EVENTS THAT MADE HISTORY Anniversaries of Independence Declar ation and Landing of the Pilgrims Are Both Near. Our country approaches two notable dates in its history. Philadelphians have already begur to talk about a great international celebration for 192J to commemorate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of independence. But next year comes a still more historic birthday. It will be 300 years next November since the pilgrims landed in America, writes "Girard" in the Philadelphia Press. People refer constantly to them as the "Pilgrim Fathers," but as Poland Usher, in his book points out, "Fathers" is scarcely a justified title. Of the 102 persons who came over *? ''? ? r~i ? n *> hfiH Ill Illfci AliiyilUWCl, UIHJ1 auib reached forty years of age. But two of them were fifty. Thirty-nine were children and there were 19 grownup women, one of whom was unmarried. As there were 25 bachelors on board the Mayflower, that lone maiden probably was never a wallflower. The three most famous characters, Bradford, Allen and Miles Standish, were all young fellows, aged respectively thirty-one, twenty-one and fhir ty-six. One of the most fatal epidemics on record smote that little colony and in four months 44 of the 102 pilgrims were dead. It was a disease akin to tuberculosis. TIMBER SUPPLY RUNNING LOW Government Planning Measures to Protect Supply on Hand and Encourage Future Growth. A larger program of public acquisition of forests by the federal government, states and municipalities, and protection and perpetuation of forest growths on all privately owned lands which may not be used better for agriculture, is recommended in the annual report of the forester of the department of agriculture. This policy is made necessary, the t report said, by the diminishing tim ber supply. The rate of depletion or the forests is more than twice what is being produced by growth in a form 'serviceable for purposes other than firewood. "Already the supplies of all the great Eastern centers of production are approaching exhaustion, with the exception of the South," the report said, "and even there most of the mills have not over ten to fifteen years' supply of virgin timber. "The Southern pine is being withdrawn from many points as a competitive factor and its place taken by Western timbers. This inevitably results in added freight charges, which the consumer must pay." The report suggested that the federal government work primarily through state agencies. ?J y * New Process for Drying Beets. . By the recently devised new process in sugar making, it is claimed that nearly 70 per cent of the water of beet roots can be extracted on the spot where they are grown. Thus dried, the material keeps indefinitely. . + tr^n<;.nnr^p^ ?0 p]aCes I j XL LAU KJ V/ v * w * A v ^ -where fuel is plentiful, even over long distances; and it can be accumulated in stocks sufficient to keep factories running continuously, instead of requiring to be used up in a short sea' son. The same process is suggested for treating fruits and vegetables designed for industrial-alcohol distilleries. * _ Shoe Mending at .Home. The calling-up of the village bootmaker or "cobbler" has seriously affected domestic convenience in many rural districts. His importance is suddenly recognized, and hi? loss has, in several isolated midland hamlets, given a remarkable sfimuliis to shoe-mending at home. Technical classes in soling, heeling and patching have been arranged, and country women are rapidly acquiring the art of cobbling.

HER LiFE FOR HER PUPPIES Airedale Nev'ir Hesitated When Cailed Upon to Make the Supreme Sacrifice to Duty. - Again a mother lias given her life for her young. ? This time the setting is the San I Francisco waterfront, down where - whistles scream, hoists squeal and rattle, engines chug and there is a mechanical ensemble of industrial nois?e the long day through. The principals 5 are dogs?a wiry-haired Airedale mother and her four puppies. A scow was home to the canine family. One day a swell overturned the ' basket in which the pups lay, and ovI erboard they went. There was no human aid near. But the mother leaped to the rescue of her drowning ' offspring. One by one she brought the i little pups to safety. But before she 1 could reach the last one it drowned. Men found her on deck, still holding > fkf fV(Ck nnnnv. find with tuV/ UVUJ VA UVUV4 i %?? i the three others scrambling and whin1 tng around her. The mother was too , exhausted to move. They sent for a ' physician, but when he arrived the rescued pups were orphans. To the burden of her own six pups, , an Irish setter who lives aboard the same scow, has added the care o> three foster ehildern, the orphans 'of the Airedale mother. ' DIDN'T QUITE GET THE IDEA I 1 Japanese Geisha Girl Meant Well, But American Traveling Man Remained Hungry. Baron Rempei Kondo, president of the Japan Mail Steamship company, said at a dinner that he gave recently in New York: "The Japanese are a very clean people. I know an American traveler who will testify to this. "The traveler, half famished, made hi? way one day into a teahouse in a remote Japanese village. The geisha girl ushered him into a spotless, airy room, and brought him a cup of unsweetened tea. As he could speak no Japanese, he tried to explain by signs , that he wanted a full meal, but the girl, though she smiled politely, failed to understand. "So the traveler thought he would resort to another means. He took out his notebook and pencil, drew a fish I and an ess:, and handed the drawing to the geisha. This time she laughed delightedly, clapping her hands and ran from the room. "The traveler was pleased. He waited contentedly for his meal. Five or ten minutes passed. Then the door opened, and two attendants staggered in with a portable bath, brimful of hot water, and a cake of soap." Startled Even New York. Mrs. Carl Lamb, of Philadelphia, wife of Lieutenant Carl Lamb, U. S. N., recently startled New York by walking down Fifth avenue with a rag doll about twelve inches tall tied to her arm by a silken cord of about the same length?not a pretty doll at all, "just cute," Mrs. Lamb said herself. "Of course, he's got a name," she said. "He's Patsy Dooley. His brother, Thomas Squeelix, is in Philadelphia with my sister. I have no intention of starting a Fifth avenue fad. I made Patsy to take to China and keep me company when I go there within a few months." Strike Oil in Morocco. Important petroleum developments are expected from the French districts of Morocco where one small well, located at Dgecel, is producing three tons of oil a day. Twelve more wells are being drilled. Government committees supervising supplies of gasoline for France are considering leasing the petroleum springs at Pechelbrown, Alsace, a short distance northw-est of Strasbourg. Exemption of petroleum from import duty is contemplated. and many important industries are transforming their furnaces so that oil may be burned instead of coal. Chinese Masons Celebrated. A sea lion, a fusillade of crackers, : a banquet, and the raising of the Chinese flag, indicated to the Victorian 1 town of Echuca that a branch of the Chinese Masonic society had been formed. Chinese from all | parts of Victoria attended the ceremony and the mayor and councillors of Echuca ' were guests. The Chinese master of ceremonies* was interviewed by returned soldiers who objected to the > flying of the Chinese flag alone. Aus1 tralian and British flags were at once 1 hoisted to the top of the flagpole. > Soldiers Left Books Behind. Mystery surrounds the "dumps" of books which are said to be lying in v?rir?iis cnnms in France, awaiting dis posal. , At one camp 400,000 volumes are said to have accumulated, and there are reported to be still larger collec* tions at other camps. Inquiries in official quarters and J among the organizations which sent ? out books to the troops during the war ~ have failed to trace the owners of * I these derelict volumes. a s Develop French Water Power. A bill for the canalization of the 1 ithone and the employment of water K j power was introduced in the French I chamber of deputies on August 9. The j cost of the scheme is estimated at 2,500,000,000 francs ($482,500,000) and ? the total power to be obtained will not be less than the equivalent ob d taineci from 5,000,000 toii3 of coal, or n j one-fifth of the coal production oi France for 1918. or taxpayers. | A meeting of the taxpayers of Hamberg school district Xo. 14 is hereby called to be held in the city hall in the town of Bamberg, S.
