THINGS ' K By LEONARD A. BARRETT It Is true that the world is full of beautiful things, and we should all be as happy as kings. But so many of ' wtu oe surprised io'' Discover new things, common little things, hitherto unknown to you. Every day endeavor to find in your friendships hidden sources of beauty and strength. You will thus And that quality of mind and heart you need to enrich your own life. We will find as Emerson found, that not only in atars and flowers, but In the mud and scum of things there are lessons to be learned. the Antonio Stradivari beautiful things are commonplace that we fail to see them. Only the discerning eye can see sermons in stones and good in everything. Tennyson had a flower garden at the rear of his home. It was doubtless in the crack in the wall which encircled this garden that the poet saw little flower growing. The little flower that inspired these lines: "llower in the crannied wall, I plack you out of the cranniaa, I holdX you here, root and all . . . U could undantand what you are X should know what Cod and man to." How true it is. We have eyes to see, but see not; ears to hear, but hear not. To be able to see deeply enough to interpret the beautiful and the mysterious Is a boon devoutly to be wished. It is not impossible to cultivate the capacity to see power and beauty in common things. Flaubert, the French novelist, who was also a master of naturalism, said: "Look at a tree until it appears to you just as it appears to everyone else; then look at it until you see what no man has ever seen before." It is this ability to see beyond ordinary sight, this capacity plus which sees something more that explains the depths and heights of character and the strength of personality. "Genius is nothing else than the power of seeing wonders in common things." Most of the inventions which increase the comfort of living are the results of someone seeing beyond the common known into the great unknown, and discovering new forces. All our. possessions of luxury such as the radio, automog devices bile, electric owe their origin to the power of seeing resources hidden in common things. Lincoln said: "God must have loved the common people because he made so many of them." It is to the experience of our common human lot that we must come for an adequate appreciation of life values. It is by keeping our eara close to the heart of the great human struggle that we come to understand life and the value of patience, fortitude, faith and courage. We become very humble when we realize how few cardinal graces of character we possess in comparison to the graces of others who have always been alert to the need of human perfection. The revolutions of history tell the story of the common human lot as a mighty balance of power. Every day look at a flower until you see something you have never seen before. It may help you to be less selfish. Your own desire to possess the flower may be lost in the joy you find in your neighbor's appreciation of it. Every day seek to express in simple ways your lifg, work,Bnd nlsv. Y ed time-savin- grati-'tujje.f- or, Born in Cremona t Died at 98 Antonio Stradivari, the supreme was born in Cremona and passed his entire life there, rarely leaving its gates. A tall, spare figure of a man, he spent all his days at a bench littered with the tools of his trade, writes Ruth Wood Thompson in the New York Times. In the year 1737 he came to the end of his labors. He was then ninety-eigyears old. His body was laid in a sepulcher he had ordered to be built in the crypt of a church near his house. The plate on the tomb was removed when the church fell in ruins, and visitors can see it in the Cremona town hall. ' Another commemorative tablet on the place where he lived and wrought his wonders, declares Stradivari "brought the violin to its highest perfection and left Cremona an imperishable name as master of his violin-make- r, ht craft." This glowing declaration has never been disputed. Stradivari reached the heights as a designer of bow instruments. His patterns are the finest and his workmanship unrivaled. Stradivari, at different times, utilized both native and foreign woods, paying attention always to the beauty of the grain as well as the quality. His crowning skill lay in the mixing of a filler and a varnish that kept the wood resonant and flexible and protected it from deterioration. St. Swithin, Old Churchman St. Swithin was one of our old English churchmen, being bishop of Winchester well over a thousand years ago, says London Answers Magazine. History states that "he was of a very meek and humble disposition, and requested that, on his death, he should be buried outside the cathedral so that the rain, dripping from the eaves, would fall on This request his last resting-placwas fulfilled. A hundred years later someone perceived the idea that so notable a person should be within the building, and it was decided to him in a more worthy grave. On the day appointed July 15 a great storm arose and continued for forty days, delaying the operations. From this has grown our legend that if it rains on St. Swithin's day (July 19) there will be rain on the forty days following. e. re-int- er Peril in Training Circus Beasts Training the "cat" animals in circus is a dangerous proposition. While the elephant is a gentle beast, striving to please, the big cats never get to like the idea of captivity. The lion, though called the "king of beasts," is much easier to train than the tiger. He is lazier and less inclined to be quarrelsome. A tiger can almost always beat him in a fight. Worst of all the "cats" is the black leopard. Whenever you see one of these going through tricks in the circus, you may be sure that its master is an exceedingly clever animal trainer. ITALY AND GERMANY to Fourteen Hours. Washington, D. C Rome was not built in a day, but eventually it will be "made" in a day by automobile from Germany. Plans have subeen approved for. an per highway binding Berlin to Rome, to be completed by 1941. wherever possible, free of. grade crossings and speed limits, the road will reduce motoring time between the two capitals to a predicted 14 hours. Of the total length, 47 per cent will be in Italy. From there it will cross Austria and proceed north through Germany. "This highway of modern tempo across three .countries coincides in places with an ancient Roman via," says the National Georgrahic society. "Both then and now the route was chosen to stimulate circulation between the sunny Mediterranean civilization of Italy and the northern-German plain, dominated facing by Berlin, which slopes toward the North sea and the Baltic. "The highway crosses Austria's western end, so that throughout the whole journey international motorists will drive to the right. It is in eastern Austria that 'Keep to the left' is the rule of the road. Road Runs Doe North. "The route is a slash almost due north across central Europe. Berlin lacks only two degrees of latitude of being mapped straight above Rome. "The capitals at opposite ends of the road have many opposites in their respective histories. Berlin was a provincial city of somewhat over 300,000 people a century ago; Rome was a world power before the beginning of the Christian era. Now Rome, with a million inhabitants, spreads its domes and florid towers over so much more than seven hills that it is one of the favorite candidates for the title of the world's most extensive city. Berlin ranks sixth in area, but has four times the population of its southern sister city. Industries do not figure in the activities of Rome; Germany's capital on the other hand, is also her industrial center. "The road from Rome rolls north over the broad plain of the Cam- pana, and climbs out of the Tiber valley over Tuscan hills. In fact, the highway goes over mountains, between mountains, or at least through landscape with blue hints of hills around the rim, practically the first half of its way. Exceptions are the broad rolling Campana, which surrounds Rome, and the ample plain of the Po. Between Florence and Bologna, the road launches right over the Apen-nin- e range, the craggy shinbone which runs the length of the Italian boot. On the southern side lies the peaceful town of Pistoia, whose medieval name and ironworking fame survive in the modern pistol. "On the other side of the Apennines lies Bologna, whose university once drew famous men to its colonnaded streets.

