| WHERE GRAMMAR CAME FitOM ' Bartarous Macedonian, Who Made Hiinself Owner of All Egypt, Held . Responsible for Invention. The world reached its highest known stage of intelligence before grammar was even invented, much less studied, Ernest C. Moore writes in the Yale Re- vlew. I have had some curiosity to find out where and how so great a “blight upon young life first came into being, and why it ever became a school study, and I find that the Greeks knew it not; -that their triumphant litera- ture and their matchless oratory came to flower before grammar was dreamed of; that it was net in any sense one of the great arts which they wrought out and with which they armed the human race; that after Greece had declined, a barbarous Macedonian made himself owner of all Egypt, and in or- der to surround himself with the most spectacular form of ostentation of which his vain mind could conceive, he set to collecting not only all the rare and preeious objects and books and manuscripts there were in the world, but he capped it all by mak- ing a collection of the living men of the world who had any reputation any- where for knowing and thinking. Taking them from their homes where they had some relation to the daily necessities of human beings, and had really been of some use, he shut them up for life in one of his palaces at Alexandria, which the folks were in the habit of calling “the hencoop of the muses;” and out of sheer despera- tion, since they could do nothing bet- ter to amuse themselves, they counted the words in the books which real men had written, and prepared tables of the forms and endings which the users of words employed. The lifeless dregs of books which their distilling left we now call grammar, and study instead of books and even speech itself. In their lowest depth of indifference to the moving, pulsing life of man, not even the Alexandrians sank so low as Splinterless Goggles. Splinterless goggles are a new de- velopment that is expected to be of great vulue in military gas masks and for aviate = gs well as for machinists, welders .l other workers requiring protection for the eyes, The lenses con- sist of two layers of optical glass sep- arated by a layer of celluloid, the whole being perfectly welded together. The product is claimed to have the ad- vantages of ordinary glass without its dangerous splintering on being broken, and the strength of celluloid without ° its inflammability and lack of rigidity. The heat insulating effect of the cellu- loid is said alse to prevent clouding by molsture. Rural Attitude Changed. The use of the automobile by farm- ers has completely changed the rural attitude toward motoring, and tens of thonsan:s of men are making direct profits by catering to the passing mo- torist. - CHURCHES | Service gu?n ay &ox{al]::w a, m.

MINNESOTA WOMEN SHOULD Plercea Favorite Prescription ani medicine 2 which I am still enjoying to this day.”— Mgs. L. Larson, 247 21st Ave. N. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 27, 1917. 0dd Indian Foot navc. A foot race among the Tarahumare Indians is a most plcturesque scene, especlally after nightfall, when the couree is lit up by flaming torches car- ried by the eager friends of the run- uers, who steadily pursue their way, the only silent people in the excited crowd. How in this weird fitful light the men contrive to keep the ball in view is a mystery. One would think that so small an object would be lost In the flickering torchlight; but In- dians have wonderful eyes as well as wonderful muscles, and somehow the ball survives all perils nnd ls there ut the finish. In these races the runners receive no prizes, but only honor and glory and the admiration of the women, which 00 doubt fully repays them. It is, ‘however, customary for those who win wagers on the race to give some part of their winnings to the men who have wram e bt thic §o ambianal A Hint From the Front. A letter from a young man who is now with the Red Cross in France says he is very glad that he took the precaution to study French before he went over there. He says the knowl- edge is Invaluable to him, and that he has no difficulty in making himself tin- derstood, because most of the people he comes in contact with can talk Eng- lish “Here's a *‘Grackerjack” A pneumatic Fountain Ink Well. The name of the well is the ECLIPSE. Nothing to get out of order. No valves, no floats. The ink from the res- ervoir falls into a small cup at the pase, which provides just enough ink to cover the pen. NOT THE HOLDER. The ink ;annot splash. Air and dust cannot reach the ink, therefore the ink never becomes gummy or sticky. The last drop is as good as the first. It is made entirely of . glass. Needs fill- ing but once in six months and saves 75 per cent of your ink bill. Sells for $1.00 and $1.25. WHAT! Don’t believe it? Come and see., PIONEER OFFICE Phone 922 e e s (BY DR. V. M.
