. GREAT IMPORTANCE

Tbg_gu Qne of World's - ‘Best-Known Streams.

| Washington.—The Thames, one of | the Dest-known streams in the world, .went on a rampage recently and gave 1 thie Tesidents of the usunily peaceful {valley sights Pamiliar to those who live {ialong such old bands at flooding as jthe Mississippi, the Seine and the Yellow river of China. Chicken coops and dog kennels, garden furniture, and .even bungalows, swirled along where {Bngland’s holiday crowds normally 'play -‘on a gentle little river. e |- ‘What the Thames is like ordinarily iis told in a bulletin from the Washing. iton (D. O.) headquarters of the Na- | ‘tional Geographic society. “The Thames seldom has very de- | structive floods,” says the bulletin, “It-has no mountains in its basin, only gentle hills, and the run-off is usually slow. It 1s rather a 'small river, as rivers \go, only 161 miles long with a - drainage basin of about 5,000 square miles. The Danube is ten times, the | Miassissippi fifteen times, and the | Rhine “mere than four times as long. Beside the milllon and & quarter square miles drained by the Mississippl, or even the 75,000 square miles drained by the Rhine, the Thames -basin'seemis almost insignificant. . - Grows Quickly. ~ “The birthplace of de Thames 18 only about 20 miles sfirt of the sea on the western side of England, northeast of ,Bristol and Bath. A small spring formerly gushed up at what Is fnown as ‘Phames Head' and trickled in %%zj little vill down a meadow. The outflow of this head spring is now piped away to furnish water for the * THaines Bnd Severn canal. But springs abound iu this region, and about half a ‘mile down the meadow the infant Thames is to be seen in the shape of ‘a Mitle runnel fully two feet wide. Another haif-mile, ‘and the Thames is ‘a‘really respeéctable brook. Soon its first mill appears, one of the many that dot its banks. By the time Oxford is reached, thanks te many little affluents, the stream is 150 feet wide, well deserving the name ‘river. “The Thames flows through a country rich“in “historic associations and - beautif@¥l rural scenery. The oldest bridge ‘across the stredm, 15 miles above Oxford, was bullt in the Thirteenth century by monks of a near-by abbey. -Paradoxically, it is named ‘Newbridge.’ -Already some four centuries old, this structure was the scene of a skirmish in 1644 between Crom‘well’s forces and those of the Royalists, Not far below Newbridge is the only surviving rope-ferry /on the “Thaies. - X “&t Oxford, still about miles .abo¥e Londom, one comes up&z a little town known throughout the world, ‘because of the men of note who have ‘come from there to shape the\destinfes of Great'Britain. This has heen England’s great university town sin ] ithe Twelfth century. Traditions are ‘cherished in Oxford, and equally so is -architecture. Oxford's old but careifally preserved buildings give it a ‘'marked flavor of medievalism. The iwaters of the Thames, nearly doubled ‘ln size at Oxford by the inflow of the Cherwell, have long been the scene of Intercolleglate rowing contests. “The Thames has a serles of a score ‘and-a-half of locks, and though a rath‘er small stream, except near London, earriés a considerable traffic on barges. By ude of the Thames and Severn canal it is possible for barges to go through ‘to the west coast of England. . “Frém Oxford to London, and espes clally. between- Reading and Windsor, the Thames flows through some of the +most beautiful country in Bngland: This is ‘to London what Long island .and” Westchester are to New York. "Meahsiors, ‘palaces, country. estates, ‘parks, cblleges. and quaint little towns ‘are strung along for mile after mile; ‘while: the river itself, here about 200 feet v:g: adds, with its numerous bends and lazy flow, a beauty and dignity of its own. At Windsor, 25 miles “above London, is the show palaee of British royalty; and almost in sight :'o;l«sita ownstream s the modest little “mies —Runnymede—where the limited status of the British monarchy was fixed for--all 'time. when- the barons “forced King John to sign Magna Charta. "“At'ten or fifteen miles above London the Thames begins to be-colored by the- great city. Factorles have crept into the little towns along the stream; the delightful rural spell which’has' held sway all along is broen.

Saxons hated the color. Even among the old Greek myths we find the Me-. dusa, the terrible Gonrgoﬂ.’. had erisp red locks, which afterward were changed to hissing serpents. But when we leap onward and reach ‘the pages of Homer we find that the Immortal Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world, had red halr, and surely here we discover the secret of the red-haired minx; for &lthough Helen's name has passed down to us right through the cemturles as the most radiant being the world has ever seen, she was siren and temptress, too. = Fongis The ten years® war, distress and desolation, yet most vividly of all ‘we remember that scene on the walls of Troy’ when Helen met the eold men, and their hearts grew weak as water as they gazed at her and her beauty. Curses dled away. Red-haired beauty won. F o ; o Cleopatra, “serpent ¢f old Nile,” had red hair. She was not beautiful; indeed, authorities declare her to be _guite plain, even snub-nosed, but she had réd.Ell:ir, and won Mark Antony, prince of lovers, whose sole thought was to please the Hgyptian siren. ) ‘»Que&-ﬁm& ‘must have thought 120 halr becoming, for 1t 8 saidy she wore a '?ed wig when she ‘wished to fook at Her best ; the ill-fated but love1y Mary |Queen of Scots s reputed to have had red hair; and we know that Laura, whom Petrarch has immortal‘ized by his verses, first attracted him by her red tresses. : r [ " “Red yairi hot temper,” runs an old-"-Midla-n"d saying; indeed, it seems to be geneérally acknowledged that redl;hau‘e&f Ik have flery tempers. I 4] ‘Devices to Aid Deaf - Some ?ny ear specialists may fit patients with instruments suited to their particulgr form of deafness, just as eye specialists now fit glasses to patients 'chth eye troub{es., A first step toward §this distant goal has {been taken 11; .the attempt to standardize ‘the many hearing devices now on the market. | A survey of these devices is being made by a committee of the Americah Federation of ©rganizations for the Hard of Hearing with the cooperation of the United States bureau of standards, which will test instruments spbmitted ‘to it and will render, a confidential report to the members lof the jcommittee. Dr, Wendeil C. | Phillips,| president-elect of the Ameri- | can ~Me;it‘cal assocliation, and chairman of [the federation committee on “research; has said that there are more than seventy-five varieties of hearing aids on the market, and that they vary greatly. '

% Small, but Important Keeping track of . the one-celled plants and animals, too small’to ‘be seen except with a microscope, yet vastly important as the ultimate food of fishes and all other sea life, is the task of W. E. Allen of the Scripps Institution pf Oceanography, La Jeolla, Cal. Though these minute plants, belonging mainly to the diatom family, are too small to be eaten directly by fishes, they form the food of tiny shrimplike creatures that'in their turn form the food of . fishes. An uaderstanding of the effects on the diatoms of light, temperature, chemical and other conditions is therefore important in bullding up an evehtual complete understanding of fisheries and other sea industries, Mr. Allen explains.

&he Three Wild Men . - In {llustration of the amusing ‘misunderstandings of .things happening in our good city ' during the Christmas times may be mentioned’ the impressions of a little five-year-old boy “who took part in a tableau at one of the churches - depicting : beautiful -events commemorating the nativity,. On being.asked by his mother the next morning who it ‘was. followed the star until it stood above the'] manger in Bethlehem, he repliéd: “The three wild men” Being further asked-what kind of gifts theybrought; he replied: “Gold, frank-in-cense and.

~ The legal notice in the Banner advertising a Pierce Arrow automobile as the property of Simon J. Straus for sale by the Blazed Trail Garage has caused ‘much comment.
