Mankind is prone to exaggerate the trials and tribulations under which it is sufferings as is if they were something hew in the history of race and were much greater than those which others have endured. - Sdme feel discouraged in the present period of depression, believing that it .is the worst the country ever has experienced. '. If your are r gloomy about conditions here, why not look toward Poland and Central Europe?, Are we not infinitely better off than the millions who are out of work and have been starving "-for many months? Does grim misery stalk through our land as it does in those war devas- ; tated countries ? Isn't the average American far removed from the pitiful status of the average citizen of those lands? : By comparison with other countries of the 5 world, we have reason to be devoutly thankful, f We have food in abundance. Many European countries have no supplies and are dependent

upon imports from more favorably situated, nations. The breakdown of transportation prevents the delivery of foodstuffs to interior points, where thousands are starving to death. We might profit mightily when next we are complaining about our plight to consider the suffering of other people. Then we will be forced to admit that we are still in a blessed land. Usually thereyfs some one who is worse off than we are. Usually the man who complains is the one who is least in need of sympathy and help.

Courtesy One of our readers in a letter complains of

the scant attention which boys and girls on roller skates pay to pedestrians. She says boys and

girls monopolize the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to use the parking strip to avoid being run down or bumped. Few boys and girls would willingly and purposely force a pedestrian to get off the sidewalk to prevent an accident. They are thoughtless and so full of life that often they, overlook the rights of others! The complaint, however, should be heeded by the boys and girls who enjoy roller skating on the sidewalks. It is unfair and impolite to crowd a pedestrian off the sidewalk. Courtesy suggests that skaters coast by pedestrians, instead of skating by with arms and legs swinging so wildly that an aged peron or a woman leading a little child must seek safety on the parking strip.

When a Feller Needs a Friend

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of -Siion City, 111., is horrified because he has seen women powdering their , noses in trains and street cars, end ; even In the local tabernacle. iiVd i lather Eee a shiny face than a woiidly powder puff. ; We also object to it, hut not for the ieason given by Wilbur. When we got home, after a trip on the street .car, it is embarrassing to find several white spots on the overcoat where T rosea have been unpowdered. Of course, no lady would do such a thing intentionally, but, on account of the , crowds, it is being done right along. Two women police have been ap- ." pointed to chase the kissers at Freeport, Li. T. And 'they are both married. It's no job for a single jgirl. A man who has a wife doesn't have " to go around looking for investments. They Just seem to come to him. It looks as. though real painless dentistry and real prohibition" will arrive at about the same time. The champ brigand held up a victim, got $15 and demanded $1.50 or "10 per cent additional for war tax. ' They are wearing dove-hued hosiery at Atlantic City. That is, the girls are wearing. Maybe the men 'are. too, but nobody has noticed. T We will say this for Mr. Harding. "According to the pictures from Palm Bach, he is developing a great stance. John D.'s income for 1918 has just been computed at $33,000,000, and "we'll bet he didn't have any more fun than we did on our own paltry $3,000,000. They are beginning to call the Chicago Opera Company "Mary's Garden."

Nation Faces Prosperity, Say Experts

That the readjustment period ia nearly over and the United States is

facing an era of real prosperity, is the opinion of many leaders in the buai ness and financial world.

"The most trying stage of the readjustment period undoubtedly has been

passed," Gov. W. G. P. Harding of the federal reserve board recently declared. "The situation today la intrinsically sounder than a year ago. Then

it was foreseen that the developments which have occurred

were impending, and there was much apprehension as to the results. Then the future was regarded with uneasiness

and trepidation. "Today the worst has been passed, equilibrium has been restored, and we are warranted in looking to the future with courage and confidence." Says Charles Sabin, president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York: "Those who are most closely studying the existing situation feel that the turn of the tide in declining prices and liquidation is very near. Fortunately for this country, its underlying conditions, for the -most part, are sound. Our large gold reserve, our sound financial situation, our tremendous crops, our national wealth and accumulated

Gov. W. G. P. surplus, our improved transportation and industrial condiHarding tion, our foreign markets and our great natural resources all underlie the business situation and give promise of a prosperity and progress greater than any enjoyed in the past." The opinions of these experts has been backed up by E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, who recently declared: "Anyone who believes for a moment that the United States is a bad country to live in or that its Inhabitants have reason to complain of present conditions should make comparisons between people of this country and those of any other country in the world, for then he must decide that if any of the others can survive we can prosper. Not because we are selfish or greedy or would take undue advantage, but because in spite of ourselves we have been blessed with the greatest opportunity for success of all the nations in the world. A real pessimist of today, if there is one, overlooks the facts and figures which make for or against economic success."

