HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

"What do you work for?" one fell
low says to another. $50 / won't
have to work. comes back the ans
wer. Then the first fellow thinks
he thinks. Why wouldn't it be best
for him to start where the other fell
low expects to finish-never work at
all--arrive at the finishing post with
out ever starting to run. We can
reach all sorts Of conclusions if we
start to think wrong, and the con-
illusions will be logical and seem
right. They won't be right, because
they start from a twisted root. When
we see how surely brains and not
force must rule the world, we see why
we should harness up our mental
horses properly, curry the cobwebs
from our minds and get down to truth
as the basis of our thinking. A fire
can give us life as we'll as death, ac-
cording to how We use it. Twisted.
reasoning ms a dangerous thing.

solved hereafter to ignore 1t ako-
gether. The latest exchange quotation
on marks was 1.55 cents. There

Of a cent. 1t takes entirely too many
of them to attain to appreciable value,
and inasmuch as the mark has be-
come what we in this country call

sion for a smaller fraction.
Nothing has been heard Of copecks
for a long time. Doubtless they went
cut soon after the depreciation Of the
ruble began. The copeck Is the one

low has fallen that coin in interna.

possible to express its value. 1t would

So those Americans who resent the
declension Of the penny in the west

from Berlin that the pfennig has gone

think of the humble little brown coin,
it is a sturdy bit of cash compared

river defenses Of the capital, and its
site is a high bluff in Prince Georges
county, Md, six or seven miles below
the old ferry wharf at Washington
and diagonally across the Potomac
from Jones point, the southern tip Of
Alexandria. The river channel passes
close to the Maryland shore. and ships
navigating the Potomac would have
to pass close to the guns of Fort
Foote. The south face Of the fort
