GETTING READY.
BY. DIR. FRANK CRANE.

ttopyr rlsHt' lS-i.'
One way to open a locked door is to
fall at it and scratch. kick and shove!
A better way is to get the key.
In other words. pluck and force and
will power are all right in their place.
but they are far from being the only
secret of success. They are down.
right silly without-preparatio
Knowing how is half the battle:
Practice and study count. Skill and
efficiency mean a long time getting
ready. We are familiar enough with
this truth in ordinary matters. We
send boys to school and apprentices to
the shop, and wouldbe e.stenographers
to night school. For we recognize
that the unframed man these days has
for him. But we often fail to carry
this primitive common sense over into
the more serious concerns. we pr-
get that one also has to learn-how to
live. One cannot go at 1t tooth and
nail. 1t is not to be Stormed, forced
ing and practice.
The learning how is hard. always;
but essential. The only things one
can do without practice are over
eating, overdrinking, laziness, bad
temper, selfishness and general mean
ness, also uselessness. But the good
things come hard. Take humility,
rarest and noblest of virtues. The
only road to humility is by being hu-
INFLATED, which hurts.
The only way to patience is by SELL
restraint under irritation. If there IS
nothing to gnaw and worry and
heckle US, then we never learn that
beautiful art of patience. The only
path to belief-that is, to the only klno
Of belief that is of any use to charac-
ter-is through doubt Faith is prod
uct that is ground out OF the mill OF
dismay, confusion, despair and strug-
gle. Intellectual assent is cheap. The
confidence that is triumph OF the
soul over pessimism and fatuous rea-
sonings is worth something.
The only means toward rest is WORK
1t is to tired bones the bed tastes
sweet. The soul can never enjoy let.
ting go that has never hung on. Reai
placidity is the product of strenuoslty.
So also the preparation for knowl.
edge is love. Truth is not a lump oi
something man may go and PICK up.
Truth is not anything at AL. II IS
relation, a quality, shine. an oooi.
1t is not perceived by the Intellect; II
is perceived by the heart; the INTEL
1ect merely criticizes and ella assifies 1t.
Only love can see. 1t has the A-ray
eve. And this is true in business. or
science or literature. or art, quite as
much as in religion. Brains can amass
truths and pigeonhole them ana ar.
range them; only passion of some sort
can find them out where they are hio-
den.
Some of us have the ignorant notion
that we could be noble if we cared TO
make the effort. We are like the man
who, when asked if he could play the
violin. said he didn't know-he'd new
er tried.
What a deal of getting ready to live
is needed! A man never really learns
how to live till he's ready to die. Ana
if with most of us, all of US, LIE IS
mighty getting ready. then, 1t IS
getting ready for-what!

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, July 2.-More fiuctua-
tions in foodstuffs prices than for
some time were shown this week by
pun's list of wholesale commodities
prices, although several of them took
place in some of the less important
articles. Largely because Of the
changes in such items. there was a
slight excess of declines over ad-
vances.
In the general list. however, the
margin between the downs" and the
ups was as largely in favor of the
former, as has lately been the case.
Fifty-two of this weeks seventy-fve
changes were downward. Numerical
weaknesses in metals and in the
drugs, chemicals. dyestuffs and oils
were again marked.

Foreign Exchanges Problem.
While events in the credit situation
bearing upon the investment outlook
have been encouraging. the same can
rot be said for the course OF the for
eign exchanges. 1t is now recognized
that something else lay behind the
drop in sterling from four dollars to
dollar credits to meet the nrst install
ment of the German indemnity. The
Reparations Commission for the sec
ond installment waived the require
ments of payment in dollars and ac-
,, should have brought more of a re-
sponse in British and French ex-
change had the supporting elements
! In the market been the same as they
were in the middle of May. So. too.
the prospect Of easier money condi-
tions here and the plans for funding
the foreign war debts to the United
states might have been expected to
; have had some stimulating effect.
1t has been suggested that the Repa-
| rations Commission may be in the
| market. secretly exchanging foreign
| currencies for dollars. and conducting
the operation so that. while it may
keep rates down. it will not reproduce
the decentralization that occurred at
| a month ago.
This Is one explanation which. if
! true, would partly account for the
heaVlnesS in rates. But the action of
| the exchange market is reminder
| also that Europe cannot keep on

pend upon selling US goods, and that
between the raising of new tariff bar
riers and the failure to materialize of
| the various projects for extending
long-term credits. the whole interna- =
tional trade problem is quite as dubious

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-The ar
rival here of large quantities of wool

indication. as the shipments will sup
