Ray w. Collins, the former Univer-
sity of Vermont star, who has been
one of the pitchers with the Boston
American baseball team the past six
years, announces his voluntary retire
ment from the game, although he was
offered a contract for this year at a
large salary. Collins has been a credit
to the game. not only in his success
full work, but as a clean player and a
gentleman ON and off the field. He
has been one of the prominent officials
of the Baseball Players fraternity,
but in quitting the game he will prob
ably drop also from activity in this
organization. Collins is only % years
old and his retirement calls attention
again to the fact that professional
baseball does not offer a career to am
bilious young men. The crack play
err in his prime earns big money, but
frequently his work on the diamond
is ended at the period of life when
men in professions and business are
entering upon the largest measure of
usefulness and earning capacity.

Fl A PIP NE S S

Happiness is state Of bliss which
is sometimes influenced by the mind
and sometimes by the stomach. The
savage tribes of darkest Africa de-
pend entirely upon the stomach for
their happiness, and are never 81
pleased as when a toothsome mission
airy strays into their midst and sup.
plies them with tracts and soup bones
Civilized man, however, secures happi-
ness by leading his mind away from
people he owes and fastening it upon
book accounts that will stand the
shrink test.
Happiness is not sold at the depart
ment store or quoted on the stock
market, which prevents so many peo-
pie from keeping a supply on hand.
How many times has it happened that
a man who only lacked a big, navy
blue automobile to make him happy
secured one by trading in his home.
and shortly after was thrown through
a rain-vision windshield into the clam
my embrace of a barbed-wire fence.
This country is full of married men
who were formerly happy and CAV,

Dispatches from London admit that
another decisive stage in the Balkan
has been reached, with Mon
tenegro now following Serbia in vir-
tual absorption by the Teutonic in
vaders. 1t is another case of fatal de,
lay on the part of the entente forces
in coming to the aid of an ally-de-
lay which almost annihilated Belgium
and which may prove to have wiped
out Serbia as an autonomous entity.
Present indications are that King
Nicholas will not attempt to continue
the unequal struggle, but will yield to
such terms of near-peaee as the in-
vaders may dictate; Montenegro be

ironclad agreement of the entente al
lies concerning separate peace, since
she is not a signatory of that agree

Why Does Coal Cost More?
(Woonsocket, R. l., Call.)

The American fuel situation has
reached crisis in cost There are, of
course, a great many families that can
continue to buy enough coal to keep
warm even if the price is raised few
notches higher. The well-to-do can
stand the gaff, and the moderately
TODD middle class can sacrifice in some
other direction and still buy as much
anthracite as they really need. But
the poorer placed of the middle class
and the vast population known as the
poor can no longer afford to buy coal
enough to keep warm. They must de-
pend upon gas, kerosene and other in
convenient sources of heat Coal has
passed beyond their reach and gone to
join prime beefsteak, probably for
ever.
This is either an anomalous situation,
or it is not. Lest great wrong is be-
ing done the question should not be
dropped with railing at misfortune.
The price goes steadily up; it does
not come down. Is the reason econo-
mic, or is it artificial or III other words,
greed?
Nobody has proved that a scarcity
of coal exists. The producers do not
tell US that they are scraping the bot

Franklin d. Lane, secretary of the
interior, is one of the cabinet officials
who is warmly praised for his work.
Two important measures which he
championed have already heen passed
III congress-the water power devel-
opment bill and the bill making 700,-
100000 acres Of public land available
Tor lease by private interests. 1t is
also expected that the 64O-aere home
stead bill which he advocated will be
given favorable consideration. Mr..
Lane is a Democrat, but he was
brought into prominence under a Re
publican administration, President
Roosevelt having appointed him a
member of the interstate commerce
commission.

a marriage license, a Prince Albert
coat and a secondhand cook stove.
Riches do not always bring happi-
ness, either. There was probably more
happiness to the square inch in this
country when people were compelled
to live several miles apart and ride
IN plain, unvarnished buekboards than
there is now, when our population is
divided into two classes-those who
have money to loan and those who de
sire TO borrow it. People live too close
together nowadays TO be real happy
If they would spread out more and
lose interest in what is going on in
the next house to the right, we would
all be happier and live better, purer
lives
Happiness is often banished bv
some thoughtless, unfeeling act on
the part Of relative or trusted friend
For instance, business man NAV come
home at night glowing with happiness
and boar frost, and find that during
the day his wife has departed for
South America with hook-ncsed
chauffeur, leaving nothing behind but
sad memories and unpaid lingerie
bills. There would be more happiness
IN this world if people would get up
close enough TO the Golden Rule t.
see how it acts.
