The leaves are ail out. The flowering shirubs and trees are on parade. Why isnl't it a good time f or uls humans also to (10 a littie show- ing ff. "lie ýeffect wiIi be worth. while ail. around.

No singing of little children, no tones f rom the violin of a Kreisler or. the piano of a Paderewski. Not even the warblings of. birds or of the happy lijle brook. Existence, but flot real if e. Happinéss is the supreme good of if e. Where there- is happiness there is. MUSIC. They are. like. the two faces of a coin, în- separable companions.: W.Te must have Musici unr* schools, our homes, our social, hf e outside. Ve- need our, aris-rcialséries, our orchestra concerts. our opera. 'Ne can exist withotut them, but what an existence! away f rom the windlow, are contenting themselves with mere buds. Sone reallsts hold that, the hieat f rom a radiator near the window is the cause for this wonder of a chilly April. But tbiese realists are unable to rate a smile at itg face value. THE.RE A-RE SMILES that niake us happy, but thcre are laughs that linger like a menxory ofa thunderstormi. Victor McLaglen and George Bancroft hiave Iaughs like that. ýRe niei-, ber "Tie Cockeved World",? Recali the Mc- McLaglein- horse lau-gh that, resQunded clear around the cockeyed, world when Ednxund',Lowe ,was tossed clown the stairs: WeII, George Bancroft bas an equally niemior- able laugli in "The World and the Flesti." Bar - croft is a sailor and his laugb sounds like a blend of Niagara Falls and the dash ing of waves on a, stormy, night. Yes,, ev'en though your heart is breakifig, laughi clowni, laugh,. but y-ou'li ha ve to go a long -way hefore vou catch ilp to Victor M\claglen, and George Bancroft. If these miusic squa.bbles aren't settled soon, the national anthem ili be: "Ail That Fin Needing Is Syniphony." ANOTHER RE STAURANT RHAPSOL)V Doughnuts, like smnoke rings, seein to inspire a* philosophic calni-at any rate, a new depth Cif t'hought along with a sense of finality. We %Nere sipping coffee in a restaurant the other evening. when an old man came in and ordered five doughnuts., * 'They look prettvy greasy," lie rem1arked. " don't think Itheyre ' ery good for- me." I The waiter was not taken aback by this obser- vation.; He' had. been gazing at1 doughinuts for years; hacl actually beconie a doulghinut-phýiloso- plier. Looking thoughtfully, at the old niait, the waiter replied, with a sentiment as shapely -as a doughnut, "Well, you miight as welI dlie happy,,." SAY, . s of, dollars shav-e been ted f or f ood f or the hungrv. NowadaVs no one thinks of asking An 1 my brotber's keeper ? It is so obvious that. we are members one of another that the ques- Ail thiat is needed to miake our commun- ities civic successes is enthusiastic co-opèra- tion with our trustees and other public serv- ice agencies. Gin .(the type-eating terrier) 'isý getting the best of us and wvill yet be our ruin. When we sec our friends, wè fl to inquire tenclerly, -ow are ail your relatives?" Instead, we yelp, "-How's Nvour dog;?" -Night Ecltor. I r I
