HANDCLASPS

Nothing so eloquently reveals character as the hand
clasp. One may train his voice to express courage and
a cordially unpossessed; one may acquire a poker-face;
one may feign pleasure at meeting and displeasure at
parting: but the offered hand neither conceals nor
deceives. A blind man, deaf and dumb from birth, can
read this message of the hand.
Is it a strong hand that functions with the irresistible
determination of a wise? If it is, it belongs to a herman
"a go-getter-or to a true friend. It's warm and sturdy
clasp belongs to a frank countenance and a feeling heart.
Is it a hand that gives a quick. slight pressure and at
once liberates itself? That sort belongs to the busy man
and is born of independence and individualism.
Is it a limp hand? Then 1t belongs to a limp man, to
one who is too tired to be interested in persons and
things. To hin hand shaking is an unnecessary formal
ity in which no energy should be wasted.
Is 1t q lingering hand which caresses rather than
clasps and which refuses to lberate its prey-is it a
predatory hand-until it has accomplished its purpose?
This is the practiced handclasp Of the politician, the
swindler and the cheat. It belongs to the man with q
mission" or a message"
Grasp the hands of those you would have show their
hand"

NAPOLEON EXILED

On August 8. 1915, Napoleon
Bonaparte, a prisoner, sailed from
England for St. Helena, where he
lived in exile until his death in 1921.
After the terrible defeat at Wet
crloo, Napoleon returned to Paris
where, after several futile attempts
to regain his prestige, he abdicated
on June %, 1915.
His mighty edifice Of power
orumblcd, and fearing death at the
hands of the triumphant faction in
France, Napoleon went on board
the English cruise,, "Bellerophon,"
and surrendered himself July Is.
To the Prince Regent in England,
he wrote: "A prey to the factions
which divided my country and to the
cnmity of the powers OF Europe, l
have terminated my public career,
and / come, like Thcmistocles, to
seat myself at the hearth of the
British people. | place myself un-
der the protection OF its laws. which
| claim from your Royal Highness
as the most powerful, the most con-
slant and the most generous Of my
enemies"
The English government finally
decided to send Napoleon to st. Hell
ena, to separate him from the rev.
%olutionary party in Europe and to
preclude any possible chance Of him

Editorial Comment
THE SAD STATE OF AMERICAN WALT,

d.. C. C. DOwden, addressing the American Medical
association convention at Portland, states that one of
the most common complaints of the American public is
q lack Of pep. He diagnoses this complaint as due. not
SO much to any serious disease as to the influence of
bad liquor. the mental depression following the war.
and the after effects Of the FLU" epidemic.
It comes as something of a shock after years of prid-
ing ourselves on our American vitality and pep to dis
cover that doctors find exhaustion to be one Of our most
common complaints. American energy and exuberance
have always been a favorite topic with foreign visitors
and lecturers. The moving pictures. the press, and con-
temporary novels and magazine stories have joined in
creating this illusion of boundless health and spirits.
Now We discover that all has been a mistake. We
are really on our last legs. What. in heavens name, will
foreign authors and statesmen comment on? What viii

WRITE CHEERFUL LETTERS

Maybe you never thought about It, but q cheerful let
ter is a fine tonic. and 1t is just as easy to write a cheer
full letter as a gloomy one. OF course, some of us are
better writer's than others. but there is no reason why the
ordinary letter can not be cheerful. there is no good rea-
son why the ordinary writer. or the poor writer, cannot
sound . cheerful note when writing the ordinary letter.
Cheer is q big thing. The clever writer of a business
letter studies the scientific meaning OF the word: he
knows al about it-psychoiogicaliy and tcmp.ramentally.
The bulk Of q business letter may be purely matter-of
fact In text. yet. somewhere. the clever writer will sound
the cheerful note that leaves . splendid taste in the
mouth Of the reader.
You are always glad to receive letters from some peo-
pie. Why? The answer is that you know their letters
are cheerful, that tfese writer's have = way Of telling
things without the gloomy aspects. and-well. you just
feel good ever hearing from them. that's ali. Again,
there are some people who seemed determined to look
Altogether on the dark side Of everything and their views
are invariably reflected in the letters they send out to
their friends and their business correspondent.
A cheerful letter is like . beacon light to q weary
traveller who has lost his way: It comes with I'll the re-
fzcshins sweetness Of a summer morn and the honeyed
Eunshire Of spring.

Til. spirit Of rivalry and competition which they foster
Is on the whole a good thing.
But 1t is we'll to remember that such mere acquiring
OF facts is by no means the whole of education. The
fact that it is often mistaken for education renders it
Necessary that we should insist strongly on it tina. the
mere acquiring of facts may have in itself but little 10
do with education. What gives such information value
is the use to which the holder OF it may put it when there
is occasion to use 1t. II is what you do with a fact that
makes it important and worth while. Otherwise our
minds remain lunber-rooms.
1t is this practice OF using facts which distinguishes
the educated man from him who is a mere collector of
facts. A half dozen facts properly used may give the in
dividual a new viewpoint on life: it may open vistas
never before open to him: it may stimulate thought of
a depth and scope which could never be obtained
through the %haphazard collection of hundreds of facts.
Facts. definite and irrefragible facts. are the iounda-
ton CT learning; they are only the foundation. The
superstructure is thinking. That's what facts should
be used for.

