Just outside my window I can hear a slight clicking every time the memMeter beis of my houseYour Time hold turn on the taps in their kitchens. That clicking reminds me constantly that water is expensive down here in this seaside cottage where I am spending a month. By and by, when I close the cottage a man with a key will i come along, unlock a meter and; take its reading. Then just before I am leaving . he will hand me a slip of paper which will inform me what I owe j him. These boys on the Maine coast: are careful, as they should be. I that no summer dweller gets away without' making matters square I with that meter. One becomes acutely aware of the necessity for economy as the little counting device in the meter clocks off the pints, quarts, gal-I k»ns and barrels that the families ‘ around here use. And as the little machines click out their information I become. impressed with the fact that time has a value of which I have been thinking too lightly. Why would it not be a good plan to meter one's time in the same way? • • • ■ • If every minute, every hour clicked its message in my ears, «O that I would know just how much time I am using and just how much I am allowing to go to waste, it might be a good thing for my bank account—such as it is—and prompt me to put a check on the needless escape of the one thing with which we are all endowed while we live, namely, time. When one learns to budget that time to devote a part of it to work and a part of it to play, he is, or ought to be on the way to an intelligent control of life—which, as far as you and I are concerned, is Caution and Courage <X)URAGE is not a muscular A* but a moral virtue A form of courage is to withstand public opinion . . . Some men in these matters are always on the unpopular side, always in opposition to popular prejudices; not from crotches or perversity, but because they see beyond their day, or discern dangers not as yet perceived, or have inherited truth of which others have been robbed. — Cardinal Manning. A great mind is a generous one.

the time alloted to us from our birth on to our disappearance from the planet. It would help almost everybody to note now and then how the years are passing, what we are doing with them, and what we arts getting out of them as they come and go. • • • As the poet observes of the minutes, “we cannot strive to grasp them all,” but we can grasp and i hold many more than we do if we i remember that every click of that ; meter means a second used or I lost forever. What our time allowance is we j shall have no means of knowing. ' But we can if we are careful i i get more out of existence as it ; passes than we usually do. So, when you hear that meter i spinning in the cellar, or the block ticking on the wall, you will realize that your life is being slowly measured out to you. Keep as careful track of it as I you are able to. Get as much out of every working hour—and every playing hour as it is possible, and when it is all over you will know that you have made the best possible use of a life which you might, by heedlessness, have wantonly squandered. Right Leg Proved to Be the Wrong One One day a customer asked an enterprising tailor if he had any , troupers made especially for onemen: Wrtainly,” replied the tailor. "Dress trousers?” "Yes, the best you’ve got." Hurrying into the rear of the store, the tailor snatched up a pair of trousers and snipped off a leg, and presented them to the customer. "That’s the sort of thing I want. What’s the price?” "Eight dollars, sir. The price is very reasonable.’* “Well, give me a pair with the left leg off." Venetian Life On returning from Venice, where he had been consul for four years, William Dean Howells met a Boston publisher, with whom he frequently played shuffleboard or strolled the liner’s decks. One day Howells remarked that he was bringing over .a manuscript on Venetian life. Jokingly the publisher remarked that his firm would bring it out. Without a moment’s hesitation the i manuscript was turned over to him. . . It was published in 1866 under the title of “Venetian Life.” It may well be said that this was the start of Howells’ successful literary career.

BRISBANE

THIS WEEK Spenders of Yesteryear Gone With Their Billions Paris Hotels Empty England Learns Also Europe learns that political experiments cost money. England de-

cided to prevent Mussolini taking Ethiopia, camping along the imperial British highway, and controlling Lake Tana, source of Nile water. The attempt failed. England backed out of that situation, hastily, after her war department had assured our socalled war department in

