ICEBERGS I HAVE RUN INTO
 1nIn

When l first met Adele she came up to me and fixed my tie, adjusting the ends with a gentle pat.
 The first night l called on her she sat next to me and put her hand on my knee every time she spoke with emphasis. As 1 left her that night she fixed the part in my hair With in a week she was running her fingers through the self-same hair, because the wind blew it about so. She would always find that the back of my coat collar was aWry, and would stand in front of me and put her arms about my neck in order to fix it.
 In the winter time she would put her hands in my pockets In order to keep them warm. If We were driv- ing she would snuggle close up against my warm coat.
 l stood this about a year. Then one night l kissed her. She slapped my face.
 But I owe her a lot, for I have always had the ambition to be a baseball pitcher, and she taught me control!

 Q. Who was the Cladius men toned in Acts 11:28 in the Bible? ?
 A. He was the fourth emperor of Rome from 4. D. Al to 54 He is also the one referred to in Acts 18:2 as having expelled the Jews from Rome.

 Q. Can a horse run faster than q camel?

The Arabians breed racing camels that are very swift travellers. and can 20 100 miles a day across the desert. The ordinary pack camel, however. goes about two and one-half miles an hour when loaded. Travelling in sand for a short distance of q mile or more a racing camel could beat a horse, but for a short distance, even in the desert, the horse would win in race on account of being able to get away and pick up speed more quickly.
 c. When did Great Britain abol- ish slavery in her West Indian colo nies and in India?
 A. Great Britain abolished slav. cry by providing by law in 1888 fol future and progressive emancipation in her West Indian colonies and compensating shareholders by pur. | chase and an apprenticeship subse. ouently limited to 1889. In 1S45 she abolished slavery in India.

 Q. Is Ireland geographically ; part of Great Britain?
 A. Great Britain constitutes Eng land, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and officially it is known as tn United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It is a question tha geographers have not settled ye whether Ireland, or rather that par of Ireland comprising the Irish Ere State, now that it is q dominion o the British Empire. can properly b regarded as part Of Great Britain.

forring 10 the theory of evolution in a rather sympathetic manner In violation of orthodox and literal in- terpr,tatlon of Genesis,
 The trial was what the modern reporters would call Hong and hit- terly fought" and in the end the professor was found guilty His nephew studying at tho Baltimore institution, was indignant, Tho trial took place in 1884 and the newspapers of the day were full of it'-at least, as full Of 1t as space in that day permitted. The follow ing year pr. Woodrow was told by the Presbyterian synods controlling the theological seminary that they refused 10 sustain the verdict and he could continue teaching; but there were Bryans at that time, and the case was rcopvncd the following year, when Dr. Woodrow's connec- ton with the seminary ceased. But le brcamc president of the State College and taught all the evolution h. wanted, continuing to serve un- til lS07 Dr. Woodrow was one of the most learned men in the South since the Civil War and even the most ardent anti-evolutionists of that section respected him as a dis tuEuished fayorito son.
 Attempts 10 prevent scientific opinion from gaining hcadway were generally unsuccessful in this coun- try, so far as the college and uni yersItles were concerned, from that time until within recent memory, when the Bryan propaganda began to take fruit. Dr. John W. Draper, scientist and teacher in New York University, published his famous book, History of the Conflict Be- tween Religion and Science" in 1874, and this in spite of the fact that he was teaching in what com- mcntators called a Presbyterian at moaphcre." In spite of attacks by . theological fundamentalists' he held his ground, Then came pr. Andrew D. White, president of Cor nell University, who devoted many years 10 a collection of all data on 1 the same subject Dr. Draper wrote about and in 1896 published his monumental work entitled "A His tory of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom." From that time on it was thought that science had gained its full liberty to investigate, promulgate and teach it's findings; but 1925 has rolled around and two states-Tcnnessee and Olahoma-have anti-eVolution laws and a similar law failed of rlssage in the Kentucky senate by one vote. Similar laws, it is stated, are being agtatod in l5 other states

passed him; like Chauncey M, De- pew he stands for distinctive per sonality In the public mind
 Years ago 1t was rumored that the elder John D. was in compara- tiN ely poor health, that he could not eat hearty meals, and that his diet. in fact, was more of milk and water" variety. The common verbal thrust was that he probably would be willing to give all his money to someone who could provide him with first rate interior workings. But here he is, SC years of age and still going strong-an indication that careful living, outdoor exercise and careful dieting are of greater i'm portance than strong physique that often stimulates it's owner to violate all the rules of health,
 It is common 10 wait until a man is dead before saying kind words about him; in the case of the elder Rockefeller the porcess has long ago been reversed by innumerable com mcntators. Regardless of what ones views may be regarding the manner in which his fortune was accumu- lated in the early days of the oil business, when "every man for him self and the devil take the hind most" was the chief maxim of trade, one cannot help admiring the fine personal life of the old gentle man. May he live to be a century or more.
