Something to Think About
Blu r. "A. WALKER

The inevitable ebb nils his soul
with inexpresslbie terror.
Though ne shuts his mouth hard
and says nothing to his suspecting
wife, he cannot Quell the sickening
fear.
Danger turks in the waves and in
the wind-in the very breath Of Idle
gossip.
The shoals are marked by fretting
foam leaping high in the air, but the
night is dark. His nerve is undone-
His once keen perception fails him.
And yet, If he is a true man, or
man in the making, this Is the one
time In his life when he will show
his mettle, grip the wheel with a
6rmer hold, bend his back and reso-
lutely face the snarling gale painting
in its effort to hurl his ship upon the
rocks.
In every life there is. a shipwreck
somewhere buried In the sands OF
unfOrgotten years.
1t tells the tale Of a day that is
DONE, Of fond hopes, that were swept
to sea and sucked under the waters
Of the inevitable ebb, from which
no man can always steer clear, but
against which every brave man will
battle until he makes port.

FIFTY years ago mathematical

He would walk up to blackboard
and ask people in the house to give
him two long numbers.
Given such numbers as 3,796, 402,-
s97 and 72,S75. 1885, $3.50 he would
place one below the other. announce
that he would multiply them. and
write beneath them the answer.
No one understood how hN could do
It. The people who beheld him gasped
in amazement at his powers, And he
went from town to town for several
weeks exciting wonder and admiration
till some skeptic in the audience took
the trouble to write down the numbers
and multiply them himself.
Then it was discovered that the
lightning calculator never made a
multiplication at all, but merely wrote
IN answer in the proper number Of
units, which Of course, was invariably
wrong.
A telegram to the next town and
prompt action by the local authorities
put an end to the calcuIator's career.
It is easy to work rapidly If you do
not work accurately, but 1t is Of little

In this world of progress men must
work both accurately and rapidly TO

THE INEVITABLY EBB


WHEN the ebb tide comes, ap.
parently determined to sweep
you on your feet and carry you down
to the waiting sea or when the storm
clouds darken the serene sky and OBJ
scure your bright, trustworthy guiding
star, summon all your courage and
hasten to reach the nearest friendly
port.
A man naturally thinks 1t will go
hard with him If the tide turns and
sets against him. -
If long accustomed to good fortune,
fair winds and sunny weather a
sudden burst Of opposition at its first
manifestation Of energy appals him.
For years he has been making rapid
progress, avoiding the reefs upon
which many Of his intimates have
been wrecked.
When they sank beneath the growl-
ing waters he smiled complacently
and congratulated himself on his su-
perior skill.
His craft was seaworthy, his vision
clear and his hand unerringly sure.
But now, as the ebb froths in anger,
he realizes that his boosted clever
ness was largely a matter of condi-
ton with which his ability had moth
ing to do.
he has fallen back so long on the
thought that he was a superman, pos
sessed of extraordinary prowess. the
change alarms him.

Upon their lids hot tears will fall.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER !. ROBINSON.

DON'T be afraid to laugh.
- A hearty laugh is as good
as medicine. 1t aids digestion.
1t shoves cares aside and brings
happiness to those who are sad.
Thackeray declared that "a
good laugh is sunshine in the
house."
The world may be wild over
jazzing; it may think too much
about pleasure and show. But
it is sorely in need Of more
whole-hearted- laughter. When
people really laugh out loud,
their glee reIaxes their nerves.
They can feel the exhilarating
tingle clear down to their toes.
A man needs rest from every
day cares. He needs to forget
temporarily vexations and sor-
rows which burden his mind. He
gets partial rest when asleep;
but after sleeping he sometimes
awakes more tired in mind and
body than when he lay down, be-
cause mischievous troubles
usually imEgined-have kept
creeping through his mind.
But when q man laughs from
pure Joy or because he sees
something or hears something
which actually appeals to his
sense Of humor, he gives his
mind a more complete rest than
at any other time during day or
! night.
It pays In happiness; It pays
in everyday accomplishments to
see the sunny side Of life.
The longAfaced. dreamy mortal
seldom has many friends. He
finds more troubles than he
actually has and exaggefates
those which are real.
In our pathways Of work and
our pathways OF rest we should
seek real causes for mirth.

New Ship Stabilizer
to Eliminate
Seasickness

PHILADELPHIA, April A.
Seasickness and "sea legs" will
be eliminated by the installation
on giant ocean lines Of a huge
gyro-stabiiizer, weighing 100
tons, test of which was wit
messed at the Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Com
pany's plant by number Of naval
officers and Representatives of
shipping concerns. The test was
declared to have been "a pro-
nounced success.
Designed to prevent the rolling
Of the largest ocean going ships,
those who witnessed the test said
that through the use Of tn device
passengers would be able TO stroll
on the decks regardless of how
rough the weather might be.
The device would not eliminate
pitching or riding OF great waves
in q storm, however, the experts
said. Aside from the greater
comfort to passengers as result
Of the steadiness Of the ships, 1t
also was stated that the stabilixer
could be used to roll vessel,
which would be effective in free
ing ships grounded on shoals.
