to industrialism. Civilization does not
consist in knowing which fork to use
for your oyster cocktail. There may
be deal of primativeness and rapa-
city underneath the surface polish.
ssThe civilized man is first of all
who faces the facts of life; because
no solution of our problems is possible
unless the problems are acknowledged
and faced squarely. There is too much
piling up of alibis nowadays.
sSecond, tho civilized man must
face the problems of the inner man.
The state is not merely interested in
equipping you to make living. An
education of the mind without deyel-
opment of character is a menace. We
see the results of too commercialized
education in the daily press reports
of crime. You must do your part
toward filling up the reservoir from
which you have drunk, not merely
draw out.

81 am certain that In the acauem'o
world we always have put TOO nucu
stress upon memory and not enough
upon reasoning" DR.. Herbert .. Lang

"Third, the civilized man Is not
willing to live on the privileges and
immunities earned by the sweat of
some one else s brow. I think base
bah is the bane of American existence
because there are too few players and
too many spectators We have to learn
to make our own investments in life;
to put back into it if we are to con-
tinue to draw out of it. We cannot
just sit in the bleachers and watch y
handful we have paid to do it all for
us.
ssFourth, the civilized man deter
mines his action in life, not on the
basis of his likes and dislikes, but on
the basis of the effect of his act on
life. He universalizes-that is, he con-
siders how the world would be if all
men should do what he considers doing.
q And, fifth, he believes in the fu-
ture of the race. There are those VINO
claim that dilution of blood is bring
ing us to low plane of utter com
monplace. But if the fruits of people
like you college graduates, measure up
to the first four requisites of the ciyi-
lized man, the fifth will be self-ful-
filling. Even if you do not believe
in evolution as to the past, you must
believe in it for the future. The civil
lized man who has all his parts devel-
oped makes his estimate of life on the
fruit of it, not on the root. Life is to
be judged not on the cell from which
it came, but on what, to the present
moment, at its highest development, it
has been able to produce. Civilized
man is more interested in where hui
mainly is going than where it came
from. He not only believes in the
future of his race, he works for it.
Each of us must determine whether
we are burden to society, or an aid.
We must be as the man of whom Saint
Paul spoke when he said he runs not
as one uncertain, and fights not as
one who beats the air. /"

To Stop Shoe Squeaks

Shoes squeak because the pieces OF
leather forming the sclss do not lie
close together. and rub and bend with
the movement of the feet
A good plan to stop squeaking is to
put a little sweet oil In pan or dish
and place the shoes to soak over night
They will take up enough oil to deaden
the squeak and 1t Is also good for the
leather.
Another method Is to remove few
rivets along the side Of the shoe and
insert powdered graphite or chalk or
thin pieces of felt rubbed with chalk.
and rivet up again Three or four
more small nails or pegs may be
driven into the center of the sole, but
this reduces the feubility of the
shoes.-London Tit-BitS

WONDERS IN IDAHO

We have heard lots about the won
derful drive up the Middle Fork, the
scenery, the roads, and so forth.
Sunday we determined to try it our
selves, 50 we started out of town about
seven o'clock and drove down through
Kooskia and up the river. For few
miles the road was rough and then
steadily improved, although it was
somewhat narrow until we got into the
forest reserve. After that they were
fine, especially the new Lolo Pass road
which is under construction.
Talk about scenery When you want
to see America first, start on the Mid
die Fork. Miles and miles of forest;
canyons, springs and streams abound
and all the way the Middle Fork rolls
steadily beside the road. At the forks
of the Middle Fork, where the Selway

A bd- el-krim confirmed, Is national.
Every able bodied man of whatever
age is a soldier. Revictualment is
effected by districts, and in each
region, except in emergencies, only
half the available men are called
for service at any given time All
the military frontiers, including the
coast, are guarded and patrolled. In

How the Army Operates.
Our only army" and ADD l-Krim,
lis the infantry. We have no cavalry
and practically no artillery. though
there are plenty of captured guns"
The organization of the infantry, ]
had occasion to note, is simple. For
each 25 men there is a sergeant; for
so, a second lieutenant; for 100, a
lieutenant; for 200, a captain, and for
500. a battalion chief or pasha. There
are as yet no generals.
The Riffian soldier is armed with a
rife and a curved dagger. He wears
simply the national garment
djellaba or cloak of brown homespun
the hood of which, thrown back, is
his knapsack. His smooth-shav
sunburnt head is sometimes turban-
ed. sometimes bare. like his legs, and
his feet are shod in the usual yellow
leather babouche or heelless slipper
Of North Africa.
Up to the present, no real use has
been made of the captured machine
guns. The Riffian soldier is formi-
dable chiefly because of his hardi-
hood. his determination and his ex-
cellent craftsmanship.
