We can't always live in big mo

u:.u . - l l i" i .
The steepest mountain slopes
away to foothills. The most moun
tainous country has its passes and
ravines. Great stretches of level
plain lie across every land.
So the most tumultuous life has
placid moments. The most eventful
career has its quiet hoars. And
of course there are - lives wliich
have no high lights, no moments of
emotion, no vividness nothing.
There are lives which seem doomed
to remain in a backwater, without
tides or storms or radiant sunshine.
Neither sorrow jior joy visits them.
Only a vast lonetiness.
Every day letters come to me
from city and country from 'village
and town; And the burden of many
of them is something like this:
"Nothing ever happens to me. I'm
so lonely I don't know what to do.
I don't seem to have opportunties
for meeting people. I just go on
nd on until I'm desperate. Can't
you help me to meet the right
people?" ? .
And, sadly enough, in most cases
I can't, -a
Stop and think about it. My cor.
respondents are unknown friends
who write to me from the 'great
spaces of a busy world. Our paths
don't cross. They can't. There
aren't enough hours in the day for
me to see or write personally to all
the dear unknown friends I long to
help. And just because we aren't
going to meet and suffer the embar
rassments of adjustment one to the
other, those dear friends out tn
spate can write me with all th
greater frankness. We're spirits to
each other, and aren t hampered by
our human, prejudices and attrae
tions.
Nor can I risk making these un
known known to each other. Human
nature isn t safe enough for that.
All ! cart do is give counsel out
of tny own experiences, and the first
word of advice to all lonely souls
is embodied in this little bit of
verse'. .
"Patience a littlei Learn to wait.
Years are long on the clock of
' fate.
If only youth would be patient.
it only it would wait the good and
true and not seize .rashly on what
ever life -presents. So often youth
takes a cheap substitute for the
companionship and love it craves,
afnd just when it is too late to be
;free of the ugly entagtement and
us wnsequence, aiong comet vile
offering its best gifts.
, There are so many things to tide
.us over -the drab and quiet days.
First, there's the strength to do
..what the day requires and to do it
so well that the .mere doing gives

which finds beautiful refreshment

rog. tne radiance of light coming to
disperse pale dawn. , . ,
.' Joy of the soul is the supreme
gift of the Spirit Serene. Please
don't laugh with the arrogance of
youth, and deride I don't know a
thing about it I do know. Satisfy
ing the body can ntjver give the fine
radiance of feeling which comes
from satisfying the soul.
Satisfying the soul satisfies the
body, too. There's a radiant
warmth, a sense of well-being, a
feeling of nplift to be found in spir
itual joys. And bodily ones depart
leaving nothing but a dull thud of
reaction. V. i
How do you feel when you've eat
en too much dfnner? Heavy, loggy;
desirous of nothing but to slip away
somewhere and sleep off your
tef weariness.
How do vou feel when vou'veoi-
loted a poor old blind man arfoss
the street? Uplifted, pleased with
yourself, inclined to believe that
there's lot of kindness jh the
'world. , ' . ,
If you're lonely and bored, just
" remember that you are one of a vast
company, and that probably most
of the others are worse off .than you.
If you don't know what to do with
yourself, go out and seek someone
who's more in reed of kindness and
help than you aie. .
Most lonely folks seek nothing in
the yorlJ but a mate. Tfcey-are
flattering themselves that they have
a unique and interesting problem,
when the only problem they present
is the age-old one 'that is also the
problem of the wolf and' the bear.
But when man learned to walk up
tight and look'at the stars he devel
oped a few qualities bevond the
primitive instincts. And who wants
to confess -himself nothing but an
animal?
So don't go' whimpering through
life about your loneliness the mat
ing instinct, no. more but march
around with your head up and seek
a human chance to 'do someone else
a rood turn.
There fleyer was a better idea than

