Powers acd Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago. = MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1928 LIVING MORE INTENSELY The tempo of life rises and the nervous tension of people tightens with the increas- ing velocity of production, business and liv- ing, Modern devices to hurry up the body, intensify the emotions and accelerate - the mind have come into general use, Business works a network of telephone and telegraph wires, Automatic bookkeeping machines, typewriters and card indexes enable indi- viduals to control vast areas of industrial operation, involving billions of dollars, Ev- en in the home and on the farm electrifica~ tion and the gasoline motor have quickened the pace. Emotionally the nation is ever under high pressure, The motion picture compresses in- to two hours the whole range of human ad- venture and excitement for thousands, The radio is concentrating millions on one thought and at one time. Huge stadiums throughout the country gather with ease and safety crowds numbered in many thousands, permitting them to enjoy the magnetic thrill of concentrated mass emo- tion, All this speed and size is an accepted part of the atmosphere of the city, It causes people unconsciously to quicken their pace and to feel themselves part of a huge con-. federation of success, Is it any wonder that "high-voltage" temperaments are becoming so common? What more logical fruit for a "high-voltage" age to bear? THE OPTIMIST One of the encouraging evidences of the sanity of the public mind is the growing im- patience with so-callell "Pollyannaism." Gen- uine optimism does not consist in disregard- .ing the unpleasant parts of life, Neither is it a thoughtless satisfaction with present condi- tions without thought of the future, Still less is it that state of mind that distinguish ed Mr, Micawber, who was always "waiting for something to turn up." Antecedent to a justifiable attitude ~f op- timism must be an unprejudiced and thor- ough analysis of the situation; in which both dark and bright sides must be equally clear; then a profound conviction, based on the evidence of history and personal experi- ence, of the slow but irresistible conquest of right over wrong, of truth over falsehood, not yet fulfilled, but eternally fulfilling, But no one who has merely a passive faith in the rightness of things is entitled to the name of optimist. His belief must be quick- ened into action, and here the pragmatic modern attitude manifests its sensible de- mands for consistent living. The old pro- verb, "All things come to him who waits," has received a characteristically modern supplement, "But it comes a whole lot quick- er if he goes after it." LOYALTY Most persons who are happy have in them those elements of steadfastness and convie- tion to which applied loyalty gives visible form. It is, indeed, difficult to conceive of pny continuous pleasure in an existence not motivated and spiritualized by unwavering allegiance to certain fundamental tenets of established truth, But loyalty to the general, the abstract proposition, is likely to be vef- fective--probably as an influence upon one's self and most certainly as an influence upon others--unless it is visualized-in loyalty to the concrete issue, the definite instituticn, the living person. Every man, perhaps, is conscious of a de sire to be loyal to his God, but it is only when he translates that fidelity into a loyalty to his church that his purpose has meaning. Every man, too, desires to be loyal tc ais country, but it is only when that wish is translated into vigorous, militant loyalty tc the responsible agencies of government that his loyalty is worth while. For the man who is discouraged, ¢ Whe hearted by the rush of events, oppressed by . THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1928 petty failures, there is no stimula. iQ compelling power of an intensive loya.., . -et the man who is not making good in his work dedicate himself to a new sense of a. _.ance to those with whom and for whom he lav :rs, Qut of vigorous loyalty to his fellow work- ers and his employer will come the spirit of which success is forged, Let the uu. © life seems dull and sordid find a loyai.,--a loyalty to his home, perhaps, to his city, to his college, to his church--and life will be transformed for him as the gleam of purpose dispels the clouds of cynicism and mistrust. Out of loyalty to others will come that great- er loyalty to self that transmutes a person into a personality, a slave into a servant, and a human into a man, Let us attain to a loyalty and hold fast to it. DREAM AND SUCCEED Dreams are made of star dust, we are told, but a better recipe is suggestion and