History falls to record how far lie ran or how fast. When he stopped and \recovered his senses he told others of this unexpect- ed and exciting experience. A party nccompanied him back to the spot and Wind Cave, one of the woiiSers of our West, a few miles north of the town of Hot .Springs in the southwestern corner of South Dakota, was dis- covered. Although not all of thts cave has been as yet explored, that portion which has been trod by man comprises a larger area than thai oeupied by any other known cave in America. The ex- plored portion comprises about one hundred miles of passageways and sev- eral hundred rooms or chambers. No outlet has been discovered; therefore, the end is as much a mystery as ever. Aside from an occasional. trickle down some wall, there is an unusual absence of water in this cave. The temperature is a pleasant medium as caves go, neither too warm nor too cold. A peculiar feature which scien- tists seem unable to* solve to their satisfaction is that of the shifting of the movements of air through this cave. At times the trend of the air at the entrance is outward and then again it is inward. While it is anticipated that ulti- mately many different routes through this underground cavern will be avail- able to visitors, three only have been opened up to this time. The longest .of these routes includes some seventy- five rooms and about six hours are re- quired to make the circuit. The -names bequeathed to the vari- ous chambers or rooms are characteris- tic of the predominating feature of each. There's the Post Office, where most visitors endeavor to find wall space for their cards; the Bride's Chamber, the Garden of Eden, Dante's Inferno, the Opera House, the Cross Roads, the Fair Grounds and so on. These rooms differ widely both as.to size and formation. The Fair Grounds is reputed to be the world's largest underground cavern, being upwards of an acre in extent. These rooms are arranged In parallel tiers and are also stacked in layers. This latter arrangement on so vast a scale as here in evidence is decidedly unusual in cave architecture. The long and short of it is- that this cave takes -on n resemblance to an eight-story un- derground office building. This cave was created a national park In 1903 and is open to tourists throughout the year. (©, 1923, WesternNowapaper Union.)

He can't die happy till he's read his obituary no- tice in the papers.\ . \Poor Dad, he's troubled over his past I\ \Vanity!\ thought the doctor, but said nothing. \That's a thing ho man can do,\ he remarked presently. Old Cyrus Hamp lay dying. Cyrus was a millionaire, and the most no- torious miser in Wall street. Also re- nowned for his shrewd, merciless strokes. Many a suicide lay to his dis- credit. Cyrus was a man who would have taken up a widow's mortgage and then cut her throat into the bar- gain. Nobody could be expected to be sorry that old Cyrus was passing out at eighty-five. The old man had simply been growing weaker day after day. And now this extraordinary craze pos- sessed him. \It's on his mind,\ said the daugh- ter. \He can't die easily until he's seen it. Couldn't^couldn't something be done, Uncle Fred?\ \What sort of thing, my dear?\ \Why—couldn't we print one copy of a paper or something, giving him a column of eulogistic, glowing bio- graphy. It's his sins that are troubling him.\ This was not very daughterly, but then Cyrus was Cyrus. \It isn't his sins, it's the fear of being unfavorably commented on after his death,\ thought Uncle Fred. \Well my dear, it might be done, but It's go- ing to cost an everlasting sum of money to fake an entire issue of a newspaper,\ he answered. \But we ought to do It for father's sake,\ 'said Mildred. \You have a printing plant, Uncle Fred; that's what I was thinking of. You could print a fake copy of the paper.\ \I'll see what can. be done,\ Uncle Fred replied. It was all arranged that night, and Uncle Fred put all his hands to work faking a newspaper. It was a fairly good fake, and likely enough to pass muster with Cyrus. And the next morning the doctor, the daughter, and Uncle Fred brought it into the room. \We've worked It, father,\ said Mil- dred. \Doctor Johnson gave out a re- port of your death to the press yes- terday evening. But you must hurry up and get well, because it will have to be contradicted today.\ \Hurruniph 1\ grunted the old miser. \Lift me up in bed and lemrae read it.\ They placed the newspaper in his hands, adjusted the light, put on his spectacles, and left him. Cyrus read slowly and painfully. It certainly was a eulogy. Not a word about the old miser's peculiari- ties. Not a word about his heartless speculations in the Street. \Our esteemed fellow citizen,\ Cyrus read, \passed away painlessly In his Sleep late yesterday afternoon. The end, while not unexpected, will come as a profound shock to the community in which Mr. Hamp's labors were ex- pended over a period of more than a generation. \Mr. Hamp was a well-known figure in Wall street and at Ills country place on Long Island. He was quite a char- acter in his way. Beneath an exterior rugged and austere makeup he had the simple heart of a child.\ \Hurrumph !\ said Cyrus Hamp. \His deeds of benevolence, though always done under the mask of secrecy, were an open secret. The smiles on children's faces rippled into happy laughter as he approached to pat them on the head. Many a man and woman alive today can testify to Cyrus Hamp's goodness, to his simple, unobtrusive virtues both as a citizen and a man.\ \Hurrumph!\ said Cyrus Hamp. \The community will be the worse off for the passing of such a man. There are few eyes that will not be dimmer today when they read of the death of this great, outstanding figure, of finance.\ \Hur-rr-rr-rump!\ yelled Cyrus Hamp, letting the paper fall. And so loudly did he yell that Mil- dred, the doctor, and Uncle Fred, who had been waiting outside, rushed In. \Oh father, what's the matter?\ \ \That—that notice!\ Cyrus gasped. \Me—me who skinned 'em alive and hung their scalps up In my vineyard! Me, the scourge \of widders and or- phans ! Me who's got more suicides to his credit than any bloodsucker in the land. Me!

