THE JOY OF WORKING
w. c. COSTELLO,
Manager

When Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.
on his Goth birthday recently, remarked
that his work was not done yet, and
would never be done as long as he lived,
he aimed a shaft right at the center Of
one of the oldest of human dreams.
This dream-which all of us, in one
way or another, nourish now and then
is the dream of somehow getting ones
life work finished so that one can get
out of harness and sit down somewhere
to enjoy the evening of life in carefree
idleness and repose.
Most of us, of course, are fated never
to make that dream come true; but we
keep on dreaming it, Just the same, look
ing forward to some time in the future
when we can stop working and take
things easy. And it is just this that Mr..
Justice Holmes will nave none of.
"The work." says the aged justice,
''never is done while the power to work
remains. 1t canot be- while you still
live. For to live is to function. That is
all there is in living"
Perhaps this is something that ap-
plies only to those fortunate people who
have found work for which they are es-
pecially fitted and which they especial
ly enjoy. Mr.. Justice Holmes, of course,
1dIlS lulO lildI (lctSSlI4SdblNii N->SNN'''
Not all of us are that lucky.
Nevertheless, to a certain degree his
remark has universal application. And
its truth rests largely on little-under-
stood but important fact; namely, that
we enjoy life most, not when we are ac-
tually seeking happiness, but when we
have completely forgotten about 1t and
are working our heads off at the days
job.
Often enough this job is not particu-
larly interesting Often the man who is
plugging away at it can think of many
other jobs that he would enjoy good
deal more. But that is not the point.
The point is that to plunge head-over-
heels into work-to lose ones self in the
doing of something, so that all of ones
energies and abilities are called into play
constantly-is to know completeness of
living that can be known in no other way.
For life is not exactly a toilsome pill
grimage towards a restful stopping place
where one can lie under the trees and
wait for the night 1t is the sum total of
all of the things one does, day in and day
out. If these things hold one, and de-
mand the utmost one can give them, life
comes, in the end, to a respectable sum.
1t is easy to see that this is just what
has happened to Mr.. Justice Holmes.

 MAKE REPORT SOON

Surveyors of the United States Salvage Association have been at work on the Alaska Steamship Company's passenger liner Alam- eda, swept recently by 8 disastrous fire, and a decision will be reach ed soon as to what disposition is to be made of the vessel.
 More than 100 companies held the S500,000 insurance on the All ameda. The American Marine In- surance Syndicate of New York had the largest amount which totaled nearly $250,0o0.
 The Alameda virtually was de- stroyed from her tween decks up. However, her boiler and engine rooms were not seriously damaged and could be returned to service. Bids will be requested for repairs to the Alameda and if they exceed $5OO,000, the vessel will be taken over by the underwriters and the Alaska Steamship Company paid total loss insurance.
 If the ship can be repaired for substantial sum less than $500,- 900, the work will be done and she will be delivered back to her own CTS. Tn case the Alameda Is taken yer by the underwriters a.' 3 to- tai loss, she will be sold for either scrapping or some other disposi- tion.

Leonard Knocks Out Brooklyn Fighter
Crowd Of 5000 Jeers as Pal
Silvers Takes Count In

Leonard has started his comeback
campaign with a Knockout victory
over Pal Silvers of Brooklyn with the
jeers of crowd of $4,000 as the prin-

ed Silvers in the second round of
their ten round bout in the Queens
boro Stadium last ngiht and Silvers
stayed down for the full count al
though most experts at the ringside
thought the blows were anything but
hard. At the count Of ten, Silvers
bounced to his feet, apparently un-
hurt, and ready to continue. Referee
Arthur Donovan waved him to his
corner and lifted Leonard's hand as
the winner.
Benny, q bit plump around the
waistline, showed the effects OF his
seven-year layoff from the ring. The
undefeated lightweight champion ap-
peared "stage struck" in the first
round and the sudden ending OF the
bout in the second round made 1t i'm
possible to deduce just what chance
Leonard has of winning the middle
weight title, the goal on which he says
his eyes are fixed.