imagination, Those who can look at a brick and see a castle are builders of a bigger and better world. To be serviceable an imagination must be exercised, Do you want a suggestion? Look about you; a weed becomes an industry, If you want more encouragement turn to the classified advertisements and there you will find an ever changing department store full of them, The business manager advises you to read classified advertisements when you want a job, an automobile or a candlestick, but these things are all at the main entrance of the store, Visit the bargain basement and the upper floors where great treasures are stored;; uncensored news of human activi- ties, relative values in parallel columns, heart-throbs and character studies to edu- cate and entertain, Best of all, however, is the stuff that keeps dreams alive. There are only three kinds of dreams; those that are forgotten, those that never "change and those that come true. Mount your wishes on thought and effort and they will ride to realization, EDITORIAL NOTES Sinks are basins in which dirty dishes are left until morning, Health hint: No exercise is as healthy as exercising discretion, The man who blows his own horn never knows what it sounds like, Back porches are places where tools bor- rowed from neighbors are kept, and kept, and kept, You can hold a private conversation in public if you speak some foreign tongue or perfect English, About the only special privilege the "up- per class" has is that of kicking dust in the face of slower cars, Bit of Verse PATIENCE WITH LOVE They are such little feet, They have gone such a tiny way to meet The years which are required to break Their steps to evenness, and make Them go More sure and slow, They are such little hands; Be kind. Things are so new and Life but stands A step beyond the doorway. All around New day has found Such tempting things to shine upon, and so The hands are tempted hard, you know, They are such new, young lives, Surely their newness shrives Them well of many sins. They see so much That, being immortal, they would touch; If they would reach We would not chide, but teach Lrhey are such fond, dear eyes, That widen to surprise At every turn; they are so often held Lo sun or showers--showers soon dispelled By looking in our face-- Love asks for such, much grace. They are such fair, frail gifts; Uncertain as the rifts oh Of light that lie along the sky-- they may not be here by and by-- Giving them not love, but more--above And harder--patience with love. --George Klingle. What Others Say (LIFE) Osculation is the sincerest form of flappery. HAIR TRIGGER (Lite) "Women use more powder tham en." "Yes, and they're better shots." WARNING (New York Hgrald-Tribune) If the crooks ever organize into a party let the politicians look out. GNOT IF WE GNOW IT (Punch) "The Gnu in Danger of Extinc- tion," says a head line. Shall this popular little crossword animal disappear? Gno, gunever! SPATS USEFUL (Kansas City Star) Spats are also useful when there are holes in the heels of one's hose ---which may be another reason for their increasing popularity. FADING CLAMOR (Tid-Bits, London) A cynic recently said of his wife: "At the end of the evening she was so tired she could hardly keep her mouth open." OUT OF STEP WITH HER (Lethbridge Herald) To read Miss Agnes MacPhail's speech on the budget one would believe that Agnes thinks every. body in the House is out of step but herself. ONE DRAWBACK (Border Cities Star) Being a Canadian has its draw- backs For instance if those two Manitoba fliers who were rescued after floating around on the ice for twelve days had been Americans they could have'gone on a lecture tour A KITCHENER CYNIC (Kitchener Record) A Kitchener man returning from Toronto yesterday reports three brides in the chair-car, One was asleep, another was crying and the third was wondering if mother was lonesome Ain't love grand? AHA! A FIND (Woodstock Sentinel-Review) Some time ago, Mussolini made the assertion that his successor had not yet been born It is quite evident that the dictator of Italy has never heard of the chairman of the Woodstock Police Commis sion, A PAIR OF SOLOMONS (Detroit Free Press) "Men do not marry girls be- cause of their boyish figures but in spite of them." Houston Post- Dispatch. And that is no mere joke, girls. Plumpness may he a handicap in an ordinary race, but in the race to the altar it's a dis- tinct asset, EMPIRE DEFENCE (W. H. Gardiner in Harper's New York) As the British have strategically placed bases in many parts of the world, they can use effectively smaller vessels of comparatively short steaming radius, But as the United States has few such bases, American ships must have longer