1ion OF King Alfonso. He goes, and
republic rules Spain. 1t Is one
thing to vote for republic. an
other to make 1t go. Having king,
or no king, makes little difference.
England has long been, in reality,
an actual republic, with a king
drawing his salary and avoiding
frequent elections. Some repub-
lies, on the other hand, have not
Deen very republican, although they
nave had no king, with the possible
exception of money.
The will of the late Colonel Fried
sam set fine example of good cit
Zenshlp. He provides generously
Tor those dependent on him and
related to him and gives to the
public his magnificent and skillfully
collected works Of art that cost
100000, and are worth double
that amount.
he leaves the bulk Of his large
fortune to the public, to be spent
by his executors for the young and
comfort of the DID," words that
express beautiful thought clearly.
He leaves J. S. Burke, vice pres
ldent of his organization, who for
years has helped carry the heavy
load of business, large interest
IN that business and the controlling
influence in carrying out his philan-

the twenty millionth will stand In
the Ford museum beside the first.
Ford has made automobiles enough
to carry l0O,0000OO human beings.
In fact our entire population Of

You perhaps never heard Of a
rare sea eel, which lives In the
ocean mud and has for scientific
ute name as long as the eel.
nevertheless, science says you are
closely related to him.
You do know that you got your
f1ve fingers from the foot of sal
amander that lived in the carbonif-
erous era. millions Of years ago. re
that salamander had had six toes.
you would have six fingers includ-
Ing the thumb also the duodecimal
instead of the decimal system much
better for mathematics. And the
violin would have six strings.
You owe even more to the LITTLE
mud eel than you do to the sala.
The brain Of the LITTLE
eel was the beginning of yours. II
mas nve iobes, like yours, and a
little cortex like the thick cortex
