NEW CLAIM ADVANCED.
Norwegians Say America Named
for Erik the Red.

MADISON, Wis. PD.-It now de-
velops that the Norwegians, not content
with claiming that Left Ericsson should
be hailed as the discoverer of America,
contend that the continent was named
for Erik the Red, Leif's father. This
discounts the belief that the name came
from that of Amerigo Vespucci.
They argue thus: Amt" in Norwegian
means land" Hence land Of Erik"
and eventually America"
Also, the descendants of the Vikings,
and there are many in Wisconsin, argue
that Erik has as good claim to the
discovery of America as Columbus.

was a refuge at first; gradually
it became a DISTINCTION. It
set her apart and made her
important to be unhappy all the
time. Unhappiness became a
habit, stubborn habit, a lazy,
conceited habit.
Eleanor would Indignantly
deny all this. She would pro-
test that she really wants to be
hapy. But she fools herself,
as most of us do. Eleanor can
be happy if she wants to be.
The only thing that's holding
her is Eleanor. OF course, she
has had hard luck in the past,
but so have many other people.
That sad past couldn't blast
Eleanor'S present if she were
willing to shake it off. But
she isn't. She has found it
easier and more interesting to
be unhappy than happy-she
has made an addiction of grief.

100 feet per second.
Now let us suppose that you

would be a 100 years before
the message would reach your

You would die long before
you could possibly know you

Again consider the question
of age with reference to the

Venus are closer To the sun

smaller planets than the earth,
their paths around the sun are

Thus a year on Mercury Is

On the other hand, Neptune
is so far away from the sun,

equivalent to 167 of our years!
A man who lived 100 years
on earth would live approx
mately 400 years on Mercury,
but he would live only about
three-fifths of a year, or seven

1t is interesting to compare
the sizes of the different
planets. Take the moon, which
is 100000 miles away from the
earth.
1t would take nearly so moons

On the other hand, let us

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Risch-

THE person who never has
l. made a mistake in life does
not exist.
The person who has always
gone ahead without trials and
tribulations and mishaps, is a
character not to be found even
in fiction.
Some appear luckier than
others, some more misfortunate
than others. But take any life,
and you will find it dotted with
ups and downs in varying pro-
portions and intensity.
Nobody's course is smooth,
even continuously successful!
Yet one hears people so often
bewailing their fate. IF only
I had my life to live over
again!" they moan.
The truth of the matter is
that if actually you did have
your life to live over again you
probably would do exactly as
you have done with the life
you're leading right now!
Granted that you started all
over again with the same
hereditary background and de-
veloped your childhood in the
same environment, there is no
question but what the course
of your adult years, except pos
sibly for a few negligible differ
enceS, would be identical with
what it is today.
Of course, you wish you could
begin again because you feel,
with the experiences Of this life,
you would know better how to
navigate next time! And you
probably would. We do profit
by past experiences. If you
could apply the lessons you
have already learned in this
life to another, the story might
be different!
But why wish for a new exist
ence? Why yearn for the i'm
possible? Why not start all
over again right now?
Why wish for something that
can never be on this earth?
And why not assume you've an
other chanc3 right now?
It is never too late to begin
again, to turn the proverbial
new leaf" to start once more
with energy and hope vitalized
and buttressed by the wisdom
gained from your own ups and
downs, your own LIES expert
enceS.
It really can be done. Scores
and scores Lave accomplished it.
Men have lost fortunes only
to be spurred on to make new
ones. Inventors have time and
again been on the point of max
ing some wonderful discovery
only to find that it was not yet
to be. But they kept right on
and finally they won out.
Do not therefore be dismayed.
Nothing in your past can be of
such magnitude and power that
it can destroy your chances for
the future.
Disappointments in the love-
life probably hurt the most,
much more than financial or
business failures.