radius because they have to cross the ocean in order to reach areas in which they may then have to operate far from any repair facili- ties, BURIAL IN THE ABBEY (London Mercury) Very few people know who is buried in the Abbey. We know definitely that certain persons are not; it 4s very much more difficult to remember who is. What is al- most everybody's graveyard is no- body's graveyard; there is that vast tumble of monuments, great monuments for little people, little tablets for great people, sur- prising inclusions, unexpected ex- clusions, strewn higgledy-piggledy around the dark spaces of a Gothic church; it defeats memory and be- wilders the imagination. GET EXPERT ADVICE (Chatham News) The farmer who decides to go into the tobacco growing industry would be well advised to secure expert technical advice upon the character of his land before deeid- ing which type he will grow. We have in Ontario an agricultural college which is famed throughout the world for its efficiency, and soi] testing and analyzing is one of the specialties carried on in that the specialties carried on in that institution. If any grower is in doubt concerning the type of tobac- co he shouid grow, he can have his soil tested and can-receive the advice of experts to enable him to plant the most profitable crop, and thereby get the biggest return for his labors. MOND AND POTASH (From the London Letter) Sir Alfred Mond's tour in the East is in connection with the Palestine potash concession se- cured by the Imperial Chemical In- dustries, Ltd. It is not generally known that there was keen com- petition for this concession among British and American interests, for the mineral deposits lying in the CHRIST FOR ALL~ALL FOR CHMSY March 11, 1928 FATHERS AND MOTHERS TEACHING--My son, hear the in- struction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.--FProv. 2 ZB. ?

The chief competi- tor of Imperial Chemical Indus- tries was a syndicate which includ- ed two British general officers on its directorate, but whose techni- cal advisers were American and German. Up to the present there has been a Franco-German mon- opoly of potash, the all-important ingredient of agricultural manure, and if expectations are realized the production of potash from the Dead Sea deposits should break this, and at the same time reduce the price by 50 per cemt. "MA" FERGUSON FORGOTTEN (From the Hartford Courant) "How soom are we forgotten when we are gone," said Rip Van Winkle in tones of sadness when he returned from his twenty years' sleep and found himself an un- known. Ex-Governor Miriam A. Ferguson of Texas has been out of office only a short time, bug Texas seems to have forgotten her. We hear mention of her successor, Governor Dan Moody, for the fav- orite son role in the Democratic national convention. Another pos- sibility is Jesse James, who recent- ly qualified as the "angel" of the party. Is there no one to do hon- or to "Ma" Ferguson by suggest- ing that she be the Texas favorite daughter at Houston? What woman--or man for that matter--ever did more to reduce | the jail population that Mrs. Fer- guson? Is there no gratitude on the part of those who were liberat- ed? They seem to have nothing to say. Perhaps they are all wicked Republicans. THE BRITISH IN EGYPT ( From Toronto Mail and Empire) Trouble has risen in Egypt over the proposed new treaty with Great Britain. The correspondence has not been made public, but it is believed that one of the points to which Egypt objects is the maintenance of a British garrison for the protection of the Suez Canal. When the British Govern- ment in 1922 declared Egypt an independent state it was agreed that Great Britain would guaran- tee its integrity against outside aggression, in return for which Egypt was to recognize Great Bri- tain's privileged position in the valley of the Nile, It was 'also agreed that Great Britain was to maintain a garrison only in the canal zone and that Egypt was to have contro] of her foreign affairs provided she did not make treaties at variance with British policy, In the following year a new consti- tution was drawn up providing for a reformed electoral systenr, in- cluding Cabinet responsibility to Parliament, Thus a democratic was substituted for an autocratic government. Events since then indicate that the people are not yet ready for a democracy and that their lead- ers do not appreciate the liberties which they enjoy. Out of a popu- lation of 14,000,000, over 12, 000,000 are. Egyptians known in the rural districts as fellaheen from a word meaning ploughman or tiller of the soil. There can he no doubt that the fellaheen re- joice in their emancipation from their taskmasters of old, It is