CONGRESSMAN WRITES

In answering letter to the Amer
lean regarding compensation to a
World War veteran in poor health,
Congressman Godfrey G. Goodwin of
Cambridge writes: 81 want to assure
you that / have all the time necessary
to exert, myself in behalf of the
World War veterans, and they are
justly entitled to every consideration

Going on Mr.. Goodwin says: q

ON ADVERTISING

Advertising has made Americas
standard of living higher than that
of any other nation in the world.
In no place else in the world have
so many people we'll equipped bath
rooms, telephones, automobiles, wash
ing machines, furnaces and other
things that go toward more COM
Portable life. ALI of this has in part
been accomplished by advertising.
81 believe the music trades have
overlooked a vital point in their adj
vertising," says a prominent musical
instrument manufacturer. "They are
neglecting to sell music to the
American people. The constant re-
iteration that this particular band In
strument is the best will do no good
Your average citizen may know it is
the best, and still not want to buy
it-for the very simple reason that
he may prefer to buy something be-
sides a band instrument. He must
first be sold on music. He must be
told of its cultural value, he, must
learn how it will go far toward throw
ing his boy with the right associates"
A good example of the value of
advertising of this type has been fur
nished by the oil burner industry, an
industry that has grown to monstrous
proportions almost over night They
use sound arguments for the advant-
ages of oil over coal as furnace fuel.
They are creating "a demand for
their entire industry, and every re-
putable concern within the industry

pectation. The potatoes in the sandy
soil are not so hard hit, but those
on heavy soil will probably suffer
considerable damage. 1t simply again
illustrates the hardships the farmer
must contend with and the unfor-
seen calamities that rise up to in
flict injury upon him.
with my warmest regards, / beg
to remain,
Yours very truly,
Godfrey G.. Goodwin"

EFFICIENCY-NOT ENOUGH

When a young man is offered a
be: "How much is there in it," Not
How much can l put into it," How
much service can I render?" ."How
much can 1 do for which ] am not
paid?" The next step in education
must be to instill worthy ideals of
conduct and character; to awaken dor
mant conseiences, to arouse the nobler
sentiments, and to inspire manly and
womanly impulses.
Emotions are the mainsprings of
life. Properly develop the nobler
emotions and all else will follow
even efficiency.
The school must train not for eff
ficiency alone, but it. must be the
instrument of liberal culture, the
means of awakening and ministering
to all the higher instincts, the means
of refining the soul and purging it
of all that is base and ignoble; the
means of stimulating the higher
forms of unselfish social service.
The great problems of the world are
not primarily questions demanding
technical skill, but are social and
moral ql estions. There is skill enoueh h,
scientific knowledge enough, available,
if there were only courage enough,
honesty enough, and unselfishness
enough in applying the knowledge.
A strict application of the ten
commandments would solve almost
every really great question confront
ing the world.

LIFE
Duluth Herald)

A party of friends had come through
storm ON the water that, while not
at all dangerous, had made some of
them think more than usual of the
perils of the deep.
The storm had been followed by a
peaceful calm, as storms always are;
for in the depth of the mightiest
storm it is possible to look forward
confidently to the calm that lies
ahead, and without the storm we
would not, perhaps, appreciate the
calm as we should. In the ease of
that peace they were talking, these
friends, of life and death.
81 was just thinking" said one,
that it would not be so terrible to go
that way, altogether without parting.
Life is often hard for all of us, and
it is hard most of the time for many
of us. Death, the common lot, at
least ends the struggle"
struggle"
THAT is so'', said another. 1--WE
must go some time. Human life,
compared with eternity, is appallingly
brief What, real difference does it
make whether we go now. or few
breaths later?"
And then in a little while that last
one spoke again.
mo-" he said, 81 was thoughtlessly
wrong-we were both wrong-about
that. Life is-life ought to be-RICH.
If it is meager, it is because we do
not take from it what it has to offer.
If it is hard, it is usually because
we make it hard.
"Think for a moment what there
is in life that is precious, that ought
to make us cling to it-not in fear
of death but through love of life.
Life is full of beauty-the beauty of
sea and land and mountain and
stream and hill and valley and forest
and plain; the beauty of affection and
sacrifice and love and friendship and
service; the beauty of books and pic
lures and plays and friendly talk;
the beauty of worship, of conscious
unity with the invisible glory that
shapes and governs all that is lovely
and sweet; the beauty of work, Of
creation, of expression, of the re-
Election in the visible life of the
wondreus beauties of the invisible
realm of the spirit-of the universe
that God made and that man cannot
spoil, as he so often does the world
of his material vision.
7. mo, life ought to be rich-CAN
be rich; for it is largely what we
make it by our thought. If it seems
hard and cruel and painful, that,
surely, is because we let ourselves see
it so, when by turning away from the
harsh and terrible and cultivating
appreciation of the beauties of life and
gratitude for them we could as easily
see life to be rich and wide and full
and glorious.
1--WE are too much like the person
who, with thousand things that he
ought to be thankful for, will let one
little annoyance fill his heart with
misery and make him forget, in
senseless ingratitude, the thousand
good things that he might reckon up
and be glad for instead of wasting
his time plying himself because of
the one petty irritation.
Rather than idly belittling life, we
ought to be cultivating it, enriching
it, appropriating the beauty and joy
it offers so abundantly. We ought to

