To Make Garden of
Eden Bloom Again

London.-The Garden of Eden
is to bloom again after centuries
of desert-like aridity.
A firm of London engineers ia
backing the romantic project
which at an estimated cost of
$5.6O0,000 will transform the
present barren wastes of the
traditional site of the Biblical
garden in Asia Minor into a
luxuriant Towering land.
Plans call for a giant dam
across the River Tigris. By con
trolling the flow of the Tigris
engineers expect to irrigate the
land so it will again be produc-
tive.
AS soon az the spring floods
have subsided. work on the dam
will begin. The whole project

Dear Margie:

Dear Margie:
Spring is here at last, even
though doubted it more than once
those rainy days last week
Winter is the season supposedly
for more important social events,
but they are still in full swing in
Smyrna High.
The leading event week before
last was the supper given in the
school cafeteria Friday evening.
This was grand success, and
some Of the leading citizens of this
section were to be seen. Many
parents of the students were here,
and quite a few were to be seen
looking around at the new building
after having eaten their supper.
| Last week there were two East
er parties given by the school one
for the Junior high school, and one
for the Senior high school. These
parties caused much comment, be-
ing the first to be given this year.
! At some future date, we hope
May 8, the Juniors play will be
presented. Although this play has
been postponed several times we
hope it will be success when we
/ do have it.
Declarations are over, and we
were very successful in the state
contest, having our representative
Clara Nancy Slaughter take sec
ond place. Jack Magill also was
successful in being third in the
discussion contest.
1 don't think we can kick right
now, anyway, that the school isn't
affording us any entertainment, be-
cause state exams are coming to
keep us busy both in and out OF
school.

a Perfect Afternoon

One very warm day last summer
i felt 1 could endure the heat no
longer, so 1 strolled lazily down
the narrow, winding path to the
cool stream by the woods. Here
/ knew I should find relief. I
seated myself on its mossy banks
beneath an old oak tree. / sat
there in deep thought and gazed
steadily into the clear and gentle
stream. Just above me, heard
the ripping notes Of flock of
birds, which soon vanished into the
heecy clouds. AS / sat there, lis
tening to the voices Of the distant
waterfalls and watching the dais-
les dancing in the breeze, entire
ly forgot my troubles and enjoyed
the splendors OF Mother Nature

IFS Suppose, and Butts

With the great hoe of success
full season we always have to con-
slider the ifs, supposes, and butts.
Will they hit? Can he pitch? It
it a good infield and outfield :?
These are the questions which al
ways bother the coaches.
To give you an idea of how
great chance we have, will give
a summary of some of our regu-
lars.
Magill, our catcher, has the abil-
ity of backstop, but the hit he finds
hard to get when it is needed.
Sevil, the dependable pitcher
will have it hard, with no relief SO
far in view. Last season was a
heart breaker. With his great
pitching, Smyrna always lost by
one or two runs which were re
suits of errors. With good in
field I'm sure Sevil will have a
100 per cent season.
Jones may cover first. Jones is
our Babe Ruth in size so let's hope
his eye will train like Ruth's.
Spence, our last year second, is
not trying this year, but we hope
to find some one who can fill his
place with the same amount of
ability.
At short we will probably find
Everett. We all hope Everett has
a start this year, because his bat
ting eye didn't see good until the
season was half over. Bob can
field with great success and is
dangerous to any pitcher when a
hit is needed.
Burris, our third baseman, has
the wing Of an eagle. When the
ball leaves third it is at first in a
half of second, but often they
are high wide and handsome. AT
bat Burris is our best. A double
or single is often given by him
when they are needed or not need
ed. He is heavy boy, and when
hS pdIS, 1Ic OPPOSLHS PiSNicio WiSI
he was on a strict diet.
In the outfeld will be found two
regulars, Ford and Boyd Boyd
the hero in many games, is one OF
the best fielders Smyrna High has
had. The greatest throw. of the
season of 1884 was one of his, a
pitch from center field to home
which came across the middle oi
the pan and knee high to keep g
Mr.. Foxx from scoring a run from
third. If Boyd was larger ht
would be leading in batting also
but weight is missing while his eye
is good.
Ford usually takes care of right
but last year he played little. W.
will expect things from Buck
because he knows what to do.
With al these regulars, Smyrn,
will win if they can hit, but tina
is the question.

