In short, his marks were marvelous!

And how his shoulders, big and broad,
Surmounted by two eyes unawed
That seemed to picrco you through

It seemed he could not strike it right.

his might
Without suecea. and also thought
That all his efforts camo to

Then suddenly both met success
By PARTNERSHIP In business!

HARDING ON ENGLAND
President-elect Harding has recent
ly announced, in a personal letter to
John A. Stewart, chairman of the
board of governors of Sulgrave Insti
tute, a stand which will be acclaimed
with pleasure by all friends of perma
nent Anglo-American peace and co
operation. Coming as it does at a time when
German propagandists are flooding
the country with maliclolus lies In
tended to strain relations between
this country and the other allies, Mr.
Harding's announcement is worthy of
the attention of every citizen. The
letter is quoted in the "World's Work
for March with tho following com
ment: "No better guide to Anglo-American
relations could be asked than the let
ter which Mr. Harding has recently
addressed to Mr. John A, Stewart,
chairman of the board of governors
of the Sulgrave Institute. As defin
lteiy commuting Air. Harding to a
policy of cooperaton it is worth quot
ing in full:
Dear Mr. Stewart: The labor of
uniting into still closer amity and
understanding the English-speaking
peoples of the world has a
significance of good to all Amer
icans and to all nations and racs
of the world.
Destmy has made it a historical
fact that the English -pseaking
peoples have been the instrument
through which civilization has
been flung to the far corners, of
the globe. I am impressed not so
much by the glory that English
speaking peoples may take to
themselves as by the profound
duties that God has thrust upon
them duties of being restrained,
tolerant, and just- These duties
will find their greatest recognition
in a united, unshakable friendship
and understanding and oneness of
purpose not for the exclusion
from brotherhood of others, but
for a better brotheihood flowing
toward others.
I believe that when the wisdom
of America is summoned to assist
the world in building a workable,
t&s di.--.tlngruls.hed from a bunging
agreement or association for the
prevention of war, unity of English-speaking
peoples will play no
small part, r.ot to invade tho
rights or exclude the fellowship
of other nations but to protect
and include them.
Faithfully yours.
WARREN G. HARDING."

