THE MELTING POT
"Come Take Pot Luck With Us"
THE MANIC RE LADY.
BY William 4. Kirk.

The lights looked pretty dim on
Broadway last night" said the Man

after the show we walked along the
old White Way for about 10 blocks,
trying 70 imagine that il was the old
Broadway Of them dear. dead years
which has went beyond recall l
couldn't imagine il at all, and even
Wilfred. who has got a perfectly
grand imagination, had a hard time
thinking il was the same old street. -
Shutting out them lights on
Broadway won't MAKE much differ

"Over in the Bronx. where we live.
there is plenty Of light 10 suit us,

It's a change that will mean more
change in their pockets. that's sure
"Wilfred says a great poem should
be wrote about dimming the lights. -
said the Manicure Lady. He start
ed one that went:
The lights Of Broadway are no
more
And darkness now has came
To where them gambling gents Of
yOre
Steered suckers to a game.
Them flags are furled and yet the
world
Moves on about the same"
He said il all right" agreed the
Head Barber. The great beauty
about doing without things is find
ing out how easy il is to GO without
them. That's the great thing gents
and ladies on this here earth is all
the time finding out. Now I guess a
lot of them FOUNDERS Will go home
nights and get their regular sleep"

thing after all" said the Manicure
Lady. Some Of the incest folks I
know, George, will be better off for

worse guys than you. and l see 'em

speaking them, and he was saying
the other night that a mans life is

Il think he was rapping az

HOROSCOPE
Saturday, Jan. IL, 1918.

This is a most lucky day, accord
ing to the reading of astroiogers.
The sun, Mercury and Jupiter all
rule strongly for good.
While this confguration prevails
commercial enterprises of every
sort should benefit greatly. 1t is a
time for initiative and for large
ventures.
AS the law Of extremes will be
more evident in its manifestations
than ever before, scandals will de-
yelop from large contracts in which
great profits are realized and one
OF these appears TO be foreshadow-
ed in the south.
Just as the new era viii bring a
greater appreciation Of the value of
children and the rights OF child
hood, so with its dawning labor will
attain a new sort of power unfore-
seen by all except a few with far
vision. the seers declare.
This day should be most auspic-
ious for those who seek appoint
ments. especially in Chicago and
Denver. two cities that come under
fortunate rule.
It is a remarkable sway for pub
LEFTY and advertising. Honors and
fame Ior a publisher are proph-
esied. This man will belong TO one
Of the smaller cities.
This is held 10 be a lucky sway
for contracts, leases and agree
ments OF every sort.
Lawyers are again subject to the
most promising leading. and new
opportunities for success will open
in the changed order OF things,

KEEPING YOURSELF BRIGHT

KEEPING YOURSELF BRIGHT
Are you making any effort TO
keep young and be appreciative or
are you drifting along into sour old
age?
You know you are getting cranky
and irritable; at times you are
ashamed of yourself and resolve to
overcome these disagreeable ten
denotes, but fail.
Do you realize this is a positive
weakness on your part?
Oh, yes, II is.
To yourself you argue that at
your age you should be firm, but
frmness in this sense does not mean
arbitrary.
At this rate and your present
course it will not be, long before
there will be little in this world OF
pleasure for you or those who sur
round you.
Isn't it foolish 10 shut your heart
to all the happiness there is in the
world just because a few years more
will make your allotted earth
span?
Why not keep your spirits
young?
Interest maintains in affairs and
conditions and people Of the pres
ent generation will give you light
er heart and make you a more vel
come associate among your fellow
beings.
Life IS not measured by years, but
by outlook.
Keep yours bright.

Since the second Morocco crisis

ever-recurring catchword in the
Pan-German society's organ, and the
German world 'concerns'-the pop
ular word for fnterests'-had been
the dominant subject. From the
early part of 1914 the leader of the
Pam German propaganda, DR.. Rit-
ter, who was dismissed shortly be-
fore the war, travelled about making
speeches dealing with the world
war. in which, following a we'll
known pattern, the splendors of
war and the immortality of peace
were presented and the absolute
necessity of war for the realization
of German world ambitions was set
forth" Qdem, p. 676. See note,
