A GREAT SOCIAL PROBLEM.
70 Get Men Rightly to Adjust Them
EeIvea to All Other Men.

Our great social problem is how to
make the man at the bottom loom SO
large and sc1.A so important that all
other men will cease to think of him as
a thing and t-Cat him as a person.
The real so i'll problem out of which
other minor problems grow and of
which they are really only aggravated
symptoms is tic world old problem Of
the right relation between persons.
This is a Fundamental issue and to
solve it would solve all these minor
manifestations The friendly relation
of men is the nrore not alone the gist
of the race ipblem, but it is the gist
Of all social lobiems.
The age lon, struggle has been how
to get men rightly to adjust themselves
to all other men.
Right adjustment to other men would
mean in the economic realm that no
capitalist woG,d want to beat down
below living wage the laborer who
made production possible. 1t would
mean that no laborer would want more
wages and shorter hours than the con-
dition of production would stand.
Right adjustment between men would
mean that no landlord would be will
ing to live easy off rents of houses
which made health and happiness i'm
possible to the occupant. 1t would
mean In return that no tenant would
demand more than that for which he
gave just return, and he would pro-
tect the interest of his landlord as he
would protect his own interest.
Right adjustment would mean in all
walks of life the rule of right, not the
rule of might.-Southern Workman.

Leftover Sandwiches.

Sometimes after party there are
sandwiches left over. Here is an excel
lent way Of using them up: Make a
batter exactly like you use for pan
cakes and add to it either sugar or
salt, according to whether the sand
witches are sweet or savory. Then
each sandwich is dipped in the batter
and fried till a golden brown in fat
from which faint blush smoke is ris-
ing. No matter how dry they are they
are delicious done in this way.

There are several species of bower
birds. chief among them the Satin and
the Newton. The Satin bower bird is
the best known. When the bowers
were first discovered it was supposed
that they were playhouses built by the
native children, but as a matter of fact
they are the dance halls of birdland.
The nests are built In the trees and
have no connection with the play
houses. The male birds build these lat
ter and gather every bright and shin

entrance to the bower. When it is com

But we never cruelty desert a faith

the white spot appears we try to tie it

then we pasture it back somewhere on
