Explaining Why All of us cannoe Awaken From Sleep to In-
 stant Action.

Some of us wake up instantly, but most of us have to lie for some time before we are really awake. How quickly can you wake up7
 It has nothing to do with being q hero or q strong man, neither has 1t anything to do with laziness or being tired the night before.
 It all depends on our minds.
 Every one of us has got two distinct minds, the front mind with which we do our ordinary daytime thinking, and the back mind which comes into action only in the hours of sleep.
 Between the two minds lies door. When you go to sleep you pass into your night mind, when you wake up you step through the door into yoE day mind, and close the door behind you.
 But with a great many of us this door between our two minds has worked a little loose
 The hinges of that door work slow ly; 1t doesn't slam, and through it float out the broken remnants of your dream in hopeless confusion with the real life Of the new days WorK.
 Then gradually, with an effort, you manage to pull yourself out of the fog and push the dream things back | through the door. Then at last you are awake.
 This difficulty of waking varies with your circumstances. If something pleasant is going to happen to you in the coming day you can wake up comparatively easily. Your real self is anxious to be finished with the dream world, to shut the door, and to wake to your good fortune.
 But when you are troubled, or ex' pecting worry, your dream self invests your sleeping hours with a kindly mantle of romance to make up for the worries of the day. You are 10th to leave that pleasant land of dreams and consequently wake up slowly.

MADE DADDY SEE THE POINT
Little Georoie Had Him Pinned Down. and There Was Nothing to
 1t but Surrender.

Georgie was taken out for walk with his father. Passing toy shop, of course he must stop to admire the toys displayed in the window. A small fire engine appealed to his four year-oId heart, and he wanted it.
 ::Buy me the fire engine, daddy" he begged.
 "No, son, not tonight"
 "Please, daddy"
 "Np, tomQrrQw."
 The next day arrived and passed but the fire engine did not material ize. The second day passed and still no fire engine. It was not even men, ttoned, That evening, at the table, Georgie appeared much interested in the wickedness of telling lies.
 "Is it naughty to tell lie, daddyT he asked, ,=z -.--..--.--.... .---.--.-----
 "Yes, son, it is very naughty re sponded daddy.
 'Is 1t naughty for a little boys daddy to tell lie7" he persisted.
 Dad saw the point and had the grace to flush. "Tt is naughty for anybody to tell lie," he answered.
 The fire engine was carried to bed with Georgie that very night,

get anywhere sticking around home the way you do."
 Perhaps susy was right; tears glls- tened in Lily's eyes for a moment as she remembered the ironical glance Jamie Ludlow had cast her.
 But she had very little time to think of herself or even to wonder what any one else thought of her in the days that followed.
 Frank was getting ready to go on his annual fishing trip, and Tom talked of canoeing up through Canada. Lily had socks to darn, the garden to weed, and her asters to transplant and enough household tasks to keep her busy far into the night.
 She was used to Jamie Ludlow now; he was almost like another brother. She had put button on his coat for him and advised him when to take an umbrella. He treated her with the easy nonchalance with which one would act toward valued housekeeper.
 Then one evening she put on pale pink Organdie and went out on the porch. Tom was sitting there with his feet on the railing puffing at his oldest pipe.
 "Going out? Oh, say, LII, wish 1t were some other night! I wanted you to hunt up my old fishing tackle and help me, pack"
 Lily hesitating just a moment on the step turned back to say, "Why, l can % out tomorrow"
 Some one jumped out of the dimness of the porch and a chair fell with crash.
 "Nothing of the kind. Lily has a date with me and she's not going to break It."
 Before she quite knew how it had happened, Lily was hurrying along to keep up with Jamie Ludlow, and he was saying in an undertone:
 eve had just about all of this self sacrifice I'm going to have. How long have I been coming here to dinner?
 "Why-about two weeks"
 sixteen days" he told her seriously. ''It's taken me fifteen to believe that 1t was true thought you were just a silly little flapper when l first met you, in spite of your Madonna face. But now I know your soul is as lovely as your face"
 But I don't understand" Lily whis, pered.
 "Tn try to make you," Jamie an swered with new husky note in his voice.
 And Lily. listening to the strange vibrancy in his voice, knew that it was her turn to start out on that most ex' citing of journeys.

elrla Rrauar Than Rnx.a

That girls are braver than boys is the observation made by Dr. Edward F. Bigelow, naturalist of the American Boy Scouts association. Dr. Bigelow includes in his category girls from ten to fifteen. At that age" he says, "they acquire the fears and incon- sistencies of women. Girls are not only braver than boys, but they are the bravest of the four-namely, men, boys, women and girls. The girl is much franker than the boy; in fact, says pr. Bigelow, no one in the world is as frank as the girl between ten and fifteen, She says exactly what she thinks. The boy, on the other hand, rarely does. But the girls frankpess and bravery do not last. According to Dr. Bigelow, as she develops into womanhOod these qualities are re placed by the art of dissembling and by the fears supposedly appropriate to womanhOOd.

 MT. Hunter recently parked his au- tomobile along Delaware street Curbing and failed to remove the ig. milton key. A policeman standing nearby with notebook in hand, chided him for his carelessness.
 "That is an invitation to theft" said the policeman, "and especially when they steal them from under your eyes"
 "That SOP" MT. Hunter exclaimed.
 "Yes," the patrolman said. 'I am looking for a bicycle thief right now. This bicycle" he paused to look around.
 "Well, I'll be hanged-it's gone. I have been waiting here two hours to land that bird and to think he got away with that wheel while was looking at him" m."-Indianapolis News.

they crate until they're hoarse, an

Earlham'S Jubilee

The return of hundreds of old students and
graduates to Earlham college shows that their
love for the institution is still warm as it
was in the days when they were undergraduates
working for their degrees.
Not the least valuable part of the training of
a collegian is development of an abiding inter
est in the institution in which he spent four
years of life. If an institution is able to create
love for it's future in the hearts of the hun
dreds who are matriculated, it is creating good
will that will rebound to its welfare in many
ways.
Most of the graduates of Earlham college
never forget the institution, but continue their
interest in its operations many years after they
have been graduated. The large number who re-
turned to participate in the jubilee illustrates
the point. If there were not some abiding
charm, some love for the college and its environs,
its faculty and its ideals and aspirations, they
would not have interrupted their routine work
to return to Richmond to spend a few days re-
newing old acquaintance and recalling the un-
dergraduate days that are forever beyond recall

Improvement in Business Conditions

A netsincrease of 3 per cent in the number
of workers employed in 65 of the principal indus
trial centers of the United States shows that the
country is rapidly getting back to an employment
basis. Francis I. Jones, director general of the
employment service, reports that the resumption
is not confined to one industry, but seems to be
general in all lines.
Confidence is restored and industry is
steadily expanding is his comment on the basis
of reports received in his office in May.
Building construction widened in May over
April" the report says "A genuine building
boom is on throughout the country. A shortage
of carpenters, bricklayers and plasterers exists
in many of the 231 principal industrial centers.

upward sweep in IL groups of industries and 8
