All that 1 could say failed to convince
him or induce him to sail on.
I watched a football player in our
last intercollegiate game in his at
tempts. to advance the ball. The de-
Tense of the opposing team was for
considerable time perfect. Time and
again the boy tried with the ball to
plunge through the line, but the line
held, and he was stopped at every at
tempt. There was for him, apparent
ly, no land in sight, but he sailed on,
the line finally weakened, the inter-
ference came to his support and he
made a touchdown.
A friend of mine who was engaged
in scientific investigation made the
same experiment more than a thou
sand times in order to reach a desired
result. Over and over again he was
advised by those who were onlookers
that it was use, ess for him to con-
tinue. There was nothing, they said,
to be hoped for by going on. But he
sailed on, and ultimately he made the
discovery he had been hoping for.
Persistence in following an ideal !!
1t is great virtue.

Radiurn Used to Treat
Defects of the Eve

Baltimore.-Dr. William Holland
Wilmer, head of the Wilmer Eye In
stitute of Johns Hopkins hospital, has
found a new use for radium in treat
ing physical defects Of the eye.
The radium, used in very small
quantities, has been found effective in
treatment of obscured vision blurred
through formation of scar tissue in
the corner.
This use of radium," preliminary
report says, sis in the pioneer stages,
but 1t has been found to hasten the
absorption of scar tissue and to re-
store high degree of clarity to the
sight of many patients"
Some of the instruments used are
so delicate and sensitive to vibration
that engineering experts were en-
ployed TO design the bases for them.
To reduce this vibration to mini
mum, solid concrete piers, such as
might be required for skyscraper or
a bridge abutment, have been sunk
just to support instruments of compar-
atively little weight.

Tiffin, Ohio.-The little matter OF
glass eye has restored peace In the
neighborhood of Seneca county's jail.
The eye has proved time and trou-
BILE saver for Sheriff George Burkett.
And the same glass eye does not exist
as far as Seneca cOunty's prisoners
are aware. Therein lies the story OF
an ingenious sheriff and the gullibility
of unsuspecting prisoners.
Sheriff 'Burkett's county charges
wouldn't behave. Meek as lambs and
docile in his presence, they resorted
to boisterous frolic as soon as his
watchful eye was turned.
The sheriff knew this. From his
residence across the Jail yard, he could
hear the inmates creating turmoil
which declined to a meek and inno-
cent tranquility as soon as he stalked
wrathfully through the outer iron door.
His peace was disturbed. The neigh
bors complained. What was needed
was an omnipresent eye.
To the amusement of the inmates,
the sheriff drilled long line of small
holes completely across an outer wall
of the Jail.
Twenty-four hours after the last
shaving was gouged through the last
diminutive port hole the chuckles of
Seneca county's prisoners faded. They
were replaced in rapid succession by
Impotence, disgust and finally con-
sternation.
Their every action was now being

in the end he won.
A freshman dropped in on me yes

tual barque few weeks ago, and now
he was ready to turn back. Things
had not proved so easy as he had an
ticipated. Mathematics took more

had planned to give it. His English
style was neither so fluent nor so &C.
curate as he had been made to think
in high school, and he could hardly
see what use some Of the subjects
which he was required to pursue
would be to him after he got out of
college. He was fearful and discour-
aged, and there was no land in sight.

Glass Eye Keeps Jail Peace

They murmured talk Of boycotts, pro-
tests, petitions, appeals and the others
which they could remember having
heard in courts. But their complaints
were always registered sotto-voce.
There were no more tumultuous
noises emanating from Seneca coun-
tvs Jail.
Meanwhile Sheriff Burkett wears a
smile continuously. Several times each
day he slips from his room. From a.
small recess in the wall he lifts a
small, cleaning object and restores it
to another hole further down the line.
And the hapless prisoners on the OPP
posite side writhe but writhe quietly.

Strange claims are advanced by the
three women.
The first asserts that villa married
her before he did the other two and
that, therefore, she has first claim.
The second declares that Villa spent
more of his time with her than with
the others, and the third asserts that
Villa loved her best of all.
All three women claim the name of

second is Juana Torres de Villa, and
the last is Austreberta Renteria de
