GIVE BOOKS
BV DR.. Frank Crane

AS you look about for some present to give
to the graduate, permit us to suggest book.
Of all presents, the one that is best suited
as the vehicle of friendship is a book.
Of course, selecting a book may be diff
cult. And then, you may be embassassed in
the same way that the shop girl was in the
classic story, which tells of how her objection
to giving her friend Name a book was, Jaw,
she's got a book.
In other words, another book is always well
come, even if the recipient already has one.
A book carries with it something of your
own spirit. It's contents have intrigued you.
It's flavor has appealed to you. Its message has
found an echo in you. What more appropr1-
ate thing can you do for a friend than to pass
on this impression?
In giving book, select one that you have
read yourself and liked, not one that you have
heard the mob crying about.
1t may be some story that has opened up
a new door in your imagination, such as IF
Winter Comes"
1t may be some warm and human interpre-
tation of nature, such as w. H. Hudson's "A
Hind in Richmond Park"
1t may be some collection of vivid short
stories, such as Thyra Samter Winslows "Pic-
ture Frames or Harvey OHiggin's Some
Distinguished Americans" or Anz1a Yez1er-
ska's Hungry Hearts.
1t may be some useful DOCK or REFERENCE
such as the last edition of Hoyt's Encyclopedia
of Practical Quotations., or Hills 1.-The
Worlds Great Religious Poetry" or the in
comparable Rogets "Thesaurus."
1t may be some book that shall make re
lgion clearer, such as Papini's Life OF
Christi or Basil Kings Conquest of Fear
It may be some book that will help to make
science vital and interesting, as Slosson's
Creative Chemistry" or Thomson's Outline
of Science" -.
1t may be some book Of history, like Wells
"Outline of History"
Or it may be some edition of the old mas
tiers, volume of Keats, or Francis Thomp-
son, or Victor Hugo.
Go down to-your book store and spend an
hour But, above all things, read the book
before YOU give it, and have it pass through
your personality.

FLIVVERING WITH
'BRALEY
CHUGGING ALONG


w THEN Lizzie departed her paint fairly
wv shone,'
No divver had more metropolitan
tone,
But now, oh, it's awful how shabby she's
grown,
Yet still she keeps chugging along,
Going strong,
Cheerfully chugging along! 81
Her wheels and her tenders are covered
with muck
Of one dozen states, and she looks like
truck,
But still, with her most undeniable pluck,
Miss Lizzie keeps chugging along!
New York and New Jersey and Maryland
The two Carolinas, VirgiRia-well, you
Could see if you saw her, what travel
can do.
Though Lizzie keeps chugging along,
Like a song,
Peppily plugging along.
There's mud and there's dust Alabama sup
Piled
We carry much Georgian soil as we ride,
With mud Mississippi took care to provide,
AS Lizzie went chugging along.
From Louisiana there's sticky black stuff.
There's Arkansas clay, which is gluey
enough,
But though half the roads have been sticky
or rough
Miss Lizzie keeps chugging along.
The black mud of Texas, the dust of her
plains,
Is plastered on Lizzie and there it remains
But still, though, she's worn out some
three sets of chains,
Miss Lizzie keeps chugging along,
Going strong,
Happily chugging along! -
Her curtains are fastened with string and
with pins.
She rattles and sQueaks as each day beAins,
And yet on her journey she merrily spins,
Miss Lizzie goes chugging along.
No road is too rough and no mud is too
Deep
From crag unto crag she will merrily leap,
At times she can race, and at times she
must creep,
But Lizzie goes chugging along.
Yes, somehow she gets there, she'll plough
Is and she'll climb,
And We'll get to Frisco o. X. and on time,
AS Lizzie keeps chugging along,
Going strong,
Constantly chugging along.

