Berton Braley's Poem

One can't be always Young.
So l viii be resigned
To take my place ampng
Ny staid and passe kind.
I'm getting slightly gray;
All we'll, lido not care.
Not very much. but say
hope ! keep my hair!
I'm Just a tritle stiff,
Not much, but Just a bit,
You'd never notice II
didn't tell Of It.
I'm also growing fat,
Just slightly, here and there,
I'm quite resigned to that
II I can keep my hair!
Age. do your worst 10 me,
Reduce my nerve and pep,
Until with creaking knee
halt at every step;
Such minor woes as these
Ill try 10 grin and bear.
But please-oh pretty please,
Let me retain my hairi
Spare me the fearful fate,
The venom and the gan
OF wearing for my pate
A polished billiard ball,
Or sporting q toupee;
'Twould drive me mad, l swear;
Taka fako all aIaa aIra,v
But let me keep my hair!

alone, within themselves, never realizing
that they must be friend to have
friend. Friendships arise from and 60 to
the soul, when the heart is unfettered and
responsive to give and to accept.
Read again Aesop's fable of "The Lion
and the Mousse" read it not as you did
years ago when you were a kid and had
kid ideas-but with understanding as it
applies to your own life and then resolve
that to have friend you will be one, not
of the wishey-washey kind but one based
en- Understanding, Loyalty, Faith and Un-
selfshness. And in the working out of
that problem remember that dependence
of friend on friend, helpfulness of friend
to friend, the formative power of friend
over friend represents the active side of
the resource of friendship.-Seiected.

much as their ancestors did centuries ago,
while the "ripe" savages, living on the
borderland between their wild kin and
Chinese settlers have more or less assimi-
lated Chinese ways of life. The savage
population of Formosa is estimated at
about 100000.
AT present Formosa enjoys greater free
dom from savage attacks than ever be-
fore in her history. This is due to the
fact that the japanese have installed
live-wire barrier from Karenko, about
midway on the east coast, to Pinan, in the
south, distance of about hundred miles,
to serve as protection against savage
raids
The future of Formosa under its present
benevolent paternal government looks
bright indeed. Never before has this
island, so beautiful to the eye, enjoyed such
a degree of prosperity.

BEAUTIFUL PALACES OF GENOA

1t is difficult to imagine city better
adapted to princely hospitality than Genoa,
where the great economic conference is in
session. 1t contains the superb palaces
built mostly during the sixteenth century
to satisfy the sense of luxury, the appre-
citation of art and beauty of the merchant
princes of Genoa.
There are no palaces in Italy, perhaps
in the whole world, so magnificent in
themselves and that form such suitable
background for the treasures of art, the
Van Dycks, the Rubens and the delightful
pictures of the Venetian school that adorn
their walls.
The Royal palace where the conference
is held, in addition to its sumptuous furni-
ture, its glorious marble staircase and
balconies, has beautiful garden with
green lawns and walks shaded by va
riety of trees and shrubs.
The members of the different delega-
tions aggregate at least 1000 persons, who
are lodged in Genoa's palaces and in the
lovely villas that surround the town. When
one realizes that all this beauty is bathed
in sunshine of an Italian spring, it is
difficult to imagine a better preparation
for the comfort and pleasure of Italys
guests.
In addition Italy has exerted herself to
provide for the conveniences of life needed
by those who attend the conference. The
road along the Ligurian Riviera has been
relaid for distance of about twenty-five
miles. Additional telephone and telegra-
phic circuits have been constructed and a
special telephone line has been set up for
the service of the delegations and news
paper correspondents. Reading and writ
ing rooms also have been prepared for
delegates and reporters.
A largely increased postal service has
been provided, while in the Patrone palace
where the press has its headquarters, there
are all possible conveniences for reading,
writing, sending kilograms, monographs,
a magnificent clubhouse with splendid
salons and buffet. One or two rooms
are furnished with tables and chairs or
dered by Cardinal Ratti for the Archbis-
hops Palace before he left Milan last
February to be elected Pope Plus XI.-Ex.

Without doubt there is nothing with
in ourselves that cries out and is more
audible than the craving for companion
ship. 1t is deeper than any one thing that
goes to make up life.
Real friends are rare, but don't expect
to make and keep friends unless you build
upon the rock of unselfshness and be loyal
to your trust.
Always remember that on the basis of
friendship you can't deliberately hurt a
friend and then expect the hurt to be for
given, any more than you can do wrong
and not suffer the penalty.
You can, however, do all these things
if you stand ready and willing to suffer
the consequences, but the consequences de-
pend upon your character, your character
as it is understood by those whose friends
you would be.
Do we value and appreciate that rare
gift-friendship? Many do-others live
