THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
unselfishness In Life 10 the One Thing
That viii Transform All
Things to Gold.

The moment we set about the task
OF making every human being we
come in contact with better for know
ing us-more cheerful, more coura-
geous and with greater faith in the
kindness Of God and man-that mo-
ment W. begin to attain the third pur-
pose Of life-personal happiness.
Would you possess the magic secret
Of the alchemist which transforms all
things to gold?
1t is unselfshness-or, to use a bet.
ter word, selflessness.
He who goes forth bent upon being
always kind. always helpful. In the lit
tie daily events of life, will find all
skies tinted with gold, all his nights
set with stars and unexpected flowers
of pleasure springing up in his path
way.
And all his tears shall turn into
smiles.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Session for $3,,ooo,ooo Project
New Committee 10
Favorable.

Washington, d. Cit Is not GER
tain that the army engineers will be
ready in December to transmit to
congress their report on the eight or
nine-foot channel between st. Louis
and Chicago, recommended by them
In their report on the proposed lakes
to.ths-gulf waterway. While opposing
the 14.foot depth which the people OF
the Mississippi valley have been de-
handing, the engineers expressed the
belief that the present eight-foot
project on the Mississippi between st.
Louis and Cairo should be completed,
and said that an eight or nine-foot
channel for the upper stretch of the
project Is the least that should be
provided 10 meet the needs Of the
present and prospective commerce.
To Make Fight.
The engineers have found that much
work must be done. The upper stretch
was the first portion OF the proposed
deep waterway to be surveyed at the
14.foot depth, but no figures are avail
able for a more shallow channel. I'm
less this additional report is forth
coming promptly. further criticism I'M
doubtedly will be heard. Members OF
congress who are strong supporters
Of the deep waterway indicated very
plainly before leaving Washington for
the summer that they will make a real
fight for substantial recognition next
winter. They talked as II they meant
business. One or W. intimated that
q rough-house time may be expected
by the powers that be in congress- II
chance or something more substantial
should put them against the big prof.
ect. Drastic action of this character
will be hardly necessary II, as gem
orally supposed, the new house com.
mittee Is favorable to deep water for
the Mississippi.
II 1t should happen that the addi-
tional report for the lesser channel
between st. Louis and Chicago Is de-
layed until late in the session, action
might easily be taken without 1t, on
the theory that it is conceded that a
14.foot channel for that stretch is
feasible and that there can be no
question as to the feasibility of an
| eight or nine-foOt depth. The esti-
mated lost of a 14-foot depth between
those points is $31 600, 600.
