Small Bites At a Big Problem
Waste food and you help the
enemy.
Plan the meals to come out
even, if possible. Thrift in food
is nowadays a sign of best citi-
zenship.
No one would let his stomach
make a Stacker out of him. En-
list your appetite, sign the food
pledge, and keep that pledge.
Do you believe that this ma
ton should win the war; and are
you willing to help win it? Then
tell them so in Washington, over
your signature, on a food-pledge
card.
Our president says that we
must not only enlist an army,
but we must enlist a nation. The
food pledge card makes every
home-maker a part of the gov
ernment's food saving forces.

domains to interest himself In the
troubles of his cupbearer. Another
instance of God working out things
in his own way. In this We have the
lesson that human sympathy Will or
dinarly prove q more potent weapon
for conquest than either force or dis
play. No Grafton that Nehemiah might
have prepared could have equaled in
effectiveness the sincere and unvar-
nished relation of the truth. Sincerity
is the cornerstone of oratory anyway.
We may admire q mans command of
language and talk about his mag
netism, but what he says has little
force and effect unless we are per-
suaded he really means what he says.
Bullet us not make the mistake Of
thinking that sorrowful faces are 60
Ing to win us favors which will be de-
MED the frivolous and unconcerned.
The world is full enough of sorrow.
Each man has his share to bear with
in the secrecy of his soul. Everybody
is looking for something to tighten
the gloom, and the habitual human
stormcloud has few friends. People
want to be shown the bright side of
things. II they cannot be genuinely
cheered, they turn to the light and
frivolous as q relief from too much
seriousness. But Nenefnldn ndu Deen
habitually cheerful, and therefore the
sorrow which showed in spite of,him-
self attracted the natural human SYM
pathy of the ruler in spite of the
glamor and dignity of his throne.
When a cheerful man is sad we know
there must be something serious the
matter. But with the man who is ac-
customed to carrying q long face, we
soon get to disregard him and often
to despise him-for, in the first place
such people are usually more cons
cerned about their own personal feel
ings than about any real cause for
sympathy. People In this world usu-
ally get what they are looking for, If
not always what they deserve. Every
rose has its thorn and II we hunt for
II We can easily find II. Every bless
Ing has a drawback of some kind and
we may easily be dissatisfied with any
good thing II We strive to emphasize
Its faults instead of rejoicing in its
good qualities. One of the main things
we need to pray for is that the Lord
may give us a disposition to look for
the bright side and only concern our
selves with the dark when II is
provident to forestall the trouble. And
the man with the sunny disposition
has less trouble with his troubles than
anybody else. And let us not forget
that all the ingenuity Of man exerted
for any purpose is futile and of little
effect unless the foundation of his
confidence is the promise of Almighty
God: ASK, and 1t shall be given you. =.

a constant stream Of traffic passes in
and out of the harbor, which today
is closed, except for q narrow chan
mel where one ship may pass at time.
1t is like filling or emptying a bottle
drop at time. Each ship entering
port is scrutinized. The net across the
Narrows Is patroled by motor boats.
Promptly at sunset the net is drawn
and the harbor remains closed until
morning.
The harbor squad proper consisting
of three swift revenue cutters oper-
ates above the Narrows, and It's func-
tions are separate from those of the
patrol boats at the harbor's mouth.
The inspectors do not accept as an
excuse ignorance of the law. A cap
tain from any part of the world must
be familiar with the law. The traffic
officer can tell at a glance If ship is
moving along the specified channel or
keeping her alignment in the public
anchorages. Despite the size OF the
harbor, anchorages must be allotted
with the utmost economy. The average
length OF merchant ships anchored
here Is four hundred feet; anchor
chains may be half this length, or
more. AS the ship swings at anchor
1t describes a circle whose diameter Is
twice the length of the ship, plus twice
the length of the anchor chain. In
laying out these anchorages and plac-
ing the ships series of great circles
must be laid down, each with an aver
age diameter of about one thousand
feet. 1t requires nice calculation to
place even five such ships to a mile.
The anchorages have been mapped
with great care. There are 2S of them
with definite boundaries and so dis
tributed that vessel may anchor as
