AND HE WAS ABOUT RIGHT
Little Newsboy Certainly Had Some
Correct Ideas Concerning Sue
cess In Business.

The homely, freckle-faced little news
boy had not greeted the young woman
who works In one OF the downtown
Office buildings for several days. In
stead she had had to explain to, a seri-
GUS looking little fellow which paper
she preferred. Soon she began to
realize how much the CHEEKY smile and
How are you, missl" had meant to
her when served along with the latest
edition.
Then one evening he was back at
his corner and the young woman
stopped to tell him how glad she was
to see him again and that she hoped
he was there to stay.
"GcS'n, guess I'm here to stay sure
'nough. That other one was my broth
er. l thought l could lend him this
corner and sell papers myself at an
other, but the business can't run It
self and he never was no business
man."
The young woman smiled and said:
"He Is not very old, perhaps he will
learn"
mot him; he never will learn.
Twice I have tried to set him up In
business for himself and he can't make
1t go. Papers won't sell themselves.
You've got to be happy II you want
to sell papers. You can't be crouch.
He don't know the first thing about
good business man. He just can't
smile"
The young woman demonstrated her
own business ability with smile, took
her paper and hurried into the car.
But she did not read the paper on her
way home. She had other things to
think of.

Machinery for South Africa.

Imports of mining machinery into
South Africa in 1921 exceeded those
Of 1913 by more than 20 per cent and
show an appreciate increase over
those of the intervening years, says
the industrial machinery division of
the Department of Commerce. The
most notable feature shown by these
IMPORTS statistics Is the expansion
which has taken place in machinery
imported from the United States. De-
spite the fact that there was de
.ided drop of imports from the United
States in 1920, as compared with those
of 1919, the salient fact Is that in 1921
the manufacturers of the United
States supplied more than 80 per cent
Of the mining machinery purchased by
the mines of the Union of South
Africa, which is more than twice the
amount purchased from the United
States in 1913.

STUDY The KORAN
Arab Children Learn Little Else
in Their Schools.
Education Considered Complete When
They Have Mastered the Law
Laid Down by the Prophet.

This is the end of the Rue Kleber,
the most animated street In the kaS-
bah. Two lines of passers-by come
and so here between the booths where
ripe, fruit, fried duinties, and spices
are sold, one line moving upward, the
other coming down-Moors in djellabs,
others dressed like countrymen, chill
dren, women with their wells, negresses
with faces uncovered; animals, too,
mostly goats and ewes led along by
their masters. Only the eternal little
donkeys of all Mohammedan countries
seem to be lacking.
Fromentin described this square at
length 10 years ago. There Is no
slackening In the crowd. A man :.
bending under his gay load of cast-otf
clothing, cries the bargains he has to
offer like those one sees on the white
quaiseriahs of Fee or Marrakech. {.
Not far from the square, there was
school that seemed to be the very
one he described: ut Is still there.
1t will stay there so long as the school
master lives, and no doubt it will be
there after him. Why not2 For, If
you think like an Arab, there Is no
reason why 1t should cease to be
there"
The school Is always there because
1t always has been there, and among
so many signs Of exhaustion and de-
crepitude 1t points out to us-still
living and communicating itself to the
new generations-th Islamic idea
that was set aflame in this region so
long ago. No doubt its Pickering light
sinks lower us the Moorish population
in the Kasbah grows smaller but the
acknowledgement fame of holy
lamp seen in the moment before ex-
tinction, is no more unforgettable.
/ hear sound as If from bird
cage, confused prattling of chill
dren's voices. l pushed open door,
and there they are, figures of little
folks, squatted in the shadow, covered
with their hoods, all with delicately-
cut little faces from which the great
black eyes are glowing. All together,
row by row, each one holding his little
writing board, they sway back and
forth to the cadence of the verses from
the Koran that they are shouting in
unison-an array Of little demons In
circle about necromancer, carrying
out some rite. The sorcerer
schoolmaster, with his long wrinkled
face, spectacles on his nose, and the
air of an old wolf under his hood,
keeps them at the end Of his rod which
he points from one to another. You
might almost say that he is pouring
into the little shaven noodles the milk
of the Koran.
These children are miniatures of the
Arab men, like those little marionettes
that play and dance. In three or four
years, when they leave their school
master knowing by heart the book
which for so long time has given the
law to the men and societies of Islam,
they will have begun to assume for
life the grave, unyielding bearing of

Soldier Ants.

