YOU

Did it ever occur to you that the
story of your life would make a
thrilling novel or movie?
Sometimes your life in New Haven
gets dull and boresome-which is a
wise provision of Providence, for it's
only by contrast that you get thrills
and excitement.
A steady diet of excitement would
become as monotonous as constantly
drab existence.
Have you ever narrowly escaped
death?
Have you had an interesting, ro-
mantle love affair?
Have you had great sorrow, a sud
den reverse of fortune or any other
great loss?
Those are the high spots of thrill
ling movie-and the reason why the
story most interesting to you is one
in which you can imagine yourself fit
ting in quite naturally as one of the
characters
Study the faces of people you ride
with in New Haven street cars. If
you had mind-reading powers, you'd
find startling emotions and strange ex
istences behind their mute face-masks
The plain human being-You, He
and She-are the most interesting
things in the world.
For instance, peek into the life of
real person, Jim.
He was eight years old when he
landed with his family from Wales.
AT nine he was shining shoes, running
errands and ringing an auctioneers
bell in a Pennsylvania iron town.
Ten years later, Jim was an iron
puddler at Sharon, Pa. Stripped to his
waist, sweat rolled off him as he toiled
before a blast furnace
That immigrant boy-Jim-is now
James J. Davis, secretary of labor.
Thrilling illustrations of the unlimit
ed opportunities of America and of
the romance of one individuals life.
No doubt those early days in the
iron towns seem to him the most in
teresting of his career.
When you are old and look back,
what period of your life will appeal to
you as the most thrilling and ro-
mantle? The present?

PAY HONOR TO GOD OF FIRE
Japanese Religious observances That
Take Place in Coolest Season
of the Year.

A Japanese religious observance Pc
culiar to the coolest season of the
year is that of bathing in cold water
and wearing to and from the bath a
single kimono of pure white, with a
white band about the head. The cere-
mony, says the Japan Advertiser in
a recent issue, is out Of respect to
Fudo-san, the god Of fire. primarily.
Those observing the custom carry a
lantern and Jingle small bell as they
go along the street. The season con-
tinues for thirty days.
The first fifteen days of the season
Is called the daiken, or great cold,
and the second fifteen days the sho-
kon, or small cold. Most Of those who
go through the ceremony are young
men, apprentices in some trade, who
run to and from the bath, repeating
the words, "Rokkon Shojo," as they
go. The principal temple and bath is
the one In Fukawaga-ku. The cold
water bath there was recently re-
built at cost of 100000 yen in an
ticipation of the cold season. It Is
open for women only until 6 o'clock
in the evening, but at all hours In
the day for men. Among the women
are many young actresses, who pray
earnestly for success In their profess
sion. Another Fudo shrine is near
Meguro station.

Thoughts Of Today
Saving Eggs

The U. S. Attorney General says that
I'VE must put Europe on it's feet be-
fore we can do anything like solving
our own domestic problems" But how
can we do that if we refuse to ex-
change goods with them? Can you
make Omelets without breaking eggs?
Avowedly our new tariff is designed to
exclude foreign goods and if we do
that we cannot put Europe on it's
feet" AS a result we cannot do any
thing like solving our own domestic
problems. Here is little lesson in
political economy: If you buy, you
must sell. If you sell, you must buy
You cannot do one without the other.
Sometimes three or four parties take
part in the transaction, but it will al
ways work round to equity.

RHODES NEVER WOMAN Halter
But Celebrated "Empire Builder" Had
Little Time to Devote to the
Center Sex.

