IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving remembrance OF
our dear father, George w. North. VINO
died two years ago, June 2oth. lszo.
The month of June again is here.
To US the saddest of the year.
For il was on June day
That our dear father passed away.
We mourn for you in silence
But not with outward show;
For the hearts that mourn sincerely
Mourn silently and low.
Today recalls the memory,
OF our father We laid to rest
And those who stlll remember rather
Are those who loved him best.
Death has robbed US of our father
OF the one we loved so well;
Taken from this world of sorrow,
safely home with Him to dwell.

A famous medical man of ancient
times states regarding his writings
that they were but a collection of
knowledge obtained from the "Wise
Women"
D you realize that in those times
the women, and not the men. knew
about the healing properties of med
icinal plants, roots and herbs?
From the earliest times women had
a knowledge of the treatment of dis
ease and of the healing merit OF
roots and herbs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was originated by a
woman, Lydia E. Pinkham, and Is
now known and praised by women
of all ages. 1t is prepared from

School Boys In Egypt A Menace
 To Authorities

Cairo, Egypt, Sept. 21.-The inaug- uration of a strict policy by the Egyp- tfan government to deal with the fanatica1 enthusiasm of the school boy politicians is regarded by all the native papers as a necessity of the hour. if the Egyptian political and educational structures are to be saved from disruption.
 The students in the universities and high schools of the country who came forward last year and Joined in street freedom for Egypt, have now devel- oped a new movement which seems to be a general revolt against all ex- isting customs that conflict with their own personal aggrandisement.
 The students, conscious of their power, have turned their energies to eliminating examinations. Their po- 1itica1 slogan a year ago was: we do not want the English" Today they are shouting: we want no more ex- aminations." And they are keen enough to plan a campaign which will use politics as a lever to make easier their class room work.
 The elections for members of the new Parliament are set for October. The students aim to see that only candidates who heed their demands are returned to both houses. Their election cries are now being tried out in this wise: fVote for Mahm mond Bey and no examinations" Followers of Zagh1ou1 Pasha are taking advantage of the students over seriousness and are showering | upon them all kinds of promises in return for votes at the coming elec- tions.

SHAkESPEAREAN P0PULARIzER
 IN TROUBLE
Hope to Put Immortal Bard's Work in Homes at 8 Cents a Copy, Is Bommerang.

Kansas City, Mo. Sept. 21.-zeal of a Kansas publisher to get into the hands of the American public the works of Shakespeare at eight cents the copy has brought him into con- f1ict with the Post Office Department at Washington, with the result that the volumes of the immortal bard will be disseminated at an even cheaper price.
 The publisher is E. Ha1deman- Julius, of Girard, Kansas, whose ambitious undertaking was tempo rarily checked when the Post Office Department ordered him to return money sent to fill orders for copies of Shakespeare's works, in which a con test was being conducted through the United States mails.
 Julius promptly appealed to President Harding and has been granted re- hearing.
 of the Haldeman-Julius Company will go to Washington and take the matter up with Solicitor John H. Edwards, of the Post Office Department.
 Julius's contention is that his firm did not know that it had violated the postal laws by running the contest:
 Two years ago the Ha1deman-J ulius Company began working out plans to put out Shakespeare's works at a price anybody could afford.
 '.As cheap as the yel1ow-back novel" was the idea behind Ed,+a1s the plan; plan employed. Carloads of paper were bought. Presses were installed. Scores of girls for bindery work were employed. Payrolls mounted, but the Haldeman-Julius Company proceeded with its one big idea.
 Seven and one-half million volumes of Shakespeare. at eight cents a volume, was the company's goal.
 About ten months ago actual print ing of the books was begun SIX weeks ago the first of the books were ready.

 However, the enterprising Kansas publishing house is not discouraged. Announcement is made by the com i pany that it is not deprived by the Post Office ruling of the right to sell akespeare's works, providing there is no contest. At the same time it is stated that, in order to move the books i and prevent losses, a reduction will be made in thes price of a set from i$2.35 to $1.95.
 This means Shakespeare at six and 0ne-h91f cents a VOlunei

Paris, Sept. 21-Lord Curzons the British F'oreign Secretary. arrived in Paris the other day at the Quaf d'Orsay station. and found the pas senger elevator out of order. He com plalned to the station master, who. with much diffidence, proposed that the noble lord could reach the stree, level by means of the freight eleva- tor Lord Curzon accepted with our enthusiasm, and just as the elevator boy was s1amming the gates shut, there came rushing toward the lift a thick-set elderly man, breathing heavily. He made as if to enter the elevator, but the attendants waved him off
 'I am just as heavy and as old as your lone passenger" the man declar- ssl, "why should you refuse to take me up.''
 Because this is Lord curzon," re- sponded the railroad man impres- siveIy.
 "Oh, well, that's all right" replied thes tranger. making for the stars I'm only Jofre."

NEW AIRPLANE CAMERA SURVEYS
 IMMENSE AREAS
Hsmors for Room 22s.

Chicago, Sept 21-Phetographic maps taken by a new camera used in airplanes make possible the surveying in a few hours of vast areas hitherto inaccessible, according to J. M. Mer- cer, editor for the Western Society of Engineers.
 This camera, MT. Mercer asserted, was developed by Mai. James w. Bagley because experiments made immediately after the World War showed inaccuracies in the method of aerial surveying then used. The camera has three lenses and a photo graphic transformer by means of which photographic maps can be made which will be exceedingly accurate ,''
 Recently an aerial survey was made of the city of New York" Mr. Mercer continued, flor use in connec- ton with the location of certain inn portant railroad and tunnel properties The same maps were used by the zoning commission, and for such work they are invaluable.
 During the war, our air forces were an Indispensable means of ob- ta1ntng maps showing the most com plete detail of enemy operations. The lessons learnec in wartime are being put to good use."
