THANKSGIVING DAY.
The founders of this country believed that God is managing
human destiny, and that if faithfully obeyed He would guard and
preserve those of His children who ventured across the stormy
sea's into this unknown wilderness. And even before they had
gained a real foothold, and while their future looked ominous,
they appointed a day of thanksgiving to God. Now there is the
same danger that. our people will forget the God who led the
fathers, as that some men who pray with all their hearts while in
some bodily peril, will forget God when they recover and life
seems smiling. But if this republic is to endure and be worth
preserving, it must not lose that reliance upon the divine force
that heartened our forefathers in their hard struggle. Many na
tions that forgot God and His laws in the past have gone down
into the dust, and nothing is left of their greatness but decaying
ruins. The American people in their thoughtless way appoint a
holiday of thanksgiving to God and then use it for football games
and sporting life. They mean no harm and they need the relaxa
tion. But it would not hurt them a bit to spend some part of the
day in Thanksgiving devotions. Many people, no matter how
difficult their lot, can see some brighter side of their life for which
in common decency they ought to give thanks. And as for the
nation, it has abundant reason for thankfulness, that it passed
through a world shaking catastrophe with less suffering than
other peoples.
And the real thanksgiving day is no mere thing of personal
feeling, but iT seeks out the poor and needy and makes them share
in the general well being. A Thanksgiving day observance that
does nothing for those who are in doubt whether they have reason
for thankfulness, observes the letter rather than the spirit of the
occasion.
o
Don't try to get clear around that Thanksgiving turkey
otherwise you may not be able to be around tomorrow.
o
Today is the day we should all be thankful for the many
blessings bestowed upon us during the past year.

Espee Announces
Wage Conference
, SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23. The
Southern Pacific company has called
conferences of all Its railway em
ployes to "negotiate a revision of
rates of pay" it was announced offi
cially tonight at company headquar
ters here.
The management's wage proposals
in practice, It Is believed will amount
substantially to re-establi'hineiit of
vage scales tr'U were In effect at the
end of the period of federal control.
March 1, 1920. The statement was
given with the authority of J. H.
Dyer, general manager.
Dates for conferences between the
management and employes for dis
cussion of the proposed adjuslmenl
were set for December 20 and 21. but
the company announced the "man
agemit wil. he glad to arrange for
earlier conferences of any craft of
crafts upon application."
The company's statement gave no
tice of Its desire to "negotiate a re
vision of rates of pay that are Just
and reasonable, based on the cost of
Hiving rates paid for similar work ana
'in outside Industries and other re
levant circumstances that are dlrcct-
ily or indirectly reiaiea io "
A brief resume of wace Increases
granted and probable effect of the
new proposals Is given In the state
ment made pu'ullc here:
"Under a decision of the United
States railroad labor board, railroad
wages were Increased approximately
22 per cent effective May 1, 1920:
then on July 1, 1921, were reduced
about 12 per cent. The present pro
posal of the company would likely
result in the remaining portion of
the 22 per cent increase being wiped

