There is nothing in life but the joy oi

There is nothing in love. that we dc
not put in 1t.
There is nothing can happen unless
we begin it,
There is nothing worth winning but
what we can win 1t.
There is never a sorrow should cause
US rcpining,
For sorrows were made for the
spirits refining;
So turn all your clouds inside out
till their lining
OF silver shall rival the sun in its
shining.
If you think that too long you have
waited and striven.
Then, remember. you've gotten as
much as you've given.
In the loaf of your burden just look
for the leaven;
For Gods in the world. and the world
is His Heaven.

OPPOSE GERMAN FLAG PLAN
0sieians Contend They Have Prior
Right to Color Scheme ef Black,
Yellow and RED.

Brussels. Belgium.-Belgian patri-
otic societies are being formed to take
action to prevent the German republic
from adopting the Belgian national
colors-black, yellow and red-for its
nag. Intense indignation Is manifested
and this il . bit heightened BY the plea
that the colors in the new German
emblem will be disposed horisontally
instead Of vertically.
An argument against the use Of tho
colors by the Germans 10 that the Bel
gians have actually employed the
black, yellow and red horizontally in
their emblems-notably in their mer-
camille iags-so they consider they
still have a priority on that position
Of the colors as well as the vertical
use.
The Belgians scorn the plea Of tAe
Germans that they have the right to
use the colors because Of their use by
the ancient Germanic empire Of which
Austria was the center.

Everything Else B.rc

A pretty Philadelphia girl at a

gown of the new bareback fashion
Very decollete in front, the gowns
bodice in the rear opened in a broad
v almost to the waist. There were
no sleeves to the rose-colored gown;
on the contrary it was cut out under
the arms like the jerseys worn by
athletes. 1t had, to be sure, dainty
wisp Of train. but nevertheless the
f1imsy skirt was so exiguous that as
the girl whirled about the ballroom
to the wild strains of the jazz band
it was frequently possible to see that
her garters had ruby buckles.
A Philadelphia matron said to
George Gould as the girl floated past:
"Joan is lovely creature, but all
her interests are wrapped in clothes" Z"
Evidently her interests only.

States. They read Of food proflteering.

But one problem here has no coun-

Inc. This is the worst trouble this
country has to face. Everything else
pales before it, for the lack of coal is
paralyzing industry, closing factories
and casting thousands of men and wo-
men out of employment. People who
listen with or without approval, to
D'AnnunziOs wild diatribes against
Americans and especially against Pres
ldent Wilson, know Mt the back of their
minds that only the coal famine really
matters.
Coal Scarcity Threatens Ruin.
Every thinking man and woman here
knows that unless the coal famine is
stopped, ruin will soon stare Italy in
the face. Her coal supply which must
be entirely imported. is never enough
to last for more than a few weeks.
Italy pays $50 a ton for coal that
costs $15 in France, SO in England
and $S In Germany. The italian gov
ernment has tried to get big coal con-
tracts with American mine owners.
American coal, at the pits mouth is
cheaper than any other. But Italy can
not get the transports except at such
rates that make American coal a pro-
hibitive luxury. Italy had no coal
mines destroyed during the war. be-
cause she had none to be destroyed. It.
aly has suffered from coal shortage
worse than any other country. and still
suffers.
Lack Of Coal Basis Of Problems.
The question is like a magic circle.
you go round and round all the prob
lens which are causing strikes
throughout the country-dear living,
lack OF raw materials, transports,
dear foreign money. and you always
get back to coal. Without coal there
are no industries, without Industries
there are no exports, without exports
there In NO money. And SO It goes on.
Discomfort with economic conditions
IL general, yet Italy has no coal at
home and no transports to go and
fetch It from America, where she
could get 1t cheaper than anywhere
else.
