AS YOUR DAY BEGINS
By H. Addington Bruce

TT is IMPORTANT for every worker to re-
member that ones mood of the early morn
ing tends to give direction to ones thoughts
and to affect ones efficiency throughout the
day. So true is this thai the day-long i1flu-
ence of an unpleasant morning mood has found
expression in the familiar saying:
Gle must have got out of bed on the wrong
side"
When, on the other hand, the morning mood,
the mood that follows awakening, is a distinctly
cheerful one, there is likely to result not
merely heightened sense of well-being, but a
quickening of all the mental and physical pow
ers, so that The days work is begun and car
ried on with increased ease, accuracy, and
rapidity.
This suggests, of course, that if one wakes
to find ones self feeling depressed, diScour-
aged, or irritated, immediate effort should
be made 20 substitute pleasant thoughts for
the unpleasant ones.
Also it suggests that if the mood on awaken
ing is neutral-neither appreeiably unpleasant
nor appreciably pleasant-it will pay TO evoke
at once ideas OF a Notwithstanding sort.
To do this is not hercuean task, though
to the pessimistieally minded it may at frs:
present not little difficulty. Self-SuggeStion
will be found exceedingly helpful. One may
proftably acquire the habit of saying over
and over to ones self, the moment sleep has
been succeeded by wakefulaess:
II begin the day cheerfully, and the whole
day shall remain cheerful"
Reinforcing this self-suggestion-and of r.
Self>;making directly for a cheerful mood-it
is an excellent plan to rise from bed with a
smile and to smile at intervals while dressing.
For, in accordance with a little appreciated
psycho-phySical law, to smile even though one
does not have any particular reason for smiling
is to make ones self feel like smiling.
AS an eminent medical psychologist of my ac-
quantance puts it:
"The difference between feeling of melan-
choly and one of gladness consists mainly in
the position of the outer angles of the mouth.
The putting into practice of the maxim not to
let the sad lines dominate the countenance, but
to insist on keeping the glad ones there as far
as possible, means much for the correction OF
internal feelings of depression and dscour-
agement."
Helpful too, is the practice of reading before
one goes to breakfast an inspiring and eacour--
againg passage from a great author, or recall
ing and medating for a few minutes on some
Notwithstanding episode from recent per-
sonal experience. Always little time can be
found to do something like this.
Whatever the means adopted, some means
certainly should be adopted for insuring that
bright mood shall dominate at the beginning
of the day. The significance of such mood
in enhancing efficiency and helping toward sue
cess can hardly be overestimated

Where Men Are Needed
Employment experts of the veterans bu-
reau are making a study Of the professions
and trades to determine which are crowded.
A partial survey indicates that training has
been provided in the past in some vacations
which are badly overcrowded, while other
lines in which trained personnel is needed
have been overlooked. In future the bureau
will consider supply and demand in starting
it's disabled men on new work
A number of doctors are on the list or re-
habilitated men, and these, at least, should
have no difficulty in establishing connec-
tions, since small towns all over the coun-
try have been calling for doctors.
Considering the need for farmers 1t Is also
encouraging to learn that $4,000 veterans are
studying some phase OF agriculture. some
of them have already secured positions which
they will enter on graduation. A number
are going to teach agricultural subjects In
high schools and colleges. One man is going
to South America as a salesman of agricul-
tural implements. The students of farming
are being urged to buy land and start in bust
ness for themselves, ana many are planning
to = so.
A man learning a trade or business is re-
habiltated when he has a position, and the
governments responsibility toward him ends.
1t is more difficult to say when an artist is
rehabilitated. Is he full fledged artist
when he paints his first promising picture; or
when he makes his first sale? The govern
ment has a number of students of the arts
among it's proteges. One group of men is
studying at a schol of illustrating in New
York with such we'll known artists as Charles
Dana Gibson and Howard Chandler Christy
as their teachers. Another veteran, Balti-
more tailor, has spent two years studying
sculpture, in which he has always been great
ly interested, and now he has gone to work
in Rome.
All of the men whom the government has
undertaken to have trained wero unable to
return to their old positions on competitive
basis with other men. These veterans have
not been permitted to take up new lines OF
work in which they would be handicapped.

