The world is suffering for smil-
ing faces The age is too intense
in the business direction,to too flip
pant in its literature. The world
needs more smiles and fewer
frowns, moore, sunshine and gess
lightning. 1t cost nothing to al
low smile to play restfully upon
the features when trading or vot-
ing when talking or reading. 1t
pays infnitly more than it costs
in friendship, in finance, in indiyid-
ual growth. We can win more
people by a smile than we can
brighten by a frown, just as the sun
shine grows more trees than the

come self-supporting; establishing day
