RICH AND POOR

By GEORGE YAKIM-Akron Pioneer Group.
There's a whole lot of difference between the
rich and the poor boy. The rich boy gets whatever
he wants The poor boy has to work and even so he
won't get what he wants because he can save but
very little.
The rich boy or girl have all the pretty and good
clothngs They have candies, ice cream, toys
or tickets to a show anytime. Did you ever the
clothes and toys of the poor kids? The rich children
won't even look at them.
The rich children have all the good meals they
want. Big breakfast, big lunch, big supper. All the
tasty cookies and fruits. After a good supper they
go to bed. Nice and warm beds in nice and warm
rooms Of their own. And the poor children? Well
they do not eat too much They can't be too par
ticular either. Sometimes they quite hungry
when about to leave to the school or to go TO bed
As to the poor children's bed you know from ex-
perience that it is not very pleasant for chill
dren sleeping in the same bed with the rest of the
family in the same room which is not very warm
either wintertime, but hell summer nights.

Capitalists & Workers Children
By JOSEPHINE DARGIS.

The workers make living for the capitalists
But the capitalists pay attention to the workers
Once saw the street nice limousine with
chauffeur. In the there was beautiful dog look
ing out of the window. Out the street was
forlorn boy with ragged clothes, shivering with
cold selling papers He looked at the limousine with
a sad face saying to himself, 81 wish had dogs
life"
What's the truth about the capitalists? Workers
make the millions for the capitalists. They give the
money for building churches, and pay thousands of
dollars to see boxing. Compare the workers chill
dren to the rich. The workers child has for lunch
only hard bread and butter The rich have all kinds
of dainties. Do they give the poor children any
thing? NO! When the poor children grow up they
again make millions for those capitalists.

THE LITTLE GREY DOG
(Continued)

Today travelling was more difficult than it had
been yesterday for Benjamins feet were blistered,
he groaned and complained at every step. The dog
comforted him, encouraged him, let him ride on his
back little while tho the boy was too heavy and
after few minutes the dogs bones would crack
and he would lie down. Deep sorrow tormented the
dog surely the servants of the rich man were some
where in the ne;ghborhood, determined not to re-
turn home without the boy. And even if they were
not found, how fan was it to the north? How would
they get there if Benjamin was already too tired
to go further?
Toward midnight they suddenly saw a fire burn
ing on the meadow. People must be there. The dog
dragged the boy into some thick bushes, told him
to keep still, crept softly toward the fire. pot
hung over the fire, and blond sat before it.
Close by stood wagon with large wheels, to which
brown horse was harnessed. The dog looked at
the man very searchingy. He looked different from
the people at home, had very light skin, kind blue
eyes; surely he was northerner. But was he
good man? Then the dog remembered that only
good people understand the language of animals,
and the dog decided to tell him the story of little
Benjamin. Carefully he came closer to the fire and
said softly, Good evening, man. Are you a north
erner?S

Bank Vaulfs Flooded
to Oufuif BURGLARS

Remarkable and elaborate defenses
are included in the rebuilding Of the
Bank of England. 1t is possible, in case
Of invasion or other emergency, to flood
the vaults from three points-one In
the bank, one elsewhere in London,
and one ten miles out Of London.
The walls are constructed of rein
forced concrete blocks, six feet long
by two feet wide by two feet thick.
The reinforcement is made from old
steel-wire ships cables. which are sep
arated into single strands.
These steel wires are interlaced in.
to panels six feet by two feet, and
placed in the mold, one on top Of the
other, until the mold Is full Of steel
wire mating. Liquid concrete is then
poured in the mold, and the whole is
shaken to work the concrete into ev-
cry crack and corner.
ALI these concrete blocks have
keys" at each end to interlock them
when In position. There are also
semicircular grooves at the ends Of the
blocks. Two blocks together form a
circular groove up and down which
pass electric wires. Any attempt to
displace a block breaks these wires
and an alarm is Immediately sounded.

