Uiom wfli knew their worth, with
~the result that modest memorials
have been erected to their memory.
A fine example of this is the stat-
ue of- Margaret Haughery in New
Orleans. In 1850 she assisted in rais-
ing funds for the New Orleans Fe-
male Orphan Asylum, located just
back of where her monument stands.
She was an unlettered Irish woman
who conducted a large bakery busi-
ness. She helped in the building of
several asylums. She died in 1882 be-
loved by the entire city, men, wo-
men and children, many of whom
only knew her as Margaret.
Numbers of monuments to the
memory of noble, self-sacrificing
women are to be found throughout
the world, and it is safe to say that
few, if any, of them have been erect-
ed to those who were undeserving
of the honor paid them. Then there
are millions of women whom the
public never hears of who in their
quiet and self-effacing way are de-
serving of memorials greater than
numbers of those whom the world
has seen fit to call "great.”

invited to place marbel or bronze

gestions For Health of
Young Children
(Dalis News, of June 21)
“And Jacob rose up early in the
lOrrAng, and took the stone that he
id put for his pillows and set it up
>r a pillar, and poured oil upon the
ip of it. And he called the name of
rat place Beth-el.*'—Genesis 27:

pRIZE winning spring flowers do
• not just*happen. From the mo-
ment the seed is sown to the time
of the award, the horticulturist
gives the plant all the care and at-
tention at his
command. The
proper heat, the
correct amount
of water, timed
sun baths and
exposure to the
air, fertilisers
idded to the soil
and the most
‘ scrupulous pro-
tection against
disease and oth-
er enemies. His
reward is a perfect bloom—a
medal, or a blue ribbon.
Babies and Flowers
So during May, the "Child
Health Month," so called, mothers
should remember that their babies
must have much care if the} are to
blossom into healthy youth—and
later healthy adulthood. Even be-
fore the child is born you must
give much thought to his health.
Throughout the months he is devel-
oping within your body you must
eat the proper diet, take the proper
-rest and get the proper exercise.
For each of these have all to do
with the health and well-being of
the coming baby. You should place
yourself under the care of your
family doctor and follow his advice
just as soon as you know you are
to become a mother.
When the baby arrives, and he
will be healthy and happy if you
nave adhered closely to the advice
of your doctor, never for a moment
must you relax your vigilance. The
baby must have the proper food at
the proper time including plenty
of milk, fruit and vegetables; he
must have plenty of fresh air and
sunshine; he must have a sun bath
daily; he must be bathed regularly;
he must get his morning and after-
noon naps and he must get twelve
to fourteen hours sleep in a quiet,
well ventilated room. Besides this
he should be taken to the doctor at
regular intervals and should be im-
munized against diphtheria when
nine months old and vaccinated
against smallpox a little later.
The Greatest Prixo
Rearing a baby is a much harder
job than raising prize winning
(lowers. But if the above sugges-
tions are followed your baby will
have health—the greatest prize on
earth.
What is perhaps the mast unique

greeted by man is expected to be

mar Boissevain, Mantoba, Canada,

k is to be located on the United
ktates-Canadian border on a 2,000-
lere site. It will take the form of a
mce Garden, the plan being de-
veloped by a joint committee of
kmericaiis and Chhadians. A' great
puntain is to form the center at-
traction of the Garden.
I This magnificent monument is to
k dedicated to “progress in world

Monuments to Masters
A very significant fact comes to
one considering the matter of men
and monuments. This is that in more
ancient times men became masters
of other men and built monuments
to themselves. Now monuments are
built by the people to their benefac-
tors, the worthy great. Naturally the
memorials erected by despots like
those in the Orient and in Egypt are
the most pretentious and massive.
This is because they were built by
the slaves of the master—the King
or Emperor—and were erected at
the expense, arduous labor and cruel
oppression of him who.should have
been their benefactor.
The stupendous pyramids of
Egypt, tombs of Pharaohs, were
built centuries before He came who
taught that worldly greatness avail-(
eth nothing.” Men have ignored
much of His teaching, but they have