"Bologna's brick wall and its famous pair of leaning towers disappear across the rich plain of the Pa valley as Verona is approached, There, according to Shakespeare, was staged one of the world's great est romances, the tragic love ol Romeo and Juliet. "Passing the east side of Lake Garda, with its orange and olive grove border, the route to the north leaves the Lombardy plain and climbs Alpward through the Tren-tindistrict, where Roman control 2,000 years ago has more recently been disputed by German, Austrian, and French domination.

C The half-ruinbuilding where Mexican independence was cradled over a century ago is being restored. It is the parish church of Chilpancingo, capital of the statf of Guerrero, 95 Washington, D. ed miles inland from southern Mexico's Pacific coast. "Hitherto motorists have been Inclined to zip through the town of Chilpancingo without a second glance," says the National Geographic society. ' It lies of the way westward on the 'roller coaster1 highway which swoops over six ridges and deep valleys between Mexico, D. F., and Acapulco, the nation's Pacific 'Atlantic City.' Most travelers do not stop, for speeding through will permit them to accomplish the trip in one long day. Moreover, Chilpancingo lacks the lure of intriguing quaintness, for it appears quite modern. Two earthquakes within the present century made necessary rebuilding operations which produced a town with a rather modern air. "A historic landmark, however, will hereafter bait Chilpancingo's hook for Dassihe travelers.

