X regretted. ago, they suggestive Memorlam' to Tennyaon's cloaest friend, Arthur Henry HallanL It la an utterance of the Imperlahable hopes and aspirations of the human aoul passing through the valley of the shadow of death. It la the English Classic on the love of Immortality and the Immortality of love It feels the forward movement of the world. It voices the hope for better things that springs eternal In the humaa breast It pays due respect to law and order. It breathes sturdy and thoughtful patriotism. There is a profoundly religloua spirit In it. It is full, of the ultimate spiritual Instincts and cravings <£ humanity: XUng out, wild balls, to the wild sky. The flying oloud, the froaty light: Tha year la dying In the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old. ring In the new. Ring, happy bells, across the anowg The year Is going, let him go: Ring out the false, ring In the true. Ring out tha faud of rich and poor. Ring In redress to all mankind. Rise la -tha nebler modes of Ufa With sweeter rumors, purer lite. Ring la the lova of truth and right. Ring In the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease: Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out tha thousand wars of old. Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring In the valiant man and free. The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land. Ring In the Christ that Is to be. THE foregoing verses, once so popular and now rarely quoted, are in themselves suggestive of the changes time has wrought since they were penned. "Ring out the old, ring in the new," sings the poet Glancing at the "^fixty Years Ago Today" column In the daily newspaper, we see that the Dally News of Londori was editorially denying that the claims of the United States against Great Britain because of the Confederate cruiser Alabama's destruction of Union shipping were -asujBeient caftse for war, and 2,000 guests were presetlt at ji^New York reception to General Grant Great Britain paid the United States $19,000,000 damages because of the Alabama; the United States saved Great Britain in the World war; today the peace and stability of the world hangs on the friendship of the two great English-' speaking nations. General Grant was mads President by the North because he was the leader who won the Civil war. Today we have a reunited country, cemented by the common service of the Blue and Gray in the Spanish-American and "World wars. Twenty-five years ago today John Alexander Dowie, the American healer, was being mobbed In London by medical students; today the music of Dowie's Zlon Is heard over every American radio. Ten years ago today Germany a^eed to pay an indemnity to the United States for-.the 115 lives lost when the Lusltania was torpedoed^ bat refused to apologize for the sinking of the liner.. Today Germany is working out her redemption under the Dawes plan and the world Is discussing the appeal to women to "scrap the submarine" of Lady Astor, an American-born woman In the British parliament AGAIN sings the poet. "Bins out the false, ring in the true"--which is to say: New truths for old fallacies; discoveries, Inventions, improve meats, increased efficiency in all walks of life. Along this line progress is too rapid to be appreciated; a new Improvement Is announced before* the last can be recorded. Our national prosperity Is in large measure due to the constant expansion of tbe application of scientific discoveries to the Industry and commerce. Electric power and light, the gas engine and radio have revolutionized and are still Improving modern life. Yesterday was announced the discovery by federal government scientists of the secret of fixed nitrogen, indispensable for the making of munitions and fertilizer. Today a California scientist reports the existence of a new ray, stronger than the X-ray and witll one thousand times greater frequency. Tomorrow --what? And what of the radio in 1828? Gueas for yourself! It was in 1807 that the first Marconi station was erected. Its experiments covering a range of •bout 14 miles; January 24-30 will be International Sadio week with its broadcasting among fifteen nations. Radio Is now instructing and entertaining Hie world. It Is sending photographs; boiling a kettle on a cake of Ice, and stopping rallroed trains with emergency brakes. What next? sENNYSON writes, "ring out the feud of rich and poor." In the larger sense this feud has been rung out In America. There are no longer any "poor" in the meaning of this word as Tennyson used It.- America is the most wealthy, most •' prosperous and happiest nation of earth. The prosperity of the American people this year has Shade possible the highest standard of living In •11 history. Specific illustrations of this prosperity meet the eye at every turn--streets full of automobiles and " taxis; sidewalks full of men and women dressed In accordance with fashion's latest whim; homes equipped with radio; millions of M«ctators at football games at a cash expenditul» of untold millions; millions at play In the midJe of winter --in warm-weather sports in the SoJn and California atad In winter sports in New England and the national parks of the West; the Florida land speculation rivaling the "Mississippi Bubble" of two centuries ago; a record-breaking building construction of $7,000,000,000. Moreover, labor is now one of the heaviest investors in the commercial and Industrial enter-* prises of capital. Best of all is the fact that conditions apparently point te s continuance of this ^ prosperity In 1820. AGAIN, there Is the line, "Ring In redress to all mankind. "Redress" carries with it the suggestions of wrong Inflicted upon the helpless and imfortunate and of acknowledgment, reparation and rehabilitation. Doubtless there Is need In many places of earth for redress in the fullest meaning of the word--but not In the United 8tates. This is increasingly the land of liberty, equality of rights and opportunity and pursuit of happiness. This nation Is the one nation of earth dedicated to these precious things and the passing years but confirm the dedication. All the world knows this; if we were to throw open the gates of America the rush of immigration would be beyond Imagining. The equality of opportunity here Is beyond anything history has ever seen. It is literally true that the highest positions In the land are open to all. Even the Presidency la open, the single . restriction being that of native birth; President Calvin Coolldge Is a farmer's