Flea Season. Have you a little flea in your home? If you have not you're not in the scratching these days. If you have, don't try to camouflage by calling It a \sand flea,\ because it is just plain dog and cat flea. That's what H. F. Dletz, assistant state entomologist, says. Fleas are beginning to become .numerous. It takes a flea only a little time to be a great-great-grandfather, Dietz said. The flea question has become so en- gaging that the entomology division of the state conservation department has prepared a bulletin on how to wage war on the flea. It will be ready for distribution soon, but one has to go some to get a jump 'ahead of a flea.— Indianapolis News. Playgrounds In Mexico City. The public playgrounds presented to the City of Mexico by the American colony as their gift on the occasion of the centennial celebration of 1921, apart from their intrinsic value, have been the means of providing thousands of little ones with undreamed-of lux- ury. Excellently equipped and capably managed and sustained by an interna- tional association, they have succeeded in so Impressing the local authorities that two more playgrounds have been laid sut and completed. WHAT BECOMES OF THE- FIFTH GRADE BOY Another Wolfe. A literary squabble occurred over \The Burial of Sir John Moore,\ a well-known poem included in many school readers. It was written by Charles Wolfe, like Swift and the modern Birmingham, a clergyman of the Church of Ireland. The poem was first published by a newspaper and quiclcly reprinted in other quarters, Including Blackwood's Magazine. It was anonymous, and was credited to Moore, Campbell and others, including Byron. The author died before the public knew his name. Sir John Moore was killed at Corunna In 1809 at the end of a glorious retreat by the little British army he commanded, which had turned at bay and smashed tllP n-l-P.1t r '\\' 1 ' '•••\ before embarking' for England.

The accompanying figures on -school and college attendance are based.on statistics given in Bulletin No. 34 (192Q), issued by the Bureau of Education, United States Depart- ment of the Interior. Stand at the gate of any public school in any city in America any September morning and count lift fifth grade pupils as they answer the call of the bell. On the average they are 11 years- of age. Seven more years of grade and high school training lie ahead, and a thousand colleges and universities wait beyond with special training for useful, faithful lives. They are boys and girls of fortunate futures in a land of boundless advan- tage and opportunity. But come back a year later and stand at the sixth grade door' and, search the ranks as you will, you will find but 83 of the 100 who answered the bell the- year before. Already 17 have dropped out along the way. They have had to put their hands to work to help out the family income or have grown indifferent to the value of an education. '. The seventh grade will see but 71 of them, the eighth grade but 63, and after that the line thins even faster. Stand at the high school doorway four years from that first morning and you will count but 34 familiar faces, and four years later 14 diplo- mas will be enough for all that still remain. Now, the little group will divide evenly. Seven will go to college. And if you follow the fortunes of this dwindling company for four years more you may see two of them—yes, just two—step out on a Commencement Day in June trained for satisfying careers in business or professional life. Where are the other 98 of the noble little company of fifth graders? You will find them in the shops and stores and mills and mines, on railroads, in offices, on the farms and on the sea— two-thirds of them laboring under the handicap of an eighth grade school- ing or less—27 more with the. some- whatbetter thinking and earning pow- er that the years at High School gave them, and only 5 with the advantage in position and income yielded by some college training. But here is a compensating and gratifying fact. Among these 98 you will find a surprising' number who stand out from the others—men with trained minds, men with distinctive skill, men in highly responsible posi- tions, men in successful business of their own. They are the men who knew that waiting at the door, ready to help every man whom necessity takes pre- maturely from the classroom, is an established medium of training es- pecially designed to meet his circums- tances and his needs—the Interna- tional Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Pa For 31 years these schools have ser- ved faithfully the man who must spend his day in business or in industry, yet in whose breast burns an ambition to know more about the work o£ his choice and to attain the advancement that knowing more is bound to bring. The International Correspondence Schools recogniae fully the unique and distinctive character of the field they serve and the magnitude of their op- portunity for service. And to meet both adequately they maintain an ed- ucational service without precedent or equal In scope or practical useful- ness. They recognize that they must be prepared to help the individual to achieve a practical accomplishment whatever his individual circumstances may be. And so they come to him. They make his home the schoolroom, They make the time for study any spare moment he may have at any hour of the day or night. They provide textbooks especially prepared for individual study in the home—textbooks so cleanly and Sim- ply written and fully illustrated that only the ability to read English is re- quired to learn from them successfully And they supplement these printed texts with personal instruction by cor- respondence, so intimate and helpful that it coveys the impression