Youths with nothing more than a willingness to work have landed at New York and in time rose to places of prominence. Under the proposed amendment, the door of opportunity would either be closed completely or hard to enter. DETROIT Kresge Bldg. President Coolidge in a recent address to the Daughters | o¢ of the American Revolution stressed the wisdom of giving every possible opportunity to the foreign born to contribute something to our national life. In that address he said: “We need not only to draw the newcomers into our social structures, but we need also to make them contribute to its strength and beauty. We may gain much from them. In the diversification of our cul- ture, the broadening of our interests, the develop- ment of our literature and arts, the formation of a rounded, symmetrical national character, they can help us vastly. We shall best serve both them and ourselves if we shall fully recognize this mutuality of interest.” EXPLODES ANOTHER BELIEF Precocious children since time was have been pictured as puny, pale and pallid. Their behavior is supposed to be different from the stupid child. Superiority of mind has been too long pictured as entailing inferiority of body. If a _boy or girl showed signs of exceptional intelligence, an early death or invalidism was promptly predicted. Now comes Dr. Lewis W. Terman who has made a repu- tation in the field of mind testing. In examination of 250,- =:000 school children he has compiled data as to the peculiari- _ ties of the best one per cent, the notably bright and clever =ones in other words. He has found that the children who do best in their }:Studies are as a class, heavier, larger, better nourished and ‘healthier than those who come in the unselected class of #ichildren. Physically he finds they are better proportioned =.and more stable than their less clever companions. His examination does not prove that they are freakish but enjoy games liking best those games which call for some brain work. Experience of teachers, judging from class records, is =/in line with that of Dr. Terman. TYPEWRITERS The printing press has been lauded as a means of spread- ing civilization. Why has not the plebian typewriter—noisy and space jumping as the one which writes this — been _ &:glorified. Your modern newspaper would not be what it is today. = A good reporter can write a column of 98 per cent perfect copy in an hour. Without his typewriter he’d just be getting tothe wife’s side of the story when he’d have to quit so that the edition would get to press on time. Seriously, hundreds of good books that have been written “would never have seen the light of day had not their authors been able artists. If you don’t believe it, try writing 40,000 words yourself this evening. Courts and commerce, as well as literature, would be de- layed were it not for the nimble machine. And who shall gainsay that the “typical American speed,” at which our visitors marvel, is not entirely the re- “~gult of the subtle and subconscious influence of early and wide-spread use of pecked-at mechanism? GREEK “ Nicolas Antolities, an immigrant, stepped onto United States soil the other day from the steamship Byron of the .. National Greek Line. =. He brought with him a small rug into which was woven , @ facsmile of the American flag. : Doubtless, according to Nicolas’ notions, this was an out- *, ward manifestation of the patriotism he thinks he is going s# to hold for the country of his adoption. But custom officials seized the rug, and the collector will ® decide if Nicolas, to whom no doubt our laws are “all Greek,” ‘is to be allowed to have in his home a rug of such design, to be trodden under foot. ® ie ® ROADS Because our highways are getting better from year to «. year, a change is being brought about in motor car design. There seems to be a tendency among automobile owners to = use a smaller vehicle. | - This is logical when it is considered that the average + number of passengers in an automobile is from one to three. : roads enable the light car to do comfortably what only - the heavy one can do when the going is rough. We haven’t gone as far as they have in Europe, where ; they use very small cars. But the percentage of small cars being produced in this country is on a rapid increase. i : DRY INDIA? ; India is thinking of going dry during the next 10 years, but she is planning a different method-than the American one. ig * “The United States, theoretically, went bone dry over- night. India, if she tries it, will do it more slowly. *, Bombay, with a popplation of 20 milions, has just decided ‘to adopt prohibition by progressive stages within the next decade, and this action, it is thought, will have a tremendous fect throughout all India. ‘Maybe India’s method will work better than ours.

