J- , J B THE OMAHA SUNDAY' BEE: MAY 30, 1920. What Are the Big Things of ? What Is Most Worth while? ; r By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. You want to make the most of your life" don't you,? - You long to get all you can out el life happiness, success, love. Ferhaps you are one of those who nave the visibn to-see that to get much from life, you must give much to it. ' ." " : But life' is tremendous and there are only 24 hours in a day. Life it self has to be reckoned irlj terms of the thousands of years the world has existed and the thousands more t will probably continue to be. We are pygmies who visit here for a lit tle while and we cannot hope , to gratp all of life in the short time we 30 the thing for you and me " to decide is what must we haveyWhat is vital? And what is nonessential? What rfiust we seek? What is it profitable to eliminate? It would be wise, I think, for us to dismiss certain, things from our scheme of existence. First . there's pretence." Sham. Untruth.' All the strain of living falsely and pretending to be other than w hat you are. : Won't -it be an actual relief to get rid of the strain cf posing and lying and "putting on?A V x Then There's Worry, ' Next there's worry. Mental fumb ling leads to looking so hard and so crookedly at little things that their value increases out of all pro portion j to reality. Worry gives you a mental squint and distorts the focus of everything. Out of worry grows " discontent. But discontent spreads over all hat is near it and poisons all it touches. It's made of dissatisfaction and bit terness and lack of faith. It doesn't construct. It destroys. - Discontent that sit$ down bitterly in idleness and enviesthe rest of the world while it pities itself is another of the things that must be eliminated if life is to advance; if life is to mean anything but death and de- cay. ,.- The other discontent which spurs to effort is worthy of another name. It is ambition. It is one of "the things -for which it is worth while to strive. But we are finding out wha we must eliminate what we must dismiss from our lives. Greed and self-seeking do not be long in our scheme of things. Help fulness and service are not in the vocabulary of the man or woman who thinks only of. self. And they are two of the richest things iq life. Service wins love and love is one of the things all of us ave. We have decided that untruth and worry, discontent and self-seeking re the things we will let , go and rut out of our lives. Now what shall we seek and keep and guard and use? And earnest thinker has given us the k?y to the storehouse of things we need to retain in our lives. He says: ' Today is, for all that we know, the opportunity and occasion of our lives. On what we do or say today may depend the. success and com pleteness of our entire life-struggle. It is for us, therefore, ,to useevery moment of today as if our very eternity were dependent on its words and deeds." , The importance of the moment is one of the most vital things for us to remember if we mean to make life worth while. Here and now is our chance for ' growth and achievement. Here and now is op portunity. Time as an Asset. Time is the most valuable asset given us for our own growth and betterment. Our work is the best means we have of making time count. Through work we achieve Why High Noon Weddings All of us frequently use expres sions of which we do not really know the meaning. Did you, . for example, know that noon is the tra ditional hour for . a wedding cere-" mony because in the oldeit days in England the bridegroom could not be relied upon to be sober any later in the day han this hour? Did you know that the word "tip" meaning a fee given to a servant is made of the first letter of the At. .... J pnrase to insure promptness, ana that the inscription used to be on money boxes ii every, tavern, in which travelers dropped their coins, which later . were divided equally among the servants? Did you know that when we say we give a person the "cold shoulder" that it was because of a custom once prevalent in France of. serving a cold shoulder of mutton instead of hot meat to a guest who had stayed longer than he was welcome? Did vou know that an unmarried woman is called a "spinster" because in olden days they were prohibited from marrying until they had spun a full set of bed furnishings, and be cause of the time they thus spent at the spinning wheels, were called "spinsters?" Did you know that in the olden days a baker who gave short weight had awful things happen to him, and consequently when called upon for a dozen rolls he put in an extra one to be on the safe side? , Thus, the phrase "baker's' dozen" was origi nated. " And did you know that in primi tive days a nely married man had to wait upon his bride and serve at her table on his wedding day?" Thus, the word "bridegroom" came Into the language The. Craftsman. . Anti-Sunburn. : :, When preparing for ' day of sport on 'the links or tennis court, use talcum powder for! the face and arms instead of the rice or otker face powders.' . Rub cold cream into the face and arms, wiping off well before putting on the powder, as thl. mv hnriv far it. and ore- vents the skin from burning. . Do not wash the face and arms imme- diately after exposure to the hot sun cr the wind. Rub in a good cold cream and let it remain on for about 10 minutes. . Remove it with a bit of . absorbent cotton, then proceed w : ....... " , , our desires. But work must be done at once, steadily, with due regard for time, and routine and the fact that spasmodic effort accomplishes little or nothing while steady grind accomplishes miracles The biz things of life are time and w5rk and home and friendship and sorrow and faith and love. They are the things that will bring happiness, for which we an long. They are the things that mean achievement and fulfillment. In 4he sirrlple duties of home the most natural happiness of human life is to be found. In the friendly relations of everyday lies the in spiration to go on struggling and working. Through inenaship wc learn to forgive and torget and forbear. We find the meaning o loyalty and self-sacrififice. ; We gain the companionship to make the dull est day cheerful.' : ' ' "-Thenx there is sorrow, the uni versal experience which chastens us all and teaches the great lessons oi life. Tenderness and sympathy and understanding are born of it. Pa tience and deep feeling come from it. , It cannot be avoided. But rightly interpreted it is the greatest of life's experiences. Finally we come to taith and the and finds a meanine even where cannot interpret the lesson -rightly alone. Faith means courage, ano decency. It carries with it a sense of obligation. It brings a ray of hope for every, situation. The life which embraces a respect for time, and work and the home ties, a life which cherishes friend ship and endures pain and com passes; belief is fit for the greatest reward of living true love.; American-French Relief Booklovers Miss Patsy Ann Epperson is dele gate of the middle west states' com mittee for the American and French children's league.

Retains Every Economic Advantage. Gives Big Car Performance and Reliability Y The swing of interest to Hght cars, led by champions of the Essex, calls for particular caution. - ' ' Some may think Essex only one of the' finer type, marking a general advance in standards throughout the light carfWd. V ' But thejacts quickly expose that mistake. For the Essex motor is patented. No other can use it. And Essex performance, so en thusiastically admired by all motordom, is the product of that exclusive invention. ' ' All Results of Its ' Patented Motor s Essex has set the greatest official endurance record of 3037 miles in 50 hours. It has never been equalled by any other car, regardless of size or price, a And Essex made the world's 24-hour road record, by travelling 1061 miles over snow covered Iowa country roads. For1 cars of its piston displacement, it has won every official record, from 1 to 50 hours. v It has proved speed such as. only the fleetest of costly cars can rival. . - And in its first year, it set a selling record, , never equalled in motor history. It creates a new standard Of light car capac ity in a totally new type. And it cannot be copied. Do not forget that. No other .can use its motor or the principle which accounts for its superiority. L - v Three Times More Power in the Same Size Motor X That is what the Essex invention ' means. Thf eev times more power need not mean a thrice-better car. But consider how the enor mous power of Essex is derived. That is the important thing. ' " No larger than standard motors that yield .by 18 H. P. at utmost, the Essex delivers 55 H. P. Neither size nor great fuel consumption figure in the high-power of the Essex motor. That is its great advantage over other types. , If, you cannot get immediate delivery of an Essex, consider if its exclusive advantages are not worth waiting for, as against a less wanted , car. The daily production exceeds 125 cars. More than $35,000,000 was paid for the first year's output. - . UV L. SMITH "SJEfiVlCE,-F!R5T" OmaHa, U.G.A. 25CS-5-7 FAHNAM Ct.
