Patient Under Trials

The discomfitures of the last week tested the composure and patience of the community. The oldest resident cannot recall a period when so

manv unfavorable conditions conspired at the

same time to interrupt the even tenor of our community life. But the citizens accepted every adverse exigency with patience and composure. There was little grumbling and howling against the acts of providence.

The test of a man's character is his fortitude in storm and stress. So also with a city. The test of our community character is the mental

attitude which we assume when weather con

ditions are extremely bad. when the street car

service is poor, the fuel supply short, and our dailv routine is interrupted by conditions over

which we have no control. If the community as a whole accepts the in

terruptions of its life with a smile and resolutely endures them, it deserves to be commended for

its attitdue. Richmond has had trials in the last week that are extraordinary for our sedate and easygoing city. But its citizens have smiled and grinned, believing that the problem will right itself and that normal conditions will soon prevail. This manifestation of civic backbone is worthy of praise. Some citizens have not taken to heart the proclamations the city authorities and the fuel administration. Drastic steps will be taken to teach them that this is a dangerous time to play with restrictions pertaining to the welfare of the whole community. Any citizen, business man or resident, who does not comply with the light reflations will be dealt with summarily. The superintendent of the light plant will turn off the current and it will not be restored until the crisis is over. The punishment is light in contrast with the offense.

Conservation of Fuel Economy has been a foreign word in our national vocabulary. Few of us knew its meaning, and few of us translated it into action. Prodigality and wastefulness was our watchword and

we proved loyal to their meaning.

The war soon taueht us food economy and

conservation Now it is teaching use fuel economy. We predicted long ago that the American people would not learn the awful meaning of extravagance and waste until dire need stared them in the face. That time is here now. Coal was wasted because we believed there was plenty of it. It will be abundant no longer until this war is a matter of history. It is our duty to conserve what we have. It is clearly up to the domestic consumer to economize where formerly we wasted. The "Tag-Your-Shovel" movement is a step in this direction. It will teach us wholesome lessons. Thomas R. Shipp in the World's Work adduces the following facts that should set us to thinking: If every housekeeper in the country woujd save one small shovelful of coal each day, at the end of the year the saving would amount to 15,000,000 tons. If every housekeeper during the six winter months would save one furnace shovelful of coal a day, it would amount to 25,000,000 tons of coal. These savings combined would amount to 40 million tons, which would almost wipe out the national shortage of 50 million tons. The Fuel Administration offers practical in

structions for the economical use of coal in stoves and furnaces. Oil stoves and fjreless cookers are recommended as coal savers. ' No one will deny that our homes are overheated rather than underheated. Physicians have said with emphasis that 72 degrees Fahrenheit is the right temperature in our homes when we are reading, sewing or engaged in sedentary occupations, and 68 degrees is sufficiently warm if we are moving about. . .

We throw many pounds of coal away because

we do not screen our ashes carefully.- -Unconsum-ed coal that still has heat units in it should be sifted carefully out of the ashes and thrown Iback

into the fire pot. . -

If hitherto you have believed that the "Tag-Your-Shovel" is a fad, study fuel conservation to

convince yourself of the error.

Conquest and Kultur

"You can not talk and sing about an invincible Watch on the Rhine as long as the Dutch and the Swiss do not sing the same tune." Bley. Die alldeutsche Bewegung und die Niederlaride, 1897.

"We may then leave ' it to Switzerland to

choose whether she shall enter the German cus

toms union and the Pan-German confederation, bringing all her cantons or only the German ones with her, or whether she shall form part of the

German Empire on equal terms , as a Federal

State." Grossdeutschland um das Jahr 1950

(1893), 1895.

To speak quite frankly: Austria will assent finally to that shifting of the weight of gravity which took place in 1866. She will renounce all future claim to be the chief ruling power iiv Central Europe, as she was in her ancient days of splendor. There is no formal dependence involved, no curtailing of sovereignty, no giving up of inherited power, but all the same there will be an actual knowledgment of the existing position of forces." Naumann, Central Europe, 1916.

Don't Be Content

From Forbes Magazine.

ONTENTMENT is the curse of the mediocre. The

man who wants nothing sets, exactly what he wants nothing.

When he ceases to covet the impossible and unattainable, be stands on the brink of senility and decay. His end will be mental and moral paralysis. The only preventive of retrogression is progression. Paschal once said: "We can escape a fall only by continually climbing."

