for the petty political differences, for instance? Would not the cutting out of the petty religious differences tend to inaugurate an era of political as we'll as social harmony2"
 Possibly, but the opinions of others are to be considered. You must have noticed that the sympo- sium of essays in my prize contest brought out variety of causes and conditions that contribute to Whats the Matter with Our Town. For example, the essay that took first prize mentioned lack of co-opera- tion;' general, stubborn antipathy to being disturbed in any way on the part of the self-appointed rulers of the town;' the lack of opportunity of any value for young man just starting out in business,' etc. An | other essayist said, The tendency in present-day affairs is extravaganza. Another, that we need cleaner town hall, a better lookup, a good hotel, less knocking, a curfew law for foo fast rising generation, and so on. Possibly there is merit in each of these suggestions. But, everything considered, we are not very much different, either in our vices or in our virtues, from other towns of our size"
 "Your work as substitute editor, Clint, has shown that you have an unusual aptitude for journalism. Why didn't you take up newspaper work as a career?"
 Haven't you ever noticed" said Clint, "that almost invariably the man who knows how to run a news paper better than the editor does it, is always sagacious enough to am- bark in some other line of business either altogether or on the side? And you know why: He sees afar off the specter of the wolf at the, door when the days of the sunset of life draw near, and chooses a calling for which he may not be fitted but which promises material reward, in prefer ence to one for which nature may have qualified him but which holds out no prospect of substantial rec ompense. See what I mean?"
 "Yes; you mean that Fate has spoiled many a good editor to make a poor"-
 "Go on! Spit it out! You were going to say poor lawyer"
 "Oh, no; was going to say poor fiddler"
 "Well, whatever you were going to say, I dare say you're right; and I've often wondered myself if, some times, in making an editor, Fate hasn't spoiled a good hod-carrier."
 At this point richly gowned lady, looking like ready money and lots of it, Rolls-Royced up to the office door, and the interview was abruptly sawed off.

Just Common People
 
By R. RAY BAKER.

&~~~~~NN~~N~N~ ~+*s e, 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate,
 Mrs. John Mason ran the house. hold. She was the cZarina Of the domain encircled by the hedge that hid the palatial home, and her subjects were her husband, her step- son Henry and her daughter Gloria. Not that she had ruled with cruelty far from it.
 But Mrs. Mason had come of a high-up social set and she brought their ideas with her. John Mason had democratic notions, but he was too busy raking in the shekels to in terfere in social affairs, and he let her have her way. Gloria would grow up imbued with this class con- sciousness and probably be snob because she would be taught that deference was her due from the com mon herd Of course she was too young now to evidence any such ten dencies, for she was not quite twelve months old, but her mother would see to it that she became cognizan' of her high position in life.
 Henry Mason was inclined, like his father, to be-well, not exactly pie beian, but you might say free of social letters. His father always haC been rich, but Henry had not con sidered that as changing his blood from red to blue. In fact, he mucE preferred the red sort. But Henry believed in keeping peace, so he yielded to his stepmothers suasions, or ap peared to when about her.
 One day while Gloria lay sleep ing Mrs. Mason sat at side win dow and watched two persons walk ing in the lot next door She coult see them through the hedge and sh' was snifing disdainfully. The two persons were a mOtherly looking woman and a pretty girl, rather plain ly attired.
 "There are our new neighbors," 0b served Mrs. Mason with toss of hel head '"They appear to be inspecting

Bow and Arrow in War.

As d weapon of warfare, the bow died hard. Firelocks were introduced into England in 1446, and a quarter of century later, when Edward NV landed at Ravensburgh castle, he had among his troops 300 F'lemings armed with "hange gunnes." The fact is nevertheless indisputable that as late as the reign of Henry VIII English faith in the long yew bow and the clothyard shaft displayed little sign of being shaken. The Guyenne expedi- ton of 1512 was half composed of archers, and FlOdden was a victory of the English bowmen. Indeed, as late as 1881 the practice of archery was still occasionally enforced on train hands. while early in this century there were actually Russian troops armed with this by no means ineffec- tive weapon. --

