My friends, but two things are hap

HELPS TO HAPPINESS.
BY n. ADDINGToN BRUCE.
Copyright. 1917.)

THE man who would be truly
happy" said Plato long ago. should
not study to enlarge his estate, but 70
contract his desires"
Or. as another philosopher of happi-
ness has put 1T:
That is but slippery happiness
away"
these truths. For even today, after
thousands of years Of human expert
ence, many there be who 'foolishly iden-
tify happiness with material wealth.
They think that in dollars there IL
some magic. some open sesame to the
wonderful palace OF happiness.
Now. rich men may undoubtedly be
happy. Many rich men have been
happy. But they never have been
happy because of their riches
When they have been happy ii 10
because. Notwithstanding concentration
of effort on the amassing of wealth,
they have miraculously kept a saving
sense of the Importance of using their
wealth for the benefit of other people.
To labor for the good of others fs.
In truth. the surest of all helps to the
winning Of happiness. To labor for
knowing truly happy day.
One Of the happiest persons I have
ever known was a frail little old WON.
du' hSE 1oTlH ocHtp ner un8efS Rnarl06
with rheumatism.
There was not a day when she WA
free from pain. She had been crippled
for years.
Yet SO intent was she on making
others happy, so great was her delight
in seeing others happy. that unhappi-
ness and she were strangers despite
her physical sufferings.
Still. health of body is a real helm
to happiness. and one not to be lightly
regarded.
For. obviously. 1t is easier to be han.
ply when we are well than when in
poor health.
Wherefore the seeker after happi-
ness will wisely try to preserve his
health by leading a hygienic life.
He will eat enough. but not too much.
He will regularly exercise in the open
air. He will take sufficient sleep. And
he will work
Idleness is equally a foe to health
and to happiness. Chronic idlers, ono
and all. will sadly testify to the truth
of this.
But the work done must not be from
wholly selfish motives. Underlying II.
animating it. must be the ideal of serv-
ice.
Otherwise you may be one of the
most Industrious persons in the world,
yet at the same time one of the un-
happiest.
Always the basic law of happiness
remains the same. Hans Andersen OF
pleasant memory stated 1t truly and
tersely when he declared:
ITO be Of use in the world is the only
way to be happy"

EFFORT TO COUNTERFEIT /
M|SCH|EVOUS Reports
Harvey D. Gibson Assures Woma4
Knitters That Soldiers and
Sailors Need Sweaters.

Though not traced definitely to German
propaganda, tho report has been 0EOo-
lated throughout tho country that the
knitting Of sweaters and other garments
for soldiers was useless labor: that the
sweaters were not needed and that the
soldiers didn't want them Tho result has
been perpiexity among loyal women and
a flood of inquiries to the national head
quarters here of tho American Red CrosA
In order to counteract the mischie~ous
reports Harvey d. Gibson. general man
ager Of the Red Cross, has authorised ne
following statement:
"a great number Of inquiries af0 beng
received by the Red Cross from woman
knitters throughout the United States -
to whether they should discontinue knit
ting.
Policy Of the Red Cross.
The Red Cross, therefore. desires 70
place before the women OF this country
its conception of the knitting situation AZ
is well known. it is the policy OF the Reo
Cross to supplement, so far as IT has me
power. the efforts Of the Army and Navy
in conserving the health and comfort OF
our soldiers and sailors. either in this
country or abroad.
"Sweaters and other knitted articles
are designed primarily for warmth.
Therefore. 1t must follow that when
there Is an almost universal demand on
the part of our soldiers and sailors Tor
sweaters and other knitted articles, the
demand is a real one. Such articles,
therefore, can only be classed as equip
ment. supplementary though they may
be. to that furnished by the Army and
Navy. And they undoubtedly constitute
equipment that will add greatly to the
health and comfort of our men under
conditions generally met with.
THE Red Cross knows that the sol.
diers and sailors want sweaters ana
other knitted articles. These goods can
be obtained from the Red Cross In sim
gle garments only upon individual re-
quest, or il in bulk, then upon the re-
quest Of a commanding officer.
Obliged to Buy $4,000 Sweaters.
How great the need IL is best evil
denced by the fact that in addition to
the hundreds of thousands of knitted
articles produced by our Red Cross
chapters In the last few months We
have been compelled to purchase $4,000
extra sweaters alone to meet the insist
emit demand made upon us by our men
for them. We are sorry that we had to
do any purchasing at all, because We
know how much the soldiers and sailors
| of this country prefer the sweaters and
other articles knitted by the women Of
this country.
ut may be understood, further, that
| in addition to the demands of our Army
and Navy we have very urgent de.
mands from commissions abroad for
like articles for destitute civilian popu-
lations men, women and children
who. II not actually homeless. are very
| scantily clad and usually without fuel.
in this cold weather, to warm their
houses.
1T is hoped that this general state
ment will satisfy the women of this
country who have been devoting all
their possible time to knitting for our
men. We cannot too strongly urge all
| women who are now knitting to keep
on knitting"

Hoover Denies Any Final
Plans HnUe Been Made
AS to Wheat Control

Washington. juno IS. Mr. Hoover
was much disturbed to-day by the dis
patches from Chicago which stated it
was the intention Of the food admins
tration 70 take over control of all the
wheat in the country. thereby prohibit
ing all trading in wheat futures. Mr..
Hoover said:
Il regret that any statement should
be issued as to matters discussed in
preliminary conference held between
ourselves and the various trades in the
country.
eft is obvious that a present there is
no plan that can be settled b. the food
administration and that all discussions
which have been necessary are Of an
entirely tentative order and may be
subject 10 radical change at any time.
During these discussions the sub
jects have been necessarily approached
from many angles, and what method
may be adopted cannot be determined
until the food administration has been
set UP by Congress and adequate con-
siderstion given to every complexion

U-Boats Equipped
With Knives to Cut
Through Steel Nets
Captain of Torpedoed Ship
Sketches New Device

Base Of the American Flotilla in
British Waters, June 2s The captain
Of torpedoed merchantmen has
turned over 10 the naval authorities
here a sketch Of a new type of German
submarine equipped with a wire-cutting
device designed to release it from nets.
The sketch shows several strands Of
stout steel hawsers stretched from the
bow through the coming tower to the
stern. Attached to these is series Of
heavy, circular knives, foot in diam
eter. and placed about a yard apart.
The captain made the drawing while
in a small boat after his ship had been
torpedoed. He had been shelled and
torpedoed in two other ships. but on
neither Of those occasions had he no
ticed anything new in the type of the
German diving boats. While he was not
close enough to the last submarine TO
examine infinitely the addition 70 its
upper works. he was able to see plainly
enough to make a good sketch.
The theory OF the captain Is that n
boat so equipped would have hope Of
being able to cut It's way through any
steel nets in which II might become en-
meshed
