A Good Hobby.
The pay may be good In dollar* and
cents.
And surely there’s nothing of fame,
fct those who have tried It find rich
recompense
In working with boys just the
same.
For what could be finer when years
shall have fled,
Than knowing that you had a part
In guiding a boy into paths that he
led
As a man, with God In his heart.
It keeps a man thinking In ways that
are right.
To share in the spirit of youth.
It gives to him something that helps
in the fight,
It helps him to stand for the Truth.
You come t«> believe that the things
that you tell,
The code of clean living you
preach—
Are something for you to live tip
to, as well.
As those whom you'ro trying to
teach.
There’s no finer hobby than this one,
I claim—
Than working and playing wi*h
Boys;
’Twill bring to you little of honor or
fame,
But lasting and real are. Its joys,
And what could be finer when years
have fled,
Than knowing that you had a part

they led,
As men, With God in their heart.

Ancient Lacked Dictionary.
Ernest Weekley, in tho Atlantic
Monthly.
As to the ubiquity of ths diction
ary there can be no question. With
in the memory of the oldest now
alive there have been few houses—at
least of those possessing any books
at all—whose library has not includ
ed an out-of-date Barclay, an ob
solete abridgment of Johnson, an
early Webster, or some equally use
ful misleader of ihe mind that thirsts
for information.
It was not always thus, for ••the
dictionary,” as we TMderstun 1 the
word, is a comparatively modern
element in life. Dictionaflum is not
a classical Latin word, any more
than lexicon is classical Greek. To
the medieval scholar a dictionary
was a collection of "dictions” or
phrases, put together for ihe use of
pupils studying Latin. We find dic
tionarius first used in this sense In
the thirteenth century by an Eng
lishman, John Garland, and diction
arlum in the fourteenth; but the first
work published in England under the
English title “Dictionary” was the
famous Latin-English dictionary of
Sir Thomas Elyot. which appeared in
1538, the year before Robert Estien
ne, of tho greatest of all dictionary
making dynasties, published his Dic
tionnaire Francois-Latln. The word
lexicon—the neuter of the Greek's ad
jective lexicos, “relating to wo! ds”—
dates in its accepted current sense
from the Renaissance only.
The earliest lexicographical efforts
were probably made by Roman stu
dents of the Greek language and cul
ture. We are told that Cato learned
Greek at SO, a task which ho would
hardly have tackled without realiz
ing the importance of tabulating his
newly acquired vocabulary.
Teachers naturally compiled lists
of words and phrases for the use of
their pupils, and such vocabularies
would be copied and attain some cir
culation; but it is obvious that what
we call a dictionary was made pos
sible only by the invention of print
ing. _ __
Chicago In Palestine.
From the Reading Tribune.
A Chicago in Palestine is enough !
of a novelty to attract more than
passing notice. A sort of pocket
edition of the newest and most mod
ern of great cities is to be built by
one of the oldest of peoples. The
Zionists plan to construct a city in
the Holy Land for European Jews
who want to colonize there, or who
find it difficult to enter the United
States on account of the new im
migration law. Present plans call
for the expenditure of $1,000,000 and
the completion of the city in five
years.
It may he objected by American
empire-builders that “not much of a
city can be built for a million dol- {
lars." Yet some of the most famous
city-states of ancient days cost less
than that. A more plausible objec
tion is that "you can’t build a city
in five years.” Cities, indeed, take
time to grow. The intangible values,
which may be greatest of all, espec
ially require time to develop and
mature. Much is to be said, though,
for 1he modern method of planning
the material structure of a city com
plete to begin with, making adequate
allowance for all the municipal needs
of a community of any given popula
tion, instead of letting it grow hap
hazard.
Given the material “plant," the
rest will follow, if the city is one
which, in nature and location, sup
plies a natural need. Time will tell
that. The oriental Chicago may
never rival the occidental original;
but it should do the Orient good to
have a modest imitation of the big;
burly, hustling America original
Eat Sweets; Lose Weigh*.
From Popular Science Month’/.
Stout persons, anxious to “reduce”
usually make a special point of
avoiding sweets. This is a mistake,
for sweets offer a valuable weapon
to those who would lose weight. Too
much food is the usual cause of cor
pulence, and a slim diet offers the
obvious remedy. A scant meal,
though, does not seem so scant if
brought to an end with dessert, and
the practice of following lean meals
with sweets is recommended as an
aid to perseverance with a “reducing”
diet.

Divorce Action Brings Out Deep
Irritation of Back-Seat Driving
From the San Francisco Bulletin
The worm has turned. Some worm, it is true, is always turn
ing, but the one to which we refer is the one that sits in the driv
er’s seat and turns the steering wheel. A man in the East has
sued for divorce because his wife is a back-seat driver. His com
plaint complains that she tells him when to speed up, when to
.slow down, when to turn corners, when and where to stop—in
*hort, when and where to head in. He says it humiliates and
mortifies him, especially when he has guests. And there is no
squelching her. The only escape lies in the severance of those
marital ties which at the time they were tied were supposed to
hold for this life and the next, to hold, indeed, for all time. Those
eternal bonds he prays may now be eternally disrupted.
It is not easy to say whether or not his prayer should be
granted. The best of women do it. It is either a gift or a nerv
ous affliction; we are not sure which. It was not so general in
the age of horses, because, as some sage has observed, “It was
the horse that had the sense.” Almost any woman would trust a
horse. Now they have a painful—and justifiable—impression
that a great, many men who are not competent to shovel coal into
a furnace without a severe backache are trying to operate these
private locomotives, with no rails to guide them. They feci the
need of some sort of traveling train dispatcher, and who could do
it better? Moreover, in many cases, they are the responsible
custodians of the family funds, and they see damage and disaster
around every bend.
Perhaps in the words of the old song, they “should be scold
ed, but not turned adrift.” Yet back seat driving is a weariness
to the flesh and a mortification to the spirit of man. That is to
say, it hurts his vanity, and interferes with his steering. And
wives should be careful about that.
It may be doubted that divorce is the right remedy. It would
choke the court calendars. Separation, without privilege of r^.
marriage, WNuld seem better, because, for example, this man evi
dently is a marrying man, having done it once, and if he is set at
liberty he will probably do it again, and the second wife will be a
back-seat driver, too. It might be better just to let him keep on
with the one he has. He is used to her. We believe in the eman
cipation of man, but it ought to come about gradually.

