Regarding Old Landmarks.

This stern age smiles indulgently ut
loves foibles. but it is quick TO de
mand obedience to sane conduct and
diligence to business. It's ready To
enjoy the poetry of life, but insists
that the poet meet the obligations Of
life as he writes.
Timid souls cling to the parental
hearth and decree by the old land
marks. We need these custodians of
what has been. They help hold steady
the restless youth who chafe under the
restraint of the commonplace. They
contribute to the world who strive to
hold it true To the old landmarks.
The calls of genius and inspiration
uniformly disregard the old landmarks.
In following the CLEAN of things to
be they pass over the things that
have been. In sober meditation they
often tarry at the shrine of the past.
When the spirit moves they pass over
every bound in the wild dash for
great attainmcnt.-tirit

Do you know what map is? 1t
sounds like foolish question. You
will probably contend that every
schOolboy knows. If pressed for a
definition you will probably say "a
map is a drawing which exactly rep

face. the distances between the points
upon the map being proportiOnate to
distance between the points upon the

But this is only partly true, writes

can. There Is only one kind of map
in existence which will truthful'y fl,
such a definition, and TINT Is map
made upon n globe. No fat map. large
or small, exactly represents" any
portion of the carth's surface, and onl!
on a globe are the distances betweeu
all points truly proportional to dis
tances between points on The earth rep
resented.
In other words all fiat maps are dis
torted. All flat maps tell only a part
Of the truth. All fiat maps to some
extent msrepreSent the facts.
This is not due to any lack of moral
sense on the part of the map makers.
They can't help it. The nature of a
globe is such that there is no process
by which its surface can be flat,ened
out without tearing, stretching, cutting
or comprcSsing. And the earth is a
globe (slightly fiattened at the poles).

FOOL LAWS MADE BY

Religion which is the hearts re-

resemble the cabbage and the thistle

to remove Goucher College "a high

the church. Catholic authority OBJ
jects to the Towner-Sterling bill, be-
cause it hits at the parish school. In
Quebec lot of perfectly innocent
persons are suffering the tortues OF
the damned because it has been dis
covered that an old law, never repeal
ed, prohibits marriages by any but a
British clergyman. So many find
themselves illegally wed. and believe
themselves to be living in state of

state passes a law legalizing all mar
riages made since 1929.
All this would be funny, if it were
not pathetic, and of no consequence

come was $4,000 or less. and $4,000
for married persons whose net in
come was $4,000 or more. Under
the revenue act of 1918 the personal
exemption allowed a married person
was $4,000, regardless of the amount
of net income. The personal exemp-
tion allowed married person ap-
plies also to the head of family,
man or woman who supports in one
household one or more relatives by
blood, marriage. or adoption.
The exemption for dependents
Il person who receives his chief sup
port from the taxpayer and who is
under Is years of age or incapable
