The Blessing of work..
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Wriver.

The Blessing of work..
1t is only the workers who are hap
Ply. Think it over and try to recall
single Ioafer who is not merose and
pessimistie, or an idle man and wo-
man who is not peevish, and discen-
tented, and who do not eternally i'm
agine that something is the matter
with their livers, or their lungs, or
their nerves. You will not be able to
remember a single bouyant optimistic
individual who isn't busy.
There are not many constitutions
strong enough to stand idleness. When
man retires from business after hav-
ing worked like a dray horse for forty
or fifty years he signs his death war
rant So does the busy mother of a
family when she gives up her house,
and goes to live with her children.
The old people could have worked on
for ten or fifteen years, perhaps more,
but they haven't the strength to
stand the arduous task of killing time.
The epitaph on many q rich old man S
and woman's tomb might be, Died of
Idleness."
Work is a necessity to happiness
and health, and the first aid to being
good. Satan still finds stunts for idle
hands to do, and If people are not
legitimately employed they will be
vieiously employed. The sons and
daughters of the rich are not inner
emily any more inclined TO stray from
the straight and narrow path than
are the children of the poor, but the
poor have the safeguard of work to
keep them in the fold, and out of the
Sunday Supplement.
The man whose whole thoughts are
centered on doing the kind of labor
that raises him to the head elerkship
or the foreman of the shop doesn' t
have to seek excitements outside of
his own home. The woman who has
| to cook and sew and wash for a house
full of babies isn't worrying over
whether she married her affinity or
not. She's got something better to do
than vivisect her own emotions and
hunt for thrills.
The work that accomplishes some
thing in the world; that makes a man
and woman feel that they earn their
way as they go = the work that drives
and forces a man and woman to bring
every talent of mind and body into
play is the greatest gift that can fall
to the lot of any human being.
And when we teach the young that
| it is misfortune to have to work;
and to despise work, we are bringing
down the curse of curses on their
heads.

Many opponents of the administra
ton are trying to place the RESPONSE
bility for the defeat OF budget Iegis-
lation upon President Wilson. But
while the president did his best in that
direction, it should be remembered
that the senate had an opportunity to
complete the enactment of the meas
ure into law. There was no reason to
believe that the president would have
vetoed it the second time. But IL he
had done so there would have been
no question regarding the RESPONSE
bility. The trouble is that there are
too many persons in washington who
object to anything that will put an end
to log rolling on appropriations.

When Governor Henry ]. Allen OF

would protect those rights, the presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor apparently weakened his case
by declining to answer. except to char

Mr. Gompers probably realizes that. if
that question could be answered salts
factorily, there would no longer be a
labor problem about which such dis

question Mr.. Gompers apparently has
no answer. The governor attempts to
answer 1t by the Kansas industrial
court law. and is attempting, further.

such law thru the Republican ma

. President Wilson challenged the Re-
publican party to a battle over the
Versailles treaty and his challenge has
been accepted. The platform adopted
az Chicago makes the issue clear.
Other matters touched upon in the
declaration of principles will be lost
sight of largely in the heat of the
fight. More definite platform express
sion on certain subjects may have
been desired by those voters who take
their politics seriously but lack of this
will make little difference in the re-
suit next November Not much at
trntion is paid to platforms beyond
one or two dominant issues. After all
presidents are elected by the ballots
of the Independent voters and they
render their decision with more regard
TO the personality of the candidate
than to what is contained in the party
platforms. The candidate who is
known to stand for certain ideas is
little helped or hindered by the plat
form utterances of the party with
which he is affiliated.

SUCCESS.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

SUCCESS.
Success is being friendly when another
needs a friend,
It's in the CHEEKY words you speak, and
in the coins you lend;
success is not alone in skill and deeds of
daring great,
It's in the roses that you plant beside your
garden gate.
Success is in the way you walk the paths
of life each day.
Its in the little things you do and in the
things you say;
Success is in the glad hello you give your
fellow man.
It's in the laughter of your home and all
the Joys you plan
Success is not in getting rich or rising
high in fame
It's not alone In winning goals which all
men hope to claim;
It's in the man yeu are each day thru
happiness care.
It's in the CHEEKY words you speak and
in the smile you wear.
Success IS being big of heart and clean
and broad Of mind.
It's being faithful to your friends, and
to the stranger, kind;
It's in the children whom you love. and
all they learn from you
Success depends on character and every
think you Do.

 The outdoor camper always has visions of dandy campfire over which the bacon sizZles. But sometimes it rains, even on campers. and it is hard to start fire. So the two burner gas oline stove has been provided. The pest ones come in a steel box that fits on the running board, and it is ready to make the kettle boil any momenl rain or shine.

When a load is placed upon a rounG tread tire, it causes 1t to flatten out in order that the tread surface necessary to bear the load will come into con tact with the road The amount of this deformation depends both upon tho weight of the load and the air pressure in the tire.
 To solve the problem it was simpls a question of building up the tread so that it would have the maximum amount of road surface when under normal conditions.
 It was also found that such a tread scuffs away at only about half ths rate of the round tread. For exampit will wear off Is of a pound, the fiat tread will wear off only 1-10 Of a pound.
