HOW WORK REWARDS
BY H. Arlington Bruce

TN a recent issue of the Century Magazine
appeared an article phrasing in new
form an old but still generally unappre-
clated truth. The article was ANONYMOUS.
was entitled "a Confession" and deail with
the perplexit1es of one long I.ainly in search
for contentment and peace Of mind.
Also the article told how both were at last
found, and how at the same time there was
an allaying Of the self-pity that is character

ingenious device had to be called into play"
And:
Little by little learned the lesson that
any work will do e we only develop sufficient
Wit to grasp its significance and understand
its surprising resources. Any kind of work
IS good enough for any kind of man, provid-
ed the man be good enough for the work.
This last quotation is especially to the
point in our age of widespread dicontens with
the particular kind of work the individual
finds himself called upon to do.
Not only are there many persons seeming
ly possessed with a craving to avoid work al.
together. There are many others whose la
ment is not that they have to work, but that
they are engaged in work which they deem

Enviously they say of some acquaintance:
If only had his job should have moth
ing of which to complain. His work is clean
and easy. He is not in slavery, as am"
Yet that same acquaintance, the chances

quaintance whose FORK seems to him ''clean-

that is epidemic, this hating Of our own Job
and wishing for somebody elses.
And Always it testifies to noint of view,
a mental attitude, that robs work OF the
beneficent possibilities it possesses For right
ly considered, as the author of "a Confess

like work to make life durably satisfactory. "
This because work, when one looks at it
sensibly and engages in it ardently, affords,
as nothing else can, tree play for instincts
which must gain expression or rend him in

The Instinct to grow and expand, the In

helpful, to contribute to the 'elfare of the
race, these and other instincts find their one

or works resentfully, thwarts and represses
them. Hence he suffers.
Tolstoi was right when, long ago, he at

RECUPERATIVE POWER
Rv DR.. Frank Crane

One Of the things few realize is the enor-
nous recuperative power of mankind.
No one can estimate the hidden resources
in human beings This is not only true in
individuals, where the most amazing recov-
cries take place, and people get we'll whom
the doctors have unanimously decided ought
to die but also, 1t is true Of nations and races.
The most prosecuted races have proved the
toughest and longest lived. The Jews today
are vigorous and efficient in every country
of the world, yet no people has been more OPP
pressed
After the Great War the amazing thing is
not the prostration of the world, but its re-
cuperation. Wherever men have been given
half chance, they have begun building pros
perity anew.
If the world could only get the burden Of
militarism and international anarchy of its
shoulders, it would leap forward with astound-
ing energy.
Because petulant, reactionary world could
not grasp the program of an international
itary power should be placed, the people are
spending over 80 cents in every dollar yet or
wars and preparations for war.
Hate, suspicion, reactionsm, and cynicism
still take their tremendous toll.
If people could only get together!
If France and Germany could only get to-
gether, quit denouncing and cursing, quit seek
ing vengeance, and take up cooperation
Human beings are still ninetenths savages
There is still a famine Of oself-restraint, Of
clear vision, and of Representatives..
Just one year Of the Golden Rule, operated
by the world, could put money in every mans
pocket, and joy and hope in every woman.
heart.
Why in the world do we consider love Sc
impractical, ideal, and theoretical? Has no
the experience of the world demonstrated tha
the most impractical, stupid, and deceivinl
thing is hate?
Why not get together, and believe in one
another? Have W. not had enough disastrous
trial with suspicion, contempt, and contest?
All this old world needs is chance. All i
needs is to get the incubus Of rival armies Of
it's back, SO that we could go to work I'M
troubled. But, alas! the most uncommon thing
in the world is Common Sense.

