/ was talking recently with an eX-
tremely unhappy woman. she Is
young, healthy. good looking ana
fairly well-to-do, but she says she Is
perfectly miserable. Why Merely
because she cannot have things which
other people have. She cannot dress
las we'll as the girls she knows dress;
she does not have plenty of money as
they have TO spend on amusements
and all sorts of unnecessary Things.
She is always comparing what she
has with what other girls have, and
feels ill-used by fate because she can
not measure up to their standard oi
expenditure. For instance, she has a
fine, warm set of furs, but because
they are last years style and because
she could not afford to have them
made over, she prefers to suffer with
the cold rather than wear them Wlef2
the contrast with those of Wealthief
girls will constantly mortify her.
Can anything be smaller or meanef
than to look at ones possessions IN
this way; to depreciate what one has
and refuse to enjoy 10 simply because
other people have something better?
Yet this young woman is but a type
of multitudes of people who measure
the value of what they have by what
others have.
Envy and vanity kill vast amount
of possible happiness. our own mod
est possessions mean very little TO
many of us because they do not COM
pare favorably with our neighbors.
If no one else in our community had
more than we have; If they did not
own a finer home wear more eXpen-
sive clothes and drive about in their
own automobile. we should think we
were fortunate indeed. We should ap-
preciate the things which we have,
but which envy now prevents us from
enjoying or appreciating. The very
fact that others have so much more
than we have, that we are obliged to
get along with so much less than peo-
pie who we feel sure deserve no better
than we do, takes all the pleasure out
of our lives. The thought of what we
have not looms so large on our horizon
that we cannot see or enjoy what we
have.
One OF the most astonishing things
in human life is the false ideas which

Protest Against Lynching
Recently in
Would

another, desires that the culprit shall
escape the penalty for his misdeeds,
but if we are to have a real democ-
acy built upon law, order, justice
and truth, it were better to let the
law take its course and demand that
it be respected than to allow the
scorching blood of anger to run its
whole gamut unchallenged. If the
country continues to allow a certain
class of citizens of certain States to
take the law in their own hands
whenever they see fit, it then will
only be a question of time when that
same class of citizens will wantonly
disregard all respect and considera
tion for manhood and humanity and
take up arms against the nation in
the event of what it might deem a
cause for revenge.
Thus far it is only very, very rare
when this method of punishment is
tried out on any other people than
the negroes. Under our Federal con-
stitution the negroes should be pro-
tected just as much so as any other
people.
The president and his secretary of
state have written volumes in bitter
protest during the past fifteen months.
but no such programs of protest
seem to be in vogue when five negroes
are illegally and barbariously shot
to death and left hanging to the limb
of one of natures harmless trees in
the Southland of our own United
States.
Why, it seems just mere mock
cry and pretense to hear our great
leaders talk of humanity and their
regard for it in the face of the series
of lynchings that regularly occur in
| this country. Surely humanity is not
| measured in terms OF skin color The
| negroes are human, for nature saws
SO, and nature is superior to mere
man. Very truly yours,

the nature of happiness. We are an
seeking it, and yet how few ever mo
1t or how few ever knew what IL II
or how or where to find 1t?
The general belief is that it is founa
i'm things, and can be bought Win
money. The more money the more
things and the more things the more
enjoyment, the greater the degree oi
happiness.
But money has never yet been known
to buy happiness. No one has ever yet
found happiness by chasing 1t over
the earth. 1t is not in our food, II Is
not in our drink, it is not in our
clothes or material possessions; II y
rot in excitement or constant round
of pleasure. Happiness is born of right
living. 1t is the child of right thinH-Ga
and right acting. a selfish life never
tastes of the real article. Greed and
envy never touch it.
Happiness is something which is re-
leased from our acts and from our
thoughts. A little of it here and a
little there is released from our good
deeds, our unselfish service, from our
right acts and thoughts. Some of 1t
is released every time we help or ell
courage another soul. A little bit OF
it is released when we give helping
nand to those who have fallen under
their burdens. A little of it is re
leased from the sacrifices we make for
the advantage of others.
We get our happiness just as the
bee gets honey. The bee does not find
honey ready made. 1t must work hard
for all ii gets. 1t can only get little bit
from each flower it visits. We do not
get happiness ready made. We sip 1t
from the flowers of life, and. like the
bee, we must get a little happiness
honey here and a little there as we
go through the garden of life.
Those who do most of the deeds
which release happiness, who get the
largest aggregate of them in their
lives, enjoy the most and are the
happiest.
Happiness is not a monopoly. No
one can CORNER" it. 1t is for sale
in the marketplace of life for every
one who is willing to pay the price,
and that is within the reach of all.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Perhaps millions of people in the
United States read in the newspapers
last week of the lynching of five ne
groes just outside the hamlet of
Starkville, Georgia.
The men in question, according to
the reports, were held because of their
presumable connection with the muir
der of the sheriff of Lee county. OF
course, it need hardly be said that
this lynching business in the South
land has steadily and regularly pro-
gressed until now it is a common
thing. The people read of so many
like occurrences until they are no
longer startled or choked up at such
news.
But, Mr.. Editor. as a matter OF
hard, frozen fact, this sort of thing
should certainly not only be protest.
ed against, but 1t should be stopped.
Political fear should not intervene
when it comes to adjusting the rights
of American citizens and upholdlng
the basic laws of the land. The
United States government has every
and amply sufficient power at Its
command to stop this barbaric Gus
tom, and it's utter poignant indiffer-
ence in the matter only super-sub-
stantiates a dreadful and unpardon-
able mockery of democracy.
In some parts of the South the
black man is lynched for the most
trivial and slight offenses; no longer
do they confine their abominable, vii
| famous and inhuman TRADES of lynch
ing to the avenging of what is now
commonly known as the usual
| crime" but the law-defying, blood
drawing ropes, bullets and shotgun
| fuel are used to avenge the most
trifiing causes of spleen and vexa-
| tion.

