Two +hundred and - sixty-four youngsters, ranging in age from six to sixteen :years, maKe up this juvenile band. ~ The Ashland boys’ band was formed ‘in December of 1924 out of boys who knew nothing of musical instruments, but when the band made its first public appearance on Memorial Day, 1925, it made a decidedly favorable impression, Since then the boys’ band has taken in" many school, patriotic and civie events, The band has also unearthed some real musical talent. The coming of the band to Ashland has just about solved the juvenila delinquency problem, says Lew Anderson, chairman of the Ashland band committee. There is no need for a juvenile g6urt and delinquency on the part of the young musicians is rare. It keeps the boys engaged in whole_Some activity and out of mischief and ~serves as a healthy outlet for their surplus energy, i Can’t Compress Water Water is practically incompresstble.

WN P T e e R S e vwe MAKING HARBOR OF REFUGE Congress Plans to Rob Cape Hatteras, to a Large Extent, of Its ; Perils. : © “Gale off Hatteras” is an entry made by the captains of coastwise sailing ‘ships on almost every voyage. For 'years Hatteras has been a place of terror, if not to the mariner, certainly to the passengers under his charge. The old storm cape, however, is soon ‘to lose a part of its fear. Man canmot stop the storms, but he is going to provide for vessels to escape their‘ ‘fury. | Sea captains notoriously are reticent when passengers ask them que&“ tions. No old sailor ever has been willing to admit to any of his passengers that Hatteras is any worse than a hundred other places on the coast, and yet he knows that it is about as bad a sea spot as can be found anywhere in the whole broad expanse of ocean. So, while the questioners are told that off Hatteras the water will be as calm as anywhere else, captain and crew always make things snug for a gale or worse when approaching the sea off the headland. : Congress has appropriated $1,400,000 for preliminary work on a Hatteras sea wall, which is to be a mile and a half long, 20 feet wide at the top, and 45 feet high. It will be the guarding wall of a harbor of refuge, into the lee of which vessels can run for shelter when the storms rage. This wall will rob the Hatteras seas of some of their terrors, and with them will pass some of the “Interesting excitement” always felt by seagoers when they approach the ‘water zone which always has been one of tumult. ‘ ; Little by little man is trying “to make safer the journeys of those avho go down to the sea in ships. He never entirely can conquer the ocean, and he knows it. It is perhaps the one ‘thing in nature which is absolutely untamable. The shipwrecks off Cape Hatterag have numbered thousands. The sea ~wall will provide means to save lives and property, but the winds off the old storm cape still will rage and on occasion work their will.

LAST FLOWER OF AUTUMN Like Nothing Else That Blossoms It Will Make Its Appeal to the . . Traveler. The sky kissed the earth in consola tion; for its flowers were faded, their reds, yellows, purples and pinks over ridden by the grim drear of brown. The sweet, soughing plaint of the wind ‘was long since spent; its will now was .determined and it played roughly ‘among things dead. The crust of the earth, no longer mellow, was dry and ‘finely crumbled to ‘dust. It covered ‘the coat of the stranger who traveled ‘the highway, causing him to blink his eyes. ' . . For these and for other-reasons per ‘haps the sky kissed the earth in con‘solation. . As the traveler lifted his eyes his footsteps halted. Beside him the tan: .Bled grass of the bank was pale, even ‘colorless, yet stirring through it was ‘the magic of a slight flutter and a glint ,oof color more blue than that of the bluebird’s wing. It was the spot ‘where grew the blue gentian. i No other flower bore it company. {Alone it had crossed the borderland of frost, and for the traveler it changed ‘the sad look of his surroundings intg those regal and appealingly sweet. He sat down to rest and his heart beat with joy, his pulses quickened and his brain grew clear through the nearness [gt the flower that had held the blue of ‘the sky when the earth was kissed in ‘consolation.—The Craftsman. : The Reason. © William J. Burns, at a banquet in New York, told a number of detective stories. “And then there was Lecoq,” said Mr. Burns. “Lecoq, late one night, was pursuing his hemeward way when, from a dark, mysterious-looking house set in a weed-grown garden, he heard loud shouts and roars of—- “ Murder! Oh, heavens! Help! . You’re killing me! Murder!” - “It was the work of an instant for Lecoq to vault the crumbling fence, tear through the weedy garden and -thunder at the door of the mysterious house. : “A young woman appeared. - “‘What's wanted? she asked po Jitely. , : © “‘1 heard dreadful cries and yells, panted Lecog. . ‘Tell me what is yrong.’ : ‘ - “The young girl blushed and answered with an embarrassed air: . " Well, sir, if you must know, ma’s ‘putting a patch on pa’s trousers ‘and l'he’s got 'em on.”” * : Seeler | ; “Pyrros.” ; Jane Addams, while walking in iSouth Halsted street the other day,‘ ywas approached by an excited woman,f‘ 'evidently a Greek. The woman, un[able to talk English, was gesticulating ‘frantically and pointing to a house in {Ewing street. - : : ' “Pyrros!” she exclaimed. “Pyrros!” - “Yes?” said Mies Addams gently. - “Pyrros!” repeated the woman, tugging at the other’s sleeve. \ Finally a great light broke upon Miss Addams. “Pyrros” is the Greek ‘word meaning “fire,” and the woman was simply trying to tell her that her house was on fire. An alarm was sent in. The blaze proved to be only a sma?l one and the fire department experienced no difficulty in putting the “pyrros” out—‘Chicago Inter Ocean. o « Represents Straus Interests.
