The WOMAN OF POISE,

Once a rarity, is now to be observed
and admired upon every hand. Indeed.
no other woman can flourish long in
the midst Of this modern, complicated
life. In the home, in business, in social
life, the woman who Is serene and
confident wins, while the nervous,
Mustered individual wastes her talents
and gets nowhere. OF course, poise is
dependent mainly upon sound health
and steady nerves. II you feel that you

7-YEAR-OLD PREACHER.
Pittsburgh Boy Has a Remarkable
Memory,
From the Pittsburgh Sun.

From the Pittsburgh Sun.
The youngest preacher in the world.
Howard Wolfe Specht. seven years
old. will be the principal speaker
Sunday night at services in the Peter
Robinson Gospel Tabernacle, 81 Full
lerton street.
He has never been to school. but
has studied under the instruction Of
his mother. He reads and writes,
uses a typewriter, draws, plays the
piano, models in clay and is familiar
with wireless apparatus and other
mechanical equipment:
The boy is unusual principally be-
cause Of his remarkable memory. He
demonstrated this first when one day
he began reciting the Thirty fourth
Psalm. and his mother learned that
he had committed to memory not only
most OF what he had heard read. but
also the meanings and definitions as ex-
planned by her.
+ The boy has preached in Butler and
in churches In Pittsburgh several
times and the attention given him
has not affected his estimation of his
own Importance. The mother does
not like him to speak too frequently,
but occasionally he goes to the pull
pit. prays, breaches, then invites his
hearers to come to the altar. confess
their sins and promise to lead better
lives.
He has received nothing for his
preaching. but has contributed his
share Of collections to the support Of
a missionary in India. His ambition
Is to be a great preacher but first he
wants to visit foreign lands for mis-
sionary work.

Pneumatic Elevators.

Doth in the United States and
Europe there has been tried ele-
vator operation by suction. Air is
exhausted through the pipes that
take in the grain and the grain is
delivered by the air draught through
other pipes to any desired place.
Several pipes may be introduced into
a vessels hold and will remove the
grain therefrom.
An automatic scale Is part Of the
system. SO that the grain is weighed
during the process OF elevating and
delivery. Quite a complicated sys-
tenn of exhausting and delivery are
connected, and the plant in many
cases works to perfection, delivering
the grain to a number of places with
the one installation of pipes.

the growing complexity of our modern life, the

Millions of Americans-weary, disillusioned-

spiritual tonic-the knowledge that it is always

through terrific earthquake of prices fortune

grandparents, in the days following the Civil

times that We are passing through now. So

war. The only difference is that they suffered

Growing Use of Radio.

Evidence of the astonishing range of useful
ness of radio communication is seen in the
division among no less than 20 different classes
of the available wave lengths for wireless
telephony. Before the war a subject for ex-
pertinent among experts, wireless transmission
of the voice has become almost overnight a
commonplace in the homes of thousands of
amateurs and an invaluable utility in a score of
important fields. This list of reserved wave
lengths reported by Secretary Hoover's cor
ference is sufficiently suggestive of the POSSIBLE
tiles. Provision is made for the direction of
ships through fogs, for communication between
moving aircraft and ground stations, for the
circulation of bulletins by the federal govern
ment and states, for commercial services such
market reports, for entertainment and for
experimentation.
The list of possible uses of the radio is
scarcely begun with these items 1t is almost
infinite. There is rigid limitation in the small
range of wave lengths which will make private
conversation by wireless telephone out of the
question, but this is circumstance that only
serves to insure the Specialization of the ether.
For public service and entertainment it will be
more useful by reason of this restriction. Sec
rotary Hoovers formula has provided rules that
fits of eliminator of distance and isolation.
Public opinion will enforce the rules. General
utilization of the privileges of the ether, al
ready advanced beyond any degree that could
have been predicted even one year ago, will
come about at i rate comparable with the early
growth of the wire telephone system.

Birthplace of Old Hickory.

Several pages of a recent issue of the Con-
gressional Record are occupied with discus
sion OF the old dispute between North Carolina
Jackson was born in one state or the other
There also is map showing the region where
Jackson certainly was born, and depression
dealing with what the governor of North Caro-
lima said TO the governor Of South Carolina
which appears to confirm the traditional YER
sion to the nature of that brief conversation.
The upshot OF the argument about Jackson's
birthplace seems to be that he first saw light
on land close to the line between the two states
which had not been clearly defined as a part of
the other commonwealth and was not appor-
toned between them until 40 years after young
Andrew arrived the scene.
There was, however description of the
boundary on paper which South Carolina
claims was sufficient to make a South CAROLYN
ian of Old Hickory. North Carolina does not
admit the claim. The impartial outsider who
wishes to do justice but has not time to dig
into the details of this famous difference Of
opinion, may find a way out by considering GER
tain other facts. Jackon born in 1867,

Lydia angrily tore up the letter,
