were constructed and in 1919 more than
81 per cent of our coke supply came from
these ovens. 1t is estimated that for every
ton of coke made in modern by-product
ovens there is saved in fuel alone S25
pounds of coal. When householder
burns ton of coal he has sacrificed some
thing like $1,000 cubic feet of gas, nine
gallons of tar, twenty-five pounds of am
monium sulphate, 2.OS gallons of pure ben
zol and 0.56 gallons of pure toluol.
In our industrial life the use of coal de-
rivatives is just beginning to be felt. The
rubber industry depends upon these pro-
ducts for solvents, compounding in
gradients and softeners. Practically all
types of paint now use derivative of
coal. Printing inks, shoe polishes, brake
Innings, dry cleaners, perfumes, explosives,
linoeums, CLUES, pastes and Photographic
developers, contain coal products as basic
ingredients. The paper industry, the soap
business, and the shoe manufacturer would
be in serious difficulties without the by
products of coal tar. The electrical indus
try would lose its chief source of insulat-
ing material and the doctors and druggists
would be without sufficient supply of
phenol to make their supply of everyday
drugs.
Coal tar, the refuse of ancient vegetable
kingdoms, is valuable because it produces
galaxy of brilliant colors not so much
for the colors themselves but because in
producing them so many intermediates are
developed that are of inestimable worth
to the industrial life of the nation

after we have experienced disillusion and
walked through the byways of cynicism
and wallowed through sloughs of doubt
and come to the firm land of maturity that
we really understand the far-reaching
significance of love.
We make friends in youth and most of
them disappear. 1t is only when we have
rediscovered some of these friends of for
mer time and joined again the broken
edges of our acquaintance that we grasp
the deep significance of friendship.
We love our children when they are
little and we see them grow up and drift
away from us. But fortunate are they
who in adulthood rediscover their children
and make of them new friends, yet with
background of invaluable memories.
Youth is youth. We are accustomed to
think of youth as mere period of time.
But, wonderful as youth is in our twen-
ties, it is not nearly so wonderful as when
we rediscover it at fifty.
For youth is a point of view. 1t is atti-
tude toward life. 1t is spirit. 1t is not
passing epoch.
In fact, life is like a garden. The seeds
are sown in its springtime and those early
days are full of fresh and pleasant ver-
dure. But it is only when the summer has
come, and gone and the autumn days are
with us that we really find the most deli
cious fruits.
To a normal and sound life that has
maintained any career of continuous
growth, its rediscoveries are even greater
than its discoveries.-Dr. Frank Crane.

REDIscovERIEs

Most of the discoveries which we make
in youth are valuable only as we redis-
cover them in later years.
In childhood and in school we are filled
with impressions. Most of them lie in a
sort of tumble until life co-ordinates them,
or some >f = ~ Il brings them into
SOME sort OF useful unity.
Take books. Most of US read Dickens
somewhere in our teens, and then perhaps
at the age of forty we read him again
and are amazed at what we find.
We learn the Bible in our youth and
most of its phrases remain for long time
with US as merely familiar caskets. 1t is
only as experience opens these caskets one
after another and discovers their contents
that we are able to make use of them in
dealing with life's realities.
Homer and Virgil and Dante and evil
helm Meister" and Shakespeare are tasted
by most of us in youth. But it is only
when we take them up in later years that
there dawns upon us something of the ma
iesty and mastery of these minds.
Love comes to US with the blossoming of
adolescence and seems to US an amazing

CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

A regular netting of the Pierian Chau
tauqua Circle was held in the school
room, Sunday afternoon, January 18th,
Pres. w. J. McC., presiding. Atten-
dance fifteen, dropped from the roll two
admitted to membership three.
After the meeting was called to order,
following roll call, reading and approval
of minutes, Pres. w. ]. McC. delivered
short address, instructive, encouraging
and on behalf of the Circle, extended
few words of welcome to the newly seated
members.
A few minutes discussion was given to
the outlining of the next quarterly pro-
gram, the date of which to be set later
1t was decided that each member should
outline a proposed program, and at the
next regular meeting, the best of these be
selected and submitted for official ap-
proval.
A vote of thanks was unanimously given
to Mrs. Lydia B. Saylor, 1874 Kelly ST.,
Atlanta, Ga, in appreciation for the
pretty cards so thoughtfully sent the men,
bers of the Circle on various occasions.
Pres w. J. McC., following discussion
of the next quarterly program, expressed
in his most proficient manner to Hon.
Member Deputy L. F. Utecht, his sincere
thanks and appreciation for his co-opera-
ton, interest, and loyal support accorded
the Circle in general, especially during
the preparation of quarterly program.
A debate was given on the following
subject and proved quite interesting:

not need a powerful navy, and that all

Alt is probable that the earliest

However, these are not strictly coins. The
oldest money of which we have any
authentic record is the coinage of the two
Grecian cities of Lydia and Argos. Hero

MODERN MIRACLES

In the dim ages of history when man
first felt the desire for beauty, traders
searched the world for dyestuffs, jewels,
perfumes, spices and precious woods. The
risk of these voyages was great and only
princes or mobiles could afford the fruits of
ventures to the far corners of the world.
No man of humble origin could aspire to
the rich crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple
of ancient Tyre, retailing at 5000 a pound
Royal Purple is an age-old insignia of
aristocracy This dye was secreted by a
small shelfsh on the Eastern coast of the
Mediterranean and here the enterprising
merchants of Tyre formed dye monopoly
equaed only by the German Cartel.
A bit of the whifish liquid secreted by
this molusk if spread upon cloth and
exposed to the air and sunlight turns first
green, next blue and then purple. If
washed with an alkali soap it becomes the
magnificent crimson worn by the Cardi-
nails and Princes of the Catholic Church.
Tyrian purple vanished from the marts of
the world with the fall of Tyre.
Synthetic chemistry learned the secret of
making Royal Purple as, indeed, it
learned to manufacture indigo, the same
deep blue that may be seen today in
museums, the winding sheets of Egyptian
mummies. 1t was an achievement to
snatch its distinctive color from royalty
and to rival the best vegetable indigo OF
the ancients but modern chemistry has
gone far beyond that Today any kind OF
dye found in nature can be made in the
laboratory. Indeed, among the 900 shades
and colors being manufactured there are
tints that it would be difficult to discern
in the rainbow.
These colors all come from coal tar but
after it is understood that coal tar is the
uuintessence of the forests of untold ages
the feat does not appear to be so marvel
lous.
And still for centuries this country has
been wasting vast quantities of the pre-
cious material In fact, the manufacture
of coke, in which process coal tar is OBJ
tained, is the only metallurgical operation
that America continues to conduct, in
large measure, after the manner of cen
tury ago. In 1915 there were 41,5O0,00O
tons of coke produced in this country for
which almost 100000 tons of coal were
used.

war materials modern by-product ovens

IMMATURE CHAUFFEURS.

That many motor vehicles in Will

boys or girls is plainly apparent. It
is doubtful If any boy or girl OF ten
der age is qualified to operate even
a Small motor vehicle. much less a
large one OF more than ordinary
power.
To be permitted to run a stationary
steam engine of only tcn-horse power
a man must submit TO an examination
and prove himself competent before
he can procure q license as an en-
sineer. But many motor vehicles are
of much greater power than ten
horse power stationary steam engine.
1t is apparent. therefore, that as much
care should be exercised in qualifying

merous. and the danger attending

therefore, the fling tax may go.
But while a tax so obnoxious in its
operations should be abolished, some
other form of taxaticn should be pro-
vided to carry out it's main purpose

citizens who have no real property or
other tangible assets that may be
taxed. All citizens should bear their
Just share of the burdens of taxation

Thousands of citizens who did not
object to the tax Of three dollars but
to the manner of it's assessment and
collection, will welcome the proba-
biity that 1t will not again be Inn
posed upon them in the present OBJ
