AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
Reservations for the American
Ivtfi m'i ninth Annual Convention
in Pat if, Fiance, Sept. 19 to 23
inclusive, indicate that the Amer
ican people are keenly inttrtsted
in their American Merchant ma
rine.
This statement was contained
in a report made to Howard P.
Savage, National commander, by
Jno J. Wicker Jr., National Trav
! director, that more reservations
had been made on U. S. Liners
than on any of the ships contrib
uted by the other six parttcipat
inn steamship companies,
" The American Merchant Ms
rine leads in the number of reer
vations made". National com
mander Savage said.
"Furthermore, the reservations
include Larfionaires and other el
egibles from every state in the
union, indicating positively that
Legionairs not only are villing to
travel on dry ships, but that they
wi-h to support American owned
lines and help maintain the Amer
lean flag on the high seas.
Fraternal Resolutions
Whereas, the great Master saw
that disappointment and separa
tion were nectssar, and has made
them holy and elevating and,
Whereas; we are called to separ
ate from our worthy brother. R.
A. Farrens, let us remember there
is healing in the bitter cup. God
takes away from us those we love
as hostages of our faith; and to
those who look forward to a re
union, in another world, where
. there will be no separation, the
evening of life becomes more de
lightful than the morning and
the sunset offers brighter and
lovelier visions than those we
build in the morning clouds and
which disappear before tht
strength of day.
Therefore: be it resolved that
Dry Fork Grange No 63 extend
to our berelt bisters our sympa
thy and .condoWnce.
Be it further resolved that a
copy of these rexolntiotis be sent
to sister Farrens and family, thai
a copy be sent to the lune Inde
. pendent for publication and thai
a copy be spread on our records.

AMER.CAN FORKS T WEEK

begun but needing the strong sup
port of our collective will and iu
teligence. Tnrough joint arrange
ment Canada is observing forest
week concurrently with us.

the hnmls will lie iniule to apeak
Kurd und sentences In exactly the
sumo way as the mouth does.
The iclentut In question Is Sir
RVhnrd 1'iiKct, who, with the aid of
b lions aud a metnl tulip, which take
the plnce of the lunpt ntul wlntlplpe,
litis nintle his lunula "speak" words In
reninrknhly nnlurul way. In the
course of demonstration. Sir Itlch
aul explained that vocal sounds are
produced by the action of utr passing
over the opening of a cavity; he Illus
trated this by models nmde of plustl
cine and cardboard. Hy supplying ulr
to these models he imnle them utter
vcwel sounds and even words, such as
i.ianmia," "Minnie," "rather," and
"veil,"
Then, discarding the models, he
used his hands only, and made them
"talk" so that every one could hear
and understand Moistening his hands
to prevent the leakage of air, he ma
nipulated them In conjunction with

Primitive Place of
Worship for Indians
What Is belltfved to be the nn '
primitive church In the world Is to It
found Id San Diego county, southern
California,.
It Is known as the Sancta Isabel
mission, and Is used by the Indians of
the district. The church Is built of
brushwood. The entrance Is effected
by climbing rude ladder placed
against the low side walls. Two bells
are suspended from a cross beam In
front of the church, and a rude cross
of pine has been erected uixm a, small
leveled surfuoe, which Is utilized for
opcn-alr services should the congrega
tion be too numerous to be accommo
dated within the uurrow limits of the
brush shelter. -
The great majority of worshipers In
tills strnngo church are Chrlstluulxed
Indians. As these mission stations
become of greater Importance more
acvoniiuodattoo U provided, aud many
of the long established oues are elab
orate stone edifices; but In nearly
every Instance they have sprung from
primitive structures such as the one
described, which are erected wlierever
a new site for a mission statlou is
chosen.
"Flying Into the Part"
Few persons would thiuk of the air

but by means of this modern vehicle
a structure which onee may well have
rivaled Stonehenge, on ' Salisbury
Plain, has Just been located near
Amesbury. Though Its pillars have en
tirely vanished, their socket-hole, seen
from a height, showed up distinctly.
F.lsewhere, within two or three
years, this method of Invest igntlon
tins revealed new earthworks, one
within a mile of Salisbury cathedral
and even the shapes of the fields
once cultivated by the Celtic ances
tors of Englishmen of today have
stood revealed. Even slight variations

strainers, or they swallow the lish and
blow out the water through a hand
some fountain in the top of their head,
according lo the model on which their
works are constructed.

Real Toy Town
The real toy town of Itrllulti Is Lon

horties and doll-houses come lu limit
sands from factories In south London
In the old days wooden toys were
aiostly made hy home workers, each
of whom devoted his or her time to
the production of one particular ar

Increasing competition from Germany
pructlcully killed this sort of work.

Gig Discovery Mad 3

telescope lu April, 18f. It wns the

Attire Hard to Adjutt
The original dress of the Scottish
liljilsndcr was the Celtic felle-brea
cun. or belted plaid, this Mug m piece
of tartan cloth two yards broad and
four long, drawn around the waist In
rurefully adjusted folds, and II mil)
buckled with a belt. Like the modern
kill, the lower part reached the knees
while the upper was (tied to the shoul
tier In a manner to permit perfect
freedom of the right arm. In wet
weather the plaid or upper part of
cloth served as a covering for the
shoulders. It required considerable
detterlty for a Highlander to attire
himself In belted plaid. The method
usually employed was to lay It on the
floor and, after the folds had been
carefully arranged, to lie down npon
It and buckle It on. Vuncouver Prov
ince. Birth of the Ego
It Is easy to see that great economic
advantage accrued to the Indlvldunt.
and hence to the race, through the ac
quisition of self consciousness. It en
abled each man to economise enor
mously his expenditure of energy by
concentrating upon (!eflnlte desirable
accomplishments. Instinctive Impulses
and urges now had something to an
chor and control them. Instead of he
Ing switched about by every new and
passing sense Impression. Man had
acquired tht capability of thinking
consciously "I want, I will." And so
was born egoism. From "Concerning
Irascible Strong." hy William II.

Portents of Sr.ce ting
In Ihe ancient days f Greece nnd
Home a sneeze wss Hipposed to hear
In Its train fur greuti-i portents than
a mere cold. To aneize while rising
from the table or bed was said to Indl
cate approaching death.
Yet, to sneeze belv.ien midday nnd
midnight under favorable planetury
conditions, wns an un"iry of happi
ness. Again, If the Greek or Human
lamed to the right while sneezing, It
was regarded as a happy omen.
