XSQowen 1 The Bargain Counter of Life By BEATRICE FAIRFAX All through life most of us accept substitutes for the things we really w/tnt. We justify ourselves to our selves by saying that we can't have what we want, and so we might as well take the next best thing. We fill up our minds and hearts with Idle vanities and feed our souls on empty shells— and excuse ourselves by saying we do this In order to attain contentment. What we really do attain is littered up and useless lives from which op portunity is shut because there is no room for her—and from which growth Is excluded because we force an un natural development. There are some of life's gifts for which there is no possible substitute. For love there can be none. Nor for honest work. Truth and honor, and high ideals, and friendship, and appre ciatioin of beauty, and religion, and ambition, and a humorous conception of one's place in the universe, coupled with a sane sense of responsibility, must be in every life that is to be fine, and big, and constructive, and happy. Nothing else will take their place. There is nothing "just as good" as sympathy and understanding —nothing else will so equip you for love or friendship—nothing else will make you so lovable or so worth liv ing with. No one can cheat you but you. your self. You never have to accept sub stitutes for the things you really want; you never have to take the next best thing instead of your own high desire. Then why do you do It. Because you are too impatient to wait for the consummation of your desires because you are too much a doubter to believe life will give you the op portunity to attain what you long for: because you are too ready and will ing to take the opinion of any chance comes as to what is a worthy ambition instead of holding to your own con ception of it; finally, because you are too lazy to work for the fulfilment of your ambitions or too easy-going and weak-willed to formulate clear am bitions—for any of these four reasons you take the first thing that chanced to be offered instead of striving and struggling for what you really want and what your nature needs for In fulfillment. The Case of Abused Love Consider the case of poor, abused love. How many women marry the man they love—or any one of the dozen or so men somewhere in the world who might come up to their ideal? Eleanor adores Dick. Dick marries Lucille. Promptly then Elea nor rushes into an engagement with Robert and marries him partly be cause she is afraid of an empty life, partly to prove to the people who might suspect her of an unrecipro cated affection for Dick that they are wrong, partly to show Dick that she Is attractive to some man and partly point Vis " Velvety body 1 NC GRIT» ■ —there are I ■ six more in I Sterling Gum I The7-point dum I • -ID Cinnamon •fcuiaiitwi« g\ SAFETY] S# FIRST The object of "Safety First" is prevention.

What Happens? Eleanor has no love to give Robert. She cheats him she cheats herself; she denies herself and the man whose greatest mistake and crime is nothing worse than lov in where he cannot inspire love, a chance at real happiness. If Eleanor had waited, a love greater than the fancied or real one she felt for Dick might have come into her life. She might have found contentment in work. She would have left open for herself a chance at happiness. But no. Blindly and quickly she must seize upon the next best thing to what she really wanted. And with the .image of one man in her heart she cannot make herself happy with or give happiness to another. For love there Is no substitute love. Take the case of ambition. Sup pose you long to be a great singer. Suppose you have the equipment in ability and temperament and even op portunity—provided you will work and deserve it. But the road is long and hard and means deprivations and difficulties to be overcome. The goal is far away. Right at hand lies a certain competence in a chance to sell insurance. You take the easy path of salesmanship, although in your heart there is one great vision that blots out everything but the one thing —fear of work. You have assurance that you could hardly fail as a singer— provided you would work. But you are lazy. You assure yourself that an artistic career is uncertain at best and you become a mediocre salesman (who will never have to starve, it is true) but, who w-lth heart and interest centered else w'here, will be most unlikely to climb to any pqsltlon of responsibility in your company. And all your life you sneak away to hear great singers and rouse yourself with a start from dreams of what might have been if you had 'been willing to wait and work. Nothing So Good As Work And now for work—the saving grace of humanity. Is there anything "just as good' as that? Is a "cinch" or a "snap" or a dishonest get-rich quick scheme or a life of idle luxury gained through accident of birth or in some mercenary way, to be com pared with it? The only "next best thing" to work Is—more work! There Is nothing "Just as good" as a chance to make a place for yourself in the ■world or to prove your ability and strength and fine mentality. Suppose you drift into some occu pation where by going through a quick routine every day, by making the motions of attending to business you can manage to get on. Will this profit you anything? Most decidedly not. You may make a living and keep GOOD-BY TANGO Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 30. Good-by to the tango, New York can have that worn-out and overdone species of the tepsichorean art if it wants it, but Philadelphia, no! Members of the Philadelphia Danc ing Masters' Association, in semi monthly session on the Garden Pier yesterday, refused quite positively to be convinced to the contrary, even after Prof. Morris Eschner, of Atlan tic City, with the aid of a music box and two young women partners, both Instructors, had endeavored to demonstrate that what he called the New York standardized tango was an ideal dance.

