Senator Smoot, chairman of the
JOINT committee on printing, is having
prepared report on the use of print
paper by the senate and house. In
view of the acute shortage of paper
thruout the country, the senator
thinks congress should set an example
of economy. Mr.. Smoot states that
not long ago, upon the request of a
certain senator, a speech was printed
as a senate document. Thereupon it
was reprinted in great quantities and
sent over the country free of postage.
In the printing alone forty eight tons
of paper was consumed. The cost
of printing was betrayed by the per-
son ordering it. but the people had to
pay the cost of transportation in the
ms.iIs and the rest of the publishing
industry suffered the loss of that huge
quantity of paper. No greater waste
of paper can be imagined than that
involved in printing speeches made in
congress.

THE OTHER FELLOW.
If we were in the other fellows place,
If we knew all that troubles him each
day.
And see the many pitfalls in his way,
Perhaps we, too, would stand and cry
aloud
And shudder at the jeering of the crowd.
How sorely tempted is the sinner here
Only the sinner well and truly knows:
What buds of hope have blighted year by
year,
Leaving decay where should have bloomed
None but the broken toiIer here can tell.
Yet, in his place, would We have done as
wellf
If we were standing where the failure
stands,
And knew the disnppofntments he hal

Or, being weak, had sinned and been dis
graeed,
Perhaps we, too, would shuttle down the
street
And lie or steal for something warm 90

The dispatches bring the gratifying
information that the house and SEN
ate conferees on the railroads bills are
approaching an agreement. The coun-
try's business is being held up by a
lack of cars. The shortage is unlikely
TO be relieved while the roads remain
in the hands of the government, or
thereafter without necessary legisla-
ton by congress. Steel mills are re-
ported to be operating at between
SO and 80 per cent of capacity, as
against so per cent at the beginning
of the year. 1t is said the production
will still further increase if the rail-
roads can handle the product. With
the coal business and the steel trade
absolutely limited. by their ability to
get cars and motive power, how essen
tial it is that the railroads be returned
as early as possible to owners who will
be more in sympathy with industries
which furnish the roads their chief
revenue, and be returned under a
statute that will take special cogni-
zance of the imperative necessity of
providing adequate car service.

When We know that our friend has
worth, then we can adjust all else.
A friend of mine. in talking about a
certain investment that I hesitated
about taking up, made one statement
that clinched my belief in it He said !:
The WORTH is therei"
We can wait long time on friend
or fate-if worth is there.
Worth isn't demonstrative. It says
very littie-but it DOES a lot. You
always know when it is around-and
you always miss it when it goes away
And yet, in its finest developed state,
worth is SO very rare.
If the worth is rhere-stick by your
friend, or yeur investment, or your
job-or no matter what.

WORTH.

Worth isn't always dressed upi Like
the brain, it is mostly concealed until
emergency telephones for it.
We look folks in the eye, listen to
their voices, watch them as they walk
and as they work-and then we begin
to scent the measure of their worth.
Worth isn't free from all alloy. Like
the purest gold it must have some
thing alien to its pure state to make it
stand up and be recognized.
1 think that. as a boy, used to
rather admire Washington the more
when read that he sometimes lost his
temper. There was something in the
fact that suggested that everybody
human could aspire

To Praise or Not TO Praise.
A woman writes this:
rs it proper for a wife who loves.
her husband dearly, and admires
him very much, to praise him to his
face. or should she remain silent
and keep her good opinion of him to
herself? Please answer this ques-
ton and oblige. MARY
1t is a pretty sae rule to judge
other people by ourselves, Mary. and
to treat them as we would like to be
treated. Just put yourself in your
husbands place and see how you
would feel about it.
If you were a man, and were mar
ried to a woman whom you loved de-
votedly, would you like her to be az
cold, ard dumb, and as lacking IN
enthusiasm as clam or ice. or would
you like her to be warm. and human.
and responsive? Which brand of love
do you prefer-the kind that you have
to take for granted, and that may be
habit, or a sense of duty, or the love
that assures you every hour of the
day, by word and sign. that 1t Is liy-
ing, palpitating reality?
OF course a man may know. deep
down in his soul. that his wife still
loves him because he has not heard OF
her pricing tickets for Reno and she
seems happy and contented, and satis-
fled with her bargain in the husband
| line, but do you think that that sort
of canned domestic devotion. however
nutritious it may be as a daily diet,
| has got any real pep and flavor to it?
Don't you think that the man who is
| fed on that sometimes hungers for af-
| lection with more flavor to it? Don't
you think he wants his wife to tell him
that she is still madly. wildly, roman
tically in love with him, and that he
| is the only man in the world to her.
and that she watches for his, step with
| just as many palpitations of the heart
now as she did when she was a bride :?
And if you were man. Mary. and
we're married to a woman in whose
| eyes you longed to shine. wouldn't
you like to have her give you the glad
hand and tell you that she thought you
were the handsomest thing that ever
lived, and that no matter IL you had de-
II veloped a bay window and lost most
I of your hair, that you still looked to
her like a cooling?
wouldn't you like to have your wife
hold up her hands in awe and admir-
alton every time you pulled off a good
business deal? Wouldn't you like her
to show you off before company by
asking you to tell your best story. and
to quote your opinion, as IL that set
| tied every subject, or would you prefer
her to keep mum about all your good
qualities and only call your attention
to your faults?

During the past year the people of
the United States have paid a billion
dollar silk bill. Never have prices for
raw silk from abroad been so high. yet
more raw silk has been imported than
ever before. In Chicago they're even
selling silk shirts on the installment
plan. Yet nobody has heard of a
strike among the silk worms nor a
demand for higher wages and shorter
hours.

A system of universal military
training is one of the pressing needs
of this country. 1t would be a fine
thing for the health of the youth of
our land; il would make our nation
secure, and put us in a position to
maintain the place we occupy in the
sun. During the war we paid a high
price to learn the value of trained
armies. and it is one we should not
easily forget.

sands OF track fans assembled in
Harverd's great stadium this after
noon to watch the junior athletes

It was the Bostonians, flying the
colors Of the Boston Athletic Associ-

honors in the competitions with q
total Of thirty-two points. while the
U. 8. Army athletes finished second
with a final tally Of twenty three.
Other point scorers were: unat-
tached entrants, eighteen; New York

During the course of events, three
records went by the board, William
J. Bartlett, Of the University OF
Oregon, smashed the discus record
with a 1876 IL foot toss. more than
two feet beyond the mark set by
H. ]. Walker. of the New York A.

The third record to fall went down

Down in Wall Street opinion ran
against the facts of the race and
odds which had favored the Resolute
at two to one. became four to five
on the Shamrock. Later they shifted
again and became six to five in favor
of the Resolute.
Perhaps this can be explained by
the consistency with which mishaps
have overtaken Herreshoff craft.
The accident yesterday is merely
one of a series of unforeseen epi-
sodes.
None of the kites of the Sham
rock took the sunshine today, but
aboard the visiting yacht all were
jubilant. The lime-juice sailormen,
plucked from the melancholy into
which the prospect Of an outrageous
defeat had plunged them, pranced
about the deck and snapped to Brit
ish duties.
The fact that they, too, had suf-
fered an accident, namely a wrench
ed bOwsprit, and yet had contrived
to blow in a winner, added to their
contentment. The lamed part was
replaced early this morning.
The report from the Washington
weather man dropped still another
lump of sweetness into the cups of
yachtsmen. The report declared for
fair. light winds, north or north