Not the least of |these is the activity of the large { power companies in building ex- jtensicns and acquiring properties which will place them in the best of the state’s lignite coal fields. While the announcement is not formal it is evident that the pres- ent activities of the power com panies means early and rapid de- velopment of large measures of lignite hitherto unexplored. With that development will come a new era in the use of electricity on the farm. The farm of 25 years from now proneely will be electric lighted. There will be an electric arc lamp in the front yard, elec- trical appliances throughout the house and electric current generat- ed by cheap fuel found within the state will be distributed over a much wider area than at present, adding much to the comfort of life on the farm which will simply tap a high line at a reasonable rate and secure electric current for all pur- poses at as reasonable a rate as the city dweller now gets it. There is enough lignite coal in North Dakota to supply fuel for the world for the next 500 years, according to the estimates of fed- eral surveys. Process treatment ignite has made surprising strides in the past five years in in- creasing its availability as an all- purpose fuel. The state's supply lis so distributed that piactically all sections of it will benefit by the lignite development era. It is near at hand and it means big things for North Dakota, an increase in land values, more comfort in home living conditions and more pros perity for the average North D: kotan. The new and constructive interest in lignite in this state proves again that North Dakota is one of the best states in the union, whose resources are only just be- ginning to be fully realized.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON MRS. RAZOR-BILL’S TEA PARTY Peter Penguin began to laugh un- til his white shirt front shook up and down like a boiled pudding. “Oh, dear! I have to laugh when I think of something,” he said. “Please excuse me, But really when I think of the way Polly Puffin Bird got fooled I just can’t help it.” “Who fooled her and what was it all about?” asked Nancy. “Yes, do tell us.” said Doctor Bill, “so we may all laugh about it, too.” “Well,” said Peter Penguin. “It happened at a tea party that Mrs. Razor-Bill gave. Mrs. Razor-Bill is one kind of a sea bird and Polly Puffin is another, but still they are fast friends and you will never find them very far apart. They always live on the same cliff near the sea, although their families have differ- ent floors, you might say. Like an apartment house. The Razor-Bills live on the top ledge and the Puffins live lower down. Oh, yes, I forgot. Mrs, Kittiwake was there, too, when it happened and she was fooled just as much as Polly Puffin.

Pitan, sot LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON TO BEATRICE SUMMERS, CONTINUED Just at that moment, Bee, Lesiie and the strange man began to dance. In all my life I have never seen such perfect harmony and rhythm. grace, but there was in it an arrest- ing quality which made the whole thing something unnatural. And perhaps the one great sur- prise of it all was the fact that Les- lie was doing it. I do not think, Bee, I have seen Leslie dance since we girls used to dance together at boarding school, Then she was rather spiritless and bored, but that night she was like a living flame under the lurid sensu- ousness of the gliding measures. Until then I had always thought the tango a more or less banal per- formance. That night for the first time I realized its marvelously subtle invitation and its almost eerie grace. Leslie seemed to have forgotten every one in the room, even the per- sonality of her partner. She was transfigured in the dance. Her whole body was clothed in a witch- ery and a glamour that was more than exotic. Her partner smilingly said some- thing to her and for a flashing in- stant she looked into his face. Then for a vivd moment I saw a Leslie Prescott that I had never known. I saw a woman that, had Leslie her- self confronted her, she would have proclaimed her a stranger. I felt a hand clenching my arm. I turned to look into the contorted The Tangle {ed immediately. | Riding His High Horse ] face of Sydney Carton, He recover- rdon me,” he said, “I think the heat of the room affected my heart a little.” His heart was affected, Bee, but it was not a physical affectation. It was because Sydney Carton had sud- dently learned that he would have given long years of his life to have Leslie Prescott gaze into his eyes with the rapturous look he had just seen upon her face. Unconsciously, I found my eyes focused on the opposite corner of the room, where I had seen Leslie's hus- band the moment before. He was standing there as though carved ii stone. I could not interpret his thoughts. His white face was as hhard as marble and almost as blank. I ‘knew, however, that whatever had been his thoughts, they were dis-' turbing enough to draw the blood from his face. There was a salvo of applause. The dancers had stopped abruptly. Leslie seemed to awake as from a dream, and then I caught a look from ‘the third man in this queer triangle-the man who had been dancing with her. It was the per- ishing glance of a man dying of thirst with a glass of sparkling wa- ter just beyond his reach. My heart almost stopped beating. I wondered if Leslie knew, and if she knew what was going ‘to be the out- come. Had Jack Prescott still possession of her heart, If not, what was the status of the other two. I could not telJ. Leslie’s face was another erfigma, (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) too, and she got fooled just the same as Polly Puffin.” “My goodness!” said Nick. “What are you talking about, Mister Pen- guin? It takes you a long time to get started.” “Well then, I'll start right now,” said Peter, wiping his eyes with his wing, for he had laughed so hard the tears had come. “Mrs, Razor-Bill took it into her head to have a tea-party, and invite her neighbors in. So she called down to them from her window and said she'd be pleased to have them at five o'clock.” “So at five o'clock they arrived in their best bib and tucker. “Mrs. Razor-Bill had spent most of the day hunting up tid-bits for the party, and you would be surprised at the number of goodies she had col- lected.” “What did they Nancy curiously. | have?” asked “Well, if I stop to tell you every- thing I'll never get on with my story,” said Peter Penguin, “But now that you ask, I'll see if I can remember. “Well, they had clams to begin with, one the half shell Mrs, Razor- Bill had opened them herself one at, a time.

