died, and she was left Alone orphaned and friend
less In a strange new world. Her plight seems
to have aroused the sympathy of the entire col
cny. The women adopted her en- masse. and as
her beauty was as evident as her goodness. all
the young men In the colony would have liked to
have done the thing.
Meantime the Mayfower was returning to Eng
land. Alden, crushed, disappointed, not daring for
loyalty to his angry friend to push his suit with
Priscilla, planned to return to the old home, for
saking forever the Plymouth colony. He threw
together his scanty belongings and went to the
shore where the Mayfower waited. straining her

Alden about to step on the gunwale of the
boat which would take him out to the waiting ves-
sci, he saw amid the solemn faces Of the Pilgrims
the tear-stained countenance Of Priscilla l4ullins.
Reproach. grief and unutterabe longing were
in her eyes. He gazed long into them across the
distance between them. then jumped back on
shore. "Here I remain" he vowed, raising his
hand to heaven. So under the providence of God
1t happened that not one went back in the May
flower and the colony was intact. save for the raw
ages made by death.
When woman is determined Pris-
ella to wed the man of her choice, mere man hath
little indeed, to do with 1t. Thus it happened that
before he knew 1t John Alden was safely be-
trotEed to Priscilla and the wedding day was set.
Finally the best day arrived and the Pilgrims
were gathered in the meeting house for the we'd
ding ceremony. Miles Standish had left town
some weeks before on another Indian expedition.
After the wedding sermon. according to the good

ALIGNMENT OF WHEELS

The average motorist and
garage man knows that the front
wheels Of a car have a certain
necessary alignment. They
must be drawn in below to pro-
vide ease in steering and must
toe In in front to allow for
spreading under traction.
Front wheels on new cars are
toed In the fall amount, but,
being stiff, they do not easily
spread. Consequently, the tires
temporarily run out Of alignment.
Under such conditions, say tire
experts, the treads of the front
tires scuff off rapidly.

Only two of the whole company were more than
fifty years Of age and only nine were more than
forty. Standish was thirty-six years old; John
Alden was only twenty-one There again comes
in another reason why John Alden was chosen
by the sprightly Priscilla and Standish turned
down by proxy. 1t was youth calling to youth

teen-year-old eyes Captain Standish was an "old

EXPEDITION to Search for Lost Tree"

r Attest of the scientific eXpedi-
IL tions to be organized is one by
the National Lumber Manufacturers
association and it's purpose to search
for a "lost tree" This tree is the
"Franklinia," a native specimen, now
practically extinct, and named for
Benjamin Franklin.
This tree first was discovered in
1865 in the Altamaha river valley
near Fort harrington, Ga, by John
Rartram, who once was botanist to
the king of England Because of its
decorative value the tree Immediately
became popular and those who gath
cred the seeds and seedlings for prop
agation are believed to have caused
it's determination in the wild state.
The beautiful, mildly fragrant white
blossoms of the "Franklinia" resem-
bic somewhat those of the magnolia
although the tree itself does no. grow
so high and the leaf is thinner and
of different shape.
The Franklinia requires an ''acid"
soil, condition which hOrticulturists
