FRETTING NAUGHT BUT FOLLY
But Many Sermons on the Subject
Have Failed to Convince People
of ITS Useiessness.

In that doleful, delightful book, The
Education of Henry Adams" occurs a
phrase, the folly of fret" which is
better than the usual expression. the
uselesSneSs of worry"
Many sermons have been preached
many lectures delivered. many medical
opinions pronounced. many household
homilies uttered, on that theme.
The trend Of applied science in our
century is toward the reduction of
friction and the elimination of waste
And a big part of friction and Of
waste Is worry
We worry about the human machine
We imagine that all sorts of dreadful
things are about TO happen To US. Our
thoughts ought To be ON our work-and
they are diverted by our worries.
We worry about losing a position In
business or our standing In society.
There would he less excuse for anxiety
If we would spend the energy CON
sumed In trying to do our work still
better. trying 10 serve more Satisfac-
torily the community we live in, striv-
ing to discharge the various and deli
cate offices of friendship with in
creased tact and perception and sym
pathetic selleSSness.
Worry is quite another matter from
proper carefulness, that weighs a
proposition and looks all round its OBJ
ject ere acceptance.
A man who investigates before he
buys, who considers alternatives and
who asks questions before deciding,
who makes no leap In the dark, is not
open To the reproaCh of one whose
folly of fret" merely leads him In
frantic circles. like "A tethered donkey.
All his fuss and clamor issue in moth
ing but an ecstasy of motion and emo
tion.
Man power is too precious to be
thrown away In these gyrations that
are the pantomime of futility.
Give us more of the calm, big men
who plan and then proceed,
They seem to have time They do
not operate in a tiutter and fever
resembling the hen yard or the stock
pen. They make up their minds and
preserve their eQuanimity. Seeing
them 50 cool and controlled, those who
do everything in panic or II par0xysm
try their best to excite them by tell
ing them the house is burning down
or the world is coming to an end
But these quiet and capable ones
are not deceived. They know that 1t
is not for man to say when his own
life or his own work shall end. In
trust and peace they continue on their
way-avoiding the folly of fret" that
victimizes and weakens other men.-

Paul Block, Paris correspondent OF

through the devastated region. OF

the journey, from -Argonne

by the war, but the worst came after

ROmagne below Montfauc0n. When
ever the Americans take anything up
they do 1t in wholesale way. AL
though we h6d come solely to see
ruins, we could not pass this Gene
terry without visit. Ii is the only
one of its kind.
On IA gently rising hill purchased
outright for this purpose are buried
the II 400 Americans, who fell during
the fighting around Montfaucon Some

NAMED for centuries without proper care
and now have to be extensively repaired.
"Others fell into the hands Of careful col
1ectors, and have been passed down in sur
prisingly fine trim. We can usually tell
from the owners label in the front Of a
book just what to expect. To mention one
example, books from the library of the late
Robert Hoe, which up until 1911 was the
largest private library in this country, are
always in good shape. Mr.. Hoe evidently
took elaborate pains with them. Then we
have several volumes here from George

Americans Are Collectors
Americans have always displayed an un-
usual interest in collecting rare books, &C
cordihg to Mr.. Babe, although they have
not been given much credit for 1t. There
were book catalogues as far back as 1880.
Fortunately many of these early collectors
took patriotic interest in the development
of the United States and carefully collected
all material relating to it's historic growth.
Thus there is great deal of valuable his
torical data scattered about the various pri-
vate Libraries Of the country, which some
day will doubtless be turned over to uni
versities or otherwise made available to the
public. .........
In one case wealthy American collector
financed the preparation Of complete his
tory of all the various tribes of American
Indians. Several Of the finished volumes,
containing infinitely exact historical details
and accompanied by large numbers Of re-
markab1e Photographic plates, were recent
ly brought to the Anderson galleries and
placed on exhibit They will have to be
sold because unfortunately the wealthy col
lector died before the monumental work
was completed, and his heirs have not the
same interest in supporting it. The Library
of Congress- which is an extensive buyer
at these rare book auctions, is said to be
interested in obtaining the material.

Jew YORK CITY, May 27-Would you
N pay $4,000 for one little book? -
- This is the price recently paid at
the Anderson galleries here in New York for
one little volume of Will Shakespeare com
plete works, with Chambers portrait, dated
1923, 1t was first edition, of course, in
remarkably good condition, considering it's
vast age, and considered by the grati1ed
purchaser to be a great bargain as first edi-
lions go.
Here is something we'll worth remember
ing the next time you feel imposed upon at
having to pay $3.50 for the latest product
of your favorite author. You never can tell
in few years his works may be worth
a good deal more Some Of Joseph Conrad's
already bring as much sos per copy
while first edition Of Walt Whitman's
Leaves of Grass recently sold for $3.50.
But first editions, like all other antiques,
grow more valuable as they get older. An
author has to be dead long time before
his books will bring as much as $1,000
apiece, and few of the books published
nowadays are capable of surviving through
several centuries. Not that some Of them
are not of lasting merit, but the materials
Of which they are made are too fragile.
The Elizabethan literature was printed
on strong, thick paper, made by hand from
rags, and in many cases remains whole and
firm today. The Shakespear volume men
toned above, for instance, is in as perfect
condition as it was in the seventeenth cen
fury, except for a front page, where an ex-
pert eye can detect break in the water
mark Of the old paper, showing that it has
been mended.
"a good many OF the old books have to
be doctored," explained Mr.. A. Babe, Of the
Anderson galleries, as he pointed out to us
the almost imperceptible flaw in the precious
Shakespeare volume. '"There are, of course,
experts who specialize in this restoring
work. Some of the books have been washed
and ironed, in which case it is always appar-
ent. Many have been virtually ruined in
the big English Libraries, where they re-
