NEW YEARS DAY

The storm-wind sank, the moon rode high,
Set round with silver haze,
Where, late, sky-spaces wonderful
Showed green as chrysoprase.
Within the old gray church anon
The gathered folk would sit;
l met the old year on the hill,
And bade farewell to it.
The woods around stood stark and dim,
But at my feet white birds
Fluttered, the wraiths of kindly deed
And sweet remembered words
Above me, from Orion's belt,
A great gem flashed and fell
Was it seraph prince sped by,
Michael or Gabrielf
Then, though my lonely heart must mourn
For some that come no more,
White sails of Hope | seemed to see
Set to a sapphire Shore
As he who dreamed New World sailed
On an uncharted sea,
From Palos with his caravels
Lured by mystery.
So, under flaming Asian skies,
Or by the still, white Pole,
That Great Adventure, the New Year,
Beacons the human soul.

Anthracite Men adjourn

Although Secretary Davis
Reports "a Little Progress"

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Anthracite
operators and officials of the Miners
Union, who have been meeting at
President Harding's call to consider
means of settling the strike, adjourned
their sessions to-day until Monday
without getting definite results. Secre-
tary Davis, who sat in to-day's meeting
as the representative Of the govern
ment, said that "a little progress" had
been made.
The adjournment left this section Of
the general conference in a position
similar to that of the bituminous con-
ferees. Both are awaiting Monday
gathering, at which President Harding
may present the governments views.
The anthracite employers, prior to
the conference to-day, met with Secre-
tary Davis, but the difference which
occasioned suspension of work still re-
mains, the operators asking reduction
of wage rates and suggesting arbitra-
ton to determine between that and the
unions principal demand for main
tenance of 1920'21 scales.

Application for Alimonv
Justice Morschauser Rules in,
Favor of Auto Agent in
Divorce Suit

Justice Morschauser denied yester-
day in the Supreme Court in White
Plains an application made by Mrs
Florence M. Stanton, Of Yonkers, for
alimony and counsel fees pending trial
of her separation suit against Harold
M. Stanton, of Syracuse. N. Y, owner
OF chain of automobile agencies. She
asserted that Stanton, to whom she was
married last October, had locked her
out Of her home and otherwise treated
her cruelty. His income, she said, was
$4,000 year, and she wanted 500 a
week and $1,000 for counsel fees. Stan
ton denied her allegations.
"The plaintiff in her complaint sew
eral times uses the term cruel and in
human manner" said Justice Nor
schauser, "but the allegations following
do not justify such claim. All the
complaint charges is neglect to provide
and abandonment. From all the papers
submitted l am doubtful if the plaintiff
will be able to succeed upon the trial
Under the circums tances l do not be-
lieve alimony and counsel fees should
be allowed at this time"

equip ourselves the better we serve.
because in the expansion of the mind
comes the better understanding Of how
best to serve. No matter what vour
fortunes in life, the greatest compensa-

Responsibility of Americans
I'm larger sense modern invention
has put US in touch with all the world.
and here in America has come to us a
very unusual responsibility, whether it
was the design of the infinite, whether
1T was the hand of destiny, pointing the
way. Somehow in this Republic we
have made more of freedom, and we
have made more of opportunity and
we have contributed more to the hu-
man advancement in q century and a
half than all the people of the woriH
in all the history Of the world.
After the upheaval of the World
War we found ourselves more power
full. and because of this responsibility
it is up to America to stabilize our
cOaFSS NHo koL vi tiiS IikHI LTACk again.
1t is our responsibility to help the
world get on its feet again. We can
not do that unless we look first to see
that our own house in America is in
order. l think the highest duty of
America to-day Is to call the attention
of all it's citizenship to the heritage Of
1922, where we have the utmost Of
freedom and fullness of opportunity,
and can only have security in the
maintenance of the Constitution and
the just enforcement Of the laws ere
ated Hereunder. I want you men and
women to be prepared to play your
part.
at has been forty years since I re-
ceived the degree of bachelor of sci
ence, and if I knew as much and felt
as confident as I did then would fear
none of the problems Of life. Life is
very practical thing, but if you meet
the problems Of life in sim plicity and
patriotic devotion to your country you
need have no fear.
1.-THE greatest compensation that
comes to the heart and soul is the
thought that in your life you have
somehow, somewhere been Of service to
your fellows and your common coun-
try
