The planet Mars la preparing- to show
himself again during the winter In one
of the "oppositions'' for which he has be
come famous.
His red disk will gleam like a battle
lantern over the fields of strife, and
many an eye will be lifted from the
trenches and the trampled xnow to that
lurid portent in the midnight sky.
, , There seems to have been no reason
other than Its suggestive color fori the
election of this planet as tho celestial
symbol of the war god. Vet It was uni
versally so regarded In ancient times.
If we could tell why Mars Is red wo
might hit upon the whole tecret of that
strange planet:. Its color Is probably due
to some peculiar quality of Its soli. It
may he principally compos! of material
resembling our red sandstone, or it may
be stained red by an abundance of Iron
in Its rocks.
Do You
By ADA PATTERSOX,
Is yours a limited life self -limited?
I refero not to the length of life, al
though that, too, is largely in our own
hands. What is in my mind is whether
you have built a high fence about your
self and live within it.' refusing to look
out at the wide world that lies beyond
that fence?
There is dsnger, very great danger, of
building that fence- around ourselves and
our Interests. The fence building is called
selfishness, and the process goes on and
on. Its punishment is that the fence
closes in upon us. Everyday it closes
further and further until we can hardly
turn about, can scarcely breath within
it.
The conditions of life tend to drive us
Inward. We should counteract them by
a supreme effort of will. It will repay ua
to make this effort. It will pay dividends
of actual worldly profit.
Consider the housekeeper. It she builds
that fence so high about herself and home
and family that she never learns how the
woman two doors down turned her cur
tains or that they were good for two
more seasons; and if she does not meet
and chat now and then with Mrs. Brown
about how she gave the children of the
neighborhood a picnic in her back yard
at small expense; and If she doesn't hear
about thst new dressmaker who has come
to town and who is so adept at remodel
ing old gowns Into new that she
laughingly named her establishment a
"hospital for sick dresses," that woman

The approach of Mars toward the earth
will not, on this occasion, be very close,
the two planets will be some sixty mil
lion miles apart, but, on the other hand.
Mars will be well 'situated In the sky for
observational purposes. Its northern
hemisphere, which Is the least known,
will be the one presented most conspicu
ously to view..
The Idea of trying to communicate with
the Inhabitants of Mars Is sure to be put
forward again, especially In view of the
recent achievements of wireless tele
phony. , .
It is now perfectly certain that we
can send electric1 waves, bearing signals
and capable of reproducing the sounds
of the human voice, completely around
the world.
We shall, soon after the war Is ended,
begin to talk with people on all the con
tinents, wherever the proper apparatus
can be set up. But these marvelous

will go on keeping house and entertain

same way sb did ten year ago. That is
going backward. Communion of ideas is
going forward.
Th business man that ha built a
fence about himself and conducts his
business as ha did before, and thinks
that way good enough, presently notices
a falling off in his business. He may
attribute th falling off to 'conditions."
That is a big elastlo word that we often

was popular then, but th trouble with
"Hank" so all th men patrons called

himself.
. His patrons cam to know his menu
by heart. They used to recite It backward.
In a deep toned litany. "Hank" thought
It a joke and laughed mere loudly than
any of them. Some of th men spoke
seriously to him about their desire for

"They used to be good enough." he said
stubbornly, "and if they were good

The New
By CHARLES H. PARXHURST.
There la; a considerable number of
people who fear that they will not be
credited with poasess'ng superior intel
ligence unless th idea they put forth
are essentially different from those
previously given to the public, or perhaps,
ven directly contrary to what ha been
commonly accepted. .
With them originality no matter what
sort of a thing it Is that they originate
's a symptom of genius. Hence it comes
bout that the world of ideas Is flooded
with all sorts and description of nov
elties. We have, therefore, what 1 known
as th new though, and the new theology,
the new art and the new morality.
To believe substantially as people bare
been for a long time accustomed to be
lieve is to place one's self In th class
of the unthinking or even of defectives.
And now Dr. Krehblel of Leland Stan
ford university ha been regalllng th
conference of Clark university people
at Worcester, Mass., with another brand
new doctrine which he calls th new na
tionalism. H says of It: "Th time will com
when It will be so patent and will
have so influenced public thought that
nationalism will be recogn sd as an
old win bottle not fit to hold th new
wine, when some form of international
organisation and co-operation in har
mony with life will be demanded."
Ills Idea appears to be that a man la
const'tutlonally International, and that
he Is so universal In his Interest and
he la so nujveral in his Interests and
filiations, and sprawl out so exten
s velv I i every direction beyond all geo
I r; Y j 1 frontiers that such frontiers will
taic entuauy in nave any suoaianuai

