Of course, there areothshrdluuuuuu memfw wwf , Of course, there are other sidelights to the ideal citizen, but the quality of loyalty is one which produces tangible re- results. J here are three distinct attitudes which a person may assume toward the community which houses and feeds him to boost, to remain Quiescent .or to knock. -w. The booster pushes his town alonir. the ouiescent citizen lulls it to sleep, and the knocker helps to put it out of busk i less. Which are you? Perhaps you have never given it a thought. You may not realize yoursell which you are but your neighbors alJ know. They have you accurately catalogued according to your deserts. If you are a booster, they admire you; if you are quies cent, they wonder when you will emerge from your slum ber; and if you are a knocker, they yearn for the day when you will fold up your tent and silently fade away. Roost the home town, and its citizens will boost you. Knock it, and you knock yourself infinitely more. life is the binds social institution of the country " suyn the report."

Terrific explosions send tons of the hissing, molton stuff beyond the gravity attraction of the plante to which it originally atached.

Very often, meteors explode as they near the earth.This is due to the cooling, which expands g:ases within them. Sooner or later man converts every destructive force to constructive ends.
