A desire to do all in his power to help the young men of the country find their places in the world he said was the inspiration for his plan. : He said that society owes young people the opportunity to pe educated {or useful citizenship and he intend--2d to devo® the rest of hig active days to the establishment of trade schools and teaching, : Mr. Ford blamed much of the crime and racketeering on failure of schools to. teach young men how to fit into the world. : %

Temper Shortens When ! ‘ Ageof 40 Is Reached;j Are you approaching forty? Beware!' Between the ages of forty and li:ty""’{ ones “pet peeves” are “at peak.” Sa- 1 vants of the international congress of . psychology announce that the chlld,:}i and the young man and woman, arei fairly broad-minded about anuoyances.| Having survived such trivialities until} forty, one is inclined to let go, and u“ is from that time until one is sixty; that you should guard against becon:{ ing slave to your dislikes, b A better plan would be to remove’ one’s self from the scenes of temptation. If one dislikes mosquitoes, he; should try to find a place where there: aren't any. If a man, and it irks yon; to dance with stout ladies, crash the high school dances and sub-deb partles. If, now in the thirties, you develop! murderous tendencies when the saxo-. phone player next door tunes up, move, away before forty, unless you wish to: give your murder complex play. Thiss may be bad psychology, but it's good| advice. :

Humble Cow Looked On : as-Evidence of Wealth

In the early centuries the cow was‘i looked upon as a source of wealth as, well as food. One of the first words; for money was “pecunia,” from the! Greek word “pecus,”” meaning catues or herd, and the first coins made in: Greece and Rome were stamped with' the cow’s head. ' ;

Another interesting connection be-! tween cattle and gold is found in the! story of the discovery of gold in Cali-! fornia. People came overland by pack: train, around the isthmus of Panama,i and in sailing vessels around the Horn.; More people meant more cows and to meet the growing demand, large num-, bers of cows were brought from Ken tucky and England. In the early min-| ing days these sold for $3OO to ssoo' a head—so a cow was almost as good' as a gold mine.—Kansas City Times.

When Sails Beat Steam

When the steamer Enterprise, commanded by €apt. James Henry Johnston, English _pioneei navigator, reached the Cape of Good Hope on October 13, 1825, it is recorded that “g great crowd gathered on the foreshore to admire the wondrous object that could move at will without regard to the direction of the wind and to the accompaniment, it must be said, of a mighiy pufing and volume of smoke.” =

The Enterprise, ivhich had left Falmouth, England, on August 16 for Calcutta took so long (113 days) to reach her destination that every one, including her captain, was disappointed, for under favorable conditions the great sailing ships, at less expense, could make the voyage to Calcutta in 90 days. ' : T

Probably Fervent Wish

On a shore-bound train recently the, Stroller sat behind a fussy old lady. The seat in front of the woman was occupied by a gentleman who had his window open. : i

“I wish that man would shut his window, my bair is blowing around something awful,” she remarked to a woman in the seat beside her, .

‘The gentleman of the open window having heard -the indirect request, turned, and with the woman’s features mirrored in/ his barren dome, smilingly said: %I wish the wind would blow my hair!”—Philadelphia Public Ledger. So

Cleaning Plaster Statues

‘When plaster statues have become dingy and dusty first give a thorough brushing and dusting. Take a good quality of white or cream colored paint and make it thin with turpentine. Apply this to the statue .with great care so that no paint settles in the grevices to impair the modeling. ‘The statue can then be kept clean by wiping carefully with a wet cloth. Many statues in the Corcoran Art gallery, Washington, are treated in this way.

Wind Sways Skyscrapers

- Strong gusts of wind against . tall steel buildings cause the structures to sway and vibrate, tests have shown. According to reports, two of the tallest bulldings in New York city bend as much as six inches at the top of their towers, three inches in either direction from the ueutral fixed position, says Popular Mechanics' Magazine, Designers of a tall building soen to be bullt in Chicago allowed for a sway of two inches in either direction.

