about and can be won sooner or
later by anyone who is not too
impatient to cultivate the gra-

tude which makes others grateful

You may want life to perform
the miracle OF bringing to your
side the perfect pal, the devoted
lover. But IL they were brought
by chance, how do you know that
you would have the grace to hold
the gift of friendship or love?
You must educate yourself TO
be a real friend by being friendly
to everyone you meet. Cultivate
warm, gracious manner. Don't
think about other peoples

The thing which brought them
into congenial groups is yours to

stead OF a gloomy, morbid. self

others owe you a good time and

Friendship - like all good
things-must be worked for and
won by deserving. If you don't
know what you consider the
right people," try to make the
best OF those you do know. Per-
haps they need friendship as
much as you do. Be generous.
Then friendship will come.

German Efforts
To Purchase Old
Warships FOiled

Hamburg, Nov. 22.--America's de-
cision not to sell any cast-off war
ships to foreign buyers on the
ground that such action would mini
mize war, has attracted much atten-
ton in Europe. Several German
firms made inquiries in Washington
concerning battleships which were to
be scrapped, as the vessels were de-
sired by them for the iron ard -+"el
they contained.
About the time the policy of the
United States government was an
nvunced, it was learned here that
several battleships upon which CON
struction began during the Cars
regime, but which never were COM
plctcd, had been sold by the Soviet
government to British wrccking
concern to be used as scrap iron and
melted down. Word to this effect
came from Petrograd to German
shipping companies who were inter
ested in the deal, but whom, it APP
pears, were out-bid by the British.
included in this Russian sale were
IS war ships and 5000 locomotives,
some of which had been the pride of
the Russian state railways in the
days when the trans Siberian express
express was in its prime.
