Substantial Help
l'Tlie contribution is a substantial
help and is also equally valuable in
the community interest it has
aroused."
This was the remark of a hospi-
tal official when the. Norwalk
Knights of Columbus turned mei-
toIthe Nurses' Home a donation of
m“
of ,
sun
; 31:702.“ raised through .tlielr
‘ charity ball.
‘ ——-§ !t is hard to say which is the
timer spirit of the two—that spirit
which prompted the Norwalk Kacey!
to:make the gift, or the spirit in
which it was received.
Regardless of creed or belief.
every Norwalk citizen must feel a
commendatory splrlt toward the
Knights of Columbus. for the man-
net in which they planned and
exocuted the Charity Ball. it was
.a noteworthy affair and most cer-
tainly entailed many hours of un-
flagging work on the part of the
committee. .
As to the hospital itself. the rc-
mark of the official is worthy of
' t ; thought. The. ball did do a lot to
\ 1—} amuse community interest in the
‘ l‘ . Nurses’ Home. It made every per-
‘: / ‘ aon Who participated iii the Charity
r Ball feel that he or she. personally
was helping toward the new build-
li'ig. .It made each one feel entitled
to some. interest in the structure and
its work, no matter how small that
.share might be. In other words. it
"sold" the idea of the Nurses Home
to thousands of Norwalkers.
To go a little further with the
idea. one might add that. in return
the ball "sold" the Norwalk Knights
of Columbus to many local people
Any organization that so unselfishly
works. not for its own individual
good. but for the good of a unit
which is of equal benefit to all. de-
serves and will receive wide-spread
admiration.
. It is all a matter of what in term-
! . ed in business. “goodwill." The
Charity Ball won for the Knights of
Columbus such goodwill as could
never have been purchased or
achieved in any other way.

Today’s Poem
LITTLE AND GREAT.
A traveler on a dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and eprouted up.
And grew into a tree.
Love sought its shade at evening-
, time.
To breathe its early vows:
And Age was pleased. in hearts of
noon.
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling
twigs. ’
The birds sweet music bore—
lt stood aglory in its place.
A blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped a well
Where. weary men might turn;
He walled it in. and hung with care
A ladlc at the brink:
He thought not of the deed he did.
But judge that Toll might drink.
He passed again: and lo! the well.
By summer never dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parched
tongues,
And saver] a life beside.
A dreamer dropped twandom
thought:
'Twas old. and yet 'twas new:
A simple fancy of the brain.
But strong in being true.
It shone upon a genial mind.
And lo! its light became
A lamp of life. a beacon ray.
A monitory flame:
The thought was small:
great:
A watch-fire in the hill.
It sheds its radiance for adown,
Add cheers the valley still.
3.
its issue
A nameless man. amid the crowd
That thronged the daily mirt.
Let fall a. word of hope and love.
Unstudled from the heart;—
A whisper on the lilmult. thrown.
A transitory breath—-
it raised a brother from the dust.
it saved a. soul from death. .
O germ! 0 found! 0 word of love!
0 thought at random cast!
Yo were but little: at the first.
But mighty at the. last.

