the way toward eliminating labor trou- bles.
 "A man who heads a big organization Is only as big as his ability to under stand the work, and the viewpoint, of his most humble employe.
 Happiness is another thing of which the American is always anxious to find the secret. It is another one of those indications of your healthy national life I would say that happiness is a sus- tained state of mind in which the indi- vidual Is never bored. This is'particular- ly true of man in my line of work can not afford to be bored by any phe- nomenon of human living. Life is too interesting to turn down any phase of 1t that comes your way naturally. Being bored by people and things about you is sign of your inability to assimilate life properly The fault lies with the bored individual and not with life.
 Now, don't mean that you should take life as 1t comes. When you really give up all your energy for the improve ment of human living, you have right ta expect, and do get, an interesting re- action from those about you. Life can never be dull to the man who never al- lows himself to be dull
 "In the last analysis we increase our interest in life as we increase our un- derstanding. Understanding Is as difficult a problem personally as it is socially and politically. The present day unrest is due to our impatience and the lack of a desire to understand Thus capital is not eager to understand labor, and labor is unwilling to understand capital. They both suffer from the same mistake.
 This is true also of nations. II is easier for a newspaper to interest the reader in lurid stories of another country than 1t is to portray actual conditions. am very anxious that my newspapers shall interpret America correctly to the British people.
 q would rather see Englaud the coun- try that understands the world than Eng land the country that would rule the world. World domination is the ideal of past order; world understanding Is the basis of national and international suc- cess in the new order"

American History

From LeSles.
 Many observant writers have noted the popular unacquaintance with American history The schools teach it, but we don't read it. Yet we can neither feel nor conceive the forces that mean good government and prog ress without & knowledge of our hiss tory Tn the transmission of our prin- ciples no teacher can instruct us like the vivid and picturesque story of our fathers. To implant our history in the mind of youth Is to pass forward our heritage--to bathe the living spirit in the immortal blaze of the heroic and the splendid. To invigorate the rea- son, to fructify the imagination, to surply deficiencies in character to en- noble patriotism itself-no knowledge
 is comparable to familiarity with the simple-hearted tenderness which beamed around the hearths of the pi- oneers, the romantic pathfinding in the death -strewn wilderness, the virtues of a rugged people, the courtly elegance of our statesmen, the high-souled gravity of our soldiers, the magical advance of an ingenious race sowing commonwea1ths and building the most powerful of nations on the principle that eacn cltlzen may iiVe do ne "iiiS within the law.
 Tom Reed and Champ Clark said their success arose from their knowl- edge of history. We all know what Bacon said about it. It must be popu- iarized. It ought not to be obscured by the veil of scholarship. It ought not to be crowded in the classroom, nor sighted in the tide sweeping into new pages of history which will be meaningless unless the old pages are known. The other elements of edu- cation may make us successful; but history makes us interiors. And If we are going to mingle our ashes in this ground, we shall do it more rcudly if we know who they were who gave us a country and name.

Money Order Typewriter

Post office money orders that are wholly typewriters, except for the post masters signature, are the product of 3 new kind of labor-saving machine now on trial in Washington, says Popular Me- chanics Magazine. A modified form or
 bookkeeping typewriter is used, greatly
 reducing the possibility of error always present with the longhand system. A
 sheet containing 10 money order blanks is inserted in special holder, together with
 carbon and second sheet When the first order has been written, and drawn out for removal. the carbon copy sheet
 and the second blank are. automatically
 brought into position the copy remaining in the machine until filed. A dial at the front shows the number of orders issued
 and the total amount of cash.

OLDSMOB|LE WILL
 CARRY.PASSENGERS |. ID EDGEWOOD PARK
On Sunday, Formal Opening Day of Park, 0IdsmobiIeS Will Carry Passengers
 Free From Car Line
with characteristic progressiveness

