hin who waits were amended to
read, Nothing comes TO him who
waits.r it would be true.
AS 1t stands 1t is one of the most
misleading and dangerous falsehoods
In existence.
Your energy is your capital. Use it
wisely and economically and 1t will
pay you an almost usurious rate of in
terest
Half use II, or waste It on things
that are of no value and you will juft
about make living. which is a thir 4
which no man of ambition wants to
do.
Education teaches us to use our { a.
ergy profitably. An educated man ciin,
or should get more out of the same
amount Of energy than an uneducated
man, exactly as turbine gets more
out of column Of falling water than
the old-fashioned overshot wheel.
Yet the energy must be there, or the
education must be useless. There must
be driving force which will apply whet
you have learned to your problems.
Nothing important was ever accom-
plished by education alone.
If you haven't got energy. cultivate
1t. Put your health in good condition
and your physical energy will i'm
prove, and with physical energy you
viii gain mental energy.
Be careful how you use both. You
can't settle a business tangle If you
have been playing tennis all the morn
ing. The exercise will use up the en-
ergy that ought to be expended on the
job. Your brains can't use what your
muscles have used already.
Energy Is always capital, but 1t must
be well and prudently invested.
Take care of yours. Add to II by
care of your health and by abundant
mental exercise. Then expend ii on
important matters, and don't be
afraid to expend It literally. 1t is one
thing of which the more you spend the
more you viii have, provided, of
course, 1t is not foollshly wasted.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
aTREAcLE."

THoSE who have stumbled
across the reference In
Walters ode to Charles
III 10 'treacle yielded by your
vipers" have naturally been
puzzled to see the connection
between a poisonous snake and
the English name for strip or
molasses, a connection which
dates back to the days Of
legendary lore.
'sTreacle" was originally
Greek word and. wrapped up In
it. was the once popular belief
that the best antidote for the
sting of snake was a concoc-
ton made from the tissues OF
the snake itself-a sort of "halr
Of the dog Is good for the bite"
idea. Milton speaks OF the SOW
erelgn "treacle Of sound doc
trlne," while "venice-treacle" or
wiper wine" was a common
name for a supposed antldote
against all poIsons. Treacle,
meaning first this antidote, was
first broadened In meaning to
include any cure through medi-
cine; then contracted to mean
only those medicines which
were of sweet strip nature
and. finally. restricted to the
particular strip which is called
by that name today--a strip
which. however. has no medici-
nal properties whatever.

LYRICS
By DOUGLAS MALLocH
THE TWO CAPTAINS.

oNE captain went clear through
~ the war
And never struck blow;
He came home with perfect score
A perfect letter o.
Citations never mentioned him,
For, neither good nor bad,
He came home safe in life and limb
But thft was all he had.
Twas Captain Go-and-Do, the man
Who served his flag in France;
And well ana wisely he could plan
Just how men should advance.
As brave as any soldier true,
No fight he ever won
He didn't know that Go-and-Do
Gets very little done.
Another captain came back hHme
With honors that they gave,
Came proudly sailing DER the foam,
The idol OF the brave.
(No drawer man than Go-and-Do)
They hailed him Marine to Metz
The other captain of the two
Was Captain Come-on-Lets.
The war Is over, industry
The soldier now demands:
And yet the fate Of nations we
Still carry in our hands.
o captains of the battle new.
When business duty frets
Are you a Captain Go-and-Do
Or Captain Come-on-Lets?

AS YOU THINK.

THE lovely or homely lines on your
face. the expression in your eyes,
the curvature Of your lips and
IN fact every visible llneament ON your
features, is but an outward sign Of
your thoughts--your hidden self.
'For as he thinketh within himself,
% is he," says the Biblical proverb.
Whether you suspect 1t or not, you
carry with you at all times in the
tracings on your countenance, all the
good and the evil thoughts that con-
troll your impulses and shape your
destiny.
Some psychologists there are who
can with a wonderful degree Of ac-
euracy read your face as they would
read a printed book and determine
after much observation the quality Of
your character.
A little child Is often adept In read
ing at first glance the cast and build
of the telltale marks on face hard
,ened by crime. and will shrink from
n I'm AFFECT fear, even when there Is
an attempted smile.
Through the lip-smile child
glimpses the soul and senses the
souls deceit and wickedness.
A thoroughbred dog has the same in
nate instinct.
At the sight Of hard face, the
bristles ON the dogs back will rise as
he shifts, steps warily and utters a
resentful growl
The thoughts that are yours, those
that predominant, shape and compel
your acts, govern your words and the
information of your voice, Hight your
eyes and color your checks, slowly and
surely trace their indelible lines on
your face. that wise creatures may
read them with unerring certainty.
II thoughts be ugly, the face win
be ugly, and you, yourself, will be as
you think. In spite Of article and dill
gently polished manners.
Upon the other hand. IL thoughts

One of the easiest ways for dress
ing up the house at holiday time is
to make lamp, candle and electric
light shades or lanterns Of crepe OF
tissue paper and tinsel. To make
the small lantern pictured two rings
of cardboard are covered with plain
black or gold paper pasted over them.
A length Of light green tissue paper
is folded along the center, sIashed
Into narrow strips and pasted inside
the rings. Under this length Of
rose-cOlored Grape paper narrower
than the green is pasted; this causes
the strips OF green paper to spread
and stand out. Silver tinsel hangs
from the wire handle at each side.

FUNDING Of BRITISH
DEBT IS DISCUSSED
Preliminary Work Is Begun
Incident to Resuming
Negotiations Here.

Preliminary discussions incident to
the resumption of negotiations for
funding into longtime obligations of
Great Britain's 5000, 100000 debt to
this country were begun here yester-
day.
Acting in accordance with Secretary
MELONS recent announcement that the
Treasury was ready at any time to
discount the funding scheme with the
British, Treasury officials said, con-
ference was held by Treasury and
State Department representatives with
Ambassador Geddes and other en-
bassy officials. Discussion was con-
fined to review of the steps previ
ance with the Victory Loan act.
Previous Negotiations.
Since negotiations for funding the
British debt We're halted last summer,
officials expla ined, responsibility for de-
termining the method by which Eng
land is to pay her war debt to this
country has passed into fresh hands in
both governments. Moreover. it was
said, as there had been apparently
mutual understanding by the former ne
gotiators on some points in the fund
ing arrangements, it was thought adj
visabe to go over the whole ground,
so that both parties would be thorough
~
out.
Whether Amba ssador Gcddes will
conduct the actual funding negotia-
tios for his government. when they
begin. or whether Lord Chalmers, per-
manent secretary Of the British
treasury. or some other financial ex-
pert would be sent to this country, is
as yet undetermined. so far as known
here. though American officials have
thought ii likely a trained financial
expert would take up the task.
Pressing British Problems.
In the absence Of Ambassador Ged-
deS from the city il was not expected
that preliminary converse tions would
be resumed for some time. while re-
sumption of formal negotiations prob
ably will await the settlement of
pressing problems now facing Eng
land such as the reparations question
. and the coal strike, 1t was said
