Famou* Clipper S ip, Built in 1E69, I*
Be.ny E.okcn Up at Ta-
coma, Wash.
An old clipper ship, the Glory of
the Seas, winch 35 years ago set a
record for “windjammers” between
San Francisco and Australia, is be-
ing broken up at Tacoma, YN ash.,
following tiie discovery that barna-
cles have eaten into her hull beyond
repair.
The stout old ship was built at
the famous Donald McKay yards in
Boston, Mass., in 1809, and since
then lias sailed on all the seven seas
and called at most of the imjiortaut
ports around the globe.
Some years ago the Glory of the
Seas was purchased by a Tacoma fish
company and was put in the service
between Puget sound and Alaska.
Each spring she would spread her
canvas and sail away to the north,
carrying supplies and employees for
the Alaska canneries operated by the
company and in the fall would re-
turn with the season’s catch.
The old boat was built of oak and
other tough woods, and some of these
are still in good condition. She is
being broken up lor what metal she
holds.

Three Innovations Established That
May Be Said to Be Worthy
of Some Praise.
Three of the innovations estab-
lished in Russia by the soviet govern
ment are to be commended, what-
ever may l>e thought of the rest ol
them. These are: (1) The reforn
of the Russian calendar; (2) the re
form of Russian spelling by drop-
ping silent letters, and (3) the adop-
tion of the metric system.
The old weights and measures are
being ehanged to the metric in the
machine shops, railroads and drug
stores. This can be easily done,
since all industrial and commercial
operations are uuder government
management.
The people will not find the
change difficult, because the old unit
of weight, the pood, is almost exactly
!6 kilograms and the Verst is only
one-fifteenth more than a kilometer.
A Russian peasant is never so exact
as that in bis estimate of distances
The action of soviet Russia leaves
only the United States and the Brit-
ish empire outside the international
metric system.
WITH RESERVATIONS
Mrs. J. R. Makoske arrived
Saturday night to join her hus-
band, our new druggist, and
make her home with him in May.
Since their return from Los An-
geles she has been visiting with
relatives at Holdensville, Okla.
Mrs. Makoske expresses herself
as being most favorably impress-
ed with May and our people and
hopes to be here for many years
to come.
MAKING HIM JEALOUS
One of the boys I had been seeing
quite regularly wn« coming over tha’
night, and 1 got a silly notion in my
head that I wanted to make him jeal-
ous. Just as he rang the bell I sal
down near 'h - m-tm an !. hold
ing the hook duv n with one hand
carried on a conv. rsation with a sup-
posed to be old-time swettheart who
was just begging to come over and
see me. Everything was running
splendidly when iight-in the muldh
of a sentence when I was saying tha;
“it's all over n w." the telephon
bell rang.—Chicago Tribune.
NATURE’S PROTECTION
Growing in the spray of the groa*
1 Victoria falls in Smith Africa, a new
gladiolus has be j. h.-co'erid anu
named the “Maid o' the Mist.” Four
bulbs of this plant, sent to England,
have been indue J to sprout an-'
bloom by vim - -f constant qua;
ing in a hothouse. There the inte
esting discovery was made that tin
petals of the flower are so arranged
! that they form a pent-house to pro
tect the stamens and pistils from tin
unceasing downpour to which they
would otherwise be subjected in tin
native haunts of the olanf.
ITis Mother—Bobbie, you have
been very naughty after promising
to obey me strictly.
Bobbie—That’s nothin’. You one*
promised to obey dad.
SLAVE OF BEAUTY
The Woman went to call on a
friend who lives in a small apart-
ment. As the door was opened she
was greeted by the shrill notes of a
particularly ear-splitting canary
bird, and in the small drawing room
she found a large and beautifully
<’arved cage of red Chinese lacquer
in which a little yellow bird was do-
ing his utmost to make up for the
fact that Caruso was dead.
“But I thought you detested ca-
naries?” said the Woman to her
friend.
“1 do,” said her friend. “I loathe
them, hut last week at an auction
I picked up that heavenly cage at the
greatest bargain, and it looked so
pointless to have it empty that there
was nothing for me to do but buy a
bird.”—Chicago Journal.
RAINBOW STONES
South Australia seeks a market
j for its white opals—very beautiful
j gem stones of a kind peculiar to that
part of the world. The chief com-
mercial obstacle lies in the super-
stition that opals are unlucky and
bring misfortune to the owner. This
silly notion does not worry Ameri-
cans much and in the United State*
pals arc much admired and com-
monly worn. In Europe, however,
it has a surprising gTip. According-
Iv. the producers are going to put
•'■eir white opals on the market un-
■ another name. They will b«
culled “iridots,” after the Greek
word for rainbow.—Pittsburgh Dis-
patch.
TWO G003 ANECDOTES
Anecdotes of the proper type are
rare. In a recent letter to a college
instructor in Portland Prof. Fred-
erick J. Turner of Harvard cuts
loose with a couple that are above
the ordinary. One concerns the
Maine guide who was given a watch
by a friend and admirer. At the end
of the season the guide wrote:
“That was the best watch I ever
had. Gained enough time during the
season to pay all iny expenses.”
Another is about a Mr. Gilkin,
who was indorsed for governor of
Colorado in an off year. In the let-
ter of recommendation Gilkin’s
friend said:
“Mr. Gilkin is by far the best man
for the position. He was the dis-
coverer of Pike’s peak.”
