WHY NOT SMILE9

Life is a mighty serious proposition
but, granting that most of us take it
too seriously. We could smile many
times when now we frown, without
doing any serious damage to our
countenances and without offending
any OF the proprieties.
1t isn't necessary for one to be a
gigEling idiot in order to escape be-
ing called a crouch, but it is just as
bad to frown without provocation as
it is to be a giggling idiot. Nature
didn't intend for use to giggle with
out provocation, nor did she intend for
us to frown whensthere was no excuse
for frowning.
Far more natural is il TO smile than
to frown or scowl and the inward SEN
sation of the person doing it as well
as of those who see that person is far
more pleasant. There is joy in life for
the man or woman who has the happy
faculty of smiling and there are pain
and disappointment in store for the
person who habitually refuses to look
upon the brighter side of things.
No friend was ever made by frown-
ing and smile has been the preface
to many friendship that ripened into
an affection which was lifelong.
1t doesn't pay to frown. So why not
smile.

Apparently Germany is not infatu-
ated with the air raid business when
German cities are the victims. To
bomb London, Paris and other places
may seem like entertaining sport to
the war-mad Teuton. but it presents
a different aspect when German cities
are subjected to the raids of airpanes.
Germany could have taken no better
method of arousing both the British
and the French to reprisal activities
than to persist in sending bomb-drop-
, ping aerial fleets over the cities, kill
ing women and children and destroy
| ing homes. This is not civilized war
fare, but Germany has placed herself
outside the pale of civilization.

The Review further saws:

The Review further says:
still another striking example of
the erroneous character Of many of
the statements in the volume is that
with regard to the oil tax. 1t is de-
clared that a decree was issued from
Mexico City more than doubling taxes
on OIL BY a national decree, from
May /. 1917, all companies must pay
about IL cents per barrel export
taxes, or nearly 20 per cent of the
gross value of the crude oil as ex-
ported
"A tax of 81 per barrel is not 20
per cent of the valuation of the oil
neither is it confiscatory nor griev,
Gus burden, as any fair-minded man
must concede."

DAYLIGHT SWING.

The far-famed method of attempt
ing TO fool ones self by setting up the
clock is to become a reality in Amer
lea next Sunday. By a daylight saw
ing bill, just signed by the President,
at midnight on the last Sunday in
March all clocks will be set forward
one hour and continue on this sched-
uIe until the last Sunday in October.
OF course. such action is not compul-
sorry with private citizens-they nat
uraliy will set their clocks as they
please-but when they find all clocks
used by those engaged in interstate
commerce (this being a field in which
Congress is entirely authorized to
legislate) doubtless all will please to
follow suit.
The experience of twelve European
countries where it has been success
fully tried seems to justify the change,
though to the average person its
blessings will be more or less chimeri-
cal and. at least for a time, will be
very vexatious Who predicts that
any of the eight-hour advocates will
add another hours work in the eve
ming because ashamed to stop while
the sun is still so high in the heaven.

GOOD ROADS AND WAR.

Every military nation in history has
recognized the importance of good
roads. and ii would seem that no ar
gument is necessary to prove that
American victory in the world war
will be facilitated by promoting a
more general interest in highway con-
struction furnish a striking lesson in
the importance of road building.
More attention to waterways improve
ment and road building before the war
would have prevented the existence of
such conditions as have forced the
adoption of a program of 'fuelless
DAYS and "lightless nights"
With railroads overtaXed and
freight movement hampered, the need
for a system of improved highways is
apparent Continuous lines of good
roads are lacking and movement of
motor trucks is restricted.
The highway is a part OF the coun-
try's transportation system and
through improvement of existing
roads and the construction of new
roads to link them together, a great
load of traffic may be taken OF the
railroads and ship lines.

Of people.
These steps were taken as a pre-
cautionary measure against the spread
of cerebro-spinal meningitis, cases of
which have been reported to the
health bureau in the past few weeks.
No alarm should be occasioned by the
order of DIR. Schenck. He acted upon
the time honored axiom that an ounce
of prevention is better than a pound
of cure
DIR. Schenck sounded a warning
against promiscuous hospItalityS He
pointed out the fact that Norfolk was
crowded with strangers. and that
cerebro-spinai meningitis is spread
largely by carriers. These carriers are
persons who have come into contact
with the disease. and while not clint
cally sick themselves. can spread the
infection.
