Truth In Statement That Man With Morning 8mlle Is Worth Hla Entire Tribe. There were optimists In King^Fut Ankh-Amen's time who. mot the far-off mornings with a smile. And from all accounts of a statue they found in the king's tomb, the art ist caught the Inspiration of the smile and preserved it for the long after centuries. In one sense, it wus the same world then that it is today. They had their Joys and sorrows, and smiles and tears contended for the mabtery.

They never tried to sinile away | their troubles ! Varying types of them are with us today, but one optimist, with a morn ing smile, Is worth them all ! ? Atlanta ; Constitution. ? Treasure Sunk In Ocean. Sunken treasure worth millions lies at the bottom of the Navnrlno bay, on the west coast of Greece. This glitter ing prospect, long tho object of many fortune seekers, has finally found Its way Into British courts. Many com panies have been formed to recover the gold from the land-locked bay of Navnrfno. None has succeeded. One concern, with $200,000 capital, was formed In 1913, but the war stopped It. The concession expired in 1020, then was taken over by two London engineers, who now come forward in a suit under art agreement to find money for digging the treasure. The agreement fell through, and one of the litigants has to be content with treas ure to the extent of $2.">0 awarded by the court. The treasure has been re sisting all comers for nearly one hun dred years. It went down In the ships of the Turkish Egyptian fleet, sunk by allied fleets In 1827. Sixty-two ships In all were sunk In this battle. Gold and Jewels to the value of 120, (XX), 000 gold francs sunk, while Ave other ships went down with $.\000,000 of plate and specie. America's Shortage in Oil Suppllea. Although the United States pro duces ubout 70 per cent of the world's oil, it alrendy oonsumos 20 per cent more than It produces.

ENABLES BLIND TO READ MUSIC Blind Printer Invents System by Which Sightless Musicians Can Read Notes Easily. Jacksonville, 111. Five yours ago' L. W, Jfeodenberg, blind printer *of the mute school for t hu blind, begun ex periment* to perfect u system of niu ulcttl scores for the bllml. In lO-it Ids device bus been accepted by till tbe leading Institutions for tbe blind In tbe United Stutes, and tbe school ut Jacksonville now publishes more music than any other Institution in America. Formerly when a blind musician would run h(p Angers over * the em bossed dots, of his score, he could read only notes designed for the left bund without the slightest knowledge of what the composition us u whole would sound like. Then he hud to go back to flud out wbut the right hand's part was like, sln<Je each score wai printed separately. Alternate Two Clefs. The Kngllsh devised u different sys tem by \yhlch they ,pluced the treble and bass alternately. That is, there would be a few lines for the left hand and then a few for tho right hand, but even this Innovation did not please the blind musician^ who wanted to study the full score of the composi tion as they proceeded. Mr. Itodenberg devised eighteen dif ferent system** while he conducted his experiments and submitted them to teachers oi* the blind throughout the country, asking them to select the one ?which seemed most practicable. The system chosen has been re ceived with acclamation by the blind musicians everywhere, and the presses at Jacksonville are kept busy meeting the demand for music written accord ing to the new system. Uses "Bar Over Bar" Method. It sounds simple enough, according to Mr. Kodenberg, He .calls*1 it the "bar over oar" method. Instead of printing^ the whole composition for the left bund and then following the music for the right, after the manner of a pyzzle In. which the two parts must be pieced together, Mr. Koden ! berg follows the conventional method of printing music. On the top line of the page Is print ed the score for left hand. Just un derneath he places the ri^ht hand score. Thus a blind musician can read with both hands at once and get a per fect Idea of what tho composition as a whole will sound like. Buddhists Plan Drive for Hawaii Converts Honolulu. ?

(llucoklnhi, a vegetahlo extract that may be obtained from on ions, lettuce heads and bean stalks, and said to possess virtually all the properties of insulin, was hailed as an inexpensive substitute for that drug In the treatment of diabetes cases by the American Chemical society. Discovery of the extrnct was credited to Dr. J. J. Willaman, associate pro fessor of biochemistry In the University of Minnesota. Professor Willaman explained the name of the new extract as derived' from glycogen, or animal starch. It is Injected into persons suffering from the illness, and because of its slow ness In developing effects and length of maintenance, is In some respects even superior to Insulin, he said. Gly cogen is abundant In clams and oysters, yeast and mushrooms, hut experimen tation demonstrated the cheapest and best way to get it in glucokinin form was through vegetables.

Three trainmen were shot and killed; the mail car dyna mited; the charge killing a mail clerk, and looted. The robbers escaped with an undetermined amount of loot. The dead: S. L. Hates, of Dqnmuir, engineer; Marvin Seng, Redding, fireman; C\ (). Johnson, Ashland and a mail clerk, # No passengers were molested by the bandits or injured by the explo sion, so far as could be learned to night. The robbery and slaying were be lived to have been the result of one ,of the. most carefully planned holdups in the history of Western railroading. Only two men participated in the rob bery, according to reports received here. One version of the robbery was that an explosion blew away part of the roof of the tunnel, causing it to cave in on the train. As the engineer brought the train to a stop the two robbers advanced to the locomotive and shot the engineer, fireman and Johnson, who was believed to have been riding In the engine, although he was not on duty, , Hates and Seng evidently died in stantly with bullets through their brains. Johnson was shot in the chest and died a few minutes later. The bandit then ran to the mail car and blew the door open with a charge of dynamite, which ripped a gaping hole in the car and setting it on fire. This explosion is believed to have "One 'Rang' in the Fall Makes the Whole World Grin" Because every regular feller knows his days of real sport have come again.