Systematic Investigation of Their
Habits and Speed Is to Be
Made by Airmen.
— i
New light is to be thrown on a
fascinating but little-known sub-
ect-— the height birds attain in
flight, and more especially the alti-
tudes at which they fly migrating.
Pilots of commercial airplanes are
to be asked to observe bird-flight ou
a precise and organized scale.
Air express pilots say they rarely
see a bird above a height of about
3.000 feet, but recently when at
12.000 feet one pilot saw a couple
of birds several thousand feet higher
than he was. He believes they were
eagles. I
As to the height attained by birds
when on migration, a theory hiu-
been held that the birds reaches
sometimes an elevation of
feet, but more recent opinion su;
gests an average of about 5,000 feet]
Pilots will also report on the speed
of birds. Swifts, the fastest birds,'|
have already I oen known to overtake
an airplane in flight Their spe-"' has
been calculated to exceed 100 miles
an hour sometinv s There is one
curious instance, already recorded,
of a lammergeler, a bird of prey,
which was pursued deliberately by an
airplane pilot, and which, in “nose-
diving’’ to escape, attained a pace of
110 miles un hour. — Brooklyn
HARD TO EXPLAIN RAIN
The weather men have been try-
ing to answer the question, “How
does it rain?” It is a hard question,
says Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the
United States weather bureau.
“Lots of people are content to sav
that the droplets at the top of thi
cloud pick up others on their way
down and come out at the bottom
full-sized raindrops,” he said. “That
sounds nice, but those who give thi
explanation seem to overlook the fad
that clouds can float in the sky foi
days without giving a drop of rain.’
He has calculated how lug a droi
would result from such a fall, and
it turns out that a cloud particle
falling from top to bottom of a denst
cloud a mile thick and picking uy
every other droplet in its way would
come out only one-sixteenth of an
inch in diameter, much smaller than
an ordinary raindrop.—Kansas City
Star.
CAN IT BE DONE?
CAVE MAN STUFF
The other day a small boy came
into a branch library like a bfeeze.
He threw two hooks on the desk,
and said in a high, shrill voice:
“My mother wants two western
etvrivi; she’* tirod of Idyl."
GOOD WORK RECOGNIZED
Mrs. Margaret Brown, a woman
of seventy, has been awarded a gold
brooch and a letter of thanks by the
British National Lifeboat institu-
tion. For nearly 50 years Mrs.
Brown has been in active service at
a life-saving station on the Northum-
berland coast, and, in spite of her
age, she still lends a ready and help-
ful baud at every launch of tha Life-
“Short skirts, chiffon stockings,
rouge and powder must go,” the re-
former declaimed. “We have tried
to abolish them bv frowning upon
them, but the stubborness of the
younger generation has defeated us.
There is but thing left to do. We
must ignore them. They are worn
to attract attention. Once let the
young girl in her teens realize that
she can not draw notice to herself
by Buch eccentric and indecent garb
and she will immediately embrace a
more normal style of dress. The
remedy is simple. Ignore, ignore,
ignore.”
The susceptible young man in the
front row shifted uneasily.
“That’s fine,” he said without en-
thusiasm, “but can it be done?"—
Exchange.

SONG THAT TINY GIRL LOVED
Naturally, as She Understood It, It
Made a Strong Impression
Upon Her
She bad lost her government po-
sition and, as keepmg company with
a wolf lias absolutely no attraction
for an aspiring young woman, she
snatched at the opportunity to teach
a country school in the green lulls of
Virginia, not so very far away.
She discovered that her duties in-
cluded sweeping the school, keeping
up the fire and so on, but as every
good teacher is a Tom Sawyer at
heart, the boys and girls were soon
outracing each ot for the grasp-
ing of such honors- and she in turn
became so interested in her work and
in the little people that she thought
up many pleasures for them and
taught them u;a:i\ s.tnqie songs. In
no time they were on piping terms
with patriot n an:h,-:ns and old-
fashioned hymns, which they dearly
loved, especially Onward, Chris-
tian Soldiers.” because of its swing
and infection li n W one tiny
girl confided In h 1 with -liv ardor:
“Teacher, I love all tie songs, but
what 1 love I nf any is “Onward,
Kissing S.ii her.” — Washington
Star.
SAFEGUARDING A REP
Today the Woman went in for
one of those put and take lunches,
so popular for the hurried business
woman. At the table sat two sis-
l
ters. When they were ready for des-
sert, the older took a baked apple,
the younger one of those fancy pes-
Iries ordinarily called a cream roll,
but which they called “lady luck."
She put her fork in one end and the
cream came,popping out the other.
This amused them both, and the
older suggested she turn it around
and all would be right. She did,
but the same thing happened; so
after battling with, it for a few sec-
onds, in despair, she took it up in her
hand and started *o eat. The sis-
ter, with a look of horror, stopped
her, exclaiming: “Suppose some of
my swell friends should see you!"
After protests, the younger put the
“luck” hack on the plate and finish-
ed it a* best she could.—Chicago
Journal.
MIGHT MISPLACE EYEBROW
“It takes a man of courage to
face the accusing eyes of his wife
without flinching.” x
“That’s why 1 usually pick a
quarrel with Mrs. Gadspur when
she's putting on her make-up,” said
Mr. Gadspur.
“Eli ?”
“At a time like that a woman
isn’t going in >>r
