Some one once said that the only
way to get away from the discords
of life was to be a hermit. Others
more pessimistic aver that death is
the only means of obtaining peace.
s. F. Shorey, however. who has
lately written a book called HUI
man Harmonies and the Art of Max
ing" published by Desmond Fitz-
gerald, Inc, of New York, holds that
since all discords have the common
cause, ignorance, that they can be
adjusted finally by the common rem
edy, education.

saws, lis an educational campaign
covering the entire GLOBE The au-
thor grants that the world has
never seen an age of greater mental
activity than the present, but that
this activity is loose-running, wild,
indefinite.
He speaks more generally of the
practical discords of everyday life,
intimating that, with them adjusted
through education, the larger ele-
ments of life will automatically
straighten themselves out into some
sernblance OF order.

domestic unhappiness, in other
words, to the unhappy state of af-
fairs known as the family row."
This subject is treated Of in one
separate chapter, but it runs as a
thread through many which are
merely an elaboration of the details.
Quarrels, Mr.. Shorey observes,
arise from the fact that there is
but little knowledge held in COM
mon. He says:

He Wanted to Laugh, Too.

His genial. pleasant disposition and
sterling personal qualities have won
for Speaker Clark many warm
friends even among those who
for political reasons might be con-
sidered his enemies. Speaking in this
connection some time ago Representative
Farr OF Pennsylvania, himself Repub-
lican. said of Mr. Clark: He Is above
everything, a kindly. everyday man,
wholly unaffected and unspoiled by the
greatness of his position-which is itself
a mark of greatness"
"One afternoon recently continued
NJ. Farr, there arose situation on
the floor wherein the tension between
some Of the opposing members was high
tn the point of nervousness. BY some
characteristic remarks, replete with that
homely philosophy of his. Speaker Clark
turned the situation and relieved the
strain.
Struck both by the timely wisdom
and the appositeness Of the remark,
broke forth into several private but very
hearty chuckles. They, but not the
cause. caught the Speakers eye;
The next day, having occasion 70

as though in confidence:

he did not like 10 hang around the

Tessie, would ask him to go on an

He came into the house just as the
meal was almost over, and went
