Victory Made History
ON Plain of Marathon

The ancient Marathon was small
town on the eastern coast of Attica,
about 20 miles northeast Of Athens.
There is a modern village of the
name, but the site of the ancient Mar
athon is occupied now by town
called Vrana. Along with neighbor-
ing towns, the old Marathon belonged
to an ancient Hanseatic league called
the Tetrapolis. This league claimed
very early origin, legend carrying 1t
back to the time of Theseus. and 1t
survived until after the Fourth GEN.
fury B. G.
The plain of Marathon is famous
as the scene of the decisive battle In
which Miltiades led the Athenians
and Plateans to victory over the army
Of Darius under command of Datis
and Artaphernes in B. c. 400. The
Greeks numbered about 10000, while
the Persians had much larger force.

BRIGHT COLORS IN
FAVOR FOR WINTER

Fashion has come out for color for
winter wear-gay. vivid, brilliant
colors, with red predominating. All
shades of red from the rust and tan
gerine shades to geranium. cerise,
apple red, shade that used to be
called American beauty. and down to
the wine colors. Purple, also, is very
smart. There are bright greens and
soft green's. Blue is insistent and very
bright. A blue which used to be royal
blue now has counterpart in banner
blue.
These colors are seen In all types
Of dresses, beginning with the tailored
dress with long sleeves to wear with
the street coat Afternoon dresses
are particularly lovely in colors. and
the bright-colored evening dress is
gaining ground every day. A red eve
ming dress is one Of the things that
make losing beauty sleep worth while.
It is becoming to every one because
whatever the color or type one can
always find shade of red that is
becoming.

Once corduroy was heavy stuff that

In general it is corduroy which is find

But the corduroy we speak of is
corduroy with a difference. At most
it is but a fifth cousin to the stalwart
ribbed cotton fabric which once we
knew. Soft, lightweight and with

you SO choose and the modish reds or
IL yoa prefer the subtle pastel tones
and tints, just ask to see them. and
then while your eyes are feasting on
their loneliness. pause far a moment
to consider the chic and the charm of
the swanky white corduroy which it's
said will be quite the rage for winter
resort wear.
For coats and suits the wide vale
corduroy is most popular. This type

"Dew Of DEATH

Lady Cynthia Mosley. wife of the
insurgent member of the British par
lament and daughter of the late
Marquis Curzon, told an audience of
young people at Coventry that the
next war will ''fnish civilization"
She said that scientists have devel-
oped a new chemical known as the
dew Of death and that teaspoonful
Of this explosive dropped over city
would kill million people. Enough
dew Of death could be carried in q

s'Mother, it's going to be greatv
Paul would say every now and then
in his enthusiasm. "There couldn't be
anything better than this; why-why
this star seems as If it were really
alive I"
But Mrs. Rainier knew Of the many
lavish and expensive decorations that
were going up all over town. The
simple things that they were fashion
ing would probably show up very small
beside such display. But she tried to
keep faith with the faith Of her son.
And even though they should not get a
prize, this work that they were
doing was bringing them great
amount Of happiness; a deeper and
finer spirituality than they ever had
known before. They seemed to have
caught the very spirit of Christmas;
each day seemed to be bringing them
nearer to Bethlehem.
In a week the decorations were fin
ished, and Paul took ladder and set
to work. Across the high side wall Of
the house that faced the street he
placed the letters that had been WOW
en- from scraps Of paper. When COM
pleted, they read: "Glory to God In
the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men," Above this he
placed the silver star which had grown
to be so real. With long extension
cords and three rejecting lights that
they had been able to hire from a
nearby electrician for small sum, the
lighting system was complete.
Paul could scarcely wait until dark
ness fell to turn on the current. His
hands trembled with excitement when

Seek Lost Atlantis

To discover lost Atlantis is the
mission for which Fl. Fl. S. Challen-
ger is being outfitted. A pencil will
automatically trace on scroll Of
moving paper the gradient Of the
ocean bed as the ship steers across
the area where a submarine noun
tain is alleged to be, about 250 miles
north of the Azores. A report made
to the admiralty in 1850 contains a
chart showing shallow patch Of 4S
fathoms, surrounded like an island
by depths of 1900 fathoms and the
like. An attempt will be made to
definitely prove or disprove the re-
port.

mound in which the remains Of these
dead were placed is still conspicuous
on the plain. The battle turned back
the eastern invasion Of Europe and
saved Athens: and, according to ira
dition, a Greek runner sped without
stopping from Marathon to Athens
bearing the tidings of victory.

