Unless a man works he reverts to the level of barbarism and savagery. One great difference between the civilized social state and barbarism is that civilized man works to obtain the necessities of life and , to store up a surplus against the day in which he cannot work. Remove vork from this world and it will disintegrate socially and morally. Our whole structure depends upon the mental and manual work of its members. If a man ceases to work, he be

By far the greater number of fires are preventable. Carelessness, faulty construction of houses, bad flues are some of the more common causes of conflagrations. Matches are left exposed in many homes. Cigar and cigarette smokers are careless in disposing of stubs. Cigarette stubs will hold fire until their contents are consumed, and if they fall on paper or rags a fire may easily follow. October 9 is fire prevention day. H. H. Friedley, state fire marshal, believes Hoosiers should observe if. He calls attention to the loss of 112 lives in fires in the last year. The average

fire loss in Indiana is $500,000 a month. A general campaign has been launched in Indiana to

observe the day. It may be well to impress upon our minds that the loss of a house by fire this year js a costly one. The housing problem suggests the importance of safeguarding property. With houses scarce and rents high, the loss of a dwelling accelerates the dearth and increases rentals. Fire prevention means money in the pockets of the owner and the renter. Richmond has taken kindly to the significant features of fire prevention daty. The removal of

work to indulge in idleness, all would soon starve. Every great thinker and moral teacher has advocated work. Besides the social value of work, there is a great moral equation. It is axiomatic that idleness breeds mischief. Idle hands and idle brains concoct trouble for themselves and other members of society. An industrious man rejoices in his work a state of mind which illuminates his whole life and is communicated to his fellow men. There is a vast difference between work and drudgery. A slave bends to his tasks. A free man rejoices in his work. An enlightened civilization has manfully tried to remove soul-killing drudgery from work, and has succeeded in a

?et against conditions that make a slave out of a worker. The misguided apostles of revolution who beMeve that work can be eliminated from the world,

not be delayed. Its presence is an invitation to a fire. Let us observe fire prevention day with greater zeal and energy this year than ever before.

VIRGIL Publius Vir&illus Mart) was born TO B. C. and lived till 19 B. C. Like so many of the great writers of Rome he was not born at the great city, but near Mantua, In a region that produced many of the great men of

the empire. He was ot humble stock and constantly shows In his writings his familiarity with farm life, but despite his simple origin he received an extremely liberal education on both the Latin and Greek sides; the farmer's son finally became a friend of the great men of the time and one of the cosmopolitan figures of the empire. Despite misfortunes with his ancestral property, the patronajre of Maecenas and the friendship of Augustus allowed him to travel freely and to devote himself to a life of letters. The Greek literature of Alexandria made a great impression on him and shows itself in the Eclogues, poems of pastoral life modeled largely after the charming Greek poet Theocritus, which in their turn have had a very great Influence on that type of poems so popular In all ages. Somewhat in the same line fire the Georgics, which In charming form display a very profound knowledge of farming: on the part of the poet. They were perhaps written with the patriotic motive of starting a movement back to the farm. The great work of Virgil was the Aeneid. which he left, however, in an unfinished state and wished to have destroyed at his death. It was to be the perfect story of his nation's origin. It has remained one of the world's possessions of the world's literature. Virgil was one of the great figures

fir the Middle Ages. lie was supposed to have foretold the birth of Clirist and was regarded as the greatest pagan. It was claimed that he shared with the Bible the power of s ettling all difficulties; one had only to open tiie Aeneid; the first passage on which one chanced gave an omen. The role he plays in Dante shows the tsteem In which he was held.

Helping Disabled Soldiers The placement officer of the federal board for vocational education is always careful when negotiating with employers to inform them of the physical condition of the disabled man for whom employment is sought. In order that their physical handicap may be minimized as much as possible all disabled soldiers in need of medical examinations or treatment or hospital care, during their course of training under the board, where such need is traceable to war service, are referred to the medical officers of the public health service in the district, who are at the

same time the board's medical representatives.