beneath you. You do not con-
slider the laboring man or wo-
man as q human being to whom
you should be kind. And if
you try to assume a kind man
ner you are patronizing in a
way that is not a credit to you.
Undoubtedly you have never
tried to learn the warmth and
happiness which kind words
from you might bring to those
who have never been able to
reach the ladder leading to
higher accomplishments.
Too many save their smiles
and compliments for those who
do not need them and who do

the heavenly bodies.
Some individuals are inclined
to be Sceptical Of the immense
figures given by the astronomers
and the biologists. Bernard
Shaw recently declared, wittily,
that he doubted the conclusions
Of the astronomers regarding
the distance of the sun from
the earth. Because a bank OF
clouds caused such a marked
fall in temperature he was in
clined to doubt whether the
sun was as much as $4,000 miles
away, much less 100000!
What does a3,000,000 miles
mean to you? '.-
Stated badly. it can mean
nothing but an incredible great
distance. No real significance
can attach to it, when stated
merely as a number. To be-
come comprehensive, it must
be expressed in terms Of some
unit sufficiently small for our
minds to grasp: -
Let us suppose that you were

Suppose, for convenience, that

If you lived. to be 100 years

to make the globe-circling tour

Are YOu Willing to Be Happy?
By Elsie Robinson

ELEANOR THOMPSON by
~ Elsie Robinson is a very
unhappy woman. You might
say, she's inveterately unhappy.
Everyone says - What a
shame a fine woman like Flea
nor should have had such a
terrible time. Ever since she
was a girl. You know how her
father failed, just as she was
entering college, and she had
to take any job she could get.
Then her brother Jim was
drowned. she n Jim had just
idolized each other. Then she
had that long sickness, after
she married Steve. then the
baby died. and she almost
went insane from grief. And to
cap it all, Steve ran away with
that Turner woman. What an
awful life she's had, poor thing!
Oh, of course, she has fine
position now and lovely home
You can't expect her to be
happy after going through all
that"
That's what people say about
Eleanor, and Eleanor agrees
with them. She often speaks
about it and wonders, wistfully,
if she'll ever be really happy
before she dies.
PROBABLY SHE WON'T,
BUT THAT ISN'T BECAUSE
FATE HAS TT IN FOR Flea
NOR. IT'S BECAUSE Flea
NOR, HERSELF, is NOT WILL
ING TO BE HAPPY.
How mad Eleanor would be
If you told her that. But it's
true.
Eleanor had had a run of bad
luck-such a run of bad luck
that her mind has actually
gotten "set" against good luck.
For years she was in a blind

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland
Mrs. sOIomon's Sayings.

WE&s SUAUAuUM Say AuABS
VERILY, my Daughter, the
' way Of a man with a maid
hath ceased to be mystifying;
and is now planet than the
headline of a baseball extra,
and easier to read than an
electric sign.
But, the way Of a wise dam
sci with a MAN requireth more
Subtilty than ever.
Then, go to the haberdasher'S
mirror, thou Simple One, which
reflects a man in all his glory,
and is always flattering. Con-
slider it's ways, and be wise.
Go to the sofa-cushion,
which sootheth his headaches,
comforteth his imagination,
softeneth his spirit, but re-
maineth always out Of reach.
Go to the radio, which anus
eth him according to his moods,
yet can always be SILENCED
at his will.
Go to the kitten. which &C
cepteth his CaresSes without
question, but never returneth
them, charmeth him with its
playfulness, delighteth him with
nothing
Go to the sofa-cushion, which
sootheth his headaches, COM
forteth him in times Of wear1-
ness, receiveth his condolences,
and keepeth it's own counsel.
Go to the briar pipe, which
calmeth his nerves, inSpireth
him to sweet dreams, stimu-
lateth his thoughts. yet may
be always left at home, ana
complainant not when 1t is
neglected.
Consider the typewriter,
which recordeth all his words,
and never answereth back, nor
seeketh to be ORIGINAL.
Consider the hot-water bag.
which easeth his pain, cureth
his Sufferings, yet chattereth
not in his ears, and never saith,
st told you sol"
Consider the silk hat, which
increaSeth his stature, addeth
to his prestige and maketh him
to feel important-yet, abideth
cheerfully upon shelf and is
not peeVed.
For, verify, verify, unto any
man, that which maketh him
comfortable and appeaSeth his
vanity is more desirable than
that which dazzleth him and
demandeth his attention. And
a little surface tenderness is
more acceptable than flaming
emotions and much deep de-
votion.
Then, heed my counsel, my
Daughter. and be not tempted
by the preachers of Modern
ism" For, the way to a mans
heart is the same today, yes
terday and forever.
And she that maketh WHO'D
pee and playeth the good fel-

she that Sootheth his spirit,
appealeth to his vanity, and
stilleth his fears, will GET him!
