Of- ficials of the bank thought that the f the explosion knocked sever- 's into the narrow entrance, ng the bandits even after the heavy vault doors had been hurled into the street by the charge. Officials placed the damage to the interior of the bank from $3,0U0 to $4,000. SMITH TO HELP JOHN W. DAVIS New York, July 2 29-—G Gov.

Ben Franklin Enjoyed Good Things of Life Benjamin Franklin ‘was one of those rare men who lived so hap- pily and so abundantly that the reader of his life finds himself wish- ing he might have been a contem- porary. He was regarded as one of the st members of the First con- gress, yet he seldom spoke, and) he spent a great part of his time fast asleep in his chair, ~ He drank too much, he ate too much; instead of exercising, he played chess. He suffered the piercing pains of gout. He con- fessed all his faults with delightful At sixteen he wrote an article for his brother's newspaper, de- scribing the night life of Boston, and at seventy he was still indulg- ing in pleasant romances with young and beautiful French women, He missed nothing. As he added years to his age and dollars to his income, he vio- lated many of Poor Richard's pre- cepts, His common sense led him to take hot baths twice a week, when the general custom was to bathe not oftener than two or three times a year. He believed in fresh air, and even night air, while the doc- tors were still using leeches as a cure-all, He enjoyed life to the utmost. He was the master of his circum- stances from the age of sixteen, when he ran away from home, to the ripe age of elghty-four, when he passed on, with all his affairs tn order. He left an estate of a quarter of a million dollars for his heirs.—Willlam Feather Magazine. Science Poor Second in Light Production What is the most efficient light In the world? Some people might vote at once for the “last word” of sclence’in artificial illumination, but they would be wrong. The most effi- cient light known to us was known in the days of pine torches and rush-lights. It is that with which nature has endowed the glow-worm and the firefly. Science has so far failed to solve the problem of the production of light without heat—a problem which seems to have given Dame Nature no difficulty. In all artifi- cial light production an enormous amount of energy is lost in the form of heat rays and chemical rays, Thus a four-watt carbon glow lamp has a luminous efficiency of Tess than a half per cent, and the most perfect artificial !luminant has an efficiency of only 4 per cent. ‘Science here compares badly with nature, for the luminous efficiency of the firefly is no less than 99.5 per cent, while the glow-worm’s light is 80 times more efficient than a tungsten lamp. Pretty Medieval Legend The story of the custom of con- yeying a kiss by a cross, is that there was once a young man in thé days of knighthood and chivalry ‘and glittering deeds, named Sir Ronald du Bois, who was sent on a “dangerous mission and was taken prisoner. He had left at home a . fair and beautiful sweetheart, and it was his desire to send-her some message. A bribed messenger prom- “ised to take some symbol to her, but refused to bear a written message for fear he would be taken prisoner and the letter found. The knight therefore sent her a metal button from his coat on which he had scratched four letters at the four points of an X: ‘Phe ietters were Ki, 8, 8.

" i And the blame—or most of it— is being laid at the door of “The Thoughtless Fool,” as the smoke from dozens of forest fires: rolls fice ta the Fire God, Education nas been under way for years to convert The Thought- less Fool into a safe member of society. A lessening number of| forest fires each year was pointed | to as the result. It took a dry year like the pres- ent to prove this all wrong. As soon as the vacation season called | jautoist and other campers into the open, fires began. And they! have continued unabated; beaten | down at one point only to break out anew at another. Jail sentences are now being meted out to those who even smoke in the forest reserves.

Of th |were due entirely to carelessnes A vast land army of fighter: supplemented by army airplanes and the radio, battle doggedly on every western front—but The Thoughtless Fool keeps just ahead {of them, and weary workers sub-| due one fire only to be rushed to fight another. Demoralization is the aftermath in many communities. Every able- bodied man must spend long hours at the hard, hot job; every autoist passing through must expect to be called upon and to serve or go to jail. These battles may carry the | fighters far from their homes. Al sudden change of wind, and they! momentarily are in danger of being trapped by the flames, or of having their homes endangered, with only their women folk at hbme to con- quer the blaze or perish. Forest fires cause life and prop- erty loss, disrupt communication and entail enormous expense. The areas swept over are denuded of timber by the fast-licking flames. Lack of timber cuts down the labor wage entailed in milling | these trees, had they survived. And the devastated area, affording no shade to the scil, is soon dried by the sun and no longer helps furn- ish waters to the principal streams. This brings about water short- ages, and with the west using largely hydro-electrical energy, a power shortage, which may itself bring on unemployment. But through it all, The Thought- less Fool goes unheedingly about his work of destrcying the last big lumber reserves on this side of the world. It has reached a point now where being caught might gmcan lynching. Land Ruled by Insects After an African trip an English explorer said that on the dark con- tinent the fly was the rvler of man, for the huninn was constantly bat- tling with It. “Africa.” he’ s “is but an ant heap.
