Editorial

Editorial
We read SO much about
smiling, one almost gets the
impression that all one needs
to succeed is a grin.
Cheerfulness isn't a mat
ter of a smile. One of the
most unhappy men we know
goes about with a perpetual
smile on his face, but 1t
gives anything but the ap-
pearance of happiness.
Cheerfulness must come
from the heart II IL is TO be
sincere. The smile that wins
must have it's root deeper
than the muscles OF the face.
The grin OF the insincere
Is about as attractive as
that OF the laughing hyena.
The forced laugh is As
iarring TO our ears as the
bray OF the iackass.
II YOU would win through
smile. YOU must first cul-
tivate the spirit of happiness
so that the smile may be a
reflection of your inner self.
Then. and then only will
your, smile win.

Out Of the experience of a years

j. Lund speaks, saying that the
French peasant girl would have a

Curiously enough. canning was

Washington Herald Cross-AtIantic
Service. Special Cable Dispstchl

Copenhagen, June 20.-Things are
financially and economically unset
tied in the state of Denmark. The
Danish treasury, in spite of the mil
lions from the sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United States and
the flow OF money into that country
during the war, is at low ebb. The
krone is badly depressed.
In addition to the labor disturb
ances which have racked the coun-
try for months, there is a severe
lack of housing and grave shortage
of coal.
Copenhagen prisons are full, not
of criminals. but of families unable
to. find other roofs. Schools and
other public buildings have also had
to be used to meet the housing
crisis.
Train service is drastically cur
tailed, principally because of the
lack of coal. With the revival of
German industry. hopes of relief
supplies of coal from that quarter
are diminishing.
Bolshevism seems to be on the de-
cline. Socialists appear a disheart-
ened lot since the Danish elections.
