DANCE FOR SERVICE MEN
Successful Affair at Recreation Rooms
Last Night

No service men who enjoyed the
hospitality of the committee in charge
of the Recreation Rooms for Soldiers
Sailors and Marines can soon forget
the delightful dance last evening.
The armory was made most attrac'
tive and inviting, the music was the
very best, and the informality of the
occasion lent additional charm and
pleasure.
The chaperones were untirins in
their efforts TO see that the service
men were made to feel at home, and
that each woman on the committee
felt a special interest in some moth
er's boy far from home. Many young
girls of the city were in attendance
and through the chaperones were
made acquainted with the service
men who were their partners in the
dance.
During the evening ice cream cones
we're served with small cookies. The
affair was very well managed and was
success in even minor details.

that man must hove himself in order
TO achieve anything at all in this
world, and that the attempt to love

his world? That is just what he is

And he does it in two ways: The
first is by his acquisrhyeness, his pow

or power Of eloquence, or the serenity
of lofty thought. The second is by rs

1t must be supplied with fuel, and the
quantity of fuel must be in proportion

a scientist. In like manner, also, man

we call food; and, like the engine, the
person who has to perform greater

greater supply of food. Besides, the
human engine does not stop for a sec

foundest sleep heart and lungs are I'M

lows that as long as we live we are
compelled to supply the body with ever

Children Operate Furnaces.

A certain element Of romance in steel
making is suggested in an account re-
ceived from England Of the operation
Of a two-ton electric steel furnace at
Sheffield, says the Scientific American.
The furnace is entirely hand operated
through a control worked in conjunc-
ton with recording ammeters; but the
chief point is the size Of the operator.
A boy Of fourteen or fifteen runs the
furnace constantly, and other furnaces
Of this particular type are now OPP
Grated in the same manner BY girls,
owing to the scarcity Of male labor.
The whole is an object lesson in the
steadiness and simplicity Of the new
type OF steel-making furnace. Such
results would have been ridicuIed only
a few years ago..

There are a large number of varie-

WHEN ONE MAKES MISTAKES
Extenuating Circumstances Are usu-
ally Cited as Excuse for the Ma
lority of Blunders.

The average fair-minded man adj
mits that he makes mistakes at times
but, and there always is the extern
uating but when we seek to ex-
cuse our failures, he believes, even if
unconsciously, that the mistakes that
others make are bigger mistakes than
his, says the Charleston News and
Courier Deep down in our hearts the
roots of self-complacency strike-so
deep, in fact, that with most of us
it is useless to try and pub them out
At those rare times, when we see
ourselves as others see us, when we
begin to understand that we are at
fault to a larger degree than the other
man, we nay make an honest effort
to overcome the disposition to yield
TO self-satisfaction, but unless we
work hard and patiently and perse-
veringly we VIII find ourselves forever
falling back into the old habit. It is
SO easy to criticize something that
another person does that fails TO meet
our approval. and so entirely natural
to think that we would never be
guilty Of a like weakness.
We might have made mistake, we
argue, but we would have discovered
the error in time to correct it, and
certainly we never would have blum
dered to the extent Of our neighbor
How do we know what we would have
done In similar circumstances, how
ever, and why should we assume po-
sition of superiority which in truth
we are not entitled to assume? Tt is
enough for us to concern ourselves
with out own failures, our own mis-
takes, our own shortcomings, and 10
leave to others the readjustment of
their own lives.
