Teaching By Example
By BERTHA HAYWARD HIGGINS
A few days apo when i va.; ini
tho hairdresser's shop n young wo
man came In with a very attract!v>
little girl whom every hotly admired |
The mother, with apparently m.
thought for the big eyes fixed upon:
her or the shell-like ears taking hi
all sho said, related the following in
eidents: “We moved front where we
wore living when my little girl lie
pan to go to'school and it we;, too]
far for her to go-alone to the school!
where she had attend! d. Jlut they!
wouldn't give nie a transfer w 1 told'
iny husband I was going to s ml her
to the other sehobl anyway and tell
them she had never-barm tv schoolj
before. And ol t atrse I warned her!
to tell the teachers that she had;
never been to school.”
"That night alt ;• I had gone on! j
shij went to my sister end said.j
'T.tnte. I always said tho truth be-1
fore/ ’’’
I thought,
The story J
1 left the *
“Oh! foolish mother,
“how blind you are."
rtayed with me after
shop and It rankled.
Then there came to me a picture I
of the day many years ago when I
my brother, a young country physi -j
i ian, had driven fourteen miles In:
a severe snow storm with his Utile]
three year old son wrapped up like
an Eskimo cuddled in his arms, be
cause 1il the morning when there
was no indication of a storm, Ik* had
givi i Ills promise to take the little
fellow with him when lie made this
call. And now despite the storm
and the difficulty of driving in a
covered sleigh with the child to look
after, ho dared not do otherwise
j. d ftp* child should in turn be
Icii to In-oak a promise or toll an
nntt nth because of the father’s ex
ample. “Small use," said he, “for
us to urge upon our children stand
ards which we ourselves do not main
tain in their presence.”
These little ones of ours are soj
susceptible to influence, so infila
tlve and so prone tfi think "the king
(father or mother) can do no evil"
that we cannot he too careful.
it has been my custom always to
read or recite some worth while
thought at the breakfast table that
the family may take It with them to
the day's work. Recently I have
given over this duty to my eleven
year-old son and 1 wish that every
mother and father would take with
them and pass on to their children
tile little message lie brought to us
yesterday:
“With every day a new day
And every moment new
We'll speak the truth, think the
truth.
And to the truth be true.”
SUNT ZEPPELINS MAT SOON FLY
BETWEEN SPAIN AND ARGENTINA
LONDON, June 16.—Detail* of the
first Atlantic airship service between
Spain and Argentina have just been
made public by the London ■ Daily
Chronicle, which says that it may
soon be possible to bridge the 15,000
miles between the two continents in
three and a half days. The service
will operate between Seville and Bue
nos Aires, and Zeppelin aircraft will
be used.
There will be terminal airdromes,
mooring piasts, repair sheds, and
hydrogen factories at Seville and at
lluenos Aires. In addition, enter
gency landing grounds will be laid
out at the Canary Islands and at
Cordoba, in the Argentine.
On the American side of the At
lantic the hangars will be made on a
revolving principle, hoenuBo of tin
variability of the wind. Four air
ships are being built to inaugurate
the scheme, and it is anticipated
that service will begin next summer.
It also Is probable that arrangements
will be made t > Uni; up Seville di
rect with London by an airplane ser
vice.
Tlio airship, fitted with nine en
gines, and developing 400 horse-power
will carry 40 pa, eng'- s and 11 tour
of mails and mercliniidish. There
will bo two sirmiUatiPouM flights a
week in each direction, and the time
taken to cross Hie Atlantic will be
three days and 10 hours. Passengers
will have all the comforts of an At
lantic liner, without the disadvantage
of sea sickness.
The ships will have u speed of 82
miles an hour. Zeppelin pilots who
have had not less than 1,000 success
fill trips to their credit will l- en
gaged to operate the craft. Each air
ship will carry six pilots and a com
wander.
Powerful wireless sets will be fit
ted into each ship, thus is will ho
possible to keep in touch with -15
weather stations on the coasts of
Spain, Africa. America, the Canary
Islands, Cape Verde and F'ernattdo
Noromba, ns well us with ships at
sea.

The work began in 1887, and

DECEPTIVE MARK FELT
IN GERMAN DIVIDENDS; j
MAKES PROFITS SMALL
RERUN, Juno 16.—Dividens to
the shareholders In German stock
companies have appeared so high,
when quoted on a paper-mark basis,
that many firms have taken pains to
explain the deceptiveness caused by
the mark's depreciation. Thus, at
the time the great InternatOinal el
ectrical works of Sieunens & Hals-kc
recently declared an 80 per cent
dividend its directoriate noted this
meant retally only 16 gold pfennings
on a share, or less than four Am
erican cents.
Upon receiving this dividend, j
said the company's annual report,
the holder of 50 shares gets only;
the value today of a telapone rc-j
coiver and its attached cord, lie
fore the war, a 12 per cent, dividend
on that many shares would have
netted enough money to buy a Whole
telephone switchboard with all iits
lines, capable of serving half a hun
dred subscribers.
Citing another comparison, Siem
ens & Halske state the total divi
dend this year would serve to pur
chase but one direct-current motor
of 400 horsopower, while in 1913
the dividend on only half of its
capital stock was sufficient for the
erection of an entire power plant,
grounds, buildings, boilers, steam
turbines, dynamos, and all with a
capacity of pO.OOO horsepower.

SHIPS THAT PASS IN
NIGHT HAVE BELL ON
SHORE;NEW INVENTION
VIENNA, June* TO. Austrian inven
tors have perfected an instrument i
which automatically and accurately j
records the passage of any vessel |
over a given body of water, night!
or day, to observers who may be
located on shore. As an aid in
catching smugglers, and a help to
coast defense in war time, the in
vention is regarded as distinctly val
uable.
The device consists of a small
searchlight sending a ray no bigger
than a pencil across the space to lie
controlled, and n receiving apparatus
at’ the other end containig a light
sensitive selenium cell. Whenever
a passing vessel interrupts the rays
of the light, the selenium cell closes
a relay which starts a bell alarm,
or operates a recording -device.
The instrument in question was
tested recently between two points |
three ami a hall' miles apart, In tilt
tutskirls of Vienna and the passage
jf every object, as well as every
terson was duly recorded. These
ads were made in broad daylight
vlth a fid-candle power Incandescent
amp as the sonree of light.