Your power to meet and cope with situations will not be cultivated. You will simply putter along at your task. For love and ambition and work— for any of the big realities of life there Is nothing "just as good." I don't believe in Idle repining. If you long for p. college education and positively cannot manage to get It. don't whine—don't stt around and feel that life is empty. Get AN education. It may not be the one you wanted, tt may not be just as good. Don't offer it to yourself as a substitute —but set about learning all the things you want to know. FIND OUT WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO LEARN AND LEARN IT. It won't matter much whether you get your education in college halls or at night school—or out of a course of reading at home. The name doesn't count. The point is—get what you want—an education. Don't just fill up your life, with humdrum interests and try to forget that you wanted to go to college. It was to learn you de sired. Well then you can learn. Eleanor, who loves Dick and is not loved by him is not eut off front all love unless she hastily marries a man for whom she does not care. Antonio, who has a magnificent voice Is not cut off from being a great singer unless he cheats himself of his chance to become what he de sires by actually going out of his way to be something else. And John, who accepts a sinecure position in his uncle's grocery store when he might have worked his way through college Is not having a sub stitute for his desires foisted on him —he is accepting it—he is actually taking it! Just remember this—no one can cheat you except yourself. He who offers you near-silk when you ask for silk and are prepared to pay for it is either a cheat or a fool. You classify him as such. You insist on what you asked for—on what you wanted. If you had wanted cheap, poor material for any reason you would have gone to the bargain coun ter and offered bargain counter prices —no more! Well, then—why not apply the same principle of efficiency to the great motions and primal facts of life. If you want the best—if you are honest ly prepared for the best—to give an honest and decent "value received'' therefor—lf you insist on the best who is going to dare offer you a sub stitute, or offering it. who can foist it upon you? Don't accept susbstitutes for the great things in life. Conceive of them greatly. Desire them strongly. And so desiring, strive for them. Remem ber—"No one can cheat you save only yourself." THE MOTOR HE HOT IS EXPLAINED Highway Commissioner Cunning ham Issues Circular Giving In formation About It The terms of the new act con cerning the registration of traction engines and tractors have been mis understood so much that State High way Commissioner Cunningham has issued a circular letter to employes of the department explaining the pro visions of the act and calling their attention to the interpretation placed by the department upon various clauses of the act. The act approved June 8, 1915, di vides traction engines or tractors into two classes: First, those used ex clusively for agricultural purposes, road grading, and transporting the machinery and appliances, which, when at rest, they operate with their own power; second class, those used for freighting which includes all haul ing upon the public highways, except such as are spectfied in the first class. According to section 10, clause "G," of the act, it is necessary for engines of the second class to obtain a per mit in addition to the regular license tag, but the State Highway Depart ment has interpreted "freighting and hauling," as used in fhis act, to mean that a regularly established route is being maintained by the operator of the engine, as for instance, a team ster hauling logs from a logging camp to a saw-mill, or stone from a quarry to a crusher, or freight from the rail road station to the distributing plant, etc. This interpretation gives the State Highway Department power to pre vent the destruction of highways by the continued use of traction engines which will tear It apart. 8 Injured in Motor Accidents Over Week-End Eight persons including a small girl were more or less seriously injured In a series of motor accidents over the week-end in which two automobiles and a • motorcycle were badly dam aged. The most serious accident occurred when nine-year-old Pearl Adams, or 1210 Berryhill street crawled in her father's touring car, and released the brake, allowing the machine to coast down the steep grade. The child was at the steering wheel and courage ously tried to turn the auto into Crescent street, but struck a pole, practically ruining the machine. The child was caught beneath the steering wheel by the back of the front seat. She has probable internal injuries and many bruises. Four persons narrowly escaped in jury Saturday night when the jitney in which they were riding turned turtle at Second and Walnut streets and threw them out. The new auto mobile of Charles NefT, of Sixth and Dauphin streets was badly damaged when it was struck by a street car at Fourth and Dauphin streets. He es caped with bruises and lacerations. Miss Esther Anderson, 505 Reily street, applied to the Hospital Satur day night for slight injuries received in an accident near Mechanlcsburg. The motorcycle of W. Herbert Wil klns, of 45 North Sixteenth street was practically demolished and he re ceived a contused ankle when struck by an automobile, yesterday after noon at Eleventh and Market streets.

That's the big: question of the story plcturized in the Sellg Red Seal six reel film, "The Millionaire Baby," billed as the headliner of to-day and to-mor row's Colonial program. The story deals with the mystery sur rounding the disappearance of a baby girl, who through strange clrcum siances, lives next door to her real mother and is devoted to her father, although she does not know how much he means to her. She is sold to a rich woman when an infant and is raised to believe this woman is her mother. At the time she is stolen there are sev eral characters upon whom suspicion rests. The explaining of this tale of mystery and intrigue is one of the best ever written by the famous author of detective stories, Anna Katherine Green. The Colonial's program for this week is exceptional. With "The Millionaire Baby" as an opening headliner to-day and to-morrow, the program will be featured Wednesday and Thursday with the Vltagraph Blue Ribbon feature, "Hearts and the Highway." with the beautiful Lillian Walker In the prin cipal role. It is a story of the reign of James II of England, written by the Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady.

CLOSING WEEK AT PAXTANG For this, the closing week at the Paxtang Park Theater, Manager Davis will further extend the elaborate vaude ville policy he has maintained all sea son by putting on a six-act bill instead of the usual five.

Tex. lit is situated at the mouth of a funnel of trade that drains a vast area and makes it a part of the com merce of the world. Railroads stretch forth their tentacles into the richest of cotton belts, into the great corn area, into the wheat lands as far north as Nebraska. Into those fields from which gushes much of the oil of the world. These are shuttled into Houston and are causing to develop one of the busy marts of the nation. A hundred years ago It would not have been possible for the most fan tastic imagination to conceive a city where Houston now stands. It is in the midst of the waste lands of the Gulf coast. Here was a marshy low land almost Impenetrable, so flat that rainfall would not run oft of it, scarce ly above sea-level, covered with a Jungle growth, with scrub oaks on the sand hills a little farther from the sluggish streams. Buffalo Bayou twist ed through the marshes beneath the moss-hung trees where slept the poisonous moccasin. Not even an abor iginee dwelt in a day's travel of its sultry solitudes. It was near this point that General Sam Houston fought the battle of San Jacinto which won Texas its indepen dence from Mexlcp, and made that unique statesman president of the new republic, the only man who ever at tained that honor.