President's Statement
Women's Roosevelt
Memorial. .
Mrs. John Henry Hammond; pres
ident of the Woman's Roosevelt
Memoral association, authorizes the
following statement on the aims
and purposes of the association, the
national organization of American
women that restoring the birth
place of Theodore Roosevelt in New
York City:
"The Woman's Roosevelt Memor
ial association was started almost
immediately after Colonel Roose
velt's death with a permanent abiect
in view. Later the Roosevelt Me
morial association was formed, but
at no time has it been connected in
any way with our association. Ln
fortunatelv there has been some
confusion in the mind of the public
owing to the similarity in the names
of the two organizations. While
both associations are, I am sure, en
Hrely sympathetic with the purposes
of each' other, it is important for the
public to know they are entirely sep
arate and distinct.
"The Woman's Roosevelt Memor
ial association had from the first a
definite plan, namely, the restoration
of Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace.
The sight of the birthplace and the
adjoining property on East Twen
tieth street have been purchased and
completely paid for. An v architect
has been "selected and the work of
rebuilding and refurnishing the
structures as they originally stood
will be carried on actively this year.
It is for this definite purpose that
the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial
association, independent ot any oin
er organization, plans to ask the
American people, especially the
women of the country, for funds to
complete this work and to -provide
sufficient endowment for its upkeep
and operation as a shrine of Amer
icanism which people from the entire
country will visit in increasing num
bers as the years go on.
"Just ss "the women of America
restored Mount Vernon and assisted
in the restoration of Lincoln's birth
place at Hogdenyjlle, Ky., they have
now set out nponNhis definite plan.
In order., therefore,, that this work
might always be connected with the
v.omen of America, our association
was incorporated as the Woman s
Roosevelt Memorial association.
The new 192Q sweaters are far
brighter than those of lViy.
Music at the Movies Must
Improve to . Satisfy
Public.
."People will 'one day come to see
tliat the movties are an institution
and not a frivojlous.way for wasting
money. But en order that those
movies 'may become an institution,
worthy of the name, they must be
improved, buifc up, developed, made
effective, You understand, of course,
that I use the term 'movies' in the
connection of the entire : entertain
ment, not only the pictures, but all
the things that go with it to make
up an evening's program."
Hugo Ricsenfeld,.the author and
finisher of the policy of the two
most pretentious motion picture the
aters in the country, sat hunched up
in an obscure seat in a dimmed the
ater where his first venture in mu
sical comedy wag being given to the
public. He lived up to no precon
ceived ideas that have been given of
an author on a first night. His
hands were not clenched, he did not
bite his nails. He did not snatch
at his disordered hair. He couldn't.
His hainwas not disordered. He did
not fidget ahput in his seat and make
people near Trim wonder if his con
science troubled him. He did none
of the things that books solemnly
tell us are done by authors. The
fact is worth repetition. And with
his mind, for the moment, on the
infant musical comedy, it was not to
be thought that. Hugo Riesenfeid
would forgtt the elder child, known
as "intelligent music for the mov
ing picture theater."
"Those whose business it is to
give moving pictures to the public
can no longer presuppose that they
are dealing with children easily paci
fied. Theycannot say 'We give
them good pictures that is enough.
The muic is of no importance, as
long as there is sound.' You say
our audiences are composed, mainly,
of middle-class people, foreigners,
shop girls" a ioreign shrug of the
shoulders conveyed the breadth of
those audiences "and tha) they do
not know good music from bad, or
at least do not know it positively
enough to demand the good. Ah I
but that is wnere-vou are wrong.
"Frequently after I have spent
hours over my programs, . hours
drilling my orchestra in tone shad
ings' and in proper rhythms, after I
have speculated and experimented
with lighting effects proof I go to
my, stand and before I have directed
past a third of the first page, I feel
an indefinable something that means
unpleasant reaction on the part of
my public. They have been offendet
somehow by the- mjisic I have se
lected, or disappointed. Perhaps
have made it too gay, too sad-ho
can I know but that they are hos
tile to it, 1 know quickly enough. I
must work! to change it.
"There is progress in everything
Progress in art, in letters," in music,
even in labor. We must keep abreast
of the times. The public is no
longer content to drift into some
little, silly, darkened, close theater
to see a badly done picture, thrown
jerkily on to a screen, one that is,
perhaps, torn it demands the satis
faction of its' subtler lenses. Its,
sense of beauty must be met, under
stood, satisfied. It must feel that
it is 'receiving something good, not
something merely haphazard Chris

people. The early writers congregated in one Coffee House, actors in
others, ana stoat exchange operators tn others, etc.
Coffee has continued, not only as a drink of sociability, but has
:. become necessary to the home life and meals of nearly every f am-
f ily. Incidentally, the healthiest people in tfie world, the people of
Scandinavia, use the most coffee. As a country', the United Slates con-.
sumcs the most coffee,
. Coffee in the early days, probably came from one country, was of
une selection and likjtly ungraded.
Today, coffee is greatly improved and comes from many different
countries, each growing a different type of coffee. For instance, there are
eighteen (18) different Varieties of coffee and eight (8) different grades, so
that in our Butter-Nut Coffee we have a perfect blend, as the secret, is in as
sembling the varieties of coffees of the best grades and blending them into
one perfect drink, characteristic for9 its fragrance, richness and
dcliciousness,
