The matter resolves into an urge for accomplishment rather than a re- quest for the unattainable. Put in this light, every person may well voice the idea, couched in some such phrase as: “Oh, how I do wish I could get more done!” It is such an urge as this that prompts persons to make the most of thelr time, day by day. If it is amas- Ing how little some persons get done, it is equally astonishing how much some others accomplish. Both have an equal amount of time. Circum- stances and environment enter into the equation, with time, and the first two things may vary, but the last one, time, is undeviating, and this s the thing most longed for, appar- ently, Some Solutions, There is little advantage in consid- ering this subject that is so vast and awe-inspiring In its inevitability and magnitude, unless we can arrive at some helpful conclusions, 12 not posi- tive solutions. So let us see what ideas can be wrung from the discus- slon that may in some measure help to solve housewives' perplexities. The first idea is elimjnation. De- cide between the essentials and the non-essentials in the work, and refuse to allow yourselves to worry over things left undone that must give place to those of more value. Haumpering Things. Do not permit yourself to be mpered by an accumulation of things. Make the best use of every- thing, but do not for a moment be- lieve that you should get the final use of all things. Let some one else get some benefit from them There fis more time wasted in going over and over unused articles that may some time come in handy; In airing and re- packing them in ets and draw- ers than any future use of these same things would warrant. ot course, we are mnot now considering precious heirlooms or things valued for assoclations rather than future usefulness,. Wha we are eaking about are those things that are kept merely because they ma ome day fill some use, however small. Mean- while we are cramped for closet room, and bemoan the faét that we have not enough bureaus! We are making work for oursel that takes time, and hampering housework from run- ning smoothly. Moreover, there are many in positive need who could be made comfortable by these very things that are occupying us to no account. Avoid slow transitions. It is sur- prising how much precious time is lost merely by this one thing alone. Instead of going to & mew task di rectly we have finished another, we allow qurselves to be diverted by al- most anything as we change our oc- cupations. We neither rest, work nor enjoy ourselves. We merely slow up our speed unnecessarily, and con- sequently lose time in a rutile w Time for Pleasure. It is a mistake to prod ourseives on from one task to another, with no rest or recreation. Strange as it may seem, this s one of the most common ways of home-makers losing time. If, instead of making transitions slowly and working in a lazy fashion, we went about the housework with zest, we should accomplish the maximum amount without encroaching on time which we should devote absolutely to relaxation, to pleasure, or to getting sufficient sleep, Working every min- ute does not accomplish the most Energetic work, Interspersed with positive pleasures and rest, is far more productive. Accomplishment counts, not the mere spending of time in work. We can learn to be thrifty in our expenditure of time. Maple Pie.

Tomorrow’s planetary aspect shows a marked improvement over those of today, and in the afternoon and evening are quite benign. They do not, in the early part of the day, in- dicate any urge to attempt big things, but they do denote an air of calm and an absence of any emotions that tend to create antagonism or dis- satisfaction. It is, therefore, an au- spicious occasion for continuing the new efforts made on the preceding day. In the afternoon, there is little stimulus for enterprise, but there ‘s an atmosphere of restfulness and freedom from worry. The vibrations will react very favorably on emo- tions; and love, if declared, will un- doubtedly find an affectionate re- sponse, and the vows of marriage, if taken today, show every promise of being kept. . The life that begins tomorrow will be blessed with normal health, and the few miner illnesses that threaten it will be only “ripples on the water.” None of them will be waves that ingulf. The character developed will be generous and considerate, the disposition will be cheerful and the inclination both studious and am- bitious. Tt should, given wholesome environment in its early da; achleve a considerable degree of success, but is liable to experience a love disap- pointment that will embitter for some long time its existence. It will make many friends, as a result of sincerity of character and loyalty of' disposition. Those whose birthday is celebrated on March 26, are, although funda- mentally sound, rather frivolous, and too disposed to treat the serious af- fairs of life with an undue degree of levity. It is just as harmful to magnify troubles as it is to minim- ize them. A proper sense of propo tion is missing in thls “make-up, and, as thelr intellectual vision Is subject to astigmatism, they are not as successful as their capabllities would, under other and better con- ditions, justify. Those of tomorrow's children who are women should mar- ry, in order to be able to rely on the judgment of their mates. Those of them who are men will be more successful in subordinate positions than if they atfempt to paddle their own canoes. Both men and women will thereby be able to avold the consequences of their lack of good judgment. ‘Well known persons born on this date are: David H.

Ramble Around South America BY RIPLEY. Rovorfo CHIARL fi’ PResIDENT of he REPUBLIC of PRNA. Tanima Ofy Ninth Day. PANAMA CITY, February 3.—Glve me the tropics! They fit my indolent nature so well, I could sit here on the veranda of the Union Club overlooking Panama Bay and llsten to the cowbirds caw and watch the buzzards sall until I turned rusty and crumbled away like the sleepy old Spanish churches and buildings that huddle along the glis- tening water. This is the land of the Manana—and it is with effort that I reach for the tall-stemmed glass of Rhin Chill, the temperance drink of South America. Panama City s the oldest town on the Pacific—and looks it. It was the first permanent settlement in the new world—the Wayside Inn along na- ture's crossroud where passed 0 many gallant zouls of old and where now passes the commerce of the world. 1t is delightfully picturesque. A bit of old Spain—rusty and moldy with age and romance. Along this way passed a wondrous crowd. 1t was the golden highway. Here trekked the intrepld troop of Pizarro on their way to rob the Inca sun temples of their glittering orna- ments; and here trod the stampede of “Forty-Niners” on thelr way to the El Dorado of California We usually think of Forty-Niners in covered wagons crossing the plains of the west and little realize that in the early ¥s of the gold rush there were twice as many to make the jour- ney by way of the Isthmus. In fact the song hit of those golden days ran something like this: I'm going to Caliform'a, The gold dust for to see; 1 jumped aboard the 'Lisa ship And traveled on _the sea, And every time 1 thought of sea 1 wished it wasa't me. I am surprised that more people do not visit Panama. It is perpetual Sum- mer here and the climate varies but little. The highest temperature ever recorded was 98 degrees Fahrenheit and the lowest was 59. 1t is as healthy es any spot in the United_States—thanks to Uncle Sam, who cleaned the place up ong ago.

That is worth the trip alone. But we are awakened by Don Jose de Lemos, who hustles the captain and me into an auto which bumped along the narrow streets—on the left-hand side, English fashion—and abfuptly careened around corners in such a way that several natives were fright- ened out of their chronic reveries, until we stopped at the presidency. El Senor President of the Republic de Panama, Rodolfo Chiari, speaks no English, I speak as little Spanish, so we both talked fluently without dis- turbing each other. The President is a brilliant man with & keen mind and t01d me many intresting things about the advancement of his country (as I learned later), but all that I under- | stood was a shrug of his shoulders | when he looked at the sketch I made | of him. | “Usted me hace parecer muy viejo,” |he said, which, being translated, “lnL‘al’lH that he thought I made him look too old. try this Menu for a Day.
