They re in order that have both sides issues which are being sed in the press of the day, Publishers Laziness, rather than necessity, is the mother of inven- ition. Nearly all progress is the result of man’s attempt to dodge work—find an easier way. . Sa The cave man disliked the hard labor involved in climbing up the steep cliff to his cave. So he pondered and schemed until the idea of a rope or rawhide ladder occurred to him. Ages later, laziness revolted at climbing stairs and invented the elevator. j eis ‘ Long ago, far back in the mists of time, a primitive genius staggering through the jungle with a heavy carcass on his back sat down to rest. A wild horse galloped past. Presto! Here was a beast that might carry man’s burdens. Hard to catch and tame the horse, but laziness was enough induce- ment. ‘To handle the horse, harness had to be invented. La- ter, wagons with wheels. The gigantic science of transportgg tion came into being.

Invention and progress result from the desire to escape work. But hard toil and long hours are necessary, to’ find the easier way of doing things. The steady plugger may not personally find an easier way. But he is an important part of the race that’s finding it. - The race is what counts, not the individual. Inventors of importance are nearly always terrifically hard workers.

Everything, after all, S=25“Dpr. Orland E. White had read a lot about the beauties _pand adventures of the Amazon River and its jungles. He smade a long trip there. It proved monotonous, he reports— - “an everlasting sameness, continual rains day after day, and during dry season perpetual sunshine, resulting in ennui and loss of energy.” But distance lends enchantment. Amazon people prob- ably long to trade places with us. Forty years ago, kerosene was the main byproduct of crude oil. Around refineries, men drew off a barrel of gaso- line to wash a pair of overalls, and dumped it out. came the auto. Then This year, refiners say, 9177 million gallons of gasoline will be produced in the United States. more than, in 19: This will be a fifth How long, at this rate of increase, until the underground oil reserves will be exhausted? i The future fuel, and probably within your lifetime, will be alcohol or electricity sent by radio from central stations. BLAST Our bodies are puny, but, aided by our intellects, we do the work of a race of giants. On the western shore of Great Salt Lake, railroad builders recently literally moved a moun- tain by touching an electric button. feet of rock and dirt were torn loose and scattered. Half a. million cubic It was equivalent to throwing into the air a 10-story building 1000 feet long. Thi certainly is no country for a loafer. And the day is not far off when the man who won’t work won’t eat. Parasites will be weeded out. RECOVERING When the World War ended, there was a lot of talk about it being centuries before the world would recover. Looks “new as if most of the material damage will be repaired in one generation. Recovery is taking place amazingly fast. The income of all the people of the nations that fought in the war was about 93 billion dollars in 1913. Their income now is over 82 bil- jions a year, measured in the same coin—pre-war gold: dol- lars. And income is a mirror of production—human toil. ORCHID Adventure lurks in the most unexpected places. You’d never imagine it, but lion hunting is a tame sport compared with hunting orchids in the jungle, says John E. Lager, vet- eran florist. -2 -. These beautiful flowers are defenseless, so they make their homes in virtually inaccessible regions infested by poisonous snakes, alligators and disease-bearing insects. Even the jungle flower is as intent on attaining old age the scientist experimenting with monkey glands. ; OPPORTUNITY All orchids used to be imported from the jungles. This was stopped by law five years ago. Americans now grow their own orchids by artificially dup- licating the tropical climate in which orchids thrive. Man has superb intelligence—where money is the goal. In the whole country are not more than 100 orchid grow- ers. The supply is never equal to the demand. That’s what keeps the prices high. ‘Here, possibly, is the opportunity you seek.

PR Viscount Kaneko paid a fine tri- bute to the American press in his address at the fare-well dinner in Tokio in honor of the retiring American Ambassador when he de- clared that in f2 years of obser- vation he'ihas never known the press of the United States to show such consideration for any foreign country as it hag shown Japan in the present crisis. This attitude of the press is of the utmost value to peace, in that it shows that the American people whose opinion it reflects are not in sympathy with the politicians re- sponsible for, an_ offensive action and ‘bad> faith.