Recalled. , Two Heroes "At the invitation of Morelos a mule-drivturned priest, then rebel provinces which Seneral Mexican off SpanLh rule sent elected delegates to Chilpancingo's church, and for unliberated provinces Morelos appointed other representatives. Their first congress convened on September 14, 1813. Almost two months later, on November 6, their declaration of independence was ready. New laws abolished slavery, cste distinctions, and the tribute demanded from Indians as subject tribes. "Chilpancingo marked the turning point in the success of Morelos' share in the revolution. From there he marched away into a series of defeats. Finally, while holding back a royalist army at a narrow defile in the mountains to allow his men to escape, he was captured and shot. ' "His revolutionary mantle fell figuratively on the shoulders of Vicente Guerrero, who used his knowledge of the mountains around Chilpancingo for surprise attacks with his rebel followers, and equally as surprising escapes. Traveling secret trails, he found ways of furthering and financing the revolution cause. Once he took the bronze church bells of a mountain village to be melted, into cannon, paying for them only with a note of thanks. Admiring Indian followers would not exchange the note for fuller payment. His birthplace at Tixtla, nearby, gives Chilpancingo a further claim to the attention of Mexican When Millard Filmore installed a bathtub in the White House in 1851 it was a national scandal, observes a writer in the Washington Star. Americans everywhere protested that the President was a sissy. He had introduced from Europe an abominable luxury." If he felt he must take baths an practice, anyway the White House bathtub was good enough for any man. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson hadn't had bathtubs. This is one of the striking examples of the conservatism of the public mind and its resistance to technological improvements which makes the future of any new idea' unpredictable, cited by the National Resources committee in a report on technological trends. Less than ten years before, according to Bernhard J. Stern of the National Resources committee, the Philadelphia Common council had come within two votes of passing an ordinance against bathing of any sort between November 1 and March 15. ' The allegedly growing practice was sapping the vitality of the citizenry. It was denounced as a menace to public health and decency. At about the same time the degrading habit was getting a foothold in Virginia. Several Old Dominion towns imposed a. tax of $30 on every bathtub in an effort to discourage the vile things. Red-blood- ed "mon-archi- al Source of Great Lakes Water The supply of water in the Great Lakes is maintained by drainage from the area comprising the lake basin, about 300,000 square miles, of which 60 per cent is in this country and 40 per cent in Canada. The amount of water fed into the lakes by the hundreds of small rivers, streams and springs varies with the season; in April and May it has been estimated to average more than 50,000 cubic feet per second, and in November less than 20,000 cubic feet per second. The level of the lakes is determined by the balance between inflow and outflow; artificial outflow and evaporation from the surface of nearly 100,000 square miles. In the natural state each lake was an individual reservoir, maintaining its own level by natural dams at the outlets, but with blasting and digging to assist transportation, these have been modified and the artificial outlets such as the drainage canal, Welland canal. New York state barge canal, etc., also affect lake levels. eye. FOCUS Image fairly well defined, 2nd 3rd FUSION er - patriots. There . should be Ion.

Y., named for the famous gorge formed by the AuSable river as it rashes through on its way to Lake Champlain, says a writer in the New York two-nfi- le World-Telegra- One story goes that, at the narrowest point in the chasm, where the river becomes an angry torrent, a bridge once spanned the forty feet from towering cliff to cliff. This crossing was allowed to decay, however, even though the rude and simple framework was the only span for miles along the river. At the time of the tale it had just offered its last bit of resistance to the elements and had tumbled headlong into the churning waters, only a single beam remaining. One night following, a Max Morgan, a clergyman just returned from abroad, where he had spent several years, set out to ride on horseback to the home of old friends on the opposite side of the flume. As he proceeded toward the chasm darkness fell and a mist settled close to the ground. Knowing nothing of the ruin of the bridge, he confidently urged his horse to go on, let loose the reins, and abandoned himself to reverie. Horse and rider approached the river (Morgan could hear it dashing below) and what he thought was the bridge. Suddenly the animal stopped, quivering ard panting, as if sensing impending disaster. Aroused now from his lethargy but still unaware of the danger Morgan encouraged the horse to go on. Finally the steed responded, picked his way across the precariously lodged single bar to the other side, and then, believe it or not, trotted to his destination, with his rider - Young Women "Invading" Navajo Indian Territory Patriots Honored.

Parish Planning to Grab Easter Lily Bulb Market New Orleans, La. Plaquemines parish boosters are planning to take the Easter lily bulb market from Japan and Bermuda. Lilies grown in the parish are held to be superior to those grown elsewhere, and with further development growers hope to take the annual 2,50C,000 bulb market from Japan, where a majority of the lilies blooming in this country on Easter are raised. "Most of the lily bulbs used in this country come from Japan." Dr. C. T. Dowell, director of the agricultural experiment station at Louisiana State university, told growers. "We import 2,500,000 bulbs annually, most of which are inferior to those ra'sed in Plaquemines parish. If the industry is developed further here we could take the market from Japan." Plaquemines parish can grow enough lilies to supply the entire American market, according to Peter A. Chopin, president of the New Orleans Retail Florists' association. . |