Cecil Rhodes had the reputation Of
being woman hater, but he was by
no means a misogynist, though he
might have been regarded misoga-
mist. He was welded, it was said, by
his friends, to Africa. But his life
would have been more complete and
no less full of achievement If he had
been married to the right woman
at least so says my wife and other
women who knew him.
While l have said Rhodes was not
a woman hater, he was averse to vast
ing his time on women of mediocre in
tellect. Rhodes excused himself for
not marrying by saying that he had
hot the time to give wife the atten-
tion she was entitled to receive.
In his magnificent house at Cape
Town there was only one picture. 1t
was a painting of young woman,
beautiful and modest Of aspect, by Sir
Joshua Reynolds, and hung in the din
ing room above the fireplace. He loved
to look at it and frequently told how
he had gained possession Of it. AS
a boy he took great fancy to this
picture, which belonged to a relative,
and his love for 1t increased as he
grew to manhood. Eventually he
bought it. He always wound up the
story by saying: 'Now have my lady,
and am happy."-John Hays Ham,
mond in Scribner's Magazine.

MOST BEAUTIFUL LINES

One of our friends writes in to ask
that we publish more paragraphs and
papers than we do concerning the sum
mer countryside, its beauties, comicali-
ties, the profound thoughts it causes
to arise in us, and SO on. Well, we
shall endeavor to do so. Meanwhile,
however, our readers will permit us to
offer passage from Jeremy Taylor's
Holy Dying which, we are sure, will
satisfy this particular appetite and
whet an even nObler. To our mind,
these lines are among the most beau
tiful in the English language: he who
can read them unmOved has never used
his eyes. But as when the sun APP
prOaches towards the gates of morn
ing" they run, she first opens little
eye of heaven, and sends away the
spirits of darkness, and gives light to
a cock, and calls up the lark to mathis,
and by and by gilds the fringes of a
cloud, and peeps over the eastern hills,
thrusting out his golden horns, like
when he was forced to wear a veil,
because himself had seen the face of
God; and still while man tells the
story, the sun gets up higher, till he
ShewS a fair face and full light, and
then he shines one whole day, under q
cloud often, and sometimes weeping
great and little showers, and sets
quickly so is mans reason and his
life. The Villager.

THE FROZEN LIMIT

We insist on being left free to
modern dance; freer, for example,
than the couple who, clinched, cover
three feet of dancing-flOor space in
twice as many minutes; freer, too,
than the person who is in a perpetual
flutter lest he be written down as
Fogy. This person, whenever the mod
ern dance is mentioned, hurrieS to
say that there was just as much talk
of ruin when the waltz was introduced,
and yet the would did not go to perdi-
tion-to our mind, this is as silly as
most remarks which are dictated by
the fear of appearing old. For it i'm
plies that the shockingness of the mod
ern dance is all in the fact of it's new
ness; once having become accustomed
to it, the argument goes, you found
the waltz no worse than the minuet,
and once the novelty wears off, you
will think the toddle as harmless as
the waltz. Which would be all very
well if the couple on the floor could
be thought of as those old favorites of
plane geometry, the two variables
which are always approaching the
limit but never, never in all eternity
can reach it; were this the case, we
could then go on having fashions in
the dance, each one more shocking
than the previous. But as human be-
ings are finite bodies existing in space,
there is physical limit to short skirts
it is in recognition of this fact that
we say the 1921 dance is about the
limit; we might even go further and,
borrowing the phraseology of our up
right contemporary, the Saturday Re-
view, say it is the frozen limit. The
other day we came upon an indictment
of the waltz written by Sir Thomas
Lawrence; the Observation-Disclosures
would, of course, point out immedi-
ately that Sir Thomas, did he live to-
day, would be praising the waltz and
villfying the toddle, and heaven
knows we hope he would for he was
an intelligent man. What strikes us,
however, in the following lines is that
dancing the roomy quadrille did not
keep the prudish nineteenth century
from speaking with a plainness that
would have shocked-well, not the
tlapper of 1921, no, but anyway the
maiden of 1890 who revolved circum-
specify to the rhythms of the ''Blue
Danube"
What the girl 1 adore by another en-
braced
What! the balm of her breath shall
another man tastel
What! pressed in the whirl by an
others bold knee!
WHAT painting recline on another

Protect Our Oil

Oil interests clash. Shall the native
high waged oil producer be protected
against the pauper oil producer of
Mexico. To the citizen in favor of pro-
tecting American products there can
be but one answer. Tax Mexican Oil
high enough to keep it from competing
with our native oil. We do this with
silver, lead and gold ores and other
minerals. Why not with oil? This
will end the Mexican oil question, be-
cause we can't object to the Mexican
government doing a similar thing that
produces the same result. Away with
Mexican Oil and let us burn our own.