Cause of Backwardness

Backwardness in school Is caused
more often by defective vision than
by the inability to learn. A recent
study shows that 63 per cent Of all
our school children are afflicted In
varying degrees with hypermetropia,
or farsightedness, which tends to
make reading difficult Moreover,
the same study reveals that only

SIDE LIGHTS OF
NEW YORK CITY
Told By L. L. Stevenson in
His Own Immical Way
of DOings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

After looking over a collection of
old prints and photographs in the
Museum of the City of New York,
endeavored to visualize the city a
hundred years from now. That was
q difficult task because New York
will be so different. It's safe guess,
however, that few, If any, of the
present structures will remain. Mod
ern apartment houses are built with
a life expectancy of fifteen years.
Modern skyscrapers might last
century were it not for continual
change. On Broadway, a modern II
story building was torn down after
a dozen years. Nothing was the
matter with it, but the site was
wanted for a much taller office build
ing. Homes also are impermanent.
The Vanderbilt chateau at Fifty
eighth street and Fifth avenue, if it
had been built in Italy, from whence
came the idea, would have stood for
centuries. In New York it lasted
only about forty years. Former
Senator William A. Clark built a
mansion on Fifth avenue that would
have stood for five hundred or more
years. 1t cost several million dollars
to wreck it after twenty-five years.
But it came down and an apartment
house now occupies the site, while
commercial structure stands where
the Vanderbilt chateau stood. New
York still has some Revolutionary
landmarks. But they grow fewer
as time passes.
Experts seem to agree that the
New York of a century hence will
be a much pleasanter place in which
to live in many ways. Just hap
pened to recall an article | read in
the Sun a year or so ago. 1t told
of skyscrapers much taller than
those of today, each occupying from
three to five blocks, but each with
plenty of light and air because they
will be surrounded by lower build
ings. There will be more parks also
and Central park will be extended
away to the north, the Sun said.
Parks will actually be a part of the
skyscrapers because the terraces or
set backs will be planted with flow
ers, vines, shrubs. and even trees.
With trees, there will be birds.
Think of q New York office worker
rolling away with the song of
1obin or a lark In his ears! Not
hard to believe. though. A start is
already being made. The eleventh
floor terrace of the RCA building In
Rockefeller center is being turned
] into a garden and penthouse dwell
ers not only have gardens Dut Ut
i tie trees.

Speak.

Speak well, and you will accom-
plish much. Acquire a loud voice!
Enunciate clearly all words so that
the person furtherest from you
will understand you.
Be able to face people and con
verse with them with ease. To
stutter and stammer, and blush,
are but childish ways that should
have been discarded long ago.
Now, in high school the art of
speaking is being practiced thru
debating, declamations, f1oor-talks,
and discussions Each one re-
quires the ability to speak well.
Where is a better place to learn
than in school? Debating has been
started to enable the student to
stand on his own two feet and ex-
press effectively the argument he
is trying to prove.
\ If these pulls follow up a career
that requires speeches, the schol-
astic work will have been of great
help to them. Lawyers, doctors,
and officials of the government
have to be able to put forth their
points and speeches with as much
force as is necessary for a man to
lift a heavy object.
To be leader, you must talk to
convince your followers that you
are right. How far would a man
get if he wanted 70 be a governor,
and could not tell the people what
he expected to do.
1t is not the speech itself, some
times, but the way it is delivered
that impresses the people. Be a
good speaker, and much will be
gain by you, and for you.
