Tedious Pastime Posing for a Banquet Flashlight

Help Bring Prosperity

. At Lynn, Massachusetts, the General Elec

tric company has started a comprehensive cam

paign of repairing all its property, even its

fences, in order to make work for employees who are out of work. ' . Few industrial companies are justified under present conditions in operating their plants at capacity. ... Markets for raw materials and finished products are in a too unstable state to warrant such procedure. A mistake under existing depressed conditions is too apt to result in bankruptcy. It is no mistake, however, for industrial concerns to take advantage of the present lull to repair their plants or make necessary alterations. That is foresight and good business judgment. Later on when prosperity returns and all plants are busy, labor and materials for repairs, alterations and additions will be at a premium. The same argument holds good for store buildings and private dwellings. Now is the time for everyone, who can actually afford the expense, to undertake such work. Have the porch furniture painted indoors this winter instead of waiting until spring. See if the cellar woodwork couldn't stand a coat or two of paint. Redecorate that room now that you have planned to later. Let necessary repairs be made during this season instead of next summer. And so on through the list of possibilities. Every dollar spent at this time for such work

One Reason for National DecayRussia and Turkey afford modern instances of the decay of both state and religion where the two are joined and the ruler in the state is also the head of the state religion. In Russia the czar was head of the Russian church. In Turkey the sultan was head of the Mohammedan religion. Today both of those empires have been reduced to chaos. In one the ruler was assassinated, the monarchist system of government abolished and all worship practically prohibited. In the other, imperial area has shrunk to the size of a fifth-rate country. The sultan is maintained solely by the poweof the Christian nations, such as Great Britain and France, because of the sentimental effect on the numerous fanatical members of the Mohammedan religion in their colonial possessions, as India, Egypt, Algeria and Morocco.

Like ruin befell ancient empires and their state religions. Always both perished in com

mon disaster. . Zoroastnanism went to pieces as the Persian , empire disintegrated. Gods and

goddesses, worshipped for ages, passed kito oblivion when the Egyptian and Greek empires were overthrown. The reason is plain. When the ruler of a nation became head of a state religion he used his religious powers to promote his political interests. When the head of a church became ruler of a country and joined state and religion, he used his political powers to better the fortunes of his church. And vice versa in both instances. Then the spirit went out of , religion and the people, and decadence set in.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" , ODDS There is something most unusually fine about the man who asks odds of no one not even himself. Independence is more than an ability it's an art! Real successes are started at "scratch." The winner says "Odds I want none given me. And as far as there being any odds for or against me, I shall see that they are all turned In my favor. I'll become a dealer in odds!" The loser blames his odds, saying that they were pitted against him before even he started. It may be raining today but tomorrow the sun will have dried away the memory of rain's darkness and gloom and have nothing but smiles of freshness to offer as an excuse for the past. Success obliterates much of failure. Just the same as joy evaporates sorrow from our hearts. But we hold as a divin heritage our experiences. How are we able to understand the feelings of a hungry man unless we, too, tiave once wanted for food? Unless we have been down from stumbling, how are we going to reach and help him up who Is now down? Character is made by dealing with the odds of time and circumstance. And the strong man i3 he who juggles his odds with the skill of one who knows his own failings as well as his good points. So it is well not to forget that you are mostly as other people, and that you are big and useful only as you go ahead asking no odds of anybody or anything not even yourself! Columbus, sailing into uncharted seas, gave but one command: "Sail on and -on and on!" Odds? They were all against him, apparently.

Ten Richmond men were to be candidates for position as first-grade clerk at the civil service examination to be "held Feb. 3, according to announcement given out by L. A. Handley, local secretary of the civil service commission. This number of applicants was unusually large for Richmond.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason

MY BEAUTIFUL AUNT Aunt Julia was a beauty, men said, in bygone days, and flatterers galooty were throwing her bouquets. They said that she was queenly, the fairest of heT sex; when she went by serenely the other girls seemed wrecks. Wherever Julia trotted the nosegays came her way, and flatterers besotted were praising her all day. The poet wrote his sonnet, all burdened by his wreath, about her boots and bonnet, her eyeballs and her teeth. And so she grew up feeling she was divinely fair; she would not mop the ceiling or clean the cellar stair. And she was high and haughty, she would not toil or spin, or with a swater swatty hit flies upon the chin. Conceited and disdainful, she scorned the household law, and left impressions painful upon her Pa and Ma. She turned down many suitors, her townsmen, good and true, corn doctors, clerks and tutors, and taxidermists, too. Some prince would come and wed her, she figured, in her pride; long, long such visions fed her, and warmed her up inside. Alas, there

came no princes, and she'd be glad to wed the clerks and other quinces who loved in years long dead. She finds old age so dreary that all its moments hurt, and she is sick and weary, a disillusioned skirt My other aunts are dingers, they were not spoiled with praise, and as they turn their wringers they carol joyful lays.
