~ HE future of the American
Merchant Marine is in the
4 hands of you and us, the
travelling and shipping public.
Il we will concentrate your pa
tronage on American steamers
we can give them so much bust
hess that they can afford to pay
an American scale of wages and
yet make money.
The foreign steamship lines
are boasting that they have such
n. grip upon Americas ocean
trade that a gloomy future
awaits the purchasers of Ship
ping Board vessels, even if the
subsidy bill is passed.
That's up to us Americans.
BY the operation of the ocean
rates conference rates for pas
sengers and freight are identical
by all competing lines. So it
costs us nothing to be patriotic.
When we plan trip to Eu-
rope, Sout' America, the West
Indies or the Far East let's go
on an American steamer. In so
far as we control the routing of
,xoorf nr ;oport shipment lots
send them by American lines.
The pending subsidy bill is
necessary to encourage private
capital to purchase the Shipping
Board steamers. In the mean
time. both before and after that
purchase, YOU and we can do
more to establish the American
Merchant Marine than all the
subsidies in the world.

THE SURE WAY TO
HAPPINESS
BY s. +. RISER.

DE sure that every night you sleep
ID Eight hours, and never any less;
Arrange things so that you can keep
From stumbling into foolishness;
Eat just enough, and never more;
Don't run for cars or stub your toe;
II you must leap, look well before,
And choose soft, safe spot below.
nON'T fail to have clean teeth and sound,
IL Avoid all habits that are base;
Keep no old, rusty gun around,
And wear a smile upon your face;
Take proper outdoor exercise,
Flex all your muscles every day;
Be always sure to cauterize
Your cuts and scratches right away.
STAY far from all the places where
~ The germs and microbes congregate;
At nicht be sure to breathe pure air,
Pursue the narrow path and straight
Don't let exhaustion drag you down,
Rest when you feel the need of rest;
Live in some quiet part of town,
And think that all is for the best
nON'T be a slave to work, but find
~ Enjoyment in the things you do;
Be sure to have sweet peace-of-m mind,
Let nothing ever anger you;
Drink water that is clear and pure,
Be always hopeful, never sad;
Don't envy others, and be sure
To keep from going to the bad.
IF you ,oill foIoD zeulously
These simple teachings, and possess
An ample fortune, you may be
Repaid sOith health and happiness.

The War Is OUer.

q TRANCE as it may seem,
y there are some too enthusi-
~ astic Americans who do not
yet know that the war we won
for Britain is over.
Recently President Harding re
ceived DR.. Otto Wiedfeldt as
German ambassador, thus resum-
ing full diplomatic and friendly
relations with Germany.
A few days later a good
American citizen of German
birth, a resident of New York,
desiring to take neighborly note
of a celebration of some German
singing societies, hung the
American and German flags side
by side. He was jeered and
looted and tormented bv an
ultra patriotic mob.
The flag of every nation
should be respected; and all good
Americans should resume the
process of proving that even
those who are needlessly hostile
on the other side can here live
as Americans in peaceful and
cooperating relationship.

Opium Trade
World Curse
~ HE worlds legitimate medi-
cal need for opium can, it

HE world s legltlmate meui-
cal need for opium can, it
is estimated, be supplied by
three tons annually.
Britain's opium monopoly in
India produces yearly about
1878 tons.
British power the world over
is used to provide markets for
this great excess production.
In this months Atlantic
Monthly, Ellen N. La Motto, an
authority, presents astounding
figures on this subject.
In ten years the receipts from
opium locally consumed in India
increased 68 per cent. India has
1900 licensed opium shops.
In the Straits Settlement half
the local governments revenue
comes from opium sales and ex
else duties. In certain of the
unfederated Malay States, 45
per cent.
Already in Mesopotamia, un
der a mandate to be governed
"for the benefit of it's people,
British rule is setting up opium
outlets, says Mrs. La Motto.
It is not pleasant reflec-
ton to think that, by our as
sistance in winning the war,
we have placed something like
one million square miles at the
disposal of the British Empire,
consisting largely of primitive
peoples, unfit for self-govern-
ment, yet fit to become Gus
toners of the British opium
monopoly.
International agreements for
tue control of the narcotic drug
menace will have scant chance
of success until British interest
in opium profits is somehow
eliminated.
The better sense of the Eng
lish people ought to see to this,
else world opinion will condemn.

Put American
Ships at Work
THE average iayman is much
mystified by the hesitation
opd doIay of tho Concross

mystified by the hesitation
and delay of the Congress
in passing what is commonly
called the Administration Ship
Subsidy Bill.
AS a matter of fact, this bill
might just as we'll be called a
Ship Salvage Bill. For it under
takes to save for the United
States the thousands of millions
spent by the Shipping Board
upon vessels now idle and rot
ting at their wharves.
As Senator Wesley l.. Jones,
chairman of the Commerce Com
mittee, has pointed ous, the bill
has been treated thus far not
as a partisan but as an Ameri-
can question. Democrats and Re-
publicans on the Shipping Board
have endorsed it. Democratic
papers, organizations and indi-
viduals have urged it. Demo
Gratis in the Senate are as ear
nestly in favor of it as Republic
ans, and they are willing to aid
and hurry its passage.
President Harding also, both
as leader of his party and as the
spokesman of our country's in
terests, has shown his firm de-
termination to secure this legis-
lation. He is reported as having
sharply lectured the members of
the House responsible for leg
islation because of their delay in
reporting the bill. The Presi-
dent has made it clear that he
desires ship subsidy legislation
above everything else.
Why, then, this mysterious de-
lay' We are inclined to believe
that our inspired cartoonist sees
clearly when he discerns, behind
the huge wharfage piles at which
our ambitious United States
Merchant Marine is tugging, the
masterful figures Of John Bull
and his fiscal agents in the
United States, J. p. Morgan &
Co., who have so zealously pro-
NOTED British shipping interests
at the expense of the American.
The American People call to
the legislative wharf-hand to re
lease the rope and LET THE
VESSEL GO.

The Girls Too YOunQ

AIRS MCCORMICK, daughter of John D. Rookie
Wo feller, objects to her daughter sixteen years
A'A DID, marrying "a Swiss riding master, nearly
ffty.'' The objection is sound. The difference in
age is too great and girl should marry at sixteen.
One objection formally offered in court by the
Young girls mother referred to the poverty of the
bridegroom That means nothing. He is richer,
perhaps, than Mr.. Rockefeller when he married
the young lady's grandmother. The legal objec-
ton also recites that the proposed marriage might
"imperil important property rights" That really
isn't an objection. For the chances at least
ten to one that the girl would be happier WITH
OUT than WITH the gigantic fortune. These
things the mother knows. She is making the fight
as her lawyers advise to protect her daughter from
an unwise marriage.

thoughts inward and inclosed himself
in a shell of selfishness. He was the
sole inhabitant of his little world and
charity was his servant the only needs
he really believed in were his own
needs; to their supply and protection
his means were consecrated.
But now McKeefrey was strangely
interested. Something of old sympathy
and youthful feeling stirred in his
crusty heart. He was touched by the
thought of boyish anticipations and
afraid for the disappointments that he
foresaw. He remembered that once
his own heart had been warm and
hopeful, that he had made effort for
good and sent out dreams into the

were contrived and the boys imagined
that they heard things as they listened
