The Value Of Friendship Among Girls
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

and broadness II Is greater test to
be able TO give to those who win,
II there is girl in trouble. her girl

les. or dislikes. and so to that girl with
hands outstretched.
But IL that girl attains a position in
social or business life that Is donied them.
how TO they so TO her! Are the hands
extended as those OF a sympathising
friend, or are they doubled up into a
shape more closely resembling a fist?
The winner needs encouragement and
sympathy as much as the loser. though
In a different way. She needs the assur-
ance Of those who didn't win that they
are glad for her sake. She wants her
old friends stlll TO be friendly. She needs
her faith In them TO keep her from
growing bitter.
They need the power to be glad for
her sake, for. lacking It they are bitter.
Since we are talking about friends. I
would like to ask my girls this: DO they
realize the splendid investment q woman
makes by being friends with women7
There Is nothing romantic about such
friendship. It Ia true. 1t is also true
that at n certain emotional. enthusiastic
period OF her life, a girl has "a most
intimate friend whom she changes with
as little eompunctlon as she would change
her gloves or hat.
That Is due TO her youth. As shs
grows older she grows more discriminate
ihg. has fewer most Intimate friends"
retains them longer, and the hurt is
something that leaves scar when she
loses them.
The girl who is popular among other
girls has u popularity that has a good
and sane foundation.
Such popularity indicates that she is
Just and fair. doesn't gossip never Stops
TO suspicion, and above all is loyal. II IL
easy TO presage the future OF girl who
Is popular with other girls.
She Is the girl who grows into a useful
worthy capable, self-reliant and reliable
woman.
There is no school In which girl can
get better self-help than in this school
of popularity. II she will make other girls
come first IN her thought, she will build
up a character far greater than II she
made popularity with the boys the height
OF her ambition
And boy. II he has the sense ne needs
to save him from destruction, viii give
his heart into the keeping Of the girl
whom other girls like and In whom other
girls trust
Another thought about friends: Has any
girl better friend than her mother?
The little children who searched far
and near for a blue bird. signIfying hap
piness, though they left a blue bird at
home, have many comrades on the way.
Among those who engage in the foolish
and fruitless search all over the world
for that which may be found at home
arb the girls who put the friends made
away from home higher than the friend
they left there.
And that is the friend found in their
mother.

HOW THE sExTANT Is USED BY AN
EXPLORER TO ASCERTAIN HIS
EXACT LOCATION.
By GARRETT p. sERyIss.

A bird s-eye view Of the route taken by
Captain Road Amundsen to the south
pole looks like a mountaineer's picture of
the way up to an Alpine summit. II was
q climb. After marching 80 miles across
the wonderful plain Of floating ice. called
the Great Antarctic Ice Barrier-a frozen
floor from 500 to 1000 feet thick, which
floats on the surface Of the ocean-Cap-
tain Amundsen encountered the real edge
of the South Polar continent in the form
Of a lofty range Of mountains, buried
deep under snow and ice.
Then he began to climb. and continued
to mount higher for days, ascending first
to 1900 feet above the sea; then 400 feet;
and finally. after some slight dips down
ward, to 1890 feet, which was the highest
point he attained. although he saw, aside
from his route, peaks 1000 feet high.
The vast white stairway up to the polar
plateau, the greater part Of which
Amundsen assembled In four days, Is
something over forty miles long. Once
on top OF the immense snow buried plain
to which this strange climb led him,
Amundsen found the surface eomparat-
lively level, as il he had arrived in the
midst Of a lofty prairie where snow and
ice and hummocks took the place Of
grass and trees. An almost straightaway
march Of about go miles, over the level
top Of the plateau, brought him to the
site Of the south pole. which is raised
1000 feet above the sea
Across the lofty plain. whose center is
the southern hub Of the Garth. fierce
winds blew, charged with ice particles as
piercing as needles. and Amundsen and
his four companions now encountered
their greatest difficulties. To the dis
comfort caused by the storms was added
the exhaustion arising from the rarity
OF the air at an elevation of nearly two
miles from sea level. But they pressed
on, until on December "A. their observa-
tons showed that they had reached the
pole.

