They have laid our lives out for us
To the utter end of time
Shall we stagger on beneath their heavy load?
Shall we let them live forever
In their gilded halls of crime
With children doomed to toll beneath their
gold?
When cause is all triumphant
And we claim our Mother Earth
And the nightmare of the present fades away
We shall live with Love and Laughter
We who little worth
And we'll not regret the price we have to pay.

"The New Riviera"
Discussed by Burton Holmes.

HSOUTHERN France and the joys
OF the new Riviera" provided the
material yesterday for another Of
Burton Holmes brilliant and amaz-
ing trayelogues at the National.
Ranging from ancient Roman ruins
to sea food and the much publicized
ports of the Mediterranean in his
itinerary. Burton Holmes conducted
his auditors through Well-balanced
tour of Gaul, its environments and
citizenry, and thence to the modern
Riviera. Flower lined roads, anti
quated bridges, walled cities and a
Roman colosseum Wed with noun
tain pamoramas, open-air restau-
rants, seaside beaches and Corsican
effect.
Corsica, the birthplace of Napo-
leon Bonaparte, the land of steep
trails and rugged hills, was pains
takingly explored for sources of
Napoleonic interest, which possibly
gives a better insight into the char
acter of the Emperor. The Chateau
diff well known as the scene Of
Edmond Dantes' imprisonment
was the object of a brief excursion
from the harbor of Marseilles.
Leaving Paris for the port Of Mar
seilles, and thence to Nice, skipping
in the meanwhile from town to town
and hamlet to hamlet with peril
nent dialogue and colorful scenes,
the speaker penetrated the provinces
of Southern France with surpris-
ing completeness, leaving, figurative-
ly, no stone unturned in his effort
to present the little known but in
teresting highlights of Gaul. Castles,

tains succumbed in rapid order to

because it illustrates that fair

POLISHED PRAIRIE
BOULDER STUDIED
Only Stone for Miles, Believed
to Have Been Rubbed Smooth
by Buffalo Herds.
b. the Associated Press.


HIAWATHA, Kans., November 28.-A
picture Of vast herds of buffalo using
lone boulder on the Northeast Kansas
prairie for rubbing stone" is painted
in report of research to the Kansas
Acasemy Of Science.
Projecting five feet above ground at
a spot sheltered by valley slope and
within 100 yards of running water, the
huge wedge Of quartite on the Kickapoo
Indian Reservation has one face pol
ishcd to CLASSY, mirror-like smooth
ness, lcng a puzzle to scientists.
BuffaIos Held Cause.
From microscopic examination and
other evidence, Walter H. Schoewe be-
lieves the high polish resulted from the
rubbing and scratching of countless
animals. which also probably sought
sore degree of protection from heat or
ccld.
Because buffalo are known to have
rcamed this Kansas prairie in greater
numbers than cattle on the open range,
and because no traces Of animal refuse
were found near the boulder, Schoewe
thinks the "polisherS" were buffalo
rather than cattle.
Microscopic scratches on the surface,
Schoewe reported. were not similar to
thoce on other rocks identified as wind
polished. while the polished area Gid not
extend below point three feet from
the ground.
Only One Face Polished.
Tne boulder, whose extent below
ground is not known, measures approx
mately 10 by Is feet at the top On
every side except the polished one its
base extends out beyond the top. The
top Of the polished wall, however, ex-
tends about q foot beyond the base,
making it easy. Schoewe pointed out,
for animals to rub against this side.
Schoewe made no estimate of the
length Of time required to smooth the
boulder wall to its present gloss.

Suspending Assessment Work.
Seward Gateway.)

The suggestion by the Senate Mining Commit tee that assessment work be suspended this year for the purpose of relieving distress like closing down the factory to the employer from pay ing wages.
 Doubtless there many cases where pros- pectors might be relieved of burden through this suspension, but it would have opposite effect on unemployment when it is considered that more absentee claim holders would be involved.
 Instead of suspension of assessment work it would appear more logical to demand and encour- age its performance and thus give many idle men an opportunity to earn few dollars while at the same time press forward development.
 It is difficult to differentiate between individual claims. held by proSpectors and groups held by corporations etc. Under the suspension rules these latter could suspend operations where all work was being done a group through distinctive working
 Any step looking to the retarding of mining work would have detrimental effect in Alaska If nothing else, 1t would enable parties to hold large of ground without attempt to develop lit and thus deprive others of chance to acquire la holding.

It was first flown in battle in the Pacific by the U. s. Frigate "Esezp in 1813 and in the next year it inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner"
 Once, in 1794 when Vermont and Kentucky join ed the Union, the Stars and Stripes increased to 15; but in 1918 Congress fixed the final form of the flag of thirteen stripes, with star to represent each State. On April 6, 1909, Admiral Peary planted the first American flag at the North Pole. Since then Admiral Byrd has carried it to both poles. Wherever it has gone it has meant honor and achievement, but this year it floats in honor of the greatest of Americans and the great est of achievements-George Washington, and his creation of the United States.
