THE STORY OF VULCAN

Where did he land?"
''1n a place called Lemnos.
And the poor fellow was lame
ever afterwards"
How sad" said Bobby.
YES" said 1, "but he had a very,
very busy and useful life.'
What did he do?" asked the
inquisitive Bobby.
He opened a blacksmith shop"
I replied.
What do you think Of that"
said Bobby. But what has that
to do with the thunderstorms."
Everything in the world" said
I. Because in that blacksmith
shop, Vulcan made the thunder.
bolts for his father, Jupiter, who
hurled them around when he was
displeased."
"Oh see," said Bobby.
YES" 1 continued. "And in
that way he became the god of
fire and the patron Of blacksmiths
and armorers.'
did he make armor, too?"
asked Bobby.
HE made wonderful armor. He
made the armor for Achilles and
for Aeneas. I'll tell you about
them some time. And Vulcan
had three attendants, who each
had an eye in their forehead.
They were called the Cyclops."
"And did the Greeks worship
Vulcan, Foxy Grandpa?"
Indeed they. did," said I. ION
the island of Sicily, where Mt.
Etna, the volcano is, they built a
beautiful temple where they wor-
shipped him."
Foxy Grandpa" said Bobby.
1T seems to me I've heard that
name Vulcan somewhere. "Oh,
know, hasn't it something to
do with your automobile tires.
Don't you have them vulcanated?"
mot vulcanated." Bobby, "I
laughed, but vulcanized-which
means to join rubber together
with heat and which comes from
the name Of this very ancient
Greek god of fire-vulcan."

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By c. A. L. Reed, M. D.,
Former President of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

XTOU will doubtless agree
with me that, as science
- and art and industry have
developed, there is probably no
one thing that has more to do
with your health, success and
consequent happiness than cleo
tricity.
Don't you think It would be a
good idea to devote this one
article to the grateful memory of
one Of the many men whose gen.
ius has given you this blessing?
He lived at a time when prac-
tically nothing was known about
electrical manifestations such as
lightning, which then was consid-
cred either the work of the devil
or expressions Of divine wrath.
OF course electricity was then
just what it Is now and the laws
governing it were precisely the
same as today.
The trouble was that these
laws were hidden-unknown.
Their first important revela.
ton was made by William Gil.
bert, who was born in Colchester,
England, May 20, 1914.
He studied medicine, was gradu.
ated at Cambridge.
AS physician he was brought
face to face with the operation
Of natural laws.
His vision extended beyond the
confines Of his profession.
He was the first scientist In
England to recognize and defend
the Copernican Interpretation of
the universe.
He was among the first to
adopt the experimental method
Of study-the study of things and
phenomena, rather than books
and lectures.
The general ignorance about
electricity, more particularly about
magnetism, challenged his efforts.
The result was that he was the
first to frame the laws Of mag.
netic attractions.
He invented nautical instru-
ments for the determination of
latitude.
Flowing from the laws of cleo
tricity and magnetism as first re-
vealed and formulated by Gilbert
are all the other now known laws
on this subject.
With the progressive revelation
Of these laws has come the pro.
gressive development Of electrical
science. AS light, as heat, as mo-
tive power, electricity constantly
exercises an influence upon your
behavior as it relates to your
health and success.
1t has, therefore, become the
subject Of legislative, ethical and
conventional adjustment.
And the beginning was with

tive things in the world have
power. The Psalmist never wrote
a more beautiful, helpful and up
lifting line than this:
my expectation is from the
Lord"
Most Of us expect everything
but good to prevail. Why should
we go around shutting out the
honest beauty and warmth Of love
and CURLY expecting love TO be
d1sloyel, to weary of devotion, to
turn to new fancies? Why
should we close our eyes to the
fact that friendship and love-
when founded on something basic
like congeniality, admiration, re-
spect, tenderness or reverence
are so happy in the home they
nave found in true heart that
they do not go racing around
looking for a chance to DESTROY
Open the windows of vour
mind and see that real coneen.
iality never bores you-that the
friends on whom you can count
for loyalty and understanding do
not weary you-and that you
cannot weary them any more
than they can make you yawn
with safety.
Open the windows Of your
heart and see that you have a
right to expect love from man
even as you expect it from the
Maker Of all good things. In.
vite devotion into your heart. It
will accept. Make your love
hospitable to loyalty and tender
feeling. They will come into
the place prepared for them.
Expect love to be beautiful and
to illuminate your life with sun
shine and it will come in richly
through the open window of the
heart that is ready to receive 1t.
Try keeping the windows of
your heart and mind open for
just one week. I promise that
you will never close them again
for happiness will flood the
generous heart with sunshine and
darkness can find no place where
light is.

his proud secret-Virginia's

AS we rode along in the dark

heart. 1 could almost feel little

Jim puffed his pipe while
Ralph was talking. Ralph stood
without any jerk or nervous
movement relating it all to Jim.

wished it was and as only a
friend like Ralph could imagine
