| THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND. July 10, 1920—Page 3 CENTER" OF BRITISH EMPIRE "LIVE UP TO" THE CHILDREN Unpretentious Dwelling in London Houses the Real Rulers of Great Commonwealth of Nations. For 200 years a severely plain and unpretentious three-story brick dwelling has become widely known throughout the world as Britain's central office of the diplomatic service. "No. 10 Downing street" refers to one of London's historic houses on the so-called "street of power," which nestles close to the confines of Whitehall. There have dwelt therein celebrities, such as Walpole, Pitt, Chatham, Canning, Disraeli and Gladstone. In all, no fewer than fifty ministers have lived there. Sir George Downing, after whom the thoroughfare is named, was the son of a London barrister, a nephew ¦of Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts colony, and a graduate of Harvard, who obtained the house as a gift from Charles II as a reward for unusual service performed by him while he was representing his country In Holland. He had emigrated to America at the age of fourteen and when he left Harvard, in 1645, a youth of twenty-one, he became an itinerant preacher in the West Indies. Shortly afterward he returned to England and became a chaplain in Colonel Okey's regiment. As a faithful Puritan, who later in life assured Charles II that he saw the error of his ways due to the principles imbibed during his stay in New England, he shortly afterward enrolled under Cromwell as a scout master. After Downing's death, when the lease on the building lapsed to' the crown, the property was given to the Hanoverian minister, Count Bothma, by George II, and, when the count died, was tendered to Walpole, who accepted it on condition that the house should forever remain the residence of Britain's ministers. Mast-Furnishing Tree. In Canada and eastern United States the larch, a sturdy tree, which belongs to the pine family, often grows 50 or 60 feet high and is generally known as hackmatack, while in the Central states it is called tamarack. The European variety is even taller and has longer leaves which don beautiful autumn tints before falling. On account of its long, tapering form, the tree is extremely useful for masts in sailing vessels, telegraph poles, and a variety of purposes, and as it is common from the Arctic circle to the United States, it is easily found for the especial use for which it is adapted. Writer Condemns Old-Fashioned Idea of Repression and Stern Punish. ment for Trivial Offenses. It seems to me a great mistake to "live down to" children. They are capable of understanding and responding to deep and fine thoughts and feel--fugs. .Wver from the first did we criticize or humiliate our boys in any way. We g.-tve Miein credit always for the high i!i<: i¦:xlii Motive, and suspended judg-li(Ii'! >il! liey had told their side. But if !:; 'v ' "¦'** wrong they were not pun-isIk.i. i I,,, fncr that they had fallen below whin had been expected of them was . punishment enough. A certain standard of conduct was thus established that they longed always to realize. They were able, even then, to%ee the beauty of certain qualities and the ugliness of others. It was lovely to see them trying to conform to the habit in the household, of unfailing courtesy and unselfishness and restraint. They often failed. They often showed their temper. But they grew to be more and more ashamed of their failures. Character cannot be built from the outside. Coercion does not make for strength—only for compliance. That, it seems to me, is the great mistake some parents make. They exact obedience when they should instill principle. Inspire! That is the better word. Then the child will have an inner light to guide him, a compass to steer him to a certain goal. When the guiding hand is lifted, so many are, left with iip, deep convic- tions—principles to" shape their destiny—but impulses. They may be good, they may be bad, as life plays upon their emotions and desires. To trust to them for guidance is like going out upon a stormy sea in a tiny craft at the mercy of tossing waves and wind. —Katron Trousda'le, in Christian Herald. SNAP SHOTS OF NEWS. European Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu is supposed to come from Japan, but an art of self-defense virtually identical with' lt> was taught in Europe during the seventeenth century.

WADE'S Gasoline DRAG SAW Cuts 25 Cords A Day Has a capacity of 25 cords a day and will pay for itself in a season's work and leave you a handsome I profit besides. ' When loaded with gasoline and water it weighs only 285 pounds. One man can move it on a log and | it only takes two to shift it from one log to another. Don't be fooled with rigs mounted on wheels. They I could not be hauled otherwise on account of their weight. They have 4-cycle engines of only 3 horse ! power with valves and springs. Our 2-cycle engine is compact light weight (being % or only 285 pounds j complete) 4 horse power and eliminates valve and spring trouble. We furnish 6 foot blade regular; 5 or 7 foot if desired. There is only ONE WADE and it has half a century reputation behind it. Cuts a 40-inch log in five minutes, about ten times as fast as two men with a cross-cut saw can do it in the oldfashioned way. It's just as far ahead of hand power as the automobile is ahead of walking—in fact, it's the application of the auto principle to the saw. The WADE SAW is equipped with a 4 horse power, 2-cycle gasoline engine, driving the saw with abundant power, while a safety clutch prevents the saw pinching in the cut. Saw has 20-inch stroke, and one gallon of gasoline will cut about ten cords of wood.
