FIagpoIe Roasting

THREE girls and eighteen boys
l. are roosting on flag poles in
various parts of the city of Balti-
more.
Their, one object in life is to beat
the record of ten days and ten hours
recently set by Azzie Foreman.
Some of them occupy chairs, while
some are content to take their
medicine straight.
One lad of twelve passes the time
away by efiddling; while another
reads his Bible.
To give the performance dignity,
Mayor Broening congratulates these
young hopefuls on their grit and
stamina"
Grit and stamina are to be COM
mended, but like very other trait
of human nature, they need intel
ligent direction.

BATTLE OF TKERMoPYLE

BATTLE OF TKERMOPYLE
Aug. I
TWENTY FOUR HUNDRED
l. NINE years ago today, on
Aug. 7, 480 B. c., the battle Of
Thermopyle was fought in the
famous pass leading from Thes-
sally into LocriS.
When the Persian monarch,
Xerxes, approached Greece with an
immense army, King Leonidas I
and 300 Spartans went to occupy the
narrow pass of Thermopyle, which
lay between the sea and Mount
Callidromus.
For two days, the Greeks success
fully resisted the overwhelming
force of the Persians and frus-
trated every attempt to force the
pass.
At the end of the second days
conflict, ThesSalian named
EphialteS went to the Persian camp
and gave information of a secret
pass across the mountains the
Greeks had neglected to occupy.
At dawn the following day Leon
idas learned that the Persians were
pouring across the mountains to at
tack his army from the rear.
Then Leonidas gathered his 300
Spartans, together with their at
tendants, about him, and prepared
to defend his post. In the fierce
fight that enSued, Leonidas himself
soon fell, but the remaining Greeks
retreated TO hillock near the road
and made their last stand. They
fell, fighting to a man.
The pass Of Thermoyle, In en-
cient times, was only fifty feet wide,
but the alluyial deposits have al
tered the coast line so that there
Is now a broad swamp plain from q
mile and half to three miles
broad.

Crowded Prisons

A SURVEY by the New York
L n World shows that many state
and federal prisons are over
crowded, some of them containing
double the number they were de-
signed to accommodate.
A survey by Herbert L. Brown,
chief of the United States bureau of
efficiency, shows that conditions
would be far worse if about SO per
cent of the violators of the prohi-
biton law did not escape prison
terms.
Out of $1,000 persons convicted of
violating the federal prohibition law
in 1928, only 765 were sent to prison.

Health Magazine.

THERE are two kinds Of public
l. health work: The type of
prevention Of disease that is car
ried on by the community, and the
type of prevention of disease that
is carried on by the physician.
Many Of the greatest accomplish
ments of sanitary science are repre-
sented by the control of food, water
and sewage in relationship to the
diseases that are transmitted in this
way.
In recent survey of the sub
pect, DR.. C. E. A. Wipslow cites a
few examples of definite accom-
plishments in the public health
field. When a municipal water
filter was installed in Lawrence,
Mass, the typhoid death rate
changed from 121 to 100000 popu-
lation to Is to 100000 population,

A Swell Tap Dancer

manner in some of the other places
which Uncle Haywood frequents.
I don't know why, for instance,

points.

care to rave about, and my trick

always been good for a rousing
laugh.

that the deterioration Of the prize
ring set in simultaneously with the
disappearance of the cap-wearing
pugilist, but happened to remem-
Der that Uncle Haywood thought 1t
would be for the best If I refrained
from Juggling sports subjects into the
column. When I told him didn't
know anything about any other sub
jects he said: =
Just read the newspapers and
pick out some story that seems to
have moral or civic or educational
significance and write about 1900
words on 1t. That oughtn't to be

This shows you what a generous
old soul Uncle Haywood Is. You
won't find many men in this world
who for the asking will give you the
complete secret Of their success.

Giant Murder Case
DIG George Kent. AZ, is in a Yer

DIG George Kent, AZ, is in YER
- mont Jail, charged with murder.
His father, Llewellyn Kent, "a,
and known as the strongest man in
Grafton, licked" him the other
night, whereupon George ran into
the other room," got gun and shot
the old man.
Those who disbelieve in corporal
punishment, especially for 42-year-
old children, will see tragic argu-
ment In the result.
The argument would be more con-
elusive, but for the Kent family
record. The Kent family has staged
three murders within seventeen
years, and this Is the second case OF
patricide.
Llewellyn Kent's brother was
killed by his son Fred, only few

Appetite for Novelty

WHATEVER the cause style has
w not only become a powerful
factor in life, but leads to some
queer activities.
The appetite for novelty can be
more easily understood than why
some novelties evolve into fads.
Flag pole sitting may be cited as
vivid illustration of the point.
there may be little mystery in the
fact that some freak thought of do
ing 1t, but there is quite a bit of
mystery In the fact that so many
have fallen for it.

~HE color of leaves and the changes which take

beauties of a garden. Then green color, as ALREADY

meaning leaf,
