interested in is make Germany pay but to make Ger

MATTHEW ARNOLD once

whole"
TO SEE LIFE wHOLE-that
can come to any human spirit.
We do not naturally see life
whole. We see 1t as animals,
savages and little children see
tin fragments, fragments which
affect Us. Dimly we realize that
there is other experience beyond
ours-other joys and sorrows,
fears and hopes-but we do not
actually FEEL that other expert
ence nor wish to feel it. We do
not wish to see life whole. We
only wish to see that part of
life which concerns US. Upon
that, We focus all our thought
and emotion.
And because we give ourselves
fragments of life. they acquire
tremendous mastery over US.
A TOE ACHE, TO THE MAN
WHO CAN THINK ONLY OF
HIS OWN TOE ACHE, Is MORE

go further.
Stop thinking of that hurt in its
relation to you. Think of it in
relation to the other fellow-to
the other fellows life-to ALL
life. Why do people hurt each
other? What loneliness. what fear,
what sense of futility lies behind
that desire to hurt?
Study that ranking spirit which
hurt you. Presently you will
find that you have forgotten your
own hurt-you have forgotten your
own Self. You will have left your
Self as a bird leaves a trap and
cast yourself into endless reaches
of infinitty. And from that height,
from that serene detachment, you
will have a blessed instant OF
SEEING LIFE WHOLE.
That is one small example OF
SEEING LIFE WHOLE. But the
principle which lies behind it
can be applied to every occasion
in your life. 1t can be applied
to the most heart-breaking tragedy
as well as to the most trivial cir
cumstances. For all that may
happen to you is only part of
universal experience, the SUD-
stance of life from which you
take your individual experience.
As you perceive, more and more
clearly, your place in the scheme
of things you will also perceive
something else. Gradually you
will come to see Something tower
ing behind all the pain and con-
misunderstanding sure and serene,
beautiful and strong beyond all
your imagining-a Presence that
is, at once, the answer and ths
source Of all we are.
When you haYe sensed that
Presence you will at last begin

T DARE say that no one ever has

where else in the world.
I hardly need describe the
pyramids. Everyone is more or
less acquainted with their general
appearance, so I shall only say a
little about them. The Great
Pyramid is one of the most amaz.
ing monuments in the world, solely
because of the vast labor required
in its building. It Is estimated
that there are 100000 blocks of
stone, each Weighing about two
and half tons, in this great
tomb. Herodotus wrote about it
years and years ago, and to him
may be given credit for the
knowledge that it took 100, 900 men
employed constantly throughout
twenty years to build it.
The interior of this pyramid,
and the vast majority of the
others, is hardly worth visiting.
The passageways are small and
the air almost unbearable. The

OF A WIFE

This Marriage

This Marriage
Next to knowing how to catch
a man, the most important thing,
to a woman, Is to know how to
let him GO!
Among the Kurdish tribes, a
man Is allowed four wives, but
usually takes only one: in America
he is allowed only one wife, but
usually borrows few others.
Married Woman: One who gets
a real kick out of lunching at
hotel-and a big thrill out of the
shoe-clerk's assurance that she
has an aristocratic instep.
When a married man Is thrown
overheard, somehow, he can al.
ways manage to swim to the
other side, and land in some
other woman's arrns--or just to
float around, until some other
woman picks him up.
A husband, like a photograph,
rarely does a woman Justice
and almost never flatters her.
Many young husband doesn't
know where his next meal is
coming from-until he sees the
label on the can.
Many a woman starts a row
over nothing, just to relieve the
monotony. The average mans
emotions toward his wife are so
deeply buried. that it takes a
domestic earthquake to bring
them to the surface.
Sometimes, barber shop can
change a man in 20 minutes, as
marriage could never change him
in 20 years.

CORRECTING
CHILDREN
Dr. Louis r. Risch-

WE all love children-at least,
w we ought to love them. Ma.
ternity and paternity are uni.
versal instincts. Yet. no matter
how much you may love your
children, they are bound at times
to become something Of a nui-
sance. Grown-ups become ac-
customed to certain habits Of
comfort and children have a way
of disturbing that tranquility
which is very annoying.
But do not forget, under such
circumstances. that you yourself
were once a romping, scatter
Drained child. And bear in mind
the possibility-nay, the proba.
bility-that at least some Of the
annoying traits which your child
displays you. yourself, have handed
down to him.
Indeed, no one should want a
goody-goody boy or girl as son
or daughter.
Normal children are high
spirited and mischievous.
Normal children get into trouble.
Normal children are like little,
untamed animals.
Normal children require coer-
cion, correction and sometimes
punishment.
Often. too. children's annoying
traits reflect the attitude which
their parents bear them. Chronic
disobedience. for instance. may
mean the expression of a child'S
disappointment and resentment at
the way he is being treated.
Again, a wayward child may be
continually running away from
home because the parents are for
ever nagging-not the child-but
each other.
Children are more sensitive to
harmony and disharmony in a
home than Is generally recog'
nized. Disagreements b t W e e n
man and wife should always be
conducted out of earshot OF the
little ones.
When children annoy you try
to put yourself in their place.
Your annoyance will promptly
disappear.
Practice love first and always!
Not the love that Is over-indulg'
ent to the detriment of character
building in the children, but love
that is understanding. that SYM

If they upset you to the point OF
