WE WERE NOT
SATISFIED
By GRACE E. HALL


HAN you forget the myriad things
That made the cycle Of those
years:
The witchery of tender springs,
The autumn leaves, the tears,
The gray mists blurring out the view
The somber scenes across the way,
The unsaid things we sensed and knew
Each passing day?
Can you forget the mystic thread
We wove on fancy's magic loom
Into those days that now are dead
Dead as that first springs bloom?
We watched the gray doves come and
go,
Stood at the window while the rain
Tapped with ghost-touch soft and
low
Against the pane.
The hours were commonplace, we said,
And wished for scenes some other
where,
We saw the sunsets gold and red,
Watched snow-clOads All the air;
Heard song birds In the trees above,
Had all Gods gifts and yet
We were not satisfied with love
And now-fegretl

The ROMANCE OF WORDS
DBAFrLE"


XKIHEN. In the Literature Of
w today, It is necessary TO use
a synonym for defeat" or "foil,"
the word "bafiie" Ia a recognized
eQuivalent-but the origin Of the
verb presents an interesting
study In ancient customs and
medieval practices, for 1t was
formerly applied to a particular
species Of physical punishment.
Thus, in Beaumont and Fetch
er's "King and No King" q cow
ardly soldier recounts his exDe-
fences by saying 'SThey hung
me up by the heels and beat me
with hazel sticks so that the
whole kingdom took notice OF
me for a baffled felon."
Battling" in the days OF
chIvalry was the name given to
tile ceremony In which a per-
jured or recreant knight, either
personally or in efigy, was hung
up by the heels, his escutcheon
blotted, his spear broken In two
and either his body or his like
ness beaten by the bystanders.
This pleasant little pastime IL
described by Spenser, who writes
In the "Faerie Queen:
( And after all, for greater In
fanny
He by the heels him hung upon a
tree,
: And baffled 80, that all which
that passed by
The picture of his punishment
might see"
The accepted meaning Of the
word today Is therefore figura-
tive, rather than literal-an echo
OF the days when knighthood was
In flower.

Racine.

Strange as it may seem to those
who have been accustomed to think Of
that great artist merely as a type Of
the frigid pomposity Of an Anticipated
age, his music, TO ears that are at
tuned to hear it, comes fraught with a
poignancy Of loneliness whose pecul.
lar quality is shared by no other
poetry In the world. To have grown
familiar with the voice Of Racine, to
have realized once and for all its
intensity, its beauty and its depth, is
to have learnt a new happiness. to
have discovered something exquisite
and splendid, to have enlarged the
glorious boundaries Of art. For such
benefits as these, who would not be
grateful? Who would not seek to
make them known to others, that they
too may enjoy, and render thanks

ChirOpractic--FOurth Principle

The first three principles of chiro-
practic deal, as we have learned, with
the cause of the disease. The fourth
and fifth principles have to do with the
cure of disease. 1t is well TO restate
the first three principles before discus
sing the fourth. The first principle
declares that the cause of disease ope-
rates within the body. not from with
out. The second principle declares
that arrangement of the nervous sys-
tenn is the basis of disease. The third
principle declares that displacements
of vertebrae result in arrangement of
the nervous system and are therefore
the cause of disease.
Now, since disease is caused by dis
placements in the spine the logica.
method of effecting a cure is to re-
move the cause by correcting the dis
placements, if possible. The fourth
principle OF chiropracttc declares that
disptacemenls Of uertebrae can be cor
rected by properly directed forces. The
chlropractor is essentially an adjuster
OF the human body. Because he be-
lieves that the basic cause of disease is
within the body he gives his atten-
ton to corrective work on the body
instead of dividing his time with the
study OF outside causes and their con-
troll. His specific work is to adjust
spinal bones, or vertebrae, to their
proper relations. This he does with

Something TO
Think Ab0ut
THE STEP BEYOND
By r. n. WALKER

JUST a step beyond the barriers
y which have so long defied US, and
we are sure Of our ground, certain Of
realizing our fondest hopes, and
marching on and on with the victors.
The thought thrills US with citation,
but how hard 1t is to make the final
stride when we are worn and weary.
Human nature is prone to lose cour-
age when the chase Is tiresome.
1t inclines to become disheartened
when carefully worked out plans and
calculations fail Immediately to pro-
duce anticipated results.
The fatal fault with most of us Is
lack Of patience, coupled with an incli-
nation to be governed by impulse
rather than reason at the turning mo-
ment when everything is dependent
on calmness and firmness of purpose.
We incline to haste when we should
go slowly and take accurate account
Of our energy, where we should con-
serve 1t, that our minds may not be
filed with fear and finally overcome
with sickening apprehension.
In business, as In love, most Of our
miserable failures result from our re-
fusai to consider seriously the step
beyond.
For some paltry reason, q within Of
the fancy, or a laxity Of activity, we
find ourselves at the crucial moment
weary Of the chase.
So we sit In the inviting shade of
a friendly nook, while our more am
bilious rivals steal a march upon us
and capture the prize, only a step
beyond our impatient reach.
The blame Is our own. But the
truth never penetrates our souls until
the clear perspective Of years gives
us sharper vision which enables us
to see our folly.
It is not until then that we fully IN
derstand our shortcomings
To make amends for our own de
ficiencies, we proceed to pass around
advice to our intimates, which, as a
rule, falls on barren ground. They
know US!
There is but a step between sue
cess and failure, likewise but a step
between hope and despair. When the
occasion comes for action very few of
US, alas, know how to make the step,
though 1t Is inviting and has an air
Of simplicity.
And yet there is probably no other
movement more vitality important to
mans future success than the step
just beyond.

LARGEST KNOWN FOSSIL BONE
Discovery Made In Northern News
Mexico ls Interesting for More
Than One Reason.

The largest shoulder blade Of any
animal on record, ancient or modern.
has been discovered In San Juan basin
In northern New Mexico by John b
Reside, Jr., Of the United States
geological survey. This scapula bona
is part Of an immense extinct dinosauI
estimated to be over one hundred feet
long and markedly larger than any
previously known to have existed.
Charles q. Gilmore Of the National
museum in Washington has assembled
the collection Of pieces OF this fossil
scapula and has found that the total
length OF the bone Ia more than five
feet, nearly as tall az a man. This 10
ave times the length Of the shoulder
blade Of COW Of today.
The large fossil was found in the
part Of the earth that was deposited
and formed In the Upper CretaceOus
era, and this indicates to the geologisl
that the dinosaurs lived at later
geologic time than they had previously
supposed. This fact has created more
stir in geological circles than the
sire Of the fossil.
Dinosaurs were large reptiles with
long necks. little heads and brains.
and long tails. Their bodies look
somewhat like that of an diversified
elephant with hind legs longer than
fore legs. They dominated the earth