In some sense, every man's greatness may be measured by the size of his wants. It is said of Herschel, the great astronomer, that when he was a child he used to cry for the moon. And his biographer adds that "when he became a man he got it, with the sun and stars thrown in." And that was because he never ceased to cry for the moon. Promotion comes only to the man who despises the monotony of the dead level. When you are satisfied with your place, the world will be perfectly satisfied to leave you in that place. - All human progress follows in the wake of human wants. When man became dissatisfied with his tent, he built a house. When he grew tired of the ox-team, he constructed a railroadWhen the mails were too slow for communication, he invented the telegraph.

Every continent placed on the map is the discovery

of some Columbus who coveted the impossible. Listen to Browning: "A man's reach should escape his grasp, Or what's Heaven for? This little man sees a little thing to do, Sees It and does it; This high man with a great thing to pursue Dies ere be knows it"

The finest epitaph in the world is written over the grave of Schubert, the great composer: "He gave much

but he promised more."

The world has pjenty of men who are content with

small possessions, small duties, small profits. They are nerveless, lazy, spineless, sluggish mortals whose only

interest centers in the blowing of the whistle.

The men who do the really great things of life are the men who are filled with a deathless yearning for the

unattainable. Cultivate a holy discontent

Moment

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS The kings don't flgbt like they used to. Tuey go around opening charitable bazaars And visiting hospitals and reviewing units. In the old day. the king got up and Looked out of the window, and if there wasn't Any war going on he would 6tart one. He would ride at the head of troops, And they called him William the Silent Or Henry the Heciic, or something like that. In bis armor William tbe.Silent weighed a ton. And with his hoKe about three tons, He charged across the field at the , Neck-breaking gait of six miles an ' hour. And when he clashed with the enemy King, the two mada a noise like The breaking up of t. hard winter. When William fell off his horse He sounded like a tin peddler's wagon Hit by a street car. and still They called him William the Silent. Thew yas the funny days. Since the high price of food . has been in vogue and the cafes are cold from lack of fuel, a good many New York millionaires have been going,

home and getting their families.

The fellow who invented that nowfamous alibi, "On account of the war," invented somethins that takes the place of charity in covering a multitude of skins. As our old friend Aaron Hoffman says: The treasury is going to print a new issue of one-dollar bflls. What's the use? Before they are printed we know just who is going to get them. As soon as he hears about it, John D. will lay aside his golf sticks, get in his automobile, go down to bis office for live or ten minutes, and when he comes out,-the whole Issue-will be absorbed. A conjurer says he can make an elephant vanish. Somebody did it during the last presidential electicn, too. Was it The Colonel, that famous old conjurer? Old stuff, old stuff. Now we can say,- with a perfectly clear conscience, that we are not hoarding food of any sort. ' The weather' bureau predicts another cold snap. . Where do they. get that stuff? - It may be cold, but it wUl be no snap. . Rice throwing at weddings has been forbidden. And it is a cinch nobody

will throw old shoes. Everybody wearing them now. Isn't it true?

We have a hunch that we are never going to learn to love the kaiser. Love has to come naturally. It can't be forced upon us.

The many woman, or child who saves and invests in War-Savings and Thrift Stamps is building for a peace time when capital will be needed and highly rewarded.

Stories

A bellhop passed through the hall, whistling loudly. i "Young man," said the manager, "you should know that it is against the rules for an employee to whistle while on duty." "I am not whistling sir,"" replied the boy, "I'm paging Mrs. John's dog." Little Mildred came. home from a day's visit in the, home of little Harriet. ' "She was awfully rude to me, mama," said Mildred.1 'She talked cross to me and she wouldn't let me play with her dolls, and she. told me her father was richer than mine, and everything.". "Why didn't you come home?" asked the mother. "That's what I should have done if a playmate had treated me that way when I was a little girl." "Maybe thafs what you would have done, mama," Mildred replied. "But times have changed since you were a little girl. . When Harriett acted mean I just slapped her face and stayed."

The - schoolmaster was giving the boys a lecture on thrift and pointed out how squirrels stored up nuts for the winter.- Then he asked for another illustration of thrift in animals and one boy cried out: "A dog!" "A dog! -in what way does a dog practice economy?" "Please, sir, when he runs, after his tail he makes both ends meet." The master laughed and another boy said: "A bear." "Well, what does the bear do?" "He makes one coat last him a lifetime."