SEEKS MORE LIGHT
ABOUT .FREE WILL"
Writer Candidly Admits He
Is Puzzled.

On the subject Of = Stree will"
which has been interesting the con-
tributors and readers of a column
conducted by Ted Robinson in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, we take the
following, evidently written by a
seeker after light:
"The problem of free will is trou-
bling a contributor. wonder II he
is willing to give a comprehensive
definition (not a complex one) ac-
cording to his Interpretation. Many
arguments are the result of differ
ent interpretations of terms. AS far
as am concerned, ! believe a hui
man being has measure of free
will. If he has not, I think he Is in
bad way.
at is true that a man cannot be
an elephant by any effort of will;
neither can he be in two places at
once; but he can, of his own Volt
tion, make more or less intelligent
effort to satisfy his wants. Surely,
the contributors wants are not salts
fed merely because they exist.
'If he believes free will to be nom
existent, how can he define It? Will
he not have to use his Imagination
II he has no freedom Of will, how
is he going to control his imagina-
ton? If he cannot control his mag
ination, how far will he get with his
definition?
"The televox has no free will. It
has no will at all. The operator
wills what 1t is to do. If human
being has no free will, who Is the
operator? And if there is no will
behind our behavior, what prevents
chaos?
"If the will that controls our be-
havior is outside ourselves, how does
1t operate? There are no push but
tons. Then, it must be that this
power outside ourselves merely wills
us to do as we do. And If this be
so, there must be responsive power
within us, and it must be similar to
the power that influences 1t. The
forces of nature are infinite, and II
the power within us is similar to
the power that influences us to dc
as we do, that power must be just
a manifestation of the power, that
influences us, and in some measure
has the same power; that is, free
will.
ITO me it is mystery, but true
cannot imagine it otherwise. In
finity is also a mystery, and can
not grasp it; but when I try to I'M
agine it's nonexistence, its existence
becomes apparent"

finally the moment came, and his heart
almost stood still as he looked up and
saw the message that has thrilled the
world for nearly 1000 years stand out
in bold relief. Above it the silver star
cleaned brightly; to Paul it seemed
more alive than ever.
Through the days that followed
mother and son thrilled as they no.
ticed the many people who stopped
outside. Cars from all over the city
drove by each night, and the COM
ments and praise that they heard was
as music to their ears.
"Paul. do you think we could have
got as much happiness out Of this II
we had lots of money and could have
bought anything we wished7" Mrs.
Rainier inquired Of her son one eve
ming.
"No, mother, DON'T" Paul an
swered very quietly. 'There wouldn't
have been half the fun in 1t that
there has been. just don't care now
whether we win prize or not To
see how much beauty we have been
able to make out of SO little has been
reward enough. And 1t has taught me
lesson will never forget. Oh, moth
ery' his voice grew excited, "you are
just wonderful-you are! Who but
you would have thought Of such q
thing?"
But Paul did win a prize-to the
surprise Of his mother and himself he
won the biggest prize the paper had
offered-$2OO. The simplicity Of the
design, the artistic skill that love and
care had woven into 1t. the contrast
between it and other elaborate deco
rations entered, and the evident spirit
uality Of the message all lent their In
fluence toward the final decision.
Three times the judges drove by to
see it, and each time they grew more
impressed. There seemed to be O
strange radiance about this particular
exhibit that they could not account
for. They could not know that 1t
came from all that had been put there
by loving hands. But all were unani-
nous in deciding that 1t merited the
first and best prize.
It is doubtful IL any two ever spent
a more wonderful and joyous Christ
mas than Paul and his mother. They
could scarcely credit the fact that
their work had been counted the best
in the whole city. And the prize meant
much to two who had to scrimp and
save for so many years. To them 5000
was a very large amount-it would
buy many needed things.
But over and above this was the
thought that the thing they had fash
toned from almost nothing but faith
and love had been considered worthy
Of a prize.
And as they stood in front of the
modest little home after the judges
had left and looked up toward the
great. glistening star that seemed to
smile down at them, they were both
filled with the deepest and most won
derful happiness that even Christmas
can bring. Love and faith had once
again found wayi Its star was shin
ing brightly for the grateful part