Before the biological society In Lon
don naturalist described his studies
of the African termites or white ants.
Certain individuals in every nest have
no other apparent function except
that of fighters or soldiers. Some have
long beak from which they eject an
acrid, corrosive fluid; others inspire
terror by making loud clicking
noise with their mandibles; but they
neither shoot nor bite. One singular
observation of the naturalist was that
the soldier ants, which rush out to de
fend an attacked nest, do not return
to the nest, but wander about and soon
perish from exposure to the outside
air.

Vitality of Matthew Arnold.

Matthew Arnold has been dead 81
years. Most of the men who knew
him intimately are also gone. The
fuslllade of diary, "reminiscences, and
post norton recollections have been
fred. Now value only is the test of
his poetry. What survives? When a
Twentieth century publisher was
asked this question, he turned to his
bill of sales under Arnold. One feels
like Chesterton when he heard n
writer describe to what heights can
rise "a Shakespeare, Burns and an
Ingersoll;" an impulse TO run and
whisper such u delightful incident to
Arnod's tomb In Laleham. Yet, after
all, this was reasonable test To
read an authors book Is compli-
ment; to buy 1t recognitlon,-Stan-
ley T. Williams In the North American

Little Interest In the Phone.

When the telephone was struggling
for recognition 40 years ago 1t was
the idea of Alexander Bell to popular
lie the instrument by showing it at
public gatherings and incidentally, In
this manner, to gather some coin to
help defray the great expense which
he was put to In the development Of
the instrument. Mrs. w. ]. Coyle, now
of Floral Park, Long Island, was liv-
ing In Baltimore, Md, at that time and
was engaged in preparing for char
ity fair when she was approached by
n friend who was also interested In
the fair and he brought with him the
inventor of the telephone who ex-
planned his scheme. The idea was to
install instruments at the fair and at
the Masonic temple few squares
away and to make charge of ten
cents at either end for the experience
of conversing over the wire. The in
strument created little interest and
the proceeds were barely worth while.

Eqypt's Dense Population.

Egypt has an area OF about $4,000
square miles. The bulk of the coun-
try consists of inhospitable sand and
desert. Practically the only settled
portion consists of a very narrow band
Of cultivated territory on each side of
the Nile. The Nile valley and delta,
the only settled portion of Egypt, have
an area of 1926 square miles, al
most exactly one-fourth the size Of
New York stute. This narrow area
contains the densest population In the
world. At the moment 1t should come
to approximately 14,000,0O0. II New
York state were ms densely peopled,
1t would have nearly 60,00OO00 inhab-

would on the same basis have 100000

GREAT DEMAND FOR FORDSON
TRACTORS IN TWO BIG FIELDS

Both agriculture and industry
are making demands for the Ford
son Tractor
While the use of the Fordson as
a farm implement is extending in
every agricultural section of the
country as farmers come to realize
the advantages and economy of po-
wer farming, a most noticeable fea-
ture of the sales is the growing use
of this sturdy and dependable power
plant in Industrial and commercial
activities.
Contractors and builders are ev-
erywhere adapting the Fordson to
meet their needs for power, either
movable or stationary, and road
engineers throughout the country
are specifying it's use with highway
construction machinery
To meet this growing demand for
Fordson Tractors production is now
at capacity and for the first three
months OF the year reached a total
Of 27,087 as compared with 8,340
for the same period a year ago.
