MIRACLES
By DR.. Frank Crane

The world is full of them. Life is crowded
with them. In fact, it is a wholly miraculous
world, and life itself is the greatest of all
miracles.
Multiplying one Irish potato and makirlg a
dozen out of it, by putting it in the ground is
quite as amazing as he multiplication of the
loaveS and fishes.
And what Hindoo trick can equal the farmers,
who takes handful of wheat and scatters it
on the good brown earth and by and by comes
back and reapS bushel?
Turning water into wine was a thing that
surprised the guests at the wedding in Cana,
but is it any more astounding than to stick a
dry twig in the ground and make it bear grapes
from which wine is pressed?
There are no infidelS. Infidel is just a
polemic term. 1t is an epithet we use in the
game of arguing, which, as other games, is
diverting but arrives nowhere.
Everybody believes in God, though he may
not use that name.
God is simply label which we apply to that
mysterious Someone or Something that is be-
hind and causes those htings we call Forces.
Whoever plants a seed, begetS child, sends
Telegram or drives an automobile, believes in
no degree understands.
We are all handling Mystery every moment
The great Spirit brushes against us at every
turn.
We sink at night into the miracle of sleep
and at morning greet the miracle of reviving
consciousness which is quite as wonderful IS
icing born.
We take food, and lean on God to perform
the miracle of changing it into bone and musrle
The doltor gives us pills which miraculously
allay ohr fever.
Two younglings meet in Spring and loi the
| miracle of love trembles along their veins.
More 1racleS go in EdiSonS Worship thar
would fill two New Testame1ts.
morning glory seed is taken from thu
claSped hand of a ncummy and sprouts after Z
! thousand years.
A message is written in New oYrk and stimuli
taneously it is reproduced in Paris, by mea Is
of wireless telegraphy.
A woman whit broken heart goes to hen
closet and cries out to the Infinite; she comes
out brave, serene, at peace. What hand has
an laid upon her soul?
Out of mystery we come through the gates
of birth; into mystery we go through the door
of death; and all the days of our transit we
have never left the skirts of mystery.
Miracles?

TO IMPRESS OTHERS
BY H. Addington Bruce


THERE is just one way to make other
people feel that one really amounts
| - to something. That way is to busy
ones sell capably and self-forgetting'y Ii
| useful work.
Those who do no work at all need never
| to inrress others with the idea that they
| are 'somebodies"
IdIing luxuriously, making a great show
in their manner of living, they may indeed
succeed in ar using envious sentiments. And
from sheer self interest others may treat
them flatteringly.
But let them not for a moment delude
themselves into imagining that they actual
Iy are regarded as superior beings.
Always the acid test, "How useful are
you?" is being applied to them, consciously
or unconsciously. And their obvious use
lessness creates a contempt which not even
the most jealous of their flatterers can al
ways hide.
time reveals to them the painful truth
that at heart they are looked down upon, not
up to-; are despised, not esteemed.
Nor is it any avail to attempt to impress
ones great worth
Boosting is always looked upon with sus-
picion, and rightly so. Nobody boasts ex-
cept the man who knows in his soul that he
does not amount to much, and is desperately
anxious to conceal this knowledge from him
self as we'll as from others.
himself as to become arrogantly conceited.
But himself is the only person he fools. 9th
ers are only amused by his desperate eff
forts to make favorable impression
They know that true worth shows itself in
Deeds not in words. They know, too, that
true worth is always content to let its deeds
determine it's appraisal.
True worth, for that matter, gives no
thought to the appraisal Of others. True
worth is concerned only with doing worthy
deeds worthily. 1t is it's own severest critic
and judge.
But always it has it's reward, not merely
in greater happiness, but in the esteem which
the conceited, the boastful and the gilded
do-nothings forever see eluding their anx-
ious grasp. "There is a man who does
things There Is a man worth WHILE" is
the spontaneous verdict Of the public, YER
dict the do-nothings and the do-littles never
receive.
" 'Tis deeds must win the price,, as
Shakespeare wrote. And with the proverb-
makers one may add, "Great soul, great
deeds"
Be not deceived into believing otherwise.
If you would win and hold the good opin-
ion of mankind, work. Give to your work
the best that is in you. And strive day after
day to make that best better.
Then you need never doubt the impress
you will leave on other people.

