LONG LIFE
BY JOHN CARLYLE

TT OW often you advertisements be-
ginning with these alIuring words:
How to ProlOng Life
Advertising writer's are good psychoIo-
Slsts. They know what the people want
they know what will reach out and catch
quick attention. They know what will fasci-
maze. There is nothing which so appeals to
the adventurous, surging spirit of man as
the idea chat he may somehow proIong his
life, that he may hold his role forever in
the daily drama.
These advertisements teach the ways Of
remedy and the ways of health. They tell
us how to minister to the demands of the
body in such way that we may hold on to
the perishable frame Of life for few more
years.
in this body compared to consideration of
the part Of man which is everlasting! And
how unimpOrtant are our actual years of
moving about among. our fellows in COM
parlson with that projection of our lives into
the future which we can make by Identify
ing ourselves with great causes by fighting
great fights, by starting those ripples of in
fluence which gather more and yet more
strength until they break upon eternal
shores.
Rembrandt lives forever, for he left him
self in his pictures. They have endured for
centuries and shall endure for centuries to
come. No dizziness clouds his name 1t
glows even brighter today than it did a
iuHuI Gu years dSO fOF h6nDFdOQL project
ed his personality through the years.
We look at the battling smile of Mona
Lisa, as fascinating and as incomprehensible
today as the day it was set upon canvas
And we know that Leonardo Da Vinci is
not dead. In his art, projected beyond the
years, he speaks TO us, he interests us. He
has caught to his bosom our attention for all
the years to come.
Ask the Frenchman if his Jaon of Arc is
dead. He knows better. The spirit of
France in the war was the continuing spirit
of Joan of Arc at Orleans. She projected
her personality beyond the years. 1t is ever
lasting.
In the crises of the future years France
/ knows that she will be led By! the immortal
maid.
Every man has the opportunity to live for
ever. The Notwithstanding to prolong
life'-do not go far enough The light Of
vision never goes out. Ideals never die
Great purposes do not die. And the better
part of mans life, when lived in the spirit Of
understanding and intelligence is warp and
woof Of vision and ideals and purposes. Great
movements go on, and mans life a. its best
is forever cOmmingled with those movements
Christians passed from one to another the
kiss of peace" which had been given to
his nearest neighbor by the person presiding
at Holy Communion. The custom was in
stituted by ST. Paul.

Q.~Does the government train pilots for
the postal airplanes? w. o. r.
A. The postoffice department does not
operate school for the training of men
for the aerial mail service. This department
requires that an applicant must have 5000
hours of flying time some experience in
cross-country work, and that he shall be
flying at the time of his application.
O. Should a man precede woman when
entering an automobile, should he climb
over her feet? A. D. B.
A. Authorities on etiquette agree that when
a man and woman are riding together in a
carriage automobile the woman should be
seated on the right. If the vehicle is not so
placed that the woman, in stepping in, can
easily move over to the right side good form
permits her to take her seat and allow the
man to step across to his seat. Some authori-
ties regard it extreme for a man to walk
to the left side of the car to enter. In case
there Is no doorman in attendance, the man
can close the door he steps into the car.
Q. Who invented air balloons? G. N.
A. Joseph Michael Montgolfier was the in
ventor HeS with his brother, made his first
experiment in 1878
Q Should such words as mother, father
and sister be written with capitals? A Y.
A Nouns denoting kinship, when used as
part of proper names, as Sister Alice, should
begin with capitals. They should also begin
with capital letters when used alone as proper
nouns, as, Il sent Mother a gift" Nouns de-
noting kinship, when used alone and preceded
by a positive pronoun an article, should
not begin with capital letters, as, At have not
heard from my sister for three months"
Q. What countries come under the name of
the Levant? L. E.
A. This general term includes Turkey, Per.
STA, Irak, or Mesopotamia; Palestine Syria
and Arabia
9. At what temperature should canned
fruit be kept? W II X
A. Canned products whether in tin or
glass should be stored in a cool dry place
not exposed to freezing temperature. Freez-
ing may cause breakage in glass and Will
cause deterioration of the food product
Most products packed in glass will bleach
or darken If exposed to light, so unless the
storage room is dark, slip paper bags over
the cans or store in the original pasteboard
containers. A temperature of so to 80 de-
grees is not injurious TO well-canned prod
| ucts, but during very hot weather it is wei
| 10 examine the cans occasionally to be GER
| tain that there are no leaks or other signs
| of spoilage.
@. Is it necessary for an individual ia

r.. GARNER, of Texas, ranking mem
MI Der of the Ways and Means commit
tee on the Democratic side, says, on
the subject of taxation: Il can promise,
now that I can present a plan that Will
raise $500 900, 900 new taxes, with little COM
plant about it, and also relieve the people
of $27O,0OOOOO tax burdens" To do this
he would retain the high surtaxes on large
incomes, and abolish taxes on small ones.
Then there would be an excise tax on cap
ital stock, to discourage stock dividends, sano
restoration of excess profits taxes.
Mr.. Garner has a perfect right to intro.
duce a tax bill, and, indeed, from a party
standpoint, it is probably his duty to do so.
Nor should fault be found with his oph-
mism. But nobody can tell just how a new
tax bill is going to act; 1t must be tried
out In each case as an experiment. To even
the average mind, however, it will appear
that tax to discourage stock dividends, if
successful, would produce no revenue what
soever; and revenue from tax stocK
dividends, already declared unconstitutional,
by the Supreme Court, could not be relied
on to bring in much revenue. But there is
no doubt but that his prophecy of little
complaint" will bring smiles here and
there; and the man who can get smile
with any kind of tax bill deserves well of a
public that bowls automatically when the
ject is mentioned.

WAKE UP!
BY H. Addington Bruce

tn HE new year dawns, another year of OPP
portunity. Great are the possibilities
for progress it holds for all alert to
them.
Many, it is to be feared, will not be alert
to them. Many will merely drift through the
year, as they have drifted through other
years, in a state more closely approaching
sleep than alert wakefulness.
To be sure, they do not appreciate that
they are mentally asleep. What they do
appreciate is that life Is singuarly unsat-
isfying to them, that they get real Joy out
of it, and that for them one day simply fol-
lows another that nothing, absolutely moth
ing, is of any genuine interest to them. But
that is precisely why they are mentally
asleep.
If only they were ardentIy interested in
something-in their work, for example
they would be alert to their possibilities for
progress. Not only this, but they would be
certain to make each succeeding year year
of greater progress.
For the intensity of their interest would
by itself suffice to give them access to the
reservoir of power now known to be innate
in every human being. They would find
themselves able to work harder with less ia
tgue than at present. And their work would
be infinitely more resultful.
Again and again this has been proved true
Again and again, the consequence OF
some fortunate impulse creating belated in
terest, men have surprised not only others
but themselves by their ability to accomplish.
From drifters they have become doors and
leaders.
In many cases, into the bargain, they have
found their health greatly improved. So re-
markable sometimes has been the change
that it has seemed to them miraculous. And
always they have gained greater happiness
Their experience be the --orience of
every somnOlent drifter through life if he
will but let himself become ardently interest
ed in his work or in some other worthwhile
activity. To become ardently interested he
has but to comply with sundry interest
breeding conditions.
One of these-the chief one-is to pay in
creased attention to that in which he wishes
to be ardently interested. Another is to as
sociate with persons already ardently inter-
ested in it. A third is to visualize wildly
the Importance, to himself and to the world,
of the work or other activity he would make
the object of ardent interest
Thus, and thus alone, can he wake up
mentally. And in the very moment of wax
ing he will find himself already fairly on the
way to high achievement.