PRESS COMMENT (
Home Americanization.
Discipline in the average American
home is not regarded as altogether
simple in these days when the old
rules that childre should be seen
and not heard, and should speak only
.when spoken to, have become ap
parently obsolete. But discipline is
infinitely more difficult in homes where
the children are Americans and the
parents are foreign-born. In these
cases there is frequently a pathetic
Isolation for the father and mother,
particularly for the mother. The chil
dren pick up not only our language,
but our slang which Is so difficult to
translate ,and even a contempt for
Old World ways and traditions.
Unabio to understand all the new
interests and demands of their chil
dren, these parents fall back on their
faith in the American schools. "Do as
teacher says," Is the order by which
they hope to train the children to
obedience. Unfortunately, they do not
know that what "teacher" says, and
re tricked by the clever and rapidly
developing youngsters. The Survey
for Feb. 12 cites the example o a boy''
who brought home his report card
with the prevailing grade of C- This
was in a city where the grades ranged
from T, high, to D, low. Yet the boy
easily convlnved his parents that C
was very good since It was jnear the
top of the alphabet. X, Y or Z would
be bad, but not C.
It is not enough to trust that thes9
children will come out all right In the
end through their own schooling.
They are losing the necessary pa
ternal discipline, the respect for prop
er authority and the fine things In
the home-land customs of their pa
rents. The only way to make the
safe and necessary connection be
tween these foreign-born parents and
their too-American chldren Is by ed
ucating the parents, too. Night
schools, day schools and home instruc
tion are needed, with a regular teach
ing staff instead of part-time or vol
unteer teachers. Many cities are al
ready giving special attention to these
foreign mothers, offering1 them day
instructon and helping them in many
ways to keep. up with the Americani
zation of their boys and girls. More
must be done, for their safety and that
of the whole nation are closely linked
St. Petersburg Times.
Uncertainty of Northern Climate.
The news of the blizzard that swept
the north and brought a cold wave
that continues, is further confirma
tion of the uncertainty of the northern
climate at this season of tho year. It
also upholds the contentions of South
Florida that the season for our visi
tors ought to be extended until the
middlo ot April or first cf May. Cer
tainly, March should be spent in South
Florida by all who wish to escape the
uangers of sudden changes In tho
north. Everyone knows how bitter
are the chill days of the latter part of
March and early April.
Staying In South Florida during- th-
winter is not a socal lark. It is the
better part of wisdom for those who
can afford to protect their health. It
is the practical thing- to do.
Because some of the society folk
come down here as a part of their so
cial program and stay only a few
weeks, being guided solely by conven
tion as to the date of their return,
is no reason why those who come for
the benefit of the climate should not
arrange to stay as long as climatic
dangers exist in the north. Most of
the society folks aro quite wealthy
and have palaces in which thev can
take refuge from storms.
Thi majority of the people who come
here have only ordinary homes and it
is not so easy for them to avoid the
cold blasts. They can best mak
themselves comfortable by disregard
ing the calendar adopted by the so
ciety folks and remain here until
spring really comes in their home
states. Miami Herald.
Constitution as Seen by Cardinal
Gibbons.
Too frequently the things that are
old cither are forgotten or are put
aside as of no further use in these
days when that which is now and al
luring has the greater attraction. But
there are some things that are old.
that have stood the tests of time and
experience, that han lost, none of
their worth but rather, have strength-
ened and enhanced In value with the
passage of time. Of these the con
stitution of the United States Is one,
is something that is too seldom even
In mind, particularly of the younger
generation, of the men and women who
are more oo-Iess active in the affairs
of the present. The constitution is
soraethng so old that they fail to re
alize its importance and its value.
It is well, therefore, that one who
has lived through many years of the
time in which the fundamental law
of our country has functioned, one
who still lives, revered and respected
for his preeminence no less as a clt-
i2en of the United State3 than as an I
ecclesiastical personage of world-wide
renown, it is well we repeat, that a
man of such prominence as James
cardinal Gibbons should call atten
Mn. th. Tn.t1-riii wnv that in him
1 1 othe con8mutlon and what lt 8tands
f
for.
To the generation now about to en
ter upon the duties of citizenship,
male and female, as well as to those
of maturer - years, Cardinal Gibbons
brings the constitution o ftho United
States as something old but all the
more . to bo appreciated because it
stands as the greatest safeguard ot
human liberty ever erected by man
kind. In the opening paragraph of the
copyrighted article which Cardinal
Gibbons has given to Ms fellowr citi-
comprehensive words his estimate of
the strength- and value of this funda
mental law of the land, saying:
"As the years go by I am more than
ever convinced that the constitution
of the United States is the greatest
instrument of government that; ever
issued from the hand of man. Drawn
up in the infancy of our republic, and
amid the fears and superstitions and
oppositions of many patriotic men, it
has weathered the storm periods of
American public life, and has proved
elastic, enough to withstand every
strain put upon
it by part?! spirit,
western development, world-wide Im
migration, wars little aro great, far
reaching social and economic changes,
inventions and discoveries, the growth
of Individual wealth and the vagaries
'of endless reformers. That within the
short space of 100 years we have
grown to be a great nation, so much
so that today the United States is
rightly regarded as the first among
the natons of the earth, due to the
constitution, the palladium of our lib
erties and the landmark in our march
of progress.
The man, the citizen, who wrote
these worlds is what the world terms
an old man. But Cardinal Gibbons
is only old in years, ''having been born
in 1834. He Is just as young and vig
orous in Intellect as Jn the earlier
days of his remarkable career. What
he says now is all the more valuable
because it is enriched by experience
such as comes to but few. men, how
ever prominent. He, for instance, has
known-personally all the chief justices
of the supreme court of the United
States, they upon' whom devolves final
decision of all constitutional questions.
He may be said, therefore ,to have
first-hand knowledge of the interpre
tation and enforcement of the provis
ions of the constitution which, as
above quoted, he designates as "the
greatest Instrument of government
that ever issued from the hand of
man."
And is not this designation such as
to make al Americans, and those who
desire to become citizens of.this coun
try, desire to know explicitly) what
this instrument is and to abide by it
and under. Its protection as by and
under none other of human promul
gation ?
It is well, therefore, that from this
aged man there comes a call, to those
of his fellow citizens who are younz
r, to reverence and respect that law
or the land upon which has
ed the structure of a nation greatest
among those of the earth, and where
by is the greatest guaranty of free
dom under the law that mankind ever
has had. Times-Union.
HEALTH TALKS