BARRIE
By Dr.. Frank Crane

We get to thinking that all men are COM
mon that life is drab, that nothing will hap
pen, and that there is no new thing under
the sun, and then comes along genius and
puts hts bomb under us, and blows our
smothering despair sky high.
If there is any one man in the world to-
day who has the right and title to be called
a genius, it is James M. Barrie. In the mat
ter of creative imagination I put him before
any living man.
The other day he was made Lord Rector of
st. Andrews university in Scotland sort of
honorary degree, imagine. And he made a
speech on that occasion which will ring
around the world.
To find such piece of literature coming
from an institution of learning is as shat
tering as 1t would be to find young arch
angel coming out of the slums. If you get
chance, read that speech of Barrie's. BY
all means, you must do so. Just as teaser.
I will quote you few sentences.
He speaks of a certain MacConnochie,
which is a name he gives to his unruly half.
1t is like Stevensons Mr.. Hyde, only, instead
of being gruesome and sinful, it is whimsy
and hayward. He said his desire was to be
the family solicitor standing firm on his
heartening among the harsh realities of the
office furniture, but NacConnochie prefers to
fly around one wing.
He urged the youth to prepare for the
great fight between them and their betters,
"by youth meaning, of course, you, and by
your Detter,- US.
He spoke of League of Youth. "You
have more in common with the youth of
other lands than youth and age can ever
have with each other" He suggested that
a. League of Youth would be letter than a
League of Nations, as youth was most oc-
cupied with dying for quarrels that their bet
ters had brought on.
He gave definition of science which is a
gem: "It is the surest means of teaching
you how to know what you mean when you
say so''
"The artistic callings," he said, "are mere
ly doing what you are clamorouS to be at it
isn't rel work unless you would rather be
doing something else" He alluded to "suc-
cess which has become a somewhat odious
onion nowadays, chiefly because we so often
give the name to the wrong thing"
Again he said: Courage! I don't think
it is to be got by your becoming solemnsides
before your time. You must have been warn
ed against letting the golden hours slip by.
Yes, but some of them are only golden be-
cause we let them slip. Diligence ambition,
noble words, but only If touched to fine is
sues" Unless man has courage he has no
security for preserving any other virtue.
Don't forget to speak scornfully of the Vic
torian Age. There will be lots of time to re-
pent when you know it better. Very soon
you will be Victorian or that sort of thing
yourselves-next session, probably, when the
freshmen come up. Make merry while you
may"
Altogether, pure and shining diamond in
the mud of contemporaneous literature.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May ga new
wv kind of employment agency is being
W opened by the government. Most
offices of the sort start out in business with
list of alluring positions and invite jobless
men to apply for them. The government is
beginning at the other end. 1t has a group
of we'll trained men on it's hands, and its en-
ployment agency will try to fit them into the
jobs which arc no doubt available about the
country but which are just now singularly
elusive.
The new agency is in the veterans bureau,
and it's efforts are to be put forth in behalf
Of the disabled war veterans who are being
rehabilitated under the direction of the
bureau.
Although it is more than three years since
the war ended the peak of rehabilitation has
not been reached largely because so many
of the veterans have been taking three and
four year courses. This June several thou
sand will be graduated from universities and
technical schools, and will be back in the
competitive struggle of finding employment.
Next June there will be still greater num-
Der of men released from the governments
supervision.
To date 16,485 men have completed their
training and are employed. More than 1907
600 are in training now, and ultimately
31S 900 will have been rehabilitated. Many
of the disabled men have not begun train
ing. They are not yet physically able, their
cases are pending, or for some other reason
training has been deferred.
The new agency, which calls itself by the
mouth filling title of the trainee- employment
section of the rehabilitation division of the
veterans bureau, has just begun its task. 1t
has been of practically every vocation on its
hands, from dentists and farmers to stenog-
raphers and shoemakers. To avoid misun-
derstanding it announces at the outset that
il will not be able to help any persons to find
positions except the disabled war veterans
who have been under government training
That is in itself large undertaking.
The employment section has begun to es-
tablish contacts with organizations that are
in touch with all angles of the job market.
The civil service commission is reporting to
the bureau on available positions in the gov
eminent departments. Already the depart
ment of agriculture has arranged to employ
one young veteran who made a remarkable
record at an agricultural college, This boy
won prizes for cattle judging, he heads his
class in his studies, and he is regarded as an
expert in cotton breeding.

