DAY DREAMS

CO 31 31 EX D A 15 Li: I) KS IKE A LITTLi; frlrl sees a doll, and Inhtantly there comes a yearning In her heart to clasp the doll to her breast and rail it her own. She raises her delighted face toher mother and stretches out her chubby hands In pleadings that cannot be denied. A boy craves a Knife, and he holds to his wish until he pets it gratified. Then he proceeds boy-fashion to nick things, which he has been forbidden to cut and finally cashes his tinker. As the girl and the boy grow older their desires undergo a radical change. With accumulated experience and knowledge, they seek more substantial possessions, good opinions, or a particular place In the world where they may become conspicuous and powerful. " And thus all through life their deh'ires grow, assume new forms, urge them forward or backward, mold their character for good or evil and shape their destiny. The desire to do good Is the most ennobling thought man or woman can possibly have. It is the only desire that does not warp the soul with selfishness or destroy faith. To build up Images and to yearn for things which can be of no permanent use to us or to our fellow beings, Is but n waste of energy which ought to be put to better use. President Harding longs to bring peace to the world. Doctors and nurses desire to heal

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "MISSISSIPPI" "TWIOUGII every school child knows that Mississippi means "The Father of Waters," the fact that the word was originally spelled "Medio Sepe" is apparent only from a study of the Indian source. And even this is onJy an approximation of the way the phrase should be written, for the Algonquins had no written language which could be transplanted literally into English letters. The first form In which we lind the name of the river Is "Miche Sepe," suggested by Tontl and slightly closer to the present spelling. Father Laval stiJl further modernized It into Michlspl, which another priest, rather Labatt, softened into Misisipi. Since then, the only changes have been to overload the word with consonants. Marquette added the first "s" and some other explorer the second, making it "MIssissipi" the form In which it Is used In France to his day, with only one "p." The man who added the other has never been discovered, but he must have been an American for, at the time of Louisiana Purchase, the name was generally spelled In the colony with a single "p."

There is a growing wish everywhere among the enlightened to eliminate the parasite, by urging everybody to useful effort, especially the young and those inclined by reason of their wealth to waste their time in Idleness. What is your chief desire? Is it something of a selfish nature, agreeable or pleasure bringing, or something which will some day prove a lasting benefit and blessing to all mankind? There is one intense, compelling expectation in the heart of every human being which controls his or her life. What is yours? If it Is good, buckle on the armor of faith, put jealousy, selfishness and fear behind you and make yourself distinguished. (Copyright)

The little boy growing up In a good home believes everybody is honest and kind, and only after he frets out in the world is he bitterly disillusioned. And even after his years in school or in college, he finds himself expecting to be fairly dealt with In business, and is disappointed when he finds that this is not always to be it would, we believe, be a mistake to destroy the ideals of childhood. We ought to have ideals at some stage of our existence, and childhood is about the only time when they are not likely to be shattered. Iiut when you start out to fight the world for your living, the sooner you realize that you must at times meet with injustice and unfair dealing, the less likely you will be to cry out tliat you failed because every man's hand was against you.