THE SUPERIOR SEX
BY HAZEL /DEYO> BACHELOR

What has gone before.-John Steele
knew nothing of Anne Temples past
when he married her. He had found her
asleep and i'll in his taxi on a stormy
night, and had taken her home with him.
In the fight that had ensued for the girls
life, he had fallen desperately in love
with her, and he married her knowing
that she had a secret she refused to di-
vulge. Anne did not love Steele when
she married him, but during their honey
moon, they were irresistibly swept to-
gether. On the steamer returning home,
the fear that Anne has perhaps aoved
some one in the past nearly drives Steele
mad. He asks Anne to tell MIN her Sc
cret, which she refuses to do. He does
not insist because he sees that she is up
set.-NOw go ON with the story.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin Cobb

young couple, on their honeymoon, spent
two days in small southern city. When
they got off the train an old negro man, who
served as porter, runner, chief bellboy and
general factotum for the principal motel greet
ed them at the depot. He took charge of their
hand baggage and led the way for them to n
ancient vehicle
AS he drove them along the street the
young husband took him into their conf
dence:
''Now, look here, uncle he said, 1--WE don't
want anybody here to know that we've just
been married Probably some of the other
guests will speak to you about us and we
count on you to throw them off the track and
help us keep our secret"
Boss" said the old man, don't you an
the young lady worry Jest trust me. Tain
nobody goin' fin out by akin me questions.
But when the pair came down from their
room that evening for supper, they found
themselves a target for the interested stares
of everyone else in the dining room. All
eyes were turned in their direction. At the
conclusion of a somewhat hurried and decid-
eddy embarrassing meal, the young man hunt
ed up the old negro
Say" he demanded ~ thought you prom
ised not to give us away, and yet everybody
around this hotel is looking at us and grin
ming"
"Boss," said the old negro fervently. "ef
dey's learned the trUff, dey didn't none of 'em
learn it frum me-naw subj"
"WelI, did anybody speak to you about us
after we had registered?"
"Yas sub, sevrl'
Did any of them want to know whether
we were on our wedding trip"
"Yas sub, they did
"Well, what did you say to them?"

Georgia and the World

GREAT truth was happily stated by
"A Lieutenant Getsinger, chief of the
South Atlantic office of the federal de-
partment of commerce, in illustrating to an
the interests of the very ends Of the earth.
In Georgia, he said, are raised, or mined, or
which the rest of the world could hardly
dispense. Cotton, of course, is the foremost
and goes to clothe the natives of faraway Pat
agonia and the high-caste Manchu of the
Far East. Our fruits are famed in many
lands Our turpentine has probably spread
over a fair share of the earths surface as an
ingredient of paint. Georgia bauxite enters
into the aluminium and our clays into the
china that is used in foreign countries" If
those countries need our products, do not We
also need their trade? And while we supply
wants of theirs, do not they render like
service to us? Assuredly, then, Georgia can
no more remain aIoof and independent from
the rest of the world than an individual can
from his city, in our modern scheme of
organization. 1t is mistake to believe that
this country is isolated, when even a glance
at the facts will show that we are largely
dependent on the rest of the world, and other
countries likewise on u.s.
This is the view, be it noted, Of a trained
observer Of the larger tides of commerce and
of those human interests and human needs
whence they flow. Pleas for international
coworking in the cause of peace and progress
are regarded by some as idealistic or vision
airy; rather, they are of the essence of what
Is practical, business-like, matter of fact. Par
ticular schemes for bringing about such CO.
operation may be unfeasible, or be so ill
managed as to lead from blunder to peril
and on to grievous failure. But the princi-
pie remains that nations of the world today
can no more live aloof than the eye can say
unto the hand, Il have no need of thee"
The leading minds of American business
see the truth, and are for following it. But
when will the vision of American politics be
unclouded?

