LEARNING TO WALK
Just as we have reached the walk
less age we are to learn all about
walking. Man has walked for count
less centuries, but Yale investigators
say he has never known exactly how
he did it. So they have set up ap
paratus to find out.
It will be an interesting intellect
ual discovery. But who will make
use of it? 'Nobody walks but the
postman and he is beginning to use
a side-car motorcycle.
If it were not for the hereditary
persistence of useless parts, man
would soon be a legless animal. As
it is. Low many of us could contem
plate without consternation a twenty-mile
walk? t
About as many as can do a double
flip-flop, or read Greek.
:o:
Henry Ford's planes will carry

ON BEING HAPPY
How can we be happy? It is man
kind's greatest desire. How can it
be attained?
Through having fun? Delusion of
delusions! The battlecry of the mod
ern generation is "Let's have some
fun!" And they have their fun. Din
ners and dances and cabarets and
vaudeville and movies and "spoon
ing." When they have finished, they
start all over again.
In their home towns, in the big
cities, in the seaside and mountain
resort, in Palm Beach during the
winter and in Europe during the
summer. Nothing but fun. It is the
will-o'-the-wisp which all who can
afford, persistently chase.
Do they acquire happiness? Not
so you could notice it.
How to become happy is quite a
difficult problem. Of one thing you
may be sure the constant pursuit of
fun is not the solution.
The fun of Monday is rather stale
by the following Saturday. The
small things of life that give momen
tary delight, hardly ever help to
build up that state of mind and heart
and conscience from which, alone,
happiness may be derived.
Happiness or, at least, that form
of happiness which the human heart
yearns for is a lasting quality
which is not affected by the weather,
by worry or by the vicissitudes of
fortune. Some people, through a
God-given freak of temperament, are
born with a happy disposition which
translates every experience that
comes along into its own rosy terms.
Most of us have to build up this
treasure like depositing money in
the bank, a penny at a time.
The philosophers tell us that this
lasting kind of happiness can be ac
quired, but the only way to acquire
it is by work and self-denial. They
say that there is happiness in look
ing back each day and each month
and each year at the work that was
well done. And they say that there
is growing happiness in self-denial,
in "doing without."
Can this be true? Have you tried
it? Is it worth taking a chance and
experimenting along these lines?
Every millionaire will tell you
that money alone doesn't bring hap
piness. The physical and moral bank
rupts who have devoted their lives
to the keep pursuit of pleasure will
assure you that happiness does not
result from "fun."
Why not try the philosophers'
scheme for a while? It will at least
save many a headache and many a
dollar. And, for all you know, it
may work out well.
Start in by giving up some habit
which, you know, is not good for
you. And then work, and work hard.
Particularly to improve your mind.
:o:
GERMANY'S TROUBLES
The German labor struggle is a
small part of the pain of economic
readjustment which that nation must
suffer before her place in interna
tional commerce and industry is re
established. For a little while after
the Dawes plan became effective the
German workingman was willing to
work long hours and for low wages
as his share of the necessary' expense
of readjustment, but he is tiring.
Rapidly rising costs of living for
which the new German fiscal polics
is responsible, and, moreover, render
his present wage inadequate, unless
he turns to a definitely lower stand
ard of living, and that he will not
accept without a fight.
It will be no easy matter for Ger
many to come back. She lost her
foreign markets and the nations
which now divide them among them
selves are as determined to hold them
as Germany is to win them back.
The German mercantile marine is
only a shadow of its former self.
Germany's financial hold upon cen
tral Europe has been lost and her
strategic trade connections have been
entirely severed by the political re
organizations which have come over
central Europe since 1914.
In spite of these disadvantages
Germany has pledged herself to the
annual payment of a large and a pro
gressively increasing sum on account
of reparations. Her leaders, realiz
ing the importance of developing an
export trade, have placed such duties
upon foreign products as will cer
tainly reduce importations, and if
foreign markets for German goods
and services can be found, leave an
export surplus as a basis for pay
ments to our war allies.
If Germany is going to make good
on these obligations, not only must
employer and employe get together
and begin work in industries and
lookouts, but the entire nation must
take up its belt as it did during the
war and live economically for per
haps another decade. American auto
mobile manufacturers and manufac
turers of other semi-luxuries should
not protest the practically prohibi
tive duties Germany has imposed up
on their products. The Germany of
the next few years ought to deny,
must deny, its citizens such articles

:o:
IT'S HARD WORK
"Writing is just hard work," mod
estly says Corra Harris, who writes
very well, indeed. Of course, it is
more than that. Most people cannot
write well, just as they cannot draw
or sing well no matter how hard
they work. But also, no one, how
ever talented, can write well without
hard work. Language easy to read
is necessarily hard to write. And
the knowledge, the thought, the feel
ing, the imagination, the observa
tion and experience of life, without
which there is nothing to write
about these come only after exceed
ingly hard work. "Writing is a tal
ent, a trade, an art and a life. Only
the intensest concentration of all
these can produce anything greatly
worth while.

T0IJGH LUCK
After spending a day painting the
top of a chimney, 150 feet high, a
Long Island steeplejack came down
to eartli, and received a fractured hip
when struck by a motor car.
An army aviator made a daring
leap from an airplane with a para
chute. He landed easily on top of a
truck, but before he could attract the
attention of the driver so the vehicle
could be stopped, he was thrown to
the ground and a leg broken.
Looks like the air is safer than
the ground these days, but then some
people always were unlucky.
:o:
MARRIAGE LAWS
Michigan now has a law aimed at
preventing hasty marriages and
elopements. You have to wait five
days before receiving your marriage
license after applying for it.
In this age of motor cars such a
law can accomplish little. It's too
short a ride to the state line. Ne
braska recently ' tried such a law
wit hout success.
The only solution seems to be uni
form marriage and divorce laws
either through federal enactment or
concerted action by the states.
What we can't understand about
the millionaires who offered the cap
tain of a ship 1100,000 to turn back
to land and relieve her sea-sickness,
is how she happened not to offer the
whole darn million.

THE AGE OF BOBS
And now they are going to bob the
Ten Commandments.
' According to the press dispatches,
a report will be submitted at the
Episcopal general convention at New
Orleans in October recommending
the use of an abbreviated form of the
commandments in the ritual of the
church.
Maybe it's all right. Everything
else is being bobbed nowadays, so
why not the commandments. In this
age of bobs we have:
1. Bobbed skirts.
2. Bobbed stockings.
3. Bobbed faces (no ears).
4. Bobbed Christian names.
5. Bobbed tresses.
6. Bobbed brains.
7. Bobbed purses.
8. Bobbed parents.
9. Bobbed teachers.
10. Bobbed lives.
Almost equal to the Ten Command
ments, eh, wot?

Babe Ruth tried to steal home at
2:30 in the morning, but was tagged
out by Manager Huggins with a ?5,

gins, Ruth has been hitting nothing
much except highballs this season.
Babe's story is different: "I am hit
ting the ball as hard as ever, but
they are not going safe."
:o:
When a man is appointed to a po
sition of trust, he should know some
thing of affairs of that position. The
war office should be under the man
agement of a general who has served
with distinction in war. The same
in the navy. Wilbur is not practical.
Neither is Secretary Weeks. They
may be practical politicians.
