The Burial of Moses
Bv MRS.

BY MRS. ALEXANDER
BY Nebo's lonely mountain
On this side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave.
And no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw it e'er;
For the angel of God upturned the
sod,
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the trampling
Or saw the train go forth.
NOiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on oceans
cheek
Grows into the great sun.
Noiselessly as the springtime
Her crown of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves
So, without sound of music
Or voice of them that wept.
Silently down from the mountain
crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle.
On gray Bethpeor's height.
Out of his rocky eyrie
Looked on the wondrous sight.
Perchance the lion, stalking,
Still shuns that hallowed spot,
For beast and bird have seen and
heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muffled
drums,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won;
And after him lead his masterless
steed,
While peals the minute-gun.

mo able-bodied men or women
should be given money unless in re-
turn they give to State or nation
constructive service" he declared.
OF rural credit, he said, "the far
mer cannot prosper unless he has
an available reservoir of credit at
reasonable rates. He has no
desire for subsidized credit or a type
of credit that would have a tendency
to socialize the land.
Few governmental departments
have rendered greater service than
the Farm Credit Administration" he
added.
Taber commended the Roosevelt
administration, the Department of
Agriculture and the A. A. A. for the
efforts being made to develop a
longtime agricultural program.
There have been complaints of
too much delay, too much red tape
and too much arbitrary authority
from Washington In some of the
programs adopted" he said.
But when we think of the task
of trying to guide and direct the
production of millions of indepen-
dent farmers, the magnitude of the
problem is so appalling that we can
overlook mistakes made and hope
for the simplification and develop
ment of non-restrictive and less
burdensome methods during the
years that are just ahead.
1.-The three A leaders" Taber con-
tinued, "are to be especially COM
mended for submitting their corn
and hog program to a referendum.
Rightly, the American farmer
will never submit to governmental
dictatiOn. He can neither be regi-
mented nor cOerced except during
periods of terrible emergency"
Of subsistence homesteads, he
said, 'the idea has place in ma
tional life.
Apparently the time has come
when the course of 5000 years is to
be reversed, and people from the
city helped in a movement
back to security and independence
upon the land"

 care of the government, the in- fants' welfare is in the hands of four guardians: Oliver Dionne, their grandfather; Dr. Dafoe, W. H. Alderson, chairman of the Northern Ontario Relief Com cission, and Kenneth, Morrison, merchant of Ca1Iander.
 These guardians have obtained funds to build the hospital. At present the cost of caring for the children is about $150 week. The government of Ontario is SUD- plying food and medical goods for the Dionne household.
 The Red Cross pays the sal aries of nurses, one orderly and a housemaid. Mothers milk is be- ing provided free by Dr. Allan Browns hospital for sick children in Toronto and the Royal Vic toria hospital Tn Montreal.

TRENCH PHONE
 WAS ORIGINAL
Cradle Type Invented ill United States in
 1878

Washington-OP is a French phone" not French phone" Never, says John A. Re- mon, general manager of tEe Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone company. ~e
 The cradle type telephone. gem erally believed to have originated in France, was invented by Robert G. Brown, chief engineer of the Gold and Stock Telegrahp Com pany of New York City, two years after Alexander Graham Bell first transmitted speech over wires in 1876. Brown received a patent for 1t here in 1880.
 In that year he went to Paris to establish a telephone exchange and carried his hand set with him. There it was used by both tele- phone subscribers and operators.
 The familiar desk set used ex- tensively in this country until re- cently was invented in 1884. For many years telephone engineers experimented to combine the ad- yantages of Browns set with those of the desk set. This task was completed in 1926.
 Since then hand sets gradually have been replacing the old type sets throughout the country and it is said telephone equipment manufacturers are now turning out the "cradle". or French |. phones almost exclusively.

