THE OLDEST TOY.


One night when the Toys were having
their midnight talk in the playroom,
Teddy Bear began to tell how old his
family were.
why. there have always been bears, .
said Teddy.
"Some say we lived away back with
the ancients and that remains Of our
family have been found IN caves IN
Germany"
''And who are the ancicnts, may |
inquirer said Miss Doll.
ooh, l don't know, but they were the
very oldest of old folks, who lived very
very long time ago" said Teddy Bear
"Our family is very old, know that.
Speaking of old families, said Miss
Doll, 81 am quite sure, Teddy, you arc
mistaken. Our family dates from time
most remote, and once upon time a doll
was called Flanders Baby. Our family
is very old, Teddy; feel sure we outdate
yours"
what do you mean by time most
remotc?" asked n little dog on wheels
ooh. | don't know exactly replied
Miss Doll. "but il means very old. |

PEPPER TALKS.
BY George Matthew Adnms-
OH FOR ANOTHER MAN

Somewhere recently came across
| these beautiful and very suggestive
lines:
go for man to rise within me
That the man am may cease To be,
| believe that we oil feel at
times that even the best that we
have buildod within us il losing
hold and that we feel an inward
alonenoss that secretly calls for
better support-another man to
replace the old.
To be "twenty-one" again. or
thirty--or something. Anyway to
be something different than we arc
1t is well II is good. For in
the very thinking, in the very
desire, is born anew botter deter
mlnation and finer resolve.
No forward man stands still
No traveller tarries long at way
posts. But il of the greatest value
in the building of character To pause
quite at occasion in order To gain
new perspective.
There is little gain in rapldity.
Rather is life's best noble unfold
ing. Holmes in his beautiful "Chan-
bored Nautilus, understood
when he said.
Let each new Temple
Noblor than the last
Shut thee from Heaven
With dome more vast
So that, MS . matter OF practical
fact, there is nothing so oncour-
aging ms to long for new man, n
very much wiser and better ono to
come from somewhere to take the
place Of the one you SO much feel
should go.

certain principles. which were reaf-
firmed by the War Labor Board.
The War Labor Board, lastly, to
get this genealogy straight, was ap-
pointed by the Secretary Of Labor
and approved and affirmed by the
President. 1t therefore represents
covenant between organized Ia
Dor, organized capital and the gov
ernment. Its creation marks def
nitely a new era in labor adjust
ments in the United States.
First Job Is
To Win the War
The first and pressing job of the
National War Labor Board is t0
win the war by seeing to it that the
war industries of the country are
kept going There shall be no
strikes or lockouts during the war,
the board proclaims. In case after
case during the last few weeks the
board has telegraphed to employers
and employees: "You must not stop
work. 1t is unpatriotic. 1t is con-
trary to the agreement between cap
ital and labor and the government.
Place your case in our hands and
agree to abide by our decision. 1t
will be fair and in the interests of
the general welfare. You will lose
nothing by delay, because what we
decide will be retroactive to the date
of our taking up this case. The Ger
mans are at the gate"
How is this going to work out?
That is the question the answer to
which is not yet ready. Many men
are stalking their regulations on the
success of this principle Of action.
Former President Taft and Frank
