REAT kings of old have wrapped
I f them round in state.
And, clothed In splendor, yielded
up their breath.
Dreaming a monarch's fame should
outlast Death.
And gold and jewels stay the hand ot
Fate.
The treasures of the earth have decked
their tombs;
^ ith amber, topaz, diamonds nnd Jade
Have skillful craftsmen their dark
house inlaid,
As though their Jeweled gleam might
light Death's glooms.
let have kings slept the centuries
away.
Their names forgotten and their
glories dim;
And no man's lips have named the
name of him
Who walked as walks a god. a little
day.
But thou, a Country's honor and Its
pride.
How void of splendor is thy sleeping
place!
For no man’s hand has skill enough
to trace
The story of thy worth, thy grave be-
side.
Tet here shall gather through all pass-
ing days.
So long as men shall reverence the
true.
Children and children's children, to
renew
Thy Country’s homage in their heart-
felt praise.
Sleep thou serenely on the earth's soft
breast:
Better than radiant gems or dazzling
gold
Our love and reverence about thee
fold;
In nobler state what king would ask to
rest?

r
are three main groups of prospective buyers of
Chevrolet automobiles and commercial cars.
First, are all who know from comparisons or through the
experiences of friends that Chevrolet provides the utmost
dollar value in modern, economical transportation of
people or merchandise.
Second, the large group of people with modest incomes
who have the false impression that so good a car as
Chevrolet is beyond their means.
They do not realize that due to engineering excellence and
full modern equipment, Chevrolet operating and mainte-
nance costs average so low that during the life of the car.it
delivers modem, comfortable, fast transportation at the
lowest cost per mile, including the purchase price.
Third, the smaller but very important group of car owners
of ample means, only a small percentage of whom as yet
realize that Chevrolet as an extra car virtually costs them
nothing, due to the reduction in their transportation
expenses effected by it.
We respectfully suggest consideration, investigation and
comparison of Chevrolet with any other car at any price.

The SIMPLICITY
of the
WASHINGTONS
a LTHOUGH the Inauguration cere-
** monies and festivities were well
over when Mrs. Washington reached
New York, and the house furnished,
there remained for her and her hus-
band the difficult task of arranging the
social functions of the executive man-
sion. While those about them were
discussing the question of the title to
be used in addressing the new presi-
dent, whether it should be His High-
ness, IBs Serene Highness, His High-
mightlness, or simply Ills Excellency,
und whether the reception of the presi-
dent and his wife should be surround-
ed by the ceremony of a court or be
characterized by the simplicity suited
to a republic, the Washingtons quietly
und unostentatiously mapped out their
social duties according to their own
Ideas of propriety.
Washington, to whom nothing con-
nected with his office seemed small or
unimportant, and who realized that
this was naturally a period for. the
establishment of precedents, gave
much time and thought to the proper
adjustment of social as well as of po-
litical etiquette; in all of which ar-
rangements he was assisted by his
former aide-de-camp. Colonel Hum-
phreys, who had recently been secre-
tary of legation in Paris. Mrs. Wash-
ington warmly seconded her husband's
efforts to combine republican simplicity
with the form and ceremony befitting
the dinners, levees, nnd receptions of
the chief executive. Thus, although
the president simply bowed to each
guest as be was introduced to him at
his Tuesday afternoon levees, making
It very evident that the more familiar
handshake was to be omitted, at his
wife's Friday evening receptions he
chose to he considered simply as “a
private gentleman.”
Some Nerve
A very young doctor, opening a
brand new office, waited all day with-
out a visitor until at last u breathless
man came running up the drive.
“Sit down," said the young doctor,
soothingly. “What can I do for you?"
"I must get on the telephone—at
once,” gasped the visitor. “My wife’s

Steer Requires More Grain
In a series or studies made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, It has been ascertained that It
takes about six pounds of grain and
six pounds of hay to produce one
pound of beef. About live nnd a half
pounds of corn will produce a pound
of live pork.

Largest Swimming Pool
San Francisco has u new swimming
pool which is said to he the largest
In the world. It Is 1,000 feet long
and loo feet wide, except for u center

feet and the cost of the pool was

Three Souls to Each Man
Among the natives of South Africa
there Is a general belief In the split
soul. One tribe believes In three souls
—one In the head, another in the stom-
ach, and u third In the big toe.