GEORGE B. CORTELYOU George Bruce Cortelyou is one of the persons who knows that while a cabinet appointment is a signal honor it means hard work for the appointee if he is to fulfill the trust placed in him. For Cortelyou tBHaaMMaai has filled three cab-

!net positions. His aieer is interesting. Whenever Cortelvou, now the president of the Consoliialed Ga3 company, wishes to make a rapid note of anything, he does not have to call a stenographer. A few quick passes on a nr.d and all is over. It ha3 been a long time now since he was one of the best verbatim shorthand

reporters in the United States, but he keeps up wonderfully with the younger members of the craft. As one ot the high speed court scribes, he went to Washington frequently, and there he met the late Col. William McKinley, who, when he became president, made him secretary and executive clerk. The rise of Mr. Cortelyou from that period was rapid. He was i-eappointed secretary by President Roosevelt and then got into the cabinet successively as postmaster general, secretary of com-

NEW GIANT "SEA SERPENT" PUZZLING. SCENTISTS

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can". "Take It". "Up". ON BEING LONELY This wouldn't be much of a world if every one of us didn't keep craving more than what we are. The rich man realizes with his great wealth that he has gained his goal, but missed the thrill which he expected would satisfy him. For, if anything, money makes a man more Isolated and lonely than ever he was in poverty and struggle. I shall never forget the look upon President Wilson's face as I heard him say, in one of his speeches, "the greatest achievements are those which come from the heart." The simply dressed toiler, going home to his frugal meal, tired inside and out, goes to a happier bed than he himself dares to realize. Loneliness is an affair of the heart. It is experienced by everybody, no matter what the station in life. But behind the meaning of It all Is the desire for something better for something or somebody to come along and fill up the lack. So often do we get wrenched from our moorings. And walking out Into the open world, -we see simply crowds of people, busy upon their own intents. It is at such times that the black clouds of loneliness enwrap us. But just as likely as not somebody unexpectedly feels it and separates himself from the throng and rushes to our sides. Only to have proven afresh that humanity is a network and that we are all threads In its web. Perhaps the one who came out to greet us was lonely! At any rate, there is kinship in the exchange of feeling, and happiness in giving away the spirit that we want to come to us. Maybe the hours of loneliness which we so often pass are, after all, but significant of the possibilities latent in our frames which, when developed, mean strength and power. It is said that Washington, during one of the most distressing moments of the Revolutionary war, withdrew from hi3 soldiers to a quiet spot and prayed!

THE HARDEST TEST. I try to bear life's many ills with fortitude and grit; if I am pale around the gills, the fact I won't, admit. I still attempt to smile and sing when burdened down by care; the smile may be a ghastly thing, but. still you'll find it there. I've smiled when joints seemed all afire with fierce rheumatic pain; I've smiled when I must, change a tire in darkness, mud and rain. I've

fmiled when agents sold mc stock in mines that didn't pay, and when I

slid around a bloc k, upon a slippy j

day. I've smiled beneath misfortune a whacks, and raised no doleful din; but when I pay my income tax, I don't attempt a grin. There is a time to preach and dance, as wise apostles say, and there's a time to whoop and prance, and chortle and be gay; but he is in discretion lax, or else he's full of guile, who ponies up his income tax, and wears a cheer-up smile. His smile may reach from ear to ear, it even may be twins, but none can feel he is sincere, that he means what he grins. "There's some fell purpose in his mirth," beholders will agree;

"for no white man upon the earth can pay this tax with glee. The coin we toiled so hard to get, in pain defying words, our Uncle Samuel will get and throw it to the birds. And so no man of purpose high, no man who earns the bones, can pay that tax without a brace of groans."