It is Harvey’s contention that Lodge's unlibexal interpretation of the document and his failure to seek diplomatically and privately a rewording of its ambiguities by the Japanese ambassador are pri- marily responsible for the ensuing train of unhappy events. And it is Harvey’s further conclusion that Lodge’s course was not dictated by the senator’s own sense of outrage at Hanihara’s seeming brashness, ‘but by a very definite and sinister inclination to place the White Mouse and the administration in an embarrassing position. Whether this analysis is correct or not, there is a decided tendency in Massachusetts, no less than in other quarters, to accuse Lodge of this same desire and will to defeat tie President.—Detroit News.

EVERETT CATCHING COLDS The popular idea that colds orgi- nate with dragts was accepted by Mr. Jones of Anytown, as well as by most people. As a matter of fact, this is a greatly exaggerated notion. There is prevalent aid unreason- able prejudice against air in motion. A gentle draft is always welcomed by the health seeker. The trouble is any draft‘ is mis- n for a dangerous one. trong drafts that come in con- tact’ with an expased- part of the body, causing a chill, are likely to bring bad results. Persons over- sensitive to drafts are generally peo- ple unaccustomed to ventilation. People well acquainted with plenty of ventilation are not ‘likely to be the oney getting colds from drafts. The sooner a person gets well ac- quainted with air in motion) the sooner he is likely to be able to face drafts—even strong ones. Colds are far more likely to arise from catarrhal conditions, ‘or low- ered vitality, or infection than from drafts—especially mild ‘ones Everything could be worse.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER, CONTINUED In silence Jack, with his hand un- der my arm, pulled me along to the roadster, dumped my bag in beside me and started with a jerk that threw my head back violently. “I beg your pardon,” he said with icy politeness. “Don’t mention it,” I said quite as suavely, but, little Marquise, 1 could not stand it. “Jack,” I remonstrated, “you just asked me to promise you that I would never go away and leave you again. mea tempted now to turn right arowhd and go‘back to New York, for ever since Ihave been away, dear, you have written me such wonderful love'-Jetters, | you have told me how lonely you were, and I have loved you so greatly, that it is breaking my heart to come home to find that you are grouchy over such a little thing as my bob- bing my hair, especially as you have already told me that ‘it was more ‘becoming than when it was long. You are just nursing your own fool- ish prejudices. ' “Have you any. particular objec- tion to bobbed hair?

He hates.to have his wife break tradition. I couldn’t bear to see you smoke, dear, and yet last evening at dinner, I made no ob- jections; in fact, I thought it rather smart, when Mrs. Atherton brought out her cigaret case and deliberate ly lighted a monogrammed fag, with’ her coffee.” “Oh, did Sally dine at the house last night?” I asked. pie “No. We worked late and went afterward over to the hotel grill.” “She is an awfully clever girl, Jack,” Iosaid. “The cleverest I have known,” ‘he answered quickly. Would you believe it, little Mart quise, that at this unqualified com- pliment I felt a little qualm of envy?

Dear Jack, he met me more than halfway. “Leslie,” he said as he returned my kiss, “don’t think I am angry. I was just surprised and hurt. I felt as though you had maimed your- self, as though you had cut off some of your lovely fingers. But I am not going to worry any longer.

He was the Ras Taffari,- prince regent of Abyssinia. Also he is @ lineal descendant, sv the chroniclers, of his.country s#y, of the very famous and beautiful. Queen of Sheba, who paid a very celebrated visit to King Solomon. But there was one big difference between the Ras and his lovely an- cestor. The queen brought to the land of Palestine ivory, apes and peacocks and other strange beings. The Ras brought to France a lot of maps and statistics. He is interested in what “the white man calls prog- ress. He wants his country to boom. So he wants some more French money to make extensions to the railway system in his country and he , waite, to develop p seaport whence the’ products ‘Abyssinia may ‘find their: way € the white mans markets.
