AGAINST THE TIDE

RESETTING you on every hand
- is the invisible tide which Is
hourly sweeping humans from their
charted course and carrying them in
TO unknown waters.
The captains Of courage who have
gone before, weathered the treach-
erous currents and reached a secure
haven, are the only ones who can tell
you what this opposing tide means
to the young or the inexperienced,
or the over-cOnfident.
They will tell you how difficult 1t
is in trying moments to keep your
honor bright; how hard 1t is to steer
away from temptation or the habit
of loose thinking; how p~erplexing it
is to avoid the sucking shoals when
YOU should keep cool, hold to the
straight course and exert your ut
most strength.
You may pose for a hero before
the world, but be careful lest the tide
pull you under and expose the fraud
If your colors are false, bewa1el
for the tide knows them.
In spite of it's purring voice and
shining face it Is a restless foe, a
bearer of no tales, a silent destroyer
of ambition and a wrecker Of hope
when your star seems to glow the
brightest and you stand puffed up in
conceit before an admiring world.
Alas! for the man who in such a
moment plunges h%eadlong into he tide
without first reckoning his endurance.
The water is icy cold, swift and
t~reacherous.
How many men do you know who
have gone down In such a plunge,
never again to show their head?
Their pride and pomp, their wealth
sank from sight and left only a few
empty bubbles behind, bursting and
disappearing.
Be honest with yourself. sincere
with others, practice the Golden Rule,
steer your craft by the unfailing COM

WANT WHAT YOU NEED

PHILOSOPHERS tell us we can
1 have anything we want, provided
we want 1t enough.
With certain qualifications this Is
true. 1t explains why many men get
things out of life that their friends
never expected to get. They wanted
them, and they got them.
Getting things In that way foc most
people involves considerable sacrifice.
For example, If a dry goods clerk
wants an automobile he may get it,
but he will have to skimp pretty heav-
ilv on his clothes and Diet If he gets
it while he still remains a dry goods
clerk.
IF ia for this reason that when you
begin wanting something, 1t will pay
YOU to want what you need.
That will involve thought, or none
OF us know what we need until we
devote considerable time to reflection
and study.
There are men who want new wives,
when they have perfectly good wives
ut home. They don't need them, and
therefore ought not to want them.
There are other men who want
wealth, when they don't need wealth.
Still other men want steam yachts
when row boats would do them more
good, and private swimming pools
when they would get more fun and
health out Of public baths in the
ocean.
They may get these things, but
they will be no better of when they
do get them.

Sense

The wanting habit can grow into a
very bad habit, indeed. unless you are
careful to want what you need.
1t is well to remember in this con
nection that there are some very i'm
portant needs that you ought to want
first Of all.
One Of them Is a good reputation.
Another Is good health. A third Is
a home.
Want these badly enough to get
them, and confne your wants after
that to things that are reasonably
certain to bring happiness.
Then want as hard as you like, and
your wanting will not hurt you.
Want what you need and you will
be reasonably sure to get 1t, If you
begin young enough. But don't want
what you don't need. 1t will only
make you miserable for life, even
though you attain the object of your
desires.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"coNFETTI.u

GIGNIFYING literally econ
~ fectionery," this italian
word was originally applied to
the small hard bon-bons former
ly thrown during the carnival
days in Rome, Naples and other
cities In the southern section of
Europe. These candies are
known as coriandoli, and the
term confetti Is applied to the
cheaper and more popular sub
stitutes-hard pellets about the
size of a hailstone which are
carried in bags by the masked
jewellers and thrown from tin
ladies'.
The custom Of throwing con-
fetti was introduced into France
several centuries ago, and was
especially popular at the fetes
OF Mi-Careme (Mid-Lent) and
Mardi-Gras (Shrove Tuesday,.
But the French, possibly be-
cause they took their pleasure
less seriously than the Italians,
substituted bits Of gaily colored
paper for the hard pebbles or
candies, and when the custom
was introduced into the United
States by the French settlers Of
Louisiana and other sections,
confetti was understood to mean
only the scraps Of paper.
The amount Of confetti used
in Paris is. apparent from an
account of one Of the Mardi-
Gras celebrations, when 1t vas
estimated by one Of the local
newspapers that 100000
pounds were, sold during the
three days preceding Ash We'd
nesday. At an average price
of twenty cents a pound, some
100000 was spent upon this
form Of amusement alone.

EXPERT ADVICE ON RADIO


By the use of special electron tube cir.
cults the audio-freQuency signal Is
caused to operate an ordinary telegraph
relay. - =
'In order to avoid the necessity for
using a sensitive relay. designed to op-
crate on currents Of milli-ampers or
less (which would have delicate ADJUST
:nents and light contacts and spring
tensfon), advantage was taken OF q
vacuum tube to increase the input volt
age to the relay circuit, thus making
possible the use Of simple. ordinary
high-res;stance telegraph relay. The
relay device has, therefore, been devel-
oped to operate from the output circuit
Of any suitable amplifier dn place Of the
ordinary phones"
The operation Of the relay may serve
to work a sounder, buxzer, tape register
or any mechanism for remote control
by radio. BY the use Of two of these
relay recorders connected in series two
messages sent on practically the same
wave length but Of different audio-fre-
quencies are caught at the same time
and recorded in the operators absence.
Thus it IS predicted that the time IL

=. Do you know that it Is now possible
for your radio set to work automati-
cally. while you are away? Fantastic as
it may seem, yet it is nevertheless true,
for r. w. Dunmore of Washington, d.
C., has just perfected a radio relay re-
corder which makes the feat possible.
Mr.. Dunmore's new device recaives
and copies messages without the use Of
a trained radio operator. 1t operates the
mechanism automatically In accordance
with the signal received. and acts as an
automatic call system. One Of its pecu-
liarities is the. fact that it is sensitive
enough to convert accurately feeble ra-
dio sign signals into records, and yet 1t
will operate in a vibrating airplane.
In a recent interview the inventor
said that the practical operation OF re-
lays actuated by received radio signals
is a comparatively recent development,
and has been made possible by the de-
velopment of the electron tube ampli-
fer.