 'sGive her some medicine" Walleo Mrs Mason. There's whole caDinet full of it, but I don't know what to use!" M X ..No medicine" said Theda. "A mustard bath is the thing"
 Accordingly hot mustard bath was Dreuared and the now unconscious infant was thrust into 1t by Theoa' Gloria was dipped repeatedly into the solution until she opened her eyes, nale and weak, but with the con- vulsions gone. Theda administered other treatment and the infant was mt to bed to sink into a peaceTui sleep.
 Grateful Mrs. Mason threw asloe her social reserve. Still on the verge of hvsteria she clasped Theda in her arms and sobbed on the girls shoulder.
 You saved her life," she, cried re peatedly. "But for you Gloria would now be dead!'
 The other members of the family were as grateful if not as demon strative. MT. Mason wanted to pay Thsda for her services, but the latter spurned all offers.
 s'It's nothing I wouldn't do for any bodv'' she said. "rm glad my know ledge has proved useful"
 From then on Mrs. Mason was changed person. 'COmmOn people ceased to be words of her vocabulary
 Two evenings following the pro fessionaI call of Theda, the dictator ol the Mason household sat at the Sloe window in company with her step son. Through the hedge they could see Mrs, Kinden and her daughtel spading ground for flower garden. Henry" said Mrs. Mason. "l-A wish you would go calling with m' this evening""
 "Calling?" exclaimed Henry, sur prised. Calling on whom?
 t"On our next-dOor neighbors. PV' lost a lot of my ideas of class dis tinction. I've discovered that some times the people I have looked doWE on are the more useful class, an' | ifs the useful folk that improve thu world If you will go with me IT call on Mrs. Kinden and you may tall with Theda, and-and you can say any | thing you wish to her. In fact, I'd b glad to have her for a daughter-in law-if you still feel the same wa about her"
 With alacrity Henry found her wra and his cap.
 'Do II" he exclaimed. Well, jus give me the opportunity, that's all"

our hedge. I trust it meets their ap- proval. If it does not, of course, we shall be obliged to cut it down!
 That's what your father gets for buying next to a small lot with rundown house on it. Common people are bound to take advantage of such a situation. Your father should have purchased that place too, Henry, in order to protect us.'
 Henry, also looking out the win dow, grinned somewhat ruefully.
 q guess the new neighbors won't bother us," he vouchsafed Mrs. Kinden and her daughter are not dangerous"
 "So you know their names !'' ex- claimed Mrs. Mason, with a touch of irony, Probably you have been. over to call on them"
 "No, I have not" replied Henry, more ruefully. II should be glad to do so, though, if I thought Theda would welcome me-"
 Mrs. Mason's eyes flashed.
 ''Theda! Let me see that's the girl you were so fond of before I stepped in and prevented your losing your senses, wasn't it? Seems to me she was your nurse when you had that operation. So she has fol lowed you out here in order to make a match for herself, has she? That's the way with nurses. They weave themselves about the hearts of their patients, and the first thing you know the patient is gone. Even social dis functions are sometimes disregarded. It seems to me a nurse should know her place, the same as any other serv- ant'
 This time 1t was Henry's eyes that flashed
 Mother" he said, with forced calm ness, you have the wrong idea" In the first place, nurses are not ,serv- ants. In the second place, ii was not you that caused us to break up It was Theda herself She said she never would marry me unless my fami ly approved. When l spoke to you about it, of course you disapproved and that settled it. I'd have married
 
 sent, except under the conditions, she mentioned. If she knew l was liv' ing here I'm sure she would not have bought that place. She has no sOcia ambitions, I assure you. Such things are as much matter of indifference to her as they are tO--we!l to me I'd marry that girl now if I could gel nd into our family"
 "A fine chance of that "' Snitfef Mrs, Mason. No common folks ever l will come into this family if I can prevent it," and she swished off to her room, while Henry continued to 1 gaze rather pensively at the pair on the other side of the hedge.
 A few nights later the Mason house hold was aroused by Gloria, who was suffering convulsions. The telephone was out of order and the family car was laid up for repairs, while Mr. Mason had sold his business roadster and had not yet invested in a new one.
 Mrs. Mason was helpless. She knew | about as much concerning the care Ot children as a rabbit knows about as tronomy. And convulsiOns are danger l Ous.
 Gloria lay on her bed, her limbs jerking, half unconscious, while the members of the Mason household rushed frantically about accomplish l ing nothing.
 1 DO something. Do something ]" shrieked the mother, nearly in hys' terics. ACan in the neighbors-only do something! Gall in that Kinden girl, Henry. Perhaps she'll do some thing for you"

Food in Minute Form.

An oyster five inches long con sumes one-twelfth of cubic inch of solid food daily. and to obtain it must filter eight or nine gallons of sea water. And, according to Doctor kis- binouye, the Japanese Sardine must travel nine miles through the sea to obtain it's maritime equivalent of our daily bread. So the question asks it. self: Is there not some unSuspected source of obtaining nourishment avail able in the sea? The modern theory is that the DemersOn, pIenteouE floating organic matter, invisible. dis integrating, largely mOri9und, and de rived from pIank-tOnic forms iGinin& down into the deeps, constitutes tho food supply required to supplement- tho diatOmS.

Airplanso Uood tS Fight FIOoGs.

The floods in New South Wales, Australia, which inundated hundreds of square miles, were fought by air plane. The great rivers spread far beyond their banks and many towns were isolated. In former years cas- uaI communication was attempted be- tween towns by boats, but in outlying ranches there was frequently hard ship and loss of life. The airplane has changed that. Owing to the hat and open country 1t is able to land wherever the ground is not covered with water. Mails can be carried reg ularly to towns and hOmesteads. Re gently thousands of sheep were saved by an aviator from starvation. They were cut oR on a ridge several miles from Mungindi and their owner re" ported he was unable to get feed to them. An airplane was dispatched with a large amount of maize on sue ceeding days, keeping the sheep alive until the water subsided.