Madeira Girls (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) Madeira, the island to which the former emperor of Austria-Hungary and his wife have been banished, might be said to lie In the Atlantic Ocean and the Middle Ages. And most interesting to Americans, perhaps, it was once the home of Christopher Columbus. Once one has penetrated Into the country back of Funchal, the only town of the Island that may be ealfcd a city, the simplest and most primitive of civilized conditions are found. Plows are merely the wooden beams tipped with a point of iron that Roman peasants used ; draft animals are oxen ; grain is threshed by being trodden out on old-fashioned threshing floors; and even in Funchal the most common means of conveyance Is the sledge dragged over cobbled streets by slowmoving oxen. But with all Its prlmltlveness Madeira is a land of great beauty and charm. It is considered by many, indeed, the modern version of the "Islands of the Blessed." It is situated in the latitude of Charleston, S. C, and the Bermudas, and Is about as far southwest of the Strait of Gibraltar as the Bermudas are southeast of New York. Madeira, though, is not a lowlying islet, but was once a huge volcanic peak, and has rugged mountam scenery comparable to that of the volcanic islands of the Pacific. In Its rich volcanic soil on the slopes of its peaks, and in the hot-house-like air of some of its deep valleys, almost every known type of plant can be grown. The Island has become a great botanical garden. It is only necessary to climb its slopes to pass from the growth of the semitropics to that of the temperate zone. Bananas and apples, tree-ferns and oak, oranges and pears flourish within a stone's throw of one another. Above three thousand feet where most of the cultivation stops the crests of the hills and mountains are covered with laurel and plr.e. Once Madeira supported dense forests of large trees. a fact which won It. its name, moaning "wood." Rut the early settlers fired the forests to clear the land and the later growth was for the most part of smaller trees and shrubs. Scenery Is Magnificent. The scenery of Madeira is on a ma.?nlficent scale out of proportion to the thirty-mile Island. One ridge rises to more than 0,000 feet, and one valley especially, Curral das Freiras, has the luxuriance and charm more to be expected of the tropical islands of the Fast. Steep rugged cliffs mark the greater part of the coast; and on the low ground about the occasional bays and widened canyons that open to the sea huddle tiny towns. Possibly Maderia and the few small islands which make up the group were known to the Phoenicians and later to the Moors and the Genoese ; but all records of their existence-unlcss vague legends be considered had been lost by the beginning of the Fifteenth century In 141 S or 1419 storms drove Portuguese mariners to the islands and they were therefor? the first of the numerous small Atlantic Islands to be discovered or rediscovered. Strangely enouzh It was little Porto Santo, not the relatively large Madeira, that was found. A colony was founded on the islet and remained many months before Madeira, only 23 miles away, ras discovered. Unlike the nearby Canary Islands where the native (Juanches had attained a considerable civilization, the Madeiras apparently had never been Inhabited !efore their discovery In 1419. The Islands were, in fact, given over almost solely to vegetation. No mammals or quadrupeds were found except a few bats and a species of rat. The only ther living creatures that

in Gala Dress.

( existed In this island paradise were a few birds. Through colonization Madeira and Porto 'Santo were soon peopled and today the former has n density of population nearly three times that of the mother country, Portugal. Then began the pouring into Madeira of the floral good things of the earth, a procedure which has made it a wonderland for botanists. Of primary economic importance was the Introduction of sugar-cane from Sicily. Soon a very Important sugar Industry had been built up. Grapes were brought In from Crete, and by the time of the American Revolution the famous Madeira wine had shouldered sugar from Its place of Importance. " Not a Prosperous People. In spite of the wonderful climate and soil of Madeira, its Inhabitants are not very prosperous. This fact is probably chiefly due to the marked density of the population, to the lack of an adequate educational system, and to the brake applied to initiative by some of the governmental and lis,cal regulations. Because of the pressure of population many of the young people have emigrated during the past few decades. Illiteracy is widespread. The people of Madeira have many strains in their blood. Italians, Jews, Moors, negro slaves, and English have all contributed elements, but the Portuguese have always been incomparably the most important factor, and the resulting men and women are undeniably dark, swarthy sons and daughters of Portugal. Members of the upper classes are courtesy Itself. After wine production, Madeira's most Important "industry" is its tourist traflic. For more than half a century the island has been the sun-parlor of the English, the white officials from the African colonies, and numerous Europeans. But to most of the tourists Madeira is Funchal, the Htt!e city of 20,000 population which nestles, gleaming white, in a bic amphitheater on the south side of the Island and which has many of the modern facilities which the outside world expects. Funchal's harbor is only a roadstead, but It is never deserted, for the city lies at an ocean cross-roads of the routes that lead between the Strait of Gibraltar and the West Indies and South America, and between S'uth Africa and England. And it had in pre-war days lines that plied directly to England, the Canaries, the Azores and Portugal. The precipitous streets of Funchal compelled the use of sledges Instead of wheeled vehicles In the early days, and these quaint and primitive vehicles are still In use. The motive power is usually supplied by oxen and some of the sledges are luxuriously fitted out with elaborate canopies. A thrill can be gotten from Funchal's primitive vehicles not surpassed by that from the racing automobile, fr it is customary In descending frm the hills to coast down over the cobblestones on small sleds with greased runners. One of the regular excursions for tourists in Funchal, even though they stay In the island but n few hours, is a trip to an elevation of 2,0 0 feet above the harbor by a .rog railroad and an exciting slide down. Walkers climbing the hills about the city regularly arrange to have "livery sleds" meet them at certain points on the heights that they may coast back to the lower levels. Funchal's cog railroad gives access to several level roads which wind about the faces of the hills back of the city affording excellent views of the city and roadstead below. Open ing upon these and farther up near the j terminus of the railroad are the show places of the city. In some of thee villa estates are to be found gardens of flowers and shrubs and trees whose beauty is probably unsurpassed anywhere In the world.
