Humor proves to be the saving
clause of many distressing situation.
The trouble with most Of us is that
we take our troubles altogether too
seriously. We fail to see the funny
side of things that for the moment
concern us. even though we are quick
to grasp 1t when we are mere on
lockers.
In the face of gathered clouds that
seem to shut out the sunshine forever
1t is not bad idea to remind ourselves
that this old mother earth has been
revolving on her axis for countless
ages. that generations of men have
come and gone for thousands of years
and that the march of human progress
has gone right along In the forward
direction despite what seemed to be
occasional setbacks.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you" There is humor in nearly every
situation If we can only see 1t from
the right angle. Those Of US who try
to smile In adversely and think how
much more laughable 1t would be II

less uncomfortabl BILE over 1t and take
pleasure IN looking forward to the
time when the shoe will be on the

DR.. Charles Fleischer Of Boston, in
his address, Oct. 8, at Saco, before the
Maine Federation of Women's Clubs,
said the woman of the goth century
is breaking the chrysalis in which she
had been sleeping, and Is making her
individuality felt on present day con-
ditions: that there is wonderful fu-
ture for the woman who realizes her
possibilities; and that women should
use every opportunity for moral and
intellectual advancement, each trying
to develop the individuality given her,
and which all should preserve. He
believes women should not only have
the ballot but also the responsibilities
which 1t entails.
