FAMOUS SPA

One of Europe's beauty spots is
Bath, England's premier spa
Many travellers familiar with all
of Europe's capitals and baths
have never visited Bath, but who,
ever has gone to the West Country
has fingered there and returned
time and again.
The principal fame of Bath is
founded on its hot springs, which
for countless ages have poured
forth their increasing stream OF
health-giving waters.
In the year 81 A D., the health
loving Romans erected magnifi'
cent thermae and noble temples
at what was named by them
Aquae Sulis, and for four centuries
it was a great and important spa.
After the withdrawal of the Ro-
mans from Britain the baths were
allowed to lapse into ruin, although
they were used by the Roman
British inhabitants until the de-
struction of the city by the Saxons
in SIT.
LONG BURIED
For centuries the magnificent
thermae and temples remained
buried. In fact, the great Roman
bath was not uncovered until 1882.
The original pavements surround
ing the great pool are perfectly
preserved as are the pipes which
carried cold water to be used as a
spray or for drinking purposes
from a distant cold spring.
There are also smaller baths
and a series of heating chambers
similar to the modern Turkish
bath. The great culvert built by
the Romans for carrying off waste
water from the baths is still used
for its original purpose.
Next to the Roman baths. Bath
has pride in her magnificent
abbey, a perpendicular building

CAPITOL GHOSTS

Kenneth Romney, jr., son of the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of
Representatives, was called upon
to make a radio address as Capt.
toll guide. He fondly imagined
that he would be asked to tell
what there is to see in the build
ing. Instead, the director of the
program said:
You'll talk about the ghosts
Of the Capitol"
What ghOSts?" retOrted Mr..
ROmney.
"Oh, don't worry about that"
came the reply.
Several days before the broad
cast came a nicely typed script
from the New York headquarters
of the broadcasting chain contain
ing information about three ghosts
haunting the Capitol. It seems
there was a demon cat, a Black
Jack Logan and a British soldier
ghost.
Although Kenneth is a Capitol
guide and has lived here most of
his life while his father served
as an officer of the House, he had
never heard of them.

PAYMENT at Last

June Is will be great day in the lives of the millions
of men who served in the Army of the United States
during the World War.
And will be great day in the history of this country
FOR, ON THAT DAY THE AMERICAN GOVERN
MENT WILL PROCEED TO DEAL JUSTLY WITH
ITS PRESERVERS BY ADJUSTING THE MISER-
ABLE COMPENSATION WHICH IT PAID ITS SOL
DIERs SAILORS AND MARINES DURING THE BIG
STRUGGLE
Long and unnecessarily delayed has been this move
toward fair treatment of the veterans it is matter for
rejoicing that the step has at last been taken
Those who are entitled to the bonus which will be dis
trbued next month should speedily conform to the regu
latinns governing payment of the bonds.
The Hearst newspapers fought vigorously to have the
veterans paid in money which promised them, money
which the men needed and money which it was blot
on the record of the country to withhold from them
The success of that fight after many years is event
of which the Hearst organization is proud
We believe that not only will the UeterGns be bene
fitted by receiving their adjusted compensation at
this time instead of years from Uen many of
them will be dead, but believe that the entire
country will respond economically to the wise e1-
penditure of the money at this time by the UeterGnS
Many of the veterans will hold to the bonds which
the Government will issue to them next month for an
indefinite period
We wish it possible for all Of them to the
money which they will thus receive.
Unfortunately many OF the Ueterans are in pitia
BILE need at present.
To them the money will come like mama from
HeGUen.
They need the money now to meet urgent demands,
many of them to buy the simple necessities which pre-
serve life.
BUT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VET
ERAN IS IN NEED OR IS LIVING IN PLENTY, THIS
MONEY IS HIS, RIGHTFULLY EARNED AND

is essentially a Georgian city and
architects come from all over

and civic planning. Handsome

HISTORIC PLACE
Bath has touched England's
history and her literature at so
many places that a visit there
becomes something of a personal
pilgrimage if one is interested
in history and literature. In one
of the houses in the Circus, which
has been described as the finest
piece of architecture of its kind
in Europe, the Earl of Chatham
resided during some of the most
eventful years in England's his
tory. In another house Gains
borough painted most of his IA
nous pictures. In another house
Give of India had his home.
Thackeray and Livingstone. the
explorer, also lived in the Circus.
Sir Isaac Pitman, inventor of
shorthand; Wolfe of Quebec, Ed
mond Burke, Richard BrinSley
Sheridan, Jane Austen, Dickens,
Macauley, Oliver Goldsmith and
Herschel, the astronomer, are
just few of the famous who
found Bath the ideal spot for
their home.
For beauty of surroundings, we
can think of few spots more
happily endowed than is Bath.
The winding valley of the river
Avon, the side valleys and
combes, Mendip hills, the Cots
wolds, the downs of Wiltshire.

One-dreaming of how it will
seem to be really in love at last!
Yet all the time the answer is
inside herself. All the time she
is building within herself, within
her character, this love for which
she waits.
For there's the truth about love
truth so simple and inevitable
that most of us won't accept it,
expecting and preferring fairy
tales instead.
Love isn't something that hap
pens to us.
Love is something that happens
in us.
OUR OWN PATTERNS
Love is something we create for
ourselves, out of our dreams and
desires, our hungers and humilia-
tions, our feverS and furies. Deep
inside us, day by day, hour by
hour, we build our own pattern
of love-creating it to suit our own
need, to meet our own necessity, to
fit our own capacity.
Then some day, something or
someone happens, and we cry, I'm
in Lowell" But love was in us long
before we were in love. And our
love will only be as big and brave

selves at the end of fall to a
level which all the brains nd in
struments of the United States
Weather Bureau couldn't locate,
but which the bugs know in ad-
vance.
Late discoveries about the IT,
year locust would make a fas-
cinating book, or perhaps many
books. The female has neat
little saw attached to her alb
domen-not an accessory but
standard equipment. With this
she saws holes in tWigS, making
tiny bug snug cupboards for her
eggs, in double rows. Emerging
from the egg, milky white with
bright red eyes, the locust is
wrapped in imitation cellophane
which looks like an authentic
product, but with no royalties for
anybody. They sing four-part
songs, the Pharaoh note" sung
by the males, providing a SuS-
tanned bass.
The naturalists don't seem to
know much about just why the
bugs behave as they do-no more
than the sociologistS know just
what motivates Euror can states
men. But the insect songs and
the woodcock's warbling are pleas
,anter in the summer sky than
the roar of war planes. and it Is
nice to think that we don't want
any part of that overseas argu-
ment.
A non sequitur perhaps, but
somehow unacceptable. Poison gas
kills even singing cicadaS and
tumbling woodcockS.