waves are not formed In the atmosphere;
they travel In the ether, which fills all
space and extends from planet to planet
and from star to star.
It Is questionable whether they are not
more or loss Impeded by the atmosphere.
It not, the deserted lunar world may
be conceived to have become, with a few
years past, the haunt of strange electro
magnetic echoes from the feverish life
of Us big animated neighbor.
Unfortunately the needed evidence of
life upon the moon Is not forthcoming.
Our nearest neighbor In the sky appears
to be a dead, or totally abandoned, world.
With Mars the case is different. Mars
has air, which the moon has not; Mars
has water, which the moon has not;
Mars has days and nights and seasons
resembling the earth's, which the moon
has not; and, finally, Mars has signifi
cant markings upon its surface, which
at leart suggest the work of hands guided
by a high intelligence.
Stomachs rebel against the sam far
continuously served. Th old patrons be
gan to disappear. Men stood no more
behind the chairs of other masticating
men. The rush became a memory. Vacant
seat began to show even at th rush
hours. "Hank" grew sullen.
But he wouldn't change his bill of far,
wouldn't introduce new dishes) The pLace
around th corner won his former
patrons. Even his friends fell away. They
had been fenced out.
Yesterday when I slipped iato "Hank's"
for a cup of chocolate there were new
faces and a new air In the place. "Hank''
had sold out, for th benefit of his
creditors.
Better have contact with our fellow.
Better turn inquiring eyes on what the
rest of the world Is doing. Best take an
uncarplng interest in what, and those,
that are going on about us. Else one day
w will find that they have passed by.
It is well to rub brslns with brains!
Don't acorn what the world of today is
doing. Its tastes may seem a hit cheap,
but Carlyle told us that the Instincts of
the masses ar what govern the world.
Better understand their way of seeing
even though you don't see that way.
And who are we if, not of the masses.
For our own sokes, for the sake of the
world's progress, let us not narrow our
interests. Let us r;ad the newspapers,
see plas, talk with our friends, our
neighbors, with strangers. Let us not
fence ourselves about, narrow our in
terests, limit our lives.
Nationalism
doctrine the professor would say that
tha - tun Is coming, although he doe
not say how soon, when Americanism,
in th present sense of the term, will
no longer signify, and that the univers
ality of our loyalty will erase our pa
triotism, as th incoming tide gather
up into one deep continuous sea all the
pools left behind when the last tide re
ceded. bo far as his theory carries with it th
hope and expectation that with the prog
ress ot Cbrbttian development our frater
nal Interest In mankind will become more
and more widely extended, we should
none of u be disposed to take exception
to his statement. But it Is a phychoiogl
cal fact that a different sentiment, to be
of any practical algniflcanc or force, is
conditional upon a confined concentra
tion of sentiment.
W can cite domestic life as an illus
tration of our principle. Ware w to
follow out the professor's Idea to It ulti
mate, w should have to expect that th
universalizing of our interest and affeo
lions would issue in gradually relaxing
and eventually obliterating bom ties, till
at last our homes as such would ceas to
exist, or, at any rate, would serve no
other purpose than that of a convenient
habitat for purpose of eating and sleep
ing. Now th contrary of that 1 th
fact.
The true home, ln the fullness of Its
concentrated and confined affection, is
th very plao most to b counted upon
a tha point of divergence, out from
which radiate those ever-lengthening line
of devotion by which th world at large
Is mad better, brighter and sweeter.
Loving our own America more will give
u more -heart for all mankind Instead
of an increased Intereat In mankind re
ducing and contratcilns- our duvotlon to
America.
Courage More
Important than
a Bank Account
By JOHN II. T. MAIN.
Trealdent Orlnnell College. Orlnnell, la.
Many a boy that ought to go to college
and that wunts to go to college does not
do eo because he fears the handicap of
Siendrr resources.
Ills fears overcome his deelre.
Tnstend of Kolng to college hi takes a
Job and loes a grat opportun ty .
To be anre his lack of courn.'.-e has gone
far to prove that he was not tie genuine
college type.
It suggests that he would not have
won out ca a college man.
A college man needs courage In the far
f difficulties.
Courage Is more important than a bank
account.
Any lad with a conviction bnsed on
good common sense and a fair ii-cord In
the preparatory school is ontit'ed to a
college education If he wants It. and It Is
Certain to be his !f he determines that I
it shall be.
. Borne weeks ago I sat near four lads
In a railroad car en route from North
ampton. Mass., to Springfield. Their con
versation indicated that they were In
the last year of a high achool courae.
They were discussing tho prospects of
next yeer In college. Three of the Isds
hsd chosen the same college. One had
chosen Harvard college. They were eager,
