China Had Great Ruler
in Chin Shih Huaup

Fifty miles south of the Chinese
city of Peking has been discovered
the walls of an ancient city, which
flourshed over 1000 years ago The
walls embrace greater area than the
walls of Peking and lie buried at an
average depth of four feet Late in
the Second century B. c., there arose
king In the then comparatively small
China who compared fayorably with
Alexander in conquests and empire
building and whose empire lasted al
most until the present day. This was
Chin Shih Huang or Shih Huang Ti
("The First Emperor'), whose rule
ending In 200 B. c.. marks the close of
the feudal period and the beginning
of the empire in Chinese history Shih
Huang I'll subdued the feudal princes,
built the famed great Chinese wall
and successfully defended the country
against the Tartars from the north,
standardized money, transportation,
writing and other things which aided

of the ancient classics and traditions
as possible, with the Idea that the

inidtfy Has No Pace
Among Arabs of Desert

Bravery is the great outstanding
characteristic of the Arab. His judg-
ment Of what constitutes cowardice is
relentless and terrible. As soon as
man is proved coward the tribal
poet laureate makes a song about him
magnifying his fault and ridiculing
him. If the victim is unmarried no
woman will consider him, as the song
of his cowardice endures forever in
the tribe. II he is already married his
wife or wives are permitted by tribal
law (not by Mohammedanism) to re-
turn to their fathers The men, too
cease to associate with the coward
and he becomes an outcast and a
pariah. To no other tribe can he turn
for shelter. and almost invariably sur
eide is his lot,
Above everything the Arab must
prove bravery in the eyes of his wom-
en- folk. An Arab II ans arms are in
variably covered with circular sears.
These are relics of his childhood and
are the result Of his proving his worthl-
ness to some childhood sweetheart, his
method being to stand in front Of the
object of his alteration and smile, the
while he allows pieces of red-hot char
coal to burn him.

JaUanese Houses by No j
Means Things of Beauty

The clay walls which surround
Balinese farm in Java are usually two
or three meters high. Very often they
rest upon a foundation of stones and
are covered with heavy layer OF
rushes which are to protect them from
destructive tropical rains. A door In
the wall is closed at night with wood
en- or bamboo planks, the Detroit
News states.
The walls around farms of "poeng-
gavas" or district mayors, are usually
built of more substantial material
The same is true of the homes or
Balinese princes. Yet while these
latter houses may be elaborately dec
Grated they resemble the more humble
dwellings in that they are exceedingly
filthy. The numerous members of the
family - parents, brothers, sisters,
nieces, nephews, married or unmar-
ried-live in a single house.
The pigs, dogs and goats found on
every Balinese farm are kept In a
separate hut. The loan huts are usu-
ally built upon wooden elevations and
are exceedingly ugly and ungainly.
On each farm one will also find
bamboo baskets to house the fowls.

Good Motto for Life:
Bring Out the Best"

DID you ever stop to think what
kind of a woman your wife would
have been IL you had not asked her to
marry you? Or did you ever imagine
what type of man your husband
would have been If you had not an
swered Yes?
Have you ever crushed any ambi-
tion, chased away any talents or driven
inspiration from your household? !?
What have you done to increase or de-
velop your life partners talents?
Whether you are aware of it or not,
you have either brought out the best
side of this partners life or buried all
that was good in him or her.
A good many of us possess two
sides. There are more Doctor JekylIs
and Mr.. Hydes in the world than we
realize How frequently your opinion
of man and some one else's do not
tally! You will often say: 81 can't
see how Brown tolerates Jones; he's
the meanest man in the world! y And
yet Brown has found the better side
Of Jones.
Have you found the better side of
your husband or wife? Have you
done anything to bring that better side
to the front Chicago Journal.

Drawback to Affection
Inspired by a Horse

| am not, as | say, sentimental about
horses; | have never yet seen a man
horse liked as well as nice bundle of
hay, writes Guy Struthers Burt in the
Saturday Evening Post. But on the
other hand, if you have ridden one
horse lot and know all his little ways
and he knows all yours, and If you
have ridden many lonely and some
times dark miles with him, after
while you begin to cherish an affection
for him against your better sense.
There's a sweet, warm, companions
able feeling to the ripping muscles of
his neck when you put your bare hand
against them on a pitch black deserted
trail. almost, although not quite so
much company as you get out Of dog
in camp. And as for joe IL you miss
the trail in the dark and try to turn
off 1t he will do his best to buck with
you.
There's one thing about being with
such short-lived things as horses and
dogs that isn't pleasant You under
stand what age Is too soon Here is
Joe getting old-and he's sixteen. You
get too much an impression of the
flight of time. A wise man should
keep an elephant and always feel
young.

