 Anatole France, like most great men, was extremely modest and timid. He was a man who, at heart, liked great polotical manifestations, but felt exceedingly ill at ease be- fore a crowd Not accustomed to speaking in public, he formed the habit of writing his discOurses and while he read them his voice and hands trembled.
 Timid, too, he was with women, so the story goes. He seldom spoke to women, except his very old friends, and regarded them like a spectacle, wondered at them and became indifferent at almost the same moment.
 An epicurean-skeptical and in dulgent, even in the face of nature, In reality France did not love the country and his charming "Bechel- lerie" where his last days were spent. It was the war that chased him from the Paris which he ador- ed, for he feared for his valuable collections, parts of which were plundered by the Germans in 1870. He left for the Touraine as the Ger mans were approaching Paris. Chance took him to the old chateau with its lovely surrounding gar dens. He bought it for song and installed his precious belongings.
 Joseph Callaux, ex-president of the council, who has been temper arily banished from Paris, was allowed to return to the capital for the funeral of his great friend who held him in greatest sympathy and admiration. During the last few years of his exile he visited La Bechellerie and had many an in- teresting and lively discussion of pol itics.

 For the present Prime Minister Herriot, France did not seem to hold such esteem. Politically, he found him too "pale, too lukewarm, too reactionary." Speaking of one oi l the minister's books he once said: "Herriot will never have any style He cares too much for the infini tives."

PARIS, Dec. 16.-Shall the body of Anatole France be placed in the Pantheon. Frances Westminster Abbey? This is the question that is all important since the death of the great French writer. Natur- ally he deserves the most honored resting place of the land. But there seems to be some doubt if this simple philosopher would have desir- ed such honors. Many, many times he repeated to his family that he wished only the simplest funeral with no official ceremonies. Never theless the French nation accorded him a splendid burial and his fun eral was probably the most impress sive the land has seen for many a day. There were no priests or pas tors, but speeches by important political and literary men. The quais along the river were black with crowds of people and school children followed the procession to

LEADING CALIFORNIA IN
 GOOD ROADS

SPRINGFIELD, H., Dec. 16.-Illi- nois is out of the mud. Until recently notorious for it's impossible roads, the state now has the most extensive system of concrete highways in the world, figures of highway authorities show And at the general election in November Illinois citizens voted overwhelmingly for a $100,000,000 bond issue with which to build more roads.
 During the past construction season approximately 1900 miles of 18-foot concrete roadway were laid in Hi nois, bringing the states mileage of pavement up to 4,200 miles. Califor- mia, long famed for it's paved roads, falls short of this total, while New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, other leading paved road states, trail California in concrete mileage.
 An army of more than 10000 men, equipped with several thousand teams and trucks and more than 100 huge mixing machines, labored all summer and fall on the Illinois highways. An average of 50 miles of road was com- pleted each week, and single crews, working with one mixer, laid as much

 A special department employing IS skilled engravers is continually busy making the stamp dies, while scores of other workers are engaged thru out the Ford factories in marking the parts.
 In majority of instances it has been found possible to incorporate the operation with the manufacturing pro- cess. Spring leaves are marked as the steel is rolled at the mills. Drop forged and cold-headed steel parts are

 In the engraving department an av- craze of TOO stamps and stencils of the Ford trade mark in various sizes are made daily.

BULGAR BACHELORS
 CURSING SYMBOLISM

SOFIA, Dec. 16.-Thirty thousand Bulgarian bachelors are cursing the shade of Stambolisky.
 The government has revived a Stambolisky governmental measure taxing bachelors, declaring that the law is legal and that it will go into effect on January l, 1925.
 There are 100000 fewer females than males in Bulgaria, so the bach elors are complaining that they have no way of escaping the tax by turn ing benedicts.
 The governments answer is that there are surplus women in neigh boring states, and there is no ob- jection to importation of wives.

