I
CARRY IfJSIGNIA OF HONOR ' A CENTURY OF ANTHRACITE
War Department Has Uiclaed that
Planes Shall Retain Distinguishing
Marks Earned In War.
Buddy buck on the farm Is going to
Eot nn nwful uliock one of these tlnys
when ho looks skywnrd during n lull
In the plowing. A piano Ih going to
nppoar overhand and he will Instantly
recognize the InHlgnln painted on the
fuselage of the stellar noro squadron
that worked for his division at the
tlmo they wore hoeing their way
through the Argonne, In the Home
Sector, Frederick .7. Parle says: "The
decision of the war department to re
tain the distinguishing Insignia will In
any event make (ho Identification of
the pianos easy for civilians. More
and more the army planes old nn they
are are undertaking long flights. They
appear unexpectedly over 'cities far
away from their stations and many n
farmer tlieso days sees a gargantuan
propelled hectic settle down In his
hnck pasture. When an army plane
comes flying by or lands near us, wo
will soon look for the Insignia, Just
as everybody once looked for the state
automobile license tag when the tour
ist's dust covered nuto passed. When
the pedestrian sees n plane decorated
with the painting of a kicking mule, n
silhouetted, scythe-swinging skeleton
or a witch a-straddlo a broomstick, lie
may wonder what battle record the In
slgnln stands for. Ho may gticsa
rightly that the tiny winged elbphnnt
on a plane Is a sarcastic commentary
on the plnno's speed, but ho probably
would llko to know whether this plane
Is from n burden-bearer squadron that
hauled tons of bombs over tho lines
to drop them on German railway Junctions."
MADE FEAST FOR LOBSTERS
Crustaceans No Doubt Highly Appre
ciated Mackerel That Seemed to
Be Provided for Them.
"Chorlle" Is well known In his
homo town of Rockland. While cover
ing his route along tho south shor,
he got a trade on some nice lobsters
and purchnsed six dandles. A fat
mackerel also caught his fancy while
speculating in sea food and he fook
along the handsome specimen. Charles
put tho mackerel In with his lobsters
and, cranking up his truck, headed for
home.
"I've got something here, all right,"
mU Charles to his better half as ho
carried tho big bundlo Into the, house.
Ho dumped n crawling mass of crus
taceans on tho table but nowhere could
ho Una his mackerel, uncic 10 me

appeared. When tho lobsters were
boiled and served It wns noticed there
wob a decided flavor of mackerel to
tliem. The diners' suspicions were
aroused and, seeking authority,
Charles was told that ho had guessed
correctly the lobsters had eaten his
mackerel. Tho hungry shellfish, be
ing brought up on salted herring In
tbo traps, were not slow to realize
that nn eplcnreun dish was being serv
ed them on tho long rido homo. They
made the most of It, too. Brockton

First Ton of Hard Coal Reached tha
City of Philadelphia Just One
Hundred Years Ago.
An even hundred years have elapsed
since one William Wurts, a Philadel
phia merchant, drove his tenm of
mules with tho first ton of anthracite
tli rough the spring freshets and bog
land to the banks of tho Delaware
river and floated the new fuel down
the river to Philadelphia on pine
log raft.
But he experienced no llltlo dim
cult y In that first anthracite year of
18-'0 In overcoming tho popular objec
tion thnt the coal was "extremely slow
of lighting." line log rafts floated
only !!05 tons of anthracite that year.
But It fetched a price of $12 a ton
nnd could be delivered frolght-on-rnft
Philadelphia at ?.J a fact that was
freely advertised to attract additional
capital, for, of course, tlioro was no
profiteering In those days,
Spring freshets and bog land and
slow Inllninmablllty no longer worry
operators. Silk shirts for miners arc
a bigger nuisance. But production In
a hundred years has Jumped to 80,
JOO.OOO tons, and could this year sur
pass tho 100 inllllon-ton mark, which
wns almost reached In 1017.

Men of Science Forced to Admit Exact
Results From Their Calculations
Are Not Possible.
Tho celebrated observatory at Green
wich, the place from which we reckon
longitude, was founded by Charles II
In 1(175, mnlnly for the purpose of In
vcstlg .tlng.the movements of the moon
In (lie Interests of navigation. Although
In the Intervening two and a half cen
turies astronomers have worked at the
problem, the moon has not yet become
entirely amenable to their nmthcinnt-
lcs. In a recent report of the obser
vatory at Greenwich attention Is In
vited to the Increasing deviation be
tween the calculated position of the
moon In the sky and Its real position
shown by thy Greenwich observations.
The deviation ban lately been growing
In a serious manner. The error last
year was more than twelve times ns
large as the error twenty years ng,
and tho average annual Increase dur
ing the two decades has amounted to
half a second of nrc In longitude. The
reason that astronomers have failed
In getting exact results from calcula
tions lmsutl on the dynamical laws of
gravitation Is possibly the existence
of some attractive force that they have
not yet discovered, although tho result
may also be affected by the true shape
of tho earth, which still awaits ac
curate determination.

Your Schools must have the co-operation of the home if you are to get the best re-
suits from the schools. Philander Priestly Claxton, United States Commissioner
of education says:
Out of the 180,000 hours between birth and the age of legal maturity, the child spends an average of only 7,000
hours in school. The rest arc passed in the home or in home environment.
You can see for yourself how trifling must be the influence of the school on your child's life.
Are you going to leave his "education" up to the school any longer?
The home was the first and still is the most important institution for the education of children. All other
agencies of education, however important, however well organized, are only secondary and supplementary to the
home, and all of them dotTfeir work best when they remember this and cooperate with the home-
However efficient our schools may be, our children never can be fully and rightly educated until the homes do
their part intelligently and faithfully.
Among the means of education in these years of childh ood are also to be counted song and story and play. Every
mother should know how and what to sing to children, what stories to tell them; how to make the most of the child's
desire for play.
THE BEST MATERIAL FOR DEVELOPING YOUR CHILD'S MIND IS FOUND IN
The Book of Knowledge
THE CHILDREN'S ENCYCLOPEDIA
10,000 EDUCATIONAL PICTURES IN FIVE LANGUAGES 350 COLORED PLATES

CURIOSITY is the beginning of all knowledge. Do you know any subject about which your child has not asked you
a dozen questions? Let him ask as many as he likes, and be sure to answer them correctly. That is the parent's
most important and most easily neglected duty. If you discourage your child's curiosity you will injure his mind, and
tho bright boy or girl becomes stupid or indifferent. Through curiosity Columbus discovered America. THE BOOK
OF KNOWLEDGE is the simplest and most natural method of helping the child to educate himself. IT ANSWERS
EVERY QUESTION A CHILD CAN ASK IN PLAIN AND SIMPLE LANGUAGE. So captivating is this great
original work to tho mind or a child that he absorbs with little effort the profound truths and great facts of the world
of knowledge, while reading its delightful pages and lookin g at the thousands of striking educational pictures.
Tho BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE has been adopted by the Nebraska State Reading Circle Board and recommended
for supplimentary reading for every school in this state, and has the endorsement of many leading educators thru
out the United States. Ovor 600,000 copies are in use in h omes and schools
