THE DEEP FOUNDATION
80 deep la the foundation of the
•Blstlng social system, that It leaves
BO one out of It. We may be partial,
but Fate Is not. All men have their
root In it. You who quarrel with the
arrangements of society, and are Will-
ing to embroU all, and risk the Indis-
putable good that exists, for the
Chance of better, live, move and have
your being In this, and your deeds
contradict your words every day. For
as you cuuuot jump from the ground
without using the resistance of the
ground, nor put out the boat to seu,
without shoving from the shore, nor
•tt&ln liberty without rejecting obli-
gation, so you are under the necessity
of using the actual order of things, in
order to disuse It; to live by It, whilst
you wish to tuke away Its life. The
past has baked your louf, and In the
atrength of Its bread you would break
Up the oven.—Ralph Waldo Emerson.

1 The great need for the '•hurch will
keep the church alive. The world,
here and there, from time to time, has
tried the experiment of getting along
without It and has found that the
spirit as well as the body craved Its
dally bread, says the Philadelphia Pub-
lic Record. Church worship Is not re-
ligion, but its aim Is to satisfy the
appetite of religion, and the Individual
ahortcomlngs of the members of the
churches-are to be set down to their
•wa private account, not to the fail-
ure of the institution as a whole. A
world without religion would be a
world of sociul chaos, and those who
decry the Influence and activity of
Churches are usually those who wish
to lead their lives with their own will
for'ail their law and all their gospel.

Across the rolling hills of life
A friendly highway leads,
A road whose every wondrous mile
Is paved with noble deeds.
For any man this course begins
Where will and judgment meet,
Where solemn purpose points the way
And kindness guides his feet.
This highway is the only road
That leads to great success;
No other trail, no sidelong path
Will find true happiness. w
Though up and down its route may run '
It carries straight and far '
And gains at last that haven where
Life's great possessions are.
The youth who sets a worthy goal
And formulates a plan
Of progress that enables him
To serve his fellow man
Begins at once to know the joys
That glorify and bless
The lives of those who daily walk
The Road of Happiness.

! The Janalsche Zeitung, a daily
paper of Jena, Germany, has Just
celebrated the two hundred and fifti-
eth anniversary of Its founding. The
Boston News Letter, which Is said to
(w the oldest American newspaper,
•tad which was established by Barthol-
«mew Oreen In 1704, was thus founded
$1 years later than the German jour-
Bat. In Its entire history the biggest
'*atory" of the Janalsche Zeitung was,
doubtless, Napoleon's defeat of the
•Prussians at Jena In 1806. The han-
dling of news has gone forward with
igreat strides In the past two centuries
'•ad a half. But the same family that
founded the Janalsche Zeitung 250
.years ago operate It today.
In China an American stenographer
can "live like a lord," maintaining two
or three servants on his Income. • This
glad news Is brought by Col. R. M. C.
Ruxton of Peking. Supply and demand
make unskilled lubor work for a few
nickels a day In China's dense and
enormous population. But Ruxton
says the keen American brain Is in #>ig
demand over there, and well paid. The
East's reputed superiority over the
West In the matter of heavy thinking
doesn't seem to work out in real life'
as it does In fiction.

"The world Is so full of a number

A London doctor says, "To call a
man a martyr to rheumatism is as
fantastic as though we called a man
a martyr to delirium tremens. If we
get a disease we ought not to be pitied
as victims, but condemned as fools."

A dispatch from Warsaw says the

It does for all school endowments

WORLD'S SWEETHEART
Among other queries some 300 TalU
seniors were asked to name their fa-
vorite character in history. It is pos-
sibly significant that by far tlio
heaviest vote extended to any candi-
date from the roster of the world's
great was accorded to Cleopatra.
Their forbears surrendered to the
smiles of Egypt's queen in large num-
bers and the youngsters are still fail-
ing for her. The college boys might
have voted for St. Anthony, St. Vitus,
Jesse .James, Carrie Nation or Buffalo
Bill. They might have cast their bal-
lots for Abraham Lincoln, George
Washington or Napoleon Bonaparte,
but Instead of that they marked their
IJttle ballots for Cleo. The fame of
Cleopatra rests largely upon her ac-
complishments in love. She is usually
presented as a siren and her glamor
Is Inspired by the notables she had in
her train. With a couple of Caesars
and an Antony as part of her string,
she could 'boast of the most Illustrious
galaxy of sweethearts that any woman
ever owned. The Yale seniors, who
may get their viewpoint from the Fol-
lies, were properly impressed, says the
Los Angeles Times. It Ig denied that
Cleopatra was really beautiful apd it
is likely thut she would be unable to
break Into Hollywood today, hut she
was a clever and tactful conversation-
alist, a good listener and she knew
how to dress. She could wear her
millinery like the goddess of beauty.
What more could anyone ask? Cleo-
patra may yet have her marble coun-
terpart on the Yale campus.
Railroad crossing watchmen nil over
the country have been ordered to

Instance there is failure to exercise
proper precaution. As the railroads
propose to forward all numbir? to
state licensing boards, as evidence of
carelessness In car driving, it Is pes*
sible it may later be used by legisla-
tures for more exacting requiremeats
regarding ability to drive cars. Indeed,
It Is already predicted that drivers'
licenses will be Issued "conditionally"
which may be construed as meaning
that licenses will be subject te cancel-
lation for causes not' heretofore con-
sidered. The railroads1 are certainly
not going to all the trouble they are
without some definite purpose in view;