of the constant inspiring presence of the ins- tructor. This service is available in 304 courses, including every branch of en- gineering and practically all depart- ments o£ business. It is designed to train men for their work at their work, wherever they may be. The International Correspondence Schools aim never to dissuade the indi- vidual from the advantages of resident school or college training if circums- tances will permit such attendance. They encourage every man and woman to remain in the classroom until abso- lute necessity forces them into wage earning. The Schools and colleges of America are splendidly preparing those in their care for useful lives. And the Inter- national Correspondence Schools, in their distinctive and infinitely larger field, constantly seek to improve and xtend the distinctive, practical service which has made them by far the larg- est educational institution in the world The International Correspondence Schools is well known in Northern New York, having been represented by P. J, Leonard, 228 Woolworth Bldg. Watertown, N. Y. for more than 20 years. Hundreds of school boys and girls have during that time taken special training with the I. C. S. and through Mr. Leonard's efforts have, been placed in responsible positions and in nearly every city and village successful students can be found who have devoted their spare time to study after they begin earning their living The International Correspondence Schools at Scranton, Pa., maintain a special student's Aid Department to help students to positions in the line in which they are specially trained. HOW TO SAVE MONEY WHEN SHOPPING By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN «B»<Bm<BKBS*W<8M''HS^^ (©, 1322, Hariantl H. Allen.) \STYLISH STOUTS\ \I would\ rather admit that I am stout and be correctly fitted than fool myself into wearing the wrong clothes that only make me look stouter than i really am,\ said one wise shopper. It is a, common wail-going -up from stout women that the styles are all made for the slender woman, and that no attention is paid to them. But there are many things which you can do foi •yourself to keep you from looking— dare I say It?—fat. Most women who are too stout make -the mistake of thinking that the tight- er they wear their clothes the bettei they will appear, This is a preposter- ous idea, for when carried to extremes, it only makes them look like something \trussed Bather should the exces- sive flesh be disguised by soft fullness And having heard or read somewhere that stripes make a person look slen- der, they make the mistake of choos- ing wide stripes. The stripes should be fine and Indistinct rather than showing any definite color or line. The cardinal point for every stout woman to keep in mind is that up-and-down lines give slenderness, and round-and- round lines emphasise thickness. It ought not to be necessary to warn her against tunic skirts, or those with ruffles, shirring, and excessive cross- wise trimming, and yet we see the walking need of such advice on the streets every day. Sleeves for the stout woman should be plain, and while not so large as tc accentuate the width of the figure, should be loose enough to conceal the super-abundant flesh. The under arm should be close, though \easy fitting.\ Cuffs that turn back serve to call at tention to the short, fat arm. If your neck is short and thick, you should not wear \choker\ collars oi any kind, The V-neckllne is your best boon, and if lace or trimming Is used it should blend in with the blouse SG that it is practically lost to the eye. In fact, trimming must always be of a harmonizing rather than a contrasting color; and on no condition must a collar or a belt boldly attract the eye. Unbroken line from neck to hem— therein lies your salvation. Black and all -»ery dark colors make a figure appear smaller. Avoid blousy, large-figured fabrics and big brocades. In selecting material for garments, pay especial attention to the sheen and fin- ish. Stiff fabrics having a glossy, bril- liant surface attract attention and make the figure appear larger, while soft, pliable fabrics in dull colors make the figure look smaller. Sugar cane waste is now being con- verted into a coarse form of board used in lining walls. Thought Beau Was for Her. Nine-year-old Marian Is her Aunt Marian's pet. And whenever auntie, who is a successful young business woman, buys herself any luxury she buys one for Marian, too. For instance, when she bought an umbrella for herself she bought Ma- rian a parasol. She bought a bicycle to jpurney to business, and Marian a tricycle. She bought a big rocking chair for herself, and Marian a' little one. The other evening she came home with a new admirer, who was one of those fellows whom nature has made of the diminutive order. For a minute Marian eyed him, and then she asked: \All right, auntie; I like him. But Where's yours?\ How It Looked to Him. \Do tell me something about the play,\ she said to the young man. \They said the climax was superb.\ \Yes I am inclined to think It was rery goad,\ said P«rcy. \Can't you describe it to me?\ she asked. \Well the heroine came stealthily on the stage and knelt, dagger in hand, behind a clump of ribbons. The hero emerged from a large bunch of purple flowers and as soon as she peroelved him she fell upon him, stabbed him and sank half-conscious into a very hand- some aigrette. This may sound queer, but the woman in front of me wouldn't remove her hat and that's how it looked.\ Strange Experience. One day as I was about to enter a dry goods store I found a dollar bill, which I turned over to the cashier. A few minutes later, while standing at tile counter of a grocery store, a wom- on next to me dropped a dollar bill.
