Ones Luck Will Seem Less Tough
After Reading of Others Problems

Well, maybe the furnace did go out
wrong last night, or the old bus
wouldn't bulge, or the baby has the
Group again, or the note is due at the
bank. or the boss bawled you out when
1t wasn't your fault. or the boys
smoking cigarettes and talks of get
ting a flask, or you've just learned the
market has wiped YOU out and that
creditors have seized your Florida
property
Tough luck, every bit of it: but read

Board for Vocational Education, which
is concerned with civilian rehabilita-

AT the age of a young man had

| foster father and mother until the day
\ they drove up to the house for him.
| He had been in his new home only q
year when he became afflicted with
| septic fever. which confined him to his
| bed for a period of three years. Dur

legs separated at the knees and his
| left hip became deformed. He states
| that no medical attention was given
| his limbs. as the doctors concluded

Surprises Physicians.
| However. at the end of three years
| he surprised the physicians by partial
| recovery and was able to get about
with the aid of crutches. The nearest

his home, but his desire to get an edu.
] cation made the walking of this dis

was able to dispense with his crutches
| and he continued in school until he

AT the time his case came to the

QUEENS COUNSEL
The Curse of Jealousy.
BY MARIE, QUEEN OF ROUMANIA
Rsristercd limited states Patent Office.

Jealousy is at the bottom Of almost
every crime. Does not the old saying
go, Jealousy is the mother of all
evil
And thus it is. 1t is by far the
most destructive force in nature be
cause it embodies most other evil
forces such as fear, cowardice. rage.
1t destroys peace Of mind, love, har.
mouy and happiness.
Between lovers jealousy is Of course
10 a certain extent comprehensive,
based on the desire 10 receive and to
give. Or-when it is at its worst
the desire to possess, giving no care
to right or justice.
It's roots lie in nature herself. Love
in its ordinary sense is an unrasoned
passion, binding obsession. No one
is normal whilst love is at its high.
est. It is the hottest fever in exist
ence, it muddles the clcarest brain, and
that is part Of its irresistible ecstasy.
So it is that the loved one enjoys
lat first, at leasD that touch Of ieal-
ousy which hcightens the excitement
Of passion.
But that other jralousy-that creep
ing. jaundiced evil thing that gives
the heart an ugly sickness. that makes
a creature unable 10 see his own bless
ings being blinded by envy Of others!
That !, the terrible jealousy, which

Overloaded Imaginations
By DR.. FRANK CRANE

The trouble with most writing and
stage productions is that they stifle
the Imagination by overlooking it.
There are those who hold that il il
better to read a play than to see it
acted, for when you read your imagin-
alton can picture the scene, whereas
when you see the play all the work
Of your Imagination is done for you.
A suggestion to the Imagination is
better than too much.
The Orientals understand this and
their scenery in the play is Of a sug-
gestivc kind and is not realistic For
instance, when boat is to be depict
ed a real boat is not brought on
the stage, but some contraption that
can suggest a boat.
a little girl gets more fun out Of
an old rag doll than she does out Of
a fancy doll that can open and shut

which talks.
A boy gets quite as much fun out
Of riding astraddle Of a broomstick
and calling it a horse as he would
out Of riding a horse.
A great part Of the fun Of any kind
Of play consists in using the magma
ton and ike every other faculty, the
imagination gets more pleasure when
it is stimulated 10 activity than when
it is loaded down by outside pres
sure.
1t is better for the health 70 take
exercise than to have massage. 1t is
better to make your own exercise than
10 have someone make il for you.
In the same way it is better to use
your own imagination than to use that
Of someone else.
This has a distinct reference 10

Of suggestions than one which is full

Sen. Borah on

(The words below are from 'the
stirring address Of Senator Borah
before a packed Coliseum in Chi
cago on Washington's Birthday.
Borah was dcnouncing the reaction

into the World Court without al

Washington and no one else can.
In this conflict those who are not
for Washington's policies are against
them. Men who have to explain that
they are for the court but against the
league are taking us into the league
just the same as those who say they
are for the league. 1t is simply a
difference of method.
Washington's policies are either
sound or unsound. They should either
be preserved or abandoned. You can.
not be half in Europe and half out.
Now that we are in the Leagues
Court, they expect 10 get US into the
league itself. Colonel L. VI. House,
Woodrow Wilson's chief advisor, says
that, now the court fight is over, 1T
allows the leaders 10 release their f.
forts toward entrance into the
league"
Yes. they are released, and so are
we released. We are ready 20 meet
them. We ask them to come out into
the open and declare their purpose be-
fore the American people. They will

We are starting early and the Amcri-

Our Great Need
By Royal S. Copeland

II there is one thing more than an
other that we believe in in America
it is education. The school system i
the backbone Of our country. Not
every child can inherit a million dol,
lars but every child can have the
benefits Of the school room.
Did you ever stop TO think that
good health is a matter of education :
l suppose that primitive man could
safely follow his instincts. When ii
comes 10 eating and taking care OF
the body, however. l would not care
10 rely On the native instinct.
The government spends a lot Of
money in putting out pamphlets on
how 10 control plant diseases, about
how to guard against potato warts,
about how TO build chimneys and
fircplaces, and about the control Of
hog cholera. But, as | see it, we are
not doing nearly enough to educate
the 1Others how to bring up healthy
babies.
Fathers and mothers and prospec-
tive fathers and mothers must be
made to realize how necessary a
foundation Of good health il in order

be- knowledge is needed to guarantee
the life and health Of babies yet un-
born. When such information is uni
yeraI, then We may expect TO have
everywhere in this country healthier
and better babies.
Prospective parents must under
stand, TOO. that the health Of future
scurrations is dependent upon the
rght-Ilyiug Of this generation.

adoption Of the natural methods that
vii! make for health. You cannot get
this health by taking medicines. It q,
by right living that He can make good

widely as a wonder spot of the great

Hazards trip to the Wonderland

made to that section and wenh he
returned to Douglas, he issued a
statement heartily praising the at
fractions there and predicting that
soon the park would become known
throughout THE country. When he
left here, Hazard was contemplating
