TAKE CHANCE ON HAPPINESS
Grasp the Mood ~ Il Passes and Join
the Great Throng Wearing Smiling
Cour tenanees.

We were coming home from q Dime,
party together, my friend and I. II
was late at night and rather rainy
and as we sat together in the damp
almost empty trolley car, my friend
spoke very suddenly and seriously
writes Margaret q. Sangster In the
Christian Herald.
Just now" she said, 1--WE a chance
to be very happy. But I'm almost
afraid to take It'll"
The rain beat, in a futile manner
against the car windows. I listened to
1t for moment before spoke.
"Why7" I questioned at last-"why
are you afraid to take your chance-to
be happy7"
Because" answered my friend, and
her eyes looked far away-past the car
and the rain, even-"because I'm
afraid that 1t won't last ~
When 1t Is autumn, and the leaves
are crimson and gold-colored and very
beautiful. we know, even as we admire
them, that they will be brown and
withered some day. But that does not
keep us from loving their glorious col
ors.
It's like that, too with flowers, and
springtime. and the blue sky of sum-
mer. We know that the flowers will
fade away and that springtime will go
and that there will be winter storm
clouds where there were once sparkles
Of sun.
And so this is the answer to nv
friend and to other friends of mine:
Never be afraid to grasp at happi-
ness because it may not last. For hap
piness Is as beautiful as the flowers
OF spring and the sky of summer and
the vivid leaves Of autumn. And even
though 1t might not last, happiness is
too beautiful to pass by with never a
glance.
And then. as the philosopher said
and as we know, don't be sure, as you
take your chance at happiness, that it
VIII not stay. Look around your circle
of friends, look at your business asso-
ciates, look at the casual crowds that
you pass every day and you'll see that
the average of happy faces is rather
high. You'll see more smiles, think,
than frowns; more merry faces than
sad ones!
Don't be afraid to take q chance Mt
happiness because you fear that 1t is
too beautiful to last. Take your
chance, instead, arguing that happiness
Is too beautiful not to lastl

CARRIES BIG WEDDING FEAST
Father Remembers His Days Of Dc.
spalr When He Invites Guests for
the Sumptuous Repast.

Twenty years ago Max Gootschneider
landed in New York with slim young
wife, baby girl that could just toddle,
$50 in money and hopeful disposition.
The first few weeks in the strange
America was period of such forlorn
and homesick misery that Max never
forgot them.
And SO, when Max and Mrs. Max,
no longer slim, sat in their fine house
discussing the details Of a celebration
which might be suitable to signallze
the engagement of the only daughter
Of prosperous furrier to marry a rich
young diamond merchant, Max had
an idea, says the Cincinnati Times
Star.
Mamma" he said, "you remember
when we landed in New York-you
and Carrie, our baby, and me? You
remember how 1t was for US then
Well. we shall give feast for our
daughter, Carrie, and her young man,
but we viii give it to the people who
are now like we were then. Our
friends are happy. They are not hun
cry. They are not sorrowful because
there is no one to cheer them up. They
do not need feast like the poor peo-
pie that have come from the old coun-
try. Those are the people who shall
enjoy our Carries wedding feast"
And so the feast was given, away
down in East Broadway. in the build
Ing which is occupied by the Hebrew
Immigrants Sheltering Aid society,
and which overfiows nowadays with
hundreds Of MISREPRESENTATION people
from the countries at war in Europe.
There was room where $50 per-
sons could eat at once. AS soon as one
crowd Of $50 had finished, another
came in. There We're no invitations
and no red tape. Max and Mrs. Max
and the pretty Carrie and her proud
husband-to-be stood at the door and
smilingly welcomed all who came.
There was chicken and duck and goose
and gefllite fish. And everyone was
welcome to all of everything.
Even the kids, who stealthily pill
fered goodies were urged to pilfer
more. And the feast brought Joy and
good cheer to thousand people who
are homeless in strange land. And
the spirit Of kindness so permeated
it all that Mamma Gootschneider, now
and then, was compelled to wipe away
a sympathetic tear. And after it was
all over, Papa Gootschneider declared
that his undying regret would be that
he had only one daughter to give
wedding feast for.

Defect in Workmen's Compensation
Act Pointed Out by National In
dustriaI Conference Board.

That there is a distinct lack of uni
formity in workmen's compensation
laws in this country is emphasized by
the national industrial conference
board, a cooperative body composed
of representatives of national indus
trial associations, organized to provide
information on matters that affect the
Industrial development Of the nation.
In summary of a report on the legal
phase of wOrkmen's compensation acts
in the United States, the board says:
More than tWo-thirds Of the en-
ployers of this country are now in
cluded under compensation laws of
one sort or another. There is, how
ever, no uniform basis for determining
just what employees or classes of en-
ployees shall be included In numer-
GUS industries, particularly agricul-
ture, compensation acts do not apply
to the small employer. The effect of
this is, of course, to exclude a consid-
cradle proportion of the country's
workers from the benefits of work.
mems compensation. Domestic and
casual labor is usually excluded.
SIN eight states workmen's compen-
sation acts are compulsory upon the
employer. In "a states he has an
election, but if he does not accept he
forfeits some or all of his common law
defenses in any action for negligence.
In % states the employee likewise has
an option; in Texas he is bound by
his employers choice. In Arizona
compensation is compulsory for the
employer but not for the employee.
"Neither employer nor employee may
raise objections on the others behalf;
they cannot attack the validity of an
act which affects the right Of the other
party but not their own.
'In % states the employer affected
by compensation acts must either in
sure his liability or demonstrate his
financial capacity for self-insurance.
In certain states contribution to a
state insurance fund is obligatory. In
all cases the employer is primarily
liable for the payment of compensa-
ton unless he either is required or
elects to pay fixed premium into a
state Insurance fund.- His personal
liability is not relieved by insurance
with private underwriters"
Wherefore the board decides that to
secure greater uniformity in compen-
sation acts ian organized effort toward
concert of action by state boards and
commissions is essential" And it is
suggested that "the states should
promptly undertake, under expert
guidance, the establishment of a per-
manent, scientific, uniform system of
compensation statistics" that "com-
pilation of systematic and uniform ac-
cident data would exercise a powerful
influence on legislative ideas of the
relative hazard Of occupations and
permit the just extension Of the com
pensation principle to many workers
now arbitrarily excluded from its
TERMS"

The banner breaks in glory the breeze,
The trurnpets sing from all their brazen throats
chorused chant of thrilling aarmonies
The drunlbeats throb amid the ringing notes
An echo but growing echo; yes
An echo that is flung from hill to plain,
An echo that shall never grow, the less
Born from the chord that struck in vain.
The dapason of the booming guns
Blends with the shriller sounding of the cheers
Ah this had been foreheard Ky those great ones
Who planned the structure in the former years,
Who dreamed and dared and gave of wealth and life
That this great nation-song should never cease,
Who blent the surgng song of somber strife
With all the after croons OF honored peace
And so today the southland and the north
Clasp hands with their bloodbrothered east and west
And in the mighty song their lips send forth
The fulness of our faith is all expressed.
And deeper than the very deepest chord
Are the foundations laid in days agone
When for hearth and home and manhood warred--
The truths our nation has been builded on.
And higher than the farthest reach of song
That quivers in the bosom of the sky
There flames the flag of faith above the throng-
The flag whose plan and purpose cannot die.
The flag of promise floats from to sea-
The bugles shout in to the drum
And send sense of strength to you and me
From days that were, and are, and are to comet