Insects tfay a definite role ln the
transm ssion of disease. Mosquitoes

uy t-auses more damage than any
other single insect species. Flies mav
carry diseases in two ways first hv

or drink; and second, transmission by

Important diseases carried by flies are
typhoid fever, diarrhea and emeritis!
cholera, dysentry, paratyphoid fever
intestinal parasitic infections, sleeping
sickness and certain dbeases of horses
iiu... Airican siec-ping sickness is
caused by the. bite of the Tsetse fly
(Glossina palpalis) and Is not identi
cal with the sleeping sickness now
occuring ia some of our northern cit
ies. Flies, of course, are extremely pro
lific. The complete life cycle requires
but eight or ten days. ' This means
that 3 00 eggs deposited by a single
fly Will develop in eight or ten days
into 100 adult flies capable of repeat
ins the process. Therefore, it is eas
ily seen how rapidly the flies may in
crease if careless people provide the
filth which is necessary to their re
production. All flies breed in organic
filth such as decaying vegetables,
horse manure, fermenting kitchen ref
use, garbage, human excreta and put
refying animal matter of any kind.
Proper temperature p and moisture is
also necessary for fly propagation.
The breeding season begins usually
during May ln the north and March
or April In the south and eontJnuM
until late September.
The fly has four stages in Its de-

velopment; eggs, larvae or maggot,
pupa and adult.
The eggs of the house fly are
smooth, while glistening bodies about
a twentieth of an inch in leigth and
oval in shape. Usually about twelve
hours after a female deposits a batch
of eggs, they hatch fnto the magot or
larval stage with which every one is
familiar. After three to six days the
larvae migrate and burrow Just under
the soil where they rest for about
three days, turning darker and form
ing a sac. This is known as the pu
pal stage after which the fully grown
fly emerges from the sac.
Flies do not travel very far and
usually remain within 200 or 300
yards of the breeding ground unless
carried by the wind. Therefore if
flies are found in a iiarticular neigh
borhood, it is very reliable indication
that people are careless in the handl
ing of garbage and other filth.
Fly prevention is much more suc
cessful than . fly -eradication. Fly.
breeding is inevitable if accumfllations
of filth are permitted. Public dumps
constitute a prolific source of these
insects.
REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY ADELE GARRISON.
The Stranger Appears. .
I had quite a long list in my purse of
small purchases to be made. Katie
was to be married Wednesday morn
ing. Dicky was to take his mother
to the hotel that same forenoon, I
was to address the Lotus Study club
in the afternoon, and Thursday morn-
ing Dicky and I were to start for a
week's fishing in the Catskills.
I knew that I would have no time to
come in 'again before Wednesday, so I
had a comprehensive list of all the
errands I wished to do.
At last even the smallest item on
my list was attended to, and, wearied
as only shopping can tire a woman, I
went over to the railroad station. In
my hurry of departure ln the morning
I had forgotten my mileage ticket,
so that I had to go to the ticket office
to purchase a ticket to Marvin.
I had forgotten all about the man
who had annoyed me in the reception
room of the Sydenham, and the Eng- 9tars by Beticelli's allegorical pic
llsh tea room, so,, when I turned from ture of "Spring," most pilgrims look
buying my ticket to find him stand- un from the2r ,,ide book, and affirm
ing near enough to me to have heard
the name of Marvin, I was startled
and terrified.
He did not once glance toward me,
however, but strolled away quickly,
as if ln finding out the name of my
home town he had learned all he
wished.
I was thoroughly upset as I hur
ried to my train, and all through my
hour's journey home to Marvin the
thought of the man troubled me. What
was the secret of his persistent es
pionage? The coincidences of the day
had been too numerous for me to
doubt that the man was following me
around with the intention of learning
my Identity.
Lillian had strengthened my original
belief that the man was no ordinary
"masher." Indeed, if he had been, I
felt that the problem of getting rid
of him would have been simpler.
When the train stopped at Marvin I
was aghast to see the mysterious
stranger alight from it hurriedly and
go Into the waiting room cf the sta
tion. I thought I saw his scheme.
From tho window of the station he
could see me as I alighted, and either
ascertain my identity from the station
agent or from the driver of whatever
taxi I took. -
I had only felt terror of the man
before, but now I was thoroughly in
dignant. "The thing had gpne far
enough", I told myself grimly. Instead
of getting off the train I passed to the
next car, resolving to stop at the next
village. Crest Haven, and take a taxi
home from there. .
The ruse succeeded. As the train
sped on toward Crest Haven I had a
quiet little smile at the way I had
foiled the curiosity of the mysterious
stranger.
I debated for some time whether or
not I ought to tell Dicky of the incl-
THE GREAT AMERICAN
dent. I had had so much experience
of his Intensely jealous temperament
that I feared he might magnify and
distort the incident.
Finally I temporized by resolving
to say nothing to Dicky unless the
man's tracking of me reached the
point -ot attempting to spieak to me.
But the consciousness of keeping a
secret from Dfcky made me pre-occu-pied
during our dinner.
Dicky reached home an hour after I
did, and all through the dinner hour
I noticed him casting curious glances
at me from time to time.
"What's the matter?" he asked, as
after dinner he and I went out to the
screened porch to drink our coffee.
Mjother Graham, still nursing the
grievance of Dicky's persistence in
taking the mountain trip with me re
gardless of her wishes, declined to ac
company us saying that the dining
room was good enough for her.
"Why, nothing", I responded guilt
ily. "Why do you ask?"
"You act as if you thought you had
the responsibility of the great war on
your shoulders," Dicky returned.
"I haven't a care in the world", I
assured him gayly, and arousing my
self from my depression I spent the
next hour ln gay, inconsequential
chatter in an attempt to prove to
Dicky that I meant what I said.
In the kitchen I heard the voices
of Jim and Katie. They were raised
earnestly as if discussing something
about which they disagreed. Present
ly Katie appeared on the veranda.
"Plees, Missis Graham, can you Joost
coom to kitchen, joost one little meen
it." "Certainly, Katie." I replied, rising,
while Dicky mumbled a half-laughing,
half serious protest.
"I'll be back in a minute. Dicky," I
! promised, lightly,