0SMIRIDIUM ONE OF HARDEST
Metal Is Employes In Tipping of Faun.
Uln Pens and for Del lea ts
Machinery Bearings.
An Interesting history attaches to
small packet about two and half
Inches square wbicb recently arrived U
Loudon. It weighed two aud a half
pounds and was eagerly bought by an
Amerlcau linn for about $0,000. The
packet contained osmlrldlum (osmium
aud Its alloy, Iridium), used for the
tipping of fountain pen points and for
delicate bearing of Due machinery.
The discovery of osmlrldlum, wbicb
Is a member of the platinum group of
metals, constitutes an Interesting ro
mance, the Detroit News states. To
ward the end of the last year a small
group of prospectors were washing for
,cold in one of the river beds In Papua,
British New Guinea. In their euger
ness to find the precious metal they
threw away from their pans bluish
gray, fluxy substance as worthless.
This was osmlrldlum, snd It Is eight
times more vuluable than gold and
worth at the present time about $200
an ounce.
' When the men got back to the set
tlement they mentioned the occurrence
to a mining engineer, who Immediately
asked them what they did with the
substance. They replied that they
left It on the river bank, and the en
gineer exclaimed, "It must be osmlrld
lum." The next morning the whole party
started for the spot, only to find on
their arrived that the tropical rains
and the swollen river had washed
away most of the precious stuff. What
remained was carefully raked together,
refined and dispatched to London,
where It arrived safely a short while
ago, having been heavily Insured for
the voyage.
Osmlrldlum Is one of the hardest
metals known and prospectors are
eagerly searching for It In Papua.
SEE STARS IN GREAT FLOCK
Latest Group Discovered Believed to
Contain Equivalent of Quarter
Million of Our Suns.
Every new Invention of the as
tronomer's observatory enlarges the
distance he can peer Into space sod
measure Its receding boundaries, so
that one can never say which Is the
farthest star.
But we can say which Is at the farthv
est distance measured. This honor It
at present borne by a tiny blur of llghl
which has no name and a few years
ago was not noticed, but which is now
Identified in the new general catalogue
of stars as No. 7008 or, more pre
clsely, N. Q. C. 7008.
It Is not really one star, bnt great
flock of stars, probably containing
more than the equivalent of a quarter
of a million of our suns, and It Is so
far away that If some unkown ss
tronoimr could flash' a light signs!
at us from one of the suns or planets
there it would be nearly a quarter of
a million years before that message
could reach us.
There Is good reason to believe that
this flock of stars Is moving toward
as. It Is hardly necessary to say, that
!t will take a long time coming.
An Elastic Metal.
The most remarkable thing about
vanadium steels is their almost mirac
ulous elasticity. Today the metal va
nadium is comparatively cheap. Yet
only 30 years ago It .sold at $450 a
pound, and was hardly more than
curiosity of the chemical laboratory.
When a use Is found for a rare
metal, sources from which It may be
obtained In quantity are sure to be
discovered. Thus, when the value of
vanadium for steel alloys was ascer
tained, the fact was soon disclosed
tlirt vast ore beds containing It ex
isted In Colorado. It Is from these
beds that the demand Is now supplied.
The ores are sandstone. Impregnated
with vanadium, and are dug out In
enormous quantities. A by-product of
vanadium mining Is uranium, from
which radium Is obtained.
Mythology.
Hebe was the goddess of youth, who
poured ont the nectar with which the
gods pledged each other. One day,
upon a solemn occasion, she tripped
and fell, snd was forced to resign her
offlce. Her father, Jupiter, secured as
her successor the besuttful youth
Ganymede. Heb retained the power
of restoring the bloom of youth and
beauty to the aged and, according to
some accounts, it was only after she
became the wife of Hercules that she
gsve up her ofllce of cupbearer. She
even succeeded In .reconciling her
mother, Juno, to Hercules, who suf
fered sll his life from the hatred of
the queen of the gods.

Dear Mrs. Ellsbury: Will you'
please answer the following ques-1
tlon. I am deeply In love with a
beautiful girl and wish to marry
her, but I can't get up enough-nerve
to ask the fatal question which will
mean my future happiness How
would yon ask the question, and take
the answer If it were negative?
A LOVE SICK YOUTH.
Aos. It Is natural that you should
feel timid about asking her, but you
cannot keep putting It off forever.
The next time you are alone and you
think the moment is auspicious,
simply tell her that you love her
and ask her if she will marry you.
That is all that is necessary. If she
refuses you, and you feel that her
answer is final, the best thing for
you to do is to forget all about her
as quickly as possible. It will do
you no good to brood about It.
.
Dear Mrs. Ellsbury: I am giving
a dinner and theater party on
Thanksgiving. The dinner Is at 6,

WORRIED HOUSEKEEPER.
Ans. Yen, I think it would be
nice to have them go back to your
house after the show, and sit by the
nre ror a nan Dour on an Hour. Serve
coffee, cake, and brick Ice cream or
substitute some kind of frozen des
sert for Icecream. Do not serve cof
fee unless you serve wafers or cake
with the dessert. Have plenty of
cigars for the men. A silk dress or
dressy wool dress would be appro
priate. t '
