JOSEPH W. LaBINE
THE war in Europe is the
one subject of interest to
all our readers, but the moves
on the checkerboards of the
battlefields and diplomacy are
not easily understood.
America is being flooded
from every war-torn nation
with vast quantities of prop
aganda for the purpose of in
fluencing public opinion in this
country. Reports of actual
events are so severely cen
sored, and so many false re
ports are issued, that it is hard
to get a fair account of actual
happenings.
Scare headlines appear in
the daily papers of the world,
only to be contradicted or for
gotten in the next edition be
The Valley Forge Chapel ;
The project of Valley Forge
chapel originated in a sermor
preached 5y Reverend W Herhert
Burk, D. D.. at All Saints' church
Norristown, N. J., February 22
1903. Mr. Burke said, speuking ol
Valley Forge: ‘Would that there we
might rear a wayside chapel
to be the Nation’s Bethel for al
days to come, where the American
patriot might kneel in guest of cour
age and strength.”’” The press of the
country took up the suggestion and
the project was launched. The first
services in the uncompleted build
ing were heid February 22, 1905,
B shop Gibson of Virginia stating
it to be the crowning glory of Val
iey Forge
Aquatic Bladderwort Catches Fish
The aquatic bladderwort catches
young fish that venture into its trap
by means of a valve that shuts be
hind them. The Venus fly trap of
fers entrance to insects and frogs
and locks thern in with its sensitive
triggerlike hair. Pitcher plants are
full of water in which their victims
arown. Qne species of Borneo
pitcher plant is 12 inches in diam
eter and holds seven pints of water.
Its prey consists of small rodents
and birds
Honors Woman Explorer
In recognition of her work in mak
ing photographic surveys of the Far
North, Denmark named a large sec
tion of Greenland Miss Boyd Land
in honor of Miss Louise A. Boyd of
San Rafael, Calif., polar explorer.
France made her a Chevalier of the
Legion of Honcr, and Norway a
Knight of St. Olaf. She was the
first woman to be elected a mem
ber of the American Soclety of
Photngrammetry.
Monkeys First Smokers
Monkeys often imitate men, but
when it comes to smoking it seems
that Englishmen took after mon
keys. At Cawdor castle, the Scot
tish- stronghold supposed to be the
scene of Shakespeare’s Macbeth,
there is an old carving dating from
before the introduction of tobacco
to England, depicting monkeys
smoking pipes.
Aboeve Loch Lomond
Scotland’s Ben Lomond, over
3,000 feet high and covered with
grass to the top, can be ascended
between steamer calls, a little more
than two hours going up, less com
ing down. Loch Lomond, at its
foot, is the largest lake in Great
Britain.
First Legal Hour-Shortening
The first legal hour-chortening in
the U. S. was in 1840 when Presi
dent Van Buren, by executive or
der, cut the 11%-hour day in Navy
yards tec a maximum of 10.

foundation for the statements
covered by such headings.
In the Weekly News Analysis
we are printing each week, our
readers find a concise factual
statement of events in Europe,
with such interpretation, ex
planation and comment as will
make the report of these ac
tual happenings easily under
stood. It provides the most
valuable coverage of the war
to be found in any publication.
Weekly News Analysis is
prepared for us each week by
Mr. Joseph W. La Bine, a care
ful observer and talented writ

study of European history of
modern times and of European
‘armaments.
Mr. La Bine is a product of
rural America. He was born
and raised in a small town
and completed his education
at a mid-western university,
where he majored in journal
ism. Following his completion
of the journalism course, he
worked on a weekly newspa
per, before going into the met
ropolitan field. He has special
ized as a commentator and is
recognized as having unusual
ability in that line. His Week

pears in our columns, presents
evidence of that ability.
Our readers can confidently
accept Mr. La Bine’s state

his comments, as the basis of
their discussions of the war.
Whitewash Coai for Queen
Victoria, Queen of England from
1837 to 1901, was unaware of many
ceremonial gestures made in her
honor, one of which, says Collier’s
Weekly, was the whitewashing of
the coal for the engine of her pri
vate trair ‘‘to make it fit for royal
use.”

lEDUCATION |
| Education is for the purpose of de-‘
iveloping a child both mentally and |
Imorally. We usually think of educa-‘
tion as work within a school house, :
but this is not the way it should be.
Education is life and we are learning:
levery day but we must have our rou
‘tine school work. In order to develop
{as we should mentally and morally.
‘our teachers, our homes and our com
munities must have high standards.
EWc must develop ourselves morally
]in order that the next generation may
thave the high standards of conduct
!that we have come in contact with.
i The development of character should
[be one of the most important things
"in our schools today. We find one
;of the reasons for such a high per
{centage of crime in our country today
has been the lack of proper training
'and education. If we do not furnish
' this proper training within our schools
{many children may not get it because
tof their home environment.
| Education today is needed for our
ladults as well as for our children.
| We must train the older generations
{in order for them to be a guide for
lour younger generation. Unless our
jadults hold up the standards set by
ithe schools for the children, our
i schools are certainly going to have
{a hard time accomplishing what they
ihave set out to do.
| Education as formal training is
‘one of the most important things in
our lives today and without it we fail
'usually to have high ideals and if so
they are very seldom upheld.