quick-witted lads, alive to the problems
of college and the future.
Their speech Indicated that their re
sources were slender. Three were urging
th fourth to "com along," but the
fourth hsd his mind muds up and finally
declared warmly, "I am going to Har
vard. I am going to Harvard If It takes
all the rest of my life to pay the debt."
The emphasis of his words marked him
out as a fit subject for a college educa
tion. He had planned his educational fu
ture. He was determined to have what
be had planned to have. He had made
his choice and Illustrated the fact that
in comparison with courage and the will
to achieve the questions of money, of
expense, of location are quite Incidental.
This lsd already hsd success well In
command. Success wss already his nerv
ant. In th ordinary and normal course
of things he will go to the college of his
cholo.
He will leave It at graduation In debt.
He will not stay in debt, but ha will go
to work and pay his debt snd be a suc
cessful man and citizen. His debt will
be a perpetual Inspiration and a perpetual
Investment, bringing back not only dol
lars, but Innumerable satisfactions, both
material and spiritual.
Many business men would advise this
lad not to go to college. They would
say to him, "You can't afford It." Buch
men have no capacity to see a debt as
an investment.
They do not rcs.ll a that the greatest
Investments that have ever been made
have originally been debts. They see
only the difficulty and do not realise that
a wis tad reduces a difficulty to Its sim
ple elements or pays no attention to It
whatever.
A story Is told of th Wright brothers.
I do not know whether It is true or not.
If It Is not true, it ought to be true.
When Wilbur and Orvtlle Wright were
lads they worked In their father's back
yard in Dayton, O., on various mechani
cal devices, spurred on by the ambition
that they might some days make a fly
ing machine. An old neighbor noticed
. k - 1 ..LI.. XT wiiiM MMalnn<v !
VliV W7I .. u niii,. . " " - i - J
com and watch them. On day th old
neighbor said to Wilbur:
"Wilbur, don't you know that nobody
ever did make a flying machine?"
Wilbur reflected and mad no reply.
After a moment th old gentleman con-,
tlnued:
"Wilbur, don't you know that nobody i
ever will make a flying machine?"
Still no reply from Wilbur. And then;
finally, as If to ttl th whol matter: I
"Wilbur, if anybody ever did make a I
flying machine, It wouldn't be nobody In j
Dayton.
That remark finished th neighbor, but
tho flying machine was built, and a new
mechanical world was created.
It isn't every lad that can achlev th ;
"impossible," a th Wright brother did.
but every lad with common sens and an
adequate amount of that Indefinable qual-1
ity known as "gumption" can find a way J
to go to college, and If he goes to college j
he will ultimately achieve success. Bat-',
ter still, he will b achieving success all
the time. Success Is a process. He will
capitalize and recapitalise his debts and
his capacities and bring hack to himself
many satisfactions and give them in turn ,
back to th world.
One William James, In beginning his
courae In Harvard university, said to th
students who filled hi lecture room
something Ilk this:
"Possibly there ar no geniuses in this
room. I hope there's none, but every
one who Is here. If he works hard, if
he gets a Job, if h persists when h is
40 years of age will be a useful and re
spected man In hi community."
The lads who ar fit to go to college
are not primarily the one who have re
sources, not the one who have genluj,
but the ones, regardless of resources and
genius, who have the wlll-to-achleve.
In-Shoots
Tainted money usually sprouts wines
first.
When the house divided against Itself
falls the bricks always hit the under
dog.
It does pot always reform a man to get
married, but it usually make him more
cautlou.
Th girl who want to mak literature
count will first memoriae th content of
th cook book.
W ar often saddened by thought that '
the handeom movl screen hero may
hav a sissy vote.
Th fact thst a few of us ar still
living seem to tak th snap ut of

Of course, there ar far mora tempta

there are for a man. A man can be well

be your balance In the bank.
If you have laid money aside, you can

you are treated tin)istly. you can afford

you ar nothing but an industrial slave,
worse off than the blacks were In th

Of course It's hard for a girl to save.
For on thing, because her family al
ways thinks that a daughter's pocket
hook belongs to them instead of being
her 'individual property; and for another,
tecause so msny of her friends think of
her as someone from whom they can al
ways borrow money.

tho she loves, but unless she use som
enlightened selfishness and looks out for
her own Interests she will find that no

I would particularly warn gtrls against
th follow of loaning money promiscu
ously. There's an old proverb that say
that when you loan money to a friend
you lost your money and your friend
both, and this 1 worth remembering. . ,
I have known girl to deny themselves

Th only way you can save money la
by adopting a system and making it a)
rule to put aside a certain amount every
