THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1928 HAPPINESS AND WEALTH In all societies man feeds more upon ab- stractions than upon facts. He is most con- tent who finds his kingdom in his mind. Such was the teaching of the days when the right to the pursuit of happiness was writ- ten into the Declaration of Independence, and the doctrine is not yet dead, Yet the tangible and negotiable things are what ap- peal to most people in this age of utility and comfort, There are any number of men and wo- men, both young and old, in whom is hap- pily blended theoretical and practical fac- tors in the securing of happiness, The right to happiness can well be view- ed through the bestowments which have come through an era of prosperity and pro- gress, The ratio of happiness may not be higher than in the past, but it is certainly as high in some people. Despite spectacular crime and pillage, there never was a day of worthier enter- prise with higher awards than exists for the young man who is willing to do one thing-- buckle his best intelligence to honest work, Not all find happiness in the accumulation of money, in increasing their business pro- ~ fits or in acquiring material possessions, It is not uncommon for young men and wo- men of the severely criticized and deprecia- ted jazz age to choose that path in life which gives them the most mental satisfaction though less opportunity to amass a fortune, SPRING Before we speak of spring itself, we wish to say that spring fever, which is going to be quite common during the next month or two, is not explained in the same way by all psychologists and physicians, but without régard to what these learned folks say the people who get it will heartily agree that it is a very real and not exactly an unpleasant thing. Some writers tell us that it is nothing but a lethargic drowsiness, caused by the poisons accumulated during the physical inaction of THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1928 these poisons by taking long walks, breath- ing deeply of the fragant spring air, or start- ing to hoe the garden. There is reason to believe, however, that spring fever is not entirely physical. There is a good deal of the psychic in it, also, It is partly psychic insofar as it is reaction from winter. The contrast between the first warm weather and the cold of winter un- consciously reminds us of the sluggishness of the tropics, home of our prehistoric an- cestors, Or perhaps spring fever is an in- heritance from the times when the cave man, after a long and monotonous winter in his den, strolled out to bask lazily in the warm spring sunlight. Agreeable as the gentle lassitude of spring fever often is, we must not surrender our- selves to it too readily, for there is more work to be done in spring than perhaps in any other season, ' With this warning emphasized, permit us to observe that the delights of spring can- not easily be exaggerated, It is then that sap starts rising in the trees. Grass sprouts green, Plant life buds, Chirping birds pause on their way north. The bear leaves his pit. Timber wolves stop running in packs and mate. That is spring--the sun- rise of a new period of life. The backyard gardener stirs, Farmer whistles in the field, Golf bug smacks his lips, Fisherman goes over his tackle. Small boys swarm with marbles, baseballs, kites. Spring is the time to take a new lease on life, to get a fresh start, Fill your lungs with fresh air and go to it. The best thing about spring is that it is a prelude to another round of intense human activity, Except, of course, for the gentleman who has spring fever 365 days of the year, There are countless tollgates along the road to success. Reform will continue as long as there is money in it for reformers, Bit of Verse MY DAILY CREED Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder To the faults of those about me; Let me praise a little more; Let me be, when I am weary, Just a little bit more cheery; Let me serve a little better Those that I am striving for, Let me be a little braver When temptations bid me waver; Let me strive a little harder To be all that I should be, Let me be a little meeker With my brother that is weaker, Let me think more of my neighbor And a little less of 1 ~. --Anon, Do You Own Your Own SPECIAL Choice Building Lots 4 new five room brick bun- galows.

