the glorious tradition of Americas naval force.
That Americas navy has commanded the respect
of all nations has been attributable not much to su

If by anachronism Great Britain had had one
destroyer of the modern type during the War of 1872
the entire American navy could have been sunk in short

of frgates and sloops The victory of American sea-

Engands 200 possible because their fighting units
were as up-to-date at that time as England's.
Since the early days of the American navy there
have been revolutionary changes in the methods of naval
warfare. There has been drastic change during
the comparatively brief period that has elapsed since
the Spansh-American War. Aircraft and submarine
will be the most effective instruments of naval warfare
when the next conflict comes.
Shall the government continue to give its loyal sea-
surface craft rendered ineffective by sefmposed
limitation of firing range, and expect them to preserve
and to add to the glorious traditions of the navy? The
American navy will, matter how antiquated and in
effective the instruments in its hands do credit to
its glorious traditons-even if nothing is left of the navy
but the widening rpples of glory the barren surface

FIGURES OF, SPEECH
"Glass Houses"

We all know the saying, "Those
who live in glass houses shouldn't
throw stones"-mesning that one
should avoid criticizing others I'M
less one is quite sure Of being above
criticism in the same regard. The
origin of the saying, as given in
some old books, is as follows:
when England and Scotland be-
came united under the crown of
James /, in 1908, London was in
vaded by Scotchmen. There were
many of them, and the Englisbmen
became envious of them and their
favor with the king. George Viii

palace, had so many windows that

Buckingham appealed to the king
to punish offenders, but James told

to tie Germany and France together and confne British

OVER LIES HURDLES
By LOUIS E. BISCH

Nature has provided against this
contingency by giving us an I'M
conscious or subconscious mind. as
well as a conscious one, into which
unconscious mind all our previous
experience are stored away.
Just what this unconscious mind
looks like, just exactly how our
thoughts are arranged, nobody
knows.
We do know, however, certain
parts Of the brain have 10 do with
certain functions-for instance that
the thoughts and mechanisms con-
nected with vision are situated in
the poeterior part, or rear of the
brain. 81.
Likewise, the speech center is on
the left side. a little above and in
front Of the ear.
We also know that the nerve
cells controlling movement of the
limbs are placed along fissure at
the middle and near the top Of the
brain-along the so-called Fissure
of Rolando.
In fact, the right half Of the
brain is relatively dormant and
functionless. Practically all Of the
work is done by the left side.
The unconscious mind is not dis
tinguished from the conscious by
any special or peculiar kind of
structure.
The whole brain, really, forms the
basis and structure of the uncon-
scious.
The conscious mind is really moth
ing but a phase of the unconscious
that part Of the unconscious. if
you will, that we employe in waking
life, that part by means Of which
we come into contact with the world
in which we live and with the peo-
pie with whom we associate.
Coming back to the faculty Of
forgetting, it is assumed that few
if any, things are absolutely for
gotten.
Perhaps special effort or a spe-
cial set Of circumstances is requir-
ed 10 bring back TO consciousness
the buried unconscious memory.
Nevertheless. practically every
thought or idea or association that
has emotion attached to it can be
recalled somehow.
The modern school of psychology,
known as the psychoanalytic school
makes such a claim.
Yes, forgetting has advantages,
All Of US have been thwarted in
our ambitions, all have suffered in
one way or another.
It's a good thing we cannot think
Of these things all the time or at
the spur Of the moment.
If We did, we would be harping
continually in the past and would
probably do little, if anything, else !

Taking Life Seriously

ing up on the plowhandles of an old
fashioned pillow. 1t points the pow
shares down. 1t makes the pulling
hard. but it plows deep.
Taking a light, flippant, careless
attitude toward life is like pushing
down on the plowhandles. 1t points
the plowshare up. 1t means the pull
ing will be easier at the time, for it
is blowing only the surface.
But the true gold of life lies deep
er than the surface.
A cynic said: "If you want to
love people don't expect too much of
them"
But in real life the one who loves
people best and sees the fineness in
them most clearly is the one who
does expect much of them.
We all tend to measure up when
much is expected of us. and 10
slump in an atmosphere Of depre-
ciatory opinions. We may not COM
pletely meet expectations, but we
come nearer by having someone be-
lieve that we are going to do it.
Lifting up on the plowhandles,
getting under the surface of life.
and taking things seriously may
sometime seem to add to the burden,
but it is the source Of the truly
great in human character.

A few weeks ago an automobile
traversed the continent, travelling
from coast TO coast without stopping
for a moment. That is counted
marvellous achievement. 1t really
is a marvellous achievement.
But If it is a remarkable thing
for a mechanical invention to run
wiohout stopping for a week or two,
what can be said of the human
heart, which never flags for eighty,
ninety and even a hundred years:
I knew a lady who had fainting
spells for 80 years. During that
period there was hardly a week
when she did not brighten her family
by falling in a dead faint. Many
times they thought the end had
come.
But when she came to die, her
vitality was such that for days
without nourishment and for many
hours without water, which she
could not swallow. she held on 10
the thread Of life. Her heart, weak
and staggering at times, continued
faithfully 10 pump the blood
through her vessels.
1t is far more wonderful for a
thing Of flesh TO 90 on and on and
on. unfailing for a single minute
through a century of time, than it is
for a man-made device TO perform
its function for the brief lifetime of
a machine.
The heart is an organ which is
disregarded by the average man.
Since he never feels it or is con-
scious Of it, he never thinks of it.
Yet it is an organ vital to existence
itself and should be given serious
thought.
It is easy TO abuse the heart.
Over-e1ertion is the habitual sin
Of the average man. The heart is
largely muscle. II you work till
you are utterly Frustrated, the heart
muscles feel the effect. Whether
actual harm results depends on your
physical state.
4 country-born man, doing inside
work in the city. goes home for a
visit. He may undertake to pitch
hay or chop wood, undertakings
which were simple and easily done
in bis boyhood. Exerting half the
effort he used to employ its sudden
and unfamiliar strain throws upon

One Of the most cowardly and
enervating of doctrines is the one:
Don't expect anything and you
won't be disappointed"
Born Of the fear of personal suf-
fering it is the father of shallow
character.
The great souls have always ex-
pected much. They have plunged in
stalking their all on their faith.
Only the vacillating and feeble
assay the uncertain, half-heartedly,
with a weak smile and a bow ready
for the ieering crowd in case of
failure.
Not in failure. but in lacking
courage even to try is real defeat.
"Worse than a gutter is the man
who is afraid to begin"
Not laughter from the haunting
crowd, but acceptance by it into
its folds as a supine inconsequential
is the real disgrace.
Not in being deceived, but in
never having trusted lies the real
tragedy.
The great souls suffer and are re-
fined in the suffering.
The revealed deficiency of trust
ed friend pierces deep when no
armor of carelessness is worn.
Sincerity often brings sadness,
but it is the hearts blood Of char