that the strong arm method awakes the tight
ing instinct in others, whereas we are as jelly
in the hands of the jollier.
Whether a girl marries, and undertakes
the most difficult of all human occupations,
which is keeping husbands fur smoothed
the right way, or whether she goes into Dus-
mess, the amount of her success is measured
by her ability to walk on eggs without break
ing them, and to dodge the angles of those
with whom she comes in contact. She will lind
that doing her full conscientious duty towards
her husband will not hold his affections,
while Just being pleasant will, and that abll-
ity and hard work vail nothing in the COM
mercial world if allied with prickly per-
sonality, the habit of correcting people, and
telling them of their faults.
The chief thing that distinguishes lady
from a mere female is the fact that she al
ways avoids saying the things that would
hurt, or grieve, or embarrass others, and
that she never forgets to say the little, kind
ly, pleasant things that makes people feel
good.
L would also have my chair of ladyhood-
ness lay great emphasis on the human voice.
AS women do most OF the talking in the
world, it is of peculiar Importance that they
should be taught to speak beautifully, and
unsteady. A loud, strident voice issuing
from a woman's mouth is much deform-
ity as a club foot, or a hump on her back,
and it is more unforgivable because 1t IS a
malfOrmaClOn or WHICH Sno Cdu r1u uSISS1L IL
she so desires.
No human woman has right to go through
the world rasping the nerves of her fellow
creatures. The least she can do is to have
her voice manicured, and so 1 would have
every girl take vocal lessons, not with view
to singing, but simply to cultivate that low,
sweet, speaking voice that is one of womans
greatest and most enduring charms.
should have every girl taught how to
write graceful note, and an interesting let
ter. No other accomplishment is so useful
to a woman as this, for we are all patheti-
cally grateful to those who send us a line of
congratulation when good fortune knocks at
our door, or of sympathy when we are walk
ing through the valley of sorrow, yet the
average woman is so awkward when it comes
to handling pen that she will risk losing a
friend rather than go through the ordeal of
writing note.
We teach girls many things nowadays and
lay great emphasis upon the higher education
of women, but we 90 not attach enough i'm
portance to teaching them to be ladies. Yet
that is the highest education of all.

around the World By Air

r-HE hardly begun adventure of Major
Blake and his English companions
\ to circurmavigate the planet by air
has been likened not inaptly to the ex-
ploit of Magellan, some four hundred years
ago. The aeronauts are sailing east. by way
of France, the Mediterranean, INDIA, Japan,
Alaska, the United States, and NeWfound-
land, and finally the Atlantic itself, they
hope to compass the thirty-thousand-mile
circle in ninety days, including all stops, or
in twelve and half days OF actual fl1ght.
If successful, they will be the first TO
achieve by air that which the immortal
mariner of Seville accomplished by sea.
1t is doubtful, however, that there ever
again will be voyage altogether so arduous
so heroic and so significant as was Magel-
lan's, until mayhap some skyey sailor flles
from Earth to Venus or Mars. For elght ana
ninety days, only two less tn. IL are allowed
for Major Blake's entire circuit, Magellan
steered westward across the Pacific's unpath-
ed uncharted waste, not knowing WHITTIER
he went but urged ever onward by his IN
trepid explorers soul. "The crews" writes
one, "were rotten with scurvy; there was
little water, and that bad, and putr1d biscuit
to eat Rats were hunted eagerly; cowh1de
was gnawed and sawdust devoured to stay
the pangs of hunger" On the Philippines.
Ma~ellan, with other leaders, fell wounded
to the death in fight with savage natives.
The brave remnant of the expedition sallea
on. 1t was in August of the year 1913 that
his five ships, with two hundred and eighty
men, had left Spain. 1t was in July l522
that the VITToRIA, sole survivor of the gal
Ia It fleet, with two hundred and eighty souls
aboard her, crept lean and ragged into her
home port amid shouts and tears.

Of today seeking to girdle the globe Is
of the same starry mettle as that which

their adventure be less toilsome but equally
successful.
