THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS.

This is the road to Happiness:
start now, from Where You Are;
Turn to the right and keep straight
on"
And you'll not find it far
Along the path of Willing Feet
And over Heartease Hill,
Across the fields of Sweet Content,
The stream of Glad Good Will;
Then through the lane of Loving Heart,
The gate that's called To-day,
And down the steps of Little Things
Into the Common Way.
And take the cloak of Charity,
The staff of Wise Employ,
A loaf of bread of Daily Grace,
A flask well filled with JOY;
A word of cheer, a helping hand
Some good to give or share,
A bit of song, high resolve,
A hope, a smile, a prayer.
And in the place of Duty Done,
Beside the door of Home,
You'll find the house of Happiness
For Happiness does not roam.

HOUSE OF LORDS
TO Be REFORMED
Observers Look for Split in
Coalition Cabinet; Out
siders Would be Ad-
mitted to Sit.

LONDON - The reform of the
House Of Lords is a perennial problem
in British politics, and according to
many astute political observers. It may
prove to be the rock on which the co.
kairon will split. 1t is considered more
Than possible that this will be the re-
suit II the present government insists
in grasping the nettle firmly.
1t is generally said that the conser-
NATIVES want to reform the upper house
Dof parliament by making 1t an iron
clad permanent conservative body.
while the liberals are striving TO di.
hte conservatism as much as possible.
The government Of former Premier
Asquith reformed the Lords by taking
away its power to kill bills originating
IN the House Of Lords although il came
to them by annual vote for three
years. The principal motive for this
reform was 10 make liberal Irish leg
1slation possible.
The upper house Tuesday will deal
with proposals OF Premier Lloyd
George cabinet. which resemble more
q declaration OF principles than q def.
dnite plan Of reform. The government
proposes that the membership OF the
house Of Lords consist Of $50 members,
According to the present plan, the
house shall consist, in addition to peers
OF royal blood and law lords. Of mem.
beers elected from outside, including he.
riditary peers elected by their order and
members nominated by the crown. the
number Of the latter TO be fixed by
statute. The terms Of the elected lords
also would be fixed by statute. and
they would be eligible for reelection.
The government proposes that the
lords shall not reject or amend finan.
cial bills, and the question whether q
D given bill is a financial brl would be
decided by a Joint committee OF the
two houses.
Everybody apparently agrees that

Big Corporations Turn to New
Plan Which Interests Even
Those Who do Business
4 With Interests.
BY 0. A. MATHER

More and more Americas large cor
porations are espoucing the plan Of
having their capital stock owned by
their employees and customers. The
public utility corporations have been
notably in the lead in this movement.
but such great Industrial concerns as
the United States Steel corporation,
the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
and others also have been among the
pioneers.
The public utility corporations have
concentrated their efforts on placing
their stock in the hands of customers.
Their purpose has been twofold; the
securing Of a broader source Of capital
for their expanding operations and the
minimizing of adverse legislation
through the personal interest Of their
customer stockholders among the pub.
lie.
Seek to Enroll Employees.
The Industrial corporations have
turned their chief efforts toward en-.
rolling their employees as stockholders.
Their purpose is to enlist the greater
interest and cooperation Of employees
through their financial interest in the
business, TO give the workers an op-
lportunity to share in the profits and,
in general to minimize labor troubles.
There are two primary reasons for
bringing about this widespread own
ership. The first is that the public
will, as a result, become more keenly
interested in our problems and will
come to understand them better. The
second is that as our securities become
moro popular through a widespread
distribution, the enormous amount OF
capital required to develop the tele'
phone business can be more readily
secured.

neglected.
Up at Camp Fenimore, near CoopeTs-
town, the children ,nlay with the little
Americans there, in the American way.
With very little coaxing, however,
they will play their own Russian games
and dance their Russian dances.
The old, old story of Sleeping Beauty
and the Beast Is as well known to the
little Russians as to children of other
nationalities. 1t is one of their ma
tional children's games, and they play
1t through to the end, singing as they
so.
The admiral's charges can sing the
American national airs, as Justify as

are asked to sing their own Russian
songs, however, that their little Slavic
personalities show themselves.