One Form of Salute
That Franklin Liked

1T was charming to see the en-
braces Of Scion and Sophocles," wrote
John Adams, present when Benjamin
Franklin and Voltaire were introduced
to each other at the French Academy
Of Sciences. After they were intro
duced they bowed and spoke, but there
was no satisfaction among the audi.
ence; it expected something more,
Adams wrote. Neither of the philos-
ophers seemed to divine what was
wished or expected, but they took each
other by the hand awkwardly and
stood there. But this was not enough:
the clamor continued until the ex-
PLANTATION came out-they were ex-
pected to embrace after the French
fashion. The two thereupon embraced
each other and kissed each others
cheeks and then the tumult subsidized.
Franklin, however, once said that the
only really enjoyable fete rendered
him by the French was the one where,
as the apostle of liberty, he was hon.
ored by having the most beautiful of
3OO women designated to place a
wreath on his head and to give him
two kisses.-Kansas City Times.

Aviators Story Old
70 Enoch and Elijah

An aviator who had broken the
worlds altitude record, but who had
lost his life in the attempt, was sit
ting on a celestial corner telling a
wide-eyed circle Of friends of his ex-
plot. He described at length the
thrills and the crash which had
brought about the end. A wing had
broken, and he had gone jerkily down
through space, webbing like the
bonneville trolley, and had landed
with fatal crash in a city street. His
words held his hearers spellbound, for
1t is not given every man to die an
adventurous death, and as he talked
on passersby stopped to join the crowd
which had gathered around him. Final
ly the talker noticed two old men with
long, flowing boards moseying slowly
up the street. They stopped to learn
what the excitement was, shrugged
their shoulders, smiled amusedly, and
passed on.
"Who are these two old birds"
asked the aviator, somewhat cha.
grined.
"Why," replied a bystander," don't
you know them? That's Enoch and
Elijah."-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Rockets Travel Far

Many different types of rockets are
made. The distance to which they
will range and the height to which
they will ascend depend upon the
type. An ordinary sky-rocket, such
as used on the Fourth of July, will
probably not ascend more than 500
feet If fired from a vertical position,
and will probably not range farther
than 1000 yards if held elevated at an
angle Of 80 degrees. The highest de-
veloped rocket is probably the tracer
shell used in artillery. In this the
projectile carries a supply Of illumi-
mating tracer composition in its base,
and the tracer shell has nearly the
range of the ordinary projectile, in
some types upward of 10000 yards.

Old Sport Is Fishing

Who discovered fishing? The an
swer to that particular query is lost
in the mists of prehistoric times. The
technique in ancient days varied lit
tie, it seems, from that of today. On
the walls of Egyptian tombs have
been discovered crude drawings of
fishing scenes, proving that even in
the days Of the pharaohs fishing was
not only an occupation but also a
sport. The Egyptians of the lower
classes are shown employing the hook
and line to land their catch, while
sportsmen Of the Nile preferred the
spear or trident.

Where Man Is Vain

Among the Kavirondo negroes of
Central Africa a man wears as many
coils of iron as his arms and legs will
hold, and keeps them brightly burn
ished with oil or fat.
Metal is so fascinating to the men of
this tribe that telegraph wires are
sometimes torn down to be made into
armlets or anklets, or to be twisted In
imitation, Of European travellers.
On festive occasions the numerous
coils of iron are specially polished for
the occasion. Then the Kavirondo
man adds a string of empty cartridges,
a piece of chain mail, anklets Of bells,
and any odd scraps of metal he can
find.

System Failed

The mother looked weary. "Trying

down the law that every member of
the family was to be efficient. They
were to look after all their own per-
sonal matters.
IF fathers suit needed pressing he
was to take it to the tailor's himself
and he was to tramp to the laundry
with his collars. Son was to put his
own buttons on his shirts and keen
his chiffonier in order. Daughter was
to wash her own silk stockings, take
her own shoes to the cobbler's.
And so on, each member Of the
family was to do for himself. And
why am so weary? Because they all
flunked it after the first day or two,
and now am putting in hurried hours
trying to catch up with the things
they left undone."-Springfield Union.
