When Edward Everett was raising

startled the literary world by buying
eight pages Of advertising in the New

of the New York Ledger was de-
stroyed BY fire he inserted in the daily
papers Of New York. Philadelphia and
Boston the following advertisement:

Sacrifice EUer Part
of Worlds Progress

Progress is the result Of experiment
and sacrifice. and all submarine and
air disasters are courageous efforts to
overcome the obstacles which hinder
scientific development. explains an ed
tOrial In Liberty.
IF q disaster is big enough It anes-
thetizes the mind,' continues the edi-
torial. "We understand one death bet.
ter than six, or six hundred. So, when
a dirigible falls. transatlantic flyer
is lost, or a. submarine Is wrecked,
there comes the protest that all this
must be stopped.
1--WE venture another point Of view.
When these pioneers are killed, much
as we regret their death, we are proud
that such men have lived. Without
their courage progress would stop, for
progress Is nearly always dangerous.

Early Friction Match
or Primitive Design,

The Portable Fire Box as 1t was
called, was one of the earliest forms
OF instantaneous lights" and was in
vented in Italy in 1886. Similar to it
was the "Promethean Match" patent
ed by Samuel Jones, an Englishman,
In 1928. A minute quantity of sulphur
ic acid sealed ina tiny glass vesicle,
surrounded by compound of chlorate
of potash, was inclosed in a paper
spin. When the glass vesicle was
broken, either by the hammer sup
piled with the match" or with the
teeth, the acid infiamed the potash and
ignited the paper.
Despite the many claimants, the
honor of inventing the first real 'fric-
tion match" of the kind with which
we are familiar today belongs to John
Walker. a Stockton-on-Tess chemist.
In 1926 he was selling his friction
lights for a shilling for a hundred
and twopence for the box. The match
was pressed between the fingers In a
piece Of sandpaper.

Statue Of Freedom"
on National Capitol

The bronze statue surrounding the
dome Of the national capitol at Wash
ingtoB is the figure of a woman and
symbolizes liberty. This statue is oft
en- enormously supposed to represent
an American Indian. owing to the fact
that from distance the helmet Of the
figure resembles the bonnet Of an In
dian war chief In fact the eagles
head and the arrangement of the
feathers on the helmet were suggested
by costumes of certain Indian tribes.
The~ figure, which weighs 14,985
pounds and is 1914 feet high, was mod
eled at Rome, Italy, by Thomas Craw-
ford in 1855, from plans adopted in
1850 by Senator Jefferson Davis of
Mississippi, who was then chairman
of committee on public buildings.
Crawford named the statue EARNED
Liberty but ever since it arrived at
the capital It has been officially known
.tse the Statue of Freedom" The
statue was set in place on the dome
of the capitol, December 2, 1863, AMI
stands on globe bearing our ma
tional motto-"E Pluribus Unum."

Talent Wasted

Dorothea McNagle wanted TO get In
to the movies. She wasn't exactly
stage struck but she wanted
to get into the movies. She was a
pretty girl and reasonably talented.
and her parents didn't have any real
" serious objections so Dorothea set
forth to get into the movies.
AS you can imagine, 1t wasn't an
easy job There were lots and lots of
girls who wanted to get into the NOV
les as badly as she did, and some of
them were even prettier than she was
LAT least, 1t seemed so to Dorothea.
But she waited and waited, and
smiled here, and dimpled there. and
blushed n little. and waited a lot more
and finally Dorothea did get into
The movies.
And then horrid old usher made
her stand up inside the tape!

Life in Middle Ages
Miserable for Most

The average expectation Of life
today 58-was probably between 25
and 80 in the Middle ages. We have
no idea today what a vast luxury then
was bit of food, fire and drink, shell
ter and bed, even such poor things
as they were. The pathetic masses Of
humans were so indescribably miser-
able that we have almost no perspec-
tive on them today. Picture them, liv-
ing in low thatched huts without ven
tilation, the earth for a floor. When
this floor got too filthy new layer
Of PUSHES was laid down on the top Of
the old filth, until the layers Of twenty
years festered there, alive with YER
min, foul with refuse. Those who
could afford 1t wore leather clothes;
the lower masses wrapped themselves
with straw. For food they ate peas,
black bread, fern roots and the bark
Of trees. Only one-half Of them ever
tasted fresh meat. and the other half
ate meat only once q week. A hole
in the roof drained or some Of the
smoke. The house servants miser-
able creatures, earning 80 shillings