Language Peculiarities

- English has twenty-six alphabet let;ters, twenty-one for consonants and ‘five for vowels. English has some forty-four sounds, twenty-four conso‘nantal and twenty vocalic. To represent these forty:four sounds in speil.ing, English has well over 400 separate -orthographic combinations, making an .average of ten possible spellings per ‘sound. - What can you do with a lan‘guage like that? And yet there is a .charm about it.—Janet Rankin Alkeu, ‘in the Bookman, Bsor ek

Makes Healthy Plants

. Charles Darwin began a long series -of experiments in 1861 which proved eonclusively a fact stated as long ago -ag 1799, says Nature ‘Magazine, that . better, healthier plant comes from seed produced when pollen {s brought ‘from another flower. Two of nature’s ‘pollen carriers are insects and wind,

Explaining Bent Cross . on Crown of Hungary

With reference to a question recently asked concerning the famous St, Stephen's crown of Hungary and the reason why the erosmn top of It 18 bent, a Hungarian reader, B. 3., writes as follows: “As a painter 1 painted signs which bear the Hungarian royal crown. My master toid me they had a revolution in 1848 and some oné buried the crown in the forest of Lakwa, southeast of Zlatica. No-, body kmew of it for years until Franz Josef was to be crowned. The government sent men to look for It and' by the help of a Serbian shepherd they found it with its cross bent.” This; story is confirmed by Henri de .Wen-! del's book, “The Real Francis-Joseph,” which states: *“Before Kossuth left, he buried with his own hands the Hun garian c¢rown, the old crown of St. Stephen, in the neighborhood of the frontier village of Orsova. When ir’ was recovered ilater, the little cross' on the top was found bent on one slde.; From this time onward the arms of: Hungary have borne a crewn: with- a; cross bent toward the left.”—Detroit: News, : .

Beaver’s Powerful Tail Serves Many Purposcs There is a popular belief that the beaver’s tail is shaped as it is to en-, able him to use is as a trewel in his construction work. Scientists, however, have observed that the beaver usually carries in his fore paws the mud, rock or sticks with which he builds and that he uses the tail tdi steady himself, either by planting it] on the ground or by waving it from: side to side. In the water he uses is as a rudder and sometimes as a pro-! peller, . o : ~ The beaver's tail is flat and wide.; Its steering power is taxed to the limit] as the beaver swims, tuglike, by the: side of a pole or log that he is towing' to the house, dam, or food cache. It keeps him from moving in circles, By:; Ats_loud slaps on the surface of the water, the tail also serves as a “signali gun” which acts as a warning to’ friends or enemies.

In & recent issue we mentloned a bird that provides stores for the winter. Weasels share this foresight, .

When slicing a poplar at a sawmill it was found that no fewer than 42

mice had been carefully s?:}e'd,/ one above the other, in an ordéred pile, with sand and mould between them, to form an airtight mound. These mice were in as fresh condition as if they had just been caught. ~ - ; - Two magpies bad been placed on top of them, and a large collection of acorns filled the hollowed-out cavity to the entrance, which was just large enough for the weasel to slip inside.— London Tit-Bits. ek

b Coconut Propagation . . ' Coconuts are propagated differently from almost any form of fruit-or nuts, ‘The coconut, as it forms in the outer: ’hull, is buried in the ground,-and the. ‘embryo gaing nourishment first from the coconut milk, and as the growth of' ‘the plant advances the white meat, which we eat becomes soft and spongy. ‘and also feeds the young plant. .After a certain stage of development has ‘been reached small roots reach out into the ground, and by the time they are sufficiently long and strong enough' to feed the nourishment to the plant from the earth the original coconut has entirely disintegrated. . .

- Much depends upon when and where you read a book. In the five or six impatient minutes before the dinner is quite ready, who would think of taking up the “Faerie Queene” for a stop gap, or a volume of Bishop Andrew’s fermons? R .

Milton almost requires a solemn gervice of music to be played befora you enter upon him, But he brings his musie, to which who listens had need bring docile thoughts, and purged ears.—Lamb, in “Detached Thoughts.”

- It isrecorded that Galileo was one evening in the cathedral of Pisa. The swinging of a high chandelier caught his attention, and he watched it closely as its distance of travel diminished. Suddenly he observed a significant fact —no matter how wide the arc deBcribed by the chandelier, the time consumed in one complete oscillation was always the same. From this observation came the construction of a elock, the forerunner of the modern pendulum timepieces. :

Eight-year-old Barbara had spent a happy afternoon on the shores of Lake Wawasee, gathering live mussels, hitherto unknown to her. .She took them up to her room, ang evidently the night light that was left burning when she went to bed stimulated the captives to action, for her mother heard her calling In great alarm: *“0O, mother, come here! Those shells opened their mouths at me!"—lndianapolis News. ~ - 3 S :
