MUST CONCENTRATE TO WIN
Though Thorough Absorption May Be
Carried Too Far, 1t is Necessary
to Success.

There Is always danger, when any.
one concentrates, that the Concentra
don Will be carried too far-sO far
that it produces narrow, One-sided
and warped point of view. The great
scientist, the great scholar, the great
thinker in any line Is usually not an
all-around good fellow" Grabbed"
queer" peculiar" "odd," funny"
and ''warped"-are these not the ad-
jectives that generally describe the
geniuses of the world? The very eff
fort to concentrate on the one sub
jeCt which has brought success has
made 1t impossible to keep in touch
with the thOusand-and-one currents of
thought and topics of conversation
which go to make up comfortable and
easy-gOipg life. Like the old sea cap,
tain, these geuiuses miss something in
their effort to fix their attention on
one thing.
In spite of this danger, 1t is a good
thing to work for concentration. The
likelihood of becoming One-sided is big
where genius is concerned, but then
1t can be excused. Most Of us can
safely concentrate our attention and
still feel sure that we will keep in
touch with the world about us.

Need for Eternal VIGILANCE.

eve first make our habits and then
our habits make u.s." said an unknown
sage. In other words, what we are
at this moment, what we can do at this
moment, depends not only upon max
ing up our minds at the time being,
but also upon how we have made up
our minds countless other times in
thousands of minutes already gone by
and now out of our control. The one
thing we cannot control is the past =;
1t may, however, control us for good
or for evil. The fact that we should
remember in forming habits is that our
minds and hearts are the meeting
ground Of strange conflicts; that good
and bad in us are making opposite
suggestions; that each is striving for
the mastery; and that sometimes we
are so self-deluded that the bad may
seem to be the good. AT any hour the
beginnings Of vicious habit, perhaps
through the suggestion of someone
else or by our own carelessness, indif-
ference. or faults, may find their way
into our hearts. The price we must
pay for continually proving and pos
sessing the good is eternal vigilance.
Exchange.

Discouraged Aids to Beauty

In the day of Louis NV LaBruyere
wrote this: IF women only desire to
be beautiful in each others eyes they
may, of course, follow their own ca
price or taste as to the way in which
they dress and adorn themselves; but
if they desire to please men, if it is
to charm them they rouge and paint
l can assert in the name of mankind
or at least of those men whose votes
have taken, that white and red paints
make women look old and hldeous; that
1t is as disgusting 70 see women with
paint on their faces as with false teeth
In their mouths and waXen balls to
pun out their thin cheeks; and that far
from cOuntenancing 1t, men solemnly
protest against all such arts, which in
fallibly tend to cure them of love"
The wonder arises if LaBruyere
spoke only for the men Of his time.

The Crows Voice.

The crow is one of the most widely
disliked Of birds. His reputation is
bad, and is probably deserved.
No matter how long you study the
crow, you will always have something
to learn, and at the end of all your
study he will know more about you
than you will about him. At times ii
seems as if he knew what you were
thinking about.
The crow has a large variety of
notes or calls, and each one seems to
be the harShest In all bird vocalism
until the next one is sounded, which
is little harsher. He IS an accom-
pllshed bird, and intelligent. If tanned
he can be taught many things, but
never to be good. He is a natural
thief. and cannot be reformed.

General Wood

Senator Moses, of New Hampshire,
recently in contact with his constituents,
reports a growing conviction that Gen
eral Leonard Wood is to be Presi-
dental candidate in 1920, and predicts
that if he is nominated he is practically
certain to be elected.
General Wood was born in New
Hampshire, and his native state Graves
the honor of submitting his name to the
nominating convention. He entered the
army from Massachusetts,, and many in
the Bay State think the privilege should
be hers Kansas h;.s adopted him as
one of her beloved citizens, and voices
favoring him come out of this modest
state The rivalry suggests at in one
respect General Wood meets one condi-
ton of Presidential candidate-he is
big enough to be seen across the
country.
Some of those who do not look with
favor on the Wood candidacy, men who
fear it and would head it off, have in
dustriously insinuated the idea that
Soreness" is not wide enough plat
form. The proposition is doubtless
sound, but it does not apply. An attrac-
tive quality of General Wood is his
steadfast refusal to be sore. Other men
might have been when he was shunted
to side track when the war began, or
when board Of doctors was called in
seemingly with the purpose to retire him
as an invalid, or when he was denied an
opportunity for foreign service. But he
was so busy with duties that he had no
time for other thoughts.
In the Presidency America prizes
character more than anything else, and
character is not shown by what particu-
lar job a man holds, but by the way he
reacts to jobs placed on him. 1t is
thus not strange that Leonard Wood has
steadily grown in public esteem. His
life has been one long success. In his
first profession and in his second he
won distinction. Then, turning to highly
complicated tasks as Administrator of
Cuba, he organized a new nation. He
had imagination and the spirit Of prac-
ticality in admirable mixture.
Then, in the trying days prior to our
entry into the war, he displayed the high
est gifts Of craftsmanship. Except for
the preparedness campaign which he
carried on, practically without official
support. we might have arrived too late
at Chateau Thierry and the Argonne
Except for his refusal to be gagged,
American casualties might have been
100000 rather than 281, 1000.
Not by accident, not by phrases, not
by self-advertisement has he won his re-
pute-not by accident is he hailed as the
inheritor of the great Roosevelt tradi-
fions