NAME YOUR, BETS
BY JOHN BRECK

BY JOHN BROCK
Do diving birds use their wings under
water? Or don't they2 You can name your
bet and find plenty of takers either way.
Not mel hedge. Why, the bird himself
couldn't settle it. If you could ask him
he'd probably squawk, Search me! 1 do
what you see me doing. Look"
And then you couldn't see him. You never
can But you search him-investigate his
mechanics, [ mean-and draw some pretty
sound conclusions For a bird either does
what he does-anyhow, it's a perfectly good
rule, for it works both ways
No diver needs very much of a, tail.
short one serves as a vertical rudder for deep
plum cling, but longer one would cramp his
style when he doubled after some darling
fish HIS forward rudder-his shearing beak,
backed by his supple neck, do most of his
steering as we'll as his grabbing. But his
authentic motive power-the twin screws he
carries astern-show surprising variation.
And so do his wings!
Consider the little gray dab-chick-no
more tail than frog, and not nearly as
much webbing on his feet-mere sketchy
frills alongside his toes. How does he get up
the astounding speed with which he sixties
just below the surface of his pondS 1t
looks significant that his wings just as
short and firm as he can wear them unless
he chooses to give up Tapping and turn them
frankly into Euddles, like a penguin. His
big cousin, the Yoon, aptly nicknarned the
'hell-diver," has webs and a tail But his
wings are so inadequate he has a terrible
time getting a take-off when he wants to
fly. So does the pelican, who, for all his
five-foot spread is only an oversize dab-chick
pattern.
The pinions of the gull tribe, Just twice as
wide in proportion, fold up out of the way
with co1hpactness, become part of the birds
hull" But he takes flying start and digs
rather than dives. And the Man o. War is
only an diversified gull. He'd need a foot
more spread on each side before he could
equal the speedlnes of the little black swift.
Like the cormorant and the pelican he wears
an extra web-toe, but his ''stern-screws" are
shrunk from lack of use. The cormorant's
are the finest in existence; does he use his
dabchick flappers to assist them?
Duck wings are plainly placed so high to
keep out of the way. The divers are shorter
than those of the tip-up, who must migrate
farther when ice covers the shadows where
he feeds You safely bet against any of
them. And you safely bet on the little
water Ouzel claW-fOOted as wren who
wades over his head into cold crystaI-clear
mountain spring and fits about in it as
blithely any little bird in bush. But
considering his performance, be mighty eau
tious how you lay your money against any
of the dab-chick fraternity.

THINKING AND VITALITY
By H. Addington Bruce

indicated by the, many Biographical
- studies and sketches published since his
n DEATH the late Frederic Harrison's ca
reer impressivey instances the truth that
earnest, interested thinking, so-far from MAX
ing any undue demands on the vitality, actual.
ly increases the vital powers and thus serves
to prolong life.
Mr.. Harrison was in his ninety-second year
when he passed away He died one of/Eng-
lands really famous writers, notably in the
field of history and biography. His last work,
his delightful among My Books" was pub
lshed when he was ninety years old.
In everything he wrote there was abundant
evidence of vigorous thinking. Such evil
dence appeared in" all his public utterances
And these dealt with the most varied themes,
for the range of Mr.. Harrison's interests was
extraordinarily extensive. AS one biographer
notes:
"He had had several crowded careers as
teacher, politician industrial reformer, jour
nalist, and Positivist before he began to be
prolific as an author and to the last the pub
licist in him was very active"
Or, in the greater detail given by another:
."He witnessed the Chartist agitation and
the Irish famine, lifted his voice against the
cruel corn laws, lectured in the ffties at the
Workingmens college founded by Kingsley,
Ruskin and Hughes. The last two gen
erations have had few publcists of greater
effectiveness. He was the champion of the
workingman, free trade, home rule, and many
other causes"
Powerful, forceful keen, alert Frederic
Harrison remained almost to the day of his
death. That he was able thus to remain must
have been largely due to his refusal to grow
old in spirit, to narrow the range of his inter-
ested thinking. Of him it may with conf
dence be said, as>an eminent medical psychol-
ogist once said of another grand old man, ]"
the statesman Gladstone:
''He welcomed the opportunity to get away
from one kind of work to devote himself to
another but this occupation of, an entirely diff
ferent set of brain-cells gave those that had
been previously at work opportunity for COM
plete rest"
Too many people not only fail to be keenly
interested in any thing really to think
about it, Life necessarily becomes more or
Hess tedious to them, and there is nothing like
tedium to make men old ahead of time. For
tedium means short-circuiting of human en-
ergy, with disastrous consequences to the
whole organism.
Some day this may more generally be ap-
preciated than it now is, and some day the
life-conserying value of interest, and especial
ly a. wide range of interests, may be more
generally appreciated.
Then men like Gladstone and Harrison will
no longer be accounted so remarkable" for
then there will be many prOfting from in
terest, as all should to grow in mental vigor
and to remain usefully, happily productive 20
the very end of long careers.
