A Test of Imagination

IF you wish distraction from the
cares of earth, think of this:
i Before a recent meeting of
astronomers in Santa Fe, n. NJ,
pictures were screened of floating
masses of incandescent gas con
tanning matter enough to condense
into 10000 suns, each the possible
center of universe as large as our
own.
Their distance was rcckoned at
one million light years. A light
year means the time required for a
ray OF light travelling at 1S6.324
miles per second to speed for 81
558,149 seconds.
Figure that, multiply by a
million, then try to imagine a
space so far distant where worlds
like our own may be forming
beyond our power to count.
or course, you cant do it. But
the effort may temporarily reduce
your feeling of self-importance.
The Washington times., 1922-09-27

THE canine protector OF his
l. human masters life and
property and the steward Of his
Divine Masters trust in labor
and service should neither
slumber nor sleep.
The humblest task has that
fiduciary quality, and the sim
plest job has that divine value,
IL you choose to glorify it-and
yourself-in this fashion.
Without enslaving yourself 10
your work, you can keep al.
ways open-eyed to It's implic4.
tions and so make Il a means
OF JOY and Of growth--a living
and life.
Opportunity cannot elude such
a one. Better than the dog who
never sleeps, he Is in hot pursuit.
He is bound to catch up with
Opportunity-and to catch II.

Ford As a Prophet.

YYENRY FORD says that in the
II new order which is coming
III the big successes in business
will be scored by those who raise
wages, improve service and reduce
prices.
lnasmuch as Henry has done all
three, he can justly argue that
what he predicts is not impossible.
Certainly, as an ideal, Henry S
notion is greatly preferable to the
trust building and public utility
manipulation of the old order,
which aimed in exactly the oppo-
site direction.
We were always told that the
economies of combination in place
of the wastes of competition would
produce benefits enough to go
around.
They might have been enough
to go around had they been passed
around. But about all that the
average citizen got was the sting
of higher prices or the recoil from
labor wars due to oppressive
working conditions and low wages.
AS we look back upon the Gu
rious punishments of bygone days
and wonder that folks should ever
be so foolishly cruel, so our de-
scendants may in retrospect mar
vel at the stupidity of our preda-
tory system.
1t is so much more fun to live
and let live

THINGS THAT NEVER END.
BY S. E. Kiser

THE strikes that cause alarm at present
i Will all be settled, pro or con,
And for a time things may be pleasant
With nothing startling going on,
But every summer brings the swallow,
The passing seasons all return.
And other strikes are sure to follow
And fill the public with concern.
THE Greeks again have been defeated,
i Their hopes were sweet, but couldn't
last:
Their army has been roughly treated,
Such things have happened in the past!
In Athens now the days are murky,
The people worry and are sore,
But Greece will soon be fighting Turkey
And getting beaten up once more.
IN every State and every section
J ReactiCn-r;oS hit" tho H'rf
II may be said, In this connection,
Tha. prog, ess tak,., a''" .'S. "p.r''
But always there are Mauds and Marys
To try to charm the Toms and Dicks;
Next season the reaCtionarics
VIII show their same old box OF tricks.
THE girls are wearing longer dresses,
i Their dai-tv ankles fainfi" SHOW;
The nurses and tn" goveruesses.
Now hardly noticed, come and go.
But nc, r mind although t"> to>kng
Is temporarily subdued,
Next year the new styles will be shocking
To every male and female prude.

SAP and SALT

Success goes to the progressive man, pro
yided he does plenty of advertising.
The cheapest man to hire usually asks the
highest fee.
When the teeth are neglected, the morals
are quite apt to follow suit.
The reason so many folks get poor pay is
because they do poor work.
Law would do lot more good If it told us
what CAN do rather than what we CAN'T.
All women charming until they are
spoiled by flattery, and all men until they
soak up too much JOSH.
good way to quarrel is to let the other
fellow do all the talking, and then agree with
him.

EUery Man s
Adventure
n ECENTLY Leonard Day,
n San Francisco waiter, breezed

II San Francisco waiter, breezed
~ into New York with his Aire-
dale dog trailing proudly behind
him. Day had contracted with a
San Francisco news syndicate to
walk 10,585 miles in fourteen
months. The conditions are that
he must not have any money in his
possession at any time, cannot
solicit any personal favors or take
a lift along the road except in
case of injury.
He was to walk around the rim
of the United States without assist
ance of any kind. He left the
California city on November 20
and walked east by the southern
route, using the old Spanish trail.
He will return from Bangor, Me-,
by the northern route through
Buffalo, Chicago and Portland,
Ore.
This exploit should be given
publicity because it ought to en-
courage young people to do SINH
lar stunts.
Walking is every mans adven-
ture.
1t is probably the most inter-
esting exercise in the world as
well as being most healthy.
1t has one of the chief elements
of ideal fun in it. 1t costs nothing.
The amount of fun in any sort of
amusement is directly decreased in
proportion to the amount of money
it costs.
There is no better way to see
the country and to lay ones mind
close up against Nature than to
walk along the highway.
People who skim along in auto
mobiles hear about as much of the
music of Nature as a man would
hear by running in one door of
the grand opera and out the
other.
And there is an exhilaration in
the broad highway, in being un-
trammeled by clothes, servants
and comforts" that stimulates
the soul.
No man has tasted life until he
has thoroughly tried out how
utterly independent he can be,
until he has discovered how little
he needs the service of other
people.
Let man take his foot in his
hand and start out down the road
to nowhere and he can sing full
throatcd the hymn of Whitman:
Il utter my barbaric yawp over
the roofs of the world"
