EXTERNALS
By DR.. Frank Crane

Some time ago I quoted a letter from a
girl in which she stated fifteen things she
wanted They were mostly things of the
spirit. She wanted a good mind, good man
ners a good disposition, and the like.
Now, another girl, having read this, writes
to say that while girl Number One was we'll
enough in her way; ''the trouble with most
of us young women is that are too busy
wishing for more essential things to have
any time for indulging in the formation OF
such beautiful desires. |, for one," she con-
tinues, ''wish I could get a job at $25 a
week, so that I may be able to help my
family"
But. Number Two, you are wrong. That
is not what is the trouble with you.
Your trouble and since I do not know
you l can be rudely frank, is that you
are thinking in terms of Externals.
Which is he trouble with most folks.
To you, these spiritual values Number
One longed for are trimmings, luxuries of the
curiously dissatisfied. They are as of caviar
and old lace.
You call your attitude OF nllnu pl"'
tical' 1t is not.
Nothing is so visionary, unstable and alto
gether "such stuff as dreams are made Of
as the things you can see, hear and handle;
such, for instance, as jobs at $25 week
Money, houses coats, cabbages, bishops
rings and kings sceptres are fluff thin, airy
Wood, stone, 100000 fur coats and ST.
600 900 incomes are fugacious cloud forma-
tions white dan lelion seed puffs, thin
humors Of fever.
1t is Ideas that are tough, knotty and ever
lasting 1t is Visions, Dreams, Long1ngs and
like brainstuff and heartstuff, that last
Certain shrewd ideas of Socrates, some
high concepts of Plato and some m1nd-p1c-
lures of TONER, endure and shall endure
when all existing iron foundries are cold,
but all the generals, millionaires and masses
of once dominating Greece are blown away
into the ditch of oblivion.
Artaxerxes, Darius Ptolemy and Tlmour
are gone. These names, once blazing suns,
have faded into the night of history. But
the Ten ideas that occurred to one Moses
are living, vibrant, forceful, compelling
yesterday, today and forever If humanity.
No, pet, you are wrong. Getting on does
not matter. A job nor income, fruit, actual
stuff, money, goods, brickbats and gold
do not matter.
But to grasp one truth, to feel the thrill
of great idea, to love something that is
beautiful and somebody that is good-these
matter.

Pursuits Of E*-Presidents

I'm announcing that he will follow the active
practice of law, Woodrow Wilson is
treading the path of most of our ex-
presidents, who, with few exceptions, led
active careers after their retirement from
the White House. A glance at the record
shows an interesting variety of pursuits ex-
presidents have taken up, from the days OF
Washington until the present.
Washington and other Virginia gentlemen
who came after him as chief executive were
prominent in the affairs of the nation after
they resigned it's helm He himself was called
upon to take command of the army when
war with France was threatened in 1897.
Jefferson was instrumental in founding the
University of Virginia, and from Monticello
guided Monroe and Madison in their con-
duct of the state. His interest in Virginia
he bequeathed to both the latter; each served
as it's regent after they left the presidency.
John Quincy Adams died in harness while
member of the House of Representatives,
60 which he was elected for several successive
terms after his return to Massachusetts. He
was not the only ex-president to seek other
political office. Van Buren, three times
sought the presidency after his administra-
ton. Tyler, after fifteen years Of retirement
presided at the peace conference between
the North and South in 1861 and then threw
in his lot with the Southern cause, being
elected to both the Confederate Provisional
Congress and the Confederate House Of Rep
resentatives. Fillmore ran for president twice
and was defeated; Andrew Johnson was a
candidate for Congress on several occasions
and was finally named Senator from Tennes
see, but died before taking office.
Three presidents-Lincoln, Garfield and
McKinley-were victims of assassns. Two
William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor
died natural deaths while in office. An
drew Jackson remained in unbroken retire
ment from the White House until his death
So did James K. Polk. Pierce and Grant
travelled extensively. Rutherford B. Hayes
devoted the dozen remaining years Of his
life to educational and philanthropic inter
9sts at his home in Fremont, Ohio.
OF the presidents of latter generations,
practically all have been absorbed in leading
interests as private citizens. Cleveland was
Ia trustee and lecturer at Princeton; an Off
eial. too of big insurance company. Ben
iamin Harrison served as law lecturer at
Stanford University and as representative OF
he United States at The Hague conference
All America knows the varied and energetic
pursuits that occupied Colonel Roosevelt, and
the prominence of Mr.. Taft as a law profe>
sor at Yale, as a writer, a lecturer ana
as earnest advocate of international arbi-
tratiOn.
Mr.. Wilson, broken though his health may
! be expected to be leading figure in Ameri-
can life for years, and, if the call should come
to serve his country with the same readiness
and unselfishness which has characterized so
many Of his predecessors after the burdens
and responsibilities Of the Presidency no
longer weighed heavily upon them.

France, secure froLl the German menace,

and realizing the necessity of the greatest
economy is contenting itself with a navy
sufficient only to protect it's coasts and the

Capital ship construction has been stop

The rest of the fleet is made up of armor-

Admiral Develuy, master mind of the
French navy and author of famous books on
strategy, upholds those who predict radical
changes in naval warfare.
"Dreadnaughts have been OutmOVed, -
Develuy says, and advocates the construction
of numerous submarines, bombing planes,

The chairman Of the parliamentary finance

will sail fewer ships but these will be fully
armed and equipped.
France, this year, is spending go, 900 900
