per
cent by campers, and 1875 per cent
are incendiary. OF these four chief
causes, only one is beyond human con-
troll: yet nearly $1S,OOOOOO worth of
timber and other property is destroyed
in forest fires in America each year.
Which seems rather high price to
pay for the questionable luxury of
heedlessness and Indifference.

Col. J. G. Vincent, one of the de-
signers of the Libe1ty motor, believes
that families touring by airplane soon
may be common sight. Touring
planes, he predicts, will be unlike ones

built primarily for comfort and safety,
rather than terrific speed and heavy
weight Interesting to contemplate.
Touring in the air will eliminate road
troubles, also tire bills. In place OF

Because it is the commonest of our

Because it is the commonest of our
fruits, the apple has never seemed to
come in for all the appreciation it
deserves. To be sure, it has always
had it's boosters, who repeat the apple
a day motto, and probably live up to
it in a dutiful sort of way. But most
people have been just taking the
apple as matter of course, something
that we could almost always get when
we wanted it, or when there wasn't
anything more jazZy to eat. If we
had to hunt for our apples a little
more, perhaps we would begin to
think more of them as one of the best
tasting fruits ever created. Eve GER
tainly wanted her apple; and, if it
was forbidden fruit now, instead of
one of the so-good-for-you edibles, we
would regard it as the choicest dainty
on the menu.

When the Boys and Girls library
was opened in Toronto the other day
something was done which could we'll
be duplicated in many cities of the
world. The great need for just such
an institution is apparent when it is
recalled that whereas in 1909 the boys
and gipls of Toronto borrowed fewer
than $4,000 books from the public
libraries; in 1921 they borrowed more
than 100000, and doubtless such fig
ures could be reproduced elsewhere.
This Toronto library has a young PEG.
pies room and high school section.
Little by little the children of the
world are coming into their own.

BACK TO THE SOIL

We are~told that there has been a
genuine back-to-tlie- soil movement in
Russia this year, as. result of the
sending of American corn to that
ADMINISTRATOR country. If this is
true, we may feel that American
charity has accomplished a much big
ger thing than simply the saving of
the lives Of some thousands Of Rus
slams. We, are told by one of the
supervisors of American relief in
famine-stricken district that villages
have grown up over night in sections
where only weeds were fourishing
formerly, built by the people return
ing from the cities, whittier they fled
in panic when the famine came. They
have built themselves crude earth
houses, like the sod houses Of the
American pioneers, just enough to
cover themselves while they raced
against the short Russian summer to
produce a crop from the seed which
America provided. The arrival of
American corn not only checked the
flight of the people into the already
overcrowded cities and towns, but
started many people back to the coun-
try to build themselves homes and
farms again. This is just what Amer
lea hoped to accomplish by the send
Ing Of corn to Russia.

A good deaf Of nonsense is talked
about the future of mOturless EliderS.
A French officer predicts that within
five years these machines will be able
to cross the Sahara desert in a single
day. The Sahara desert is not less
than $1,000 miles wide in a straight line
east to west, and from north to south
900 miles. Either way the flight
would be Formidable to the fastest
;irpIane. The enthusiasm of this
prophet has no more basis than the
tests made by the French and Ger
mans at ClermOnt- Ferrand and m the
WAsSerkuppr. Describing the long
flights of eagles and vutures simply
by using the air currents" he says
that 1.-THE power that birds can use

fact that birds are designed and
muscled for flying. BY instinct they
