But when he heard that the chaplain at Tristan da Cunha was sick and must be relieved he volun- teered at once for the uninviting task. After serving during the war in the British Red Cross, Mr. Partridge en- tered the Anglican ministry and soon responded to the call for foreign service in the Society for the Propa- gation of the Gospel. He went out to South Africa and in the Johannesburg son.’ “One day a native woman came Lash for Bootlegger Representative James C.

By so doing he does not rush into things for which he has no fitness; he does not attempt that which is beyond his powers of ac- complishment. I know, for in- stance, that | am not musical. I am neither a performer nor have I' musical appreciation suf- ficient intelligently to criticize a per- formance to which 1 listen.

Ball has little or no sense of humor, and he has the judgment to realize his tack. He can never see the point of a joke even when it is explained to him in detail. If he laughs when some one tells a funny story it is to be polite, and not to put himself out- side the circle, rather than because he is amused by the recital or under- stands what it is all about. But Ball neyer cracks a joke. He never launches out, as many people dc into a narra- tive intended to amuse and then forget the point and ends his tale without a «<limax. He knows his limitations and he wisely never goes beyond them. “Wisely,” 1 said, but [ am not always sure that it is wise too acutely to realize one’s weaknesses. Too keen a realization takes the energy out of one, robs him of initiative anu makes one afraid at times to try anything. We all thought Clancy less than ordinary when he was in college. He was handicapped in two ways. He did not have any money and so was forced to earn his living by acting as a sort of chore boy in one of the local stores at twenty cents an hour—a job which brought him only a meager sub- sistence—and in addition to this handi- cap he had a dull brain. Even his best friends admitted that Clancy was very ordinary. But somehow he himself never realized this fact. lie stumbled along in his stupid way, insisting on being a leader. He had neither tact nor social finesse, but whenever any- thing politicai or social was under way Clancy was always on: hand pushing himself to the front and insisting in a crude illiterate way on being heard. No one thought he would make a success of his profession. He was too crude, too stupid, too iacking in the qualities which enable one to get on with men, but Clancy never recognized these limitations of his, and he has got on. [It has never cccurred to him that he is commonplace. He has put a good estimate upon his own abilities and with that in mind has forged ahead. in some way lie has apparently fooled people and they have taken him at his own estimate. He is really quite the litermry critic; his friends dre among the best people in the city in which he lives. lle has risen above his limitations. (L, 1329 Western Newspaper Union.)

Z|OH, YES! | MADE TWO GRAND SLAMS Ray Finds Radium Pasadena, Calif.--When one of Dr. Robert A. Millikan’s electroscopes, de- veloped in connection with his cosmic ray experiments, was enlisted as a detective, a problem as difficult as “looking for a needle in a haystack” was solved within two hours. Through the use of the delicate in- strument $4,000 worth of radium which was accidentally thrown out with some ashes at the Pasadena hospital was recovered. John Ransom, California Institute of Technology technician, was sent to the hospital with one of the cosmic ray machines and, after barrel after barrel of ashes had been brought in front of the electroscope the instru ment indicated that radium was pres: ent in the last barrel. While hospital officials anxiously watched the proceedings in the base ment of the institution the barrel con- taining the capsule filled with fifty milligrams of the most precious sub- stance in the world was emptied into small boxes.

The electroscope, it was stated, picks up the radium emanations, being so sensitive that it can record them from a radiolite watch. Two quartz fibers that are suspended almost to- gether are charged with electricity, which repels them. When the fibers are exposed to radium, which absorbs electricity from the air, they are brought together, the speed with which they approach each other in- dicating the amount of radium in the vicinity, No matter how minute the radium particles, the instrument fis said to be capable of detecting them at a distance of 100 feet. The radium which was recovered is the property «of Dr. Paul Ferrier, and is one of the two largest supplies of the precious substance in this city. . Bees Buzz Busily for 800,000 in U. S. Madison, Wis.—More than 800,000 people in the United States are keeping bees and the value of the honey crop runs from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 annually, figures compiled by H. F. Wilson of the agricultural staff of the University of Wis- consin reveal. Wilson says beekeeping has splendid prospects for the fu- ture and great possibilities in almost every state, However, he insists, the industry lacks lead- ership and finance, Is Broth of a Boy Atlanta, Ga.—How would you like to be thirteen again—but seven feet two inches tall? That is the age and height ot Henry Mullins ¢* Atlanta. He hopes to be a football star at Georgia Tech some day. Doctors say the trouble—if it can be called that—is caused by overac- tivity of the youth's pituitary gland, a ductless organ below the brain. Such overactivity causes the rise or most giants. Henry Mullins is in the seventh grade in school. His report card is usually worth showing to his father United States destroyers proceeding through the Miraflores locks ot the Panama canal on their way from the Pacific ocean to meet the destroyers of the Atlantic fleet in mock war battles. and mother—A’s and B's. On top of that he is a good golf player. He goes around ‘in the 80s and some of his drives are 250 yards. Henry doesn’t look toward golf for success, however. “All the club han- dles are too short, anyway. I want to be a boxer and a football player, but IT can’t find anybody to box with me,” he said. Henry's shoes are size 14. The rest of his attire is in proportion. He plays end on the high school football team, center on the basket ball team, He drops some baskets in with- out poking his hand over his head. He played first base in baseball and was utility man on the mound. Henry is a wow in sports! C. E. Mullins, a six footer, brother of the young giant, claims his big brother eats only about as much as the average thirteen-year-old boy eats, “only it goes farther.” If Henry keeps on growing—and he doesn't want to—he will, by averages with normally sized humans—leap into something like ten feet of humanity— a world’s record. However, doctors are going to give some treatments to that little pituitary gland. TRF : DIPPING INTO i SCIENCE Why Hot Air Rises Heat does not affect the pow- : er of gravitation, for any given weight will weigh just the same regardless of the heat applied. However, heat generally causes a thing to swell and it occupies more space. It is therefore lighter in proportion to the space it occupies. This relation of volume and weight causes warm air or hot water to rise. (©. 1929.
