The bane of the revolution- ary belt Is that each Ceniral Ameri- cdn republic has its liberal and con- servative factions, which work | gether a ss national boundaries | One having a liberal administration | is accused of harboring liberal plot- neighboring to- {ters from conservative [states and vice | with truth, This gerves to keep Cen- [tral America in turmoil and explains |the collapse of the Central American | Federation, that was set up with such } flourish a year ago. The conservatives want such a fed- eration of the five republics. The | liberals do not, probably because they |are not in control of the governments, | Several abortive revolts have recent- ly been suppressed in Nicaragua and | Honduras. The three presidents now lin conference are threshing out the ir, {differences and no doubt arranging 'tor common measures to protect themseives against trans-border in- la | surgency, o ------ THE "BEST SELLER." The old world is not a bad place in which to live, after all, and the peo- ple are not forgetting their God and the Giver of all good things. Book publishers confirm the state ment that there is an increasing sale of the Bible to-day, the greatest piece of the world's literature. For a time, and more especially during the period of the war, it was asserted that people Were forgetting their religion. They lare not forgetting it--they have only been indifferent, When times change from abnormal prosperity to dullness, it {s then thoughts turn to things really beautiful, in this life, rather than to things material | But while more Bibles are beirg sold to-day, according to the publish- Lers, they do not sell best when times are hard. The distinctive panic years show no larger sale of Bibles tham | the prosperous years, according to the |records. There has been a decided Increase in the foreign distribution of the Scriptures, the American Bible Society having alone sent out 3,825,- 101 Bibles in 1920. Generally speaking, the public pre- {fers to buy its Bibles rather than to | get them for nothing. Men who were | given pocket Testaments during the war have become desirous of pPossess- ing the complete work. The seed | which was sown then has taken root, A TEST OF WORTHINESS, | When. a Minneapolis millionaire | provided in his will that his sons {should have $500,000 each if within [ten years after his death they had | earned $25,000, he fixed a standard {which may cost one of the most | worthy of his sons his inheritance. This son left his job during the war |and enlisted in the British army, and jalthough he arose from the ranks to | | wayme ill be tied to the office until of the olc.|® Captaincy in. the artillery, will not | Y2Y™men wi | be able to meet the conditions of the | bequest, He is on his way west in an [effort to overcome his disqualifica- tion by legal procedure and few will | not wish him success, The father, no doubt, intended only [to compel his sons to prepare them- | selves for the responsibility of wealth | by demonstrating their ability to earn | comfortable living, An excuse of iesser merit than the World war and | the desire to serve humanity prob- | ably would not be acceptable for the | test seems fair and worthy of com- | mendation, | All fathers are not wise enough to place restrictions on their children. { The son of the American woolen king {wag killed the other day when his $15,000 automobile going 60 miles an {hour was wrecked. ' In Philadelphia the sons of a rich contractor were ar- jresied on a charge of drunkenness | after 'an all night orgy in the pala- tial home left in their care. The father's wealth might be the son's reward, but too often it is his means of disgrace, ------ WHY WORRY? What worries you most in lite? Generally we buck up and face our big problems squarely. Our attitude Is, "I'll do the best I can. It won't do any good to worry about it." Then We turn around and worry about a trifling incident or situation. Worry js a psychopathic condition, an emotional disease. Sometimes it {1s caused by unconscious vanity--an exaggerated conception of the im- portance of ourselves and our sur- roundings, Now that the medical nrofession is beginning 'o understand the endo- crine glands of the body, a peculiar cause to worry is discovered, This type of worry sometimes takes the { form of a constant apprehension of | impending disaster, a fear of nothing jo Particular, caused by over-secre- tion of certain chemicals by the | thyroid and adrenal glands. i Usually, though, Worry is a mental | disorder, a sort of escape of steam or leak from the disordered nervous sys- tem. | , .The best medicine is work and a hobby interesting enough to take the patient's mind off his worry and make him forget it. The WOrTy may come back as soon as the work and play aré halied. But generally the brain cana be trained to forget, just | the Same as it can be trained to re- | member The moment you find yourself worrying, strive to dismiss the sub- ' versa, and usually | seg THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. foot trom your mind.

They were telling some stories over at the hotel the other evening and a quiet little man In the corner had listened patiently to weird yarns the members of the local Ananias Club | had been spinning. Finally he asked: "Any of you fellows ever see a hoop snake?" They all admitted having heard of such a reptile, but didn't take any stock in it. 8% "Well, said the quiet lMttle man, "I do. And I have good reason for being mighty partial to that particu~ lar type of snake. I was motoring back from Palm Beach last winter when, while crossing the mountains, I hed four blowouts, leaving my car on four rims I was feeling mighty bue, because I was steen miles from nowhere and had only one spare tire While I was wondering what to do long came three of those hoop snakes rolling down the mountain side and stopped beside my car. Do you know What those fat little rascals did? They each took a place along side a wheel and I tumbled to their idea in a sec- ond.
