COST OF PREPAREDNESS

Assuming that 100000 mn stood ready to take UP arms for the
defense of the anton against a frst-class power, what would they need
Immediately before they could take part in a single battle? just to feed
them would require 100000 pounds of solid food and 100000 pnts Of
coffee daily To equip this army would require 100000 rifles, 1000 field
guns, 100000 horses to haul these guns. 165OUOO rounds OF cartridges
and hundreds of other things that ire not att present available.
That the citizen soldier may have some adequate idea of the trenen-
dous amount of preparation that must be accomplished before prepared
mes is a fact two army officers have drawn up a schedule Of "a from the
inside. This is not a manual of training, bat a treatise in plain language
and a guide by which the laynan may inform himself in a general way
concerning military rudiments, 30 that if he is ever called upon to defend
his country he may understand better the general nature of things milf
tary. In this connection many popular fanacies are pointed out, such ai
the alleged geographical security of the United States; the idea that
Americans are born soldiers; that European nations will be too exhausted
t 20 be feared after the war;; that lack of money abroad will prevent a war;;
that, prepared or unprepared, the United States "a lick" any nation o n
earth, and that money and material resources are synonymous with mhi-
tay strngth.
What does IN army OF a million mean? One million mn marching
four abreast would extend over a line 400 miles long.

LAYING HOLD ON HAPPINESS

by S. Lee Frazier in the Los Angeles Herald
We take il. that the chief aim in life is to be happy.
Everybody wants happiness, but so many tail to find it.
You can't borrow it or buy it. Do the right thing and it finds us
Service brings happiness. Giving brings happiness.
To be happy we must make others happy.
We are firm believers in dollars and cents. Money is positive force
and essential to on greatest success and happiness.
However, money cannot buy happiness, but it will bring happiness if
put to good ue.
The misuse and abuse of money bring woe and misery and a uneasy
pillow. The only way to be happy is to make others happy.
Why is II that we are eve 81 thoroughly happy and contented and
10 full Of the JOY Of living, and so nearly right with God and IL fellow
nan a. at the holiday time, when w e are all doing our level best to make
somebody happy?
Happiness il a mutual affair. No one can be happy all alone. There
an be no happiness unless there is some on to share it. Let lis lay hold
on happiness through the years to come: not by looking for it, Or run
ming after it. or buying it with money, but by simply trying with all OH
might to bring happiness to others.
As we succeed in making others happy, We shall find happiness or
portion.
Happiness and Heaven are synonymous and We "a never hope tor
either without having recognized the universal brotherhood of man
Happiness is a state of mind. 1t comes from within. 1t is therefore
up to you and me.
In this mater of happiness. giving is getting, and in n other way
can re hope to find true happiness.
Hereafter let us walow up to III ears in happiness by bringing hap
piness to others.

ALLEGED LEATHER SCARCITY

Statements appearing in financial papers explaining the alleged short
age of leather and the increase in shoe prices, are not taken seriously by
leading newspapers, several OF which deny that such a shortage exists
On this point the New York Times says:
The editor OF a trade paper has written to the Times to say that
there is a pronounced shortage OF leather as compared with conditions
existing before the war He states that during the first of the "a the
exports OF leather and shoes increased about $1OOOO0M0' This is given
IS n OF the factors. Now, as a matter of fact, there ws no such in
crease. Exports of leather and leather manufactures for the years ended
August l, 1914. and August l., 1915, we're respectively s55O536S3 and $40,
S03535, the difference being $65749852.
in qualities as it does in values. the latter having gone up decidedly n the
war contracts. The TACT still remains, as has been shown, that the i'm
ports of hides and skins have increased greatly and that the bulk of the
leather exported, either a leather or as boots and shoes or saddlery, was
not OF the kind that should affect the quantity left here for making into
shoes such as are worn by the people of this country

FORTUNES IN OLD BOOKS

The discovery recently of a copy of the vey rare first iolos' Of
the plays of Shakespeare in the library of the Earl of Dudley at Whitley
Court, Warwickshire, a book 10y worth $4,000. added another to those
romantic instances of the finding OF literary treasure trove.
A boy, while rummaging about the library at Whitley Court came
across the book, and its resemblance to the in the British Museum
caused him to beg that the book be sent up to a firm of book dealers in
London.
A book buyer of discerning eye wa turning YER the contents of a
barrow in a by-street of London. He found two Insignificant, dusty
looking old books which he purchased for on penny each. One was a
first edition of "Bradshawis Railway Guide" and the other a seventeenth
century work-Elyots Castle of Health" Each realized $3.50 at
auction.
1t was sheer chance in the cae of the Mazarin Bible that saved it
from the waste heap. When the late Marquis of LnHthgow's library

NO RIGHT TO BE COMFORTABLE

Women demand equal rights with men, writes a grouchy Kansas
editor. What does a woman have to wear during the oppressive dog
days? One low-necked, sleeveless, mosquito netting gown; III pair silk
stockings; one pair slippers. That's all What does a man yea during
said dog days? One coat; ne vest; n pair trousers; ne shirt with
starched collar; ne pair socks; III pair shoes; me union suit; hat;
one pair suspenders; ne belt; necktie. If he takes his coat off in
a hot restaurant he is thrown out. If he takes his collar off he's a brute.
If he wore his trousers slit up to the knee, he would be sent to the in
sane asylum. Equal rights! Huh

plan proposed by Secretary Garrison
committee members thought, was too
definite in many respects.
For liberalization Of the National
Guard the bill adopts with n inerous
notifications the plan proposed ny the
National Guard association. The rate
of pay for officers, however, was set
at $500 year for all Of the rank OF
captain or above; $500 for first lieu
tenant and certain specified staff Of
ficers, and $3.50 for second lleutenants
Enlisted men would receive pay on the
basis of on-fourth Of the regular army
pay and would contract on enlistment
to serve the United States In time OF
war. The enlistment period is fixed at
six years, three with the colors ana
three In reserve. ... ...
The National Guard provisions Of
the bill probably would be substituted
by the house provisions when the two
bills reach conference. The senate
committee gave particular attention
to the regular army features, while
the house made the federaliza alton pro

that the oath be changed so as to
