soldier of the common good After he was
gone-his life began to grow in radiance and
power, like beacon set high upon dangerous
shore In the twilight of his days he wrote what
like to think was his creed--and mine: I'm
going your way, SO let us go hand in hand. You
help me and I'll help you. We shall not be here
for very long, for soon death, the kind old nurse
will come back and rock us all to sleep Let us
help one another while we may"
"A /HAT far cry this is from the philosophy
Wv that Money is everythingr' Yet how can
one make those who are blind to the charm Of
a life lived with ideals see? In the case of my
friends feel that they will see So must millions
of other married men and women. A man and
woman, standing together, is the noblest work
of God. Is it they who build communities-they
who must save the world from materalistic
chaos-and only love and ideals will do it!
No amount of money will make man love
hard woman and no amount of money will make
a woman love a cruel man-likewise no amount
of money will make children happy with indif-
ferent parents.
1t is not the money which causes chaos and
unhappiness, but the love Of it to the exclusion
of all else.
WE MUST BUILD HOMES, COMMUNITIES,
CITIES AND STATES WITH IDEALS! We
must see the stars as well as the earth!
Remember "The Prophet" by Horace Trau-
bel? Here it is:
HE said, see.' And they said: He's crazy;
cruelty him. He still said: I see.' And they
said: He's an extremist! And they tolerated
him. And he continued to say: I see.' And they
said: He's eccentric And they rather liked
him, but smiled at him. And he stubbornly said
again. I see.' And they said There's some
thing in what he says. And they gave him half
an ear But he said, as IL he'd never said 1t be-
fore: see.' And at last they were awake and
they gathered about him and built temple in
his name. And yet he only said: I see.' And
they wanted to do something for him. What
can we do to express to you our regret? p He
only smiled. He touched them with the end Of
his fingers and kissed them. What could they
do for him? Nothing more than you have DONE
he answered. And what was that? they wanted
to know. You see,' he said, that's reward
enough; you see, you see'"

~ RISING SUN, swing wide your gate,
" Most joyous hand of kindly Fate
Has carried me across the sea
T. the land of rice and scented tea
Threshold of the mystic East,
Where embroidered dragons sprawl anc

On silk kimonos in the stores
Wage filmy. fierce chromatic wars.
My ship is lying in the Bay -.
And through the mist of breaking day
The perfect cone of Fujyama
Looks proudly down on Yokohama.
A thousand sampans swarm around
My ship; above the engines pound
I hear the sound of temple bells
Across the seas unsteady swes,
And gongs-the clap of wooden clog,
Strange sights and noises that befog
My brain, and beat rhythm, just the shade
For scarlet, thrilling escapade.
In retrospect, feel the glow
OF living life in Tokyo
l hear the samsen's soft twang
I see a Geisha girl who sang
For me. and danced with fragile grace
Across screen of foamy lace
Like ivory carved with faultless care,
AS lovely as the maiden there
A poem on a silken fan,
A subtle touch of old japan.

What spirit they immortalize
For once they marched into the dawn
To meet the hordes of Kublai Khan,
And to the glory of their clan
They fought they died, for old Japan.

Lightning is nothing more than an
electrical discharge between two
bodies in which there Is large diff
ference Of potential, says writer
in the Montreal Herald. Clouds are
usually considered as being static
charges Of negative potential, while
the earth is considered to be posi-
lively charged. When sufficient
voltage or potential has been built
up in either Of these bodies to over
come the resistance of the air gap
between them there Is fash which
we call bolt Of lightning. Since
objects on the earth's surface, such
as buildings or trees. lessen the dis
lance between the two bodies they
are likely to be struck; they offer a
path Of reduced resistance. There
is no doubt that in the great ma
jority Of cases Of forked lightning
the fash appears to the observer to
be coming earthward and strikes
from above.

Dog Days Traced to Egypt

Dog days, so often misinterpreted.
60 back to ancient Egypt for on
the Nile the star Sirius manned in
honor Of the dog) denoted the hot
food season. It's rise was the signal
for lowlanders to move to higher
ground. The fact that Sirius rises
in the summer has brought dog days
to mean something entirely differ
ent. This oft-recounted story has
counterpart in the tale of Maera.
the dog Of Icarus. After disclosing
to Erigone the place where her MUIR
dered father lay, Maera died Of
grief. For his faithfulness Maera
was rewarded by being taken up
into the heavens and becoming the
constellation CAMS. This Is the
Greek version Of an earlier Baby
