So the man FASTENED onward
as he was told. But the heart or
his wife yearned back to the city
she had left. For she loved the
home which she had built with
the service of her hands. There
were the rugs which she had
woven patiently from their own
fIocks. There were the dishes
Lot had bought her as bride.
There were the goodly strings of
meat and peppers drying in the
sun, the jars of oil and lentils,
the flowers she had planted by
the little pool within the court.
There lay the treasure OF years
of life and shortly it would van

ago when( she and Richard left
the train and for the first time
she saw the plains on every side.
She had never been out of New
England before. All her life
she's known the peaceful. com
pact towns, hedged around with
elms and naples in a living wall.
Even in winter the pine woods
had stood so near they seemed
a snug, green curtain, shutting
out the world. And then she saw
the wonder. of embarrassed space
with not a shrub to check its
mighty sweep. She saw the night
come rushing like a mounting
tide, with no small small noise of
pickering amongst the birds nor
rustling of the leaves before they
slept. And that first night she
was all GREATNESS with delight.
But now, for five long years,
she's strained her heart for home.
The farm has prospered, the
babies are both well. and Fred
is growing richer every year and
happier. But she keeps yearning
back--longing for narrow. shaded
streets, prim lawns and snug
horizons. She takes no JOY In

set on going home.

Happiness

Happiness, as / have encount.
cred it in this world, consists
chiefly in getting no more than
one wants and wanting no more
than one can get. There Is an
obvious corollary: unhappiness
consists (a) in wanting something
that one can't get, or Cb) in get
ting something that one doesn't
want. The second form of this
unhappiness Is probably the
more distressing. The man who
goes to a party, drinks too much
gin, and. on reaching his office
the next day, finds a note in
dicating that he is engaged to
a girl with beer-keg ankles-this
man is obviously far more I'M
happy than the fellow who,
mistaking a transient inebriety
for love, offers himself and is
rejected. The latter. of course,
may suffer. His vanity has been
affronted; even his dignity Is
compromised. But he has not
suffered any serious and per-
manent damage. He can recover.
So all through life. The thought
that I haven't a million dollars
seldom makes me unhappy,
though I could use the money
judiciously. But II / were in
formed tomorrow that I had
become a grandfather or been
awarded the Pulitzer Prize I'd be
very much distressed, and my
distress would continue, at least
in retrospect, all the rest of my
life. HI. L. Mencken In The

Scientific Topics OF Popular

Interest
EVERYTHING is periodic. Life
~ Is the crest Of the wave and
death the trough. Or life Is the
top of the swing OF the pen
dulum and death the bottom.
From dust thou CONTEST and into
dust returnest. Energy accumu-
lated on the descent supports the
ascent. Science questions it's own
discovery, that life develops only
from preceding life; but upon
seeking to start the swing from
the bottom, science finds that 1t
lacks original creative force.
Full of this lesson. we may
place considerable credit in Pro-
lessor John Joly's theory of the
earth star during one of whose
phases of extinction we exist on
the cooled surface Of this globe.
Nothing more remarkable has
come out of the discovery Of that
most wonderful of substances
radium. Radium and its related
elements, all sprung from the
parent uranium, exist in measur-
able quantity in the rocks Of the
earth's crust; and II in the crust,
then no doubt throughout the
whole interior.
In the process OF automatic dis
integra ton the radio elements
give off heat, which raises the
temperature of their surroundings.
Consequently, without regard to
other sources of energy, the earth
must accumulate heat. Now,
careful experiments have shown
that from the interior of the globe,
below the moderate depth to
which the effects Of solar radia-
ton penetrate, heat continually
Iemerges by conduction. This

On Wednesday afternoon, the stu.

On Wednesday afternoon, the stu dents of the State Normal school held their field day. The competi- ton between the four, senior and junior divisions was conducted in group contest manner.
 The program included drill and marching, two dances. and field and track athletic events. The division scoring the greatest number of points was Junior II with Senior I as close second. However an average of the scores of the senior divisions was higher than an. aver age of the scores of the junior di- visions so the seniors were given the laureis of the day.
 The students entertained the audi ence by several school songs and impromptu stunts, and finished their field day with short demonstration games of indoor baseball rolley ball and soccer football.
 At the close of the events the president of the athletic association presented several sport letters, class numerals, and school insignia as well as one leather pillow in recognition of marked effort to keep rules Of healthy living and clean sportsman, ship.

THE LONE JUROR AND
 i RuMOR

The New Haven Union inter viewed three of the jurors in the Macri case in an effort to discover why Irving Andrews of Orange held out for conviction, After the aston ishing total of commendation Mir. Andrews received for holding out against aequtting the girl. the re- suit of the interviews leaves one with considerable doubt as to whether the lone juror was entitled to all the acclaim for his stand that he got from sundry newspapers.
 From the first" one of the jurors was quoted, it was evident that Mir. Andrews had something on his mind, not brought out In the evidence. He kept saying, If you knew what know and finally told us of a rumor." The rumor. 1t was quoted. had to do with the possi- bility of the Macri girl again be- coming a mother,
 Mir. Andrews admitted he had heard such a rumor but denied he had discussed 1t in the jury room, His denial will have to be accepted for what 1t is worth, but If 1t should be true he permitted a rumor to weigh in with the evidence he was a weak juror instead of a strong one. Only the evidence Is entitled to con- sideration in any court case, and outside rumors should be non-ex- istent. This, of course. is easy to say; the facts are that prejudices often exert much influence in jury rooms, a fact that all lawyers will admit. A mans prejudices usually are deep-rooted and operate in his subconscious mind to color his con- captions and taint his actions. It is a human trait that the jury sys- tenn can not entirely eliminate from itself.

As an aviator Senator Bingham flies high and often. His trip from Washington to Connecticut yester- day was a case in point. Stories still appear in the newspapers detailing what happens to airmen when their machines drop 10 the ground, and only the other day such a story in- eidentally mentioned that two army niers were killed in such an acci- dent. But nothing like this can de- fer the senator. He has had plenty of experience in Europe with the air forces. is a staunch believer in the efficacy and efficiency of actual cloud scraping, and should be the first senator in the country to fly to Washington from his home state te attend sessions of the upper body. sone senators get famous by mak- inr sizzling remarks in the Senate; there should be no reason why one e, them should not attract national attention by making a practice Of flying between his home state and the capital at least several times a week,
