To Keep Friendships | “in Consiant Repair” Death and .;msene_-e are not the only ways of losing friends. We grow away froin people, and often this is sadder than going away from tlieni. There are friends who pass and friends who remain. . Few eome with us all the way, Marie Stuart comments sadly in the Continental IXdition of the lLondon Daily Mail. With some we travel to the crossroad, and. then, whether the farewell be conscious or unconscious, we turn in different directions. 'fFhis-does not prove disloyalty or failure on :either ~ide. We and they are in the grip of different tendencies, circunistances, socigal and spiritual laws. ‘lhe currents of destiny bear us east and west. . "We outgrow friendships as we outgrow clothes Doctor Johnson said: “If a nan does not . Immake new acquaintances as he udf\‘;i‘u‘«-eé ‘through life he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendships in eonstant repair.” If oe or two have grown with us and the yvears have welded us we are bhiessed indeed. “If we find but ‘one to whom we can speak ount our heart frecly, with whom we can walk in love and simplicity, without dissimulation, we have no ;_rmu‘nd'nf quarrel with the world or God.” One such friepd in a lifetime, to journey with us all the way-—what a treasure beyond compare ! :

I think that friendship between man and woman can only Jast when each brings to it fine qualities of mind and of heart. JFriendship which i§ a mere cover for flirtatien or an avenue providing a convenient approach to a proposal is only a pretense. L Men do not always want to make love to women. Many a man honestly wants a woman comrade— somemfl; to talk to—someone, also, with. a more understanding ear, and with more patience, than his brother man. And what 'a Inxury it is to be ourselves, quite naturally, with just one human heing! - ; :

I love the schoolboy definition of a friend—*“one who knows all about you, and likes you jusfi the same.” Ty be admitted to the friendship ot a man or woman of true_ culture, largeness of vision and kindliness:is the greatest privilege on earth. ¢ Radio in Japan' In Japan the outlook for the radlo in the citles is not bright. The situation in the smaller towns is more promising. The pinch of depression is being felt by radio dealers and importers. Not a few have failed in the last two or three months. Most of these concerns were profiteering: in the earlier days, and instead of proceeding conservatively, they speculated. Of the more than 2,000 dealers in radio receiving sets and accessories in Japan 50 per ecent are in Tokyo, Import houses number about thirty. Japa-nese-made radio outfits are numerous, but those imported from Anierica predominate. In Tokyo, it is estimated, there are at least 65,000 listeners-in. The Tokyo broadcast station deelares that only about 50,000 haveiregistered and pay flees. . : Turning Day Into Night It might be supposed that a forest fire would turn night into ylay by its hiuge illumination, but such a fire produces so much smoke that’ the opposite is the effect over very large areas. A recent big forest fire :near Lake Huron was estimated to cost shipping companies $50,000 by reason of their vessels losing so much time in the dense blackness. At Portland, Ore., some years ago, all lights had to be on day and night for a week, although it was midsummer, as the sun was:completely blotted out with acrid and dense smoke. Even navigation thousands of miles out at sea has been -seriously interfered with by the black masses of smoke that have been blown from a fire ranging over many square miles of forest on the mainland.

Finding Ambergris

Tramping over Nantucket with his .dog, Edward Davis skirted the shore. Wedged between two rocks,- washed now and then by the waves, was a sticky, waxy mass. Mr. Davis did not ‘pay much attention to it, but the hunt- ' ing dog knew his business and persisted -in calling his attention to it. Mr. Davis scraped the substance together and took it home. He later brought it to New Bedford and submitted it to Capt. Benjamin D. Cleveland, a retired whaling' master, whe pronounced it ambergris. If.so, the hunting trip nets Mr. Davis $1,792.— New York World. £ o : Work on Traffic Problem In an effort to solve the congested traffic problem, the Paris police are planning a laboratery street. This novel idea was suggested by M. Roeland, a city councillor, and M. Marain, prefect of police, is heartily in accord with the experiment. The laboratory street will provide all sorts of tests for motor traffic to determine the cause of accidents. Various surface materials and safety devices will be tested, as well &s mistakes in driving and the most efficient contro] of traffic. s e e ;o - Registered L There had beeu a large porch’ party and the guests book ' was passed around for signatures.

