H. Hawley, in Charge of Work, Explains Task. Washington.—Mapmakers have been busy in the United States for 140 years under direct supervision of the govern ment, but their Job Is far from fin ished. Commander J. H. Hawley, acting head of the Commerce department's coast geodetic survey, explains the task by picking up a pencil and draw ing lines on his desk to resemble a checkerboard. From cross-hatch to cross-hatch Commander Hawley’s pencil jumped. "You see,” he said, “the entire Job Is by no m£ans complete because we have only begun to round out our ‘basic control project’ That Is, to di-, vide the country into 100-mile squares of latitude and longitude, with exact elevations above sea-level at estab lished points to allow topographical mappers to have a basis upon which to work. "Many times we find places which •re not actually where they think they are. There was, for instance, an Is land In the Philippines which was 14 miles away from where the charts listed It. Offshore Progress Slow. "Why, In plenty of our offshore sur veys w’e are just replacing maps used by the old Spaniards.” Commander Hawley stopped to point over a bas-relief map of a bunch of is lands and ocean to a hooknosed bust that stood upon a'bookciise. The bust looked like ap old Itoman senator. “That man," he said, “is old Ferdi nand Hassler. He was the first man to run this bureau and he was started off by the personal appointment of the President in 1816. The President called him into his office and .asked him what salary he wanted. Hassler said be wanted $.'>,000. “He got the $T>,000 arid the Job. The bureau has been surveying ever since.” It’s quite a Job. There are 100,000 miles of coastline to be marked and 32,- 000 miles of this belong to continental TTnlted States. M° st of the rest is Alaska's. Describes Suryeyor’s Work. This is the way they go about It. Surveyors pick a point on the coast and fix its' latitude and longitude. Then they figure out Its relationship to the average height of the tide. That establishes level above the sea. This fixes a definite point from which to work inland for knowledge of both vertical and horizontal positions. Boy Bound Out for 11 Years in Old Document Binghamton, N. Y.—Feudal systems of a century ago were not limited to the Euronean nations, but existed In New York state, it was disclosed by Arthur H. Brown, Whitney Point printer. Brown brought to the light of mod ern times a yellow document, 110 years old, used to bind out as an apprentice a ten-year-old boy from a New York city almshouse. “This Indenture," the paper begins In flowery language, “wltnesseth that Christopher Goodman, aged ten, hath put himself out with consent of the almshouse and Bridewall and doth voluntarily and of his own free 'will apd accord put himself to apprentice to Joseph Miller of Bedford, West chester county, a farmer." The youngster failed to get much of a bargain in the light of modern ad vantages, the papoV shows. ■*. . . to learn the art, trade, and mystery of a farmer for 11 years," the indenture continues, “to keep the secrets, to serve . . . nor waste nor unlawfully lend, nor contract matri mony nor gambling if it may damage the master, nor haunt almshouses and taverns." A CHALLENGING QUESTION By LEONARD A; BARRETT V ». n Shakespeare makes Hamlet say In his soliloquy, “What dreams may come when we have shuf fled off this mor tal coil?” Long be fore Shakespeare wrote, the same question was asked by Job—“If a man die, shall he live again?". This ques tion has challenged the thought of the world's best phllos- opliers. Fiske ar gued, “It would be absurd for the great God to make a man, as a child builds a playhouse, just for the pleasure of tumbling It down.” Cicero,' the Ro man orator, tells us there must be an after life or whence the desire for It? The Indians buried In the grave of their dead the gun and the dog so that the departed one might be completely happy in the eternal hunting grounds. The Egyptians built the pyramids to endure, as they thought, forever. “If a man die. shall he live again?” The answer is not found in science for the reason that science deals only with material substance and cosmic forces. The answer is not supplied by philosophy, for no amount of argu- ( ^h r Jiou ^ Bvj Ltjdta Le Baron Walker seRofS Horton Smith of Onk Park.

Synthetic Air Is Made by Chemists Kansas City, Mo.—Synthetic air which sustains life even more effec tively than the air we breathe has been nutnufnetured in the labora tory. it was revealed at the meet ing of the American Chemical so ciety. Tlds latest research, achieved after 14 years of experimentation, was reported by a Kansas scien tist, J. Willard Mershoy of Me- Prterson college.

