Work.
There is nothing but what's bearable

There is nothing but what's bearable,
as long as man can work. The nature
Of things don't change, though It seems
as II ones life was nothing but change.
That the square of four is sixteen, and
you must lengthen your lever in pro-
portion to your weight, is as true
when a mans miserable as when he's
happy; and the best Of working is. 1t
gives you a good grip-hold Of things
outside your own lot.-George Eliot.

Flowers.

Flowers are perhaps the most effec.
tive Of the many little finishing

arranged by the hands Of clever dec
orator, but it takes the little finishing
touches. the seemingly unimportant
tiny things, done by the woman who
loves and exists for her home and ex-
presses her soul in her surroundings
to make the house lovable.-Exchange

mission Will Be Here
Within Ten Days.

Washington, April 11--Assembly in

that a French commission composed of
officials and officers equally as dis
tinguished as the British representa- =
tives will also be In Washington on
about the same time. This commission
will be headed by M. viviani. ut pres

GENERAL COCKTAILS
TO BUILD VESSELS
Asked to Construct 1000
Wooden Ships.

Washington, April 1l-Major Gener-
al George Goethals, builder of the Pan
anna canal. was formally requested by
President Wilson today to take charge
Of the building of 1000 wooden ships
for foreign commerce.
Increase of overseas tonnage Is re-
garded as an imperative means to de-
feat the submarine campaign and keep
up the flow of supplies. Consequently
the greatest Importance is attached to
the plans of the shipping board for the
building of wooden ships which have
been approved by the president and the
Council Of National Defense.
The entire resources of available
ship building yards are to be used for
the purpose. ...z
II General Goethals undertakes the
work. he will be placed in general
charge with unlimited authority to Or
ganize the building facilities.
The shipping board has $5O,0O0, 900
at it's disposal for the construction and
purchase of ships.
During a meeting of railroad ex-
ecutives here today the question was
taken up for making arrangements so
that ships now on the great lakes and
in the coastwise trade can be utilized
for ovean- going commerce. Under such
q plan to be put into effect only as
rapidly as the railroads can provide
facilities to take the place OF the lakes
and coastwise shipping. 1t is estimated
that the present trans Atlantic tonnage
OF the United States can be trebled.

TO PASS QUICKLY
Seven-Billion-Dollar Meas
ure Introduced.

Washington, April 11.--Assurances
that the $7.0Oo,OoO.ooo war revenue
measure will pass the house quickly
and that consideration of new taxation
plans for raising part of the money will
begin Immediately were given Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary McAdoo to-
day by congressional leaders at the
capitol.
Introduction in the house of the
revenue bill, authorizing Il $5,000.O0O,-
900 bond issue and $4,000, 100000 in GER
tificates of indebtedness preceded an
unexpected visit of the president to the
capitol by a few minutes. Democratic
Leader Kitchin introduced the measure
with favorable report from the full
committee and announced that debate
on 1t will begin Friday morning. It is
hoped to pass the bill before Saturday
night and possibly on Friday.

they have pledged themselves to vote
for the measure whatever may be the
fate of their proposals.
One announcement proposed by Rep
resentative Longworth of Ohio to ex-
empt states from inheritance taxes
under the measure is expected to de-
velop much debate. Secretary McAdoo
is opposed to it. Other proposals ex-
pcctcd to be offered include one by
Representative Hill of Connecticut to
raise the interest rate on both the bond
and certificate issues from three and
a half per cent, as the bill now pro-
| poses to four per cent and another by
Representative Sloan of Nebraska to
limit the life of the bonds to 80 years
The bill would leave their tenure to the
discretion of the secretary of the
! treasury.
Little opposition is expected to the
principal feature of the $4,000, ,00O, ,0OC
bond issue or the provision that not
more than $4,000, ,OO0.O 900 from the pro.
ceeds shall be used to extend credit t.

Araentina's Position.

Washin gton. April 1l.--Without for
mally announcing abandonment of
their neutrality two moro Latin Amer
lean republics. Argentina and Costa
Rica, have given assurances of their
| moral support for the United States in
the war against Germany.
Argentina, choosing a middle course
between those OF Brazil and Chile. her
sister nations in the influential A. B. G.
trio. has notified the state department
that she recognizes the justice" OF this
country's stand against German ag-
gression. The communication contains
no intimation, however, that the Ar
Eentine authorities contemplate an ac-
| tual break with Berlin and 1t is as
| sumed here that for the present at
least neutrality will be observed.
Little Costa Rica, just emerging from
| the throes of a revolution, sent word to
her diplomatic representative here to-
| day that she endorsed the course of
President Wilson and was ready to
prove it If necessary"
| Argentinas position was defin ed in
a note reaching the state department
today In answer to the notification by
this government OF a state OF war. Tho
communication Is regarded here as de-
fining n status just short of an open
break. Diplomats and state depart
ment officials believe It would have
