Mart found the. lake and agreed with Thad that it was beautiful. There was plenty of life and in - herding things to do. But from the moment his train pulled out of the Grand Centrale Mart was mis- erable. it was not until he had spent the better part of a week at Long Lake that the empty feeling in the pit of his stomach began to fill, and be saw for the first time that there avers things to see and do in the world. lie found himself one day Sitting on the hotel veranda talk- ing to a girl. She was a pretty girl, dark, vivacious. She was not it all like Judith. Conscious of a faint feeling of Craftsmanship?, Craftsmanship, says the historian, Is the fruit of traditional skills. For centuries; Britain has been a sanctuary for the oppressed peoples of Europe. Religious and racial per- secutions and economic duress have driven thousands of skilled craftsmen to these islands ---carpet• weavers, potters, glass - blowers, wood -workers, clock -makers, jewel- lers, tailors, silk -weavers, gold" smiths and silver -smiths, bakers, randleaticktnakers , . , and their know-how, their manipulative dex- terity and' aesthetic sensibility has become part of our own tradition. But .whit le this craftsmanship? Is, it the thuiub-nntrks on a thrown vase, the dents of the hammer in beaten silverware, the marks of the chisel on wood, the file on steel, the paintbrush on china? Can it be that the hand, as a tool or as a chuck to hold a. tool, has some mysterious advantage over the machine? le there a harmony be- tween the material and the form and the purpose of an article made by' hand that is 'beyond the power of the machine to imitate?. I was born within a china stone's throw of .the site of the Church- yard works where Wedgewood be- gan his career; I grew up among. the sandbanks wird sliraff-tips of 'the Potteries; Ilectured_for some years •at t)se Wedgewood Institdte and "studied at the Wedgwood rfuseunl; and like all 'potters` i became intensely proud of the pot- tery industry and its greatest figure. Yet if I had to assess Wedgtvood's genius solely on the strength of his ornamental wares I should not put it very much higher than that of Bernard': Palissy or Bernard Moore. For me, Wedgwood's true great- ness rests with his so-called 'Useful Wares," the table services in 'Cream Colour' or `Queen's Ware.' These wares, many of them designed and modelled by the master himself, exhibited all the true properties of clay: they were the works of an original craftsman in complete con- trol of his material, an artist con- -tent to allow, beauty to grow from Durable linen Towels is,larlselovv4mwtmoe ; '. .. �qrt� ;tom •,,:rig,; An of the best buys ' house*ife can get for her money u`tltesa' days `is the hew -count, coarse -weave linen dish towel.

No one knows how old, but it ap- pears to have been played in Hin- dustan in remote tunes, and was probably taken from there to Per- sia where the Arabs acquired a knowledge • of it. The Arabs then introduced the game into Spain in the eighth century. Thence it spread' into all Europe. The main piece of the game is the king. The Arabs, taking the name of .this piece from the Per- sians, called it shah, and when the king had been maneuvered by an opposing player into a position front which it could not be extri- cated, thus ending the game. they said, "Straw , mat, (The king is dead)." In Old. Spanish this be- came xaque nate; in Old French eschec mat, and this in turn pro- duced the Middle English chee mate, coming down to us as check- mate; And when a player notified his opponent that his king was ex- posed, the Arabian sham, though the same process, became the Eng- lish check. (All other uses of our word check, and of the British cheque have been extensions of this original sense.) When the game had reached France it became known by the • Old French name, esches, a plural ' of eschec. And when this term reached England the first syllable i was dropped, like many other simi- lar words of French origin. Thus was produced the name by which we know the game. chess. So, if we go back to original sources, "chess" is another word for "kings." The gatne of checkers (British chequers) was originally a modifi- cation of chess, and its name came front the sante source. (In Eng- land, the game is preferably known as "draughts.") And the Court of Ex -chequer, an English department of government connected with the public revenue, is believed to have taken its name in the twelfth cen- tury trom the square table whirls was laid out into square spaces, like that of a chessboard, for con- venienee in snaking calculations in the system of accountancy then in use. -From "TherebV clangs A Tale," by :'buries 1?,u le Funk. DAY SCHOOL •LESSON B REV. R. BARCLAY WARREN, B.A., B.D. SOLOMON. BEGINS HIS REIGN 1 'Kings 1:38-40; 3:5-9; 8:27-30 Memory Verse:' Trust 1st' to Cord with allthine heart; and lean not, unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acklowledge hint, and he shall direct thy paths. - ProveYbs 355-6. - - - • Solomon was the first king's' son to ascend the throne of Israel. Ab- salom and Adonijah, other sons of David had sought 10secure the throne but were foiled in their it - temps. Solomon was Bathsheba', son. His humble request for