VERGIL'S AENEID Condensation by Professor Villiam Fenwick Harris

Arms and The Man of Destiny are the subject of Virgil's story, in which he portrays the birth of a nation. The author goes far back into history as Homer told it, to find a national hero for his people. But his story has one great difference from the Illiad and the Odyssey, from which it borrows so much besides a hero. Homer's tales are spontaneous stories of the great chiefs who stand at the beginning of Greek history, while Virgil, a man of letters and a patriot who would make plausible the divine mission of his race to rule the world, deliberately chooses his hero and then makes for him a history to suit his needs. One wonders sometimes whether Aeneas or the Italian nation is the hero of the great national story. In Homer, Aeneas stands alongside Hector as one of the great champions of Troy. When the city falls he is

reader has a different point of of view and wishes ttfat the poet had found a more glorious role for the national hero, the mighty founder of a race destined to rule the world. For Aeneas thoroughly deserved the imprecations heaped upon his head by the dying Dido. Homer would have found a more human way out of the difficulty. For the modern world, the interest in the Aeneid grows less after the great tale of Dido's passion is told. The Trojans set sail for Italy once

the great funeral games on the anniversary of his father's death, after the fashion of those which Homer pictures Achilles celebrating in honor of the dead Patroclus. The Trojan women, weary of long wanderings, try to burn the ships, but are only partly successful. Aeneas leaves them and all who wish to tarry, and at last reaches Italy, where he makes the famous descent to the lower regions to consult his father; he perhaps, after the episode of Dido, feels the need of being told again of the great destiny of himself and his race. The journey is of course, in imitation of Odysseus' descent to Hades, and was the great model for Dante. Aeneas journeys on to the mouth of the Tiber and forms an alliance with King Latinus, which includes marriage with the king's daughter, Lavinia. If the reader is inclined to murmur: "What again? Naughty man!" the answer is that good Aeneas has been under the burden from the first of being the Man of Destiny, and the union with the daughter of King Latinus is to produce the Latin race. But not without a final struggle on the part of the Jealous Juno, who raises up enmity under the leader ship of Turnus, one of the suitors for the hand of Lavinia. He can compete

A low fire loss, and Richmond holds an enviable position in this regard, is attributable mainly to the vigilance of citizens. The fire department may be able to extinguish a blaze in quick time through its excellent organization, but the best trained fire department in the world cannot prevent the outbreak of fires.

NOTABLE EXAMPLES

l'rom the Dayton Journal.

. HERE are three news items appearing in the papers

ne day that are at once both disconnected and

connected. One tells of the sale by James Couzens

of the stock which he owned in the Ford Motor Car comlany; the other tells of the retirement of Edward Bok :.lter thirty highly successful years as editor of The Ladies Home Journal, and the third describes the paihetic and unsuccessful efforts of a stowaway from Europe to gain admittance to this country. "I have worked for ten years," the stowaway said. "I have nothing to show for it, although I have worked faithfully. I am anxious to succeed, and I want to become a citizen of the United States, because it is here that a man can work his way to success if ho has enough ambition." Edward Bole was born in Holland in 1S63 and his parents migrated to the United States when he was six years old. He obtained a public H hool education and,

his parents being poor, started out to work his way when Ktill in his teens. From 1SS2 until 1SS6 he was a stenogiapher and an. editor of sorts in Brooklyn, and in 1SS7 went to The Ladies Home Journal, then a small publication, as editor. The great success of that magazine is clue to Mr. Bok, who in 1381 became vice-president of the Curtis Publishing company, of which he also was a director. Seventeen years ago James Couzens, now mayor of Detroit, entered the employment of the Ford Motor Car company as a clerk. When the company was reorganized, he was elected vice-president and treasurer, at a salary of $1,800 a year. The growth of the Ford Motor Car company was phenomenal, but as fast as it grew, Mr. Couzens grew v,-ith it. He invested all the money he could obtain yi '.hose doubtful days, because he had faith in the ven-

of the Aeneid, the great story of the j passionate love of Dido for the Man of j Destiny.

GETTING EVEN WITH AN OFFICER Fiom the Columbus Despatch. From Oklahoma comes the first report we have seen of where enlisted men, after their discharge, took steps to "get even" with an officer. It is a common enough thing in the army to hear soldiers talking about what they are going to do with officers when they are finally discharged, but nothing comes of the threats, as a rule. However, the Oklahoma boys have "taken action." It seems that there was a reunion held at Tulsa the other day and a permanent organization formed of men who had served in a certain unit. A resolution was passed condemning the captain of the outfit as having displayed "conduct unbecoming an officer," and refusing to allow him ever to join the organization. Just what the captain's unbecoming conduct consisted of, it is not stated. He organized the outfit, and it is admitted that he had a great deal to do with its being brought up to the point of efficiency where it was selected to accompany the Rainbow division. But he returned to his home town and to the home town of the men so discredited and so unpopular that he was voted as being unfit to join the permanent organization of the outfit.