Insipid Sentimentality.
From Police Magazine.
We are a sentimental people, and
too often the clamor of our heart
throbs muffles the saner thought
heats of our brain. Sentiment is a
beautiful, sometimes a sacred, at
tribute of character; but mere senti
mentality is the symbol of moral and
intellectual weakness. More especial
ly is this true when evidenced in
the masculine mind.
Perhaps the most common mani
festation of insipid sentimentality
is found in the expression, verbal or
printed, of a certain type of person
when some notorious lawbreaker
appears on the scene and meets his
just deserts. It would seem, at times,
that the greater the offense com
mitted against society the'greater the
outcry of maudjin sentimentalists.
The murderer has many times been
regarded by this hysterical type
more as a hero than as a civic men
ace. There are those today who
would abolish our prisons, or, fall
ing that, would convert them into
establishments of ease or even joy
ous entertainment. To segregate the
evil-doers caught in the commission
of their evils is abhorrent to these ■
silly, if sometimes well lntentionea
folk. It is strange how some men
and women will give themselves
over to sheer stupidity where the
emotions alone are involved.
There is neither sense nor logic
in pampering criminals. The indi
vidual who willfully breaks the code
established for the common good
must pay the price provided for his
transgression as formulated by the
wise men who conceived that code.
The perpetrator of a brutal and re
volting crime should certainly not be
the recipient of love letters and bon
bons. The emotional outcry of per
sons and the press against the proper
punishment of those lawfully impris
oned is an absurdity, appalling in
its implication of cerebral blindness.
The individual responsibility of the
lawbreaker is seldom taken into con
sideration by these tearful objectors
to Justice. The morally deficient, the
’'congenitally preverse, the tough and
1 accustomed criminal can never be,
in an;’ reasonable degree, true ob
jects for vindication and the aim of
silly men and women to ease their lot
In prison would be laughable were
not the efforts rrtade In this direction
so earnest and widespread. Prisons
are built primarily for punishment,
and crime is something meriting
punishment with every degree of
hardship laid down by the law.
As our population grows it is in
evitable that transgressions of the
law by Individuals should increase.

French Premier’s Clothes
Ridiculed in Germany
Berlin.—The Germans are picking
on the French again.
This time it’s a fashion journal, too,
“The Tailor,” published In Hannover.
And the object of the attack is Her
riot, premier of France.
“The Tailor” accuses the French
premier of wearing badly tailored,
illfitting clothes—so bad, in fact, that
his clothes could be almost mistaken
for “ready-made.”
As pleasing contrast, “The Tailor’’
presents President Ebert, of the Ger
man republic, who Is always dressed
“properly and tastely, as benefits the
loader of a cultured people.”
The particular defects of Herriot’s
sartorial appearance, "The Tailor”
notes as follows:
The coat fits badly, Is wrongly bal
anced, and Is apparently worked
without horse-hair lining.
The vest has too many folds and
wrinkles.
The trousers are cut wrong, and
—horrors!—show no signs of press
ing.
"Herriot does little honor to the
land of elegance,” the journal re
marks, but excuses it with the fact
that he is a burdened politician who
neglects his appearance over his
ideals.

New Feat of Surgery
London.—An astonishing surgical
operation has been successfully per
formed at West London hospital,
Hammersmith, on a 15-year-old boy
named Edgar Heath, of Hunworth,

Heath, while working on the porch
of a house, fell on to an ornamental
iron fence. One of the spear-heads
penetrated his left side over the
heart, pushing the heart over to the
right-hand side, but not puncturing
it. Part of the boy's shirt was push
ed around a lung, and the spear-heau
then broke off, leaving nine inches
of iron embedded in his body, with
only the butt protruding.
The surgeon, after administering
an anaesthetic, succeeded in extract

headed by an old peasant from Raya

Above the tomb, on a marble slab, are
Inscribed the words:
“Lenin Is dead, hut his works live.”
On reading this inscription the old
peasant, In the fullness of his heart,
blurted out: “Ekh, Hitch, Hitch! It

thy works were dead!” The uncon

Why Physicians Favour Lubrication
Medical science has found at last in
lubrication a means of overcoming con
stipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol,
penetrates and softens the hard food waste
and thus hastens its passage through and
out of the body. Thus, Nujol brings inter
nal cleanliness.
Nujol is used in leading hospitals and
is prescribed by physicians throughout the
world. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative
and cannot gripe. Like pure water, it is
harmless.
Take Nujol regularly and adopt this
habit of internal cleanliness. For sale by