under- standing to serve the better was abundantly answered. None to this day, save our Lord Jesus' Christ, has equalled him in this quality. The people saw "that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judg- ment." The building of the temple was Solomon's most important achieve- ment. It took seven years. He made a treaty with Hiram, kink of Tyre, supplying him with food in return for skilled workmen and timber from Lebanon. The timber was taken to the sea and fluted down in rafts. Stones, which were made ready at the quarry, and some of which were very large, were so exactly measured and cut for their places in the structure that no hammer nor axe was needed or used when they were assembled. The dedication of the temple was held in connection with the feast of Tabernacles after the ark of the covenant had been brought into the most l.oly place. Solomon knelt before the great altar of burnt offering and spread forth his hands to heaven and, in the pres- ence of a vast throng, offered a lengthy prayer of dedication which was well worthy of the occasion. Then, rising from leis knees he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice. The service was concluded with the offering of a vast number of sacri- fices. This event inaugurated a new era in the history of the Jewish church and state. The memory section contains a great promise. At every age we tremblingly approach great deci- sions. Here we are assured of Divine direction if we acknowledge the Lord in all our ways. CONFIDENCE The crusty president at a Country bank suddenly decided to be candid on his eightieth birthday when somebody asked him, "How did you get started in the banking business anyway?" "Wasn't nothing to it," confessed the old moneybags. "t list hung out a sign sarin' 'Bank. Fast thing you know, a feller coulee along and deposits $100. A little later, an- 1 other .comes along and deposits ` tiosits $200. By that time 1 was so con- ftdent 1 •putt in ten dollars of my own money." AWFUL THOUGHT Two elderly ladies checked into a sporty new hotel in Miami Beach. The first thing they noticed was a furtive little man circulating from guest to guest in the lobby, whis- pering, and collecting money. They were told he was a bookie --a man who took bets on the horses. In vacation abandon, they dect- ded impulsively to risk two dollars themselves. They lost. That night one of the ladies tossed around in her bed and sighed so lugubroiusly that the 'other counseled her, "Becky, you shouldn't cry so over spilled milk. Stop worrying be- eauSe you lost. It was only two dollars." "It ain't losing I'm wor- rying about," Becky answered. "I was worrying about if we had won. What would we have done wwith the horse?" About Sa1utuu '. After the defeat of the Snanisk Armada in µ1568naval tournament ass arranged forthe victorious British seamen. At the request of Sir Francis Drake, Queen Eliza - 'beth the First consented to route down from London and award the prizes. This caused some embarrassment among her counsellors, as it would mean' bringing ordinary seamen face to face with Her lefagesty--' an awkward precedent: The officer in charge of the ar- rangements proved himself equal to the occasion. 1 -le issued orders that "on account of the dazzling loveliness of Iter Majesty, alt sea- men, upon receiving' their prize, should shield their eyes with their right hand." Only for Staves Thus was born the modern form of military and naval salute. To this day the naval salute is unique In that the hand is held horizon- tally over the eye instead of the vertical position used by the other Services. A forms of salute with an even older history is the "Etonian sal- ute" alute" of the outstretched arm, which was adopted by the German and. Italian services during the last watt, This was used at the suggestion of the Italian poet, D'Annunzio, who discovered the salute on some statue of ancient Ronie. It seems that he did not realize the significance of the gesture, be- cause in Rome citizens greeted each other by shaking hands --only slaves used the sign adopted by 'the two dictators. DISOBEDIENT An athletic drunk appeared at a ticket window in Louisville with a companion slung over his shoulder out cold, "One seat to Cincinnati, said, "Iiow about that big lug he demanded. The ticket seller you're carrying?" "Him," depre- cated the drunk, "Masa jus' mr little ' six-year-old boy Abner." "Six years old, eh?" said the ticket seller. "Why, he's fully six (feet tall, weighs about 185, and. has a drunk dumped his companion oat beard three inches long." Tho the platform and grumbled, "Dam - mit, Abner! I told you to shave("' Tllfl'A1M FRONT Joku Oatario hog *marketing agency is about ready to function, W.G. Johnson, secretary of Ontario hog producers association, told mem- bers in a recent report. * * ». Mr. Johnson said, "representa- tives attending the hog producers meeting last March passed a mo- tion instructing Ontario hog pro- ducers marketing board to set up' "a central marketing agency' whereby (togs produced in Ontario and covered by the scheme would be marketed." * * 5 "Your executive and board has, since that time, continually en- deavored to implement and con- struct basis for such an agency.
