PANCAKES PAST AND PRESENT
Comparison Made That Is by No Means
FIattering to tho Delieaey
Today.

Tie pancake Of our fathers was
noble circular structure, spreading it's
wrinkled suburbs to the edge of the
plate where the potter had wisely pro-
vided terraces. The radius must have
been all Of three inches. Within the
area, duly buttered and sweetened, was
gustatory poetry, such glory and won
der and delight and smacking SAVIOR
that the hired man, facing the break
fast table, ceased altogether to grumble
over fate that got him out Of bed be-
fore dawn. Appetites in the good old
days were magnificent institutions, the
finest products Of open-air living and
service at the pillow handles. But for
all these grand proportions no one
could eat more than eight or ten pan
cakes at a sitting. The things were
filling. They took up room like good
farm horse in his stall. At a quarter
past the zero hour everyone at the
table cried Enough" even the hired
man. The pancake Of our fathers was
no fluffy affair, after the manner Of
our modern desserts, that made man
ask what he'd eaten after he'd eaten
it. In contest between neighbors in
Long Island village some time ago,
native consumed 70 pancakes, so
called. The incident adds to the sorry
evidence that this Is decadent age.
1t is proof that the pancake of the
day is some miserable travesty Of the
-hclr MI cd olyn M
blessed tradition.-Toledo Blade.

Dogs are all right in their place, but
the caresses lavished on them by some

n. p Good, head Of System Fedora

article in the Railway Maintenance

President Rea fails to consider that
our national election laws were made
by those authorized by the people to
do so, while employees of the Penn
sylvania railroad were required to
vote, if they voted at all, under regu-
lations established by company off
cials and few political henchmen
who had no authority under the trans

the employees to create such laws.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

What ForwardLooking Teachers Say
Henry Pratt Judson, president Uni
versity OF Illinois, Chicago: The old
age pension plan to which you refer
strikes me as a wise one tending to
thrift and foresight, and leading to
suitable care for old age without pau
perism."
Sidney Edward Mezes, president
College Of the City of New York,
New York; Il think it is plain to all
thinking men that the poorhouse sys-
tenn is expensive, ineffective and un-
necessarily unnatural. The plan of
state paid pensions is much to be pre-
ferred,"
A. MacKensie Meldrum, A. NJ, D. D.
chancellor Spokane University, Spo-
kane, Washington: The poorhouse
system was perhaps the best our
fathers could do, but for Us to longer
continue it would be a disgrace"

in favor of system of old age pen
sions."
Mary +. Woolley, president Mount

sachusetts May | say that old age
pensions appeal to me as a wise meth
od of meeting the needs of dependent
aged men and women than does a

Joseph Ernest McAfee, Community
Counselor University of Oklahoma,

sion for the care of the dependent

Buddha and the Criminal.

A legend Of Buddha tells how the
god once visited the realms of dark
ness where the wicked lay. There he
saw a criminal, loaded with fetters,
and without hope of release. "Can you
not recall single good deed In your
life OF wickedness?" asked Buddha.
The criminal thought very hard for
long time, and at last remembered that
he had once refrained from crushing q
spider. With a smile which illuminat-
ed all the vast surrounding darkness,
the "Giver of Light" pointed to where
the criminal saw, hanging from above,
single thread of gossamer, like that
spun by spider. Selling it frantically,
the poor wretch found, to his surprise,
that the slight thread was yet strong
enough to bear his full weight and en-
able him to climb from the pit of dark
nes up to the realms of light

A romantic fact in connection with
the building of the fen church of YAK
ley England, has recently come to
light. This ancient church, with its
tall spire and tower, erected in the
Fourth century, was the life work of
mn abbot of Holme, who died, how
ever, before 1t was completed A
legend was handed down that the alb
bot on his deathbed requested that his
heart should be immured In its walls,
and that This was done. The legend
came to the hearing of q clergyman of
ficiating temporarily at Yaxley, and he
determined to investigate it's truth. He
had all the walls carefully sounded,
with the result that hollow place was
found in the wall of the chancel. An
opening was made, revealing q cavity
in which was found small brown box,
little pinch of dust-proof
that the pious fathers wish had been
faithfully observed.
