It's a complicated problem--so com- plicated that when it injected itself into the human relations of a co-operative at 548-606 Michigan avenue, Evanston, it required no less an arbitrator than Mayor Bartlett. Mayor Bartlett accepted the respon- sibility, but at the time of the last ull- etin from Evanston there was no solu- tion yet. ications With Milkmen Fred Hartman, the first janitor, who wants to know if he's fired, still sat tight. Ladies and gentlemen co-op- erating in the ownership of the build- ing were biting their finger nails. And milk-wagon drivers in sympathy with the ousted, or unousted, janitor, refused to deliver milk to any tenants except those with babics. This was a source of much exercise for housewives, who shovelled paths through the snow, so they could enter into backyard nego- tiations with the milkmen. W. Howard Stewart, a salesman, was impersonating a janitor trying in the meanwhile to remember his role as co- operative owner of the building long enough to tell himself to go easy with the coal. / Their Little April Fool Joke "There, was no fire at all in honor of April Fools' day," Mr. Stewart explain- ed, "Mr. Hartinan, our non-working and apparently non-freezing janitor, had been keeping up the fires and do- ing little else about the building--thus giving us the impression that we had a regular janitor. He kept up the fire because he had to do so in order to heat hus own flat. Thursday he didn't even bother to do that and there are 24 families--men women and children --in these flats."

Major League 'Veterans After 1926 Pennants Two of the Big League Pilots Start Season i Century Class ' (By Associated Press) New York, April 12~Two big league pilots start the 1920 season in the quarter-century class, each with high hopes of a pennant trinmph, Connie Mack, tall tutor of the Phila- delphia Athletics,' narrowly missed a championship last season, his twenty- fifth as a manager, His National League rival, John MeGraw, of the Giants alsa occupied secorid place in 1925, after a string of four straight pen- J nants, but he aims to crown his twenty- fifth year of leadership this season by nailing another flag to the mast, These two veterans have no rivals in length of managerial service among present-day pilots, Mack has handled the rcins of the Athletics ever since they joined the American League. Mec. Graw, since 1902, has lifted the New York National League club to a posi- tion more consistently dominant than that of any club in either league. Ten pennants have been aatherd by Me- Graw's men in this period. J Not since 1913 have McGraw and Mack matched wits in a world's ser- ies struggle. It would be an epic ai- fair if the fortunes of conflict should bring them together again next Fall in the diamond classic In their three previous clashes, Mack was victorious twice, in 1911 and 1913, while McGraw carried off the laurels in 1905 with the aid of the magnificent pitching of Christy Mathewson. The ranks of 1926 managers show only one newcomer, Joe MeCarthy, erstwhile Louisville pilot, who has been entrusted with the fortunes of the Chi- cago Cubs, Rogers Hornsby, slugger-leader of the St. Louis Cardinals, will be starting his first full season at the heln, but he showed his ability in the latter part of the 1925: race after succeeding Branch.

You can make it your business al- so to fill your time so full that you won't have any time left to use in self-pity or envy, or useless yearn- ing after greater field to conquer, And when life looks drab and weary, either work harder or keen away from people who are doing brighter, more entertaining things-- they're bad for the morale at such a time, If you can just keep from feeling sorry for yourself for just a little while, some unexpectedness - will come along to change your state of mind, give you a brighter outlook and make you forget to pity your- self, Then, by the time you get back you will wonder what all the moan- ing was about. ki Sometimes when you see your friends doing interesting things that you'd like to do, you let yourself feel all abused because you have to ilve a different kind of life, Their lives seem to be so full of the excitement and entertainment that you'd like to have, They seem to be so much more capable and clever than you ware, And you feel it's just because they have the opportunity--that you'd be just as bright as they were, if you could just have the chance to do it, But you have a routine that must be followed; you have a humdrum existence that has to be lived. And sometimes you do get go dreadfully sorry for yourself about it, It all starts with envy, You do wish you "were 'like these others-- wish you had their lives and their opportunity to do what they can do so well, and what, in your opinion, you could do so much better than they if you just got at it, Then it goes on to self-pity and settles down into that deep greove from which there is such difficult rising. i And it's all unnecessary. It's all perfectly silly and wrong. For, no matter, how sad it all is, it's a fact; it exists and that's all there is to it. The only thing to do is to accept it and try to make life livable in spite of it. As a matter of fact, there's usual- ly nothing sad-ahout it anyhow. There aren't so many people in the world who have heen forced to an existence that is entirely unpleas- ing to them, . They may have hated it at the start because they thought it would be smart or fashionable or clever, but most of them have gradually hecome reconciled and satisfied. It's just that there are times in every life when it seems utterly un- bearable, Everything gets tiresome once in a while, even the most enjoyable things.
