GOOD FRIEND TO
ALL, is PATIENCE
Writer Asks Why Impetuous
Youth "Musf" Be Served.

1t would be useful If more persons
understood earlier in life what very
good virtue and very good friend pa
thence is. Without it men could have
added hardly anything of Importance
to their stock of knowledge.
Darwin had his chief ideas on evolu-
ton when he was thirty. but waited
20 years-spent in the most laborious
inyestigation-befo he wrote any.
thing about it. Other men had much
the same ideas, but it was Darw:n'S
20 years of tireless dig ging for facts
that put his ideas over. Copernicus
at forty was certain the earth went
round the sun, instead of the sun GO
ing round the earth, as astronomy had
it up to his time, but he was sixty
seven when he published the treatise
that proved it.
To read even a nontechnical sketch
of Pasteur's experiments makes ones
head ache. One might fill pages with
such examples. Innumerable fiints
must have been broken, and knuckles
skinned, before men found out how to
shape symmetrical arrowhead. Pa

Most of the worlds popular litera-

have usually been in an unholy con-
spiracy to praise youths vice of i'm

that. The romancers suggest that pa

Aucassin fixed the type Of the popu-
lar lover. He won't work, he won't
fight, he won't talk, he won't eat; he
went do anything but below for Nico-
lette; he must have her right now; the
mere suggestion of patience gives him
fits.
Probably he will always be the most
fetching figure in a novel or poem, or
on the stage. When he is safely iso-
lated in print, or across the footlights,
everybody signs for him. But who
wants to live with him? In the real
world what is he but a bad-tempered
brat in candy shop, believing to
have his fill right now?

thorgh it were very laudable of youth
to insist on being served regardless

Of young persons take the poetry serl-
ously and live up to the theory that
they must have whatever they want

Locked-Up Old History

The imminent room at Westmin,
ster abbey contains collection of
historical documents that probably
has no counterpart the world over.
Closely guarded in locked, iron-bound
chests, the papers kept there number

back to the Eighth century.
These documents are now being

TREES AND FLOODS

The Mississippi river is giving the
American people Forest Month"
lesson they must learn sooner or
later. There is close relation be-
tween forests and floods.
Forests are necessary at the head
waters of streams. The trees break
the force of the raindrops, and the
forest floor, acting as large sponge,
absorbs rainfall and prevents runof
and floods. Unless there are forests
at the sources of streams and rivers,
floods occur. The spring uprisings
of the Mississippi, Ohio ad Missouri
Rivers are due. largely to the lack of
forests at their headwaters. In the
regions drained by these streams the
run off water is not absorbed as it
should be.
The flood is terrible Forest
Week" lesson is the view of Chas. L..
Pack, president of the American
Tree Association. Pack, who has
just given the schools OF America a
million and half forestry primers
in an endeavor to arouse the coming
generation to the Importance OF re-
forestration, says we must plant
snowtholding and rain-retarding
trees at the headwaters four riv-
ers and streams, as result OF this
terrible lesson.
Watch the snow or rain hold long
er under the trees in your own back
yard and you get the idea, Pack
says. He has been talking and writ
ing tree planting for quarter of a
century. He was 70 on May Z, and
says he will keep on talking trees
as long as he lives. Then the Pack
Forestry Trust will keep up his
work. In view of what the Mississ-
ippi River is doing, somebody should
keep talking forestry all the time.
