bombarding the peaceful port of Co!fu and
slaughtering half score of children.
But even a Fascist dictator recognizes

MY NOVEL
By DR.. Frank Crane

Really the most important thing in life
is to make it interesting.
The effort to make life interesting ex-
plains most of the things we do; why we
work, why we play, why we marry and why
we get divorced, why we go abroad, why
we save money and why we spend it; in
short, this accounts for all our goings
out and comings in, our downsttings and
our uprsings.
I met young man the other day who
was more intriguing than the author of
any famous novel. He was making a novel
out of his life. He was considering every
thing that happened to him as. somethin G
that happened to his hero. Therefore his
own career amused and absorbed him be-
cause it was a continued story. 1t had the
added advantage that he could not look
over into the back of the book to see how it
all came out.
"But aren't you engaged in another form
of fooling YOURSELF" 1 inquired. isn't this
just another way of lifting ones self up
by ones bootstraps? There are all sorts
of fads and cults, we see them recommend
ed daily to bring health, success of saliva
ton by making us believe things that are
not so. Is not this one of them?"
Maybe it is" said my young friend. 81
ans not inclined to be contemptuous of Coue
or New Thought or Pollyanna or any other
system, religion or even faulty. At bot
tom all these things amount to the bust
ness of using ones imagination to improve
the taste of life.
you see, 1 am considering my life as
story, and myself the hero. There is no
deception about that, for there is certainly
no story in the world as'interesting to me
my own.
Everything that happens that makes any
notable change in my life. in fact every
incident that reminds me of something that
has interested me in novels or in moving
pictures, I regard as a new chapter.
MY wife and l have great fun playing
the game. We have got along as far as
Chapter 147. You have no idea of how it
helps us, how it gives a forward look
ing attitude, in every crisis.
1--WE keep a sort of diary. We write 1t
just if we were writing a novel. There
is chapter that tells of the first time we
met; it was at the graduating exercises at
Ann Arbor. There are chapters devoted to
the different events that have happened to
me in my business, and others describing
certain people that have met.
you have no idea how after awhile you
find out that about many interesting
things are happening to yourself to book
people.
cts a great game and encourages sort
of constant what next attitude.

REACH OUT AND OUT
BY H. Addington Bruce

N H AN need not live alone to be a her.
M nit. There are hermits who live in
l. crowded hotels. There even are her.,
mits who live as members of large families
and with their relatives about them all the
while
The state of hermitude,. in fine, depends
not so much on physical aIoftness from one's'
fellows as on moral aloofness.
Let man for any reason begin to mar
row his sympathies let his thinking and his
feeling take himself more and more as their
object he may become as truly hermit in
New York or London though he res
moved to solitary habitation in a desert
This fact it is which explains the discon-
tent and wretchedness of many people.
They complain of feeling lonely amid
crowds. They lament that nobody seems
to take even a passing interest in them
They speak of cruel isolation forced upon
them ~
Actually the isolation is Of their own
making They are being penalized for i'm
perfect fraternalizing with humankind. Hav-
ing failed to reach out sympathetcally to
Others they are self-condemned to q. her.
mit-Iike existence.
"All things are double, against an
other" to state the situation as Emerson
phrased it. Cit for tat; an eye for an eye;
a tooth for a tooth; blood for blood; meas
ure for measure; love for love. Give and
it shall be given you. He that watereth shall
be watered himself" 4. ID.
I wish the myriads of hermits in our
crowded towns and cities could be brought
to the truth of this t..
l wish they could be persuaded to per
ceive that at all times they have in them
selves the means of escaping from the mis-
cry that Expresses them.
1t is all a matter Of cultivating a genu-
inc interest in the people with whom one
daily mingles.
Like breeds like. The self-centercd, who
care nothing for anybody except their
pinched-up selves, are by that very fact
making that others will be frankly in
different or virtually Indifferent to them.
The large Of heart, the generous of soul,
though they be quite without kinsmen by
blood may count upon innumerabIe kins-
men by affection. -
II did not dream I had many friends"
was the delighted cry of a man when, in
time of misfortune, offers of help poured
in upon him. 1t was the re ard of faitn-
full adherence to the principle of reaching
out to ones fellows, of hearty feeling with
ones fellows.
And always the reverse situation obtains
when there is no reaching out Then mis-
fortune only emphasizes the isolation which
has been poignantly felt even through pros
perity. Nobody rushes to the aid of the
selfish, the introverts who have consistent
1y failed to reach out.

Star Gazinq

w THEN scores of savants travel hundreds
w of miles and undergo all manner Of
fatigues to watch a sun eclipse that
lasts but three minutes, it is evident that
man is as concerned with the heavens today
as when his skin-clad wandering forbears
looked up into the face of starry night and
wondered. He has weighed the moon, meas
ured the planets, timed the mighty marches
of the consultations, and applied his yard
stick to the flaming ends of the universe. Yet
the mystery and the beauty of it all remain
as battling as when patriarch poet sat one
eventide and asked "Canst thou bind the
sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the
bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth MAJ
zaroth in his season, or canst thou guide
Arcturus with his sons?"
Astronomy, which came down from the
skies, has rightly been called the mother of
sciences. What she has done for man the
worker, for the sailor, the surveyor, the
builder, is no less generous than what she
has done for man the thinker, for his imag i-
nation, his heart-life, his spirit She sets
every clock, every watch from pole to pole
and to what royal realms does she lead her
follower, whether a gray-haired sage or a
little child! Pity it is there are not more
eclipses of the sun, if they would draw more
minds to contemplate his power and the glory
of those infinite reaches where he dances, a
mote in vaster shinings.
The wide-reaching interest with which yes
terday's eclipse was observed may be inferred
from the hundreds of smoked-glass astron-
omeKs to be seen along Atlanta highways and
byways-the busiest and the idest Of folk,
the mast befuddled, the most inspired, the
philosopher, the newsboy. Twenty or more
well-eQRpped expeditions in the United
States and Mexico are reported by Science
Service among them the following of special
note:
Point Iona, near San Diego, Cal. The

There was a picture whcA helped to tell
the story. 1t was a picture of a summer
scene off the coast facing one of our eastern
summer resorts. youth has induced a
pretty young thing to go with him for
sail in his catboat; presumably it was her
first experience of this sort. The little craft
is dancing merrily on the surf. The in
fatuated youth is swinging on the tiller,

the rigging and the splash of swells against
the careening hull. q.
But the pretty young thing is not quite
so happy. She is hudded up forward and
upon her face is wan and apprehensfve
look. Anon She speaks:
'Ive enjoyed the sail tremendously" she
says, "but, if you don't mind, think we
might just as we'll be going back to the land
After all, when you've seen one wave you've
seen them ALL"

What has gone before:
Courtney Harrington induces Lorry
Granville to marry him just after she has
discovered that Tom Ransome, the man
she really loves, is unworthy. Lorry
does not love her husband and his love
for her is so intense that it frightens her.
After her marriage she still yearns over
Tom, and the knowledge that she is to
become a mother fills her with rebellion.
. AS the time passes, Courtney's vitality
seems to sap her strength, and she breads
his presence more and more until the
night her baby is born she screams out
in her delirium all her aversion to her
husband. Courtney resolves to make no
further attempt to hold her, and moves
over to the club. With convalescence
Lorry seems to have forgotten her fear of
her husband in the ecstacy of mother

that the love she felt for Tom Ransome
was largely maternal and has been trans