L* ' Arthnr Brinbaaa

Washington that Mussolini could not possibly conquer Ethiopia in less than three years, probably not at all. When the dust had settled and England, with her chicken-feed assortment of 51 league nations, had apologized to Mussolini and tossed Haile Selassie into the waste-bas-ket, England found her foreign commerce much damaged. She had missed Mussolini, and shot herself in the pocketbook. For a little while she will copy Job: "I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. Once I have spokaa . . . yea twice, but I will proceed no further.” Paris, which is France, decided to sing and dance a new carmagnole with Russian dressing} clenched fists raised in air a la Russe; red flag waving; the doleful strains of the Communist hymn, I’lnternationale, and its Communist injunction, "Arise, ye prisoners of starvation,” excellently sung from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Bastille. You can hardly imagine what fire, fury and enthusiasm thousands of young and old French gentlemen put into that hymn, although mhny of them showed few outward signs of starvation. There were, and are, manifestations everywhere. Now in the chamber of deputies. Monsieur Gaston Gerard, practical French statesman, asks, "What has become of our foreign tourists and their spending money?” M. Gerard tells the deputies something must be done. In 1927, 2,125,000 foreigners from all over the world visited France, spending much money. Visitors now number only 700,000; as a rule with little money to spend—oysters containing no pearl; many that come to help sing I’lnternationale bring no money. Foreign visitors, says M. Gerard, used to "gTve highly paid employment to hals'-a million French men and women; spent 500,000,000 francs for French railroad and steamship tickets; scattered throughout France from 12 to 15 thousand millions of francs. Fifteen billions, even in francs, are "real money” here. M. Gerard tells the chamber French prices are too high. There is something in that, with the four-cent franc costing six to seven cents in the United States—a comic-opera situation, considering the relative wealth of the two nations. M. Gerard thinks there should be some cabinet official to look after foreigners, with better propaganda and fewer vexatious taxes on foreigners; there is nothing in that. Foreigners do not voluntarily travel and spend money where they feel they are not wanted. The cosmopolitan, educated Frenchman is as polite and hospitable as ever, but ask him what sort of reception the crowd gives to the foreigner, British especially. It offends the British ear to hear A bas les Anglis!—"Down with the British!” An innocent American, in an innocent average American automobile, sallied forth on July 14 to help France celebrate the destruction of the Bastille, and perhaps give a few feeble cheers for Lafayette, or Woodrow Wilson, or somebody. Great crowd in the Champs Elysees, especially around the innocent American car, with new paint, shiny chromium and several cylinders. A polite policeman says monsieur should know better than to appear in a car of "grand luxury” on such a day. Such luxury cars you may see by the thousands and millions on American roads. Nothing happens to the car of grand luxury; it crosses the Avenue of’the Champs Elysees, about 300 feet, in less than twenty minutes. The French, newly self-iden-tified as "prisoners of starvation,” are interested in the auto American, which is careful not to bump anybody. The bourgeois, the “rich,” an extinct species, although it does not yet know it, are nervous. In a vague way they feel that they are held responsible for all those "prisoners of starvation,” with their strong voices, deep chests, powerful fists and pink complexions. • Kin* Feat urve Syndicate. inc.

OLD IDEAS ABOUT LIGHT AND SEEING ARE DISPROVED Scientific researca has exploded and outmoded many ideas about eyes and seeing, which are important in our everyday lives. For example, seeing is not done with the eyes alone. Seeing is a partnership between our eyes and light. Be the light ever so bright — we cannot see without eyes. And though our eyes may be perfect, we cannot see without light. And, contrary to general opinion, some eyes require more light than others. Children and old people need more light than average adults to prevent eyestrain. The light that is good enough for one task is not necessarily good enough for a’nother. Sewing and studying require more light than reading a well-printed novel. One bright light for your reading or work is not enough. Light must be diffused about the room so that sharp contrasts between light and shadow do not cause the eyes to adjust themselves repeatedly, resulting in eyestrain. The eyesight of the average is not exceptionally good. Here are the facts: One school child in every five, forty college students in a hundred, and seventy - five of every hundred persons over fifty years of age have defective vision. Science also says, homes with electricity are npt necessarily well lighted, neither are homes without electricity necessarily lighted poorly. The lighting in many homes with electricity can be improved by increasing the sizes of bulbs, diffusing the light and fitting lamps with lightcolored shades. For homes without electricity, there are modern gasoline and kerosene pressure mantle lamps that supply light which is the nearest like daylight of any artificial light Let Yourself Go!

He lets go, rests every nerve and muscle, builds up his strength for the next run. Take a tip from your dog and let go! In these high tension days it is vitally important to learn to relax. A prominent efficiency expert taught that we should use our "moments of unavoidable delay” to relax and store up energy for out work.—Arcadia Journal.

Friendship and mirth. Henry Van Dyke. Famous Mutiny The most famous mutiny in maritime history broke out in 1797. Mutineers led by Fletcher Christian rebelled against the discipline of Lieutenant William Blight and set the commander and 18 men adrift in a small boat in which they made a remarkable voyage of safety. The Hollywood movie version makes it appear Blight’s official cruelty was extraordinary in the British navy and that the mutiny caused whipping of sailo.s to be ended. It wasn’t extraordinary, and sailors continued to be lashed for another 100 years. It wasn’t Blight’s cruelty, but the regret of the men at leaving their paradise in Tahiti, that caused the mutiny. The average age of the 23 mutineers was twenty - six. — Philadelphia Inquirer.
