bergs and drift of any kind,
and so shallow that the wires
may be readily lodged upon the
bottom"
For years, according to Way
land in '"The Pathfinder Of the
Seas" an active correspond
ence was carried on between
Field and Maury; and Field con-
Stantly visited Maury, in search
Of scientific counsel and advice.
Maury gave Field valuable sci
entific information regarding
the necessary size and strength
OF the cable, means for protect
ing it against wear and tear.
and mechanismS for coiling
it on the ocean floor. Maury,
the scientist, supplied the
brains; but Field, the capital
iSt and executor Of the oper-
alton, received the gold medal
voted by the American Con-
greSS.
A cable had been laid from
England to France in 1846;
but the attempt to lay a cable
across the Gulf of Mexico in
1854 had failed. Field con-
ceived the idea Of laying a
cable across the Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany, which he organized, was
supported almost entirely by
English capital. Much assist
ance was derived, not only from
Maury, but also from the Cana,
dian inventor and electrician,
Frederick N. Osborne, who laid
the first deep-Sea cable in
American waters, between
Prince Edward Island and New
Brunswick.
The first attempt was made
by Field in 1857, but the cable
parted 335 miles from the Irish
coast and the project for the
time waS abandoned. The next
yea a first attempt failed, but
tn" second was successful for
only few weeks, when a
breakage occurred. Immense
financial loss was suffered by
the company and Field was
almost bankrupted. The effort
was resumed in 1865, but this
time the cable broke 1900 miles
from Ireland and could not be
recovered. Finally. as a reward
Of Fields resolution and per.
sistence, a cable was success
fully laid in 1865. To this
monumental task Field had
devoted twelve years Of his
life, sometimes having as many
as 1900 men at work. Success,
fully deserved, finally crowned
his efforts.

Khafre, the second Of the
great pyramids, while smaller
than Khufu, gives the impress
sion of being larger when seen
from q distance because 1t Is on
higher ground. Actually it is
447 feet high. Khufu Is 481.
The third pyramid is only 2O4
feet high and has but one cham
her. It was here that the cof-
fin and the mummy Of King
Menkure, now to be seen in
the British Museum were found.
The Great Sphinx was no
such engineering feat in its ere
alton as were the pyramids. 1t
Is hewn Of solid rock and is 66
feet high. It is, of course, one
of the great sights which the
visitor to Egypt looks for.
There are many legends con-
corning it. One which Is Of in
terest is that the mutilated con-
dition Of the face as it is now
was caused by those who came
into Egypt long after the Sphinx
was built and who resented the
expression on the face, or
rather, what it stood for.
Whether this is true may be
considered with the fact that
the crouching body itself has
suffered from the drifting sands
which cut like a sharp knife
when driven before the wind.
Nevertheless, the Sphinx is still
and probably always will be, a
noble and majestic figure.

SECRETS OF

To hear some people talk one
would think there is a definite
antagonism between the sexes
that has always existed and
that never will be overcome,
People like that point to the
divorce courts, to marital in
fidelity, to marriages Of con-
venience, etc., to bolster up
their argument.
But they seem to forget that
men and women have rubbed
elbows for ages and have got
along pretty well at that.
Does history record anywhere
an attempt on the part Of one
sex to exterminate the other?
No! Opposite sexes are not
: antagoniStic-they are compile
mentary. The opposite sexes by
nature are compelled to CO.
operate and depend upon each
other.
Would love have developed If
nature had not deemed it abso-
lutely essential that man and
woman combine for mutual
benefit?
We are born to mate and re-
produce. This is a cardinal
principle of life throughout the
animal and vegetable Kingdoms.
The unity Of the human race
consists in man, woman, and
the child.
Single blesSednesS is a myth.
Whatever blessing there is, Is

Listen, World!

You can't help people.
You can't mould their lives
for them.
And why should you expect

Even q turnip has q right to
do its own growing.
Why shouldn't a human be
allowed to do the same?
Yes, I admit. some Of them
go at it all wrong
They're dumb. silly, extrava-
CANT, infinitely exaSperating.
But that's THEIR business,
not yours.
That is literally their busi-
ness
The most important business
they have
The business Of learning how
to live:
And no one can conduct that
business for them.
You may want to-you may
think you can.
You may insist upon trying
to direct their lives.
And they may seem willing
But even If they are willing,
it can't be done.
Sooner or later they will
slip
Back into their own scheme
Of things
BECAUSE THAT IS REALLY

THAT'S AS FAR AS THEY

UNTIL THEY'RE READY

But look what a mess they

And how much needless
trouble
They cause themselves and
others!
Yes, that's true
But those mistakes they
make.
Inconvenient as they may be
to society
Are as important a part of
THEIR business of living
AS their occasional successes.
Indeed, we often learn far
more from our mistakes
Than from our successes.

