Olive Always Symbol
of Richness and Peace

The wood of the olive tree is strong
and durable though hard to work, and
takes beautiful finish when polished.
BY divine command the two cherubs
above the ark of the covenant, and
other decorations of the first temple
were made by Solomon's workmen Of
olive wood, as were also some of the
pillars doors and posts.
AL was symbolical in that glorious
temple and no doubt the use of olive
wood was not without reference to
the prosperity and richness of which
the olive was symbol, as well, of
course, as the peace which it has rep
resented ever since the days Of Noah.
No other oil than that of the olive
is referred to in the sacred Scriptures,
although it is certain that the people
of the Holy land were well acquainted
with mineral oil, which is found plen-
tifully in the lower Jordan valley.

Goethe and Carlyle

Goethe is not only one of the SUI
preme poets of the world; he has the
distinction of being the author of the
best German novel. William Mester.
The best translation Of this was writ
ten and published by Thomas Carlyle
more than one hundred years ago. In
reading this translation, therefore, one
is reading in the same book the works
of two men of genius. Carlyle
had almost no opportunity to hear
spoken German; he was largely self
taught. But it was characteristic of
his honesty, industry, conscience, as
well as his literary gifts, that he
should have done his difficult work
so well that no one has been able
to equal it.-William Lyon Phelps, in

Determined Youth Ran
This .Chost' to Earth

The natives who inhabit Illoios
Norte, the most northern province Of
the Island of Luzon, Philippine islands,
live in mortal terror Of a ghost, seen
at night in marsh which, borders
the rice fields. This particular ghost,
according to reports, carries light
OF some sort and travels at great
speed. No Filipino will venture near
the spot.
An American government teacher,
an athletic young fellow, failing to
induce amy native to accompany him,
went one night alone into the marsh.
After a short time the light appeared
In the form of ball Of fire which
hung low over the ground and moved
away as he followed II.
This game led the determined young
man farther into the rice field, and
into deeper mud and water Finally,
after many such attempts to solve the
mystery, he decided to run 1t down.
After long zlgzag chase, requiring
all the speed he could attain under
such conditions, he caught up with a
badly winded wild hog, its snout COW
cred with the phosphorescent mud
rooted up from the marsh.-Kansas

elderly man that he was IAN old

that no single citizen of that particu-

has given. 1t IS true that with the
passing of the years some men cannot
keep time with the rapid step of prog
ress, yet their hearts are right and
most of them, even now, are doing
more than they get credit for.
No, most of our towns do not need
a flew first class funerals Rather
they need re-birth of the hardihood,
loyalty, courage, foresight and stabil-
ity OF men who have gone on before.
We need fewer men. yet comparative
ly young, to stop saying that they
have served their time and who are
always willing to "let George do it,
The next time you hear somebody say,
What this town needs is few first
class funerals call their hand and

CAR POSSESSION SHOULD
NOT BE TITLE TO DRIVE


Mere possession of an automobile
should not entitle any member Of the
owners family to operate it, regard
less of their mental and physical
ability to take their place in traffic,
according to the Automobile Club Of
Washington, which points out that
this is exactly what is happening in
states without an adequate drivers
license law and as result the village
idiot or his nearsighted cousin can
drive car and endanger the lives Of
pedestrians and other motorists.
There are only two states, in the
extreme West, which have complete
drivers license systems. OF the other
states, there are eight, including
Washington, which require all oper-
ators to be licensed, but without man
datory examination, and these eight
states show little, if any better record
than those which require no license
at all.
For the rest, is states license only
chauffeurs, while 70 states have no
requirement of any sort as to licensing
OF operators or chauffeurs, and any
body at all is free to attempt to oper-
ate vehicle which, in incompetent
hands, is a dangerous weapon the club
points out.
At the present session of the state
Legislature the Automobile Club is sug-
costing enactment Of an operators

Helium Unique

Helium is an inert gas discovered
by astronomers and physicians in the
sun more than twenty-five years be-
fore 1t was isolated in the earth's at
mosphere. 1t is very light and is con-
tinually escaping from the earths
gravitational field. 1t is non-inflam-
mable and non-explosive. Four parts
In each million Of the atmosphere are
helium. Helium is non-corrosive, and
will not combine with any other chem
ical element even at extremely high
temperatures. 1t is the product of the
dlsintegration of radium, and is found
in many rocks and minerals in small
quantities. As 1t is an element 1t can
not be made from any other COM