finally reached the top, carrying a rope. All
of the party, including three women, ascend
ed by this rope. They were accompanied by
one Indian from Acoma, named Henry John
son, who had never been on the mesa before,
although he IS born in sight of it. he had
always regarded the ascent as impossible.
Such a feat by women is not as unusual
in the Southwest as it would be considered
in the East. Down in that country women
seem to have taken all outdoors as their
province 1t is hardly an exaggeration to say
that when you get outside tue towns, which
are few and small, nearly half the women you
have on trousers. Riding breaches and
puttees have become an almost conventional
garb for women in the West. They ride, fish,
tramp and camp out just as the men do. It
is surprising how the women take to the hills
and to horseback.
Some scientists say that women are more
primitive and closer to Nature than men,
This would seem to be borne out by the fact
that often women from the East adjust them
selves to the outdoor life more easily and
seem to like it better than their men folks.
Woman's place is doubtless still in the home,
but if she is young and has pep, she certainly
does enjoy getting out of it.

! where he has been, and what he has done,
and whom he has seen every time he comes
home.
She sits in judgment on his food and tells
him how bad everything he likes is for his
stomach She turns his old friends out of
the house and installs new ones. She buys
his neckties and makes him wear his hair
| the way she thinks is becoming, and he finds
that he has just as much liberty Fidb
has when his mistress takes him out on the
end of a leash.
| A girl gets married She also has been
free to follow her own inclinations. Perhaps
she has been business girl. She has nan
her own pocketbook. She has gone to the
places of amusement she fancied. She has
been esteemed of sufficient intelligence to
join such clubs appealed to her, and to
generally order her own life along the lines
she desired.
But she finds that husband thinks that
home is combination harem and work
house. She must beg his permission to go
to places. She must ask for what money
she needs. She can't have any innocent
friendships with other men. She can't even
go to the movies if he augustly disapproyes.
Is it any wonder that these two people
rebel against the intolerable conditions they
force on each other? Is it strange that they
come to hate each other, because each sees
in the other tyrant who is trying to re-
duce him or her to slavery? Is it marvel
that those who have the courage end such
prison sentence by divorce.
Look at the widows and widowers about
you. How often they are almost indecently
reconciled to their loss. 1t is because, for
the first time in fifteen or twenty years, they
are enjoying the privilege of doing single
thing they wanted to, or of going to place
without asking some ones permission, or
having to offer an explanation afterwards Of
why they did it.
Parents are equally tyrannical to their
children. In the majority OF homes battle
royal RACES perpetually in which the parents
fight tooth and nail for absolute dominion
over their children, and the children strug-
gle frantically for self-determination.
Of course, little children must be con-
trolled, but parents never realize that their
sons and daughters grow up and come to
have right to their own lives, and so father
and mother never give them an inch of per-
sonal liberty until the children achieve It by
leaving home
You could stop divorce, you could stop
family spats and pickering, you could keep
the children at home if you would only &C
cord to other people the right to do as they
please, and hold their own opillions--lf you
would only give them little personal liberty.
Try it and see it work.

