Novel Bicycle This novel bicycle Ice speeder carrying two passengers besides the oper ator, was made by attaching a fork of wood to the original fork of the bicy cle and Ice skates fitted on this the same as on the heel of a shoe. The rear tire Is non-skid and a piece of chain can be put on Just the same as Is used on an automobile tire to prevent skidding. LOVER WITH WINGS No more your chariot with wines Shall sail the conquered sky; How Ions before my heart shall cease To hear you planing by? You went the hard way to the stars. Lover of mine with wings! Bo often and so Ions outsoared. The trail of earthly things Was but the chain of gossamer That snaps ut noon's fierce kiss; Nay, was the love that bound our souls So frail a thing as this? 0 fine, fair spirit! Dreamward-bound. I climb your trackless space; Is there yet room among your stars For my remembered face? Music you made for me Is hushed; Yet still, on muted strings, 1 hear the throbbing of your flight Lover of mine with wings! Ethel M. Hewitt In Harper's Magazine. 700,000 Men of Draft Age in the United States Who Cannot Read or Write Any Language The war revealed an extent of Il literacy In America almost unbeliev able, notes a writer in Leslie's. Sec retary of the Interior Lane points out that there are 700,000 men of draft age In the United States who cannot read or write In English or In nny other language. There are 5,000,000 persons over ten years of nge who can not read or write In any language. The regular army never enlisted illiterates, but the draft act brought into the army approximately 33,000 llllterntes and as many more who were almost Illiterate. These soldiers could not sign their names. They could not read the manual of arms. They could not read their letters or write home. They could not read their dally orders post ed on bulletin boards In camp. They could not understand signals In time of battle. The economic loss through Illiteracy Is estimated at $825,000,000 n year, on the conservative assumption that the productive labor value of an Illiterate Is less by only CO cents a day than that of an educated person. Ten per cent of our country folk cannot read or write a word. In view of these facts, Secretary Lane urges an appropriation for a systematic cam paign to eradicate adult illiteracy.

Ice Speeder Size of Poland Ranks ai Fifth European Nation Notwithstanding the fact that In the war nearly 3.000.000 Polish-speaking soldiers were forced Into fratricidal combat, driven Into battle by German and Austrian and Hussion conscrip tions, to light their cousins and broth ers, many persons seem to believe Poland a small nation, writes Freder ick Moore In World's Work. They for get the magnitude of Its historic do main and the numbers of Its people. The kingdom of Holeslnus the Great (092-1025) stretched from the Haltlc sea to the Carputhlans. It deluded part of Saxony, the whole of Silesia, and stretched away almost to Merlin. In 1772, when came the first dismem berment. Poland covered 300,000 square miles, almost 100,000 miles more than the German empire of today. Its po ulatlon was 11,500.000. It ranks, In deed with Italy as the fifth European nation. Hefore the outbreak of the war there was n compact mass of 35, 000,000 people In Europe speaking the Polish longuage; and whatever ruler might claim dominion over them, they were one; no mutilation of the nation al body, no cruelties or oppressions, 8 The cares of the day, old moralists say, Are quite easy to perplex one; Then drive today's sorrow away till to morrow. And then put it off till tho next one. Charles Dickens. Food for the Family.
