DISCARDS WRIST WATCH
Students Would Drop Fad Introduced
by Kermit Roosevelt.

"Sissyism" is in the discard at Har-
ward, and the wrist watch. which has
net yet been generally adopted at Mis-
souri,. must vanish. That is the edict
of the student body and a vigorous
crusade is under way to have the OBJ
iectionable" emblem of effeminacy put
out of commission for the time being.
The formation of the Harvard regi-
ment and the recent action of Percy
HaughtOn in discarding his much-dis-
cussed wrist watch had something to
do with the present crusade.
Wrist watches are the particular
bane of the -blOOded" students
who are in the hunt for "sissies." They
demand that Harvard men carry
their watches and handkerchiefs in
their pockets. and the Students Vigi-
lance Committee intends to see thai
they do so.
Kermit Roosevelt was the student
who introduced the wrist watch into
Harvard undergraduate life.

WAR ORDERS AND THE WEST

The two billions of war orders now
being filled in the smithies of the East
have brought added prosperity to the
West They have acted as tonic to
the business of the entire country.
providing the needed stimulus to an
other period of wide prosperity.
The United States has the funda-
mental resources that make prosper
ity possible both in good times and in
bad times. But unless men lave con-
fidence that they can sell the products
of toll they hesitate to take the wait
ing riches of nature.
Belief that the future will be better
than the present has been inspired in
the business men of the nation by the
flood of war orders Such belief is
highly contagious. Those who got the
war orders bought their needs at good
prices and extended fayorablv credits.
The knowledge that the mills would
work full time led merchants to stock
heavily. Then the factories that
made the goods the merchant bought
caught the infection. And so it went.
The Review of Reviews says the war
orders have created values five times
their amount. Whether this estimate
is correct or not, they have been ben
eficial to the West OF this the wide
spread feeling of confidence and the
general business expansion is suffici
ent evidence.

SCIENTIEIC MANAGEMENT

Most people balk at the term "scien-
tific management" They have a sort
of hazy idea that it is a cOnglomera-
tion of stop watches and motion study
and nultitudinous forms and l., tape,
useful in large factories and govern
ment establishments. But as for ap-
plying il to their own business-huh, ,
They have too much to do to fool with
all that nonsense

plication of scientific management to
business really does? II includes.

LEST WE FORGET

Prosperity often acts as a narcotic
to progressive effort. Men seem To
remedy evils most readily when they
are hungry.
How quickly, under the soothing

A Thought for the Day

Il have learned that God does not
wish men to live each for himself, and
therefore He has not revealed to them
but He wishes them TO live in union.
and therefore He has revealed to them
what is necessary for each and all
together. / have learned that 1t is
only in appearance that they are kept
alive through care for themselves. but
that in reality they are kept alive
through love. He who dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him, for
God is love. Count Leo Tolstoi in

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iniamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
dammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
hamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