Joke on ArcheoLogists

Fossils of prehistoric animals which
lived during the great Ice age are
found in certain layers of blue clay in
Tennessee. Man, 1t has been claimed,
arrived on the scene thousands of
years after these blue clay deposits
were made Recently, however, geolo-
gists working near the site of an old
Indian earthwork found some of this
same sort of blue clay. Underneath
this clay were human bones. The dis
covery was exciting-the geological
evidence seemed to place the first
Tennesseeans back with Ice age fos-
sils. Then some kill-joy In the party
discovered that the Indians had evi-

distance and packed it down into fiat
layers resembling geological strata

KIDDIES' CAMP
To Be Formally Dedicated
Sunday Afternoon
Thomas ]. DOnnelly and
State Health Director
DIR. MOnger to Be
Speakers

Sunday will be proud day for
those back of the movement to give
the tubercular and undernourished
children of Hamilton and vicinity
place where they can get the benefit
of plenty of fresh air, proper food,
nourishment, etc, that will bring to
them health and the strength neces-
sary to face the struggles they are
sure to meet with in their lives in
the future For on next Sunday the
kiddies' camp and it's large new build
ing on waterworks hill is to receive its
formal dedication.
And those back of the movement
have good and just reasons for being
proud The local fresh air camp is
one of the best and most modern
equipped in Southern Ohio. Organ
lied labor of Hamilton is also more
than proud of the camp, and justly
so, for it is due to the members of
the building trades unions of Hamil-
ton that the camp as built and equip
ped today was made possible. Every
bit of the labor on the big new build
ing to be dedicated Sunday was fur
nished by members of the local
unions of carpenters, bricklayers,
plumbers, electricians and painters
without cent of cost.
The dedication program will be
preceded by band concert furnished
by the combined bands of Hamilton
and all other union musicians in the
! city, the union musicians having
agreed to give their services free
and proud to do it.
The band concert begins at 2:30
p. m. and the dedication program at
800 o'clock Reverend Denny will
offer the invocation. The building
committee will turn the building over
to the Hamilton Public Health League.
Sam Love, president, will accept the
building on behalf of the league. DR..
John E. Monger, director of the state
| department OF health, and IhoS. j.
Donnelly, secretary of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, will deliver the
principal addresses.
The public in general is invited to
attend the dedicatory services and
visit the kiddies' camp on Sunday
/ afternoon.

Words We Have Clipped

A few years ago a music-hall come
dian made great hit by clipping fa-
miliar words, and we still hear him
Initiated in colloquial conversation,
London Tit-Bits says. People say "im
poss" for impossible, ''biz" for busi-
ness and ''pash' for passion.
But such clipped words are not des-
tined to appear in any dictionary, and
we must go back much farther In the
history Of words to find that when we
say "He led the van," we mean the
vanguard; when we speak of pair
of van horses, we mean "cervan";
when we retire to the drawing room,"
we ought to say the withdrawing
room; when we talk of hobby" we
refer TO riding "hobby-horse" when
we talk Of sport we mean "disport,"
Of tending we mean attending" or
a "cute" lawyer we mean acute, and
of "still" we mean a distillery.

Women Surely Haze Keen
Sense of Money Value.

Ii the average woman were without
a sense of money values, as charged
by a budget expert, the average Amer
lean family would have less money in
the bank than it has. Eliminating the
girl who lives at home and can spend
her earnings for pretty things, and
whose extravaganza Is one of the
manifestations of her youth, it would
have been fairer to say the average
housewife of America has very keen
appreciation of the value of money
and how hard it is for the husband to
earn it. 1t is probably quite true that
women do not budget their expenses; !;
government until few years ago. If
the budget expert would go into the
stores patronized by the wives Of wage
earners and note with what care and
anxiety the customers spend their
money and how anxious they are to
got full value, she might revise her
judgment a bit With due respect TO
the, paragraphers, the women are
shrewd buyers. The hardly saved dol
lars which bulk. so large in savings
fund reports and bank deposits are
where they are because the women Of
the country have put them there, often
against the will of their husbands.
The average man is much swifter
spender than woman, and despite
the jokes of the paragraphers and
comic artists, all women do not throw
away money on innumerable hats and
gowns. The budget expert did less
than justice to her own sex when she
criticized their financial acumen.-

Circles around the moon are caused
by moisture in the atmosphere It
frequently happens that the sunlight
reflected from the moon to the earth
is so refracted by the atmospheric
moisture that a ring or circle is
formed. The more moisture there is
in the atmosphere the smaller the
circle will appear. The form and size
of the ring will depend entirely upon
