background of the theatre, with its
beautiful pageantry and its revela-

thrill of a championship battle in
the squared circle, there are two
mammoth speciality numbers, one
of which is said to eclipse in mag
nitude and splendor anything of its
kind ever presented ON the screen.
This is the Thousand Love Song
number in which Miss Davies leads
160 of Hollywood's most beautiful
chorus girls through dance routines
and spectacular scenes. Another
big speciality number is the "Coney
Island" set.
Wednesday and Thursday-"Isle
of Fury" South Sea island drama
based on one of Somerset Maugh-
ans stories. The island is re-
mote, having no connection with
the outside world. The picture
begins with the marriage of a
young girl and the man who con-
trolls the pearl trade; a storm is
raging outside, and two men are
washed up on the shore. One of
them is handsome, young and mys-
terious.

What Is Life To You?

A preachers life must be a ser
mon, while the joker's is a jest.
An old miser's life is money and
loafer's is rest. 1t is trial to the
lowyer. The doctors life is pa
tient who needs treatment. Many
a soldier knows it has been a bat
tie for him. To the teacher, life is
a school; it is a picture for an art
ist. 1t is a long and heavy grade
to the man upon an engine. Trade
is the life of a merchant, gambling
is the gamblers joy. Life is fall
ure to a fool 1t may be a heavy
burden to the man upon a dray'
but it is only long vacation TO
the man who loves his work. II
is an everlasting duty.
If I were bay, I should go to
sea and make my life a ship.
Life is only what you make It,
What is life to you?

THE OLD LOG SCHOOLHOUSE
BY w. D. Green, Clayton, Del.

All Well do I remember the
schoohouse built of logs
And the big twin oak that grew
beside the door.
The stream, where in the summer
time we waded, catching frogs
And the whippings that I used to
get galore.
That dear old log academy has
long since passed away;
Its pedagogues have long been laid
to rest.
And schoolmates too, are dead and
gone with whom I used to play
But their memory still fingers in
my breast.
Sometimes an old mate meets me;
With hearty handclasp greets me;
And we talk about thase happy
days of yore,
When we used to fight and scramble
And on the green grass gambol
Meath the oak that grew beside the
schoolhouse door.
Those happy days have long since
fled, and I am growing old;
My hair is thin and freely mixed
with gray.
And yet it seems but yesterday
since I with other boys
Around old Garman's schoolhouse
yard did play.
Since then I've seen both joy and
praise, but still those happy
days
Come stealing Ger my memory like
a dream,
And / in fancy see myself, a bare
foot boy once more
In the old log schoolhouse by the
Cypress stream.

The Land of Rubber

Our story of where rubber is
found takes us far into the inter-
ior of South America. Let US inn
agine we have taken a trip there.
We are in a secluded native vii
lage on the banks of the Amazon
River. This morning we are going
with the native boys to collect the
sap from which rubber is made.
The sun is just up when we start
out. Like the rest we carry a buc-
ket to dump the sap in.
At $50 o'clock it seems like we
have travelled for hours. The chat
ter of monkeys, the cry of birds
and many other animals make the
scene new and fascinating. Only
now and then do we get a view of
the sky which is a beautiful blue.
Look The natives are collect
ing the sap. Oh well, who can col
lect sap with all of this beautiful
scenery around him. Many of us
stand in one spot for minutes, with
out speaking, just looking with
mouths wide open.
The trip back to the village isn't
half long enough, but we are all
glad to get back. The hand OF
WEAKNESS had been spread over all
of us.
This new fascinating place is the
land of rubber. Wouldn't you like
to visit it sometime?

Does Education Prevent Wastes .

Does Education Prevent Wastes I:
Education is beginning to play
a very important part in the pre-
vention of losses and wastes.
Most losses are caused by either
ignorance or carelessness.
First of all; people think that
they are making profit on timb-
er because they get price which
is above the average for their
lumber; in the long run they sell
all of their timber and then the
question is; can their soil stand a
heavy rain? This is where the
waste comes in. They part with
one thing and lose just about twice
as much as they have gained.
Secondly; the natural resources
could be used to a greater advant-
age by putting the product through
a more refined method so that each
part of it may be put to some use.
Planning is a great saving de-
vice of which education is the
basis.

Snakes

Snakes make very nice pets if
you treat them right. If you feed
them regularly and care for them
properly you will soon find out that
they won't harm you.
Four years ago when we had a
Pet Shop, in Darby, we had sew
eral snakes. 1 liked one black
snake especially well. It was about
six feet long and about six inches
around 1t would wind around your
neck and go through the sleeve of
your dress and then around your
waist. We had the fangs taken out
so he couldn't bite anyone. It was
shiny black with an orange tint
running through its skin.
To keep this natural color we
had to feed the snake hard boiled
egg and milk.
The snakes often had a fight
with one another and we had to
separate them. They and the
monkey never got along together
because the monkey was afraid of
them. Just to tease the monkey we
would put a baby snake in a bag
then show Babe-the monkey
piece of candy or chewing gum and
put it in the bag with the snake
Babe would take the bag and reach
in for the candy or gum and when
she found out there was a snake
in the bag she would almost have
fits. She would squeal and chatter
and climb to the top of the cage.
There she would stay until some
one came in to the cage and re-
moved the snake. Then if he didn't
get hit by Babe he was lucky.
One night someone left the top
of the snake cage ajar and during
the night most of the snakes got
out. They were in the cellar and all
over the store. We never did find
all of the snakes. I believe there
are still some snakes in that cellar
but we never bothered to go back
and look.
We sold the six foot black snake
which to me was a great loss.