Tension Is Relieved
by White Woodwork

There is something about white
woodwork in a house that seems to
relieve the tension of the stern duties
hat compose the days work, and this,
!OO may be used as a device to con
lect the various elements of the house
t fittingly frames other light tones in
he background and contrasts pleasing
y with the darker ones. 1t is neutral,
!or 1t goes with anything, but it is dis
inctive, too, and adds richness and
paciousness to the aspect of the home.
In general, light colors make the
room seem larger and lighter, and
give the effect of daintiness, cleanli-
less and cheer. If used to excess an
effect of barrenness may be produced.
Light colors generally respond well to
lrtificial light.
On the other hand, dark colors will
decrease the size Of the room, but
produce an effect of richness and dig
atty. They are, however, hard to IL
uminate at night and may become
gloomy or even dingy If used too hard
Conspicuous contrasts in light and
lark, such as dark walls with light
woodwork, or light walls and dark
woodwork, are restless and distract
ing. There should be only enough diff
terence between walls and woodwork
20 avoid monotony.

With Money as
the Measure

We have had in the history of or
ganized effort some remarkable
achievements that have justified in a
striking way the value of mass sale
of labor. When the great degree of
progress made by the associated toll
ers is considered the wonder is that
there are so many wage earners who
still seem to believe that single-hand-
ed and alone they can bargain sue
cessfully on the industrial field with
organized capital. On the measure
ment by money alone the absurdity
of such a philosophy is at once ap-
parent. There are other considera-
tions that make the individual atti-
tude the more ridiculous. Money as
represented by wages is most i'm
portant. 1t sets the standard of cit
izenship and of living. 1t means edu-
cation OF the lack of it for the chill
dren.
On the other hand, there is in or
ganized labor spirit Of independence
and of liberty that is of more value
than money. Our forefathers fought
for liberty, individual and civil lib
erty. Organized labor fights for in
dustrial liberty, for the right of the
toiler to self-expression, to a voice in
the determination of his status as a
producer, for equality before law and
man. Without recognition of its dig
nifty and its rightful place in society,
and achieving it's ideals, money would
be but poor recOmpenSe.

So, why make that promise? Why
delay the fun of living until that
golden moment Of your dreams when
you are going to take it easy? Why
wait?
Life is only so long. Nobody can
crowd all the good things it offers
into a decade Even though you
live, age will creep on to take away
the bloom from the things you plan
ned to do. You can't motor across
the Continental Divide at 60 and get
the same punch out of it you could
have gotten at 40. At 60 you can
not hike in the woods and brave the
dangers Of the outdoors as you did
when young.
What does it profit a man to gain
the whole world and then shuttle off
What is the sense of making a great
pile of money and lose the power to
enjoy it?

fore his end, that he expected to quit

He Hadn't Time

The funeral procession that held
you up as you were driving along the
street was in honor Of a man who
hadn't time. He was only 50, yet in

be enticed away from his desk One
meeting followed another. One con-
ference crowded up another. HES
daily correspondence was a veritabe
mound. He hadn't time for anything
but business-until they called in the
undertaken.
Most of US have the promise of a
good three score years and ten. Twen-
ty-five of these years we spend in
growing and getting prepared to

promising ourselves to sit down and
enjoy the last ten or twenty years,
with big roll in the bank. But the

that promise is not always perform

Lay Shingles Properly
and Use Good Nails

Straight grained shingles, sawed
from sound bolts, laid four and half
inches to the weather, nailed with two
three-penny blued nails to each shin
gle, and no shingle more than six
inches wide, will outlast two success
sive coverings of cheaper shingles,
laid carelessly. Poorly nailed shingles,
especially when laid in wide courses,
too much exposed to the weather, will
curl, split and decay from too much
wet surface underneath. Inadequate
mailing invites decay and ruin.

Placing Iodine
In Ohio River
To Stop Goiter
Specialist Advocates Measure to
Check Advance of the
Disease

Cincinnati, D. The placing of
iodine in the Ohio river was advocat-
ed by DR.. Joseph L. DeCourcy, Gin
cinnati goiter specialist, as a deter
rent factor in the treatment of goit-
er. DR.. DeCourcy pointed out that
this method was the only way all per-
sons could be reached. In discussing
the situation he said:
"Goiters in childhood are harmful
in so far that a definite percentage of
them persist in later life, at which
stage they do a great deal of harm.
From statistics throughout the Unit
ed States and Europe it appears that
goiter may be prevented by taking
small amounts of iodine. Evidence
has accrued to such an extent that
this is worth a thorough trial.
"lt is my opinion therefore that
iodine should be added to the supply
of water from the Ohio river imme-
diately. The expense should not be
deterrent factor because the peo-
pie living along the Ohio river alone
pay enough money for the treatment
of advanced goiter every week to sup
ply the entire state of Ohio with
iodine for one year.
'If goiter can be prevented in this
way we will accomplish a great deal
in future generations, because a Ger
tain percentage of children born of
goltfous parents are apt to be
thyroid deficient, condition which
in itself causes marked retardation of
intelligence, and they not infrequent-
,ly become total dependents.
''Dr. William Engelbach, noted
authority on endocrine disturbances,
in a recent lecture said that one out
of every seven children are born de-
fective, largely due to this cause.
'The fact that certain amount of
the iodine would be wasted because
of the large volume of water used for
commercial enterprises would be more
than offset by the results obtained"
