was being carried on. Peoples in

were skilled in the art of blending
water and perfumed oils. Only in

Recalls Past History.
Together (and they are insepara-
ble) with many other intimations Of
disaster they form a great wave Of
history such as destroyed Carthage
and brought about the fall of Rome.
They represent a revolutionary
change in world society as great as
the disappearance of feudalism or
the Inauguration of the Industrial
Age and the rise Of the British En-
pire.
There is no way Of dissipating
the wave, confining it or order
ing it to cease. The best we can
do is to put out stout anchors
against the storm, adjust our
selves and hope to survive as
people do in a hurricane.
The wave is everywhere evident
in the Orient. the Near East, Russia
and Europe. To fling ourselves
against it, to think that we can buy
off or even postpone its approach is
simply a folly by which we weaken
our own forces. Unfortunately, per-
maps tragically, the responsibilities
for our defense are largely in the
hands of men who still are thinking
in the idiom of an age which is al
ready past and will not return.
Withstanding the Wave.
It is possible that we, as a nation,
may be able to stand as rock in
the path of that oncoming wave. sur
viving it as Rome survived the wave
which swept her world as barbaric
Carthage challenged her power and
security. We shall not do so if we

Money will not cure the despair

permit the miner to relax a little
more before the final catastrophe
which may enguf US as well. It is

Letters and packages destined Tor
that community were sent to the
Redwood post office, then left at
Claiborne as he went through the
village on his route. At the same
time, he would pick up outgoing
mial and take it back to his home
office to be sent on its way.
Mail To Front Door
But now, folks in Claiborne are
putting up rural boxes in front
of their homes, so Mr.. Shoup can
bring the mail to their doors.
