Where to Find Happiness By DOUGLAS MALLOCH HKRH to find happiness? Of what are you speaking? The less you find happiness The more you go seeking, the wanderer Will find where he chooses; For often the wanderer, While seeking it, loses. Inhere to find happiness? 1 But few ever reap it. For they who find happiness i Just have it and keep it Never the querulous Will ever achieve it. For seldom the querulous Who have It believe it Many have happiness, Yes, have it not knowing, And so, to find happiness, Where are you going? 'it may be near to you, If you but mind it. 80 look for It near to you, And there you will find It.

BURGESS JOHNNY CHUCK DISCOVERS A GREAT TRUTH Whoever'g honest with himself With others will be honest too. Remember this where'er you go And whatsoever you may do. HEN Johnny Chuck reached home he was so tired for a while he even forgot that he was hungry. You know It was a long way from the other side of the Old Orchard that far corner for one so fat and stiff and sore Johnny Chuck. At first Polly Chuck would have nothing to do with him.

But when after a nap came out to get something to eat she saw how stiff and lame he was and she saw how he had been torn by the teeth of Ancient Temple Comes to Light Reddy Fox. She had heard all about that fight from Sammy Jay and down deep In her heart she was proud of Johnny Chuck. Now as she saw his wounds she was pity. Very softly' she sidled up to Johnny and A TEMPLE of Imperial days comes to light In modern Rome, showing columns and walls of the Temple of Venus in the forum which are now being cleared of th dehrls of th-- ages.

gently licked his wounds. She didn't say a word, just licked and licked, oh so tenderly. With every touch of her tongue, Johnny Chuck felt his anger because she had refused to go away with'him melt away. At last there wasn't a bit left Never had clover tasted so sweet and delicious. Never had the rustle of leaves in the trees sounded so pleasant.

Never had the sky looked so blue or the fleecy clouds so white. Johnny sighed. It was a sigh of happiness and contentment. "I'm glad I'm home," he said. "So am replied Polly softly.

"Home is the very best place In all the Great World;" continued Johnny Chuck. "Of course," replied Polly. "I've known that ever since we've had a home." "And this home of ours is the safest and best home that ever was," said Johnny. "I wouldn't trade it for any other home anywhere in all the Great World." Chuck smiled wisely, but she said nothing and after a minute or two, Johnny continued, "You mustn't believe, my dear, all that Is told you of the wonderful things of the Great World," said he. "It has nothing, nothing at alT to equal the peace' and comfort and safety of our own home here." Once sighed and as before it was a sigh of pure happiness.

He had made a great discovery. He had discovered 'that the secret of happiness is contentment, and that contentment Is to be found within, and not without one's self. So despite his stiffness and lameness and soreness. Johnny Chuck was happy, and being 'happy, there was no room for bad temper. Suddenly it came over him that he was glad that Polly Chuck had refused to go away with him when he had insisted on looking for a hew home, and' he 'told her so.

Polly made no reply, but went right BAIL CCT LIFT COOT KEUPS RECOVGlt WATCH POSITION OF BALL IN DRIVING FTEN considerable trouble IB occasioned by beginners in golf with the driver. Its straight face demands a powerful and accurate blow to send the ball on its proper path. With the brassie and spoon and their greater loft there is a better chance of hitting the ball satisfactorily for even should a slight error occur -at impact the angle of the clubface Is likely minimize It and the result be reasonably fair. With'the driver, however, the ball must be hit accurately for anything like a satisfying shot. For this reason It is advisable to tee the ball well In front on the drives.

Few' golfers can drive well unless the ball Is placed forward so that the golfer's body Is greatly behind it. This gives the clubhead a chance to come onto the ball in a straight line. If teed back toward the right foot there is every chance that the clubhead will be hooded at impact, 1. the face of the clubhead pointing toward the ground. With the more lofted woods, the angle of the club- face would counteract this mistake somewhat so that It would not likely be disastrous.

Yet no one could drive consistently well under such a condition with the driver. If your tee shots are poor, look to your stance and see where the ball Is located at address. Placing the ball Just a bit further ahead will often do wonders for your game. ffl. 1933.

IPAPA KNCWS-I "Pop, what is a knick knack?" "A pollywumpus." 1933, Bell Service. An Afternoon Frock National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckaft Roosevelt is seeing the start of a great national project that is for Rootevelt't him the realization Dream of a dream he has nursed for years. His Ideas for reforestation of Idle lands have been enacted into law that lumber requirements of future years may be met Thousands of men are being drawn from the ranks of the unemployed In a score of cities and are receiving their training that they as the Civilian Conservation corps may go Into designated areas to replant the forests that have been devastated by the ever-encroaching hands of Industry. Mr.

Roosevelt looks upon the program that may cost as much as $300,000,000 aa work that Is made with a definite purpose and a definite value to the country. It is possible to employ 250,000 men under the terms of the blanket the President by congress. Each man will be paid one dollar a day and his Is under disciplinary supervision of-the army and Is fed and clothed on the same basis as the' military man. The theory is that he can send most of his pay back to his family, thus relieving local charity of that charge. In purpose, the reforestation movement Is broader than Just the plant- Ing of new trees; It is to be a scientific job in that engineers will consider the areas to be forested with a view to prevention of floods and fpr the checking of soil erosion or washing, and for the utilization, of lands the value of which for crops 1's doubted.

The several therefore, constitute a gigantic move for conservation of resources of a national character, and the program as a whole bears'the stamp of a relief measure for destitute citizens. The President Is under no Illusions about the project In chats with newspaper correspondents he has made it clear that he realizes the total of unemployed to be given work is only a drop In the bucket. But he contends even that number gainfully employed will have some effect on the general situation and that they are doing a useful work. Advocates of conservation of national resources agree that work Is yet many others there Is a doubt as to the wisdom of expending funds In this way. In this connection, some of the ar gument used In debate on the legislation may show the trend of thought.