boy who worked as bard during his youth as any young American. The high executive positions In the federal and state governments and the seats of congress are full of self-made men. The great salaries of the "high-ups" In business world are in tbe large majority of cases drawn by men who have worked up from the bottom. Education Is free. Efficiency Is well rewarded. The young American of today has only himself to blame If be does not amass a competence, establish a home and found a family. There are no Class distinctions to bar bis rise. Theoretically there are no oppressed who should have "redress." In practice there are flies In our ointment; what human nature improves these will be removed. AND again Tennysons sings, "Blag out old shapes of foul disease." Many have been rung out and more are going with every ringing of tbe bells. Yellow fever and the bubonic plague •--world scourges--have been eliminated from tbe map. Smallpox is no longer epidemic. The tropics tiave been made habitable for the white man; the death rate of the Panama Canal zone Is less,, than that of many cities of the temperate sofoe. The health of massed populations, long one of the world's greatest problems, has been assured ; of the death rate of cities of over 1,000,000 people Chicago's Is lowest with 1L2 a thousand, Paris' is highest with 14.8. The toll of tuberculosis (Chicago 1824. figures) has been reduced to 8.11 a 10,000; of pneumonia to 9.64; of cancer to 10.50. Heart disease Is now the worst of tbe dread list; it kills 18.78. Chicago, like other great American cities. Is living too faat --working too hard, playing too hard. Man's avocations are as strenuous as his vocations. Our modern civilization is too fast and furious to be sane or safe. Herein lies the value of the new National Outdoor Recreation conference, which would make as understand that wholesome outdoor recreation amid scenes of natural beauty is the God-given antidote for many of the ills of our Twentieth century civilization. TENNYSON voices a th< present-day world cry in the line: "Ring out the thousand wars of old, ring in the thousand years of peace." It is now seven full years since the armistice. These have been years of all the passions of war without. Today, for the first time, the horizon is bright with hope. Europe has come to a realization of Its desperste plight. It now sees that no European nation won the World war; that on the contrary that war brought disaster to all, victor and vanquished alike. No nation possesses the resources to accomplish its rehabilitation unaided. To retain even an approximation of their pre-war domination of the world the nations of Europe must combine and co-operate to an extent hitherto unthinkable. Tbe situation has resolved itself to a question of self-preservation. So the Locarno agreement Is more than a gesture of willingness to abstain from war. It means the wish for constructive peace, the desire to begin the work of rehabilitation and the hope of restored world pre-eminence. The New Year will presumably see a Pan- European congress, working independently of tbe League of Nations. It will endeavor to break down nationalistic divisions, bring about general disarmament and establish an organization some* what resembling a "United States of Europe." No, Europe has not accomplished a spiritual regeneration. It is a plain case of realization that something of the kind must be done to avoid complete collapse. United Europe against the world--or Europe's day is done. iptNALLY, writes Tennyson, Siting in the Christ r that is to be." Would that the New Year bells could fulfill his wish, for In Christianity lies the only hope of a reformed human nature and a regenerated world. The World war has brought forth the charge that Christianity Is a failure. Certainly crime is rampanh The churches and factions within the churches are quarreling. Nevertheless, Christianity is stilF the driving force of civilization. The Bible continues to be by far the world's best 6eller. It has been translated Int most of the languages of earth and the presse cannot begin to supply the demand. Haa th Christianity of the Jesus Christ of that Bible ever been tried by the world? One thing Is sure: New Year's day is a day when every good Apierican should take stock of himself and resolve to do his mite toward making the wish of the poet come true. What John Brought Home for New Year tfXTOW, don't be gone all night" 1>I called Mrs. Bean as her only son dashed oat of tbe bouse. Then she sank Into a chair and began to cry. It was the first New Year's eve since pa had gone, and it was also the first time she had allowed herself to give way to her sorrow. "If John goes to the city and leaves me here alone, m die," She sobbed- "And he will go, I know." But soon she brushed the tears awiy and took up her darning. She felt better because she had had a good cry. At ten o'clock she set out some milk and pie for John when he should come In. "I hope he won't be late," she said. Til wait a little bit and see." ^ In spite of herself, Mrs. Bean fell asleep, and was only awakened at midnight by the cheery voice of her son. "Happy New Year, mother; Happy New Year. Wake up and see what I've brought home." She rubbed her eyes, and looked, but • found herself smothered in the arms of a younger woman who was kissing her. "It's Jennie, mother," cried John. "We've just been married, and she's coming here to live with us, and Tin going to stsy In the store and not go to the city." "You dear," exclaimed Mrs. Bean, now folly awake. "And Jennie, you're last die girl I wanted John to nlariy. but I had only hoped. May New Year's for you both bold happiness as great as that you give me, and may God bless us all."--II. Lucius Cook.

"We want to be muscblar and virile." So one of Sandow's stories always be-, gan. "We don't want to be like Mr. Siss. A "Mr. Siss was a milliner, and when he came home from the shop one evening, there was his neighbor and chum, l>lck Dasher, sitting on the parlor sofa hugging and kissing his wife. " "Well, Richard!' snapped Mr. Siss, and he stamped his foot "Well, Richard Dasher, I never expected this of you. and you my best friend, too? Arent you ashamed?" "So he scolded on. getting angrier every minute, and finally he went right up to the sofa and shook his finger In his false friend's face. " 'Richard Dasher.' he hissed, "stop kissing her while I'm scolding you, do you hear?"" Dont Forget Cutteura TaleyiA - When adding to your toilet requisites.
