Tells of Her EX-
periences In Syria

There was large congregation
present at the evening service at
the Union Baptist church Sunday
evening to hear Miss Nellie
Laughlin tell of her experiences in
Syria during the war period. Miss
Laughlin is native of Barnet and
was for several years a successful
teacher in the public schools of St.
Johnsbury. She is now on d leave
of absence from her work in the
East and expects to return to her
duties there next year.
Miss Laughlin vas accompanied
by a native Syrian woman who
spoke in an interesting way of life
and customs in her homo county
of it, education and religion. She
said they looked to America for
ideals in both these things and
hoped that Americans would real
ize their duties and privileges in
this respect so that they would not
fail to live up to the high ideals
set for them by the people Of the
East.
Miss Laughlin tod of her work
in Syria during the war period
speaking from her personal eXper-
fences of the famines, bread lines
lack of communication and the
necessities of life during the anx-
ious days when the fate of the
world was in the balance of war.
Her first duties were in the line
of teaching but when the mission
aries left, she too0 up their work
as little else was possible during
the war. Syria is often considered
to be in the heather class, but it is
not the lack of religion" but too
much of the wrong kind that j,

Laughlin spoke from her personal
experiences of her work and her

ALL INTERESTED IN z0NlNG
Matter In Which Every Citizen and
Property Owner 10 Concerned,
for Many Reasons.

Zoning, which has proved advan-
tageous for a number Of American
communities, notably, it is said, for
the city of New York, has lately been
proposed for other towns, large and
small, of the United States. A cOnSti-
tutional movement, zoning seems to
seek that eQuipOiSe Of relations be-
tween the people and the state, be-
between one group of citizens and an
other, and between one individual and
another which the. growth of industry
has disturbed. Primarily land ques-
ton, zoning is declared to make for
stability Of investment value to own
ers, and stability Of tax values to tho
town.
More intimately. as described in a
pamphlet issued by the Cambridge
(Mass.) planning board, Prof. William
f. Harris, former chairman, Zoning Is
a question of a mans right to be pro-
tected in the occupancy of the place
where he lives or where he conducts
his work. Particularly, it is a Ques-
ton of his being able to enter his
premises without having to stumble
over distractions put In his way by
neighboring proprietors, to breathe the
air of his garden without annoyance
from the fumes of mill chimneys, and
to look out of the windows Of his
house without having unsightly OBJ
jects imposed on his view.

SELECTING SITE FOR HOME
Prospective Builder Should Remember
That Value of the Land Is High
iy important Point

After it has been decided that GER
tain site meets the requirements rea-
sonably as to location, the next con-
sideration is that of cost. The cost OF
an article, whether it be real estate or
merchandise, is relative. A piece OF
land, the price Of which appears to be
very fair for its location, may increase
the cost of building to such an extent
that it is in the end expensive, and
had this been foreseen would have pre-
vented its purchase. On the other
hand, the reverse is often. true; the
natural characteristics may be such
that the construction is Facilitated,
thus saving to greater or lesser de-
gree the excess on the initial cost OF
the land, writes Gordon Robb in the
House Beautiful. 1t is difficult to es-
innate with any degree of accuracy
Just how much can be gained or. lost,
but the following rule is a good one
to follow. 1t is generally accepted
theory that the cost of the land should
be from 20 to 25 per cent of that OF
the house. The investment Is safer
when the land bears the higher pro
portion. 1t is comparatively easier to
dispose of property and the banks will
lend money more readily on home
building project when the land has
value

The City and Its Builders.

The picture once painted or the
poem once sung. it stands henceforth
by itself; the artist can do no more
for 1t. It must live or die without
further help from him. But the city
is never thus entirely separated from
us. its builders. It remains tied to US
by the visible cord of nourishing pas
sions. It grows with US or 1t dies
with us. 1t is fn a more real and
personal sense part of us, as we are
Of it. It becomes then the reflex OF
the lives and aspirations Of the peo-
pie who dwell in it. So that a city
its streets, its highways. its buildings
its public places, as well as its busi-
ness and life-is an embodiment OF
ourselves. 1t is this living spirit that
may hearten and inspire us; that may
delight and enchant US, and that may
also break and destroy us.-Temple

At the Witching
Hour
By MARTHA MAcWILLIAMS

e. 1872. by Mcclure Newspaper Synoicate'
At the right witching hour magic
makes itself of the very simplest
things. Witness Keith's undoing. The
spell was wrought thus-wise: Items,
one white frock, one head of red-goid
hair, one pair of slate-blue eyes, deep
ly set, with black lashes; items vari-
GUS, child's foot, berry set
of taper fingers matched by adorable
hps, likewise stained. And there you
are. Keith was three and twenty, a
good tall fellow, just now far from
happy. He had been struggling up
from the depths of a first rejection.
Molly Manners has thrown him there
hard. Now he blessed her as mis-
fit patron saint Suppose she had not
SO thrown him, and this fairy goddess
had happened?
He had been tramping sturdily all
afternoon. Now, with the sun wester-
ing sharply, he had begun to think OF
supper and a bed. Camping was all
well with company and preparedness,
but sleeping on bare earth and an emp
ty stomach did not appeal to him.
Thus evidently his heartache was by
way Of easing itself normally. even
without the magic. Plus the magic, it
evaporated like dew In sunshine, leav-
ing in its stead a throbbing anxiety
lest this creature of delight vanish be-
fore he found courage to approach
her.
The berry thicket ran along the edge
of the woods, with tall trees fiinging
their shade athwart 1t. Up in the
trees pair of bluejays had been play
ing at hide and seek, chasing each
other and making hideous calls. Sud-
denly the calls grew sharper-the
birds with risen crests and vibrant
wings darted at the thicKet, swooped

School opened little over a month
ago with an enrolment of ten. Be-
sides doing their regular work the
classes have found time for manual
and physical training as well as do
nestle science. There are no tools to
work with but those few which the
pupils can bring from home. The
equipment is lacking we by no means
have given up and said 'it can't be
don't" but instead with a chuckle we
pick up the saw and hammer and have
already turned out a ukelele, the mar
vel of which is that it really makes
music. The two fourth grade boys
have made match boxes while the 5th
grade boys have a splendid exhibit in
rope knot tying. The needle and
thread has resulted in some sewing
baskets and are now working on caps
and aprons.
The school has been organized into
q club of which Elmer Faulstich is
president and Leland Houdek secre-
tary and treasurer. The ann is to
raise money for a photograph which
has already been ordered. y
A boys baby beef club has been or
ganized. There are five members,
three of which come from Dist. 2. The
officers have not yet been chosen.
The real work of the club begins in
November. May the results &C the
work over-balance their enthusiasm
now.
