THURSDAY, FEB. 4, !W mm HAPPINESS . . . . . . laws Sir Arthur-' IviLlititrtnn ''famnns. British scientist, told ship news re porters that the' only happy land he lrnfMr :)nv(ltimr 'iVir-iiit ic 't1i rnn in the familiar old hymn: , . "There is. a' happy land ".'.'' Far, far away." There never has been such a thing on earth as a happy land a land in which all the' people or even half the people were happy, except it may hav'e been in one of the South Sea Islands before white men discovered them and introduc ed new ideas about right and wrong and began to impose laws upon the people. i.. i i ! ;..t-.t . l vc ousyerveu- liinumei auic at tempts 'to make a land this land of ours a happy land by passing laws. It looks to me that the more laws we adopt, the farther away we get from the goal of happiness. The happy land is still "far, far away." v DELUSIONS . . . . . vary The trouble, with most of us is that we suffer from delusions de lusions as to what would make us v happy if we had it; delusions about how to make others happy. ,1 know earnest souls who are con- vtu-tu mat an iiic Kjkji ulu ikj make them happy is electric dish washers and modern plumbing. Most .of us 'believe that all we need to make ourselves happy is more j- juuircj man vvc uavc, sSo we pass laws, or demand their passage, to give everybody more money and more' plumbing, foolish , ly believing that happiness can be measured in dollars; I lean more and more strongly to the belief, as time marches on, that a nation would be a much hap pier place if practically all the laws which were designed to make folk happy were repealed over night. At least, such a procedure would make it easier for Washington to 'balance the budget and reduce taxes. v RESPONSIBILITY . . . no cop One of nay objections to trying to regulate all human affairs by law is that it takes responsibility away ' from the individual citizen and lays it on the shoulders of the police man. I believe most of the evils which laws are supposed to correct would te righted to the satisfaction of everybody, if everybody realized that they had to do the job" them selves, and couldn't get out of it by saying it was government's business to attend to it. . . ' There was a higher proportion of happiness, I believe, in the pioneer era when laws were few and sheriffs a long way off, and set tlers had to work out their destinies and tnose ot.tncir communities Dy taking responsibility on their own shoulders. At least, they enjoyed a higher measure of independence when there were no government agents around to tell them what to do, and they never missed the plumbing . which they'd never heard' of. f DIAMONDS . . ... . joy If you think it is diamonds that will make you happy, here's a chance to pick up the world's sec ond or ' third largest and , finest stone at a bargain. Three years ago this month I told in this column about a diamond almost as big as an egg which, a South African Dutchman' named Jacobus Jonkcr found on his farm and sold for $300,000. Well, the world's master diamond ,cvjjcrLazare Kaplan, finished .cut 3 " Ting up the Jonkcr diamond in New York just after New Year's. He got twelve gems out of it, the largest a magnificent jewel of 143 carats. Their owner, who bought the original rough diamond from Jonkcr, thinks the twelve w6uld make a nice necklace . and he asks only $2,000,000 for the lot! I haven't heard whether Jacobus Jpnker's $300,000 has brought him happiness or not. It seems likely "happiness out of the big diamond S6. far lis the skilled craftsman who Wad the joy of using his skill on suciv.; a piece of work.- , WEATHER . . . . . . crop Thusfar the Winter 'of 1936-37 has been as much of a freak as its predecessor. A ... year . ago ' the past was having the heaviest snows and the lowest temperatures since Washington's army nearly froze to death at Valley Forge. This year there have .not been a dozen really cold days along the whole Atlantic seaboard and no' snow to speak of. California has been suffering from the coldest Winter in years and Florida baking in the highest tem peratures on record. One good thing , about this open Winter has been the abundance of rain that has soaked in ".all over the drought-affected regions of the East. In very few sections, has the ground been frozen before the rain fell. Springs, wells a,nd reservoirs have been replenished and the out look is good for a big crop season. Whatever may happen between now and Summer; we can't have many weeks of cold weather now.
