lation In his postoff1ce appropriation bill to
be considered. He was probably justified in
saying that unless the legislation, designed
to effect certain economies, was carried az
a rider in an appropriation bill 1t would never
pass the Senate, but he was not justified in
questioning the motives, as he did, OF those
who voted against him. The incident was
instructive in showing how suddenly. the
face Of things changes In the House, some
times.
Two days before Moons defeat Martin
Madden, member Of Moons committee, gave
a dinner at the Army and Navy Club in
honor of Tuttle, of New Jersey, who retlres
from the committee at the end of this session.
Chairman Moon was congratulated all
around on having the assurance Of passing
a bill which would effect savings amounting
to S100000O0 or more.
The point is, that all those experienced
legislators assumed, as a fact accomplished,
that the postofiice bill would slide through
without friction and to the greater glory of
John Moon. Then, bingl-two days later
the bill was torn to pieces in rag time. What
had happened? Nobody knows. sort OF
brain wave, a tempest of mental dstemper
swept over the House-both sides, mind you
and the beautiful structure of the Moon
bill was scattered.

1t is not generally realized how helpless a

possible to locate the enemy through the

hostile searchlights. Nothing can be seen in
daytime under water few feet away. and
a submarine must project its periscope above
the surface before attack. II the perscope Is

Surely the irrationality of the hour will

MAKING LIFE WORTH LIVING

From the Kansas city Star
''Why don't break down unders the strain
Is mystery to me;sI have so much TO con-
tend with"
1t was a woman who said that And 1t was
another woman, her companion on street
car, who answered soothlngly:
Don't worry; life is worth living II you take
IL that way"
The first woman had worried look. Her
face was drawn. She was old before her
time.
The second woman had a Jolly cheerful.
hopeful inspiring air about her. She seemed
10 years younger than the first one, and yer
they were about the same age.
The misfortunes of the first woman were as
nothing compared with those of the second
one; her troubles were just the ordinary veX-
ations Of life; the trivial laxites OF the SER
child with the sore throat Johnny sent home
from school for misconduct-little things not
worth worrying about-and yet she did worry
until her life was made miserable.
The other woman's misfortunes were real
ones; husband who could not seem to get
along; poverty that made scrlmping necessary;
an afflicted child-but 10 all of her troubles
she had applied her philosophy
life is worth living II you take it that way"
She wasn't highly educated woman and
she didn't know she had worked out the phi-
losophy Of the great religionists and sages in
her own way,
She had never read the saying of Epictetus;
"Externals are not I'm my power will is In my
power" Or Of Marcus Aurelius: "All that is
harmony for thee, Universe, is in harmony
with me well' Perhaps she never had
connected her philosophy even with that Of the
great apostle. who believed that all things
worked together for good to them that love
God
But she had made the great discovery out OF
her own experience that she the captain
OF her soul in finding life worth living. Happl-
ness had come to her when she forgot her
troubles in the activities OF a useful life that
was lived courageously and with sympathy
for those about her. In this way she had kept
