Friend of Animals Who Is
Worthy of Remembrance

To the Editor of The Star:
The passing Of time has brought VI
around to another Be Kind to Animals
week. Before 1t has ended It may be
well to pause just for Q moment to pay
. brief tribute to the memory Of Henry
Frank Lewith, whose tireless efforts ana
ready sacrifices brought about the ma
tional observance Of this occasion.
Born in the city Of Charleston, Q. C.,
Mr.. Lewith early evinced that love for
all life and compassion toward the SUI.
fering and helpless which characterized
his work. He took an active part In
local humane movements and Q lively
interest in humane conventions, which
he attended In various parts Of the
country from year to year.
The Charleston American each year
at this time printed with It's Sunday
edition q humane supplement which
was created by Mr.. Lewith to impress
upon the people the significance Of
Be Kind to Animals week.
HIS work was truly great In that It
espoused . noble cause In Q purely
unseihsh way. He was particularly
modest and unaSsumtng and worked In
quiet obscurity, hoping In this manner
to do the greatest good. Despite this
attitude he was familiar figure among
those who, like Minnie Madden Fiske,
Mary Craig Yarrow and many others,
devoted so much Of themselves, not only
to humane education, but also TO the
immediate alleviation Of suffering
among creatures who are ut the mercy
Of mankind.

Army Dismissals and
Emergency Employment

10 the Editor Of The Star:
The proposal to economize by reduc-
ing the number Of enlisted men in the
Army by some twelve or thirteen thou
sand on the one hand and on the other
creating an army for forestry service,
the expense of which per man is more
than double that of the Regular Army.
seems a most remarkable procedure in
the name of economy, and a peculiar
way of solving the unemployment prob
lem by creating more unemployment.
One wonders why the twelve or thir-
teen thousand enlisted men are not de-
tailed to forestry service and the two
or three thousand officers Is well, rather
than reducing our Army SO drastically
In such troublesome times.
This scheme, as well as some Of the
others whereby Government employees
engaged upon useful work are con-
demned to Join the army Of unemployed
In the name Of economy, while vast
sums are to be expended to create em-
ployment, the value Of which Is unde-
termined, reminds one Of some Of the
sleight- of hand tricks Of the magician.

duced from the magician's hat.

Milan, courses in public speaking are

All children are to be given the ad-

experience Of the advocates. Many at
torneys, it is reported, have found that
even after they have completed the
stipulated preparation they still are
lacking In the ability to present their
cases with conference and vigor. The
Milan newspaper says:
Either through self-consciousness or
excessive dindence they hesitate In
their speeches before the tribunals. and

Nature knows nothing OF them.
Failure, with her, brings no censure; !;
success no praise. Failure Is Its own
blame, and success its own reward.
That was the divine dispensation, un-
til self-awareness changed 1t.
We md 1t again in the garden.
There the kinks In living straighten
themselves out, or try to straighten

the same thing.
It is no wonder that the common
dream Of successful men In the city Is
to buy q farm, and there spend the re-
mainder Of their days.

The question Is: VIII it?
It may be doubted.
Happiness Is one Of the good things
Of life which knows nothing Of num-
bers. in sense.
It is not dependent upon numbers,
any more than quality Is dependent
upon them.
If we were to say, quality depends
upon quantity" every one would recog-
nize the falsity of the statement, but
when some one declares that happiness
depends upon volume Of happiness few
brand him as liar.
The happiness Of the garden Is truly
much in little"
It lies most In the little things, the
day-by-day observations and growths.

things glorious much in little

Only he misses the fun of gardening
who insists on looking toward bigger
and better results, who looks forward
to the flower show" rather than at
the real show in the growing garden.
It is the growing garden that counts,

One would solemnly warn, therefore,
all these restless human beings who in

For that reason the warm, wet days
Of Spring are welcomed above all others
since they bring to the appreciative
eye a train Of charming events easily

It is possible now to see the facts of
Nature, as they are sometimes called,
spread out legibly In every lawn, in
every shrub, in every tree, in every
seed bed.
Warmth and moisture combine to
arouse a dormant land. Soon, almost
before we know 1t, Summer will be here,
with every bush In leaf, with lawns
green and sparkling, with great trees
shading the land.
These are old facts, 80 old that some

who write Of them are dealing In plati-
