SEEMED A MILDER EPITRI,
Small Boys Humorous Idea of Toning
Down the Enormlty Of His
Offense.

The Youngest Teacher in a certain
Brooklyn school felt that crisis had
arisen, when little Bobby, aged six,
called little Mary, aged five, a
"dumbbell"-called her the impolite
name before witnesses and refused to
apologize.
Little Mary, being a bright child,
naturally resented the eplthet, and
the rest of the class took sides. Feel
ing ran high, and discipline went by
the board.
In vain the Youngest Teacher tried
to impress on Bobby the enormity Of
his offense. he refused to see that he
had done anything very terrible.
"Very well, Bobby" she said finally,
Il am going to send you to the prin-
cipal, and you can tell him what you
have called Mary"
This was more serious. Bobby was
clearly awed. However, having TAX
en- a stand he refused to give in, and
to the principals Office he went. Some
time later he came back, chastened in
spirit, and apologlzed to Mary.
Il told him that had called Mary
slob," he confessed to the teacher
after the apology. II was afraid to
tell him I had called her a dumb
bell"
Ap0 the Youngest Teacher, wise
ip the ways Of children, realized that
Bobby had chosen fom his limited
vocabulary word which he consid-
p cred shade more refined than the
one he had actually used.

Striving and Ealllnn.

Life is not designed to minister to a
mans vanity. He goes upon his long
business most of the time with a
hanging head and all the time like a
blind child. Full of rewards and pleas
ufes as 1t is-so that to see the day
break, or the moon rise, or to meet
friend, or to hear the dinner call when
he Is hungry, fills him with surprising
joys-this world is yet for him no
abiding city. Friendship falls through,
health fails, WEAKNESS assails him /:
year after year he must thumb the
hardly varying record Of his own weak
ness and folly. 1t is friendly process
OF detachment. When the time comes
that he should go, there need be few
illusions left about himself. "Here lies
one who meant well, tried a little,
failed much"-surely that may be his
epitaph, of which he need not be
asharned.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Why tn. Dead Sea Is salt

In a lecture before the Royal Geo
graphical society, Wilfred Irwin dis
cussed the chemical composition of the
River Jordan, which is responsible for
the extreme saltiness of the Dead sea.
Analysis of samples taken from differ
ent parts of the river shows that even
near its source the water is highly i'm.
pregnated with various salts, chiefly
common table salt and chloride of mag
nesia. AS the water passes through the
Sea Of Galilee there is a slight in
crease in the salt content, but the cal
cium sulphate and the silica, which II
also contains, decrease. In the i'm.
mense evaporatlng pan Of the Dead
sea the salt-that Is, the sodium
chloride-is crystallized, whereas the
magnesium chloride remains in solu.

Oldest Confection.

The greater part Of black licorice Is
derived from Spain, where 1t is made
from the juice of the plant and mixed
with starch to prevent it from melting
IN hot weather. The licorice plant is
a shrub that attains a height Of three
feet, and 1t grows wild where it's roots
reach the water. 1t fourishes especial
ly on the banks Of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers.
Since the valley of the Euphrates
contained one of the earliest civiliza-
tons In the world, the probability is
that llcorice is about the oldest con-
fection Of all, and the taste which the
boys and girls of today like so well was
enjoyed by the youngsters of 5000
years ago.

Sometimes Quite Short.

A professor Of dancing gave a public

being admitted at so cents head. But
he was punctilious about introductions.
These he made himself. AS he circulat-

only for the evening"
One Saturday night pocket TASKS
were much in evidence, the professor
coming in for goodly share of cheer.
Soon he was saying: "a barroom in

Palisadian., 1923-03-30

AS recruiting officer in this dis
trict the subject which most interests
me at this particular time is the Citi-
zens' Military Training Camps.
The great majority of the people,
especially the younger generation, are
not fully conversant with the true
meaning of this part of the govern
ment's program to train young men
for better citizenship.
This activity is not based on the
fact that any conflict looms up in
the near or distant future which
would call to arms the manhood of
the nation but is simply. significant of
the fact that the United States Gov
ernment has at last realized the ne
cessity of providing some method OF
training whereby young men may de-
velop those sterling qualities that re-
suit in good citizenship, proper patri-
otic zeal and strong healthy bodies.
All of this, of course, is at the gov
ernment's expense. A months vaca-
tion in a camp of your own choosing
with the best of food, instruction, ath-
letic training, is an opportunity not to
be considered lightly and parents OF
boys from II to "a should encourage
