WE SHOULD SMILE!

The thing that goes the fartherest
toward making life worth while
That costs the least and does the
most-is just pleasant smile
The smile that bubbles from the
heart, that loves its fellow-men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom
and coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too,
with manly kindness bent;
It's worth million dollars, and it
doesn't cost a cent.
There is no room for sadness when
we see CHEEKY smile;
1t always has the same good look
it's never out of style;
1t nerves us on to try again, when
failure makes us plue;
Such dimples Of encouragement are
good for me and you,
So smile away; folks understand
what by smile is meant
It's worth million dollars, and il
doesn't cost cent.

gram for the, exercises in honor of
the American unknown soldier dead
and Armistice day were worried yester-
day as to how the two events could
be arranged without having the pro-
grams conflict.
The military escort for the unknown
dead was scheduled to leave the Capt.
tol, with President Harding and cabi-
net members at its head. at $3.50 the
morning of November II. Those ex-
ercises would continue well into the
afternoon in the amphitheater at Ar
lington, and then luncheon for the
distinguished visitors, including dele
gates to the arms conference, would
cause further delay.
While the. opening session Of the
conference would. in the opinion of
some officials. be more appropriately
held in the morning and adjournment
taken out Of respect to the Ameri-
can unknown dead and In recognition
or Armistice day celebrations In the
allied nations. 1t seemed impossible
to meet before am. in order to
avoid conflict with the other program.
In this event, It was thought probable
that the initial meeting Of the confer
ence, would be postponed until late
in the afternoon Of Armistics day.

Europe has been growing
steadily worse. Some countries,

very serious condition, and Ger
many herself is on the brink OF

is fortunate in having a wealth of

is also fortunate in that no Italian,

a question to be propounded. and is at this time
trying to have an answer ready.
No admission from any official source has
been forthcoming that the answer has been
found prepared.
For thing. there is no reply at hand to
the natural inquiry of how much of a navy does
the United States think it needs? There are
two schools Of thought in this country on this
subject. One holds that this nation should have
a navy "as good the best navy afoat" The
other. that 1t should have a navy small