WALKER, SHARKEY
SIZED Up FALSELY
Mickey No Giant Killer and
Jack Figures He Should
Win or Give Up.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n YEW YORK, July 18 OPAL
M Thousands Of fans leave their
bit at the box Office every time
Jack Sharkey fights in the
hope of seeing him beaten and humil-
lated. 1t has been that way for years
Sharkey is to box Mickey Walker, who
resigned as middleweight champion
after slothful reign, at Ebbets Field
next Wednesday.
For some time reports have been cir
culated that Sharkey is in poor condl
ton, not interested in his work and,
in general ripe to be taken. Walker
has been pictured as a giant killer,
greater puncher than Dempsey ever
was. and so on Both Sharkey and
Walker have been made to appear other
than they are by these reports.
If any of those who have been hang
ing around for years in the hope of see
ing Sharkey fattened had taken peep
at him yesterday at Pompton Lakes
the idea that Walker has much of a
chance of turning the trick would have
vanished.
Sharkey may have been fat and habby
and uninterested 10 days ago or week
ago or even three days ago. but he was
nothing of the sort yesterday. and he
will be nothing of the sort Wednesday
night Instead of funny fat man,
Sharkey was a very well conditioned.
energetic. smooth-boxing young fellow
as he went through his PAGES with four
sparring partners.
If Sharkey cannot make short work
of Walker, who lost the welterweight
title to Pete Latzo. was stopped by Joe
Dundee. and took the middleweight title
on decision SO unjust that the referee
who delivered it never officiated there
after then he should quit the ring. and
that is the way he himself feels about it.

THREE OUT Of -FOUR
BATTLES SHUTOUTS
Elliott of PhiIs HurIs Two
Wins in One Set-Grove
Turns in Another.
BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n 70 one has accused either the
Nj Boston Braves or the Gin
1 Y cinnati Reds of having de-
signs on this years Ma
tional League pennant, but those
two clubs have just completed
what likely will stand as the most
remarkable series played in either
major league this season.
For pitching brilliance over a period
of days, there has been nothing SO far
to compare with the performances given
by their respective mound STATS the last
four days. The total runs scored by
both teams in the four contests was only
10, for the Reds and for the Braves.
Shutouts were registered on three of the
four afternoons, John Ogden and Red
Lucas turning the feat for the Reds
and Bruce Cunningham for the Braves.
Cincinnatis two victories were won
by scores of l to and 5 to 0. Boston
captured its pair. to and 2 to 0.
Lefty Brandt OF the Braves allowed only
four hits in losing the second game Of
the series TO old John Ogden.
Elliott Wins Two.
In climaxing the torrid series yes
terday, Lucas limited the Braves to five
hits, two Of them by Rabbit Maran-
vile, while he and his mates jumped
on Farmhouse and Moss for 10 to run
up the highest score Of the SERIES Lucas
himself, contributed a double and q
single to the attack.
While on the subject Of pitching.
Jumbo Jim Elliott of the Phillies comes
in for a share of the plaudits His
foo IyiT lu fHxya of five
gagements from the Pittsburgh Pirates,
and he pitched both of them. After
beating the Pirates, l to 0. on Monday,
he came back to DO 1t again yesterday,
to l. for his thirteenth victory of the
year. He yielded only four hits and did
not walk batter.
Pinch Hitter Wins.
A pair Of Brooklyn anicents, Adolfo
Luque and John Quinn, held the St.
Louis Cardinals to nine scattered blows
as the Robins squared the four-gam
serics, to /.
Batting rather than pitching featured
the fourth game in the senior circuit,
the Giants clouting three Chicago
curvers for Is hits to close the series
with 7-to-6 victory and squeeze back
into second place in the standing. Ethan
Allen, pinch hitter, drove across the
winning runs with a double after two
were out in the seventh
Lefty Grove chalkad up his nineteenth
victory of the year and his tenth in a
row as the champion Athletics made it
four out of five from Detroit, to 3.
Yves Terrell of the Indians scored al
most a single-handed victory over the
Yankees, 2 to /. He granted only three
hits. one of which was Babe Ruth's
twenty-third home run of the year. and
won his own game with a blow into
the left fisld bleachers in the seventh.
