FIGHTING MANKIND'S
PROGRESS.

T~ HE sum and substance of
W senate behavior is that
the majority leaders are
trying to kill the League of Ma
tions. They are not aroused
because the treaty has not been
officially submitted to the
senate. They know the treaty
is not yet ready for submission
to any of the allied govern
ments.
Neither do the obstruction
lists object to the wording of
the league covenant. They OBJ
ject to the whole thing and are
indulging in hell raising tactics
to kill it off.
For some reason the senate
junkers do not want the world
to secure a machine whereby
wars may be prevented. They
want the old order to prevail.
They want to break faith with
our soldiers who were told that
they fought a war to end wars
and to set up a rule of justice
and reason. The senate OBJ
jectors want to keep Mars upon
his throne. They would delay
mankind's progress and con-
tinue a condition under which
each nation must sink or swim
as best it can under the laws of
the jungle.
The hell raisers are commit |
ing a crime against civilization.
Will the country stand for it? |

Evening Chat


One of the High school girls tells
me that yesterday was Tag Slang day
at the school and that some rather
amusing experiences was result OF
the same. In the entire four years the
pupils were given cards to pin to their
coats and dresses and every time a
slang word was used, the person who
heard it had the privilege of placing
cross on the card. The boys and
girls report that there are so many
perfectly good slang words and
phrases that it was almost impossible
to speak at all without uttering some
thing contrary to law. A number OF
the girls had their cards filled Sith
crosses almost before you could say
Jack Robinson" You can imagine
what lot of fun everybody had. They
tell me that even the teachers, includ
ing Principal Colebank, had few
marks and that the grown-ups were
watched more carefully than anyone
else. During recitation in class
some one would jump up and mark
some ones card when necessity arose.
When classes were changed the
laughter and fun in the halls proved
contagiously exhilarating. One girl

hard experience has proved itself not

MED that nervous breakdoWns are, in
any large proportion Of cases, the result
of overwork. On the contrary, their
cure is often work. The rich business
man is not attacked by nerves as rule
during his active days while he is heart
and soul in the management Of his bus
mess. He suffers after he has given up
his business and is trying to find inter-
est in occupations which lack the zest
of his earlier career.
One does not need to be either a So
ciety woman or too successful bust
ness man to know the horrors Of
nerves. None Of US is entirely free
from them. Not only lack of occu-
patton but lack of interest in ones oc-
cupation turns the mind inward upon
self, and results in nervousness. So
does the habit of finding trivial Incl
dents and particular people annoying.
The remedy is to turn the mind away
from the. too insistent az. Tired and
cross?' says DR.. Walton. "Why not
tired and good natured?"

Advice With Exceptions.

'Take the first job that offers. Do
1t with all your might. Your worth
will soon be recognized by your EN-.
ployer, who will reward you with a
raise and with his daughters hand,
and you'll live happily ever after"
The returning soldier is already be-
ing fed upon this truistic advice
which successful old age delights to
hand out as it were the sole "secret
Of success" which it isn't by a Jug
full. The wise young man, accepting
the good will Of counsel, discounts
in his planning three counter-possi-
bilities: Q) that the first job offered
may not be one for which the appli-
cant is adapted; (2) that the en-
ployer may not be the all-wise,
sagacious, broad-minded person which
the success books invariably post him
as being; (3) that there either (a)
may be no daughter or (b) she may
prefer somebody else. With these and
other similar qualifications the spirit
of the work nd-you'll-prosper
wheeze still stands as admirable. -

BRIGHT COLORS GIVE RELIEF
Simple Method by Which Desk Work.
2 ere May Avoid lncalculable
Injury to the Eyes.

