Last year the Spanish army in Mo-

some of the greatest defeats in the
history Of the country.

All over Spain, regardless sof party,

CLaugh, and the world laughs with
you. Weep, and you weep alone. -
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Well, that's all right, If must weep,
I'd rather weep alone.
For be my woes however deep
Why should l wall and groan,
Asking the world at large to shed
Salt tears because MY eyes are red?
Mirth is a social thing, and half
The fun of it were lost
Without some to share the laugh.
A jokes an awful frost
Without someone to tell 1t to,
And snort in company with you.
But you can weep alone and get,
Oh, quite as much relief
AS though you shrieked alone and
met
A crowd to join your grief;
Thus to the world my mirth is
shown,
But | prefer to weep alone.

Hiding principle behind business

How would this do for some of our
good citizens?-You may obey every

God gives to man freely. but man
accumulates for prosperity. and a
brother must suffer for the gain of

Are our churches going to fight over
technical points, like lawyers? Are
they going TO tear down the hedge and

let the greed for money destroy re-

going to destroy the greed for money?

ii ONTRACTION and readjust-
IL Of the earth's crust results in
LII another destructive phenome-
non besides the earthquake. That is
the volcano.
The cause of volcanic action is
more complex than the earthquake.
Here we must also take into con-
sideration the fact that the material
in the interior Of the earth is at so
high a temperature that it is kept
rigid only by the intense pressure of
the earth's crust upon it.
Biologists believe, however. that in
the buckling up Of the earth's crust
the rocks sometimes assume a for
nation which releases the pressure
upon large areas in the earth's in
terror AS a result the material in
these pockets becomes molten.
Such pockets would be most apt to
form where the movement of the
earth's crust was greatest. Therefore,
the theory is supported by the fact
that volcanoes are found as a rule
either en- islands or close to the sea
coast.
Ocean Beds Sinking
AS we have seen, the ocean beds
are sinking as a result of the earth's
contraction.
The downward pressure upon the
interior of the earth would tend to pro-
duce a corresponding upward pressure
under these pockets.
Hence, if there were a crack or ifs
sure in the earths surface. the mol
ten material would be forced out. And
that is just what a volcano is--a hole
or sort of natural pipe connecting
with one Of these pockets of molten
material.
The molten material usually pours
slowly out of the crater of the vol
cano.
But occasionally another factor en-
ters the situation. a great quantity
