THAT DoGGoNE DENoMINAToR
(By DR.. Frank Crane.

What Carlyle said, that Happines
as value of Common Fraction
one of the most piercing truth
'ver uttered by anybody.
The Numerator is What You have
rhe Denominator is what you thinl
you ought to have What Happi
aess you have is equal to the frs
iivided by the second
If you get $4,000 a year(: Mum

Denominator) you are onehalf hap
oy, or 2 over 4.
There are two possible ways t.
remedy this; one is to multiply TIL
numerator, that is, get more. say :
times as much; then you nave4-
which isl, or twice 1-2. The othel
IS divided by the denominator, tha
s. want less, say want $4,000 in
stead of $4,000; then you have q
Il or twice IL. precisely as salts
factory process as multiplying tn
numerator, and heap easier
Fools multiplying the numerator
Wise men, including Socrates, Bud
dha, Jesus, Toreau and everybody
else that knows the trick of being
happy, divide the denominator.
The trouble is, when you try t
increase your happiness by gettin
more things (by multiplying you.
numerator) and when you succeed
in getting an extra $4,000, that dog
gone denominator has increased also
1t won't stay put. When you
get more, you want more. The de-
nomination sneaks up in the dark
So, cut down che denominator
It's hard to get more money, some
times impossible, but you can go in
your closet, take yourself in han
and want less in fifteen minutes
Practice this. It's cheap. Ant
it can't possibly hurt you Walk
through the department. stores, for
instance. and note the infinite mum
Der of Things You Don't Want and
thank God.
The cheap common herd are all
honing the More Money. More Things
Hence pessimism, Bolshevism and
universal bellyache. And there
are not Things enough on earth, nor
in the starry globes that crowd the
sky, to satisfy that horse-leech APP
pitite of the disordered soul that
continually cries, Give, Give"
But you--Be Happyl It's easy.
Just be tickled to pieces to think
how much junk there is in this cIut-

In the meantime, Lineman Robinson

II came from the Senate IS Senators
Richards, Honett, Bennett and Handy
Speaker Corbit and Representative:
Gregg, McNabb and Clendaniel.
The opponents also object to New
Castle being represented by four men,
bers on the commission.
The Lloyd amendment will not
change the personnel of the Senator'S
on the commission. but would elimin-
ate Representatives Gregg and Glen
daniel and substitute for them Repre-
sentatIves II. S. Smith OF Georgetown
and Hanratty and Soper OF Kent. This
would make a commission OF five from
the House and four from the Senate.
The amendment leaves Pierre 5. dupont
on as the tenth member of the com
mission.
Representatives Smith and Soper are
looked on as among the most bitter
opponents OF the code in the Legisla-
ture. There seems to be no chance or
such an amendment going Through,
as the friends OF the code would not
stand for the change and they are In a
majority.
The indications are that the Legis-
lature will remain in session practl-
cally all OF this week and try to clean
up The more important business on
+he calendar.
10 seems assured now that enemies
OF the code cannot get strength enough
TO pass the repeater In the House.
This being true it is reasonable. to
assume that they will not stand for
an out-and-out unfrlendly commission
to revise the code. 10 has not been
decided how long the commission, II
finally named, will be given to revise
the code before reporting back to the
