“Grandpa” Strohmeier is now wear-
No wonder that Walter Scott, who,
having shown the world in the Min
strelsy and the Lay that he was ed-
itor and poet. and being himself a |
novel reader, should be utterly dissat-
jsfied with the quality of the existing
supply. The French Revolution, dis-
tinguished by its leveling principle and
action, had ended in substituting a
feudal empire for an effete monarchy ;
and even when Napoleon was redivid-
ing Europe into kingdoms and princi-
palities for his family and his follow-
ers, there had sprung up—or rather
revived—a deep devotion to the chiv-
alry which had done so much in the |
past, and whose traditions had in- |
grafted grace into history and breathed
reality into song.
To this feeling, this principle, Scott
had ministered in his poems; and now,
acknowledged head of the romantic
school, he resolved to extend its lim-
its, beyond the ballad to the narrative
poem and use prose as the more suit-
able medium. He strove to delineate
the past as it seemed in the eyes of
men who were dubious of the present
and afraid of the future—noble, state-
ly, glittering and gay, with the pulse of |
life ever beating to heroic measures.
His view of feudalism in “The Talis-
man,” “Ivanhoe” and “The Fair Maid |
of Perth” was not the caricature a |
few preceding authors had drawn, but |
a portrait—faithful, if idealized.— :

DEAL JUSTLY WITH CHILDREN
Almost Every Country Now Has
Courts to Handie Cases of Juve-
nile Delinquency.
The example set by the United
States in establishing juvenile courts
has been followed by all the princi-
pal countries of Europe. Spain, the
last to fall in line, has adopted the
modern viewpoint that delinquent chil-
éren should not be treated as crimi-
nals, but rather as victims of adverse
conditions and surroundings. In work-
ing out the details of the law, Spanish
authorities have followed America’s
experience, according to information
received by the children’s bureau of
the United States department of
labor. ;
Under the Spanish law the children’s
judge is not necessarily a member of
the bench. He is assisted by two ad-
visory members appointed by the com-
mission for the protection of children.
Privacy is guarded very closely in the
Spanish juvenile courts; no one e€x-
cept probation officers is allowed in
the court unless by special permission,
and the press is forbidden to publish
any information about cases of juvenile
delinquents. ‘
Since Chicago established the first
juvenile court in 1899, similar courts
have been established in England,
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Russia,
Austria and Hungary.

Do Well Without Meat.
Less than a third of the world’s
population gets what we should cali
three good meals a day, yet the work-
ing capabilities of the, from our point
of view, underfed continents of Asia
and Africa will compare very well with
either Europe or America. The aver-
age annual meat consumption of the
world is 39 pounds a head, yet both the
Australian and the American eat nearer
180 pounds per head, and the English-
man is not far behind with about 120
pounds.

Criticizes Use of Oil.
Dr. White of the United States ge-
ological survey has declared it “no
less than an economic crime to use oil
under boilers as fuel,” because the sup-
ply of oil was so rapidly declining in
the United States and elsewhere and
because it would soon be “a very seri-
ous problem as to getting the neces-
sary amount of lubricants—which is
really the most important part of the
rock oil business.”

Symbolism of Animals.
In the symbolism of animals, the ant
typifies frugality and provision ; the
bear, ill temper and uncouthness; the
bull straightforwardness; the bull dog,
pertinacity; the butterfly, sportiveness
and living in pleasure; the dove inno-
cence and harmlessness; the fox, cun-
ning, artifice; the goose. conceit and
folly; the grasshopper, old age; the
mule, obstinacy; the owl, wisdom ; the
peacock, pride; the swan, grace.

1 One great service rendered by H
fll Swift & Company to the consumer fl
Hl is in taking some of the surplus of [It
i nature's plenty and storing it against i
the season of non-production. This 4
is a service based upon sound A
common sense and meets a definite
economic need.
This enables you to obtain all the
year round some foods which other-
wise would be so abundant in certain
months that the entire supply could
not be used, and so scarce at other
times that prices would be prohibitive.
Swift & Company has equipped its
plants and branch houses with refrig-
erating plants, and has a sufficient
number of refrigerator cars to carry a
supply of meat foods to its customers.
Space in public cold storage ware-
houses also is used by us to carry
perishables until they are needed.

We store only enough meat,
butter, poultry, eggs, and cheese to
supply our customers during the
period of scarcity and not to specu-
late on rising prices. Our storage
profits during the last eight years
have averaged about one cent a
dozen on eggs, and less than a cent
a pound on butter and poultry.
Storage of food is a world necessity
and we regard our part in this as an
important factor in our service in
supplying the nation with wholesome
food.