Significance of Bank Figures

COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY Girls
SINGER, in making public an analysis
Of banking conditions throughout the
country, added the information that "all
channels of commerce now seem to be &C
tive and f'there is every reason for the
expectation that we are now at the begin
ming of an era of prosperity"
This statement is not merely the opti-
mistic utterance Of one individual, for it is
supported by the concrete facts of increases
N bank resources, and, most of all, in bank
deposits.
Also, there is one eloquent column in the
report of the national bank figures; a
column that means more, perhaps, to the
business of the nation than any other, and
this is the figure which shows the sharp
decrease in loans and discounts.
Necessarily this means that loans have
been made and have not been carried over,
ana also that the present upbuilding Of all
industry is being financed, not by borrowed
capital from banks, but from the earnings
of these industries.
It Ia also notable fact that even the
bad news that comes out of Europe has
had but small effect on American business
and the threatened reprisals against the
protective tariff have not yet materialized
On the whole, it seems, from Mr.. Crissin-
gers published analysis that the affairs OF
the banks Of America have never been in
better condition to withstand any demands
that may be made upon them; a pleasing
fact to consider along with the bright out
look for holiday trade and the mounting
price of cotton. 49,.

INSTITUTION OF KIND IN
COUNTRY.

Marymount College and Academy,
Salina, Kansas, was dedicated June 4.
The state of Kansas has now laid
claim to having the finest school
building in the entire United States,
either public or denominational. The
building is spoken of as the million
dollar school, but the cost will run
far greater than that 1t will house
three hundred boarders comfortably,
with most of them in private rooms,
besides the army of instructors, cooks,
maids, laundresses, engineers and
other folks needed to make this mann
moth institution function as smooth
running college and academy for girls.
The chapel is as large as the ordinary
parish church. The building has been
under construction for the past three
years and is absolutely fireproof, steel
lumber being used throughout in place
of wood. The Berger Manufacturing
Co., one of the largest steel equip
ment manufacturers in the country,
expects to run a full page advertise
ment in the Saturday Evening Post,

of its type ever built and holding it

4 GERMAN PLAN
PRIEST OFFERS PLAN FOR STA
RILIZING EXCHANGE.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Rev. DIR. Martin Drexel, S. v. D..
who formerly lived in America, is the
author of plan for the restoration of
exchange values upon which German
newspapers and financial experts are
passing many favorable comments.
In addition to his work in this field,
Father Drexel is well known as the in
ventor of propeller for airplanes, an
Improvement on the phonograph, an
international system of shorthand,
and new kind of types.
The objective which Father Drexel
seeks through his plan is the resto-
ration of the value Of money by a
series of domestic and international
regulations which would make labor
the basis. He proposes that the state
give cereal grains a permanent and
unyarying price. This would make
these grains substitute for gold and
silver money. The money which DIR.
Drexel would have the state issue
would be made of practically worth-
less materials, SO as to be without In

PRIEST. IS HERO
QUELLs GREAT INDIAN JAIL MU-
TINY, HELPING WOUNDED.

(By N. C. w. G. News Service.)
The heroism of Catholic priest
was the outstanding feature of one of
the most sensational Jail riots in In
dia in recent years, when prisoners
in the Presidency Jail at Alipore,
nearly two thousand in number, at
tackled the wardens, drove them into
the veranda and tried to force an
exit.
The Rev. A. de Staercke, a member
of the Jesuit Order and chaplain of the
jail, stepped into the midst Of hail
of bullets, attended the wounded and
dying, Gained the prisoners and saved
scores of lives. He did this unarmed,
despite the statement of the authori-
ties that it was not safe even for
armed men to venture into the Jail.
The outbreak apparently had been
carefully planned and the 1900 pris-
oners were divided into five bands;
one to attack the gate, a second to
hand on the missiles, third to keep
up the supply, fourth to set fire to
the edifice and a fifth to break through
the outer walls. Failure was due to
one of the first three gangs taking
fright and withdrawing at the criti.
cal moment. This caused hesitation
and loss of time and gave the wardens,
who had been driven into a corner
by sudden and ferocious attack, an
opportunity to. rally. Many prisoners
were killed and wounded.