A more satisfactory an swer is found when we Understand the nature of personality. What is the cause of death? Is it ndt the disintegration of tissue, the breakdown of the physical organism? But does this process have any effect upon the personality or entity of be ing? We answer. “No.” The person ality is Indestructible. No death can destroy love, goodness, justice or any of the qualities which are the permanent moral and spiritual forces in life itself. The organ Is not music, nor Is mar ble, art. They are the Instruments through which art speaks. In like man ner, the human body, the component parts of which are worth only about HS cents.

The real self can never die: for as the wise man said long ago. “Love is stronger than death.’’ I press God's lamp Close to my breast; its splendor, soon or tate.

I F YOU expect the housework to be well done either by yourself, the maid or the woman who comes In by the day, It is up to you as the home maker to see that proper tools are sup plied. This sounds logical but, unfor tunately it takes more than logic to make matters right when the mop wears out, and the day when it muat be used comes, and there is no new mop. Keeping up with household exegen- cies requires an at tention to detail that is amazing. Forget fu 1 n ess is us ually more at fault than is the lack of funds for replace ments, when work Is hampered. When the cost exceed* the funds on hand, 'k II YJmmj no blame can be at- | U t a c h e d to what ' ’ wo,, ld otherwise be negligence. When a temporary adjust ment has to be made until the purse permits a purchase, It can practically always be made. But such adjustments, when unnecessary, betok en a thoughtless homemaker, and in dicate a certain incompetency. Efficiency. The efficient homemaker looks ahead. She knows her household equipments and Is ready with fresh supplies before there is a-hampering lack. There should be'shelves In a closet for surplus supplies such as soap, cleansing agents, washing soda, silver polish, etc., just as there are shelves for emergency foods. When anything gets low, a new lot should he ordered before there Is danger of get ting out. It costs no more to manage this way, and is often an economy, since, taking advantage of sales is pos sible, Instead of finding immediate pur chase necessary. But apart from the things that must he hough*, there are often little things which are -not ready for use. Chief among these are clean dusters and cleaning cloths. Old cloth docs per fectly well for the latter, yet it is often one of ihe hardest things for a housemaid to get. It is sometimes her own fault, however, as these cleaning cloths must he washed clean, and he dried after u»ing in order for them to be in readiness" for the next time Maids In general dislike to wash clean ing cloths, just as they find it easy to overlook laundering of hot dish hold ers which should be kept fresh and clean as tea towels. About Doors. The function of doors is to open and close entrances and exits, thereby per mitting or excluding circulation of air currents, sights, and sounds. These are their architectural requirements, and they are made to do such work with dignity and ornament. Most doors swing on hinges, and open in one di rectinn. .There was a law enforced In some localities that outside doors of public buildings must swing nut. This was a “safety first’’ measure in case of tire or any panic which would make easy exit imperative. In dwellings, front doors open in. with a welcoming gesture. These doors are Inside as well as outside features of a house, permitting entrance ways and exits. They open In, because this adds to the convenience. It Is awk ward to have a door open out especial ly in a storm and the necessity of let ting out a crowd in a hurry is negligi ble. Wide doors separating adjoining rooms or halls and rooms which It Is desirable to throw together when doors are open, may swing on hinges or work on rollers. In the first Instance the doors are always visible whether open or shut In the second they are only visible when shut or partly shut. They slide in between walls occupying a space made for them. Glass Doors. The fashion for having glass doors has revived the hinged double doors to great advantage in some instances, while In others, nothing but the vogue is their recommendation. In very large houses where a room, especially a re ception parlor, Is seldom used, the glass-paned doors can shut off the room and thus help conserve heat with out closing the view. Though doors are shut there Is a feeling of space and an intimate view of the unused room which makes It seem to be part of the adjoining room in a very pleasing way. When full space is lacking for wide hinged doors to be thrown open, double hinging is an. Interesting way to over come the difficulty. Kach door can be in two hinged sections. This arrange ment allows the middle sections to fold hack against those hinged to the door frame, so that the doors when open are but half their full width. Thus the doors take but little space, and remain decorative features of the PAINFUL CONDITION RELIEVED BY CARDU1 **I was very weak and nervow when a young girl at home,” writes Mrs. J. H.
