WISE WORDS
Once q wise man called Kahlil
Gibran wrote these wise words
"Your children are not your
children.
"They are the sons and duugh-
tiers OF Lies longing for
itself.
"They come through you but
not from, you,
And though they are Nth you,
get they belong not to you.
"You may giDe them your love
but not your thoughts,
"For they haze their oDn
thoughts,
"You may house their bodies
but not their souls,
"For their souls HUe in the
house of tomorrow,
(which you cannot UiSit, not
even in your dreams.
"You may stripe to be like
them, but seek not to
make them like you,
"For life goes not backward nor
tGrrieS 1Dith yesterday"
Do not boast that you "have
no interest outside your home, "
or some day you will bitterly re-
greet it. You should have interests
outside your own home. You
should live your own life, and not
only be willing to let your children
live theirs, but force them to do
so, in case they try to cling to
the home nest.
The greatest tragedy that can
happen to a mother is not a dead
child nor a busy nor an absent
One-but the child who never
learns to leave her side and take
his own place in life.

Speaker Byrns

The sudden and unexpected death OF Speaker Joseph
w Byrns of the House of Representatives from
the national scene figure long prominent in the
trys legislature.
The Speaker homely character, delightful in his
personal relations.
It was his charming personality well as his astute
mind which enabled him to control the oftmes turbulent
House.
STRONG AND FORCEFUL ON THE ROsTRUM AS
SPEAKER, REPRESENTATIVE BYRNs, WHILE
EVER MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT HE WAS
A DEMOCRAT, STILL PRESERVED AN IMPAIR
TALLY IN HIS RULINGS WHICH WON HIM THE
RESPECT AND AFFECTION OF HIS COLLEAGUES
ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE AISLE.
Coming at this time the death of the Speaker creates
deal of confusion and emphasizes the difficulties which
arise for any group when leader is removed.
All of the tact and ability Of Representative Byrns
were needed if the Congress to complete its pro-
gram and reach an adjournment before the Republican
National Convention meets
OnLv Nth the utmost utilization of his driving
force could the Administration haze completed its
program this week; it seems that either some
of the legislative program i haze to be abandoned
or short recesses iU haze to be taken through the
convention.
It was probably realization Of desirabity Of COM
petng the program at once that contributed to Speaker
Byrns' untmely DEATH
Representative Byrns felt heavily his responsibility
under the circumstances and had been working under
extreme pressure for some time.
The fact that his party had an overwhelming
majority in the House. instead Of making his task easier
brought with it additional complications.
Speaker Byrns sacrificed his health and his life that
the program to which he was loyal might be carried
through.

ace, contains 200 rooms and cere-

Some Of the old timbers cut by
the vanished Mesa Verde people
for use as beams are still in place.
A study of the tree rings in the
timber has given clues for the

glad my children have no bad

would feel if their children treated
their home like a boarding house

change their clothes and eat and
then off again. They don't even
take me to the movies, except
once or twice a month.

pect at least a little gratitude
from her own children? I hear

Yes, I'm a mother, too. And I
understand better than you know
for my lad has gone off on a
longer trail than your boy and
girl have yet to know, and it has
taken me many a hearbroken year
to face the fact that must carry
on alone.
MUST LEARN
But I've had to face it-and so
must every other mother. Whether
our children live or die, we must
let them go their own way when
the time comes. And we must
learn that they have a right to
60 their own way-and that we
who bore them have no right to
stop them.

Frustrated themselves.
We read in the Book of Books
that the Queen of Sheba heard
of the fame of Solomon, sud-
lenly arrived at Jerusalem from
her own country, astounded the
wisest and wealthiest of mon
archs with the abundance of her
spices, communed with him of all
that was in her heart, and was
herself lost in amazement over
the glories of his court and the
temple that he had built. Then,
like a dream at awakening, this
most illustrious and elusive of
royal ladies vanisheS from our
sight, and we ask whether, after
all, she was only dream.
That she actually visited Solo,
mon the Wise at Jerusalem we
have the word both of the Old
Testament and the Mohammedan
Koran. The tradition is that
Solomon, who had a keen eye
for pretty ladies, married her. At
any rate, she went to Ethiopia
with 5000 wagonloadS Of beauti-
full fabrics-silks and cloth of
gold-jewels, ivory and gold.
THE TRUE ARK
Solomon's son, Menelik, was
born in Ethiopia, and Solomon
would have chosen this son to
reign in Jerusalem. The difficulty
was Rehoboam, the recognized
heir to the throne.
To the claim of Rehoboam,
Solomon had to submit and, &C.
cording to this account of the
matter, he ordered each of the
Twelve Tribes of Israel to furnish
a thousand eldest sons to &C
company his own eldest son back
to Ethiopia.
The emigrants included Levites,
whose priestly office brought
them within the temple. They
resented the compulsion that sepa-
rated them forever from the
Ark of the Covenant, and they
entered into a conspiracy.
They compelled goldSmiths and
carpenters to make a copy of the
ark, six feet by two feet six
inches by two feet six inches,
and they then killed the work
men. The conSpiratorS stole the
true ark and substituted the false
ark in the Holy of Holes.
King Solomon learned of the
loss, but only when it was too
late. In vain, the Kings troops
pursued the fugitives. AS the
true ark approached, rivers dried
up and mountains split open and
the road was clear for the ark
to proceed.

NATIONAL PARKS

If you have been flirting with
the idea of a holiday tour through
the national parks, now is the
time to get down to real business
and prepare for just about the
incest holiday ever. With railroad
fares so radically reduced, there
is really no excuse to put off the
trip for another year.
There are 131 national parks
and monuments with a total area
of nearly $4,000 square miles, con
tanning every type of scenery and
holiday haunt. These areas are
scattered all over the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the Canadian border to
Mexico.
This year there is a new spot
to visit, the Shenandoah Park in
Virginia. Other areas are being
made ready for dedication, in.
Guiding the Mammoth Cave re-
gion and the Isle Royale National
Park in Michigan. So with mar
veIouS national parks situated all
over the country, there is one
within fairly easy reach of every
community.
WESTERN FAVORITES
The national parks of the West
are prime favoriteS with most va
cationists. Nature has endowed
this area so lavishly with a va
riety of wonders that it is a nat
ural and perfect holiday land.
Snow-topped mountain ranges on
whose slopes grow lovely, sweet
smelling pine forests, thousands
of lakes flower-filled valleys, ami
NAL preserves, all these are but
some of the wonders of the West
ern park areas.
The majesty and mystery Of the
giant redwoods, the roar of
tumbling waterfalls glimpSed
through leafy boughs, the geysers
and bears of Yellowstone are holi-
day delights.
There are accommodations for
every taste and purse. Large
