HELP YOURSELF
OMAN is in the world to overcome
AVA himself

"MAN, Is IN inc world TO overcome
How often have you thought Of this
when finding fault with the world In
general because you thought your luck
was hard2 It's safe venture to guess
that most unhappy persons never even
consider their own positions from this
angle.
Too many blame others for their
own mlsfortunes when they could find
the fault at their own doors. Too
many consider their luck bad when
It is better than they deserve. If
they recognized their own short-com-
ings or tried to overcome them when
acknowledged, they'd frequently over
come their worst handlcaps.
II one starts out to get somewhere
he isn't likely to reach his goal as
quickly as he desires II he sits by
the side Of his pathway and hopes for
some miracle to happen which will
bring him to the desired destination
without climbing up the hill.
Once in q while a kind motorist will
overtake the lazy loiterer and give him
a lift. But the chances are against
such good fortune when the pathway
follows al upgrade course. For few
stop to pick up passengers while try
ing to reach the top on high"
The same rule applies all along the
path Of life. Just as one is likely to
meet disappointment If he depends on
q lift by the road, is he almost certain
70 find his progress tagging If he waits
for his fellowmen to shove him ahead.
Those who become dlsgruntled with
their lot usually need to remember
that their own indifference, inaction or
the overestlmation Of their proper
sphere, are the greatest stumbling
blocks In eheir paths.
II one helps himself a little, the
world will always help him more.

Penguin Family.

On the frozen ice fields about the
South pole live the pengulns. called
by explorers human birds" because
they play Just as children play, are
friendly to their strange human Wis.

Penguns are quite tall, full-grown
bird standing two feet high. Their
wings are so short they cannot fly,
but they use them as fiappers to help
them hurry along over the snow. Their
strong legs are far back on the body
and are so placed that the bird stands
upright The penguns are as much at
home in the water as on the land.

Pengulns are fond OF games, a fav.
orte play being to force one another
into the water They dive deep and
swim under water, sometimes coming
TO the surface more than 80 feet from
shore.
Another sport Of the pengulns is a
snow slide. They pick out a nice billy
spot near the shore Of an Icy bay, and
then pack the snow very hard by
throwing themselves on It. Then they
go 10 the top Of the slide and one
goes down to test It. II II is all right

How Deadly Gas Is Made Useful.

BY mixing tear gas, developed for
war use, with deadly but odoress n.y.
drocyanic acid, a powerful disinfect-
ant, the chemists OF the chemical war
fare service have made a combination
that can be used safely in sanitary
work. Since the hydrocyanic acid gas
kills the eggs of vermin as well as the
vermin. 1t is one Of the most effec-

comfort when breathed, the first indI-
cation of its presence in the atmos-

eyes even when the air contains only
minute amounts, and the combination
Of the two can thus be escaped be-

APRoP0S OF NOTHING

Part Of being a nuisance is to be
unconscious Of 1t.

Love one another, even when the

a man feels when he reflects that his

Mhv Called nRIus Laws.n

"Blue laws" are, in general, any
laws which impose vexatious restric-
tlons on the members Of community
and interfere with their ordinary habits
or which seek to regulate their private
morals. The name came to be applied
specifically to a set Of laws of this ma
ture supposed to have been In force In
the colony of New Haven, Conn, about
the middle Of the Eighteenth century.
The suppositlon is based upon the we'll
known fact that in the Puritan days
the personal conduct of citizens was
often subject to close judicial super
vision and that the sin Of Sabbath
breaking was especially odious to the
magistracy,