"SPRING"
When a man's reputation as a great
i artist has been established for four,
j hundred and twenty years, lt takes a J
remarkable amount of courage to
j frankly disagree with the long estah-
lished verdict upon the quality of his
i work. So when Baedeker puts two
"how wonderful." Then they buy a

let it go at that!
Anyway, that's what tho members)

more years had elapsed, since I first

Even Venus was tall and slim so
slim that she looked like an olive fork.
On the left of Venus stands Mercury,
with the Graces, all whom look hungry'-
While Flora, accompanied
Zephyr the Spring Wind, dances on
the right. Flora is thin too; she looks
as if a gentle sigh of Zephyr might
blow her away. The whole picture Is
permeated with a profound sense
of .melancholy, the influence of
which one can't explain. Any more
than one can escape its spell. Perhaps
Milton had this picture in mind when
he wrote "II Penserosa" for these

Fast" so "Oft doth diet."
Perhaps - tho reason why we could
not reconcile ourselves to Botticelli's
Hooverized maidens, was because our
mine's and hearts were crowded with
glorious memories of Titan's plump
beauties. Of the exquisite curves of
hi3 Flora, and Titian's equally charm-.

Titian's women are sure enough wom

phisticated eyes of the second decade
of the twentieth century, our admira
tion for this artist's work might grow
apace.
Today, feminine beauty differs much
from Hogarfs Ideal. There are no
more curved lines. Now, Venus, must
be tall and slim. She might dispense,
perhaps, with her height, but never
under any conditions can an up to
date Venus have hips. All their
clothes are thin and scant. Why. ac
tually Sandro Boticelli might adver
tise as a first class tailor, If he was
not a dead artist. His Graces are
not tucked nor flounced any more
than the season's debutantes. In nei
ther instance do the maidens wear
enough clothes to make one ruffle.
So, perhaps today, all the world
might admire the olive forked Venus,
in the master's picture of "Spring."
as much as they love his color and his
flowers. He certainly got exquisite
effects in foliage; and no ether artis
ever painted flowers with a deeper af,
I
fectlon. Flowers, light, and fashion,
these three attributes of his painting,
are sure to popularize his work among
women.
It would be different among the
men; for by the side of Venus, Is Cu

nor to havo shot a single arrow. He
is not strong enough to shoot anyone.
His thin young arms recall photo

grown man can stand for (uch a

there are artists who will deem me
"half-shot" either by Cupid or some
thing stronger.

Since the auditor made his report On
the water works there has been a de-
cidd improvement in that depart-
ment. e have not been without water
on ast" Hm sInce then and the lniP;
ae has been less bcause B f
the ibad leak have been t0PP "
the glnen have been put in better
condition, so that they get more water
to a pound of coaL
Now one thing more In that depart
ment. There 13 a lot of free water
that ought to be cut out. It can be
found ln the report.
We also have the report of the oth
er departments and find it as bad
as the water part.
The floating debt of the city in
creased in 1320 over 1819 30,655. It
stands now something over 143,000.
Then there ar unpaid bills, bonds and
warrants past due and not provided
for, SS2.7C4.25. So you see where we
are drifting to unless there is a halt.
Anybody can get the proof if they
want it.
Respectfully. .

Short and sudden was the call
Of one so dearly loved by all;
Iier happy smile, her pieaBant ftcf.
None can ever take her place. :.J
God knows how much we miss her
And sees the tears we shed,
And whispers, Hush, she only sleeps
Your loved one is not ead.
