What one thing does the world need most today «<~apart, this is, from that all-inclusive thing we call yighteousness? Aren’t you inclined to agree with the poet that what this old world needs is “just the art_of being kind”? Every time I visit a factory or any other large business concern, I find myself trying to diagnose whether the atmosphere is one -of kindness or the reverse. And somehow, if there is palpably lacking that spirit of kindness, I cannot help feeling that the owners, or the executives, have fallen short of achieving twenty-four-carat success. no matter how imposing the financial bal- ance sheet may ‘be.” Don’t these lines sum up, briefly yet comprehensively, what the world needs today?—. A little more kindness and a little less creed; A little more giving and a little less greed; A little more smile and a little less frown; A little less kicking a man when he’s down; A little more “we” and a little less “I”; A little more laugh and a little less cry; - A little more flowers on the pathway of Life; And a fewer on graves at the end of the strife. —B. C. Forbes, in Forbes Magazine: §——% A NATIONAL VIEW . ‘The country needs vast .mew power resources and-:looks- ta . water generated electric current for these. It needs a wider diffusion of its industrial activities, better -distribution of the natural prod- ucts of its interior, cheaper transportation énsu and, perhaps, as much as anything “else, an'inte- rior whose publi¢ opinion will react more readily to the ‘international aspect of world affairs today.

In some cases, these men, through their own ability or through the scarcity of more competent workers, became sub- foremen, who were instructed to take charge of their particular part of the job in case of the death or illness of their immediate superiors. It was from one of these that the company received the followmg ‘telegram: “Boss dead. “What to do?” “If.you are sure he is dead, bury him. Will send another boss,” wired back the company. ' The next day they received a telegram from the obliging alien: “All right, buned him. Made sure he was quite dead. Hit him on head with shovel.”—Los Angeles Times. — Keep your mind filled with creative thoughts and we will all be squeezing your hand and con- gratulating you for one thing or another—possibly for making good with the manhood that is yours. And that, as you know, is a devil of a big accom- plishment—better than leading the sales force, writing a successful play or a best seller. or per- forming any other stunt that wins the plaudits of the mob.~Tom Drier, in Forbes Magazine‘ $ ] Big Bill Hnyward is sending money over from Russia to help the miners win their strike.

Alan leaned forward a little and then, with an eftort, sat straight. Con- stance turned and gazed at him; but he dared not look at her. He felt her hand warm upon his; it rested there a moment and movecC away. “There was a third man in the wheelhouse when these things were spoken,” Father Perron sald, “the mate of the ship which had been laid up at Manistique.” “Henry Spearman,” Sherrill sup- plied. “That is the name. -Benjamin Cor- vet told me of that man that he was young, determined, brutal and set upon getting position and wealth for him- self by any means. He watched Corvet and Stafford while they were speak- ing, and he, too, listened to the shoal until Stafford had come back; then he went aft. “ 1 looked at him, Father,’ Benjamin Corvet said to me, ‘and I let him go— not knowing. He came back and looked at me once moreé, and went again to the stern; Stafford had been watch- ing him as well as I, and sprang away The tug leaped suddenly; there was no longer any tow holding it back, for the hawsen. had parted; and I knew, Father, the reason ‘was that Spearman had cut It! «¢I rang for the engine to be slowed, and I-left” the ‘wheel -and went aft; some _ struggle iwus :golng on at the denly all wgs light about me as, gware of the breaking of the hawser and alarmed by the shot, the searchlight of the Miwaka turned upon the tug. The cut end of the hawser was still upon the tug, angd Spearman had been trying to clear.this when Stafford attacked him; they Yought, and Stafford struck Spearman down. He turned and cried out against me—accusing me of hav- ing ordered Spearman to cut the line. He held up the cut end toward Rams- dell on the Miwaka and cried out to him and showed by pointing that it had been cut. Blood was running from the hand with which he pointed, for he had been shot by Spearman; third time, from where he lay upon the deck, Spearman fired. The second of those shots killed the engineer, who had- rushed out where I was on the deck; the third shot went through Stafford’s head. The Miwaka was drift- ing down upon the reef; her whistle sounded again and again the four long blasts. The fireman, who had followed the engineer up from below, fawned on me! I was.safe for all him, he said; I could trust Luke—Luke would not tell! He teo thought I had or- dered the doing of that thing! “‘From the Miwaka, Ramsdell yelled curses at me, threatening me for what he thought that I had done! I looked at Spearman as he got up from the deck, and I read the thought that had could cut the hawser in the dark, none seeing, and that our word that it had been _broken would have as much strength. as any “accusation Stafford could make. He had known that to share a secret such as that with me would “make” him on the lakes; for the loss of the Miwaka would cripple Stafford: and Ramsdell and strengthen me; and he could make me share with him whatever I made. But -Stafford had surprised him at the hawser and had seen. “‘I moved to donnun(-e Thim, Father; as I realized this; I moved—but stépped. He had made himself safe against accusation: by me! None— none ever would believe that he had done this except by my order, if-he should claim that; and he made plain that he was going.to claim.that. .He called me a fool and defied me, Tuke —eyen my, own man, the only ong left on the tug with ust=believed 4t: ZAnd there was murder imit now, with'Stafs ford. dying there upon the deck and { with; the certalnty that all these on | the Miwaka could not be saved.

The tug, whose wheel I had lashed, heading her into the waves, had been moving slowly. Spearman pushed me aside and went to. the wheelhouse; he sent Luke to the engines, and from that moment Luke was his. ‘He turned the tug about to wheré we still saw the lights of the Miwaka.