Is actually just as sacred
AS the right to make a saint
of yourself.

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

There has been a good deal
of speculation as to how the
Sphinx came into being. One
theory Is that it was the work
Of Khafre to be included IN
his burial ground. Another Is
that originally it was an ugly
rock which partly hid the view
of the second pyramid, and IN
order to improve the scenery.
the figure Of the Sphinx was
carved on it. A large part OF
the body is buried in the sand
to q great depth, which adds
weight to this theory.
One visit which the traveller
should not fail to make Is that
to the Coptic Church Of Abu
Sergius over in the old city and
inside the walls Of the ancient
fortress Of Babylon built by
the Romans.
There is a widely believed
claim that Joseph and Mary
rested on this spot in o. crypt
underneath what is now the
church when they brought
Jesus to Egypt. Therefore the
church itself has great interest
for students Of the Bible and
the religious history Of the
world.
The best minds have agreed
that the Church Of Abu SergiuS
was built much earlier than
the eighth century, but just
how much earlier has not been
determined.

The Atlantic Gable
By Archibald Henderson

IN these days Of scientific
marvels, when people speak
across the Atlantic Ocean at .
cost Of $25 per minute, the
mighty achievement of the lay.
ing of the Atlantic cable is al
most forgotten. Today there are
numerous cables lying on the
ocean floors, connecting conti-
nent with continent.
BY 1921, $50 ocean cables had
been laid, totaling in length
some $4,000 miles. But when
the first Atlantic cable was laid,
1t was regarded as a colossal
feat Of scientific skill. Justin
Mccarthy, the Irish historian,
said:
(. "The history Of human inven.
tiOn has not q more inspiring
example Of patience living down
discouragement and presever-
ance triumphing over defeat"
The story has often been told,
that at a banquet on one occa-
sion, Cyrus w. Field, said, re-
garding the laying Of the Allan
tic cable:
81 am q man of few words;
Maury furnished the brains, En-
KIand gave the money, and 1 did
the work"
Perhaps this story is not
strictly correct, but it probably
represents what actually oc-
CURED.
Matthew Fontaine Maury has
received little credit in written
history for his contribution of
"the brains" Between 1849 and
1853, many soundings were made
under Maury'S direction, of the
North Atlantic Ocean. The
depth of the ocean was meas
ured literally in thousands of
places by United States naval
officers and others. In 1852,
Maury drew a chart represent
ing the bottom of the Atlantic
ocean between America and
Europe.
Maury called the broad ele-
vation beneath the waves,
which he had charted, the
Telegraphic Plateau" because
1t was an admirable floor for
an Atlantic cable. He also To-
Gated the path for the cable,
and described the proper con-

More Severe 1nvective
For the Public Printer

Editor, Times:
The more ] read Of the
escapades Of Public Printer
Carter, the more disgusting it
gets.
When he made his debut in
the paper several months ago,
I and perhaps the majority Of
readers thought he was just
another publicity hunter. I
couldn't blame him for that.
But this latest ruling" shows
he is nothing but an ordinary
tyrant.
I thought I was taught in
school that this was a free
country. Who is Carter that
he should tell people that
they shall or shall not marry?
Why is it none Of the other
departments of the Govern
ment have such a regulation?
Probably because the heads of
these departments have COM
mon sense.
The Navy and other branches
Of Government service where
the Superiors have more juriS-
diction over the men under
them than the Civil Service
has over their employees, and
who are also very much under
paid, have no such regulation.
On account of the low pay,
they, Of course, try to encour.
age the men to remain single.
All I can say iS-it is really
too bad Mr.. Carter wasn't born
in the age Of Brutus or some
OF the other historical tyrants
where he could carry out his
hypocritical ideas to his hearts
content.

Center Market Issue
Revived BY Patron

Editor, Times:
I have read nothing recently
concerning what is to be done
Tor the accommodation of the
housewives of the Capital as to
their daily marketing after the
Center Market is abolished, tt
is my understanding that this
convenient market has been
given a life by Congress that
extends only until January.
Under the present program, as
understand it, the market is
then to be demolished in the
great building program Of the
Federal Government.
Probably every WaShingtonian
approves of this building pro-
gram which eventually will
make this Capital the most
beautiful in the world. Old
landmarks are going and others
must go in this march of prog
reSS. But Center Market is q
vital need ), to thousands of
women who must go by street
car or automobile each day and
purchase vegetables and other
supplies for the family table.
Most Of these housewives, of
course. patronize literally their
neighborhood supply stores but
the Center Market has always
done a large business. The
service is prompt and the prices
reasonable.
