NO 35 Little World Under Hat. The following article written by K S. Martin in "Life" is cop ied from the Lexington Dispatch: There is a little world . which each one of us carries under . his own hat, in which, with good luck and good management, there may be peace. For each one of us that is the most important world. In it may always prevail the high privilege of self-determination. It can be made safe for democra cy or any other form of political government. At a pinch it can be quite disconnected from the mundane world without causing more than passing inconvenience to its ruler and proprietor. J"hat is the really important world, the one best worth taking pains with; the one in which it is profitable that each of us should do most of his living. If this small, individual world is in good order, the troubles of the large, outside world will be to each of us of only secondary concern, but if this little world is serious ly disturbed, the big world may run ever to smoothly and the lit tle world's master will still be un happy. These are times in which, es pecially, it behooves us, each for .himself, to maintain tranquility in the little worlds under our hats and contemplate .the big worlds jolts and gyrations with out too much dismay. For just now the big world gets a new jolt every -day, and the prospect is good that it will continue to be butted, pinched, scratched, im perilled and reviled for years to come. It is not on the way to peace, but only to the door ol peace. The best that can be done for it is to' put it in the way of at taining real peace and regaining material prosperity in the course of a generation or two if it minds its eye and makes wise devices -fend lives frugally and works hard. . For the big world is in the hos pital, and the thing immediately ahead of it is not so much recov ery as convalescence, and a pret ty long one. It is an awfully sick world, and of a temper consistent with serious indisposition. It can't die, and it must get well, but it is an invalid, and is going to be for some time to come. The mass of us are apt to feel that we cannot individually do much to put it to rights. The regulation of it in large matters must be del egated to such experts as the brethren who, wrangle at this writing in Paris over the details of peace, What they may ao is the best that can be done, so far as we can see. In a general way we must back them up rejoicing in whatever they achieve that looks good to us, and having great patience with them wh n the dif ficulties that beset them are too much for their skill. In time they will work out something, and we will accept it for better or worse, and majte the best of it, and use all we can of it in our bus iness. If it is not good enough Xi laugh, it will at least be good - enough to be improved, and. we . ' can work along with it until im provement can be effected, But about the re-regulation of the highly important little worlds under our several hats there need be no delay, nor any waiting on experts. We can put them to rights if we have the will and can discover the way. No rule of the Peace League will forbid us to fortify them against adversity nor. limilurhat armament we may ' contrive to make them safe. Ther was a poet who wrote, "My mind ' to roe a kingdom is," and another -who averred from his hospita , bed, "I. am the captain of my soul " The only j kingdom tha amounts to much nowadays is the kingdom of the mind, and the mastery best worth 'maintaining is still the mastery of one's own soul. The kingdomship of the mind, the mastery of the soul, do not depend on the agreement of nations. It is the. other way a bout. The fate of nations dciend upon individual men and what goes on under their hats. If there are not enough people who are self-governing and self-governed, self-government for nations wont work. The greatest thing in the world is not advertisement, nor organization, nor efficiency, nor sea-power, nor air-power, nor any mechanism from a government to a gun. The greatest thing in the world is a man, and the great est kingdom and the best worth ruling is the one under his hat. , What is the cure for Bolshe vism? . , ' Self -governing under one's hat. What is the cure for capitalism and laborism, and nationalism, and materialism, and jingoism and race antipathy and all the un ruly ambitions and desires that tease and bedevil mankind'?.' The same remedy for all; self government under one's own hat; self-government based on realiza tion that the highest office is to serve, and that the door of happi ness is to serve, and that the door of happiness is love. That is re- igion and patriotism and the oad to true civilization and real progress, belt-control, sou res pect and self-abnegation are the bases of character, human c har acter, that the world must de pend. Get to work, everybody, rTJd make some character. It is not a factory product, nor ever will be. It is made day by day in the ittle world under one's hat. Pensions For Confederates. There is no doubt about the fact that the Confederate soldiers in this country are entitled to a share in the benefits of tho Fed- etal Pension Bureau. Sentiment as'de, the truth remains that they :iave been paying their tributes to the pension fund during all,the days since the war and receiving nothing back. The situation was correctly presented by Congress man Upshaw, of Georgia, when :ie introduced a bill to extend pension benefits' to Confederate veterans or their widows, but the Upshaw movement would have stood a better chance if the meas ure had been introduced by any one of the leading Republican" members he says have assured nini of their support. The trou ble with all previous Confederate pension movements in Congress has been initiative by a Southern member. If the friends of the movement should make up their minus to biue the time when a Northern Republican will rise up to lead the way, then expectant beneficiaries might prick, up their ears in anticipation of some thing going to happen.

