THE SALT OF LIFE

c. T. Davis, in the Arkansas Gazette I know love passes and laughter dies,
 That the fruited fields grow sterile; But never shall life lose witchery And never it's joy grow stale for mo While may know and feel and see
 The urge of an instant peril Peril that stabs like a driven spur,
 Yet sweet as the song of . mother Fear that holds like trailing hound, Red death on enfiladed ground, Dread that swings like a dead thing drowned
 In a cross tides foaming another. Whatever else may come to mo
 Let fear be ever a stranger; Let me walk unguarded ways that breed The instant stroke and the flaming deeds Let me thrill to the call of desperate need,
 And the trumpet tones of danges.

DIFFERENT THAN''
To the New York Herald:

To the New York Herald:
 May I point out to your correspondent Meredith Nicholson that the form different than is not new but a survival of use org mated by Digby, who flourished in 1644? Mr. Nicholson may be interested to know that in Volume I, on pages and 4 of the ninth series of "Notes and Queries he will find contribution by F. Adams treating this phrase.
 Shakespeare no sooner established differ ent from" ("Comedy of Errors," act w., scene 1, line 46) in 1890 than Dekker intro- -duced different to" in 1903. He was fol- lowed by Haywood with different against in 1924, and then came Digby with different than" 1644). He gave way to the Earl of Monmouth, who in 1649 introduced "differen. with,' but thanks to Addison different from was restored Spectator, No. 159) in 1711, and held it's own till Fielding revived different to" in 1737, to be followed in 1769 by Goldsmith with different than"
 Colebrooke followed the example set by the Earl of Monmouth, and in his "Life' 1790) wrote: "The different prosperity of the country with that of countries under English rule," to be set aside by Car dinal Newman, who, notwithstanding the purity of his style, gave preference to different than" in his "Loss and Gain," published in 1848.

 But why worry about so vain thing? Sir James A. H. Murray points out that "the con- structon with than is found in Fuller, Ad- dison, Steele, De Foe, Richardson, Goldsmith Miss Burney, Coeridge, Southey, De Quincy, Carlyle, Thackeray, Newman, Trench and Dasent." Perhaps MT. Nicholson will be in- terested in Fitzdward Halls remarks on the subject in Modern English" chapter ii p. S2. FRANK H. VIZETELLY.

BRISBANE IS EDUCATIONAL

"One of the most educational features of The Age-Herald is the daily column written by Arthur Brisbane,' said Theodore Lamar, local attorney. There is not a day that passes that do not read practically every word of his articles and I think that the daily pe- rusal of this column is of mutual benefit to the business man and the schoolboy, women and girls, old and young If this column were cut out of the paper, it sure would leave a very big educational gap"

SCOTTISH HOWLERS
From the London Morning Post.

Here are some new schoolboy 'ehowlers" quoted in the Provincial, the magazine of the Edinburg Provincial Training college: "Soc- rates died of an overdose of wedlock." "A marsupial is an animal with pouch in it's stomach, into which 1t retires when hard pressed" "An epitaph is short, sacastic poem." Beckett met Henry on the altar steps and said, What ho, kingr Henry se- verely massacred him.'

we are going to pay the penalty for our short sightedness.
 Prof. E. P. Warner of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who recently returned from visit abroad, says he flew 2,000 miles in England, Belgium, Holland, France, Ger many, Czecho-Slovakia and Austria. German commercial aviation is subsidized by the state, another illustration of Teutonic forethought The Germans know what aviation means to their future and they do not propose to neg mark and the separations problem. They have already 4,000 miles of air lines and are ex- tending the service. Regular taxi cab rates are low. The fare from Berlin to Hamburg, 200 miles, is $3.50. In America the shortest trip is too expensive for person of moderate means. One may travel by air in Germany cheaper than by rail in America.
 In spite of restrictions imposed by the all lies on airplane manufacture, the Germans are going ahead. They lead the world in the development of gliding planes without motors. They seem to be leading the world in all forms of aviation. The air service between England and France is almost as well estab- lished and as much matter of fact as channel steamers.
 When will America the home of the heav- ier-than-air flying machine, wake up and give the attention to aviation which human prog ress and our national welfare demand?
