right way to get the greatest possible
enjoyment out Of life. There Is quite
difference, usually. In the amount OF

but 1t is easier for young folks in q
small place to get home Of their

to prove this BY statistics. A ten

the other hands that are outstretched

what they seem; and the extra pay OF

not very well have heating stove In

Congress began framing Legislation

touched by the probable loss of his
friend and military aide, Major Archi-
bald W. Butt, held conferences with
cabinet officers, to consider govern.
ment control over the operation Of
