The Other Fellows Job
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +

The Other Fellows Job
The other fellows job is always tn
easiest and the one when anyone cal
do. No matter how much specialize
ton and knowledge our JOB may take
the other fellows work requires bu
the services of novice and anyone
can do that
The Mecca of comfort and ease al
ways lies over the hill or in the neigh
boris yard. In simple words, distance
lends enchantment to the view.
Never day passes but that some
egoistic individual will earnestly tel.
his neighbor how much better he
could do that neighbours work than
the neighbor can himself, much tt
the edification of the neighbor and
the world in general which for most
part discounts about SO per cent OF
the free air that is being peddled.
| OF course when someone tells an
other person about how much better
he could do the work of the second
party than the second party himself the
world bows down before the colossal
intellect of the presumptive one and
humb bly, begs that individual to aspire
to ambitions like those that oyerpOW-
cred, Napoleon or the Kaiser.
Perhaps. But more likely the OBJ
trusive individual is merely laughed
at openly or secretly by all who know
him. They are cognizantl of his I'M
limited p6wers but they are also alive
to the thousand and one limitations
he has which they know far out
weigh the verbosity that he possesses.
1t is the common opinion of People
who do things that the word of those
whose advice is freer than the air hui
man beings breathe, are to be dis
counted almost a hundred per cent in
value and the remainder to be sailed
sufficiently to kill all taste of fresh
ness.
1t is common thing for people TO
see in the other fellows work nc ele-
ment of difficulty. They become SO sat
urated with their own occupations and
endeavors that all other labors seem
trivial indeed and fit only for anna
tours.
The worst feature is that they make
the mistake Of continually deprecat-
ing the other fellows task and con-
stantly declare the ease and accuracy
with which they could perform the
task to better results. They discard
all the experience and special know
ledge of the individual in the work
and presume that they, mere novices
who know no more than to criticise,
can do the work better, in fact per-
fectly.
Oh yes, there are such people. If
you do not believe it ask some pers-
on whose work is more or less before
the public eye. For instance, there
are thousands of proofreaders who

CHAPTER of the American Red Cross,
Louis c. Huber of Detroit, Mich, will
see, in September, his brothers and sis
tiers in Louisville for the first time in
Is years
Huber left Louisville when nineteen
years old, going to Cincinnati for a
period of three years and then to De
troit, where one month later his fam
ily lost trace of him. Efforts to com
municate with him proved futile, and
it is thought that several changes in
residences Of his brothers and sisters
caused his letters to 60 astray.
In February Mrs. NJ. H. Heinrich

a sister, determined to make another
effort to locate him and appealed to
the Red Cross Chapter.
The answer came several weeks la
ter that Louis G. Huber of Louis
Vile, giving as an emergency address
Detroit, had seen war service and his
military connections were given. These
were forwarded to the Red Cross at
Detroit and few weeks ago Louis
Huber, No. 4S14 Third avenue, De-
troit. wrote to Mrs. Heinrich that he
was s'comingpin September to spend q
month with the folks at home"

FIND BOTTLE OF NUGGETS
Discovery Leads to Gold Hunt on
Slope Of Cascade Mountains.

| % Slope of Cascade Mountains.
A small bottle of gold nuggets
found lying under the skeleton Of a
man discovered in the woods, near
Bothnel, 20 miles from Seattle,
Wash, has started stampede for
placer claims on creeks and rivers
there, and some pans of color are
the rule
1t was estimated the skeleton was
of man dead eight to rem years, but
at his side were the remnants of min
ing paraphernalia- pan. pick and
shovel. A heavy pocket knife, gold
ring and amber bit Of pipe were
picked up, in addition to the bottle
Of nuggets. Rumor at once started
the theory that he had prospected
near where he died and every avail
able creek, river and lake shore is be-
ing examined by mining experts In
the hope that the gravel strata from
which the dead man took his nuggets
may be found.
For years there has been a per-
sistent report that the western slope
Of the Cascade mountains contained
gold-bearing gravel, but no great
pocket has ever been found, so far as
is known. However, good, wages may
be made in a long day by working
the sands of many of the river beds
near here, whose sources are the
peaks of the Cascades.

never read a line of proof who can
do so much better than the man who
has devoted years to the tas'A- until
they try it. A trial shows them to
be SO much inferior to the regular
man on the job that there is no
comparison.
1t is just another case of the person
so selfsatisfied that mistakes are not
allowable except when he makes
them. He may know that the mapor-
ity of things men do are fraught with
mistakes yet he never can see why
any one but himself should err
Then the other fellows job is not
only easy and requires no special

pie but the very ease and comic, :
with which it can be performed makes
it always the more attractive.

| The worst casualties suffered by
| American soldiers during the World
war are just beginning to show them
selves BY contrast troops wounded
on the battlefields are lucky compared
with the greatly increased casualties
Of today, according to G. J. Harris, an
official Of the American Legions ma
tional headquarters at Indianapolis,
In charge Of ex-soldier claims against
the government.
There is an average of two ex-
soldier suicides day. Mr.. Harris de-
clares, following a study of reports.
These men, Mr.. Harris finds, almost
without exception, were In the battle
lines in France. These soldiers, the
legion official contends, were dis
charged by army doctors as normal.
Since the war, however. these men,
struggling for living, have under
gone mental anguish that their war
racked nerves could not withstand.
Two Ways Open.
There are two ways In which the
legion hopes to minister to these men
tai cases and to prevent their increase,
Mr.. Harris points out. The Langly
bill, now law, provides $17,OO0,OOO
for the construction Of new hospitals.
The larger portion of this money is
to be spent in creating facilities for
treating the o-psychfatrics, mental
patients. The legion is also preparing
to petition congress TO liberalize the
present Sweet BILL This bill now
makes it impossible for an ex-soldier
to obtain government treatment for
war injuries which show up more than
two years after discharge from serv-
Ice. The legion contends that it Nigh.
easily be five years after discharge
before physical and mental effects Of
his service injuries would appear.
Mr.. Harris further charges that the
United States Veterans bureau, In
charge of the trea unent. and rehabili-
tation of the Worlds war disabled,
is in error concerning the gravity Of
the neuro-psychiatric sufferers. A re-
cent bureau report shows that the
bureaus total capacity for treatment

beds.
Gets Full Reports
Mr.. Harris says he has reports
from legion Iiaison representatives in
each of the bureaus IA regional dis
riots to show that in four Of the ii
districts alone there are 24,5O6 mental
cases on record. These four districts
include West Virginia, District of Co.
umbia, Virginia, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland,
Florida, Georgia, Nebraska. Iowa,
Kansas, Missouri, Washington, Oregon
md Idaho. OF the number 2,119 are

The theme Of the convention was: /:
What's Worth While?" Under this
caption practically every phase of

resulting very proitably to the ad-,
vanced work Of the organization and
Its members.
The social life of the delegates
was given concrete expression In the
arrangements Of the program In that
provision was made for an after
noon swim and an early morning
hike and breakfast. The Chapman
pastor and people entertained the
convention In n very delightful man
ner, opening homes and hearts alike
to make the delegates forget the
warmth to some extent.
Beside transacting the usual for
NAL business Of the convention some
very progressive steps were taken;
especially when 1t was decided to
conduct summer assembly for the
young people sometime in June of
next year. The assembly will last
ten days, and the convention Of the
Luther League will be held in con-
junction with it. The executive COM
mittee of the league has charge Of