DOROTHY DIX TALkS-PERSONAL LIBERTY

@HERE is nothing more curious

THERE Is nothing more curious than
| this: That the one boon in life that
| - each Of us Graves above all other bless
ings is personal liberty, yet the one thing
that we are most loath to accord to others
is this same personal liberty that we desire
so ardently for ourselves.
l. Riches, success, love, they dust and
ashes in our teeth without freedom. What
lis money worth if we cannot spend it as we
| individually choose to crafty our individual
Whims and taste? What mockery the
plaudits of the world if some tyrant behind
the scenes is crushing all the joy out OF ex-
istence for us! What sweetness is there in
love that binds US hand and foot with thou
sand silk fetters
We all know this. We have all felt this
in bitterness of soul beyond speech. We
know that no slave, however pampered, is
happy, and that when we rob those about us
of their personal liberty that there is no ade-
quate atonement that we can make to them
for their loss, but our desire to boss is so
great that we go on devasting the lives Of
even our best beloved. We will give them
anything but freedom. We will make any
sacrifice for them except the sacrifice of let
ting them do their own way, instead of max
ing them do ours.
This is the real fly in the ointment Of
matrimony. This is the secret Of the increase
in divorce. This is what's the matter with
domesticity generally; this is the answer to
the conundrum of why children leave home,
and why brothers and sisters so often fly to
the uttermost ends of the earth to get as far
from each other as possible.
When the average man and woman get
married they are in love with each other, and
they go into matrimony in good faith, in
tending to try to make a ''go" of it, and es-
tablish happy home. One out of twelve Of
these marriages ends in the divorce court.
and most of the remainder degenerate into
an endurance contest. Very few are sue
cessful from the point of view of bringing any
well being and contentment to either hus-
band Or wife.
Yet the men and the woman are fine, up
right, honorable, intelligent people. Nobody
can explain why they couldn't get along to
gether, nor why their love persisted so soon.
1t is because neither one was willing to
accord the other any personal liberty, and
Cupid simply turns up his toes and dies in
the air of jail. And the prison atmosphere
is particularly fatal in these days when the
breath of liberty is the very breath of life
to us all, and when without it we had rather
be dead than alive.
A man has been accustomed to being his
own master, to going and coming as he
pleased, to eating what he liked, to having
his hair cut the way he fancied, and to wear
ing the clothes he preferred. He gets mar
ried and the very first thing his wife does
is to take his latch key away from him, and
to put him through a third degree about

QUIPS AND QUIDDITlES

The annual inspection of the territorial
battalion had taken place, and had passed
off satisfactorily, or was about to pass off
satisfactorily.
The band formed up, and the bandmajor
gave the order to march. The musicians
struck up lively air, and stepped off
briskIy.
On the left of the front rank, however,
there was a player of the big bass horn, and
after marching little way this man sudden
ly stopped playing and stood still.
Naturally thi. maneuver threw the COM
rades moving behind him in confusion.
'Move on, mani" roared the bandmajor.
March! What on earth are you waitin g
for?"
''Be aisy, sir, be aisy,'' replied the bass
horn player. GIVE got fifteen bars rest!"

As to "pre-War" Prices

wwT ILL prices return to their pre-war
W. level? Most of the millions who
W ask the question do not pause to
consider just what ''pre-war level'' denotes.
The year 1913 is commonly taken as basis
for comparison, and prices are said to be re-
ceding or advancing as they move toward or
away from the market values then prevail
ing 1t is sometimes assumed, moreover,
that the advances which came after 1918 are
chargeable entirely to the war and that
peace, consequently, should cancel by dimes
and dollars all those additions to the coun-
try's 1iving-costs.
But this view leaves out of account the i'm
portant fact that the cost Of living was on
the increase before the world disaster of
1914 befell, and had been steadily on the in-
crease for well-nigh two decades. An econ
omist writing for the Washington Herald
presents an enlightening summary of devel-
opments in the retail prices of food from
1890 to 1921. In the following table the year
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1921-09-08

It IS thus evident that the rate Of advance
in retail prices was less than one point year
in the period 1S95-1905, but that in the en-
suing three years it grew to more than two
points a year. Had this rate obtained from
1913 to 1921, says the Herald economist,
"the present level, determined by normal in
crease, would be somewhere near 1875 on the
basis of 100 for 1913"
Now it so happens that standard prices in
the United States stood at about lao in June
of the current year. There were some in
creases in the two following months, caused
by seasonal shifts in supply and demand, but
none of highly significant nature. Appar-
emily then we are not far from what may be
called normal if not "pre-war" level. Fac
tors that made for initiation have been dealt
decisive blows; but "basic COST factors, as
economists term them, factors which were
operative before the war and independently
of any special interest, continue at work.