THE FORD MYSTERY (From the New York Times) Henry Ford furnished Wall St. with plenty of mystery during a greater part of last year, when the new Ford car was being evolved, and a "Ford mystery" of almost equal proportions exists, today. This relates to the present pro- duction situation, , The country was flooded with information con- cerning the new Ford car when it was introduced to the public late last year. At the present time deep silence 1s all that comes from Ford headquarters, and the pub- lic is left to guess at the reasons why the new Ford cars are mot appearing in numbers on the high- ways. At the time of the exhibi- tion of the new models it was sald the new cars would be in large production some timve in January agd that soon thereafter they would be seen in increasing num- bers, The final week of February has airived and gone and the new Ford still is a decided rarity, at least in the Eastern part of the 'country. Whatever lies behind | the situation, the big spring buy- ing season is near at hand, when | at least some sort of showdown ap- pears likely in the race of Ford, General Motors and the independ- ents in the low-price car field. ENGLAND IS STILL FIRST (Philadelphia Publie Ledger) New figures with respect to Am- erican {investments abroad, com- piled by Dr, Max Winkler, a lead- ing authority on the subject, put the total at about $14,600,000,000. If to this sum is added the amount of the war debts, it may be said that the rest of the world is under obligation to the United States to the total of $25,000,000, 000, This inevitably calls for a comparison with England as a lending nation, British foreign in- vestments at their peak reached $18,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,- 000. Upon this basis America takes a considerable lead, But it is doubtful whether even for pur- poses of computation, the war debts should 'he lumped with com- mercial investments. Fu'gphermore, actual returns upon British for- eign investments are at the pres- ent time far above those derived by Americans, even though the debt payments are added, Hence it is doubtful that the United States has caught up with England In foreign investments. A few years will probably see that point reach- ed. But the turn has not yet come. WILL H, HAYS (From the New York Telegram) Many members of the Harding administration including three members of the Cabinet, were re- tired to private life with records that time probably never can cleanse, We would not like to see the name of Will H. Hays added to this unfortunate list, Hays' reputation is that of an honorable man. He has commanded the respect of the country. Yet, in one day spent in Wash- ington last week, to the Senate committee investigating Teapot Dome Hays admitted that he had received a total of $260,000 from Harry F. Sinclair in 1923 with which to help meet the Republican campaign deficit of 1920, Part was a direct gift, part was loan, part was returned later to sinclair, Sin- clair's net financial contribution, however, was $160,000. Four years ago Hays faced this same committee, Then he declared that Sinclair's contribution to the Republican campaign deficit, "or any amount that he would be obli- gated for, or would pay in any event was a maximum of $75,000," Asked---last week--why he gave $75,000 as the total of Sinclair's contribution and did not mention the additional $85,000, Hays re- plied, *I wasn't interrogated on that point." Hays, by this strange course be- fore the Senate committee, has laid the ground for distrust that will trouble hinr all his years, unless he makes haste, voluntarily, to clear away these new suspicions. [-- THE SERVANT PROBLEM (New York Times) One of London's recent dis- patches gave some details of the acute condition of the servant problem, Women may spend whole afternoons "my-dearing" each other over the erratic con- duct of the cook, but men refuse to be upset nnless dinner is actu- ally non-existent, But when many houses are shut and people are demanding flats where seryice is included in the rent, the situation becomes more important, Things have réached this stage in London. Why is this much-discussed mat- ter reflected so little in the Eng- lish books and plays imported to America? English stage servants are as perfect as their masters us- ed to boast the real ones were. The best selling English novels are concerned not at all with the servant problem. Life in after-the- war books does not move smoothly, but it is not because the maid has left. Yet there are a few writers who have caught up with life in this matter, There was the but- WISDOM GIVEN--The Lord giv- eth wisdom; out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understand- ing.--Prov. 2 :6. PRAYER---We bless Thee, Lord, that Thou giveth to all who ask liberally and upbraideth not. --_-- ler in "The Last of Mrs. Chey- ney," whose foibles laid the foun- dation for the whole play. The heroine of E. M. Delafield's new novel, "The Way Things Are," is as much in terror of nurse and cook as of the young man who wants her to run away with him. If Mr. Maugham or Mr. Lonsdale ever writes a play devoted to this new theme, special matinees will be needed to accommodate hosts of maids and mistresses.

FAMILIAR CHANGE (Port Rowan News) The other day a farmer said to us that there were only two families on his concession who were still in possession of the homesteads which they occupied in the days of his youth. The sons left the homes for what they con- sidered more attractive fields, and the fathers grew old and had to sell the farms.

Therefore, when any little irreg- ularity was noted, the examining physician was inclined to reject the candidiate. As these recruits would be subjected to further ex- amination at a later date, it was considered only good sense to re- ject themr at the very beginning, and save them and the country time and money. However, a littie later it was found that if some of these re- cruits were made to run around the examining room two or three times, that the irrgularity disappeared. In others the irregularity be- came even more marked after this exercise. Now, as the running around the room made the heart work harder and faster, made the heart do more i work, it was considered a good test of what the heart would do when subiected to work in actual war- fare. Therefore it was decided to accept those recruits with irregular hearts, where the irregularity dis- appeared during exercise, and to reject those in which the irregular- A joint 'committee of the Pana- ma and Colon Rotarians have sub- mitted to the President of Panama a memorial proposing that the clubs pledge the floating of a loan to finance the cost of making sur- veys relative to the trans-Isthmian highway, ity persisted or increased in in- tensity. Why? Because where the irregularity disappeared during exercise it was considered that some poison in tne | system was just temporarily dis- Iturbing the heart, and if the source in This Paper on Page 7 - ------ moved, the heart would become regular. Accordingly, the search revealed infected teeth and tonsils, in many cases, and also infections from else- where in the body in a few in- stances, Now, the question naturally aris- es as to what to do where the heart is irregular zall the time, and where there is also a source of poison in the system. Is it worth while to bother with a patient whose heart is perma- nently damaged? The answer is "Yes!" Because if you can remove the source of the poison from the sys- tem, this permanently irregular heart, which has likely been carry- ing the individual along for years, will likely continue to do so, if not jof this poison were learned and re- interfered with too much by the poisoning from teeth; tonsils, and so forth.
