CREDIT TO THE UNITED STATES.
If the United States had been self.
seeker in the peace conference, the task
of the conferees would have been in.
creased tremendously. But being en-
tirely disinterested in her participation,
the United States thereby aided mate
rally toward the adjustment of the diff
ferences. In due time the United States
will be given full credit for the high po-
sition which she took in the treaty of
Versailles with respect to the "spoils of
war; At the present time the position
of the United States is probably merely
a source of great wonderment and per
haps some ridicule among other nations
concerned But in refusing to seek bene-
fits from the treaty the United States
merely accentuated the stand taken at
the outset of American participation in
the war back in April, 1917. It was an
nounced then that the United States
entered the war for the purpose Of free
ing the world Of "a monster that it had
no desire to gain in material sense.
That purpose has been maintained

The news reports do not state whether
warning signs were placed at the ap-
prosches to the bridge in North Claren-
don where one man lost his life and two
other men were injured when their auto
mobile, being driven at night, struck the
bridge and toppled into the river; and,
of course, it is not probable that the
signs would be clearly visible at night to
serve as a warning But the reports do
state that both approaches to the bridge
have sharp curves, and these ought to
be provided with sizeable warning signs,
just as every sharp curve in Vermont
roads ought to be marked. 1t is ex-
ceedingly trying for persons unaceus-
toned to travelling over some of Yer
mont roads to drive motor vehicles even
at slow speed unless the curves are
plainly designated by signs placed at
reasonable distances from the curves,
This is a work which might well be tax
en- up by the state highway department
in conjunction with its road building.

Boys must be very foolhardy, indeed,
when they will climb electric light poles
and deliberately dare each other to touch
the transmission wires of electric power
companies Such procedure seems to
have been followed by youths at Bran
don, and one of the youths was fortunate
enough to grasp dead" wire, while the
seemed seized live" wire and was i'm
mediately killed 1t is utter foolishness
for persons thus to tempt fate. Electric
light and power poles never should be
climbed except by those who are en-
ployed by the companies operating the
electric systems or by persons who are
thoroughly familiar with the dangers
Boys can find forms of amusement and
entertainment that are not so dangerous
as climbing poles of electric light and
power companies; and the outcome of
the episode at Brandon should serve as
lasting warning to any who may become
cognizant Of the conditions

llHOu US. we nave got TO FEEL
life as we'll as live it-that Is, If we
are going to get the most from 1t,
and produce the most from it. But
we are content, the great part of
us, with closing our eyes, when 1t
comes to unpleasant issues, those
that really count, and holding our
hands, and accepting whatever a
kind OF unkind Providence may
have in store for us, rather than
mastering our energies, and fore
ing a smile to our eyes,, even if we
can't get it all the way into Jul
hearts, and telling the world that
we are ready for whatever it has
to offer us, and that we know in
our own consciousness that we will
come out winner.
We don't do that, most of is
we haven't the strength or the cour-
age to do it, and therefore, we are
swept into the maelstrom of obliv-
ion, and wonder why this Is so,
and bewail our lot, and tear our
hair, and complain bitterly and
loudly at the unkind and unpleas-
ant and woefully unjust manner in
which we think our particular
Fates have treated us. The whole
trouble is with ourselves-and the
whole trouble Is that we either
won't or can't admit that is true,
and as a result obtain a new and
truer and more genuine angle on
our own lives, and just what they
Lakeland why. We can't win and
deserve success unless we have 1t
in us to do so-no other power ex-
cept ourselves, so far as human
agencies are concerned, can turn
the trick for US.
If we fail, it is because In our
consciousness we don't measure. up
at the showdown. If we win, 1t is
because we have that mysterious
and yet NOT mysterious something
in us that refuses TO accept defeat,
which demands only victory, and
which as a result obtains victory
for us, and that which we have been
fighting for. I know this all sounds
frightfully psychological and so on,
but it isn't, not a bit of it. 1t Is
just plain, ordinary facts-the kind
of facts which all of us must face,
and which, if we try to dodge, will
only come back at us with a worse
slap in the face when we are not
expecting it.
If you are discouraged, don't look
at the world around you, don't look
at you environments, don't look at
your job-look at yourself. You may
be surprised, and you may shrug,
and say:
whats the use?"
I don't know. 1t depends alto
gether on yourself, on how far you
can see, and how fair you are with
the Interpretation and application
of what you Do see. l can only
show you the way to success, and
point out the sign posts. You will
have to follow them for yourself
and by yourself. Otherwise the
goal of success wouldn't be worth
while.
But, girl friend Of mine, 7 have
only YOUR interests and YOUR
success at heart. I am doing MY
best to give you hope and strength
and vision and wisdom. Whether
you get them, and what you do
with them depends on no one else
but yourself. fE3l

yOu CfCI WdtSHOu a
great, ocean-bound ship ly-
ing at anchor in the harbor
and wondered at its m~assiveness?
A tug boat fastened to it could
make a sudden pull, and break the
great chain or tow line, and not
move it an inch. Yet you could
take a half inch rope and, with your
own hands, turn the great ship
completely around by pulling stead
lily and with sufficient patience.
The movement would be slow, of
course, and it would take time and
strength, and infinite determination
on your part, but the final result
in the end would be assured.
The ship could very we'll be COM
pared with yourself, girl friend of
mine, who, growing impatient with
your surroundings and fretting be-
cause the curse of your life is not
changed swiftly enough to keep
pace with your over-fevered dreams.
Don't jerk and fret with your
self. You have been worrying for
months, maybe for years because
things don't happen-as you think
they ought to happen. You have
put a lot Of useless and harmful
material into that brain of yours.
You have devoted your girl thoughts
the thoughts that should have
turned into making a real and fine
woman of yourself-into kicking
and rebelling at the fate that has
apparently held you to a job that
you don't like, and which you think
is wasting youth and beauty (if
you are vain enough to think you
have any, and your vitality.
You are discouraged because the
world doesn't change overnight for
you, because you wake up to find
the same kind of a drab morning,
and the same jangle from the hate
full alarm clock ringing in your
ears You lose sight of the bigger
vision, the things beyond your I'M
mediate horizon, because you are
growing so assiduously as you force
yourself out of bed, and go through
with the details of your dressing
that ,,AY1 houn M limo fn 1Onk III
and beyond, and see the wonderful
horizon that could be yours for the
asking.
J! know it is hard to convince
yourself that things exist which we
can not see and measure with III
eyes. That is why we fail at sue
cess when so many others attain it.
Success is simply a matter of seeing
farther than our human, normal
eyes can function. That is a hard
thought to grasp. l realize that,
and l wish I could make it simpler,
but l can't. You, who r discour-
aged, who think you have come to
the end of your road, who car see
only the gray, bleak horizon of more
days, and months, and years stretch
ing ahead like the others have been,
will find it almost impossible to get
what l an trying to tell you with
all honesty and sincerity-for l am
not trying to preach to you, and
give you lessons.
I am doing my best to make you
see those things you have missed,
as l see them, and as l know hun
dreds of other girls have come to
see them, through the guidance and
counsel 1 have been able to give
them. Life isn't all on the surface.