With characteristic ogressiveness and perspicacity, Robert L. Newman, president of the Alabama Oldsmobile company, has arranged that no one will have to walk from the end of the Edgewood car line to the park, unless they so desire as MT. Newman will have 6 number of Oldsmobiles waiting for visitors who will be carried to the park without any charge comfortably and quickly.
 Workers assert that it Is not necessary at all to come to Europe to pay $l0 bottle for champagne.
 The net result is that steamship of- fices are thronged with Americans try ing to exchange their return passage accom- odations for earlier boats.
 What is the cause of all this? The first thought that comes to the tourist s mind is that 1t is just plain highway robbers. But a closer investigation shows other causes, the chief one be- ing the recent collapse in the money true of the franc and the lira. Francs that cost six cents a few months ago, now cost nine cents. Lire that cost less than four American cents in April, now cost six.
 In short, the once almighty dol- lar has lost it's prestige and punch. This is the conclusion which the tour ist, erstwhile so proud of his native currency, inevitably must reach. Pres ent European prices were fixed four CT five months ago and then repre- sented a fair equivalent of American prices, as exchange then stood, but failed to drop in unision with the rates of exchange, Consequently prices now stand on an average about 50 per cent higher than in America.
 French Reciprocate And if Americans here are sore at the French shopkeepers, the latter heartily reciprocate the feeling. The the American tourists once enjoyed, has given away to a growing reputa- ton for tight -fistedness. The tourists are not buying. The natives ditto. Hence business is at standstill and stocks refuse to move,
 The only country not proving greas disappointment to the traveller is Ger many. Even England. whose exchange remains relatively stable, has a coal strike which prevents travel and i'm. roses numerous other discomforts.
 German exchange if anything has turned slightly in favor of the dollar, so the dollar still enjoys considerable esteem i'll the enemy's Country. But comparatively few tourists had placed Germany on their intineraries, ai- ihough many are now changing their minds on this account.
 On the whole, home corners landing in New York in the next few months, may be expected to oppose any inter mingling in European affairs in the fu- ture

PARIS FULL OF VERY SORE AMERICANS, WITH MONEY MELTED

They planned their trips on the low price of francs in Amerfcan money, and now they find that exchange has gone up 90 per cent fin the last two or three months. French nhOpkeepers prepared for the Amerf- can invasion by marking their goods to offset the low value of the franc in dollars. These prices have not come down.)
 Paris, May 2S.-(Special.) )-The first month of the tourist season comes to an end and Paris is full of very, very sore Americans. They sit around the hotel lobbies and moan. For they have discovered that their money has melted as if by magic, and they will either have to cable home for funds or cut short their trip.
 They have discovered that the flimsy post-war European paper money which

For Good of the Community

CASSANDRA the Trojan seeress had the gift O of prophecy but an angered mytholog1cal deity, whose advances she had repulsed, decreed that she should not be believed. She told Iro- ians that Troy would fall. The gallant Hector laughed at her. She warned against the breaking of the walls to let in the Grecian horse of wood They would not listen Whatever she said would be, Apollo had decided that her hearers should hold in con- tempt. The horse entered and Troy was taken by the Greeks.
 The most famous of pessimists was discredit- ed. The only pessimist that should have had following had none Old Homer knew what he was about when he created this unique charac- ter and made her prominent in his wonderful epic.
 The world will not heed the prophets of evil times when it is enjoying itself It pays no at- tention to them when their dark forebodings might be of service in preventing the coming dis aster They are out of place when things are on the mend They are impossible in the human scheme.
 Homer sensed the eternal optimism of the human race when he gave us Cassandra. What could men accomplish if they saw the pitfalls in the way? What would they dare if they beheld all the dangers that lie in the path? What woman would bear child if she in cold blood visualized what that meant to her. The wor lives off glamour. The pioneers who blazed the way into the Kentucky and Tennessee Indian Wds with their women folk would not have taken their women there had they con ceived reliable mental pictures of their being butchered by the savage.
 W.P. c. Harding, governor of the federal re- serve board, said in Birmingham Friday: 'The pessimist is out of date He should have spoken in 1919, sounded his warning note when we were going too fast, not now when we need vim, vigor and life in the situation" The pessimist always did talk at the wrong time.
 The Creator made men optimistic because that is what leads them to fulfillment of their des- tiny The day that mankind believed his goal had been reached and that he had attained all the possible, that would be the day of the setting in of his decline
 Thewhole scheme of life is based on optimism When that departs from man and woman their blood has become cold and they can no longer lead. The least they can do for humanity is to get out of the way for the buoyant and hopeful procession of the optimists.
 The child is all optimism That it why it is happy The youth is optimistic. Thatis why he will do and dare and carve out new paths in wilderness that has seemed impenetrable. Old age is optimistic and endurable, or pessimistic and unendurable
 The optimist is like the little boy who gets pleasure out of calculating the number of days before Christmas. He does not hasten Christ mas. He does not hasten Christmas by one day. Az, Ir,v o,o ,,oi,,,1+1 1+ ho y,y,,y hooo,1cn

BERLIN, Aug 6.-The allies today
handed a sharp note to Germany demand
ing an apology from the German govern
ment and the dismissal Of the police who
arrested Captain Langevin of the French
army.
Captain Langevin's arrest aboard p
train has created a new German allied
incident.
The Germans allege that the captain
strolled up and down sleeping car puff
ing smoke In the face Of women pas
sengers. It is charged that when he was
asked to stop smoking he refused,
whereupon a German major knocked the
cigar ont of his mouth.
Captain Langevin then pulled the
emergency cord and stopped the train.
The train crew refused to move the train
until the captain was put off. The police
arrested him
