IN FLANDERS FIELDS

IN FLANDERS flELDO
In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark place; and in the sky
The Iarks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn saw sunset glow.
Loved and were loved and now We lie
In Flanders fields
Take up quarrel with the foe
To you from falling hands throw
The tOrch-be yours to hold it high;
If We break faith with who die,
We shall not sleep, though peoples grow
In Flanders fields.
What need 1 add; what can 1 add to this
appeal?
To a glorious end the war for freedom-the
freedom of mankind from the thrall of autocracy,
from enslavement by the cruelest despotism the
world have ever known-nust and will be fought.
And every real American must and will contribute
to the winning of it.
Let tomorrow be day for heart searching as
well celebrating-a day for the forming of new
clans, the devising of new means, to render more
and more effective personal effort toward the
saving of the world from the despotism that
threatens

And having acquired friend it is important
not to lose him One way of getting rid of friend
is to expect too much of him.
You may feel he would do anything for you.
But be careful; don't ask him for favors. Just
content yourself with the pleasing belief that he
would do anything for you
Don't set traps for him. Don't say: II will
ask him to do so and so, and test his friendship.
Whosoever tempts friend is unworthy of friend
ship
Don't ask him to go out of his way to accom-
modate you. Don't presume upon his good nature.
mo one says Ed Howe, has ever done much
for me. l may have expected a great deal from
friends long ago, but l do not now. l have not
only learned that if l expect great deal of them
l will be disappointed; have learned that have
no right to expect it. Friends are like pleasant
park where you wish to go; while you may enjoy
the flowers, you must not cut them"
You will be much more likely to keep friends
if you never try to sell them anything, never have
money dealings with them, never advise them in
any matter where they may possibly lose money,
and in short eliminate the dollar entirely from
dealings with them.
Another pretty sure method of losing friends is
to strive to improve them. Do all your uplit work
with your enemies. Take for friends those who
suit you just they are.

THOSE WOMEN IN WHITE

Confidential Correspondence from the Devil to

Dear Wilhelm
Here's something we've got to watch close.
Women all the United States going
around dressed in white working every minute
rolling bandages and collecting funds. Women
who have always gone off to summer resorts
this time of year staying in the cities and
swarming into hot crowded rooms to cut and
and pack. They flock down to railway sta
tiOns to cheer the soldiers the trains and
give them food and drink-no matter what time
of night.
A whole lot of these women have escaped

Wilhelm, they are making amazing effort
at it.
And that's why the American people
pouring out their dollars to back them. They
know where the money goes and have quit be-
lieVing what started about waste and graft.
In the United States it's got anyone would

TRAVELETTE
BY Niksah
ONE-MlLE BRIDGE

The Susquehanna is a giant of river and it
takes the longest stone bridge in the world to span
its mighty girth of one mile where the Pennsyl-
vana railroad tracks cross from the eastern shore
to reach the Quaker states capital city-Harris-
burg.
Forty-eight artistic spans uphold the $50 feet
of this mighty structure, which is called the Rock
vile bridge by the Harrisburgers but is more wide
ly known as the 'one-mile bridge"
The river has gathered many dainty islets under
the shadow of this giant bridge, and the city of
Harrisburg caps high hill, slOping down to the
beautiful Susquehanna.
Front street, part of the unique parking system
that encrces Harrisburg, meets the western end of
the bridge with attractive cement-bordered park
where small children play about babbng fountains.
From the rear platform of the west-bound train
rumbling across Rockville bridge, the traveller can
see behind him the trimly-tailored hills of Penn
sylvana but before him, he cranes his neck
perilOusly far around the side of the car, loom the
frowsy crests of the Cumberland mountains. From
their heights the onemile bridge appears the eye
of steel needle through which passes the shining
thread of the Susquehanna.

GOLDENDALE

Goldendale, Wash, has struck it rich at last
From the obscurity of being merely one of Wash
ingtons many small mountain towns, Goldendae
has risen to the proud position of being scientific
Mecca.
On June s. 1918, probably the largest crowd
of people ever seen in Goldendale at time
gathered there--and all because Old Sol took the
idea to allow the moon to totally eclipse him here
at o'clock the afternoon of that date. He
chose very convenient hour too-just at tea time.
1t is here. at GOldendale, right at the very bot
tom of the big mountains, that the wisest of United
States astronomers decided to locate the Lick OBJ
servatOry thus assuring Goldendale that its place
on the map will be permanent. The Lick station is
built on a bit of level ground sheltered from the
blows of the stern Chinook. The star-gazers
listen here both night and day to the CHEEKY song
OF the Little Clckatat river
Goldendale is a good mixer and her cosmopoli-
tan population is composed of few families who
have roomy, scientific farms, a few more miners
who live in rough little shacks perched around on
the mountainsides permiscuous like and a good
many keen western farmer folk who have plush
sofas in the parlor and who peel spuds in their
shirt-sleeves on the back porch.

PANDRINTHAN

Pandrinthan is deserted and crumbling temple
in the pleasant Kashmir valley in India. It's fate is
an example of the oblivion that to those who
worship false gods-another proof of the fleetng
glory of kings who build unwisely
Long ago Pandrinthan stood in the heart of a
splendid city-the Strnagar of history and story A
great king built the temple walls and planted the
willow trees the shores of the lake. 1t the
court of Maya, the snake god Thousands of dark
faced men and women crossed the tiny bit of water
to lay their offerings and worship at the shrine
But the great king died thousand years ago
and gradually his city has crumbled into dust It's
magnifcence is gone. The tottering temple and
the willow trees the only reminders of the glory
of the past.
The scene is eloquent of thousand years of
neglect. The waters of the holy lake stagnate
and black with slime. The ancient temple is eaten
with decay. The murmur of the wind among the
aged willows suggests the echo of the chant the
priests used to drone before the altar. The
stiffness and desolation remind of the admoni-
ton "let there be no other gods before Me-"
