WHAT TO READ

H. G. Wells comes out in the American magazine
with suggestions of what everyone should read Sum-
med up, it comes to this:
Everyones hould read history, not only every year
but every month 1t takes him away from the thought
that the present moment is everything 1t helps him
to find his place in the and the place of the
in the universe He should read good biography seek
ing always the lives of those with whom he feels pc
cuar sympathy The failures and successes of these
"affinities' will help the reader in his own life
A good newspaper is essential.
The Gospel should be read as books, simply and
straightforwardly without trying to mix them with
theology, and the Republic of Plato is needed
it sets the mind free from conventional and tradition
al views of human institutions" AS to Homer, Virgil,
Shakespeare Milton Goethe any other names,
he says only TRY them. To people they appear
flat and dead. Let such areader not bother with the
but find some author who does something to him,
and study that one thoroughly. Fiction, he thinks is
not necessary. To many young people novel-reading
is vice, aimless tine-klng. A few great
els may be worth while.
Whether or not one approves Mr.. Wells choice,
this much is certain: resolve faithfully carried out,
to read four really good books year, would start
many person out of his rut and set him we'll on the
way to getting vision of the universe If the books
in way connected that, although different,
they each contribute toward deepening and strength
ening one line of knowledge, much the better.

UNCLE WTGGILY. AND TILE
SNEEZING SUNSHINE

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping through the woods
he met the Lady Mouse Teacher
from the Hollow Stump School. Ii
one paw the Lady Mouse carried c
small looking glass, and when she
saw Uncle Wiggily's eyes fixed up
on the little mirror, Miss Mouse
said:
"Pleasc don't think ] carry this,
Mr.. Longears, so l can see how to
powder my nose
"Oh, l wouldn It dream of think
ing such a thing!" exclaimed the
bunny gentleman, quickly like, and
most politely.
81 never powder my nose wont
on the Lady Mouse, for Uncle Wig
gily was one of the Board of Edu-
cation in Woodland, and Miss
Mouse wanted to be well thought of
by him. 1.-The truth of the matter
is,''' said the Hollow Stump School
Teacher, "that 1 took the little
looking glass away from Jackie Bow
Wow this afternoon. He was play
ing it in class, and of course that
would never do
"Of course not agreed Uncle
Wiggily, for he thought the Lady
Mouse did just about right.
And I meant to give this glass
back to Jackie after school was
OUT went on Miss Mouse, "but l
was busy marking the examination
papers and l forgot about it. So
ri leave it at Jackic's house as
I pass by
Kindly allow me to save you
that trouble,'' offered Unclc Wig
gily, politely. 81 will take the
looking glass to Jackie -
"Thank you,'' squcakcd Miss
Mouse, and as she handed the small
mirror to Mr.. Longears, all Of sud
den the rabbit gentleman exclaim-
ed:
Ker-choo!"
"Oh, 1 hope you aren't taking
cold,' spoke the school teacher.
No-not at all--thank you! L
ker-zoo! I-ker-foo! Excuse mel
1t was just the sun shining from the
glass and reflecting into my eyes, )"
explained the bunny rabbit. The
sunshine tickled my nose.'
"It's a sort of sneezing sunshine!
laughed the Lady Mouse Teacher as
Uncle Wiggily put the glass in his
pocket.
Somewhat admitted the bun
ny gentleman with a low and polite
bow of his tall silk hat. Then he
went one way and the Lady Mouse
Teacher from the Hollow Stump
School went another way.
Mr.. Longears hoped along until
he was almost at the home of Jackie

This is the decision of city seaer of weights and

WHERE HEADS WIN

The Pacific Coast cities have put ban upon long
distance contests. What is still more to their credit
the action taken promptly preventive
before any of those disgusting performances had been
held. San Francisco Los Angeles, Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle took the lead. "The first couple that

CITIZENSHIP OR STEEL?

Referring to Judge Garys appeal for more immi-
grants to supply the present demand for industrial
labor, Representative Cole of Iowa says
eve have three and half million people now who
cannot speak the English language. Let's digest what
we have swallowed" If the steel industry cannot get
along matters stand he suggests I'VE ought to build
steel mills little smaller He thinks citizenship
is more important than steel.
Most OF the comment aroused seems to be along
this line Employers naturally would like to see a
fresh supply of labor coming in, to stop the rise of
wages already high and to insure capacity production
in their plants. But other classes far numerous,
hold that the growing scarcity of labor is really
blessing in disguise, because it promises genuinely
American standards, and general prosperity which,
because it is not mmoderate may be long-continued
immigration admitted without restriction, in the
DID, careless way, would not only check the assimla
ton of aliens that is making such excellent pro-
gress AS Congressman Wilson of Louisiana observes,
would lead to overproduction resulting before many
years, in millions of unemployed.
