SUCH IS LIFE? Proficient! TAKEM REE LESSOMS Erect Shrine to Honor America at Versailles Stairs to Have Steps Marked for Every State. Paris, France. ? On the occasion of the mass pilgrimage of thousands of World war veterans of the Amer ican Legion of France this summer for the dedication of the battle mon uments, a new shrine will be dedi cated at Versailles to honor Franco American co-operation in building world democracy. The site was chosen because of its important historic significance in Franco-American collaboration. It was there that Benjamin Frank lin pleaded for open support by France to the struggling colonies in the American war of independence. It was at Versailles that support and recognition were granted to the new - born American republic and war declared against Great Britain to help Americans carry their movement to victory. And it was here that the Versailles treaty set tled the terms of peace when Ameri ca had come to the aid of the allies. Marble Stairs Designed. Simple but imposing in design, the monument will become a future focal point of Franco-American re BARTELL AND SON Dick Bartell, star infielder of the New York Giants is bending the twig in the way he wants the tree to grow.

It will consist of a mount ing tier of stairs of the same huge width as those at the Palace of Versailles, flanked by forty - eight blocks of marble down which a cascade will flow constantly. Each marble block will represent a state of the Union, whose name will be carved upon it. Fountains will play at the foot and the summit of the long staircase. At the top a statue of Gen. Pershing seated on horse back will face toward Paris and the World war battlefields to the north. A large park will be located behind the statue, part of which will be used as a playing field for the children of Versailles. At the foot of the stairs, at the jUnction of the Avenue de Ver gennes ? the foreign minister during the American Revolution who was responsible for the decision to give material aid to the new republic ? and the Rue de Benjamin Franklin, a big place will be formed. It will be named the Rond-Point des Estats-Unis. Across the square and facing the stairway will be the sta tue of Lafayette, which will be trans ferred from its hidden stand in Paris and incorporated in the new monumental scheme. Pershing Aid Active. The movement for the construc tion of the monument was started by the mayor of Versailles, Henry Haye. Haye is also a French sen ator and was the first officer at tached to Gen. Pershing's staff dur ing the war. He formed part of the military mission to the United States after the declaration of war. Money will be raised throughout France in the form of a celebra tion of America's national holiday, July 4. On that day street collec tions and demonstrations will take place in every town and village and the money will be utilized to com plete the contributions of individ uals, the town of Versailles and other French groups. Tdhs of Dog License Tags Used in New York State Albany, N. Y. ? Four tons of dog licenses and tags are being distrib uted among the city, town and coun ty clerks of New York state by the state dog licensing bureau. Besides tabbing every dog in the state, the bureau also serves as a "missing person" bureau for dog dom. Its success in restoring missing pets to their owners has established an interstate reputation for the bu reau. Recently a pedigreed terrier, found injured in Detroit, was re stored to its owner in Buffalo through the medium of the bureau. One of the ace cases of the bureau concerns a dog found swimming in the Atlantic ocean off the Maine coast. The dog was identified and returned to its New York state own er. Excepting the cities of New York and Buffalo, there are 407,000 tagged and identified dogs in the state. New York and Buffalo license their dogs independently.

WKU Service DELIVERANCE FROM SELF By LEONARD A. BARRETT One of the most difficult personal achievements is to be able to for get one's self. However people may diner in their theological definitions of sin, in essence, sin is selfishness. The cause of much of the world's mis ery and suffering comes from giv ing first consid eration to one's own personal de sires and ambi tions with no thought of the considerations of others. There are circumstances in which we sooner or later may experience "to our bit ter cost the curse of self-obsession." If a man would have friends, he must show himself friendly. Self "JUST A GIGOLO" Edward Blau, age eighty-three, is "just a gigolo," he admitted to Chi cago police when he was arrested and held on a complaint of Mrs. Elizabeth Stout, of Princeton, N. J., charging Blau with obtaining from her $700 in cash, two diamond rings, worth five hundred dollars, in addition to owing her a $360 board bill. ' At the police station Blau scoffed at the lady's accusations, saying, "Fact is, she gave the money and jewels because she wanted to be petted and I petted her." obsession drives people from us rather than attracts them to us. One may become so absorbed in his own interests that he is calloused to the most urgent human appeals. Com plete self-absorption kills the finer impulses and destroys both peace of mind and happiness. "If happi ness have not her seat and cen ter in the breast, we may be wise or rich or great, but never can be blessed." Nervous breakdowns and mental aberrations are frequently due to that state of introversion which re sults in self-pity and depression. Psy chology informs us that this is one of the most difficult mental ailments to cure. Not only does self-absorp tion work havoc with our psychic centers, but it also seriously af fects our characters. Self-compla cency makes a man so satisfied with himself and his own righteousness that he becomes oblivious to his own faults. And we all have our faults as well as our virtues. Self-right eousness confesses no wrong and therefore, seeks no forgiveness and gives none. Egotism, another form of self-ob session, makes one exaggerate his abilities and eliminate from the process of serious sef-correction his faults. The egotist is insensible to the world's need for full use of all his talents. A celebrated author would never permit one of his books to rest on his library shelves lest it make him self-satisfied with his present achievements. The egotist talks much about his good and great deeds, tbe hard tasks be has completed, tbe hard ships endured, the victories wan. Until people will cease being ab sorbed In self, there Is the need of deliverance from self. But how are we to be deivered from selfT That is the question. We are so much a part of ourselves, it is really a difficult matter to put self into one compartment of being that becomes, as it were, the clearing house of all that pertains to self appraisal and self-progress. One of the surest ways to forget self is to serve others.

SHOULDER BOUQUET Spring flowers bring that uplift ol the spirit which every woman ex periences with the turn of the sea son, and spring brings an array ot lovely blooms with pale tints and soft shades that are flattering on al most any outfit. The golden free sias forming a pale yellow ring around a cut bloom of pink car nation is especially fitting for a shoulder bouquet, as illustrated. Naming Chagrin River Moses Cleaveland and his party of surveyors were looking for a river known as the Cuyahoga on their trip to the Reserve, says the Cleve land Plain Dealer. Seeing the mouth of what they thought to be the Cuya hoga, they sailed in. Upon learning their mistake (so the story goes), they named the river Chagrin.
