LITTLE DIFFERENCE

TN THIS world there are more than
\ a billion and half people, most Of
them so per cent or more like you.
They have eyes and ears and arms
and legs. They need the same kind Of
food. and take the same kind OF meth
DDS 10 get it.
They love and hate. and fight and
quarrel. and laugh and cry.
They marry aud have children. They
see the same sky and the same sun
and the same moon and stars. They
are subject to heat and cold and pain
and sorrow.
What chance have you got to rise
above that deadly averagei
A very excellent chance, indeed.
For 20 per cent Of you Is unlike that
Of the rest Of humanity. and that 20
per cent Is In your brain.
The head OF Darwin and the head Of
the man who made his shoes were not
so greatly different--outside.
4 But they were tremendously different
inside.
II Is the difference between you and
the rest Of the world that will lift you
above the average--if you are to be
lifted AT all.
II the difference Is In your favor. II
will count. And II need not be great
difference.
II you work while the average man
loafs. you win surpass him. If you
think while his brain Ia Idle. you will
surpass him very rapidly.
The disposition Of most people to
loaf. to idle, to cultivate bad habits. Is
In your favor.
n you do none Of these things you
cannot help stand out as an unusual
man or woman.
II In addition you consciously try to
do better In all things than the aver.

Remember that out OF that billion
and a half there are only a few who

few Will give you real competition, hut

Is made Of.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

Most of us who talk of atmos-
pheric pressure in terms of molecules
have q very vague understanding Of
what is really meant. For instance,
if each molecule of air we're enlarged
to the size Of fine grain of sea sand,
or one one-hundredth of an inch in
diameter, the sand, corresponding to
the contents of a cubic inch Of air
at atmospheric pressure, would be
sufficient to make a beach extending
from New York to San Francisco,
one thousand feet wide and over ten
feet deep.-F1oyd W. Parsons, in
the Saturday Evening Post.

"Ensheim, a small town of the
Palatinate, is said to have been a
pioneer in a trade which, though
old in the East, is relatively new in
the western world. This town was
an early center of the papier-mache
trade which now Is widely distribu-
ted in many cities. Few people ac-
tually recognize papier-mache when
they see it because it is apt to pop
up in the most unusual places. 1t
may be a dolls head, a coach door,
the cornice of a building or a doc
tors model of an arm. When 1t
first introduced into Europe it
was used principally for making
snuffbUXes. European craftsmen
followed the Persian and Japanese
practice of making ornamental art
(more or less) objects from paper
soaked in glue or some such
binder. At the beginning of the
nineteenth century the Palatinate
supplied snuffpoxes for the beaus of
Vienna and Munich. It now

the Palatinate has been the intrac-
table child of Bavaria, to whose di-
rection this over-the-Rhine German
district is entrusted. Though this
district comes by the name Pala-

were palatinates in America before
the Revolution.
Maryland was the palatinate of

p~alatinate of Ferdinand Gorges.
The term is a survivor of feudal
times. In the days when a mans
house was actually his castle which
he had to defend by force of arms,
kings were not anxious to assume
responsibility. Therefore they found
it convenient to assign one of their
adherents TO a district, giving him
the power to be master. collect
taxes and administer justice as he
saw fit.
The term 'palatinate' was appro-
priately applied to such a holding
as it comes from the same Latin
root word as palace and castle.

English counties have been palatin-

was common on the continent. The
Bavarian Palatinate is however,
the only territory of n impor-
lance which has retained the term,
but even in its ease the word has
lost its original meaning.

Immediately that it lies between
two important centers. the famous
Saar Goa basin on the east, and

these two certers alone are suffi-

the Palatinate is of added interest

PALATINATEs OF EUROPE
AND OF UNITED STATES
Term Long in Disuse Suddenly
Comes Before Public Again

Answering the question why is a
palatinate?" would be a much easier
task for the schoo1boy of Shake
speare's day than a pupil of today.
One principaiity of Europe, smaller
than the state of Delaware, has now
laid special claim to this once COM
mon term by spelling it with a
sapital "P," but three hundred years
ago palatinates were as common
as Main streets, according to a bull
letin from the Washington. d. c.,
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic Society.
THE Palatinate of Bavaria which
has climbed the columns of Ameri-
a newspapers to the top headlines
recently, by virtue of news that its
citizens have erected a separate in
dependent government, is a near
cousin to Alsace-Lorraine on the