RURAL SCHOOLS / FACE NEW PLAN
Legislature May Decide Fate of Little Red
 SChOOlhOuSe

Topeka, Kan, (UP)-The little red schoolhouse" still plays an im- portant role in Kansas life, but whether it should not be discarded for the consolidated system of ru- ral schools is a question the state legislature may have to decide. A survey of rural schools and school districts, made for the leg islature by Camden Strain, research director of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, as CWAt project. revealed interesting facts. Strains report recommended consolidation of at least one-third, if not all, of the 2,196 weak" school dis tricts.
 The report revealed salaries of rural school teachers have fallen to new lows. Hundreds received but $40 or $50 a month, and two districts paid but $20. Several paid $25 or $50 for their teachers.
 There were 99,S16 pupils en- rolled in one-room schools, with the average IA to school. Aver age cost per year a pupil was $71.55. More than 300 school dis tricts last year levied no taxes for education, the survey said, and while 262 school districts did not open their schools last year, all but three made provision for pu- pilse to attend schools in other dis tricts.
 Enrolment in ss per cent of the school was 10 or less. Six schools had but onepupil each and 26 had but two each. Five or less were enrolled in 449 schools.

quintuplets for two years or more.
 pr Dafoe, who preferred that the new hospital be built near the Dionne farmhouse, instead of in the neighboring village of Callan- der or in Toronto, says, The ba- bies might not have pulled through anywhere else. Apart from our lack of scientific equip ment at the start, the conditions here are almost ideal.
 "The air is pure. We have very little infection. Immature babes such as the quintuplets have barely any resistance. A stray germ might have taken them off within a few hours if the air had been contaminated.
 For that reason I felt they should stay within few yards of where they were born"
 Hard Road to Be Built
 Provinc1a 1al authorities have promised that a hard road will be built connecting the homestead with Callander 1-2 miles away. The Ontario Hydro Electric Commission is to erect poles to bring electric current to the new hospital and telephone connections are to be installed.
 The hospital will have the lat est in burglar alarms and two spe- cial constables have been sworn in to give 24-hour protection 10 the quintuplets.
 Dr. Dafoe admits he is pleased with the progress the babies have made. Asked if they were flour ishing as well as might be expect ed, he answered, Better"
 But" he added, "our guard must not be relaxed for d mo- ment. We must maintain an ab- solute embargo on germs"

 Istanbul, Turkey (UP)-Ameri- can claims of an estimated total of $2O,0OO,000 are being handled by the American-Turkish M ike d Claims commission which, after finishing preliminary work, has just started it's regular meetings.
 The claims are based on loss to life and property. to American citizens, or concerns, from war measures of the Turkish govern ment.
 No counter claims of Turkish citizens against the United States government have come to the knowledge of Fred K. Nelson (of Washington, D. C.) American Commissioner, who is collaborat- ! ing with East Bey of the Turkish Foreign Office on the settlement. Owing to non-ratification of the Lausanne Treaty by the United States, the commission, after a delay of ten years, could start to work only last year under the agreement, signed in 1882. An exchange of preliminary briefs has gone on for about one year.
 The period, in which claims had to be presented othe commission, expired on February IS. 1884; sup lementary evidence. but no new claims, may be filed until Aug. 15. Present deliberations concern mainly the procedure to be fol-

 Three of the five babies are not yet mature" = that is, they do not measure up to the standards of a normal child at birth. Within 10 days,t if all goes we'll, this condition will be reme- died. Then the htree. must be re- moved from their joint incubator to individual ones.
 Marie, the tiniest, who weighs only four pounds and ,one-quarter ounce and who was given a ra- dium treatment for leg tumor, must remain in the incubator for five weeks more, accord ing to Dr. Dafoe. In the incuba- tors, air is kept at 55 degrees humidity and the temperature at 75.
 Yvonne and Annette, each with an incubator of her own now, will be graduated to small enameled beds in their new home.
 Although the improvised nur- sery in the Dionne farmhouse has been outfitted with hospital equip ment, instruments for registering humidity, oxygen machine, etc., it is badly crowded and there is con- stant danger of accidents.
 Hospital to Cost $5OOO
 The hospital-to be known, as the Dafoe hospital = will stand 100 yards from the Dionne home stead. Furnace, electric light; plumbing, and every device known to hospital technique will be in- stalled. With only nine rooms, it will be, in a miniature, a complete baby hospital. It will cost $5000.
 The Canadian Red Cross and the government of Ontario will see to it that everything about the building is the last word in scientific development.
 The building will be one story. The largest room will be the hos pital ward. 1 5 by 25 feet, at the front. Back of this will be the office and reception room, com
