The nations of the world were electrified a few days ago by
one of the most daring and heroic feats in the annals Of maritime
freighter AntinOe, with a cargo of wheat, became disabled and
sent out an S. @. S. The President Roosevelt responded and for
three and One-half days stood by the sinking Antinoe until
finally the entire crew was taken off, although two Of the RoOse-
velts crew were lost in the perious work. The king Of England
sent President Coolidge a message Of thanks and congratulations
for the heroic work of Captain Fried and his crew, and later Con-
gTess gave them a vote Of thanks.
It is a matter of pride and satisfaction to every dealer IN, and
user Of Texaco products to know that the President Roosevelt is
fabricated throughout with TexacO lubricants. An through the
trying rescue period, her engines were running to keep her head
on IN the raging storm. The same high quality is TO be found ID
every Texaco product, and the quality necessary to stand such

it be Pierce-Arrow or Ford. Texaco motor products are sold il

The Lenten season opened this week, with the result that many

the action will be that Of work rather than OF play. Inc great
theme of many gatherings, during the coming few days, viii be
George Washington and his comrades in historical service. he
Is not vet too far away for appreciation by the American people.
Within the torrents onward whirl, there lies
A massive rock of granite, gray and old.
Serene above the water, round it rolled,
How firm and free it's rugged outlines rise!
But though aI-crumbling time, its strength detiess
A tender growth of moss makes soft the bold
Rough sides; and dainty flowers find timid hold
On that high part most near the sunny skies.
And thus endures our WashngtOns high fame,
In bold relief above the petty human stream;
So grand, that years can not efface his name;
And yet so true, our nations love supreme
Cings round his life; and youths aspIEqg aim
Seeks foothCld, where his stars of glory CLEAN.

Some standard moral maxims of the
Japanese, as translated by Prof Basil
Hall Chamberlain from early Buddhist
writings, are as follows:
Though thou should heap up thou
sand pieces of gold they would not
be so precious as one day of study.
Thy father and thy mother are like
heaven and earth; thy teacher and
thy lord are like the sun and moon.
Human ears are listening at the
wall; speak no calumny. even in Sc
cret.
Human eyes look down from
heaven; commit no wrong, however
hidden.
From the evils sent by heaven there
is deliverance; from the evils we
bring upon ourselves there is no es-
cape.
The body with its passions is not
pure; ye should swiftly seek after
intelligence.
Less than all things men must
grudge money; it is by riches that
wisdom is hindered.
Among Japanese proverbs are the
following:
A cheap purchase is money lost.
Cows herd with cows, horses with
horses. (Birds Of a feather flock to-
gether.)
A mans heart and an autumn sky
fare like ficlxle). The opposite of the
French proverb: 'Varibale as a wo-
man."
Never trust woman, even if she
has borne you seven children.
TO lose is to win.
The drunkard bellies not his true
character. Tin vino veritas.)
The Monmouth inquirer. [volume] (Freehold, N.J.) 1865-1933, 1926-07-15

sorath Kumar Ghosh, Hindoo bar
rister, has been telling an English au-
dience that the cleyerness of Indian
'jugglers is explained to some extent
by the fact that they are trained
from early childhood. BY way of il
lustration he mentioned that child
OF four would be taught to hold a
small coin in his throat for a few
seconds. AS the years went by the
time and size of the coin would be
increased, until when he reached man
hood two good-sized cavities would be
formed on each side of his throat,
either one large enough to hold sew
eral coins.

japanese National Anthem.

The Russian national hymn is quite
q modern production, while the Japan
csc is. on the contrary, the oldest
existing, and, it may be, also the
shortest.
ut is known as "Kimigayo," and
when translated means some what as
follows: MAY the reign Of our sove-
reign endure for thousand years, and
Tor eight thousand more beyond that
until stones are not rocks any more,
NOR moss any longer grows thickly."
Although 1t is Of immense antiquity,
It has only been the .oficial national
anthem Of Japan since that country
Arst began to occidentalize itself. st.
