World Enriched by
Genius in Poverty

Art? What have idle riches" done
for that? BY rights they should have
produced, they should have created,
but so far as output goes their con-
tribution has been disappointing. One
often hears the suggestion made that
young people of artistic promise
should be endowed to create. IF
only he had little more money, and
leisure what great things he would
dol" Would he? / believe, sordid as
it may seem, that the wolf at the door
has often been one of the most power
full incentives toward artistic creation,
OF course there are volcanic gifts
like those Of Shelley or Blake that
erupt spontaneously and irresistibly,
regardless of the consequences. But
many of the greatest artists have been
goaded on to creation by need. Shake

way after these) Walter Scott, Doctor
Johnson, Anthony Trollope. On the
whole, great artists have been not only
hard workers, but men who have had

Mystery of Sound Board

The sound board of a piano, al
though it is actually a thin sheet of
fir wood, is wonder not fully under
stood in its effects Most people know
that every note has a complete and
very elaborate set of vibrations which
give it its pitch and character, and all
these separate sets are reproduced in
the sound board quite independently.
Even in comparatively simple music
there are frequently thousands Of vi
brations going on in that piece of thin
brittle wood, which we can hear but
cannot see; and with all the crossing
and recrossing of the vibration lines
which must take place there is never
any confusion, and it is possible to Sc
lect any group of vibrations as the
one to which we can pay the most at
tention. Perhaps even still more won
derful is the fact that the piano maker
can make the board susceptible to diff
ferent kinds of vibration without
knowing how he does 1t.

Navajo Brave Flees
From Mother-in-LauU

The superstitions of the Navajos
are so many and so varied that life
FOR them would be a constant burden
f they observed them as carefully as
hey are supposed to. 1t is probable
hat the great American mother-in-law
myth, which represents all mothers
n-law as being very bad medicine.
had its origin in the beliefs of the
Navajos: for very terrible things are
supposed to happen to any Navajo
man who is so unfortunate as to meet
his mother-in-law face to face, writes
Kenneth L. Roberts, in the Saturday
Evening Post.
When the Navajos are pressed to
reveal the hideous calamities that
would befall them in the event of
meeting their mother-in-law, they
move uneasily from foot to foot and
evade the issue. 1t is horrible to talk
about, but it is obvious that meeting
a mother-in-law in Navajo circles is
the very apex Of tough luck.
A Navajo will go to any length to
avoid burying dead man. 1t is very
bad medicine to kill or skin a bear.
His superstition, however, has never
led him to consider as bad medicine
the stealing of fascinating little odds
and ends from the white man any
more than the white man in years
gone by considered that he was doing
any particular wrong when he sold
Navajo women and children into
slavery, stole Navajo land and killed
Navajo sheep.

numbers to be multiplied side by side.
Double the first one and take half of
the second, putting down an O II

remainder is one. The two numbers
thus obtained are set down under the

Early Polo Games

1t is long vista back to the his
toric day when, in 1871, two cavalry
teams played the first polo game on
English soil with billiard ball and
hockey sticks; to Prospect park,
Brooklyn, when the elder Bennett and
Foxhall Keene staged the first game
on, American soil in 1876. Yet these
two events have made polo truly in
ternational. The tactics of those early
players of the eighties have been pro-
foundly modified until the game has
now become a science, in which the
pony has gradually come to share the
honors with his rider.

Grapes Valuable Food

Eat grapes and fight anemia. Grapes
are particularly valuable in the health
diet because of the iron they contain,
which helps to build up the red corr
puscles of the blood There is no
need of a medical motive to persuade
us to eat this delicious fruit, but to
know that while we are eating grapes
we are building up our circulation is
surely not dispensing.
In addition to the iron the grape
contains other highly valuable min
erals, which it carries into grape juice
and other preparations to which this
abundant fruit so readily lends itself.

New Secretary of State
Is Son of the Farm
NEW SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT
COOLIDGE SPENT YOUTH IN
coRNFIELDS. OF INDIANA
BY Robert Fuller

When Everett Sanders reports as
private secretary to President Cool
ldge at the White House next Monday
morning, Feb. /, our nations affairs
will be in the hands of two former
farm boys.
President Coolidge from that bleak
New England farm near Plymouth
Notch, Vermont and his secretary,
Everett Sanders, from the waving
cornfields near Coalmont and Terre
Haute Indiana.
Both boyhoods were spent on the
farm in the hard work of sowing,
reaping and the many other hard
rounds of long days, from before sun
up It'll after shutdown. No doubt many
who read these lines now know the
farm day and the demands each new
dawn make. Perhaps they can gain
inspiration in knowing that Calvin
Coolidge and Everett Sanders know
from first hand contact all of these
Iabors, having struggled in youth with
The same exacting tasks.
The retirement Of G. Bascom Slemp
as Secretary to President Coolidge
and the selection of Everett Sanders
came as the result of Mr.. Slemp's re-
solve to get back to private business.
1t has been known for some time
that our first millionaire secretary to
a president was tired of his job since
things politically had failed to move
as he had hoped.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Slemp as
pired to place in the presidents
FAMILY as cabinet member. 1t was
thought that his ability to line up
Niouthern delegates for Coolidge
would be rewarded with a higher post
However, many things interfered with
that program. VIM. M. Butler beat
MIN out with the president as chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee. Then Harry New decided to
