Salem Made Famous by
Its Ships and Traders

During the Revolution little Sa-
lem under leadership of Elias
Haskell Derby, furnished and
equipped los privateers. carrying
1000 guns and manned by 600O
men, equal to the entire population
of the city, writes Walter prichard
Eaton in the Washington Star. At
the end of the war, naturally, Sa-
lem found itself with a large fleet,
much too large for coastwise trade,
ami large staff of shippers and
seamen trained to adventure and
daring navigation. Besides the ships
and seamen. the little town pos
sessed, in Derby and others, own
ers and merchants of imagination
and initiative. She was all set for
great things.
And great things came with
rush. The Derbys, the Crownin-
shields and the rest sent their ships
around Good Hope, to the East In
dies, and long before the East In
dian traders knew the names of
Philadelphia. New York, Baltimore
or Boston, they knew we'll the name
of Salem. Derby's famous ship, the
Grand Turk, in 1854 was the first
American merchantmen to round
the Cape of Good Hope.

Faith of Brothah Joe
Surely at Low Point

L. q. Newton of Garden City, Mo-.
put down his magazine and devoted
himself to thoughts of a negro
handy man who used to work for
him-Old Joe Black.
Old Joe, writes Mr.. Newton, was
forever getting religion and back
sliding. One summer he suffered
no fewer than seven of these sue
cessful wrestles with Satan, and a
particularly powerful preacher was
called to the rescue.
Have faith. Brothah Joe, have
faith" eyhorted the good man.
Hitch yo'self to faith and git goin'.
Don't you know faith no biggah
than mustahd seed'll move a
mountain?'
"Sho' does, sho' does" groaned
Old Joe Black. but jist this minute
l amt got faith enough to move
that mustahd seed.r = Golfers

Woman's Long Fast

When Madame Hanaux a short
time ago completed her hunger
strike of IS days in a French prison,
Scotland came forward with the as
sertion that the feat was by no
means a record, and that it had
been exceeded several times in
Scotland. It cited a case in ITO
which became known as "Pennant's
Fasting Woman of Ross-shire," from
the fact that Pennant described it
in his "Tour of Scotland" Kath-
arine Mcleod, aged thirty-fve. was
attacked with a fever, which oc-
casioned partial blindness, and al
most total inability to take food.
Her parents sometimes put a little
into her mouth, but for a year
and three-quarters they had no evil
dence that either food or drink
passed her lips. By forcibly open
ing her mouth and depressing her
tongue, they tried to compel the
passage of food. but a suffocating
construction led them to desist.

Fine Statues of Buddha
in Japanese ShriRes

-Four gigantic statues of Buddha
have been erected in Japan. The
largest one is located in the city of
kyoto, and dates from 1901. It is
a wooden figure, consisting of only
Il head and shoulders; but even so
it reaches to the ceiling of the lofty
hall in which it is enshrined, and
is IS feet in height.
The next largest is $50 feet in
height, erected in the city of Nara.
1t is made of plates of bronze
soldered together.
The third in size of these inn
ages, but which perhaps gives the
most majestic impression of the
four, is located at Kamakura, erect
ed in the Thirteenth century. 1t is
80 feet I inches in height. and is
formed of sheets of bronze cast
separately, brazed together, and
finished off on the outside with the
chisel.
The hollow interior of the image
contains a small shrine. and the
visitor may ascend into the head.
The next, and smallest of the
four, was built in 1891 at Hyogo,
in the precincts of the temple of

was largely through the efforts of

named Manic Shobei. that this
statue was built. But it by no
means equals the ancient statue at
kamakura.

Vacation Important

The public Health service says
that vacation is one of the most
important of our social institutions.
In world that is so arranged fiat
most people are compelled to work
during the greater portion of the
year, change. a rest, a vacation, IL
properly taken makes the work pos
sible. Every man and woman is en-
titled to a vacation. Every wom-
an engaged in maintaining a home
is entitled to vacation. It is not
necessary to go long distances, but
it is necessary to get out in the
open. A vacation should be a time
set aside for the building up of
that reserve of health and bodily
yigor necessary to carry people
through the long periods Of work
which must follow before the next
vacation season rolls round.

MAGNESIUM Long Known

Magnesium metal has been known
to science 100 years. Though known
for 10 years it appeared in its
purest form a century ago and has
been available commercially for
more than 65 years, says DR.. John
A. Gam, metallurgist, in a report
to the American Chemical society
on the development of the magne-
SUM industry.
Since the date Of its discovery
it has been found that the metal is
about seventy times as plentiful as
nickel and 200 times as abundant
as copper. Magnesium salts are
also found in mineral waters and
in the ocean. The important raw
material for magnesium production
in the United States at the present
time is Michigan salt brines.

Why Heavy Ti1nbsrs in
Colonial Frame Houses

Every American feels his inter-

torical frame dwelling whose con-
struction date may so back LOO to
200 years to some early Colonial
period. Comments upon the sound
ness of the construction methods
of those early days are made fire.
quently without the speaker know
ing in what ways they differ from
today.
The braced timber frame was in
variably used along the North At
lantic coast. The early eolonists
did not set out to invent this
frame. They brought with them a
tradition of heavy haIf-timber con-
struction from the mother country.
There was a great abundance of
standing timber. cutting by hand
was laborious, and timbers were
used which we're much stronger
than required for strength. Posts
and girts were eight and ten-fnch
square-hewn timbers.-PhiIadelphfa

Interesting Old Castle,

Lumley castle, near Chesterle-
Street, England, it is thought, can
establish it's claim to be the oldest
inhabited castle in the two counties
of Northumberland and Durham,
says an article in the Montreal
Family Herald. 1t was originally
built as a manor house, about 933,
and continued as such for about
four centuries. In the Fourteenth
century Sir Ralph Lumley had the
castle remodeled by building the
four corner towers or keeps and
connecting buildings on all sides
but the west. The castle has been
in continuous occupation of the
Lumley family ever since its orig

GREEN SAYS HOOVER
KEPT WAGES HIGH

WASHINGTON = Vim. Green
President of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, told President Ho-
over that the action taken at the
Presidents White House conferen-
ce of representatives of employers
and employees on November q
had served to steady and maintain
the wage and working standards
prevailed in industry prior to the
period which marked the begin
ming of the unemployment stu
alton.
Mr.. Green called at the White
House to invite the President to
attend and address the opening
session of the convention of Amer
lean Federation of Labor in Bos-
ton on October 6. He was as
sured that the President would az
cept this invitation if at all poss-
ible to do SO.
Mr.. Green said to the President
that the stabilizing effect of the
White House conference of Nov
ember q, was becoming "more and
more apparent
president Hoover rendered
great service when he called this
conference. Employers of labor
who have maintained wage STAN
dards and working conditions dur
ing this long continued period of
Unemployment and depression
have shown their faith in the val
he of high wages as an essential
requirement of prosperity.
Employers of labor who have
maintained wage levels and have
refused to reduce wages and who
are striving to the utmost to bring
about g return of normal condi-
lions in prosperity through the
payment and maintenance of high
wages deserve to be commended.
In like n1aliner labor organiza-
tons and the representatives Of
labor are to be commended for
the service they have rendered in
maintaining cooperation and in
preventing interruption and strike.
Through this kind of cooperation
and service we will ultimately br-
ing about a return to normal con-
ditions and overcome the evil of
unemployment.

of its kind where there is no pro-
fessional jealousy and no exhibition
of artistic temperament. The act
