YOUR CALLS

THERE are some Women who really
1 seem to delight In making their
calls IN other women just when those
calls will cause the most embarrass-
ment. Mrs. Jones, who has three or
four servants and no household re-
spOnsibilities, save the supervision OF
her servants, seems to enjoy dropping
In on Mrs. Smith, who has three chill
dren and no servants, at about nine In
the morning, finding the Smith house
In considerable disorder, Mrs. Smith
In an ill-6tting morning dress, and the
youngest of the Smith children in his
most peevish mood. Mrs. Jones ex-
plains that she had important com
mittee work to discuss with Mrs.
Smith but she could just as well have
telephoned her errand or at least have
telephoned to warn Mrs. Smith or
her arrival.
Then there are the people n al
ways call when they know you have
house guests. They drop In Sunday
afternoon possibly when you have
planned to take a stroll over to the
Country club or to go motoring or
rambling through the country.
There are some people whom you
like very well and whose presence Is
a pleasure when you meet them after
working hours whom you would very
much rather not have ONE TO see you
at your office or place of business.
The day they select to drop In Is sure
TO be your busiest day. Don't let me
disturb you at ALL" they say, as they
tuck themselves into a chair In your
office. 81 haven't anything else to DO
80 I'll lust sit here with a book or a
magazine until you are ready to go
out for luncheon" Or possibly II you
have no office of your they send
In for you to come to see them In the
outer office Of the establishment where
Won work. or sit on a stool In front of
the counter where you work as sales
person, little realizing that they are
1eopardIzIng your position, possibly,
nv being seen there during business
hours.
There are times when the short call
is required by courtesy, but to make
that call long is extremely inconsid-
crate. So when there Is Illness In a
friends household you should call to
inquire for those who are Ill and also
to ask whether you can be Of any serv-
nee, but your call, if you wish to make
yourself a welcome caller, should not
be extended owe more than five or
ten minutes. Likewise a call of con-
doIence should be. extremely short,
unless, Of course. 1t is perfectly patent
that In making 1t longer you are of
actual assistance or comfort.

HAVE HOMES UNDER GR0U Nd
Have Established Themselves Be-
meath the Soil.

In his account of the Retreat of the
Ten Thousand" after the failure OF
Cyrus the Younger to capture the
crown Of Persia from his younger
brother, Xenophon 600 B. c. men
lions a peculiar tribe living In the Ar
menian highlands who dwelt under the
ground with all their live stock. In
some regions along the chalk cliffs OF
France one will find whole villages
under ground, for the reason that the
surface is valuable for vineyards. The
owner digs a pit or quarry in the sur
face, forming a cellar, which Is ac-
cessible from one side only. Then
from the sides of the pit he cuts the
rooms of his dwelling under the vine
yard. The windows and door open into
the pit, while the rock that Is taken
out Is used for a fence.
In these chalk cliffs primitive man
found shelter in caves or beneath over
hanging lodges, where he also found
flint for his tools. Later came the
Gauls to dwell in these caves,
which offered homes for q large popu-
latiOn.

E~sperantists and others interested
In the development of a universal
language should take note that in the
Chinese city of Shanghai a new uni
versal language Is now virtually in
use over the telephone. The popula-
tion Of the city is so heterogeneous,
there being 81 different n~ationalities
according to one observer, that it was
found necessary to adopt a special
language In making telephone calls.
The language adopted was "pidgin"
English, which Is familiar to every
American who receives a "checkee"
from his Chinese laundryman.-TeIe-

TO RESTORE WEBSTER HOME
Site May Be Purchased and Main
taIned az Memorial to the Emil
nsnt photographed.

Plans are now afoot In West Hart
ford, Conn, for the restoration Of the
old farmhouse, fast falling into decay,
where Noah Webster was born I'D
years ago. Repairs already have been
commenced by the present owner,
II. A. Hamilton, and the task will be
carried to completion at his own ex-
pense. 1t is his hope that public In
terest may be aroused sufficiently to
bring about the purchase of the site
and It's maintenance as a memorial to
the eminent photographer.
The Webster house Is of two stories
and a Iean-to. There Is a long wood
shed at the back. 1t stands upon a
little ridge, and looks down from this
eminence upon the city of Hartford.
Until he was fourteen Noah Webster
worked on this farm with his father
and brothers. He was determined to
go to college, and against the wishes
q his father was admitted to Yale
in 1774.
His first venture was "Webster's
Spelling Book" 1t enjoyed a tremen-
dous vogue and pupils of the little
red schoolhouse studied 1t almost uni
versally. In 1906 he sat down to com
pile his dictionary, and at the time
of his death still was engaged In the
task Of keeping his edition In step
with the progress and change Of the
English language.

NATURAL AND OTHERWISE
By T. T.. Maxey
ZION PARK

Zion National Park is in the extreme
southwestern part of Utah. Zion Can
yon, its dominating feature, bisects
the park from north to south. This
canyon is fifteen miles long, varies In
width from so to $500 feet and It's
walls range from 800 to 1000 feet high.
Crooked as a snakes trail, topped with
many splendid and m domes
and peaks and aglow with color, this
canyon is one of the striking scenic
~spectacles of Western America.
Zion is oft referred to as the "Rain-
bow of the Desert"-its color scheme
being a mixture of grays and reds and
browns and yellows which shift into en-
tirely new and unexpected combina-
lions of varying degrees of intensity as
the sunrise, sunshine and sunset come
and go.
This region was first known to white
man when pioneered by Mormons who
were taking stock of their holdings in
1858. The MormOns ~colonized here and
Brigham Young, their leader and
prophet, termed the place Little Zion
"a sacred place for his people where
they might find protection if need be
from the Indians who never entered
it's sacred precincts" The Indians
called Zion Canyon Mu-kun-tu-weap
(ValleyOf Many Waters) Zion was little
known, however, because of it's mac.
feasibility, until Uncle Sam preserved
1t for the enjoyment of his people in
1915 by prociaiming 1t a national park.
The great walls of the tempted
peaks, extending from the high pla-
teaus to the depths of the canyon, dis
strata which has been painted by the
brush of time in every shade of pink,
gray, brown and yellow, striped some
times with darker colors, covered
sometimes with a layer of white.
Swallowed by green trees and canopied
by a deep blue sky, this scene pre-
sents a color scheme of marvellous
beauty.
While vfsualizing such a startling
panorama in a desert world, remember
that the walls of this canyon have
Oeen fashioned by the erosions of cen
turtles into an endless maze of huge
dcmes, towers, spires.
aicoves and natural bridges of many
styies and sizes and you mind will I'M