The constant use Of the eyes on
white paper will in time weaken them
and make it necessary to seek other
employment, or resort to some remedy.
Bookkeepers, proofreaders and those
compelled to gaze for hours at a
stretch on a white surface, should
have a number Of bright colors on
their desk or near at hand upon
which the gaze should be allowed to
rest at short periods when the mind
is busy with some mental struggle.
The bright colors will give relief
to the long, constant strain On the
eye, and it will be astonishing to
those who have never resorted to any
such remedy to note the relief Sc.
cured.
Green should predominant. Yellow
and red with shades of pink should be
used.
Bright-colored blotters and bright:
tinted notices or picture cards with
birds and flowers as we'll as scroll
designs will produce the most relie1
to weary eyes.
Even a bouquet with green foliage
combined with the flowers will give
satisfactory results, but this is not
as permanent as brightly colOred
prints that will not fade for a lone
time

SHOCKED TO LIFE

n. e. DEARHoLT., M D.. DIRECTOR
You undoubtedly number among your
acquaintance at least one nerve-sick
woman whose invalidism has apparently
been cnred by the war; this in spite of
the fact that a son or brother in the
army has given her the first real cause
for anxiety which she has had in years.
What has been the cure which has
transformed your acquaintance from a
fretful, inactive invalid into an energetic
capable woman? Knitting, gardening,
Red Cross Home Service, campaigning
for Liberty Loans-in short, work plus
forgetfullness of self. Not the kind of
work attempted so much as absorption
in it has driven off the DOGGY.
If it took a war to effect such "cures'
the time for working them would now
be over and victims of "nerves" in this
generation, at least, would be doomed
to incapacity for life. But, fortunately,
it does not take such extreme measures.
It was not the war which brought about
the cure, but fo4getfullness Of self,
aroused by the war. to be sure, but
capable of responding to other stimuli
also.
Increasingly. it is coming to be de-

How to Braze Metals.

In brazing brass, copper, wrought
iron and steel, clean the metal thor
oughly at and near the joint to be
brazed, by scraping or filing. Be sure
to fit the edges closely together. If
greater strength is required, lap the
edges over each other about a quarter
of an inch. A good, plan is to rivet the
edges together to hold them in place.
Place brazing material along the joint.
Take finely powdered borax, wet 1t
with water and place little along the
seam. Put the article over charcoal
fire, joint down. Heat it slowly and
evenly, holding it about an inch above
the charcoal. When the braZing ma
terial is all melted, rap the part with
a hammer, to induce the material to
flow all through the joint. If the ar
ticle is brass or copper, it should be
plunged into cold water. and if steel
or iron it should be allowed to cool
slowly.

WANTED HIS AMONEYS PACK
German Drummer Baked When He
Started to Cross Old Bridge at
Troy, New York.

Albany, N. z, has a historical mli-
scum that contains, among other treas
ure, bass drum dating back to the
great influx of German immigrants
which followed the revolution Of 1848
In Germany, says Cartoons. This In
strument was owned by the first OF the
wandering hungry five' bands which
appeared In this country after Marx
and Engels, the industrious collabora-
tors, wrote the communist manifesto.
The bass drummer was called '"Thick
Head" Schultz. According to music
teacher now living in Albany, who
heard Schultz perform in the sos, he
could play in three different rhythms
at once without making the band mad.
At Troy, ten miles up the Hudson
river from Albany, was one OF those
long, old-fashioned inclosed wooden
bridges, unlighted within, like tun-
mel. Looking through it, as one APP
preached, one saw tiny spot of light
at the far end, as If gazing through
a telescope wrong end to.
One day the hungry brass band start
ed across the bridge to play at barn
raising along the road westward.
Schultz had paid the nickel toll when
he happened to look through the long
black space ahead. Then he baked.

ed. "By tam, dere is no use my tryin'

The New Wonder Buu.

Queer, is it not, that germs that
cannot be seen with the finest micro
scope, and: cannot be measured with
the finest measurement, are so dis
posed? They live in street cars and
omnibuses, and not in steam cars or
sidewalks. They thrive in barber
shops and not in dentists Offices. They
inhabit churches and theaters alike,
but not restaurants nor cafeterias.
Queer, is it not, that these little bugs,
so very little that they cannot be de-
tected with the microscope, and that
they can go through cement and even
glazed dishes, are yet SO large that
they can be held back by the thin
meshes of handkerchief, or the thin
stuff that goes into q mask?
