I got this fact from the bishop of the diocese. If you will let your glass stand half an hour you can separate the land from the water as easy as Genesis, and then you will And them both good— the one to eat, the other to drink.

Ebony Mentioned in Bible The deep black heart wood, which Is most highly prised In a number of trees of the ebony fumily, Is mentioned In the Bible In Ezekiel 27:15. In con nection with Ivory, probably on ac count of their value and of their con trasting colors. Ebony was once sup posed to grow In the ground “without root or leaves” und to It were as cribed many miraculous powers. The chief source of the ebony wood Is the Island of Ceylon, where huge logs of the pure henrtwood are cut and hauled to th> coast. For Interior decorations ‘ n id furniture ebony has been super«»- d by rosewood and ma hogany, hut for cabinet work It Is still widely employed, being exported from Madagascar, Jamaica, India and Egypt.

Every morning the diggers come out ! of their holes and set out for the opal fields, to cut patiently through the roek In the hope of finding the beau tiful blnck diamonds lying beneath. Between them they have dug many thousands of dollars’ worth of opal In the last four years, though they have j ,vorged only a small area of a field said to be 40 miles long. In normal times opal Is worth about »15 an ounce, hut now that there Is practical ly no demand for the gems the diggers have opal, but no money. Almost Evened the Serie» Hrs.

This conversation In a Portland office la typical of the quick ; wit and ready response of Azadouhl j ' Pachalian, who was brought to Amer lea by her foster mother, Mrs. Pearl , R. Gannaway, formerly of Medford and ! I Seattle. “L ittle Azadouhl is no more lovable nor brighter than the majority of the , 8,500 children over whom Dr. Oanna way has medical oversight In Beirut | Syria,” states Mrs. Gannaway. "II was her utter helplessness during the six months we fought so hard for het life that endeared her to us so that we felt we could not give her up and I brought her to America to adopt her.” In Judge Tallm an’s court In Seattle the adoption was carried out while she, four and a half years old selemnly raised her hand and declar ed, “I adopt you as my mamma.” Azadouhl was the first and onlj child of a young couple of education and refinement and waa born shortly after the armistice was signed and because it was thought that freedom had come she was named Azadouhl (daughter of freedom). But the dost of the war did not bring peace tc the Near East and during the list three years more than a million peo pie have been rendered homeless Many of these who are now homeless refugees were three years ago living In modern, steam heated homes and were sending their children to for eign countries for an education. Aza douhi and her parents were among those exiled. The father was driver Into the Turkish army where he wat killed. Azadouhl and her mother wan dered In the woods from the time she was nine months old until she was a year old when both mother and child were suffering from measles, pneu monla and dysentery. They found refuge In a Near East hospital only to be discovered by the Turks, who two days later drove th, mother out to die. Why they left the bahy no one knows. Then began the longest and hardest fight of Dr Gannaway’a long medical career. The result speaks for Itself In this happy, bonny girl, who in a test made at Cheney Normal School, showed a men tallty of eight years at the age ol four and a half. "There are thousands of children with alt of Azadouhl's capabilities 1 homeless In Greek nnd Syrian refugee cam»s today. They are beyond the reach of the Near East Relief slmplx because present funds are exhausted when we have cared for the fifty thousand children already In our care Recently a bereaved mother gave m< »80 to guarantee the care for a yeai of a child such as Azadouhl.

It la much more than a statue to D'Artagnan, who never existed, for the world until Du- mua called him Into being. It Is more than a statue to ('hurles de Basts Css demore, the original of Dumas' hero who was bom not far from Aucb. Il is really a statue to Dumas and the human Imagination. Everything that has made D’Artag- nun memorable and International came front a great maker of romances— D'Artagnan is one of the many crea tions of poets and writer« that have become more real than reol men. It Is always a fine thing to see rec « ognition of such, the New York Sun a comment«. There might even be more ia statues to great characters of liters a lure und fewer statues to little char a acters of “real” life.
