Keeks, in "Our r Dumb Animal*".) I hare never wen a polar bear in a zoo that wuh not the picture of abject misery. Perhaps he is not always no, but when one think* of the contrast between hi* life there and that of hi* native haunt*, one wonder* how he could ' otherwise. The great white creature is a lover of coldP of wide stretches over which to roam, and of vigorous exercise both along shore and in the water. It* home in summer i* within the Arctic Circle, and it ha* been seen further north than any other animal. In the winter the male* wander ?ome distance south that they may *till be where there i* open Wnjler, for it i? from the *ea that most of their food j* obtained. Land is of far less consequence to them than broken ice, and they have been seen a burnt rest mile* from shore quite at home in the cqjd northern seas. They ure among the most powerful of beasts and,'to all appearances, tireless swimmers. In winter, the food of the polur bear consists almost wholly of fish and seal; but in spring and summer its diet ranges from mosses, roots, and grass, to animal life of all sorts. | It is a keen and cunning hunter, with a remarkably sharp sense of both *ight and hearing and an intelligence that at time* seems almost human. Only the mother bears den up and hii>ernate through the coldest months. The males prefer to brave the storms und cold of the northern winters abroad; and for this their heavy coats and the thick layer of fat just under the skin well fit them. In autumn, the she-bears grow exceedingly fat. Late in November the expectant mother leaves the shore line and goes inland to find a deep drift of snow among the rocks. In this, she digs down as far as possible, and there curls up for her long nap. More snow drifts over heT, hut always her warm breath keeps open a small inle?t for air. Sometime in January the little ones are born, usually two in number, and, for all the great size of the mother, not much bigger than full grown rats and as blind and helpless as baby kittens. By the last of March they have grown to the size of foxes and their mother's store of food has very nearly been exhausted. Now the long polar night is ended and the sun appears for a little while each day. The snow is softening, and the family break through the walls that have enclosed them and make their way to water. At the sea-shore, the little ones soon learn to swim, to dive for fish, and to do many things that make up the life of a polar bear. They are very full of energy and among the most playful of all young creatures. Their mother is the personification of mother love and devotion. She knows no personal fear in protecting her charges, and woe to that man or beast who attempts to harm her or in any way to arouse her suspicions or to incur her ire. Is it any wonder that such a beast as this finds It hard to be reconciled to warm weather, narrow walls, a tank of water but little longer than its own body? Milk Line Allowed. Columbia.?Quickly and encouragingly. the state railroad commission granted Henry R. Myers permission to operate a motor freight line from Knightville, a small community near Summerville, to Charleston, in order to serve dairymen of the section. Governor To Name Students.

Dunbar and Harry Myers >>f Savannah. (la., about ten miles from Crocketville. Hampton county. , and forced the occupants to leave their cars, (two new Ford coupes) and each car was driven off by the robbers. The Ruick was driven across the road to stop the cars, and when one driver attempted to go around ho was stopped with pistol shots. Large I?egkm Poat. Columbia.?Richland post, of which Dr. A. H. Hayden, Jr., la..commander, has reached a membership of 605? the largest the post has ever had, and within about 75 of the largest any American Legion post has ever hsd in 1 this state. Go To School Every Day! The i-ucceftttful farmer got* to school every day in hi* held* and in hih barn' lie mutt at all time* be alert to solve difficult problem*. Oh, of tour**, he never think* of it a* an education; because he ha* been taught to thidfc of education a* a matter of book* and gotiqg po school. (Joint; to scljool may give ?* man a good foundation on which to build; but it takes life to reajly educate him in a broad way. Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, Edison and others got their higher education in the school of 'experience and hard knock*.' Here is what the Southern Agriculturist has lately said editorially on this subject: (Joing to school i? effective in edcation to the extent that the student is trained in the habit of thinking and working out solutions to difficult* [ problems. > Hut any other activity that leads the individual to think clearly and apply himself energetically to ?the solutiori of problems is educational also. (Joing to school is only one of the many ways of training the mind, and with many it is not the beat way. Sitting in the classroom, reading and reciting may mean little or nothing in educational values. Hoys and girl* may even go through schools with passing grades and miss real education almost altogether. A leading American university president said a year or two ago, that 50 per cent. o<f the college and university students in this country would be better off out of college than in college. From psycological tests made during the World War it i? estimated that eight par cant, of the children (and this means more than a million) are incapable of getting anything of educational value from our school system, and that the 15 per cent next above these can get but little education from our school system. Practically all could, doubtless, get much in mental training from Nature's school, if they were allowed to work in Nature's school. Men and women, boys and girls who devote themselves seriously to hard work in the great world of reality, and apply their minds vigorously to the solution of the problems that present themselves from day to day are more really going to school than those who look only to the school-, rooms for education. This is Nature's great sfchool, and It is liu&aidous to repudiate it in any system of education. For a very long period this was practically the only educational system in the world, and it turned out some of the greatest minds the world has ever seen. General News Notes Jack Sharked, Boston pug, and Max Schmeling, heavyweight fighter of Germany, have been signed for a return fight to be staged in New York on September 25.

The British house of commons has rejected the proposal to tunnel under the English channel to the coast of France, a project long discussed, by a vote of 170 to 172 For more than a month conferees of the house and senate have been unable to agree on the amount necessary to appropriate for the running of the municipal government of Washington. The senate says $12,000,000 :s needed, while the house says $9,000,000 is enough. The Italian government has hit back on the rates imposed by the recently adopted Smoot-Reed tariff laws of the United States. Without warning Mussolini's government increased the impqrt duties on Fonl cars from 6,000 lines to 16,000 Km. A lire is equal to about 5 cents in United States money.
