charged man is not the wise leader
THE FOLLY.

L
Joshua and Caleb protested in vain.
To no avail was their torn garments
and assuring words. The minority
came near being stilled by stones as
it has often been. The majority ruled,
there was utter rejection of all the
plans of God, of Moses and of these
two determined souls. Then Moses
pronounced judgment. They were not
to go up and most accept the doom OF
their refusal to enter. Their children
would be ready, but they were too
craven. Again they proved the ina
bility of passion to reason. They
would go up. The camp divided and
a part of them advanced with neither
the brains of Moses nor the leadership
of Joshua. They were impregnated by
the pessimism of the camp in spite
of their bravado and at the first on
slaught of the hill men they turned
and ran. Let passion rule and folly
troops after.
But there was no dlmmlng the VS.
ion of Moses. He understood that
these men were impossible colonists.
They had had too much examining and
even under the teaching of such a man
as he they funked their first examin-
alton and were sent back to lower
grade. The great, old man took on
new class and joined the ranks of the
thoroughly modern builders of civil
cations in beginning with the children.
Into their plastic mind he would press
the face of God and charge them with
his own unquenchable faith. And we
are just beginning to realize how wise
the making of new world.

Boys Wear

Saturday at K. o. Clark's cottage at Hotchkiss Grove, Indian Neck, was the greatest event of it's kind ever held by residents of that village, there being approximately 250 pres ent at the affair. There were 3S cars 10 handle the crowd, three small trucks included. Each car bore banner inscribed East Berlin Com munity Club.' Last years number Of lS7 was considered a record | breaker and there did not seem to be any indication this year that l there would be as large a turnout, but the day was superb in every re- spect and it seemed as if at the last i moment the entire town was ready to make the trip.
 There was nothing to mar the trip, every car making the journey to and from without mishap. Both the young and the old enjoyed the bathing and the suns rays were tempered by a slight haze which hung on all day, eliminating sun burn which last year was so prevalent. The picking of Miss East Berlin" proved to be too great 1 problem and inasmuch as the great i CT part of the afternoon was engag- 1 ed in running and swimming, the | judges of the contest were relieved of the ordeal of making the selec- | ton. QuoitS claimed considera ble at tention from the men folk and i former Representative Claude w. Stevens of Kensington took all hon. ors in this sport.
 | The races held in the afternoon were closely contested and it was difficult to pick the winners, one of the events being dead heat. In sev- eral other events the first and sec ond places were won by matter of inches. The girls 5O-yard dash was won by Ruth Bourgeois, with Ger trude Porter a close second. The boys sprint was won by Jack Walsh, with Everett Payne, a few inches behind, capturing second place. The mems sprint was won by Wilhelm ! Johnson, with Charles Cudahy B split-second behind. The swimming race for men was captured by Wal ter H. Payne, Charles Cudahy talk ing second prize. In the ladies' swimming race Mrs. Charles Fiske captured first place, with Mrs. Yer non Read a few inches behind. In the women's sprint, Mrs. ". H . Payne and Mrs. George Demore ran a dead heat, Mrs. Payne winning on the toss up. The girls swimming race was won by the Dalby sisters, it being almost q dead heat.
 All those at the shore had the op- portunity of a motor boat ride about the islands which are numerous at that part of Long Island Sound. In all there were ten boat loads, ap- proXinlately 25 persons being carried on each trip. There were plenty of "eats' and more to drink, about S5 gallons of punch being consumed. The entire day and it's pleasures will long be remembered and it is doubt
 ful if it can ever be surpassed in the
 future activities of the association.

That the ancients made iron Of a
better quality than can be produced
today was the interesting statement
made at Il meeting Of the Iron and
Steel Institute lately held In London.
The examples under discussion were
some ancient iron specimens found at
the Roman excavations at Richbor-
ou2h and Folkestone and piece Of
iron 1900 years old from the famous
Pillar of Delhi
The latter piece has been subjected
10 elaborate tests in the founcries of
Sir Robert IIadfield. who told the In
stitute that It could not be equaled by
modern makers and that in his opin-
ion some Of the secrets Of metallurgy
have been lost.
The most remarkable thing about
the iron from the Roman period was
It's great resistance to rust as COM
pared with modern iron, although
badly corroded specimens OF Roma
iron have been found in the New
