REMEDY For NUMEROUS MS
A. You May Remember, an Old Song
Says "it's Very Good Plan
to Forget IT."

When q piece Of American slang
shows vitality and effective use for
four or five years, it is safe to say
that fairly universal human quality
lies within it, the Rutland (yi.) Her
aid observes. Such is the terse and
characteristic Americanism, forget
it'll"
When annoyed to the point of ex-
asperation by trivial people-people
who gnaw- the nerves and .scarify the
disposition-what u balm and healing
lies. in the magic philosophy forget
it ~
When it seems borne in upon us like
a heaven-directed mission TO go utiII-
ing windmills, what Il solid, common
sense ring there is to the inward men
tor which whispers, forget it !"
When bored by stupid editorial
incensed by an intolerant sermon or
swindled by Il silly play, how much
better to stitle the seething wrath and
forget it!"
When victimized by II petty rascal
the loss not adequate to the necessary
energy for redress, forget It'll"
When abused by q lrunkard, fool
or silly child, forget it p
When betrayed by friend 81 deep
ly that the heart changes and the
pleasant faces tskss on falsity, for
get It."
When Old Man Bile poisons the dis
position and life is saffron instead of
blue and fair. take IL pill and-'foI-
get It,"
How many wrongs are worth re-
membering? How many annoyances
are worth noticing? How many triv-
ialities are worth attention? The pit
of oblivion swallows them, once we
can take our philosophy in both hands
to forget it,
And if The reader takes life so ser-
iously that this convenient nullity
offends. the remedy lies close at hand

TELLS OF THRILLS
WHEN SHELLS FLY
MAN WHO SAW WAR ON FOUR
FRONTS ESCAPES DEATH
MANY TIMES WHILE sERv.
ING SOLDIERS.


Chicago.-More than 700 Y. M. C. A.
workers saw service with the soldiers
of the American expeditionary force in
the front lines during the last months
of the war.
Frank NJ Van Epps, seriously
wounded while serving as. a Y. M. G. A.
worker in the Argonne, told of some of
his experiences in u talk at the Y. NJ.
G. A. college here:
On the way to France last April on
the Oronzo, Van Epps and SO other
"Y' men narrowly escaped drowning
when the ship was torpedoed by a
German U-bOat.
Van Epps was divisional secretary
of the Y. M. G. A. outfit. He worked
with the Fifth division until the armis-
tice was signed. He was dressed up in
n doughboy's uniform when he arrived
here. A limp and kitbag slung over
his shoulder containing what Is left of
his equipment complete his couvenirs
of more than six months service over
Seas.
Van Epps saw the war on four fronts
in France and Alsace, serving in the
first-line trenches on two of them.
When the OrOnzo was tOrpedOed on
April % 60 miles off the coast of
Wales U-boats "got" two out of con-
voy of seven steamships. The Oronzo
went down in IL minutes after she was
struck. and Van Epps and other "Y''
men lost all their baggage. They were
picked up by torpedo-boat destroyer
and landed at Hollyhead, Wales.
In Front Line.
In southern and middle Alsace, Van
Epps was in the first-line trenches and
at st. Mihiel, when the drive opened,
he became stretcher bearer after his
supplies ran out. Getting word to
shift to the Argonne, he travelled all
night by train, on trucks and afoot,
and spent the next three weeks Sleep
ingfn shell holes and trenches when
he was not at work.
At Madeleine farm, on October IS,
Van Epps and Thomas T. Hadley of
Iowa, another Y. M. G. A.'man, set up
shop in an old barn.. All but three of
'iiS tNChty l. NOThtTS went Duck
to get supplies. The barn had been
under shell fire for several days. but
Van Epps and Hadley decided it was
good enough to sleep in. They built
a bed of boxes of jam, with tub of
chewing tobacco for pillow and lay
down.
Half a mile back. an American bat
terry was hammering the Germans, and
two German airsplanes came over look
ing for the position. They let go two
bombs which landed on each side of
the barn. Soon came third, which
struck the roof, bringing down mass
of rafters and beams and scattering
shrapnel. A splinter was driven
through the calf of one of Hadley's
legs and piece of shell tore through
both of Van Epps' thighs.
After dressing stations and field hos
pitals had finished with them they
spent half day in an ambulance and
then were put aboard French hos
pital train. where they remained an
other two days. One of these days was
Sunday. SO Van Epps, at the suggcs-
tion of me of the doughboys, "put
on" service, conducting it propped
up in his stretcher.

One of the orlalnal Jokes.

A writer telling about the outing of
the Authors guild at Florida, Mo-,
Mark Twain's birthplace, says that
the jumping frog story was favor
ite anecdote among the stories told by
Twain's humorous uncle. John A.
Quarles, and that Quarles brought IT
along with him from the backwoods
of Tennessee. Some pundit dug the
same tale out of ancient Greek litera-
lure not many years ago. 1t is no
doubt impossible, but it would be high
ly interesting to trace the lip-to-lip
journey of the story back through the
colonies and across the sea to the
learned clerk in Oxford or Cambridge
who first translated it from classic
Greek to homely English and told it
over his cake and ale. Maybe it was
Ben Jonson and maybe Shakespeare
Tassed 1t on.