Then she! noticed something. ‘What a fine lot of eggs you have, Mrs. Razor-Bill,’ she said. ‘But they are lying right near the edge of the rock. Aren't you afraid they will fall of! “Ob, no!’ said Mrs. Razor-Bill. ‘They are safe’ My eggs alwa: take care of themselves. I never, BUYS LIBRARY G.

Rowell “Daylight-saving” is now in effect in many places. Until recently, that would have made no difference to anybody. But now, when you buy stocks by telegraph, and the ex- change closes an hour earlier, or you listen in on a trans- continental radio program, or your: small boy is working ja fellow relay fan a couple of thousand miles off, it upsets all schedules. But consider how recenty it is that these differences, or any close measurements of time, were important. Even a whole day did not count, in some parts of the world, : There are neighborign islands in the South Seas which ‘got their calendars, one from missionaries who sailed west and the other from those who sailed east. Consequently, when it is Sunday on one it is Monday on the other.

Just to see thousands of bright, upstanding boys march- ing by. is a cure for the grumps, for pessimism, for cynicism and disillu- sionment. ‘ The world's ‘problems, or our per- sonal problems, may be too much for us. But it is not we, it is these boys, who will have them to solve. And they will bring them an ever- fresh courage. We grow old and tired, and youth comes not back again; but the youth of the race is continually renewed. ~ They will find themselves at this tough world, and will not find out that it is too much for them until they have already wrestled mightily with it. Then their places will be recruits. Each undertakes much and accomplishes little, but bit by bit the job gets done, s It is well that most of it can be done by the age that does not count the cost. There is no room for dis- couragement in a world that is al- ways young. Still more inspiring: Those boys are having a better chance than any Bad air is one of the most fre- quent causes of headache.

Streets swarm with noxious autos, crowding horse-drawn vehicles into the slower moving streams of traffic on side | streets. . But if you would go some Monday or Thursday afternoon to Twenty- fourth street, east of Lexington ave- nue, you would witness a scene that would transport you to the days of county fairs and small-town life as it was before the perfection of the gas engine. On these afternoons there is held a regular. old-fashioned horse auc- tion. There at the old Pioneer Club, where prizefights are frequently held; one may see hogseflesh in all degrees of fitness paraded before rospective buyers. Runners take the more spirited steeds by the halter and race them up and down the street to show that their wind is good. Usually horse’s wind is much better than that of the fellow who runs him. Heavy dray horses are walked out and men pick up their hoofs and look at their teeth.

Here comes the delegation from a high school of 3000 pupils. Not one in 10 of the fathers of those boys had a high school education, and some of them had no education. No one before lived in a life that was so educative outside of school. None of their ancestors had so good a physical chance, to live long and soundly. None had such an oppor- tunity to prepare for life, and then so many things to do in that life. Happy generation! Its tasks are to be the hardest and the most crit- ical ever faced by any generation.

But you can by mak- ing it unprofitable. That is appar- ently what is happening to the rum- running business. One British rum baron, who had invited popular subscriptions, an- nounces failure. Only about one- tenth of his goods had succeeded in getting in, and the returns from that had been insufficient to meet the cost of disposing of it. The British exporters generally are reported as discouraged with the illegitimate part of their business, and are concentrating on trade with non-prohibition countries.
