Making a Business of Life
By DR.. Frank Crane

+ HE Wisest man or woman is the one who
makes business of living.
The supreme thing for each human
being is life; the supreme task is living.
There are business men so busy they have
no time for the only business worth while.
to-wit Living Some of them have postponed
life so long they have forgotten how to live.
I know a certain woman whose days are so
full she is constantly occupied with her social
engagements, every night finds her tired out,
and she does not live at all; she is too busy.
There are pleasure seekers, excitement hunt
ers, who so occupied in searching for
amusement they cannot live; they exist, wait
ing from thrill to thrill in the torments Of
boredom.
The laboring classes have their real griev-
ance in this, that so much of their vital force
is expended in making living that they have
no strength left with which to live
What is life? 1t is the normal expression
of ones personality, 1t is the free functioning
Of ones SELF
In proportion as this functioning or express
sion is stopped the soul withers. l know a
business man who is dead as a door nail He
is very wealthy, very active, and very much
admired. He rises early and arrives at his
office before his clerks All day long he is
as tense at his affairs as if he were fighting
bees? He has kept this up for over thirty
years. The result is that he is no longer a
human being; he is a sort of panolo. His
success has dehumanzed him as much as il
he had spent these thirty years in the pen
itentiary. He says he does not want a vaca-
ton; the truth is he could not take
ton; if he did he would die
Now, [ know another millionaire who makes
business of living. l will tell you about
him. At the age of forty or more he found
his body going to pieces; he rearranged his
diet and his physical habits and now at the
age Of sixty gets the maximum of efficiency
from his flesh, blood and nerves. He has a
great business and works at it enough to keep
it successful. Having attained the top notch
of business success he addressed himself to
higher values and began to exercise himself
in the more essential matters sof life He
turned his surplus profits back into his bust
ness, applying them to increasing the welfare
Of his employees. He interested himself in So
cial and moral betterment. He was seized
with the wish to help all men and women as
far as in him lay. His whole personality
therefore, body, mind and SOUL are functioning
normally, hence he is healthy and happy and
hope he lives 100 years. For instead of sac
Irificing his life to business he has made a
business o. life.
For what shall it profit man, if he gain
the whole world and lose his own life?"

What's Left Out of Newspapers?
BY JOHN CARLYLE

T>TALKED to a group of women recently
on the subject of journalism. Those
Il women, like other women and like men,
look to editors to produce a certain sort OF
newspaper.
Do they realize that they get the sort Of
newspapers they deserve?
Do they realize that the thoughts and
things that interest themselves are the
thoughts that interest newspaper editors?
And they are the thoughts and things which
editors will put in their newspapers.
Editors are not super-people They will
not make papers different from the tastes,
hopes, habits ideals and purposes of their
readers.
Some readers are above the level of their
newspaper. Many below it. Newspaper
editors ought to strive to- do more thinking
than their average reader. Some do. Many
don't.
Folks are quick to Condemn the printing
Of many things-things that are not pleas
ant, that expose human weakness, that
throw light on soiled spots.
Let them remember that publicity is the
greatest curative for common evils that was
ever devised Turn off the lightS and The
world will have UNNECESSARILY more sin to
bear.
And editors are condemned for being
hard-boied. They are accused Of being cold
and uninterested IN specific cases of human
fallibility. Nothing could be further from
the truth.
Would that critics might some day know
the things that are NOT printed in the
paper!
1 know about young man who has been
caught embezzling from his firm. He has
taken a large sum. Because the boys father
and mother are old and believe in him, be-
cause he has little family of his own, not
an editor in town has printed a word about
his mistake.
Doubtless this is not good policy. 1t de-
MES the healing light Of publicity / have
just talked about But it is only one case
Of thousands to show the character Of the
things NOT printed. You will find that the
best newspapers are HUMAN institutions.

ZEAL ADD not malice, we prefer to be-
= lieve, is responsible for much of the
Misrepresentation in which some Of
have recently engaged concerning child labor
In Georgia. We are prompted to take this
view because we find 1t difficult to believe
that any man or woman engaged in so noble
q work as protecting the children of the
country is capable of maliciously circulating
such fragrant lbels against Georgia as have
recently come to our attention.
Recently, Good Housekeeping, widely
read justly popular and influential magazine,
published that Georgia has $4,000 child
workers between the ages of 10 and Is, most
of whom are employed in cotton mills" That
statement was utterly and absurdly false on
Its face. The fact is that the cotton mills of
Georgia, according to United States census re-
ports, employ only 45,153 operatives of all
ages-men, women and children.
Hal M. Stanley, Georgias efficient and
alert commissioner of commerce and labor
should be familiar with conditions in Georgia,
and Mr.. Stanley, answering the libel against
the state, calls attention to the fact that dur
ing 1928 There were employed only 26S
children under IA IL years of age.
There were employed in the cotton mills 80
orphans under the age of IA; rs children Of
widowed mothers between the ages of II and
IA, and $50 between the ages of IA and IA IL
years.
Mr.. Stanley further calls attention to the
census report for 1919, showing that at that
time there were 1851 children under the age
of II working in the cotton mills, and then
he clinches his REPUTATION of the libel by
gia employ only AS, 1853, of whom 1.-The records
show "a per cent are above the age of II
years"
1t is Mr.. Stanley's charitable presumption"
that the magazine article in question took
into account every child who labors on the
farms, sells newspapers, shines shoes, works
at domestic labor or engages in employment
Of like character" and transfers them from
their field of activity to the cotton mills Of
the state. But even So Mr.. Stanley seriously
doubts whether $4,000 children between 10
and Is years of age are engaged in the sew
cral lines of activity he mentions.
The statement which he attributes to an
article in Good Housekeeping is not the only
unfair and unfounded criticism Of Georgia to
which Commissioner Stanley referred in his
statement last Sunday. 1t appears that a
good lady in our sister state of Alabama
former child labor inspector, it seems-has
become unduy excited because some 40 or
so children under IA years Of age march
daily across the Chattahoochee river bridges
from Alabama to Georgia. ITO engage in
work"
II do not know when this good lady made
S this check" says Mr.. Stanley. but there is
every reason to believe that she knows moth
ing of what she talks about, A number Of
children do come from Alabama to Georgia
every morning, but they come to epter our
schools and set an education. The supern-
tendent OF schools at Columbus states that
there are IS such children in the city schools
OF Columbus, and I presume they march