With these weapons the Bahais will
overcome all opposition.
worship,-Prayer supplemented by a
pure and useful life In this world forms
the clements Of true worship. Faith,
without works is not acceptable. Every
man should have an occupation which
conduces to the welfare of humanity. the
diligent pursuance Of which is in itself
an act of worship.
This is what Abdul BAHIA says are signs
OF servants OF God:
To live the life. To be no cause of grief
to any one.
To love each other very much.
To be kind to all poole and to love
them with a pure spirit
Should opposition or injury happen to
us. We must bear 1t. and be as kind as
ever We can be, and through all, we must
love the people. Should calamity exist
in the greatest degree. We must rejoice,
for these things are the gifts and fsvors
Of God.
To be silent concerning the faults of
others, to pray for them and help them
through kindness-to correct their
faults.
To look always at the good and not al
the bad.
II a man has ten good qualities and one
bad one, we must look at the ten and for
get the one. And II a man has ten bad
qualities and one good one, we must look
at the one and forget the ten.
To never allow ourselves TO speak one
unklnd word about another, even though
that other be our enemy.
To rebuke those who speak to US Of
the faults Of others.
All our deeds must be done in kindness.
To cut our hearts from ourselves and
from the world.
To be humble.
To be servants Of each other. and to
know that we are less than any one else.
To be as one soul In many bodies, for
the more We love each other the nearer
we will be TO God: but that our love,
our unity, our obedience must not be by
confession. but of reality.
To act with cautioness and wisdom.
To be truthful.
To be hospitable
To be reverent.
To be a cause OF healing for every sick
one: a pleasant water for every thirsty
one; a heavenly table for every hungry
one; a guide for every seeker: rain for
cultivation; a star TO every horizon; a
light for every lamp; a herald to every
yearning one for the kingdom Of God.
He that knows not and knows not that
he knows not
He is a fool, shun him!
He that knows not and knows that he
knows not
He is ignorant. instruct himi
He that knows and knows not that he
knows
He is asleep. awake him!
He that knows and knows that he
knows
He is wise. follows him."
Abdul BAHIA belongs to the latter class,
even as do Vivakananda and Anna
Besant-follow them!

Wouldn't there. pass before the mental
image Of every girl reader a picture OF

comes another great teacher like unto
those two.
Abdul-Baha, the Persian philosopher.
Abdul Baha's life is one Of active ser
vice to humanity.
He is working 10 serve God. yet by
serving God he serves mankind.
From his early childhood to his sixty
fourth year he was an exile and a pri-
soner. yet the light of his life and teach
ings has reached to the far corners OF
the earth.
From many country have gone to him
people Of different beliefs to receive
spiritual help. and upon leaving him they
have returned to their various homes to
share with others the Joy and assurance
of his spiritual message and to follow in
his path Of service.
Some Of the ordinances OF the Bahai
faith touch upon the following subjects:
Religious Unity.-All men are free to
believe and to worship as they will, but
they are exhorted to unite in the uni
versal faith OF BAHIA, for only through
spiritual unity will mankind attain the
highest development.
Tolerance.-The Bahais should not sep
arate themselves from people who are
not Of their belief, nor should they de-
nounee or antagonize those holding views
other than their own.
The Church.-In this cause there is no
priesthood apart from the laity. Each one
who receives the spirits should share 1t
with those whom he meets in daily life.
Teaching is given without money adm
without price. Teachers are genrally self
supporting. but occasionally they are
sent forth to teach provided with the
necessaries Of life by those who are de-
sirous and able in this way to serve
the cause. Places of worship are to be
provided for meeting and prayer.
Marriage.-Celibacy and asceticlsm are
discouraged. Man should marry and Gre
ate family and live in the world where
he can show forth in his daily life the
spirit which is in his soul. Monogamy. as
the highest expression of justice is
taught.
Observation-Disclosures should be met
with goodness and hatred with love.

are formulating the attack with addi-
tional hope that it will be successful.
Another decided surprise sprung by
President Fox was his declaration
that the legislature is without authori-
ty to enact laws authorizing boards
of supervisors to make refunds, pay
ments for damages, etc., to contrac-
tors and other parties in cases where
no statutory authority is now con-
ferred on boards of supervisors to
make such payments. If this is the
proper view of the matter, and is like
ly to be sustained by the courts, then
members of b0ards of supervisors for
many years past are made liable for
amounts thus refunded, and which
will probably aggregate several mil
lion dollars. 1t opens up fertile field
for investigation and litigation by the
state revenue agent.
President Fox is also strongly of the
opinion that the legislature is without
constitutional authority to retsore the
right of suffrage to ex-convicts, and 1t
is likely that there will be test of
this interesting question.