MORE IGNORANCE
This year's Romanes lecturer at Ox-
ford said that the young men of this
generation are more ignorant than the
young men of his own generation forty
years ago, but thut they also are more
Intelligent, if that Is true, the result
Is gain Instead of loss. Surely intelli-
gence and not mere informedness Is
the ideal for the mind. We are ac-
quainted through the Action of forty
years ago, and through biography,
with the type of man who wus very
well educated and carried a number
of different lines of information, most-
ly useless, at his tlnger tips, but there
was always a question about his gen-
eral Intelligence, says the Dearborn
Independent. Much that we used t«
call knowledge has become attic ac-
cumulations. Jt was far too respect-
able to throw awoy, so there Just
seems to have arisen a generation that
'begins with Intelligence and finds its
own knowledge In those fields where
Its work will be. found. The world
can afford to endure a great deal of
Ignorance of what It once called
knowledge, If In return It may have an
excess of intelligence.
coal mining. We Imprison, transport
and release a stupendous power in the
commercial use of explosives, a power
that combined Is almost beyond the
! Imagination. And yet we are unable
to control the explosive, human emo-
tion. So we have war, poverty, mis-
ery, broken hearts. Man has less
control over himself than he has over
anything else in life—even the climate
and weather.
Gen. Neville voiced a thought worth
holding when in a Flag day speech he
! said that the flag—symbol of Atnerl-
! can principles and Ideals—Is being
made every day by our acts and
thoughts. It has been handed to the
present as It was made in the past.
But what It will be tomorrow depends
on how Americans of today keep faith
with those of the past. The flag, with
Its glory.vis a heritage. To preserve
It, to cherish it, to maintain its pres-
tige in every way possible is un inher-
ited duty.
Those who are worrying about the
"diminution of the sun's heat" and the
"return of the Ice age," basing their,
apprehensions on a supposed change
In our climate, may be interested in
an Item of Information which comes
from Mr. Robert H. Richards, who for
'a good many years has compiled the
Elm Bud Calendar, annually published
In the Boston Transcript. Tills study
has now been conducted for a long
time and It appears that the new year
falls within the average of spring's
development every time. Varying
greatly In the date of hud and leut
development from year to year, the
average remains the same. This year
there was no change whatever in the
average figures. In other words, if the
"climate Is changing," the sensitive
elm trees nave not been able to find
It out.
Chance for ages has appeared to
the children of every third generation,
says Dr. Frank Smithies. He lsift
very keen for the theory that cancer
Is hereditary, however. His experi-
ments show that tke disease Itself Is
not hereditary, but that the organic
tissues of the third generation develop
Imperfections that ultimately yield to
cancerous growth. That's also true of
nearly all disease*, barring the dreed
germ of Infections. But we do Inherit
organic weaknesses, some of us—ten-
dencies toward the diseases that killed
our parents and grandparents. Learn
what yoUr ancestors died bf, and yoti
know what weak points you should
protect.
Our Indians have S,000,000 acres of
forests on their reservations, but only
IS,180 damage was' done to these
woods last year, Uncle Sam reports.
It's a safe bet that most of the fires
were started by lightning or white
men. The Indian Is careful—every
week of the year, not Just during one
week set aside by the President for
forest conservation. Be sure your
camp fires are out. Never throw away
a glowing cigarette or match In the
woods. We are headed toward a tim-
ber famine. The majority of forest
fires are due to carelessness. Remem-
ber the Indians nnd their flre record.
One big reason why American
finance gulns solidity while European
finance becomes more and more shaky,
is found In the fact that while the
continental states are printing paper
money, the American government Is
coining silver dollars.
One of the blessings of the non-
cnpitallstlc system is that in Russia
carpenters get 50 cents a day. But
when you say it in rubles it sounds
plutocratic.
The average boy does not dislike
water. He merely detests having It
adulrernted with soup in n wash bgwl.
Boy Scouts Organized
(Continued from Page 1)
He won the hoys at the very start ot
his talk, and they listened attentively.
Mr. Puller is a real enthusiast. He
said the Roy Scout movement is of
the 'greatest importance in that it de-
velops all that is good in the boy. He
Is associated with his playmates In
helpful and constructive work and
play durtng the most critical period
In life—the adolescent stage. He said
A boy is Just a bundle of energy and
enthusiasm and he must have an out-
let for It, and membership in the Boy
Scouts is the answer.
After hU brief but Interesting talk,
Mr. Puller asked that the boys piv-i-
( nt who wished to join the Boy Scouts
raise their hands, and immediately
hands shot into the air.
Joe Caldwell, also of Paris an I
scoutmaster of one of the troops there,
delighted the boys with his talk on
the real pleasures of scout work—
fishing, hunting, camping and wood-
craft—and told several stories of ac-
tual experiences his troop had lunf
during the past year.
Rev. Minor Bounds and O. \\\
Wheeler made short talks, after
which the boys were given an opimr-
tunlty to enroll. Forty-two names
of prospective members were secureif
and as soon as the detnl lwork in con-
nection with the organization is per-
fected the local troops will he offi-
cially recognized by the national or-
ganization.
A meeting of the boys who enrolled
and for many other who wish to be-
come members will be held at the?
Chamber of Commerce rooms next
Friday night, at which time the boy*
will be assigned to troops and they
will be given an opportunity to «lect
their troop leaders and begin aftive
work.
The meeting was presided over by
Melvin Marx, chairman of the boys'
work committee of the Rotary Club.
A majority of the members of the
Rotary Club were In attendance a*
veil as a number of other interested
* (
citizens.

join the Boy Scouts are Felix An-
