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

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"The Southern pine is being withdrawn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.

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.

-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. Lady Petre declares
that it should be as natural to

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

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
