THE SECRET OF EFFICIENCY

The better the philosophy of life, the more fully it
regulates every least act. Hence the greater the efficiency
Of the philosopher. If born with a mere trckle of energy,
he accCmplishes ten times more with it than anybody else
who has not thought things through to the bitter end.
MANY a frail wise man has achieved more than the
burly brutes who have risen to power, only to find them
selves incapable of smooth straightline action.
The common observer is misled by the performance of
thinkers. lie attributes to them superhuman funds of vital
force or transcendent intelligences. Yet there may be moth
ing more than CLEAR MISUNDERSTANDING and an
IRON DISCIPLINE at the bottom of the thoughtful mans
success.

POEM FOR THE WEEK
NEW WONDER
BY John Williams Andrews

To me, between the ll-absorhing wonders
OF birth and death, is come this Woman-thing;
No substance born of comet fires or ~thundcrs,
Light, or the common earth. yet rendering
Changes undreamed of in this pattern of days;
A new absorption, focusing the spirit
In concentration past all reasoning ways,
Past hope or fear, desire, reward or merit.
So if, in these rich hours if, in this house
Shaped by our common will; if, in these nights
So full of moonlight along apple houghs
Catching just now the late sun from the ~heightS)
If, in this lonliness, where night and day,
Scarcely another voice than ours is heard,
Only the winds voice; only, far away,
The crystal crying of a woodland bird;
If, in this singleness of life, | seem
Over absorbed, believe, no casual thing
PreCccupies; rather, the imperious dream
Which life imposes where the narrow ring
OF sight and sound and uncouth circumstances
OrdainS attention, till immediate wants
Slough off and fade. Where the souls silence grows,
Sense manufacturers strangeness from a vein
Deeper than earth, deeper than wind or rain.

To look fearlessly upon life; to
accept the laws of nature, not
with meek resignation, hut as her
sons, who dare to search and ques-
to have peace and confidence
our souls-these are the
beliefs that make for happiness.

ment. But DR.. Louis Sunshine,
one of New York City's leading
plastic surgeons, believes that
some spies are literally getting
away with murder because their
faces have been cleverly reno

1t is possible. according to Or.
Sunshine, for a man or woman
with an Oriental cast of features
to undergo a comparatively
simple surgical operation which
will remove every trace of Far
Eastern origin.
Three OF the photographs at
the top of. the page illustrate the
doctors point. although they are

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Beneath a coat of ebon hue,
May beat a heart that's kind anC
true.
The worst of scamps in time of need
Will often do kindly deed.
"CaW, c-a-w!" exclaimed Blacky
the Crow. BoWser looked up to the
top of the tall tree where Blacky sat
and in his great soft eyes was such
look Of triendliness as gave Blac ~
a funny feeling. You know Blacky
is not used to friendly looks He
is used to quite the other kind
Bowser came out of the old sugar
house where he had spent the night
and whined softly as he looked up
at Blacky AS he whined he Wagged
his tail ever so slightly. Blacky
didn't know what to make of it He
had never been more surprised in
his life. He didn't know which sur
prised him most-finding Bowser
way over here where he had no buSi-
ness to be or BoWser'S friendliness.
AS for Bowser, he had spent such
a forlorn, miserable night, and he
was so terribly lonesome, that the
very sound of Blacky's voice had
given him a queer thrill. Never had
he thought of Blacky the Crow as
a friend. In fact, he never had
thought much about Blacky at all.
He had chased Blacky out of Farm
er Browns cornfield, early in the
spring sometimes, when Blacky was
pulling up young corn, but that is
all he had ever to do with him.
Now however, lonesome and lost as
he was, the sound of familiar voice
made him tingle all over with a
friendly feeling. So he whined soft
" and wagged his tail feebly as he
looked up at Blacky sitting in the
top of tall tree. Presently Bowser
limped out to the middle of the little
clearing and turned first this way
and then that way; then he sat
down and howled dismally. In an
instant Blacky the Grow understood.
Bowser was lost.
so that's the trouble" muttered
Blacky to himself. That silly dog
has got himself lost. I never will
be able to understand how anybody
can get lost. I never in my life
was lost, and never expect to be.
But it is easy enough to see that
Bowser is lost, and badly lost. My
goodness. how lame he is! l Won
der what's happened to him. Served
him right for hunting other people,
but I'm sorry for him just the same
What a helpless critter lost dog
is anyway. I suppose if he doesn't
find a house pretty soon he'll starve
to death. Old Man Coyote wouldn't
and Reddy Fox wouldn't. They
would catch something to eat, no
matter where they were. I sup
pose they wouldn't thank me for
doing it, but just the same l think
I'll take pity on Bowser and help
him out of his trouble"
