Peculiar Bark on Tree

The Characteristic Of the shagbark
hickory from which 1t derives its
name, is the peculiar manner in which
the bark is attached to the trunk, says
the American Tree Association of
Washington. This is light gray and
from one-half to three-qrarters of an
inch in thickness. 1t separates from
the trunk in thick strips from few
inches In length to from two to three
feet and from one to six inches in
width. These strips retain their at

and usually curl up at each end, Civ

Biblical "Neck Verse;

The first verse of the Fifty-first
Psalm was given the name ''Neck
Verse" At one time any person In
holy orders could claim exemption
from punishment for certain crimes.
This benefit of clergy" was afterward
extended to all who could read, the
Bible being handed the culprit for a
test. If he could read a verse from
the particularly Psalms 81 Il,
his penalty was light; that is, he
saved his neck"

CHAPTER VIl-Continued.

Then said Lady Howe: Il wish, my
brother Franklin, that you were to be
sent thither. | should like that much
better than General Howe's going to
command the army there"
rather tense moment followed
Franklin broke its silence by saying
In a gentle tone:
81 think, madame, they should pro-
vide the general with more honorable
employment. beg that your ladyship
will moi mis1udge me- l am not cap
able of taking an Office from this gov
eminent while it Is acting with so

1.-The ministers have the opinion that
you can compose the situation If you
will" Lord Howe declared. MANY of
us have unbounded faith in your abil-
ity. ! would not think of trying to
influence your judgment by a selfish
motive. but certainly you may, with
reason, expect any reward which 1t Is
in the power of the government to be-
stow"
Then came an answer which should
live in history. as one of the great
credits of human nature, and all men,
especially those of English blood,
should feel certain pride in It, The
answer was:
Your lordship, am not looking for
rewards. but only for justice"
Let us try to agree as to what Is
the Justice of the matter" Howe an
swered. "Will you not draft a plan
on which you would be willing to CO.
operator
THAT I will be glad to do
Persisting in his misjudgment, Howe
suggested:
"As you have friends here and con-
Ftituents in America to keep well with,
perhaps 1t would better not be in your
handwriting. Send 1t to Lady Howe
and she will copy it and return the
original"
Then said the sturdy old Yankee: Il
desire, my friends, that there shall be
no secrecy about it."
Lord and Lady Howe showed signs
of great disappointment as he bade
them good night and begged to be sent
TO his room.
81 am growing old, and have to ask |
for lik. Indulgence from every host
ess," he o,cuded
Howe was not willing to leave a |
stone unturned. He could not dismiss |
the notion from his mind that the pur-
chase could be effected If the bid were |
raised. He drew the Doctor aside and |
said:
I'VE do not expect your assistance
without proper consideration. shall |
insist upon generous and ample APP
pointments for the men you take with
you and especially for you as well as
a firm promise of subsequent rewards"
What crown had he in mind for the
white and venerable brow of the man
who stood before him? Beneath that
brow was a new type of statesman,
born Of the hardships and perils and
high faith Of a new world. and then

commencing voice. Perhaps the most
intensive school on large scale ior
voice development was organized
during the World War when officers
were being trained. They were
taught to use a character of voice
that would carry conviction and that
would obtain obedience. Here Is the
method TO get that kind OF voice;
Stand erect; take a deep breath,
slowly filing the chest; let out the
breath quickly withou, trying to make
tone; with the last air in the
lungs (the residual air) breathe a
gentle but pure tone in as low a reg
lister as you can TO have the tone
pure
At first do not attempt 10 sound
the voice long or loud. Try only
for pure bone. Do not attempt TO
make voice with any but the residual
air in the lungs Stop when the
voice becomes tired. Ii this exercise
is repeated often enough. the deep.
pure tones OF command will grow and
strengthen and carry.

Postal Pay

The men and women who handle
the postofiices. and the postal business
OF the country, evidently used irarF
and convincing arguments with Their
Senators and Representatives w1-r
they caught them vote-hunting a.
home last fall The results was that
the legislators returned to their Jobs
at Washington filled with righteous
determination to secure more pay for
postal employees. even though it might
be necessary to override the Presi-
dents veto of the bill that was passed
before the summer recess. A truce
was arranged between Republican
leaders and the White House, and
the probabilities are that the situa
ton will straighten itself out event
ually to the satisfaction of postal
employees In 1921 the deficit to the
satisfaction OF postal employees. In
Sl57.000,00 in 1924 it was S24,0O0.000
decrease of IS per cent. The Prcsi-
dent objects to increasing the deficit
by raising salaries. II seems to be
another case where the New Eng
land instinct demands that the bud
get be balanced before it is further
disjointed.

speaks them. Perhaps no other or

the emotions. The below OF rage:

press emotion and are caused by emo

Fight on American Shipping

The United States Shipping Boarc
asks Congress to coordinate water
and land transportation, by tieing to.
gether in some OF their affairs the
Shipping Board 'and the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Board
also asks that preferential arrange
ments between American railroads and
foreign steamship companies be pro-
hibited by law. and that exemption
from taxation of all earning she grant
ed American shipping in foreign
trade. The Board has doubled up its
fists. and wants the United States
mails to be routed almost exclusively
on its boats. In short. il wants all
American business that can be
thrown to it. and it contends that it
can make the American Merchant
Marine success if it gets the bust
ness that originates in the United
States.
There appears to be mysterious
propaganda in the United States
against American shipping. The re-
port OF the Shipping Board was no,
cold in type before the attacks upon
the Board began to appear AT the
same time newspaper headlines fea-
tured the storm that had done great
damage to the Leviathan," though
no mention was made OF the English
and other foreign ships that were in
he same storm.
Besides the foreign fcSs Fl; the
American boats there apparently are
private shipping concerns in our own
country that are bent on discredit-
ng the Government ships-no doubt
because they wish to buy these same
hips at job-lot prices. and operate
hem as a private monopoly.