HISTORICAL EVENTS
RECORDED ON ROPE
Crude Intention Conveys
Ideas Used in Peru.

Most persons are familiar with rep
resentatives of the heiroglyphics of the
ancient Egyptians. BY means of the
engraved marks found on the monu-
ments and other records the old Egyp-
tians could represent object ideas sug-
gested by objects. and even sounds.
This signifying Of sounds by means
of symbols formed nearly true alpha
bet.
In Mexico the Aztecs had crude
system of picture writing by which
sensible objects could be accurately
depicted. but beyond that 1t could not
go. for it was incompetent to convey
abstract ideas.
Possibly the crudest invention Of
this sort was the mysterious science
of the quipus, which was taught the
Peruvian princes by their amautas,
or wise men" While both systems
before mentioned seemed primitive
this one is even more SO, and yet 1t
served purpose, and very good one,
too.
This quipus was string of rope
usually about two feet In length, COM
posed of many colored strings twisted
together To this main cord were
fastened numbers of strings of different
fcolors tied into knots, thus forming
fringe. These knots gave the device its
name, for the word quiDus signifies a
"knot." The colors represented sensi-
BILE objects. For example, white might
stand for silver. and yellow for gold.
Occasionally they suggested ideas abb
stractly--white signified peace and red
war.
The chief use of the quipus was for
arithmetical purposes. The knots took
the place of ciphers and could be COM
bined to represent numbers to any
amount desired. The colors of the
strings explained the subjects to which
the Peruvians devised a complete sys-
TEN of enumeration. The Spaniards
testified to the rapidity with which the
Peruvian calculations were made.
1t is easy to see how, with a corps
of trained officials, such a system
might be made to work effectually, but
1t is difficult to understand how his
torical events could be recorded and
traditions preserved. For this purpose
were employed interpreters of the
quipus, who with knowledge acquired
from other sources, could use these
strings as reminders or suggestions by |
which events could be kept in memory. |
These Interpreters bore the title Of |
quipucamayus, or keepers of the
quipus." and 1t was their business to
collect the records of the various de-
partments of the government. One
was at the head Of what corresponds
70 census bureau, keeping the details
In reference to the population Of the
land and the list Of those qualified TO
bear arms; another had charge Of the
revenues. and still another Of the treas
ury. Thus the government kept stored
away myriads of many-colored strings,
which comprised what might be called
the national archives.

IRRIGATION WHEELS
USED IN CALIFORNIA
Water DeDice Used to Irri-
gate Lands.

In certain portions Of northern Cal
ifornia there are still sections that
can be rendered very fertile only by
the addition of water. There are as
yet no government reclamation prof.
ects IN operation In such districts on
any great scale and land owners In
many cases must rely upon their own
resources to improvise adequate irri-
cation facilities. Particularly is this
true along one narrow valley near the
klamath river.
Along that stream have been placed
a number of irrigation wheels that,
In the aggregate, furnish an adequate
supply of water for all kinds of crops
grains, grasses, orchards, vegetables,
ETC. Generally. these wheels are about
so feet in diameter, and are strongly
built of wood. Along the outer cir
conference are placed float boards"
or paddles. The wheel is immersed
several yards In the water and the
impulse of the current keeps the huge
wheel slowly revolving most of the
time. Placed at the interval Of every
few yards on the outside of the wheel
are large boxlike metal buckets.
These are filed ss they dip into the
water, are hoisted by the revolving
wheel to the top and the contents
poured into troughs on each side.
These timber water fumes lead into
bitches dug along the steep banks of
the stream. Many Of these ditch
fumes are miles in length.
AS these wheels run perpetually,
great stores Of water are thus col
lected and distributed among the
thirsty crops Of the ranchers for
leagues on both sides Of the narrow
winding valley.
The only expense of the rancher is
the construction Of these wheels and
the digging of the irrigation bitches. |
The system furnishes its own power
as well as the DEMONSTRATING element
at the same time.