Marriage
(By MICHAEL)
CHAPTER 149.
With his mind made up, Michael
went down to the office that morn-
lng resolved to quit Arthur Man-
ning's company immediately. After
all. he had decided. it wasn't even
the shadow of his father's concern
any mOre. He must not let senti-
ment cause him to waver.
With the letter from the presi-
dent .of the Westminster company
in his packet. ho was a blithesomc
spiri He wore. such an album-
bra g smile to the office that old
Grimeby .the chief clcrk. wondered
if the stork had visited Mcnlow
House.
Was it luck or fate or coinci-
dence that caused Al‘llillf‘ Manning
to call Michael into his other Just
as the latter was preparing to go
in of his own aCcord'.’ "Luck."
Michael would have said.
“Sit down. Michael. I have been
intending to have a talk with you
for several days. but haven't been
able to arrange it."
Michael smiled slightly. Arthur
Manning was always impressing
people with his extreme busyncss.
The president carefully lighted a
cigar. "It seems to be understood
that you are going to leave this
company." 1‘! began.
"Well. you could hardly expect
people to infer anything else from
the stock sale."
Michael detected a liesifancy in
Manning‘s words. What was on the
president's mind? His mind's ones-
tion was answered at that moment:
"What I have to say 'is this: 'I
don't think we can get along with-
out'lyou. Michael. I want you to
stay. If is apparent to fur. even if
it isn't so apparent to others. that
Inglcsby cannot do the work as well
as you are doing it."
Michael protested calmly: “Oh. I
wouldn't say that." A question
jumped into iris head: Did Arthur
Manning know of the offer made by
Westminster? He regarded the
president searchingiy. seeking an
anhWQl‘.
"Well. I must admit I was a. lit~
tic blind to the fact myself. Now.
as I‘sav. I want you to stay. I
want you to get any ideas out. of
your head about starting a. business
of your own."
Michael started a little. and Man-
ning smiled.
"I am “going to propose to the die
rectors that you be given the title
of vice 'presidcnt." he continued.
"And in order for you to have not»
ing power. I am going to return to
you some of your stock at the price
I paid for it."
Michael was annoyed by the pres-
thlng of the kind. I am leaving the
company. Effective the first of the
month."
The president's eyes bulged.
Michael capped the surprise. “I
have u very attractive offer from
the Westminster company. and I
probably will accept it. In any
event. 1 will leave this company the
first of the month."
l\'ow that it was settled. and done.
he was relieved. Why had he wait-
ed all these weeka'.I
Manning surrendered. "Very well.
I hope you reconsider. Think it
over for a few days."
“I have made up my mind def-
initely." was the response.
He had cut the bond. Now he.
stood on his own feet. He was no
longer old Mr. Menlow'a son: he
was Michael Meniow. What did the
future hold?
(To be continued)
Cause. of Most Drovvnlngs.
(From the Reading Tribune.)
Swimming is one of the easiest and
most natural things in the world. If
people could only be persuaded of
this they would learn to swim much
more easily. and become much bet.
ter swimmers. and there would be
fewer drownings.
The greatest obstacle is fear of the
water. When that is lost. the power
to swim coma of itself. The person
who trusts the. water and yields him-
self fo it is swimming safely and ban-
pily before he. knows it. Only—don't
start twisting too soon hipster over
your head. The water is friendly
only when the. bathcr is sensible.
The water is buoyant. The novice
is afraid of sinking. As. long as
there is breath in his lungs. he. is
lighter than water.
But the water will not support
anyone who tries to climb out of it.
The swimmer must always remem-
her to yield himself to the water.
.All possible wright must be beneath
the surface. Since the head is the
heaviest part of the body. as much
of it as possible must be under wa-
ter. Swimming on the back is eas-
iest because in that position the back
of the head is supported. .
Most drowninas of swimmers cum
from cramps. That is nearly always
unnecessary. 1f the swimmer seized
with cramps will only keep his head
and remember that he is no heavier
with cramps than without them. and
take a floating posllton. he will us-
ually find that he ban keep up until
the cramps disappear.
Surely a Dangemns Driver.
(N. Y. Herald Tribune.)
The fact that a chauffeur who was
under bonds for running down and
killing a child was allowed to retain
his license and in a. week killed a
man in much the same way proves
the necessity of sterner measures.

l (Wall Street Journal.)
We all knew the telephone artist.
His bizarre werk is always on the
papers near the instrumint. He
adorns the walls and other wood-
work of the booths. There is thought
for the psychologist or allonlst in
his ideas. He is indiscriminate if
anything and often a; not a valu-
able document has had to be recep-
icd at much expense and time as a
result of long conversation over the
telephone. The head of a. local foun-
dry has found it means to defeat this
habit in himself. It is in the form of
a paper wel‘ght on top of which is a
miniature brass boat propeller which
easily rotates upon being gently tap-
ped. Thus whlle talking over the
telephone. instead of scribbling he
taps the propeller with his pencil
keeping it revolving. This has saved
his help lots of extrswork.

It was the general opinion that a
large percentage of Americans mct
death at the end of a rope. Finally
the hostess turned to the American
and asked:
"You. sir. must have often seen
thcsc affairs?"
"Yes." replied the Yankee. "bun.
dreds of them." .
"Uh. do tell us about a linching
you have seen yourself." broke in
half a dozen voices at once.
"Well. the night before I sailed
for England." said the story teller.
"I was giving a dinnebeat a hotel to
a party of intimate friends when a
colored waiter spilled it plate of
soup over the gown of a lady at
an adjoining table. The gown was
utterly ruined. and the gentlemen
of her party at once seized the
waiter. tied a rope around his neck.
and at a signal from the injured
lady swung him into the air."
“Horrible!" said the hostess with a
shudder. "And did you actually see
this yourself?"
“Well. no." he admitted apologet-
ically. "Just at that moment I hap-
pened to be downstairs killing the
chhf for putting mustard in the

bundled bedding and baby into their

the next morning for Minneapolis for

while ago that a. trip of this extent
would have been distinguished by a
prodigallty of preparation which
now calmly surveyed. must have been
consumed in getting clothes ready.
food enough to feed an army would
have been prepared against possible
privatlon. the Atwaters would not
have slept the night before departure
for very excitement. and their friends
would have been at the station at
gun-up weeping to see? them go. It
was once news to say in the “Eagle"
that Finlay Rose. for illustration. had
gone to Valley Center. It is not
news today to say that he. has gone
to Kansas City. and hardly news if
Chicago be substituted. and a New
York city trip barely gets across the
news line. Just as travelers them-
selves have ceased to be flurrlcd oveii
their trips. so have their neighbors
geenrally ceased to be interested in
one another's coming and goings. A
journey which custom made an event
is no longer one. We. have become a.
completely fluid folk. This State Is

probably come when humanity will
have to feed most of its neighborly
emotions through discovering some
body unexpectedly at home.