The ticking of a watch can be amplified smtil it sounds like breakers on the ocean cliff, ' "It's no trick at all to magnify sound four or live million times, or indefinately," said Tom Lam bert recently. "All that is need ed fs to connect a number of va cuum valves in multiple with a wireless receiving set, and the thing is done. At the first re: ceiving contact a voice will be normal. But in one vacuum valve it is raised seven times; thereaf ter it squares itself seven times seven to forty -nine for the next vacuum valve, and 49 times 49 for the next, and so on. "I mean volume of sound; not power of transmission," explain ed Lambert. In a test recently a phonograph was connected up with an amplifier at midnight, and we were lifting it up grad ually to supply all San Francis co with song and amusement, when the police urged us to de sist. - "In th stadium at Golden Gate Park, the ticking of a watch was made audible all over the grand stand while an athletic meeting was in progress. Captain Robt. W; A. Brewer, an experimenter, moved of 2,000 feet and spoke quietly to his dog, and the dog could not be held. A wireless station which I am not permitted to name, recently received a tele- phon message from Europe, and through its amplifier startled duck hunters in the marshes 8 miles away." Mr. Lambert exhibited one of the vacuum valves. Its exterior resembled an ordinary 10-candle electric light bulb. Through the glass, however, could be seen el ectric winging that was dissimi- ar. Around a filament was wound convolutions of wire called "grid." Above the gird was an encircling metallic plate. The current, it was explained, passed through each in the order des cribed. The in-coming wireless signals travel down the aerial wire to the tuning set and then to the vacuum valve, which is a detector" or receiver. For practical purposes, the vacuum valve has its use, as in warships, where the wireless tel ephone speaks its message thru a horn to several officers, instead of to one using earpieces. It can be availed of to address audien ces. The wireless telephone is won derfully extending the field devel oped by the wireless telegraph. Any wireless telegraph .receiv ing set is equally good for receiv ing, telephone messages. The transmitting instruments, are of course different. Every airplane possessed by Uncle Sain ana all U. b. war ships are equipped with wireless telephone apparatus. These sets on war ships are efficient at least 20 miles. The Real Wealth. At a conference of forest super yisors and timpermen of. North Carolina, Tennessee and Ken tucky at Asheville, the chief for ester gave warning that the sup ply of timber in the United Sta tes is in danger, that unless steps are taken for the conseivation and perpetuation of the forests there will be no supply. In Eu ropean countries a tree is almost sacred. In some of them a permit must be secured before the axe can be used on it. SomeH of their forest ire hundreds o: years old.but are in bettor shape than they ever were; many of them pay handsome profits to the governments. This is not Eu rope and it is not necessary to seek the clerk of court or some other official prior to not sparing the tree, but if wasteful slashing continues long there will be few trees not to spare. There was once a time, when' the frontiers' families journied westward, with the long rifle, the family cow, a few twolsjindseed, when the forests were looked up on as actual liabilities, not assets. They had to be hacked off, burn ed off, and the trees ringed to make way for the crops of the pioneers. Woodland was worth nothing; in the log cabin days luni ber unknown, sawn lumber. There was no necessity to save timber; there was too much of it all around; the burning necessity was to get rid of it, to get some- j where to plant the patoh crops of the settlers. . But with the destruction of the forests going steadily on at an a larming rate the necessity of res toration and perpetuation pre sents itself. There is the dan ger of big industries depending' on timber; with many people de pending" on them, going out of business for lack of material, sometime. The damage from Hoods where the counf ry is shav ed of its woods is apparent to the most superficial. Sooner or later a halt will have to be made; the sooner the better and the less ex pensive. The gospel of thrift is being preached as never before. Thrift to most people means saving mon ey, it Is the only way. they have to practice it. Few dwellers in cities have any natural resources tb husband. When they waste ittle or nothing i and invest the savings in war stamps or become regularly acquainted with the re ceiving teller they have done all they can do. But those who have something to do with the natural resources of the country can ex- ress themselves potently in oth er ways besides money; which is not the real wealth of a nation. They can .save something that money cannot buy ''when it is gone. Crieensooro JNews. ' Looking Backward. Looking backward over the two years that have lapsed since that memorable day, April G, 1917, when President Wilson signed the joint resolution of Congress that formerly aligned America with the nations of the world that were fighting to saye civilization and liberty from becoming a mere memory, it is difficult to conceive that the span has been so brief, Mortal mind finds it difficult to grasp the immensity of the stu pendous events that have trans pired in that brief time, for every day has been filled with glorioux deeds, each worthy a page in his tory; deeds of devotion, of -sacri fice, of duty done; deeds that will grow brighter and more glorious in the perspective of the years: deeds that time will illumine un- until thfey shine with a bright ncs3 unparalleled in all the ages. The wonderful story of Ameri ca's accomplishments since her might was hurled into the breach to stay that onrush of the horde of Huns that spring day 2 years ago is a record of tho achievement of the unparalleled, of the seem ingly impossible, and will form the brightest chapter in the his tory of the world. The names of those men who" by their deeds of sacrifice, of patriotism, and of de votion to duty A furnished the theme for this wonderful story, will form a roll of honor to be in- scribed on tablets of memory that will never perish. TlieVonderful story of Ameri ca and the world war the great est of all the ages will be told in song and story, will be illustra ted with tho painter's brush, and the figure that will stand out in greatest relief, that will loom largest on the horizon of history, growing with every passing year and an inspiration for every A- merican youth, will be tliat of the courageous, the indomitable but patient President, Woodrow Wil son. Inspired by partisan and sel fish ambitions traducers are at tempting to defeat the very pur pose of this man who now sits at the peace table, seeking to ' a- chieve llio full fruits of the vic tory that has been won at the cost of so much blood and treas ure; seeking to bring to a war torn world an era of lasting peace. Washington and Lincoln had their . traducers, little men who sought to detract from the greatness of men they could not even imitate; men whose purity of purpose and towering intellect they could not appreciate; but, like Washington and Lincoln, Wilson will grow in the love and admiration" of his country and the world until his figure towers a longside of the greatest men of all time Wilson, the father of our new freedom.
