all will yet be well. You give of your
best when you are keen on the scent
OF what you are hunting in life.
The ardor that lightens work and
brightens disappointments has its eff
feet on your physical being. You are
not jaded and tired with the boredom
of one who feels that tomorrow has
nothing to offer. But instead you write
each day with the eager JOY of one
who has faith in his own ability to
achieve. Brain, muscle, will and spirit
all must respond with their best when
the motive power of enthusiasm starts
them into action.
Enthusiasm is not content to stag
nate. 1t demands to learn how to do.
II is impelled from within to get on
quickly-and it does. In work. in play,
In vocation and avocation, enthusiasm
not only points the road to success, but
guides you along 1t at an earnest pace
with answering purpose to reach the
goal of accomplishment.
Without enthusiasm achievement Is
a colorless thing. And enthusiasm Is
not gift of the fairies-it is a thing
within your own power to cultivate
and possess. Spur yourself with de-
sire to do and with Joy at what you
have chance to accomplish. Look
zestfully forever and ever more oppor-
tunity to count in the world. Go about
your work briskly, with the feeling
that you are assuredly to accomplish
great things. You are not likely to
disappoInt yourself. Your own en-
thusiasm will carry you high on wings
of power.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

No great victory has ever been won
without enthusiasm. The defenders
of a citadel need only determination
and stubbornness to enable them to
held their position. But to take the
offensive and to storm any fortress
needs the white heat of supreme en-
thUsiasm.
The force of enthusiastic hope and
enthusiastic endeavor has saved many
lost cause. Depression sinks away
before the force of bright-eyed desire
to be up and doing. How many of us
enthuse quickly about each new op-
portunity that touches our horizon.
But the cold winds of waiting may
chill our first ardor and the frost of
oresults may even destroy It, But II
is only counterfeit enthusiasm that so
easily perishes. The genuine feeling
endures in the face of hardship and
slow accomplishment and conquers by
force of zestful determination to reach
it's goal.
Youth. in its first flush of proud
consciousness, is likely to think it can
conquer the world. BUT THE EN-
THUSIASM THAT CAN MAKE A
WHOLE LIFE SPLENDID is THAT
. WHICH ENDURES TO THE VERY
END OF LIES SDISAPPOINTMEN ENTS
AND TRANSCRIPTS THEM ALL.
Cultivate the enthusiasm that en-
dures. 1t will make dull world

NO CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES


Washington, July 22. = No actual
claim for damages on account of the

due both to the fact that the question

with Germany on submarine warfare

on the part of prospective claimants
as to methods of procedure.