the student or upper class for whom a little learning has become a dangerous thing. Soviet emissaries have been at work among them to turn them against their British benefactors. Zaglou] the old Na- tionalist leader, is dead, but his influence is still apparent. His followers have heard of negotia- tions in Europe looking toward disarmament, and think it is an opportune time to get rid of the British. redcoat. But they may as well make up their minds that the British garrison will remain to guard the Suez Canal and the route to India, The British Government has treated agitators from time to time with singular forbearance, When Sir Lee Stack, Governor- General of the Sudan and Sirdar of the Egyptian army, was assas- sinated in Cairo on November 19, 1924, Great Britain might have de- stroyed Egypt's independence, but was content to impose a fine of £500,000 for the outrage. We would like to see Egypt develop into an enlightened and strong modern state, but Great Britain has too much at stake to give up her guardianship. of the Suez Canal. Crisp Comment A cullpary periodical says nuts are most delightful when pickled in alcohol. We know some who are far from delightful. -- Ottawa Journal. "Cow-milk cake." What is it? It is what we saw a Chinaman call butter. Not a bad name, --Kingston Whig-Standard. A motoring journal suggests that the radiator should be more artistic. After all, it is often the first thing about a car that strikes you.--Montreal Star. Farmers in this district are looking hopefully for some solid winter weather to protect the crops.--St. Mary's Journal-Argus. They want to keep Col. Lind- bergh from flying in the United States. But he will continue to pedestsrian.-- St. Catharines Stan- dard. A contemporary announced that next Sunday the pulpit of one of the local churches will "be filled by Rev. Mr. Stout." But why rub it in?--Brantford Expositor. FAMILY PHYSICIAN A PSYCHO ANALYST (By Jas. W. Barton, M.D.) (Copyright) You are reading every day of the wonderful work our merve special- ists are doing in what is called psy- cho-analysis. As you knew somewhere in the patient's make up 1s something that is upsetting his mental bal- ance, and making him unfit to do his best in his work, in his home, or in his daily contact with other people. 3 . And so the psycho-analyst, after a few consultations, is usually able to locate the matter that is caus- ing the mental disturbance, often something that occurred in child- hood, and by drawing it out into the light, and showing the patient that it is not an unusual thing in any way, he gets the patient to get the same viewpoint, and the trouble is corrected. I often think that the family phy- sician of former days was a great psycho-analyst, and if there were more of the old time all round fam- ily physicians there would be less need for the psycho-analyst, Why? Because the family doctor knew the members of the household, knew them from birth, knew prac- tically everything that went on in that household. Further, what he did not know he was soon told by some member of the family, Why? Because the family trusted him and he became practically the ad- viser of the household. And the psycho-analyst tells us that it is often teh first meeting with the patient tha enables him to get his confidence, and while it may take two or three consulta- tions before he has really learned the trouble, nevertheless it is be- cause the patient trusts him that he gets results, If he. cannot get the patient's confidence he can't get results, My point of view, then, is that if the family physician, when he gets a case where he suspects some men- tal disturbance is affecting some organ or organs of the body, in- stead of handing the patient over to the nerve specialist immediate- ly, would endeavor to try and right the matter in the patient's mind, he would save the palient and his family a lot of time, worry, and money. > GIRLS ABHOR BLONDE MEN Chicago, March 11, -- Gentlemen may prefer blondes, but the girls are different and blue-eyed blonde men are out of it, They might as well resign themselves to bachelor- hood, Even leap year won't help then much. Fate has decreed the chances of blonde men being a favorite with the fair sex at 9 to 1 in competition with brown-eyed bru- nettes. Those who are short and fat are in positive danger for no girl wants them, This information comes direct from headquarters. Young misses of 16 and 17, who know their minds, have. spoken the decree. They represent a eross-sec- tion of femininity typically Ameri- can. The revelation about male blondes and brunettes came out in a questionnaire sent to 'high school students by Rev. Adolph Krahl, who has been making a survey.
