, and then the Hindu, with smile said, Now I'll tell you why had that frisky hen appear. "All of the midgets now mus, leave. We hope it will not make you grieve. The hen is going to take us home. We live far, far from here.
 "Your friend, the giant, owns us, and he often visits midget land. He was the one who put us in the eggs, where we were found.
 "Of course you Tinies didn't know those eggs were fakes, but that is so. And, now, goodby to all of you, cause homeward we are bound"
 Into the eggshell they all hopped, Said Dotty, T hope you're not stopped until you reach your des- tination. Thanks for all the fun.
 'I trust we meet again some day" And then the midgets moved away. It was a. sight to see, as the old hen began to run.

Wee ecouty was the next to try An eggshell ride. He shouted, T have been on frisky horses, so ! guess I'll be all right.
 "A hen can run away with me, hs you will very shortly see." s'Well, just the same" cried Dotty, s.you had better hang on tight"
 This time the wee lad proved his claim. Along the ground the biz hen came, and, as it passed the Tinies. Scouty waved his lit- tie hand.
 The eggshell tattered OCT a bump and Goldy yelled, My good ness, jump!' "Oh, mo-" said Scouty. "If do, upon the ground I'd land"
 When he had travelled round and round awhile, he jumped out to the ground and shouted, "There! I told you so! I think I'm pretty good.
 "Come on, now, Duncy, try your luck. You're always bragging of your pluck" wee Duncy prompt ly hopped right in and did the best he could.

Old Time Splendor Seen !, =
in Japan's AIRED Templel

1t seems that every important city
OF Japan has been the capital and
seat of government of the nation lat
some time in the $500 year reign of
the present imperial house; notes a
writer in the Chicago Tribune. =
Jimmu Tenno founder Of this old
est existing dynasty, who took over the
rule Of the country in $50 B. c., Is
buried in Nara province. Nara was
the first permanent capital of Japan,
but succeeding mikados have changed
the seat of government many times to
various cities. Moving the capital did
not cost the people so much in this
land of typhoons, earthquakes, and
fires as 1t would In countries where
government buildings are constructed
on a more costly scale with a view
to permanent occupancy.
At the height Of Its glory Nara was
rich in palaces temples, public build.
ings and residences of noble and
wealthy families It established arts
and crafts and encouraged literature
and religion. Many tokens of Nara's
former splendor still survive in the
magnificent temples and shrines erect
ed in bygone centuries, carefully pre-
served and Loyalty cherished.

British Isles Possess -
Most TEMPERATE Climate

The Bahama Islands, lying a few
hundred miles southeast Of the coast
Of Florida, were settled by Loyalists
from the United States after the Amer
lean Revolution, notes a writer in the
Montreal Herald The islands have
the most temperate climate In the
world and the crop season extends
throughout the whole year.
The land was at first divided into
large plantations using slave labor,
after the fashion Of the southern
states. Cotton and tropical fruits
were the great export crops while corn
and live stock were produced for local
needs. Cotton was abandoned after
a few years since 1t rapidly exhausted
the thin soil and with the abolition Of
slavery the land was gradually broken
up into small holdings, cultivated by
both white and colored farmers. :,
The big limiting factor in the aerf-
culture of these islands 10 the pe-
culiar nature Of the soil. Generally
speaking 1t is not more than a few
inches deep, with coral and other rock

TELLS HOW BANKS
AIDED PROGRESS
Economist Describes the Ways
Banking Institutions Have
Contributed to Develop
ment of United States

OMAHA, Nebr.-Privately owned
banking, despite it's faults, has served
America we'll. William A. Irwin. Pro
fessor of Economics, Waghburn Col
lege, Topeka. Kansas. declared In re-
cent address here on Banking in
Changing World"
under the leadership Of individuals
banking has helped to bring this coun-
try to foremost place In economic de.
velopment among the nations OF the
world" he said. "The small community
has been developed by the individual
bank. The frontiers Of America have
been pushed forward by the help and
counsel of the Individual banker. The
shocks of wars and depressions in
century and half have been withstood
with the assistance Of the individual
banker
Change May Be Necessary
ut may be that we have reached
tide in the affairs Of America when new
methods are needed. 1t may be that we
have come to a point where the ind1.
vidual should be submerged for the
greatest good of the greatest number.
ut may even be that complete cen
tralization Of the banking system has
become an economic necessity In our
complicated social life. But the banker
ought to be satisfied that these things
are so before he should give up his light
for the system we have known. We
came to greatness under that kind OF
banking; we should not give 1t up with
out unmistakable proof of the absolute
necessity of such a change"
The American Pattern
Professor Irwin said that the pro.
posal which has been advanced for CO.
ordinating banking operations in the
national interest under "a Supreme
Court for banking is typically Ameri'
can and ought to have the most seri'
GUS consideration of those elements
which are clamoring for political con-
troll. which is typically un-American."
1t is not wise, he said, to oppose changes
as such, but that bankers should "see
to it that change. If and when 1t does
come, shall preserve all that Is good in
the past and stick as closely as pos
sible to the American pattern OF
things"
Banking is properly conservative
profession, he pointed out, and should
cling to practices and principles OF
banking that are, and always havesbeen
fundamentally sound.
at il to its credit that SO large
group of its members never faltered,
even in boom times, in their allegiance
to those sound principles" he declared.
1--WE probably owe our salvation from
chaos to that fact"

First Tile From Scotland

The first tile laid in this country
were imported from Scotland in 1895
by John Johnston and laid in clay soil
on his farm near Geneva, N. Y. The
success of this venture prompted him
to import patterns and have tile made
by hand. In 1s48, neighbor, John
Delafeld, imported tile machine from
England. The success which these
men had with a horseshoe-sh shaped tile
soon encouraged the rapid spread of
tile drainage in this country. The
first drain tile ever used were prob
ably used in northern France about
1920. Not until England took up the
practice, however, were tile used ex-
tensively.

The Song "sw..t Adslins"

"Sweet Adeline" was written BY
Harry Armstrong and Dick Gerard
1t was published in 1903 after an ig-
nominous career as "Sweet Rosalie. -
While the composers were trying to
sell the song, Adelina Patti began her
farefell tour. A publisher suggested
the change In title. The song was
sold, but even as "Sweet Adeline"
failed to become hit. About that
time the Quaker City -Four, a vaude-
vile quartette. tried out the ballad on
q Broadway audience and stopped the
show. In a few weeks 1t was a ma
tional rage and since then over 2,000,-
600 copies have been sold.