World’s Halls of Fame
It were regrettable that the va-
rious statues, monuments and other
memorials raised to deserving men
and women throughout the world
can not in some way be brought to
the attention of the people every-
where, especially to the youth of the
land. Were this possible it is likely
that many would be inspired to em-
ulate the examples of those me-
morialized.
As it is, comparatively few of
those deserving the laurel wreath or
illty of world
peace,
Bhether or not the world is making
Hrogre:» in that direction is a matter
B>r argument. The present seems to
Be another time in the history of the
Borld when we heat the croy of
^peacc, peace; when there js no
Beace." Only peace can come when
HghteousncsK comes. It is then only
Khat it can be said that “Righteous-
rmess and peace have kissed each
I Other," for without righteousness
tfhero can be no peace.
World peace can not be permanent
so long is nations discuss it with one
another much as men “jockey" while
trading horses. Representatives of
the different nations seem to be ob-
sessed with the idea that they are
there to make a trade by which the
Nation each represents is to "get the
'tiest of it.” The discussion of arma-
Nments, which is supposed to have in
, view ultimate permanent peace, is
r carried on in pretty much the same
.way.
k 'An Example That te a Monument
| Surely if there is a place on the
Mace of the earth deserving the lo-
ftcation of a monument dedicated to
■he "progress of world peace,” it is
■He bolder line between the United
■States end Canada. It is the* longest
Unfortified border between two na-
Uions in the world. Along this divi-
Ipion line peace has reigned continu-
■wLily for more than a hundred years.
■P-'hy? It is because such questions
■as have come up necessitating the
fconslderation of the two govern-
ftnents have been stilled without
■crimony. So far as the United
stales end .England, or any of the
British dependencies are concerned,
,.|t is altogether unlikely that there
ever will be a resort to war to ad-
just any difference that may arise.
4K likely will be settled with Hie in-
telligence, reason and common sense
<that should prevail in the settlement
©f all international problems.
Other Peace Monuments
There are several monuments on
International borders erected by the
two countries adjoining that are in-
tended to emphasize their desire for
©tamal peace between them. In 1903
i a colossal statue of Christ was erect-
ed on the border of Argentina and
Khile. It is located at the highest ac-
cessible point in the Andes, and is
lealled the "Christ of the Andes.” It
I is made of the bronze of cannon used
IBy the Argentine Army.
I New Peru and Chile are preparing
I to erect a similar monument on the
rfteiglits of Morro de Arrica, to sm-
Dolize the new era of peace between
(hose two countries. Representatives
' ©f the two nations have signed a
protocol agreeing to the erection of
•he monument. What the inscription
On this statue is to be is not known.
The one on the “purist, of ,the, An-
des" between Argentina and Chile is
impressive in its wording; "Sooner
•hall these mountains crumble into
‘dust than the people of Argentina
and Chile shall break the peace,
which they have sworn to maintain
at the feet of Christ the Redeemer.”
What is said to be the largest stat-
matter of art, there are in the United!
States numerous monuments, princi-
pally to its great men. Naturally
enough most of them are to men who
have been instrumental in creating
and preserving the Government.
Many are in memory of men who
have devoted much of their lives

in various constructive activitid^^P
An extraordinary example in
uniqueness, beauty, impressiveness,
and permanence is that partially
finished on the granite sides of Stone
Mountain in Georgia. In it will be
represented those who had the larg-
er parts in the struggle of the Con-
federacy known as the Civil War.
Lee, Jackson, Davis, Johnston and
the other leaders of the military and
civil activities of the “lost cause.”
Another quite similar to the Stone
Mountain work is that being done by
the same artist high upon the sides
of Mount Rushmore in the Black
Hills of South Dakota. It is to be
known as the Mount Rushmore Na-
tional Memorial. Already the colos-
sal head of George Washington, 60
feet high, can be seen. The other
great figures yet to be carved in the
eternal rock are those of Lincoln,
Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt.
Possible “another Roosevelt,” who
may achieve even greater distinction
than Theodore within a decade or so,
will some day be added to the illus-

It is a gratifying fact that there
does not exist in America a monu-
ment to the memory of any despot,
autocrat, tyrant or oppressor of
mankind. Not one exists that was
built at the order of him whom it
honors, as did many of those in oth-
er and older lands.
Monuments to the Lowly
It is an invisible monument to the
people themselves that there are at
least a few memorials in granite, as
well as in hearts, to the lowly and
obscure who have loved and labored,
cared for and comforted men, wo-
