Maps were b in libraries, in dining rooms, halls and stndies in order that the members of the honsehold could hecome acquaint: ed with lncalities in their relation t other parts of the world. The usefu ness of maps was their reason. To Ay the decorative element is their ex cuse. It is interesting to note that interest in maps came about during the war, .and this gradually devel oped into their ornamental use. Wall Decoration most We find maps used for wall orna ment.

JDFEAR MISS DIX: To settle an argument. will v What ix the greatest sacrifice that any one can make In life? Answer: .1 don't think that vour guestion can he answered categorically, though T suppose that the general opinion is that the greatest of all xacrifices is of life ituelf. Anyway. the heroes and the martyrs at whose feet we lay our fairest tributes are thowe who have died for the faith that was in them. “All that a man hath will he give for his life,” says the Scripture, and that minimizes the sacrifice of wealth or ambition or love or personal desire. Yet it has alwayvs seemed to me that it wouid be easier to make the one big sacrifice of life than to endure the years and years and vears of countless little daily sacrifices that make one's life a prolonged torment. Among the greatest sacrifices ever made are those made by poor mothers. Every womun who bears children goea through agony for them, but to this the poor woman adds lack of proper nursing, proper care, proper rest. Her other children are demanding attention, and so she drags herself from her hed of paln to cook and wash and sew and care for them. She never knows a night's unbroken rest. She She never has anything. Everything she gives Her days are slavery. never has any pretty clothes. to the children, She goes shabhy, that her children may he decently dressed. Often she goes hungry, that they may have food. She works beyond her strength, that they may have a playtime. She is like the mythological bird that feeds s young on its own heart. Great also are the sacrifices that many a man makes on the altar of his home. We all know men who literally work themselvex to death to pay the bills of extravagant wives. We know men who continue to come huck every night for 30 or 40 years to nagging and fretful wives and homes that are places of torment. - We know men who are patient sick nursex to neurotic invalids, and we know that the saints and the martyrs have nothing’in goodness or suffering on these men, who sacrifice their hopes and plans and ambitions, their comfort “nd their Joy in life, to their sense of duty. But, personally, I think that the greatest sacrifice that any one ever makes in life is that made by a young, gay, beautiful and talented girl who gives up marrying the man with whom she is in love and who offers her & full. happy, broad life. 1o stay at home and take care of her old parents or the orphan children of her brother or siste: She gives up everything that she wants in life with the certainty that there will be no reward for her. Her salrifice is greater than that of the mother, because she has not the love of those for whom she sacrifices that would he her compensation. Her sacrifice ix greater than that of a man would be in u similar caxe. bacause when the old people are dead or the children reared, the man would still have # chance of xome happiness in life, but the woman has none. The greatest of all sacrificex are those that are made for one's family. they are rarely appreciated. They ure the cross without the crown DOROTHY DIX.

Of all the new nations organized sirce or diring the World War, Poland is the omly one which had, at an earlier_period, heen wholly independ- ent. The silver and crimson shield s<he took from the wings of the hlack eagle. after the downfall of the Rus- sian Empire. is the same shield which had been her standard hefore the first partition of Polish territory. The shield as it appeared among the provinces on the Russian coat of arms showed a crowned white eagle. and Poland was known as a dependent kingdom. During her dependency. her flag had a white field with the Russian cross of St. Andrew, whith 1s blue instead of white, as in Scot- I&nd. On this flag Poland was given her own red shield and a white eagle for a canton.

The eagle is one of the oldest sym bols used on flags, a< it was the hird that was sacred to Jove and is the | King of birds, as the llon is king of beasts. The Romans adopted the eugle as the sign of power and the first svmbolic eagles thev used are said to have heen silver. Al the Feraldic eagles of later davs are descendarts of the Roman eagle. and the eagle of Poland preserves its silvar color. A curious story is told of a body of warriors under John Sobleski whose backs, or the backs of their herees. were equipped with wings made partly of metal and resembling the wings of eagles. These wings made a furious noise when in motion and added to the terrors of an attack. After the independence of Poland was assured, the flag of white and crimson was adopted by the Con stitnent Assembly August 1, 1919, At this same time the white eagle was placed on the atate seals and on other official flags.