across the bridges every morning, and that
they may b under Il years of age"
We agree with Commissioner Stanley that
Georgia's child labor law may not be all that
do not leIieye that the advocates of improve

ful1 the hideousness Of his selfishness and
vet as before, he was not strong enough to
conquer it. In short, his love Of himself
was greater than his love Of his brother, or
Of twenty brothers.
The morrow-a clustering day of late
March-found him again at that ale house
at Penycumwick in the company Of Jasper
Leigh A course had occurred to him, as the
only course now possible. Last night his
brother. had muttered something Of going to
Killigrew with his proofs since Rosamund
refused TO receive him. Through Killigrew
he would reach her, he had said and he
would yet see her her knees craving his
pardon for the wrong she had done him, for
the cruelty she had shown him.
Lionel knew that Killgrew was absent
from home just then, but he was expected
to return by Easter, and to Easter there was
but a week. Therefore he had little time
n~which to act, little time in which to ex-
ccute the project that had come into his
mind. He cursed himself for concevng it,
but held to it with all the strength of
weak nature.
Yet when he came to sit face to face with
Jasper Leigh in that little inn parlor with
the scrubbed table of plain deal between
them, he lacked the courage to set his pro-
posal forth. They drank sherry sack stiffly
laced with brandy by Lienel's suggestion in
stead of the more customary mullcd ale. Yet
not until he had consumed best part of
pint of It did Lionel feel himself heartened
to brOaching his lOathsome business.

brother had said some time ago when first
the name of Jasper Leigh had passed be-
tween them-"a desperate adventurer ripe
for anything. So the price be high enough
you may buy him body and soul"

ETHEREAL GUESTIN
 THE HOTEL BURRITT
Absent Stranger in Empty Room
 Is ParadOXiCal Situation

"The Mystery of the Missing Strang-
 CT, or the Guest in the Empty Room" might be used as the title to a com- edy of errors which threatened for a | time to be serious, at the Burritt ho-
 tel this morning, where there were
 grave fears of tragedy in one of the i rooms.
 | It was early this morning that a
 maid on one of the upper floors re- ported to the desk that she was un- able to get into a room, supposed to be empty, that the door was locked, and to her repeated knocks she re- ceived no answer.
 The clerk at the desk looked up his records and had no one assigned to that room. He instructed the tele- phone girl to call the room number. She did and received no reply. The elevator boy was told to go to the room. He reported that the door Was locked, nc one answered his kpocks and the key was on the inside. Three times he went back and rapped, but to no avail. The telephone girl se- cured a rubber band and tied open the key so the phone in the room would ring continuously.
 By this time a feeling of nervous ness began to permeate through the hotel. Visions of suicide or even murder flashed over the imagination of the hotel employees. The phone girl began to talk about calling the police. Bell boys tried to unlock the door and failed.
 Chambermaids huddled together In a frightened group, afraid to go too near and unwilling to go too far away, torn between the conflicting emotions of curiosity and fear. Two hours were consumed trying to arouse the un- arousable guest. MT Harwood, clerk on duty. finally decided that someone must have gotten into the room with out being seen, locked the door and gone to sleep. Summonins William Frazer, captain of bell boys, he in- structed him to "get into that room. somehow. l don't care how, but get in"
 Mir. Frazer got In and as he opened the door and stopped 10 look under the bed, the maids with saueals of fright. rushed down the hall. What was wrong there2" inquired Mir. liar wood Not q thing" replied NIT. Crazer, "the door was not locked and i nobody thought 10 turn the knob, l that's all"

BLINDED BY EXPLOSION
William l.. Tancred Painfully Burned At Bennington, Vt, And His Eye sight Temporarily Affected.

William L. Tancred, formerly ot
 New Britain, but now physical direc,
 tor of the Bennington, Vt, Y. NJ. c
 A.. is in the Bennington hospital
 temporarily blinded from an explosion , of kerosene which occurred at that place several days ago.
 1 Mir. Tancred, who is native of i New Britain, was former assistant i physical director at the local "Y", and 1 is the local swimmer who has been decorated numerous times for saving lives in the water. He was one of the boys under Dwight Skinner, now superintendent of the Boys club, who jumped into a pool of muddy water at Willow Brook park about two years ESQ and rescued several girls and a boy from drowning.
 Several days ago at the Bennington "Y' he attempted to rekindle a fire which heats the hot water tank in the building, by pouring kerosene on it. The explosion blew him across the room and severely burned him about the face. At the hospital it was found that the explosion had deprived him of his eyesight. He is reported today to be improving and it is expected his eyesight will not be affected perma- nently.
 This morning. his brother, Arthur Tancred of this place, left for Ben nington where he will remain for some time.
