Their Death Not in Vain

Probably the most disastrous Arctic
expedition in history was that Of Sir
John Franklin of the British navy.
OF the 129 confident and courageous
explorers who sailed with him from
England In the summer Of 1916, not
one returned. Yet this attempt to dis
cover a route to the Pacific cannot
be branded as a failure. for while the
adventures who set forth so hope
fully in the Erebus and Terror
persisted wretchedly few years
later, disaster and death did not over
take them until they had achieved the
main object of their voyage-the dis
covery Of channel of communication
from Baffin bay to Boring strait. Thus
did Franklin's volunteers realize the
centuries-old dream of European
navigators-the finding of north
west passage. They We're conquer
ors, even in death.-Dearborn indie

FetO Women Without
Hunger for Ron

Women crave the ideal IN seeking
mate But to a woman In love The
rOseate halo which she herself placed
about the head Of the ad0red ole may
make the most commonplace man
seem a very Parsifal before marriage.
And even with a quickening sense of
the mistake she has made the woman
seeks to Justify her own belief In her
ideal
That, in reality, is at the bottom Of
most Of the nagglng In marriage. The
woman hopes that somewhere In the
man are those glowing qualities she
believes exist, though they may be
latent
with repeated failure to arouse
them, she grows restless, impatient; Is
dlscouraged-not with mankind, but
with her man. She is still seeking;
still believes. For time she may be
able to see In some other man the
qualities she desires. But once she
has entered into a new relationship,
how often does her disillusion repeat
itself!
The sort Of hero worship one sees
at the crowded matinees Of favorite
artists-actors, violinists pianists-is
to be explained, not only by the love
of the arts, but often by the fact that
women who flock to these perform
ances are hungry for romance.-Jane
Cowl In Liberty.

Cremona Old City Of
Loneliness and Music

Lombardy, where the silver poplars
grow and music is In the air :.
and the yellow sunlight falls upon you
in Lombardy, tabled and sung BY a
thousand praising tongues = there
brooded and hummed, worked and
dreamed, a busy thriving town four
centuries ago-the town Of violins. Its
name was Cremona, and the heart Of
music was the heart Of the world to
the men who worked there. 1.
On one side was the River Oglio, on
another the AIDA on the south the Pc
swept by, blue-purple under the warm

where the Adriatic waited for It. On
the other side Of the Pc we're Parma

away; one could cross over By a
bridge II one liked.
1t was very old, this town Of violins,
and its name from the Greek,
meant Alone upon rock"
A very pretty, happy italian city 1t
was, with . golden light splashed
upon roof and street, the b. music
of children's voices. and magical
southern skies altering through =.

center Of violin making, the town Of

Hard Working NoUelist

Undoubtedly the Understanding
woman author In history was Arma-
dine Lucille Aurore, the French novel
list, better known by her pen name,
George Sand. She was born in Paris
June 8, 1904. and is credited with be-
ing one Of the first writer's to demand
liberty for women in all things.
Though her novels enjoyed wide pop
ularlty during her lifetime, and were
translated even into Russian, they are
now somewhat old-fashloned, and not
much read, says the London ChrOn-
icle. She wrote daily from 10 p. m.
to ii. m, and II she finished a novel
quarter of an hour before the APP
pointed time had elapsed, she at once
set to work upon another.

Road Signs Old Idea

Road signs date back to the early
history of the world. Many monu-
ments have been unearthed by
archaeological expeditions in Crete,
Asia Minor and the Greek Pelopon-
nesus which show that the directional
signs were in use even In the time Of
the legendary heroes of the Hellenic
world. In the Roman forum is still
preserved the golden milestone" a
pillar which was erected by Augustus,
on which were carved the names OF
roads together with distances from
Rome.