SELF INTEREST

The most fascinating subject Of conversation to the
average man is-himself. He likes to mediate upon
himself, talk about himself, and be talked about favor
ably. Which is quite natural. considering the fact that,
SO far rs he is concerned, he is the most important
creature on earth.
A mans job. his family, his health, his achievement of
fortune, his life are the most interesting and vital things
in the universe to him. Anyone who can offer light and
leading on these paramount issues is a public benefac-
tor. He gets a hearing, or a reading.
No wonder the average American is a confirmed
newspaper reader. The honest and clean journal of
events is an open book revealing the heart and mind of
the race. It deals in human interest. It sketches the
average man in his universal chara = ,ristics. It salts
flies his hunger to know about himself.

THE OLD CHURCH SOCIAL

was not on Its annual program. But it is seldom heard
of any more and is recalled only as a pleasant memory

Now the venerable church oociable Is being questioned

think the sociablc has outliyed its usefulness.
In the state Of Washington the Presbytcrians discussed
the matter very seriously at their annual meeting. Their
particular concern was the influence Of the sociahlc on
young people. They wanted to know whether the young
men and women Who attend the churc1's social gather

ADVERTISING HELPS CREDIT

There is one way by which a business mans credit is
improved. and that is by a policy of consistent adver-
Using. Bank men believe in advertising. for they know
it pays. Their feeling. therefore. is that when a mer-
chant who is a good advertiser applies for a loan. that
a reasonable amount Of goods, bought by him on credit.
Is likely to be turned over quickly and promptly paid for,
on account of his methods of keeping his goods con-
stantly before the public.
Discriminating buyers of every class know they can get
fresh goods from the store that advertises. The mer-
chant who advertises seldom has ~shop-worn goods. And
in that way advertising helps the merchants credit not
only with the banks but with his customers. And one
is just as important as the other.

USE HARD SWIMMING STROKES

Many women take up swimming in
order to become graceful or to de-
velop their bodies with more SYM
mctry of form. Sometimes, how
ever, a woman learns strokes which
become easy to her, and does not
give her as much exercise as if
many difficult strokes were tried.
1t is often Of value to use all kinds
Of peculiar and difficult strokes in
order to get the most exercise. For
this reason it is advisable for ev-
eryone to take swimming lessons
and learn as many different kinds of
strokes and movements in the water
as possible. The easiest stroke is
the so-called dog stroke" which is
a sort of padding stroke. When one
who cannot swim is suddenly thrown
into the water, he will usually ma
turally resort to this stroke and be
able to keep afloat.
When the side stroke is used, the
swimmer should learn to alternate
the stroke so that s-ler the right
arm is used in the forward 'roke
for a short distance the swimmer
should turn to the other side and
use the left arm forward. Begin
ners usually like this stroke, since
they do not have to submerge the
face, as in the crawl stroke.
The breast stroke affords a very
good exercise and more resembles
the swimming movements of the
frog.
In the crawl stroke the arms are
used alternately, reaching far for
ward on each stroke, and rolling the
body from side to side. The breath
ing must be carefully controlled, and
as the face is submerged part of the
time, it is necessary to take long
breaths through the mouth while the
mouth is out of the water, and ex-
haling through the nose when the
face is passing under water from
| one side to the other. This pro-
notes vigorous deep breathing and
makes the crawl stroke especially
beneficial to health.
The back stroke is another excel
! lent movement which uses the mus
clcs in an entirely different way
than any of the other strokes taken
| while lying face downward. Any
good swimming instructor can teach
you these different kinds of strokes,
but do not be satisfied to continue
using only the movements which r
easy for you.
1t is sometimes a good plan to
simply stand in the water about
shoulder high and churn the water
vigorously with YOUR arms and
hands, initiating movements which
you might use in a gymnasium
while exercising with chest weights.
At least part Of the time while you
are swimming try to make the swim
ming as difficult as possible so as

WHEN YOUTH LEARNS

Education does not begin until one is Is and con-
tinues until IS, if it ends at all, says a British novelist.
Tell that to the sophisticated youth Of the present. Is
there a flapper who does not think she knows infinitely
more than her mother. and is there a c~igaretted youth
who does not think he can teach his father? While the
older may know better, youth holds to its fancied SUI
periority.
AS for the diplomaed thousands, how dare even the
boldest novelist question their education? Do not most
Of them nurse the illusion that they know all that is to
be known? Age will teach them otherwise, but youth
has to learn for itself. And when it has learned that its
fancied wisdom was largely folly and that its imagined
education was lacking in much of the real thing, it is
no longer youth. That is the tragedy of 1t.
