New Years is a grand, all IN
spring occasion, for 1t IS always
saturated with hope. We are wont
to scott at and deride it as a day
when men make good resolutions
ONLY to hreak them; when they
turn over new leaves, as it is call
ed. thew merely turn them back
again. They want, they hope to
be better, and but few of them are
so. They determine to advance,
and if they do advance they slip
back. Their failures are many
are continuous, and often excite
laughter, But it is worthier to de-
termine and decline to hope and
be disappointed, than not to de-
termine at all. Determination ano
hope add to our contest, or at least
diminish our discomfort, and they
are born OF New Years. The
great need of human life is content
never attained, never attainable
And through New Years we are
deluded into belief of its possibil
;tv Therefore welcome be New
Wears not for what it gives. bu
for IT'S promises to give.

New Year greetings are greet
mos of good will. How they soften
hard hearts, purify base DESIRES
sweeten bitter thoughts. and make
every deed pures and tenderer'
Let hearts expand, sympathies
enlarge, and good will reign. Let
benedictious drop from overfowing
bands. Make cherries homes
radiant, hopeless hearts to thrill
with unspeakable giadness. For

Rise above the mean and petty
resentments which you may have
harbored against those who have
not used YOU we'll. Be generous
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1914-12-26

II YOU find it so difficult to keep
your New Years resolutions,
perhaps it would be good idea to
make a few bad ones this time, for
a change. For instance, you
might resolve to cross your wife
(if you have one) every day during
the year, asd then give her gentle
words and loving kisses instead
You can thus be consistent with
your past record, and possibly be a
better man when anothe year rolls
around.

HUNTING Echoes With an Arc Light

hunttnQ GCUOCB WIN an nv SiSfe
Locating echoes by light beams,
with subsequent correction OF bad
acoustics, has been developed into an
exact science by experimenters In the
University of Illinois. Beams from an
arc light are directed from the stage
to all parts of an auditorium and the
detection of light from walls and pill
lars is noted. Results are checked up
by observing the sound Of the Kissing
travelling in the same course as the
light.
Experience has shown just what
conditions producVthe most trouble
some echoes and With the information
given by the light beams the condi-
lions are readily improved by hang
ing curtains at troublesome points

Music Hath Charms.

Dohnanyi, the famous pianist. tells
a story OF two Scotchmen who lived
in the same fat. Each had piano,
upon which he strummed in his own
room, and one day friend suggested
that they should run the two pianos
into the same room so that they could
play music written for two pianos.
The two men thought ii was a good
idea. and accordingly the pianos were
both placed In the same room. They
practiced diligently at a sonata for two
pianos, but with little success for some
time. the difficulty being that one had
generally finished his movement two OF
three bars before the other.
At last, however. they succeeded In
finishing one movementsexactly at the
same moment. and one said, 'Aweel.
