SHADOWS

These days our nation is under the shadow Of a great
calamity.
The death Of Warren G. Harding, our late beloved Presi-
dent, has cast an unparalleled gloom over the nation he loved
SO dearly, served so well and died for so heroically.
Stunned, crushed, with the heart of the nation still bleed
ing IN its sorrow, is there not beauty to be found in the shad-
ows that this fref casts? Softening the hearts of millions of
his countrymen, as shadows always soften, merging their SYM
pathy, love and sorrow into one common cause, as shadows al
ways merge, has this national grief not brought the American
people closer, dearer, nearer to one another?
1t is the shadows that make us human.
From the shadow of this great calamity shall we not
as a nation emerge more loving, more kind, more understand
ing, more human than ever before? How better than this can
we honor and revere the memory of Warren G. Harding, than
whom there was no more 1ovable, kind, and understanding and
human heart among us. How better can we show our deepest
appreciation of his great sacrifice than by letting the lights
cast by this shadow play upon our hearts and minds until
our common sorrow, touching fundamentals as all sorrows
do, helps to bring about a gospel of understanding - as he
termed it, and for which he talked and worked and prayed.
Just as the marble masterpiece and the prize picture
owe the soul of their charms to the shadows which play upon
them, shall not this entire nation gain a charm Of person
atty, a nobility of character, a beauty of purpose from the
shadows cast by the passing away of one who was the soul
of all that was kind, loving and noblef

MONTREAL-The last chapter of
a fairy tale of childhood come true
Is being written in the social regis
tiers here.
It began 10 odd years ago when
two pretty little girls we're playing
together in the nursery OF George
Cook, one of Montreal's captains of
finance.
A nurs had just been reading to
them a tale of chivalry and romance.
The children were e~nthralled. They
dropped their dolls and playthings
and listened attentively.
But finally the story ended, and
the older of the sisters sighed:
when I grow up 1 am going to
marry a soldier when he comes back
from the war"
And I shall marry a soldier. too,"
chimed in the younger girl, "but he
must be an earl"
The older girl came back:
"Yes, I think I shall marry an earl,

is the earliest age at which children
start teething? For the last few
days the baby is biting his fists and
sort of rubbing his lower gum with
his tongue. He is two months old

this be a sign of teething?
Answer
I hardly think the baby Is teeth

babies start getting teeth at about
four to I'VE months of age. Some
times much later but seldom very
much earlier. Perhaps the baby
