FALLEN FROM HIGH POSITION
Old Desk Mutely Tells Story Of the

There Is wonderful old desk with

MUST USE EGYPTIAN DESIGN
Only One Way to Mount Scarabs, Just
Now Coming Into Great Pop
ular Favor.

Speaking of scarabs, and the wave
of Egyptian influence brings the scarab
again into prominence, Leonide G. Law
eron, Chicago, recognized authority
on jewelry design and kindred subjects
in art, says:
ITO mount scarabs correctly, follow
the design Of the Egyptians used when
the scarab was worn by the kings
in the Valley of the Nile. Any de-
parture from this design is utterly
lacking in artistry.
Miss Laveron sketched off In pencil
the correct design. The king wore the
scarab In a ring. A gold bar passed
through the body Of the scarab ending
in knobs at either end, so the scarab
revolved on the bar. This was attached
to a ring, on the sides flanked with
twisted gold wire. The cartOuche of the
king was on the diverse side of the
scarab. The king used the ring as a
seal. The other correct mountlngs, ac-
cording to Miss Laveron, Is the scarab
In the center of bar pin, flanked by
wings or by the head of the sun god
or the asp. All of these motif were
used In the days when scarabs were
worn as sign Of rank.

"AvERAGE" OWNERS OF CARS

Through vital statistics the survey

dunn to higher-prlced cars, thus elm
mating entirely all the low-priced lines,
says Farm Life. This was done to get
an impersonal view of the average

Thus we learn that the average age
Of motor car buyers Is thirty-four
years; that "a per cent Of them have

deduction on figures obtained by the

requested her to plant them.
Mrs. Taylor planted the seeds in
her greenhouse, and when the young
trees were 10 inches high she put them
outdoors. Finding that they were
hardy and that they were five feet
high the second year, she sent for
more seeds, and raised the trees by
the thousand. When they were ready
for transplanting, she would put box
of them in the carriage every time
she drove out along the country roads,

The puzzling, heart-breaking riddle

She was lying in her room at the
head of the stairs. Her mother in
going out had left the door open, and
she could hear her fathers heavy,

what she heard, could just hear her

to which her father rejoined, his
voice colder:

her letters to him going out. I intend
to see that she never hears from him
or that he ever hears from her"
The door closed as II her mother
had grown fearful that the heavy
voice might reach upstairs.
Beth lay back with low moan-so
that was the reason, after those glo-
riously happy hours in the western
city, she had not heard from the tall,
cleancut young westerner who had
stepped with the first meeting into her
heart.
"Oh, Lindley, you aren't unworthy"
she whispered to herself.
The knowledge that he had not de-
liberately ceased to write to her was
a sweet respite In itself; and through
the long hours Of the next day she
rested, some of the strain over.
Then she began to plan. She

GREENLAND ALWAYS ON MOVE

crossing Westward.

1t was not necessary to walt until
the North pole had been discovered to
learn that the location Of the poles Is
constantly subject to change. II shifts
about considerably, never wandering
far at time, but this wobble has been
watched for years by the scientists Of
the world, and recently there has been
more learned about the erratlc conduct
Of the North pole than ever before,
through the expedition Of Danish
scientist, Doctor Jansen. He has
passed many months In making infinite
measurements and observations over
the length and breadth Of Greenland,
and has come to the conclusion that
the movement Of the pole is more than
a wobble-it is very well-dehned and
constant movement, and incidental to
this the whole of the Greenland con-
tinent is moving westward at the rate
of 20 yards year. These discoveries
seem to indicate conclusively that the
cold countries Of the North will at
some more or less remote day become
warm countries and comfortably habit
able.
