Stonehenge Myatery to Students of the Pest Ancient and mysterious Stonehenge i Is located some nine miles from Salisbury, and near the little town of Ameabury, In Wiltshire, England, This circular formation of stones encloses what Is commonly called the Altar stone. What Its origin or purpose is time or research has not revealed, hut it Is obvtpusly connected with some form of observation of the sun, possibly sun worship. It Is generally be-1 . lleved to have been erected some 4,000 : : years ago, possibly by the tribe from | the Continent which brought the idea Jof cultivation of land to England In 1 the Bronze age. To the east of the ■Stone circle is the Hele stone or i Friar's heel, over which at duwn on June 21—namely, at the summer solstice—the sun rises when viewed from the Altar stone. Other pointed stones mark the rise of the sun at the winter solstice and sunset at midsummer. At few places In England can the thoughts run riot to such an extent as In this circle of immense stones standing In solitude overlooking Salisbury plain. Pictures of human sacrifice and heathen rites spring readily to the I imagination Baboon Formidable Foe , When Incited to Fury At night the South African baboon ( ls a timorous creature, and as Its sight in the dusk Is far Inferior to that of the leopard, the latter sometimes ; steals up to where the troop is sleep- I Ing, makes Its pounce, and escapes | with a shrieking victim. But the leopard does not invariably have the | .best of It. There are several well- , authenticated Instances of such a night . marauder being surrounded and torn to*pleces. Another enemy much dreaded by baboons Inhabiting the warmer ■ localities Is the rock-python. But there are Instances ofeven the python being destroyed by the combined fury of a troop. All snakes, whether poisonous or not, are equally feared by baboon*, This Is somewhat strange in view of the circumstances that the latter can at once distinguish between beetles that are wholesome and those that are poisonous, even though they may never ■ have seen them before. The hiss of a snake will reduce the most enraged baboon to a state of abject terror, and a dead snake placed in the vicinity of one will drive It almost distracted. “Spoiled” Child Handicapped Many parents feel that the first few years of a child's life are an unlm portant twilight before the real dawn of personality and utterly Ignore the importance of those early years for development, observes Clara Bassett In Hygela Magazine. Careful study of the spoiled child problem shows that such children do not outgrow their early habits, as parents often think they will. Muny of them go through life with these attitudes und then develop mental and nervous breakdowns when they find they are not equipped to meet bravely the vicissitudes and responsibilities of adult existence. New Invention A small boy hud watched a telephone repairman climb a pole, connect a test set and try to obtain connection with the testboard. There was some trouble obtaining the connection. The youngster listened a few minutes and rushed Into the house, exclaim ing, "Mamma, come out here quick. There’s a man up a telephone pole talking to heaven." “What makes you think he Is talking to heaven?” “"Cause he hollered ‘Hello! hello I hello! good lord, what’s the matter up there; can’t anyone hear?'"—Forbes Magazine. Echo M«a»ur«« Distance By nieuns of a new device to be installed upon airplanes, the aviator will be enabled to judge the distance to the ground very accurately. This device makes use of the echo of the exhaust explosions from the engine and even though the earth may be obscured by a thick fog the echo of the explosions, reflected from the surface of the ground, will tell the airman his exact height. This apparatus is of Immense value when the view of the earth Is cut off and ft Is said to be very accurate even when quite close to the ; ground. i ————— Sa Simple Mrs. Suburbs, who was absorbed In ; a romance <>f the Seventeenth century, : suddenly looked up at her husband. I “George,” she remarked, "listen to this: ‘By rny halldom,’ exclaimed Sir Percival, ‘lt Is past the hour of 121’ . Now, what Is a halldom. George?” ' “What do you suppose It is?" he responded. “Doesn't the context tell you? Sir What’s-hls-name said it was .past 12 by his halldom, didn't he? Well, I should have thought anybody .could have seen that halldom was the i{make of bls watch.” ' ____________ Sight Influence* Handwriting t If the average handwriting of a person with normal vision is taken as la standard, that of the Individual suffering from nearsightedness will be found to be much smaller and that of the farsighted Individual much i larger.

ACCUSER TAKES WITNESS STAND I Eunice Pringle Takes Stand In Effort To Convict Pantages Ix>s Angeles, Oct. 4. <U.R>— A petite, 1 quietly dreesed school girl of 17 wus ! scheduled to accuse the Pacilc coast's wealthiest theatre magnate of having assaulted her when she testified in his criminal trial here today. The girl, Euncie Pringle, former University of Southern California coed, will charge that Alexander Pantages, 54-year-old multi-millionaire, I maltreated her after he lured her to i his office on the pretense that he . would give her work on his vaudeville circuit. Since the sttae has withdrawn a | count of forceful attack it need only I prove intimacy to send Pantages to | prison, because Miss Pringle is a i nifner. But it was certain th p . j would tell the jury of six men and ■ six women that the assault was by I violence. I She was to be on the stand throughout the day and cross examination was expected to last well into Monday's session. | Mr. and Mrs. Joel Reynolds will leave tomorrow tor (Lima, Ohio, where they will spend the week-end the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rail ing.