It was declared, for example, that an outstanding weakness of the plan, from an unemployment standpoint, is the full time use of a limited number rather than a part time or half time use of double the number, accomplishing a distribution of the work. Such a result obviously could not be had if the work was in the forests and the workers away from home without attendant expenses of food and clothing for the larger number. Hence, It was argued that work should have been made In the home communities of the men. And the further question was asked whether this type of work was worth the price, since it constituted a burden upon the present taxpayers f6r production of a future asset.

1933, by T. W. Service. Detachable Capelets on Latest Wraps for Spring designers are again coming forward with a wealth of new ideas in collars. While the furless coat IB placed.

In the position of volume leader, fur-trimmed models are much worn, the detachable fur playing an even more important role, this' year than last. Since the coat silhouette advanced for spring Is decidedly more modified, getting away from the top-heavy contours of the. fall, It Is natural that fur trimmings should enhance this feeling. Considerable complaint has reached Washington about the methods em- pjoyed In recruiting Recruiting the men for service tne forestatton work. Officials charged with supervision of the work, say, however, that objections and crit- fclsms are to be expected and that their instructions to the recruiting agencies naturally must leave some discretionary powers to the subordinates.

In addition to the "red tape" so usual In government affairs and not lacking in administration of the for- estatlon reports here lndl cate a tendency on the part of some recruiting officers to be dictatorial and to refuse to co-operate with local, charitable institutions. Corps headquarters here denies that local charitable agencies have not been consulted BO' that the most deserving Individuals may get chance to join the civilian service If they desire. At any rate, the picture of the great for restoring the country's forests and providing work at the Bame time holds forth Indications of trouble. In fairness, It ought to be said, according to general opinion here, that Mr. Roosevelt has promoted a scheme of exceedingly high purpose but that It.

la of the character that permits extreme abuse exactly as do so many Idealistic plans. I have heard some of the President's supporters In congress express fear concerning the eventual reaction of the country to the plan. That of course. Is political phase, but It nevertheless points out one of the possibilities. A few years ago, It was quite the thing to Issue bonds to pay for public 1 rovementis.

Bondt and States, counties, EmptyTreaiuriet cities, school districts, road districts, levee districts, drainage source an accurate figure as to the total amount of such bonds, but without doubt they fun Into a good many billions of dollars. But now, the day of reckoning Is at hand. Bonds must be paid off and retired by many communities, or If the principal is not due, la yet the Interest to be met And the treasuries are empty) So it was only natural that the theory of scaling down those be examined and In consequence of this, Representative Wilcox, of Florida, has Introduced in the house a bill providing for any subdivision of government to declare Itself bankrupt and ask the bankruptcy court to help It arrange a composition with Its creditors. There Is, of course, nothing new or radical about that bill. It pre 5 Bents the only way out, both for' the communities sold the bonds during Its wild spending, and for the investors who acquired the bonds.

In the case of the community which bonded itself, the. bankruptcy court presents a way by which a part of the debts can be paid and the city's finances, or whatever subdivision It may be, can be arranged to meet new conditions. In the case of the bondholder, It Is either go along with the community in a co-operative spirit, sharcTpart of the loss and provide a chance for the deb tor'to pay out, or see the whole Investment go up In thin air. With reference to the Wllcox bill, I was told by a representative whose district lies within Might Hurt the city of New City't Credit ork tnat enactment of such legislation would damage the credit of that great city. People would fear that its bonds also, would become worthless or that they would have to accept a proposal for composition of all claims, each creditor taking a proportionate share.

My answer was that any person hold- Ing a bond of a city or county or road district school district or what, not cannot possibly be so blind as to avoid' seeing the true facts. If the city of New York can meet Its obligations, it has nothing to fear; If It cannot dp so. why should it try to the' people? I mention New York as an example, and because there are a score of other cities in the same situation. They are not Insolvent as long as the people can pay the taxes laid-upon them. People are not paying taxes, however, because they cannot do so, In many scores of localities.

So a thorough study of the entire situation w.ould seem to force the conclusion that some legislation such as the Wilcox bill is inevitable. Creditors must take half a loaf as better than no bread at all. The Wilcox bill proposes that when a community is in default on its bonds, it may seek the aid of the federal court and negotiate an adjustment which, If It be acceptable to three-fourths of the creditors, calculated, on the amount of the claims or bonds they hold, the other one-fourth becomes bound by the court decision or affirmation of'the agreement. The bill would compel the taxing dlctrict to make preparation in advance for raising revenue to pay off the revised debt so that there could be some assurance of final settlement But the Wllcox bill Is having Its troubles in getting onto the greased runways of' favored legislation. Despite the fact that the theory of It is precisely the same as the Roosevelt theory about.scaling down debts owed by, farmers and by owners of homes In town, there has been no nod of Instruction from the White House thus far to put the through.

It Is a condition that how has affected more than 300 communities, and May and June will see enormous additions to that total for in those months there are numerous bopd Issues on which either the Interest or, principal mature, and the Issuing communities are without funds to meet the obligations.

There are communities In 41 states: right now where bond are In default, and this appalling condition shows no signs of 'abatement Truly, the politicians who campaigned for such things and who claimed to be promoting great improvements for the common good are no longer In a'position to serve their communities. From pure curiosity, I examined some of the statistics for half a dozen or more communities whose bonds are In default, and they showed the amazing result of total bond Issues In one or two Instances that were as great as the appraised value of the property In the whole community. Theoretically, you know, at. bond Issue of that type constitutes a first like factories, residences and other property of. the 1 1.
