HAVE PROVED THEIR METTLE
oldle of the Present Day Show
Bravery at Least Equal to That
of Their F~orebears.

All the rules have gone smash in
the war. There's an old one in the
b:}tlsh army that you ought to begin
10 iook to retreat when ten per cent Of
the men are down. In ours it is IS.
In all armies it is either 10 or Is. Brit
ssh regiments have stuck when so
per cent were out. German and
French regiments have continued
charging when only a handful were
still alive or unwounded. Men have
never fought so bravely as in this war.
The idea that humanity was getting
soft was the most ridiculous pif1e that
ever emanated from a ''knocker" of
the good old human race.
In the old times you fought for a
few hours and the battle was over. If
you were uncertain of your courage,
you took a drink before you charged.
Now you fight day after day; you face
the enemy in apprehension that n
moment a she'll may bury you alive or
eviscerate you. Hand grenades are
tossed back and forth like bouquets.
It's a wal Of nerves. and in this age
of nerves the highly civilized and or
g~anized man is standing what would
utterly demoralize a savage.-Freder-

THE SEARCH

, that is duling our lives and how can we
best eradicate It?
The answers to this question are varied.
I'VE are not happy because financial
worries are eating our hearts out and
taking the pleasure out OF life" one man
will answer
Financial anxietes are very, very hard
to bear and all the more so because not
alone are we ourselves involved therein
for financial troubles fall impartially on
those whom we care most about in this
world. The husband who has an ailing
wife, and who although the doctor has
vigorously prescribed 1t. cannot afford to
send her South for the winter: the father
who cannot afford to crafty hts sons am

man vino secs the wolf approach very.
very near the door which holds all that
is dearest in tho world to him-all these
are up against n proposition which some
how holds no happiness, but only very
great deal Of pain
Yet happiness can he cultivated. The
mind can be turned from doleful intro
spectIon to a brighter and more cheer
ful outlook. The counting up OF ones
blessings and the persistent ignoring OF
the darker side Of the picture will in
duce a more cheerful frame of mind.
For. after all. the world is a glorious
place. fun OF delightful surprises and
intensely interesting happenings. We
must not shut our eyes and ears to the
lighter side of life, for
The world is so full or such wonderful things
That I'm sure should all he as happy as
kings.
The influence of mind over matter is

accomplish things little short of miracles.
The average human being only needs to
be aroused. to be taken out of himself
and wakened to the JOY and the glory
of life.
And, after all, happiness is found in
the little things, in the trihes that too
many people overlook as immaterial. They
are not immaterial; upon the contrary,
they are very. very important. And once
we have awakened to that most neces-
sary Viewpoint we will find true happi-
ness In the little trihes which go to
make up the sum-tOtal of the well-bal-
anced life.

AMERICAN COLORS FOR
WOMEN OF AMERICA!
An Entirely New Set of Shades
Is Designed for Feminine
Attire.

Now it's American colors for the
American woman. The wave of patriot
ism--or of feminine fckleness-that has
caused her TO frown upon foreign modes
is now responsible for the introduction
OF an entirely new set of shades de-
signed TO make those of the time-honored
rainbow look drab by comparison. And
IL all OF the gay and giddy tones that
have come into being find their way into
Easter costumes tho parade on Broad
street this year will make the futurists
hide their heads for shame.
Goethals' grit-a light sand, as it's name
might indicate-Christoba red, indepen-
dence blue, Baby Francis pink, named
in honor of the White House infant;
Ponce de Leon green. with Penn gray TO
give touch of seriousness. are a few OF
the new shades that have been put on
the market.
But not ALL In addition there is
knickerbocker, a medium shade of tan,
with its companion. Chevy Chase,
light mode. The pinks run the gamut
from the palest Priscilla down through
Baby Francis Evangeline, happiness TO
Lafayette. an intense old rose.
More time forethought and sentiment
have been expended on the blues. how
ever, than on any other color because
this of all is the American woman's fa-
vOrite. Independence. which promises TO
be universally adopted, is an absolutely
original color. The outcome of an in
spiration of department head OF one of
the big shops here, who conferred with
a dye artist i'm carrying cut his idea,
independence is an attractive, purplish
shade Of blue, the result OF a combination
OF the Anne rican flag colors.
An even more defiant shade of blue is
Barbara, named from the aggressive Bar
bara Freitchie. Betsy inspired by Betsy
Ross is true blue with no suggestion OF
another color, and Poeahontas is the
name given 20 the color best described
by the tones of the feathers on a blue

Can happiness be cultivated? is a aues'
zion MS old as the sun, moon and stars
And vet the answer to it is always df.
ferent and nearly always unsatisfactory
For one person finds happiness in out
ward circumstance. while another de-
clares that happiness and duty are syn
onymous terms. and yet a third informs
us that happiness is merely relative. and
that after ali IT'S doubtful II there's any
such thing at all.
Amidst such a confusion OF conflicting
opinion Il is hard to make UP ones mind
definitely on the subject. From the eth
ical standpoint one ought to find the
truest happiness in the fulhlment of duty.
And yet one daily sees the man or woman
who Is fighting the hardest fight between
duty and inclination. and who turns sad
eyes toward the right and the right only
and yet rigorous adherence to duty does
not take the sadness from their eyes

SPRING MARKET OFFERS
LURE TO HOUSEWIFE
Changes in Array of Good
Things for Table - Prices
Tend Downward.

The markets present various features
OF interest to the housewife this week.
With the gradual increase of early
spring foods, and the disappearance of
many of the winter standbys, q new
impetus is given to the desire to visit
the markets and prepare for the changes
in diet which come with March Lent
has now entered into its second half and
the possibilities presented by the fish and
vegetable stalls materially lessen the
difficulties caused by the restrictions of
the season.
There is little change in the fish mar
ket, although the general tendency is
toward lower prices Shad is still high,
but the more common varieties, like
salmon, halibut, founders and smelts,
are very reasonable. Certain vegetables
have taken n sudden jump in price be-
cause of an unexpected shortage in
many products. Peppers, egg plant,
string beans and red cabbage are very
scarce now. The next most prominent
feature of the vegetable market is the
appearance of new potatoes. These are
selling for 20 cents to 30 cents quart.
Tomatoes are becoming more plentiful.
The price of fruits is stationary.
Pork is now selling at the same prices
that ruled before the slight rise last
week. Shoulder, ham and salt pork, the
cuts particularly affected, are now
reasonable again. Bacon and dried beef
have taken n noticeable drop. Beef
prices also run lower than has been the
case in the last months, while lamb re-
mains stationary. Fowl has gone down
as much as cents pound on chicken,
Eggs have continued to go down. The
very best eggs are selling at 2S cents and
good cold storage eggs are bringing as
low as IS cents. Following are this weeks
prices at the three principal markets
in the city:
