II you had all the land and gold
IT'S possible for man to hold
And II on top OF that could claim
The greatest sum of earthly fame
Yet had TO live from day 10 day
Where never human came your wAy
You trade the gold you had to speGd
To hear the greeting Of a friend.
IT'S friends alone that make nv rich
Not marble husts IN glory's niche
Not money, wisdom. strength or skin
with happiness our lives can I'm.
with all Of these We Etill should sigh
II never neighbor happened by
And no one shared from sun to sun
The honors that our work has won.
For fame is born of others lips
Friends pour the wine the victor sips:
And friends make rich the yellow goli
By which all earthly wealth E told.
Possession nothing means unless.
We share the JOYS that We possess.
Paste Is the brightest gem We own
II We must know It's charm alone,
What Joy could come from splendid deed
That no one ever cheers or heodsi
Fame would be empty and absurd,
II of IL no one ever heard
The RICHEST man without friend,
Is pCor with all he has 10 spend.
Alone. with all that could be had.
A human being would be sad
Not in ourselves does fortune lie.
Nor In the things that gold can buy;
The words Of praise thot please US well
The lips of other men must tell
And honor, on which Joy depends,
ls but the verdict OF our friends.
All happiness that man can know
The friends about hun must bestow

HOW TO MEASURE HUMIDITY
Device That Is Satisfactory conslsts
OF Combination of Two Their.
moneters and Vessel OF Water.

You do not have to invest in q ba-
rometer, or expend your personal mois-
ture by hUrrying TO the nearest sob
eeryatory." whether at q drug store or
ar q weather bureau, to ascertain the
degree OF humidity. From Power one
gets this hint:
THE instrument in the weather bu-
reau kiosk marked relative humidity
IS supposed to show the percentage by
weight Of water vapor in the air. 100
per cent being when the atm> phere
can hold no more in the form of steam.
The maximum weight of steam that
the atmosphere is capable Of holding
is dependent on and increases with an
increase of the temperature. The ae-
ton OF this hydrometer depends on the
expansion and contraction In length Of
a hair or fiber as 1t increases or de-
creases in moisture content.
"AnothY device for measuring the
relative humidity Is n combination con-
sisting Of two ordinary thermometers,
n having the bulb covered with a wet
cloth or n wick extending into a ves-
sci of water. In the use of this in
strument the wet-bulb and the dry
bulb temperatures are taken. II they
nre the same, the humidity Is 100 per
cent, but when there Is a difference It
is necessary to consult tables In order
TO obtain the relative humidity"

RED CROSS SAVES SOLDIERS
Organization Acts on Theory That II
Is Better to Heal Wounded Fight
er Than TO Pension His Family.

Long ago some ~ remarked that an
ounce of t0fTy Is worth a ton Of ept.
taphS. A 10-cent bunch of violets to
the living outwelghs q $50 funeral
wreath for the dead.
That's the motto OF the Red Cross,
says a writer In the Philadelphia
Ledger. 1t Is much cheaper to soothe
and heal a wounded soldier than to
pension his family.
Erecting monuments at Gettysburg
and Valley Forge is well enough fifty
OF a hundred years after the events,
but a dollar for the stricken soldier
equals q hundred dollars In marble
over his body.
Red Cross money Is m insurance
policy. What does 1t insure against?
Philadelphia's $4,000. 600 will surely
preserve scores of lives. SO 1t insures
against death Itself. which is some
thing an ordinary insurance policy
does not do.
Wipe out Philadeiphta's hospitals
and how many more persons will die
every year? Doctors tell me the num-
Der would be many hundred.
Deprive the battle front of hospital
facilities and the death rate will jump
enormously. So your Red Cross dollar
Is ont upon Il practical errand-not a
sentimental, sissy journey.
IT Is certain to be invested In the
life of a liberty soldier. which Is a
good enough investment for me.
