Under international law and usage an ambassador Is the personal representative of the sovereign or head of a state and Is accredited directly to the head or sovereign of another state. A minister is, under International law and usage, the representative of the government (ps distinct from the head of the state) and Is accredited to the government of another state. Theoretically an ambassador has the right to converse directly with the sovereign or the head of the state to which he la accredited, and likewise may correspond directly with the sovereign or head of his own country. A minister, on the other hand, in theory carries on his correspondence with the minister of foreign affairs of the state to which he is accredited, and simi-1 larly corresponds with his own government through the minister of foreign affairs of his own country. In practice the duties of an ambassador and a minister are the same. At a social and official function an ambassador, on account of his superior rank, takes precedence over a minister. Blue Paint Unpopular With Deep-Sea Sailors Seafarers In general are emphatic 1b their dislike of blue paint on a vessel. It Is a deep-rooted belief with them that bad luck will follow the use of the color. Twenty-five years or so ago the Donna Briggs, a little threemasted coasting schooner, was a familiar caller at ports between Nova Scotia and Boston. The men of the sea and ships declared that whenever she dropped anchor a storm followed. The schooner's hull was blue. "I recall that a few years ago," saldl. a Fulton Market fish dealer, "we engaged a Gloucester skipper to go down t5 a Maine port and bring back a schooner that had just been launched us. When fie found they had painted the hatches blue, he picked up his grip and started back for thg railroad station."--New York Time^*4*1* 1 - • •Asrr -y •*••• Mfijk S&re • Shrine ^ The secret of & little general store in an English village, sliutt^ld and closed for forty years, waj disclosed dfi tTTe cfeath or its owner.

Few persons knew of this remarkable instance of a son's devotion to his father's memory. The son had been left comfortably well off, bat he carefully dusted and swept the little store and lived for many years la the bouse adjoining It. A traveler who has returned to England from the Pacific has been telling some amusing stories of things that go on in the New Hebrides. Pigs, hS says, are not only eaten on a large scale, but they are the standard currency In the island. There are certain ceremonies at which It is very important to have pigs,, and they are frequently borrowed. The men who len \ pigs are like money lenders, demanding interest on their loan, and when the pig is paid back it must be the size the pig that was loaned would have grown to during the time it was borrowed. Afe Not Determined by Number of Years Uted The following bit of philosophy, written by a contributor who signs it "Author Unknown," has been received by the Detroit Free Press: "Youth is not a time of life--1-It is a state of mind. It Is a temper of the will, a quality of the Imagination, a vigor of the emotions. It Is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite of adventure over love of ease. This often exists in a boy of twenty. Npbody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their Ideals. .,,j iii'// . "Whether seventy or sixteen, there Is In every being's heart the love of wonder, the amazement at the stars and the starlike things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what next, and the Joy and the game of life. Too are as young as your faith, as old as yonr doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of your heart there is a wireless station, As long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, grandeur, courage and power from the earth, from men, and from the Infinite, so long are you young." Black Ox Always the Symbol of Misfortune The black ox symbolizes old age, ill lock, adversity, or trouble In general, according to an article In the Pathfinder Magazine. 'The black ox has trod on his foot," is a proverbial expression recorded already in 1546 by John Heywood. It means that one knows the meaning of sorrow and misfortune, such as having been visited by death. , The phrase alludes to the black cattle sacrificed by the ancient pagans to the infernal deities, especially to Plato, supreme judge and lord of the underworld. White cattle were sacrificed to Jupiter. At Rome the altar on which the black oxen were sacrificed was 20 feet below the level of the ground and was never exposed to public view except when the sacrifices were being made. Among the Arabs the black camel Is the symbol of murder and death by violent . - t"7"*"*" 'V # Defending Thirteen One of the arguments against reforming the calendar is the coincidence that tbp thirteenth of each of the thirteen months Of the proposed year would fall on a Friday. One of itg defenders answered this opposition by saving thai the Unit^J State* "grew great On thirteen and, Incidentally, on Friday. America was discovered on a Friday, the Pilgrims landed on Friday, there were thirteen American colonies, thirteen stripes and stars on the American flag, and thirteen feathers on the American eagle's tall. ^The motto, E Pluribos Pnnm, contains thirteen letters. •,/VTnV I CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS -m USE THE CLASSIFIED COLUMNS FOR QUICK RESULTS Orchestra Concert TONIGHT -*• 'r *V ' High School AuditoriuM \ ^ ' iVi*--1' => .m ?