LOKING OUT ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASES idany, Thought New, Really , Are Centuries Old. . *“Why, it’s just a bundle of quotations.” So, rather disgustedly, a man, who had just seen “Hamlet” for the tirst time, summed up the play. Other people, a little better informed, may murmur “Shakespeare” when a wise old suw is quoted. DBut there are many proverbs and phrases that are ot so easily tracked down. Sometimes it has never occurred to us to wonder about their origin; sometiines we think we know who said or wrote them first, and are quite wrong. ~ One of the best examples of ‘this is the great phrase, “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” In the minds of many people it is identified with Lord Randolph Churchill. and the Primrose league. Others, better informed, know that Lincoln used it at Gettysburg in 1863, and that it became a rallying cry for the North during the Civil war. Seventy years before Lincoln spoke dl Gettysburg, however, almost the same phrase had been used by Robespierre. And over four hundred years before that John Wyeclif wrote in his preface to the first English transl:ition of the Bible: “The Bible is for ‘the governmen‘fnof the people, by the people, and for the people.” Then thiere is the phruse inscribed on Keats' tombstone in 'Rome: *“Here lies one whose name was writ in water.” . Most people think that -the phrase is Keats’' own, but it is really part of an old Arab proverb. : The more we go into this question of the origin of famous phrases and sayings the more fascinating we find it. And we get sone amazing results. The ancients, we discover, were at times almost disconcertingly modern. - Who was it who first said.“ You have the ball at your feét”? This metaphor wlhich conjures up a vision of the football field, is far older than football. Tacitus tells us that Agricola used these words in a Speech to his soldiers before a battle with the Caledonians. The great Latin historian also reports a speech made by one of the Caledonian chiefs to his soldiers. In this ‘occurs another- very: familiar phrase: “Where they make a desert they call it peace.” “The terrors of the unknown loom' large,” is another proverb we find in the “Agricola” of

Tacitus, and in the “Germania” he talks of “Combining peace with honor.” Many a fine phrase, now so worn by usage that it is.regarded as ‘“hackneyed” is to be found in Chaucer. “He was as fresh as is the month of May”. occurs in the prologue to the “Canterbury’ Tales;” “To maken vertu of ‘necessitee,” and “The god of love, a benedicite, how mighty and how greet a lord is he!” in “The Knight's Tale.” “Brown as a berry” and “Proud as a peacock” are two everyday similes we get from the same source. Who was it that first coined the expressive phrase, “stark, staring mad”? It occurs in Rabelais’ “Gargantua and Pantagruel,” where it is coupled with “at his wit’s end,” but it Is possible that it has been used by some earlier writer. The worst of tracking down quotations is that there is ‘usually l someone else who can go still further .back than you can. “Short and sweet,” and “as plain!as a nose in a man’s face,” are also to be found in Rabelais. - The Climber Prince Urey (George) 'l'roubetzkoy s said in an Interview in New York: - “In Europe they like to lkeep a man i in his place, while over here you like to see a man rise—foundling to errand | boy, errand boy te manager, manager i to millionaire and so forth. “But in Europe! An Lnglish war veteran came. from a war veterans’ reunion the othier night and said to his wife with a sneer: “‘I believe in push and ambition and all that there, but when Sergeant l Todd with his peg leg takes to carryl in’ a cane instead of a crutch—well, it looks fo me as if he wgs tryin’ to climb out of the station what divine providence sunk him into.)" i : Sl B Ee g i Highly Humorous “I seed a ‘funny thing whilst I ‘was in town yiste'd’y,” at the crossroads store, related Tobe Sagg of Sandy Mush. “A young feller with three gals in his car driv’ towards the railroad crossing.
