In the old days you could go to sleep and the intelligent horse would bring you safely home, but that method of driving dees not work when applied to an automobile. Some threaten injunction to keep the Over Sea Highway from passing through their lands, while others are petitioning the county commissioners let the road split their property through the middle. That creates a queer situation. It would not be a bad idea for the powers that be to furnish the motorists of Key West with copies of the primary dictionary of the English language, underscoring the definitions of such simple words as “stop,” “slow,” “church,” “school,” “quiet,” ete.

AN EASTER THOUGHT):,..5 .°- ‘ 4 “% The story of the resurrection of . ,as told in the sacred scriptures is differently interpreted by different people. It is not necessary for people to think just alike about it. The essential thing is that the sul of the Master was thereby. shown by certain well attested occurrences to have been immortal, and this natur-. ally suggests faith that those who’ ‘try to’ follow after his spirit and principles will likewise acquire this gift of immortality. 5 The Easter festival is partly of pagan origin, with some customs that existed before Christianity conquered the western world. The fathers of the Christian religion saw the happiness. that people found in great popular festivals, and they- wisely took these old occasions and made them over into celebrations illustrating the truth “of Christianity. It ig one sign of the power of the Christian Teligion, that where these old festivals were formerly at- tended by much that was lowering, whem they were adapted over for Christian uses, they .were lifted to a higher plane. pipe The Easter observance comes to man today, struggling with sorrows and disappointments, and tells him that his soul is immortal, or af least that’ it can be if he will set his face toward immortality and try to be worthy of it. It teaches him not to set his heart on_ the transient goods and the fleshy enjeyments 6f this world, which have so little .real value, but to try to find his satisfactions in the faithfal performance. of duty, in generous and kindly ‘acts, and in fidelity to those noble principles of conduct and faith that were proclaimed by the great Master of us all. ed With this hopeful philosophy, we ‘can meet the : shocks of our earthly career with confidence, and look forward with peaceful hearts to whatever is beyond. 2 THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS Among our modern thinkers arg many pessi- mists who seem to feel that the country» is in a pretty bad way. One complaint often-heard is that the whole nation is engaged in a mad mble for wealth, in which only a few can be s rest of the people, it is argued, are forced to get along in a nartow kind of way in which they can find little pleasure. But the average person.can have | a Great. many, satisfactions, even if he’ ‘or she does not tain any wealth. If people have “education, the wide world of books and literature is open to them at slight cost. Such people should find ‘greater: spleabure dn | the masterpieces of romance and poetry, than is Whether or hot people have education, there are many pleasures open to them. Modern inven- tion has brought the automobile + ‘$oyonr doors and- placed it within the reach ‘of the Tamily. With this wonderful facility we" can wander around the country on our off days, and tuke de- light in the beauty of nature. The wonders of moving, pictures, radio instruments, the phono- graph, ete., bring us constant entertainment for. little money. Oy Ft 3 < Tt seems a rather course view df the world, to feel that only by. spending a lot-of-money-can one obtain happiness. The wealthy are not probably any happier than the average person.” Happiness is obtained by some form of pleasant & ‘attivity. The penniless youngster playing baseball or tennis and putting the full enthusiasm of his nature into his game, is probably a lot happier than the average man of wealth, who has often injured his«health in the struggle for success, Family relations should give him a igreat deal of happiness.. The poor man with strong sons and daughters growing up often feels richer than the childless man of wealth. Happiness is not measured by the opportunities to gain riches. GENIUSES- AMONG THE LABORERS Sean O’Casey, the Irish dramatist who a year ago was a building laborer, has won an English prize of 100 pounds for the best work-of imagina- tive literature by a man under 40. While not many laborers are literary geniuses, the manual workers include a certain number who have scholarship and literary talent. Many would say these people missed their call- ing. That might be true if these geniuses kept on doing manual work indefinitely, But anyone, what- | ever his occupation, is benefited by having had some experience of these plain and practical tasks. In | that way one gains a far better conception of hu- | OVERDOING EXERCISE Dr. Wharton, head of the health and education | SIO OaL, department of the University of Pennsylvania, | thinks there is a danger of overdoing physical exer- | cise. “Many students, he thinks, afé hurt by too | much athletic work in preparatory; aphools. i People need regular physical exercise, but it,| « should not become a dull grind.

Darnall It is proposed to distribute 7,360 i gallons of ale to the stockholders of a defunct Jersey City brewing ggmpany But Attorney General’ gent objects to such disposition of the company’s “liquid assets” on the ground that it would violate the prohibition law. What is a-little finger worth? Alexander Stock of New York, who had one mashed off by the door of | a taxi-cab, is suing the company for $100,000. But he’s a concert pianist and the loss has ruined his playing. A new commission of experts is called the “National Commission on Economy and Efficiency of the Business Administration .of: School Systems.” It didn’t economize in the use of words in naming itself. Alfred Bushnell Hart, famed professor at Harvard, has resigned at the age of 71” To retire? Not at all; he merély quit teaching in order to devote all his time to lit- erary work. Japanese of the cultured classes are becoming resentful over being treated as heathen by our mission- aries. Vice-President Zumoto of the World Press. Congress , told visiting American Rotarians” in Tokyo that “attempts , to, thrust Christianity upon us can not fail but breed discord, ill-feeling .and strife.” Aisotheen' sign of spring is the renewal of war on French and Spanish in Morocco by Abd el Krim:: In his first: attack he burn- ed three villages which Had de- serted to the enemy, and-captured a number of Frenchmen, who were mutilated according to the: Riff custom. Referendums seem to be popular in Germany. Recently a prelimin- ary referendum was’ called to de- cide whether a final referendum, should be held on the question of confiscating property of the former nobility. You can now buy about 28 franés’ for a. dollar, as com with fivé for a dollar before the war. What would the frane have been worth today if France had lost the war? 4 Pe Among articles recently offered for sale by the Russian So: | ever obtained by spending money. 2/45 +1 stedenmedt Gene’ 120 ‘corsets merly worn by ladies of the late czar’s court.
