A TYPICAL MARCH DAY.

Thereof Anything is Idablc to Happen. never think of typical March day without thinking simultaneously of miscellaneous weather. Fl in- stance. I remember awaking one morning from Dreamland and the arms of Morpheus to see the sun streaming in my windows. The buds on the branches outside seemed fairly bursting with gladness and the joy of living. For the living buds are there ready to sprout in kinder air" feel like shouting Good morning, merry sunshine And dressing hur- : riedly I rushed for the open, and the sun was very warm. It seemed the creation had lease, there was the "beauty that thrilled me with wonder, the stiffness that filled me with peace" i, During breakfast, however, a cloud passed over friend sun, and the air was chill It felt bleak. and the air was dauk. (Ive always liked that word). And before I knew it the rain had come. But the weather never has any effect upon my spirits, and donning rubbers, raincoat, and a. Uneeda Biscuit hat, I watched for the miracle rainbow. It came as r. always does in March. for April show CTS bring May f1owers--and q rain- bow. And we marvelled and the won- der grew.
 But the sun was only teasing. and suddenly 9 gale blew up. It whistled ''YooOoooo' for the rest of the morn ing, telling strange tales, blowing about its business in real school-boy fashion.
 You probably won't believe it pos sible but the afternoon grew darker and darker. and strange as it may seem, soon heard rat-tap-tap at my window. It was hailing in a most amazing fashion. Then it showed and then 1t cleared. "The inner half of every cloud is bright and shining" And the sunset prophesied flair and warmer tomorrow"
 It was sunset and evening star. a clear cold moon. and a night for the gods omen. Adjectives fail me, but certain March and New England weather is queer. yet delightful if you can appreciate 1t. Certainly things are never what they seem-that Is for very long-in March.
 Whichever way the wind doth blow Some heart is glad to have it so, Then blow it East or blow it West, The wind that blows-that. wind is
 best.''
 The sun comes up and the sun goes
 down,
 The night then shrouds the sleeping
 town,
 But If the tempests beat. on the

 It's all in March Day.
 And Fertumners. the god of the changing year, reigns supreme. and spring is come.

This would provide for sixteen com plete and fully equipped army divi- sfons and while it is not proposed to create any additional tactical units of the National Guard, steps will be taken to fill in the gaps in the pres ent National Guard structure with cavalry. artillery, engineers and other special troops. completing the tactical organization of those forces on sound military lines.
 Staff officers regarded the plan pro- posed as the most effective that could be worked out to meet the present emergency. They regard the expan- sion of the regular army and the bringing of both that force and the present regiments of the guard to full war strength as vital, since for five months they expect to employ these agencies officers and non-commis- stoned officers can be turned out. No other way presents itself to meet the need for officers, although addi- tional steps are being planned to or- ganize new officers schools and SUD- plement the work of all military col leges and schools now turning out prospective junior officers.

fixed a rate of FIVE per cen: premium on

Envy is the unpleasant feeling | have

The most satisfactory explanation is
that il is a remnant Of the beast nature

beast only feels bad when another beast
secures what he (the first beast) wants,
whereas man, proud man has a crouch

not want at all
Envy is the shadow cast by success.
