the trustees 10 install the finest
playground equipment in Devou park
and to provide perpetual care for
the park without expense to the
tax payers" Devou says.
I'D rather repair a broken door
myself than play golf. What is the
use Of money IL M can't do what
they want to with It? I prefer TO
live alone and remain close TO my
business. Why should ! be criti-
cized If I prefer TO work instead "
remaining idle?'

arm and the handle of a hammer
sticking out of n pocket.
Educated at the University of
Heidelberg in Germany. Devou lives
in almost the same manner as his
tenants in the midst Of tenement
district heat. His home is a rear
room in one OF the buildings which
he owns and his private office"
is a similar room filled with used
stove pipe. plumbing fixtures. brok-
en- window frames and doors used
for repair work.

The wealthy real estate owner.
who walks along the street picking
up pieces of cord. nails and screws,

The park is a beautiful piece Of
wooded ground affording an excel

cinnati. II includes $50 acres, has
a municipal golf course and three

Warner GLAND. who again plays

back OF his being IN pictures and
particularly Of portraying Oriental

Efficacy of Prayers

The devout people of Tibet, and
that Is almost the entire population.
spend much time and ingenuity In
their prayers. Their prayers to the
2lorIfication OF Buddha, seem TO he
race to work off the greatest pos
sible Dumber of prayers. and the one
who has the largest number to his
credit has prospects of the greatest
reward. One man has the snpplIca-
ton carved on board which Is Sc
cured 70 long pole. He spends
hours every day dipping the board
Into the water. Every dip Is prayer.
Another has whirling windmill,
which he holds anft with the proper
inscription unan II. and every reyo-
luton Is n prayer. Women moving
about in their ordinary pursuits
carry little whrllgigs which they
keep In motion constantly Every
whrl Is prayer. The shoulder
hlades of the yak present a broad sur
face. These are properly inscribed
and hung In groups OF dozen. from
the branches of tree overhanging
a footpath. Travellers cannot get by
without brushing them aside and This
disturbance means several prayers
Sturdy ones climb to the mountain

Old and New

In Europe modernism and medieval
ism have way Of living side by side
in the same city, each unconscious and
uncomprehending of the other. This
is seen to the best advantage at Men,
tone on the Riviera. The centuries
have not changed this medieval city.
Time seems to have woven it into a
tapestry Of venerable cathedrals,
moss-covered houses and primitive
little pathways. they unknowingly or
generously call streets. and all that
Old Mentone knows of Young Mentone
Is that she comes at certain times OF
the year with her manifestations OF
wealth and gayety to live In the lux
urious hotels and spacious villas, a
terra lncognito to her neighbor.

Postmarks were first placed on en-
velopes as an official marking. Later
they were used to cancel the postage
stamps and give place and time OF
mailing. The post Office department
says that the records OF the depart
ment do not show when the postmark
was first used. AS early as 1898 the
postal laws and regulations required
the postmasters to mark letters de-
posted In their offices for mailing
with the name Of the Office. This mark
might be either stamped or written.
Up to 1910 In some cases written post-
marks were still In use.