Deihl, Woodstock, HL 27-tf Preaervj Historic Spot Main§ daughters of the American Revolution have voted that Pemaquld Is the most historic spot in the Pine Tree Btate. An act of the Maine legislature made a state park of the area surrounding the fort. In all there have been four forts at Perofiquid; the blockhouse called Fort Pemaquld, erected in 1630; Fort Charles, 1667; Fort William Henry, 1692, and Fort Frederick, 1729. It was at Pemaquld that English people are said to have landed 13 years earlier than the Pilgrims at Plymouth. Pemaquld is a part of the old town of Bristol, which was named for Bristol, England, Wfcitman'a "Ballyhoo" Walt Whitman, writes Harvey O'Higgins in Harper's Magazine, at the tinfe hip first book of poems appeared, ballyhooed himself, anonymously, in the American Phrenological Journal as the "haughtiest of writers that has ever yet written and printed a book." And in the United States and Democratic Review, for the same month of September, 1855, he hailed himself anonymously, as "one of the roughs, large, proud, affectionate, his costume manly and free, his face sunburnt and bearded, his postures strong and erect." Age Brings Penalties r ^The penalties of old age, it ti evident, are not' confined to those which Byron enumerated--gout and the stone. Loneliness must also be considered, and when we call the roll of the friends of our youth and there Is not a whisper in reply, then, perhaps, we shall feel the full burden of our years. Sir Oliver Lodge stated that science had made possible the extension of life to a hundred years. If such a gift Is universally bestowed, It will be well.

It is a commentary on human nature that we are more particular about our food than we are about regular hours of sleep, yet lt^s a factv definitely established, that it is possible to live much longer without food than without the benign embrace ,<of Morpheus. . rojnance IS Bean Geste and the jungle thrills of Chang combined in a mighty spectacle. Critics raved--so will you ! also Fox Movietone News Prices of Wheat and Flour It takes five bushels of wheat to make one barrel of flour. A barrel of flour makes 300 loaves of bread For every change in price of flour, of $1 per barrel, the baker's cost is affected to the extent of one-third of one cent for each one-pound loaf. In short, wheat would have to either advance or fall 00 cents per bushel, before it could affect the price of bread one cent per loaf. RADIO MURDERER GETS FOUR YEARS Slays Stepson in dispute Over Late Concert. -m m 4g> Sioux Falls, S. D.--With four years' Imprisonment facing him, Robert W. Wiseman, Watertown, S. D., referred to as the "radio slayer," .has b£en lodged In the state penitentiary here under sentence from the State Circuit court at Watertown. He was found guilty of slaying his stepson following a dispute over the playing of the radio in the Wiseman home at a late hour at night. Wiseman, who evidenced little concern when sentence was passed upon him, entered the penitentiary with little show of emotion, according Warden George T. Jameson.

Within that djstance of "a field meeting for religious purposes," it was decreed to be unlawful to hawk or peddle goods, to sell goods in tent or other structure, and to take care of horses for pay, unless the officers of the religious meeting gave their consult-- Detroit News. , In addition to serving the four yea'rsi for second-degree manslaughter, Wiseman was also fined $1,000 and wlll^ have to serve 500 additional days in? the penitentiary if the fine is not paid. Wiseman was sleeping on the nlghti of the slaying of his stepson, Gerald E. Ellis, when young Ellis and a party: of young men and women went to the Wiseman home and turned on the radio. This aroused Wiseman from*! his sleep, and he appeared in the room and ordered that the radio be turned off. When his stepson refused to comply with this demand Wiseman procured a shotgun and ordered him from the house. Wiseman had taken his stand in the entryway to the front door, and neatt the front door the overcoat and hat, of the stepson had been placed upon a chair. It Is thought, that whenyoung Ellis started toward the front door his plan was to obtain his over* coat and hat an*d leave the house, pe had to go directly toward Wise*.