Answers to Health Questions

L. R.-Q. Will you please tell me
what TO do for blackheads?
2. Will you kindly suggest some
remedy for superfluous hair?
A. Avoid all oily, hot. greasy, rich,
starchy and highly seasoned foods,
sweets, pastries and chocolates. Do
not use soap or hot water on your
face, but wash it with glycerine, i
ounce; sulphur, 1 dram, and rose
water ounces. Dissolve blackheads
out with glycerine and benzoin,
one teaspoonful of each to a cupful
of rose water.
.. Try the following powder care
fully about twice a week: Sodium sui
phate, dram: quicklime powder, o
drains: crushed starch. 514 drains.
When ready to use take enough dis
titled water to make some of it into
paste. Apply it with a bat stick to
the overgrowth of hair. Allow it to
remain on five or ten minutes, but
test il at intervals. AS soon as the
hair can be easily removed, wash it
off quickly and massage ounce seed
jelly six parts and glycerine one part
into the reddened spots for three min
utes.
S. o. So. /. What are the unmis-
taxable signs of scabies and the prog
ress of the disease? What is the cure?
.. Does the germ die when sep
arated from the human body? Can
clothing be disinfected, as for other
diseases?
3. Is internal treatment available
for such a troubleP
4. The public school in the town
where | live is literally a hotbed of
this terrible disorder. The children
bring it home to their parents, and
the germ practically creates plague.
on account of the nature of the dis
ease, nothing is ever made public
about it. Can you give any advice
which might instruct our teachers to
help in eliminating this malady?
Al. An article on the subject VIII
soon appear. 1t is a tiny itch bug,
which looks like little soft-shelled
crab under the microscope. 1t gener-
ally seeks shelter In the soft tissues
of the body, and the warmth of the
bed clothing at night helps incubate
these little pests. The cure takes not
more than a week, and consists of hot
sulphur baths, sulphur ointment and
skin scrubs.
.. 1t is a bug that quickly dies. The
clothing may be easily disinfected.
,. No.
4 This Is often true. Until the poll
ticians themselves are infected the
whole school will not be closed and
disinfected. Such a plea should be
made public and arouse the spirit of
progress, as we'll as cleanliness,
among the citizens Of your town.

Futile Debates.


From the New York journal OF Commerce.
No sooner does Congress get into
session again after the holiday sea-
son than the flood of futile debate is
resumed over such questions as for
bidding citizens OF the country TO sail
the ocean in vessels of belligerent ma
tions. and prohibiting the shipment
TO any such nations of munitions OF
war or military supplies.
II may be imprudent for Americans
to sail on British or French or Italian
vessels which are going through the
| English channel or the Mediterranean
Sea, but hardly more so than on neu-
tral vessels, as experience has shown.
| They have the right to do so at any
rate and it would be reasonably safe
| but for tho risk of attack upon the
vessels by the lurking submarines
which disregard all the rules of civil

What the government ought to do Is
not to give way to that kind OF VIOLA
| tion of all law or principle of human
| ity and forbid its subjects to exercise
their rights, but insist upon an aban-