Practically Unbeatable.

"My wife," pridefully said citizen
of the Ozarks, in the crossroads store,

Wealth in Beads.

Probably the choicest and most val
liable beads in the world are those
possessed by the natives of Borneo. In
many cases they are very old, and
have been kept for centuries in one
family.
Some are thought to be Of Venetian
origin, while others resemble Roman
variety.
1t is difficult to induce the natives to
sell their beads, which they guard as
heirloOms. A rich chief may possess
old beads to the value Of thousands of
pounds.
When children are small they are
carried on the backs of their mothers
in a kind Of cradle, which Is often
deliberately adorned with beads. One
chief possesses a cradle valued at
f2OO.

Soldiers Bonus

The country will be financially ruin
ed if we have to pay bonus to vet
to collect land values for that pur-
pose, because the land owners who
produce nothing would be injuriously
affected and would have to employ
their own capital or labor in order to
obtain an income This would be fatal
to our institutions. 1t is much better
to have five or six hundred soldiers
commit suicide in despair. Tax
wealth, don't tax land values, is the
cry of every politician.

Ancient Pictures.

Mankind has always loved pictures.
Races, without written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures that
moved, it did not have to wait long to
see whether 1t would die or flourish.
A dozen years ago the motion picture
business, as we now know it, did not
exist. Today the American public sup
ports 165OO moving picture theaters,
makes 5,000,000,000 visits to them a
year and spends $750,0OO,0OO annually
for the amusement.-The Nations
Business.

POLITICAL WAR FILTH

1t takes the politician to keep the
nasty things stirred up. The long
drawn out controversy between Adj
miral Sims and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has had majority and minority
reports made of the investigation by
the Congressional committee. The ma
jority report favored Admiral Sims,
quite naturally, as it is purely a party
report, and not only scores the incompe-
tence of Secretary Daniels, but takes
a fling at the administration that pros
ecuted the war One sweet morsel of
that side of the report is really quite
mild, as witness the following:
The conclusion seems unavoid-
able that upon our entering the
war and for many months there
after the primary motive of the
administration was not to do ev-
erything possible to help win the
war with the Allies and against
the Germans. Rather
does the predominant purpose of
the administrator seem to have
been to look to the future of the
United States apart from the AL
lies in case Othe latter might be
defeated, or in case peace
without victory" might be made.
How foolish all this political rancor
is. If America had made sorry
showing in the war, either on land
or sea, there might have been some
reason for criticism. But the fact is,
America won the war by the most
unparalleled efforts ever recorded in
the history of nations. 1t was not
partisan war, but an American war,
and as Americans we should be proud
of the record made. This sort of filth
should be expunged from the records,
for it is unbecoming the country to
permit it. Senator Lodge stood before
nearly 5000 dead the other day on
the HobOken pier, as did General
PerShing, and their tributes were of
the ennobling sort, doing fullest
honor to those who fought for their
country as ordered under the govern
ment's prosecution of the great CON
test. Congress should not further
scandalize the war. History has writ
upon its pages that it was an heroic
effort worthy of great and self
sacrificing people.

Washington's Religion.

There has been considerable contro-

that most Of his Sundays, except dur

answering letters, going over his &C.
counts, hunting or doing any business
that those with whom he was negoti-
ating had no scruples. In choosing
people to work for him he set up no
barriers of creed, Judging men from
