need to put more effort into translating
art into the daily life of the people. II
we could surround ourselves with forms
of beauty, the evil things of life would
tend to disappear and our moral stand
ards would be raised. Through our
contact with the beautiful we see more
OF the truth and are brought into
closer harmony with the infinite.
Our country has reached a position
where this Is no longer visionary de-
sire, but Is becoming an actual reality.
With general prosperity. with high
wages, with reasonable hours of labor,
has come both the means and the time
to cultivate the artistic spirit. Philan-
thropy has given the people access to
all that is most beautiful In form and
color. It is theirs without money and
without price II they will but go and
possess it. Out of our agriculture. our
commerce and our industry we can al
ready see emerging a new spirit. The
potential Is becoming actual. Through
science and invention. gradually but
surely, we are banishing the drudgery
of existence and bringing into every
avenue of living touch of the artistic.
We are working out the ideal under
which every one will realize that they
are artists, in their employment, i
their recreation and in their relations
one with another. 1t Is to this high
calling that the members of your asso-
Citations have dedicated themselves The
service which they are rendering is of
inestimable value for the advancement
of an enlightened civilization"

THE AIR MAIL

use the air mail for such notes as
friends may like to read; I don't be-
grudge the extra greats, to get increase
of speed. If I am sending to my niece
letter with such news as will in
crease her joy and peace, the air mail
will use. For good news cannot go
too fast, I always do maintain; so let
the airships cleave the blast and split
the clouds in twain. Oh, let their busy
motors pant as through the air they
trek, when I am writing to my aunt
and sending her a check. Yea, let the
airships Craze the moon and teeter down
the wind; she cannot set her mail too
soon when it's the joyous kind. But
when I send message dour, that's
bound to cause some pain, ITO hit up
seven miles an hour is plenty main
tain. The message bearing tidings
tough, that's freighted down with woes
will reach its victim soon enough. how
ever slow it goes. But people use the
air mails speed to make me sad and
blue, to send me things hate to read,
concerning bills long due. And If lose
some hard earned cash, through stocks,
and have to pay, the news comes to
me like flash from brokers far away.
But if my stocks should haply rise in
any small degree, no busy airships skim
the skies to bring the news to me. So
far the pleasant letters come as brought
to me by snails: but when the news is
on the bum the greatest haste prevails.
Now reverse this sort of thing; I use
the air mail route for news that makes
men smile and sing, and in their glad
ness shout. But when the news will
give some pain to any human jay, 1

I wouldn't like it.
But Jerry wasn't very much worried.
This wasn't the time of year for floods.
If it should stop raining, the water
would soon go down. Jerry knew TINS.
So he sat on top of his house and
watched. Little by little, little by little,
slowly but steadily, the water crept

entirely covered by water. There was
no use in sitting there any longer.
Jerry pushed off and began to swim. He
