LONDON, Oct. 1S.-fBy mail.)-
How a weary, dust-covered British
Tommy had the surprise Of his life
when given "a lift" in a military auto
mobile on country road in northern
France has just been told in London.
Two officers were in the car They
talked to the Tommy and he was
soon telling his troubles. Soon he
produced a picture Of his best girl,
from one of his innermost pockets.
The officers congratulated him on the
good looks of his girl and he finally
ventured:
81 suppose you, too, sir, carry a
photograph of someone?" The
younger of the two officers replied.
well, I've got my fathers photo
about me and I'll give you one If you
like" He produced golden sover-
eign and slipped it into the "Tommy's"
hand On the sovereign was the head
of King George. "Tommy's" compan-
ions were the Prince of Wales and a
brother officer.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-King Constan-
tine of Greece has finally thrown
down the gauntlet to the Greek war
party. Dispatches from Athens today
announce that he had dissolved par
lament.
No details were given by the dis
patches further than that a general
election has been set for December 49,.
A genuine expression of the senti-
ment of the nation at the ballot box
will be impossible because all trained
men are modified and will not be per-
mitted to vote under the Greek laws.
Even the unframed men of military
age have been modified, increasing
the army to half million men.
King Constantine is apparently con-
yinced that the handful of electors left
will give him a majority in parlia-
ment.

The Literary Trawler

Training the mind intellectually
does not always help to make 1t an
instrument Of the will, although 1t
ought to tend in that direction. The
path of least resistance is the easiest
to follow. And SO people become ego
lists, intent only upon their own mar
row lives and petty interests. After
all, the real pleasure in life comes
from unselfishness. Doing for others
brings the greatest happiness.
An understanding of the true values
of life, love, and high purposes Is what
is most essential in the lives Of young
people. To feel that life is broad, that
it will be what we make 1t, to under
stand that willpower can be used for
good or evil, that love is heaven-born
and that hate springs from low ideals.
to know these things. means true
preparation for life. But 1t is doubt
full IL anything but experience can
teach these things.

IMMIGRATION.

immigration movements of the last
quarter of century have taken re-
versal since the beginning Of the Eu-
ropean war. Since about 1880, most
OF our immigrants have come from
Southern Europe. The people have
been often of the lower type.
Now immigration has been exceed
ing immigration and it has been the
laborers Of Southern Europe, too.
who have left in the greatest numbers.
From January 1 to November 80 Of
last year 44,77s more people left this
country than came here.
The higher class OF immigrant has
been our latest and most numerous
arrival. In November, 1864 English
came to the United States while only
4,4f0 left; incoming Germans exceeded
outgoing by 2,2s9; 1913 more Irish
came than left, and 1858 more Scotch.
Italians left in the greatest number,
1880.
This exodus of cheap labor should
make for better conditions for the
working man. On the whole, it should
prove beneficial to all classes.

MISSOURI A HEALTHFUL STATE.


Hot biscuits may be a most un-
healthful diet and the assertion that
Missourians consume more than the
citizens of any other state may be
true. But Missouri, none the less. is
one of the most healthful states in the
Union. The only commonwealths
that have lower death rate are Min
nesota, Montana, Washington and
Wisconsin. For the year 1914, there
were only 1872 deaths for each 1000
inhabitants, white and black consid-
cred together. With negroes elimi-
mated, the mortality rate was approxi-
mately lis based on an estimated
population of 3,375,O00. The death
rate among negroes is high in every
state where they live in large sections.
But. in proportion to this Missouri
population, the state ranks better than
many further north.
The Ozark elevation. occupying
most of the southern half of the state,
is full of health resorts that are well
supplied with pure drinking and med
icated waters. This section does much
In making Missouri fifth as health
full state.
The larger cities in the state have
a registration bureau for births and
mortalities. Among these cities, Han
nibal has the lowest death rate, 1874
for each 1000. The negro death rate
there, 24.6 in 1000, increased the NOR
tality when the estimated population
in 1918. 2O,147, is taken as whole.
Kansas City and st. Louis have the
same death rate. 14.6. This rate is
lower than those of the cities of the
East.
For Missouri, excepting for children
under one year of age. deaths are
more frequent among men and wom-
en- ranging in age from sixty to sixty
four years. In 1918 twelve men did
not die until they had passed the CEN
tury mark. The ripe old age Of So
to 80 years was attained by thirty. The
drainage of the former swamp areas
of Southeast Missouri has accom-
plished wonders there in reducing the
death rate, which is now fifty per
cent lower than it was fifteen years
ago.
Mcdonald County in the extreme
southwestern part Of the state has the
lowest rate, Al. Rural Missouri,
which embraces that portion of the
state outside of the regulation cities,
has 1913 death rate of 10.s per
thousand.
