PROGRESSIVE INCIDENCE.

Some men dislike to have their
wives interested in anything outside
of the home for fear that greater ex-
perience and knowledge may make
them dissatisfied with what the hus-
bands can provide. What a foolish
stand. this on the part of life part
ner. Instead of trying to keep your
little wife from getting new ideas
and cultivating her personality, why
not do a little something along that
line for yourself. Mr.. Husband?
The truth of The matter is, that you
are unprogressive and indolent in re-
gard to anything which means study
so you do not want to be obliged to
study to match her. You want to
feel that you are "head of the house."
a veritable oracle and everything else
that is good, in the estimation of
your family.
But if you have to study to keep
up with a woman, with all you have
to do to keep the wolf from the door,
you prefer your wife TO be nonen-
tity. That attitude is out of date
and has been for a good many years.
1t is a fine thing when each spurs
the other to greater things.-Van-
couver Daily World.

GO TO WORK.

Go to work. knowledge does not
come from impressive books. but
from the principle of working out
these theoretical truths in actual prac-
tice.
The world is overpopulated with
people who work harder killing time
than they would have to work if they
used time intelligently. The efforts
Of such people are reminiscent of the
old horse onced used in the brick
yards to mill the clay. Round and
round the circle he went, getting no
where.
A merry -go-round is a rollicking
sport for children, but when adults
do a lot of travelling they like to
feel that they have been somewhere.
Do not wait for something to turn
up and happen. Make things happen.
The precious gift of the gods is initia-
,tive-the ability to start something
and keep it going. In the business
world this gift commands the high
est wage. In all of life the initiator
of new outlets for the bubbling spirit
of man is a benefactor.
Everywhere t'day the call is for
the man who can make himself busy
in new ways to reach old ends. The
burden of civilization is he who
means well, but means well fecbly.

A PINK WILDCAT.

Down in Zapata county, trapper set
a string of traps and caught pink Wild
cat. so far as is known the first and only
pink wildcat ever apprehendcd in these
parts or any other parts. .....
The geological editor of THE LIGHT
has heard of pink elephants and sea
serpents although not recently. White
blackbirds have been seen so frequently
as almost to be common. There also
has been fair array OF six-legged calves
and four-legged roosters with. quite a
sprinkling of hornless horned toads. But
so far as we know, this pink wildcat is
in a class by itself. Moreover the trap
per has preserved the beasts skin as
indisputable evidence. There isn't any
question as to the authenticity of the dis
oovery.
With the reputation built up by the
border since the Volstead act, one might
reasonably expect almost anything in
pink down that way. There have been
many optical illusions along the border
in the last five years. But this wildcat
is not in that category. 1t is no product
of the bootlegger. 1t is an honest-to-
goodness wildcat, she'll pink in color but
otherwise Just wildcat.
There have been many wildcats in
Texas, particularly South Texas. Until
now, most of them have been connected
with the oil business more or less. Some
of them were very wild, even lurid but
none of them were pink. Hence the dis
covery of this pink wildcat probably
serves as an explanation of why there
have been so many dry holes drilling in
South Texas in the last few years. What
chance did regular wildcat have with
pink wildcat running at large: This
pink wildcat probably was the ink that
caused all the trouble. The Ancient and
Amalgamated Order of Wildcatters
ought to get together and contribute a
purse of wildcat oil stock to the trapper
who caught the pink wildcat. He is a
public benefactor. Maybe he has lifted
the jinx from South Texas wildcats.

NOBODY'S LEAGUE

A kind of philosophy which in any
rational analysis OF the normal relations
between individual men would have to be
accounted quixotic is represented by
Great Britain's reported attitude toward
the League OF Nations in the situation
growing out of Italy's seizure of Corfu.
This philosophy is merely represented
by the British attitude, because it is 4
philosophy with which all the principal
members of the League have been at
flicted from the outset
The report, in brief, is that Great
Britain has decided to support the
League" in any attempt it may make
to settle the dispute between Italy and
Greece.
In other words, Great Britain had a
choice in the matter. Naturally she
would have a choice between this or
that proposal before the League; a
choice which she would express by bal
lot through the agency of her accredited
representatives who are members of the
League Council. But such a choice is
not the kind which defines the philosophy
referred to.
Great Britain has exercised, or is re-
ported to have decided to exercise, a
choice between support and non-support
of the League. Thus that institution,
instead of being regarded as an authority
identical with that of the nations COM
posing it, is regarded, manifestly, as a
thing apart from those nations-some-
thing that is alien to the home govern
ments of its individual members. In
stead of having original jurisdiction over
international disputes the moment those
individuels theoretically representing the
member nations take a vote on a given
matter, the League, in the light of the
philosophy represented by the reported
decision of Great Britain to support
it; must wait to see whether its finding:
will be approved by those nations. Ir
other words, the vote of member ma

fairs. Americas refusal to become q
party to such a world government was
the measure of her sincerity and integ.
rity; if she had joined the League il
would constitute, in her philosophy, q
pre-established authority for the control
of future international situations. That
is one, of the reasons why she refused
to join-because, in her understanding
membership would stop her from ex-
ercising her own choice, by vote of Con-
gross, in matters to be adjudicated by
the League.
In short, Americas word is America S

America for her. refusal to join the
League, have practiced toward that i'll
stitution an attitude which, if this coun-
try could have foreseen it, would have
afforded another reason, another j.istifi-

Unlike Lenore, Neds regrets We're
not that he had ever launched forth

greater pains, in his wasted years, to
harden and train himself. Perhaps he
was TO be weighed in the balance, and
it was increasingly hard TO believe that
he would not be found wanting.
In such a mood he recalled his

We struggle hard for happiness
