the tendency to talk without sufficient
movement of the lips seldom is az &C
which is expressed articulately The
person who is careless with enuncia-
ton is apt to be careless in mental
processes also.
The person who thinks straight de-
sires to have his thoughts conveyed
in understandable sounds to his hear
ers. He Is as selective Of his words
/, as he is distinct in his utterance. Un-
less he properly enuciates, his indis-
tinct and indistinguishable vocabulary
| clouds his hearers perception of what
he Is trying to say.
To be articulate is Of great impor-
tance. Each person has to be unless he
expects to be misunderstood. Unless
meaning is actually grasped by the
person who hears the spoken words. the
speaker IS liable to be misquoted as
well as misunderstood. Many are the
strange and distorted ideas which are
promulgated by the person talking,
simply because he does not enunciate
distinctly and is as careless of the way
he expresses thoughts as he is of his
enunciation. Such a person is men,
tally and physically inarticulate
Those who listen to him are prevented
from graSping his meaning. He suffers
from being misunderstood.
In families much misery is caused by
carelessness in making ones self artic-
ulate. A husband, hurrying off to busi-
ness, leaves the house with sentences

STONE TREES.

STONE TREES.
M OST parts of the State Of Ari-
MI Zona are high and dry; but we
V have reason to believe that
i this was not the case vast ages
ago. Scientists give proofs
that Arizona land was low far back in
time, and that much of 1t was covered
by water.
Among the proofs are fossil trees.
which have been found in Arizona. In
some cases the roots and lower parts
of the trunks are in the position in
which they grew. Other parts of the
| trunks, and portions OF the limbs, are
lying on the ground.
Wonder of wonders, the trees have
turned to stone! In an old myth, we
read of King Midas who could turn
things into gold. In the real world OF
Nature, trees have been changed from
wood to rock.
For this to take place trees had to
grow on dry land; and then the land
had to be covered with water.
In the Mississippi River, have seen
living trees nearly covered by water:
but this was due to the spread of
flood waters. The Arizona trees were
covered by the water of great lake
or sea, and they remained under it
until long after they were dead.
While under water, the trees were
"petrifled" By slow process, the wood
was eaten away and silica was left in
its place Bit by bit. the water put
silica where wood had been.
Thousands and thousands Of years
passed by. Pressure in the earth's
crust pushed the surface upward The
water was drained away Now the
hard, stony trees" are there for us
to see!
We measure the trunks and find
that some of them are between and
feet thick We measure pieces Of
certain trunks and add up our figures:
then we know that some of the trees
were at least so feet high.
Arizona is not the only place where
stone trees are to be found.

Being Articulate in Expression
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

ears. What the wife said may have
been all right, nothing to rankle in the
memory, but words were rot spoken
clearly enough to be distinguishable.
Perhaps one thing could be meant,
perhaps another. Or it may be the
wife who is worried all day long by
something she thought her husband
said. Simply because he was inarticus
late and she did not grasp his mean
ing, she brooded through the long
hours of the day over a supposed sig
ni1cance. In either case each is ready
and If each Is not lenient, trouble is
brewing.
Children should be helped to think
clearly and enunciate distinctly so that
they grow up without the handicap
Of being inarticulate.

"Of great interest to the ma

A Lifetime Possession
A Lifelong Investment

A home is not only the worlds
greatest investment in satisfac-
tion and happiness, but of all
the necessities of modern life,
1t is practically the only posses
sion that can be used and en-
joyed for a lifetime, and then
passed on for the use and en-.
3oyment of our descendants.
Food lasts but for a day!
Clothing wears out or becomes
useless or out of date in few
short months! An automobile,
regardless of its cost or make,
depreciates the moment it leaves
the dealers showroom and lasts
but a few years at the most;
but a home, if carefully Sc
lected and rightly located, be-
comes more valuable, at least
intrinsically with the passing
years. and may become the
cherished possession of our chill
dren and even our children'S
children.
The possession of a home re-
pays many times over the Sacri-
fices and privations which may
have to be made to obtain 1t.
It becomes the background OF
true family life. In it are
recorded the high points of hap
piness and sorrow, the love
and laughter, the comedies and
tragedies, the births and deaths
of those whom earth holds most
beloved. ...-
What memories are stored
up in the old home! The
whispers of old loves! The echos
of baby laughter! The nerri-
ment of happy holidays! The
joyous meetings and fearful
partings! Could any amount
of money buy these sacred
memories?