Who’s Who
GMBGES TBEL’NIS.
The man who is conceded to be
the most brilliant statesman of his
country is coming to the United
States shortly as head of the Bel-
gium war debt commission.
He is Georges 'I‘heunis. former
premier and finance minister and
the outstanding figure in is coun-
try's national and international po-
litical affairs for many years.
He is coming under the moat fa-
vorable auspices. He stands partl-
cularly high in the regard and good
will of King Albert and is a man
after his Sovcrign‘a heart. loving
simplicity, and intolerant of all pose
and affcctatlon. While retaining
a certain old-fashioned courtesy, he
is direct in his dealings. and in-
spires confidence by his transparent
sincerity. Barely 50 years of age.
be. is a native of Liege and a. son of
that General Theunis Who conduct-
ed the heroic defense of the Belgian
city of Namur during the great war.
With such a parentage. therefore.
it. is not surprising that Georges
Thcunis should have been brought
up to his father's calling and re-
Flrernen's
“Village
ceived his training at the Royal
Military cademy of Brussels. But
the Bel n army in time of peace
did not offer sufficient occupation
to so active-minded a man. and a
few years after obtaining his com-
mission. he resigned it . to devote
himself to finance.
It was not until the invasion of
Belgium in the first days of Aug-
ust. 1914. that crown and nation
made an urgent call for the serv-
ices of a wide-awake business man
possessed of military training of a
lilgh order. and that he was com-
missioned u Colonel and sent off to
England in hot haste for the pur-
pose of securing war supplies for
his government. He reaped his full
measure. of lsurels throughout the
subsequent four years of the inter-
national conflagration. by distin-
guished gallantry iii the trenches
and elsewhere at the front in Flan-
ders. and by his organization of the
difficult task of keeping the Belgian
troops with the sorely needed war
supplies of every kind: also by act-
ing as one of the. principal liaison
officers between tlieaBelgian forces
and their principal commanders on
the one hand and on the other the
French and British generallsslmos
at Versailles and at their headquar~
tors immediately to the rear of the
battlefront. He played an import-
ant though unobstrusivo part at
the Congress of \‘ersaillcsyespecial-
ly in the discussions on the subject
of reparations. then returned to
Brussels to devote himself to build-
ing up afresh his own business in-
terests. taking a. leading part in the
economic and industrial recovery of
Belgium.
It occasioned little or no surprise
when in 1920. the year following
the Congress of Versailles. King
Albert turned to Georges Theunls
and asked him once more to sacri-
fice his own growing business in-
terests in. order to undertake the
administration. indeed the reorgan-
ization. of the entire government.
first as Minister of Finance and
then as Premier.
Three Days Without Moll.
(Hartford Courant.)
What. is the Post Office for? Pro.
sumnbly its purpose is to facilitate
the spread of intelligence. Trains
to carry the mails run every day of
the week; a postal scheme has been
developed'ftnaily so that: we have
general delivery. special delivery
and regular house-to-house delivery.
A“‘correspondent of the New York
Herald Tribune calls attention to
the fact that there is no intelligence
or fairness in the present policy of
tying up all business on a. holiday.
The correspondent says:
Suppose there is a combination
holiday and Sunday (like the 4th and
5th of July this year). A person gets
no mall through the general deliv-
ery or in a rural district from Friday
to Monday. Sunday is about the only
day that the rushing business man or
the poor laboring man has leisure
enough to enjoy reading a letter or
newspaper. . Why should he be de-
harf‘ed' from this privilege? United
States mail should know no day of
rest. the public deserves the mail and
should have it. seven days out of the
week. 365 days out of the year. and
on leap year. 366 days.
The trouble lies. as the Cour-ant
has often said. in the effort to make
the Post Office a source of profit in-
stead of a source of help to the peo-
ple. The Courant does not advocate
adding to the labora of the people
who work in the Post Office. but it
does advocate more help. by which
it would be possible to get mail
every day in the week instead bf
waiting three days for it. This could.
of course. be done. because most of
the mails know no holidays. but
travel with the trains and accumu-
late in the offices.
This is worth thinking of.
